Summary

Summary of "The Dan Bongino Show: Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze" (Ep. 2414)

Release Date: February 3, 2025

Introduction

In Episode 2414 of "The Dan Bongino Show," host Dan Bongino and his co-host delve into the tumultuous political landscape reshaped by former President Donald Trump. The episode, titled "Trump Is Setting The Old World Order Ablaze," provides a comprehensive analysis of Trump's recent actions, the ensuing chaos within the Democratic party, and the broader implications for American politics and international relations.

1. Trump's Strategic Moves Disrupting the Status Quo

At the heart of the episode is Trump's strategic approach to dismantling established political and global structures. Bongino emphasizes Trump's transactional style, contrasting it sharply with traditional political rhetoric.

Notable Quote:

Dan Bongino [09:45]: "Donald Trump is not kidding. I hate to keep saying this, but you are constantly going to get your kicked in your nuts by this guy if you do not understand. He does not get emotional. It doesn't mean he doesn't care. He treats things as a spreadsheet."

2. Tariffs as a Negotiating Tool with Canada and Mexico

A significant portion of the discussion centers on Trump's use of tariffs to renegotiate trade deals with Canada and Mexico. Bongino explains how tariffs function as taxes on imported goods, aiming to incentivize domestic production and address issues like drug trafficking.

Notable Quote:

Dan Bongino [23:38]: "He said, you basically have till this week. I'm going to impose a 25% tariff almost across the board outside of energy on Canada."

The co-host elaborates on the economic implications, highlighting how tariffs can protect American industries but also risk economic dislocation if not managed carefully.

Notable Quote:

Co-host [26:00]: "Tariffs can be a valuable negotiating tool, but they are a tax. It's okay to be candid about what you're doing."

3. Combating Fentanyl Trafficking and Strengthening Border Security

Bongino and his co-host discuss Trump's proactive measures against fentanyl trafficking from Canada, underscoring the importance of border security. They highlight Trump's directive to deploy 10,000 Mexican troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to curb illegal activities.

Notable Quote:

Dan Bongino [27:00]: "Donald Trump, President Trump is about results. This just happened before we came on the air. Donald Trump, true social."

4. Internal Democratic Chaos and Media Critique

The episode critiques the Democratic party's internal struggles and perceived inconsistency in policy positions. Bongino references an Axios article by Mike Allen, criticizing the Democrats' supposed devotion to norms and institutions versus their actual actions.

Notable Quote:

Co-host [06:22]: "The Mar A Lago raid never happened. Multiple impeachments on fake made up crimes like a fake insurrection and a fake quid pro quo deal in Ukraine even though we released a transcript of the call."

Bongino disparages left-wing media outlets, accusing them of shell shock and inability to adapt to the changing political dynamics initiated by Trump.

5. Critique of DEI Initiatives and FBI Reform

The hosts criticize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within federal agencies, particularly the FBI. They argue that such policies undermine the effectiveness of law enforcement by ignoring necessary expertise and operational efficiency.

Notable Quote:

Frank Fugazi [44:54]: "A less diverse FBI is a less effective FBI. Try doing surveillance on the street in the inner city with two white guys."

Bongino and his co-host mock these views, asserting that removing DEI initiatives will restore the FBI's focus on its core mission.

6. Taxation and Misconceptions About the Wealthy

A heated segment addresses misconceptions about tax contributions from the wealthy. Bongino refutes claims that rich individuals evade taxes, presenting data to show that the top 1% of earners contribute a significant portion of income taxes.

Notable Quote:

Co-host [40:35]: "One out of every hundred people pays almost 50 cents of every income tax dollar."

Bongino emphasizes the importance of understanding the tax system accurately, debunking myths propagated by liberal narratives.

7. Trump's Leadership Style: Transactional and Results-Oriented

Throughout the episode, Bongino portrays Trump as a pragmatic leader focused on results rather than emotional rhetoric. This characterization is reinforced by discussing Trump's handling of recent crises, such as the precision airstrikes on ISIS in Somalia.

Notable Quote:

Dan Bongino [55:46]: "He is a transactional guy. Now, how many times I got to tell you this? Why were you at the same altitude. Give me an answer this week."

8. Aviation Disaster Response and Immediate Action

Bongino critiques the Biden administration's response to a recent aviation disaster, contrasting it with Trump's immediate and decisive actions. He underscores Trump's commitment to swift problem-solving without waiting for drawn-out investigations.

Notable Quote:

Donald Trump [54:37]: "I think that we have to make sure that this never happens again... It was because of weak rules in the Biden administration. And we're just not going to let that kind of thing happen again."

9. FBI Leadership and Accountability

The hosts call for comprehensive FBI reform, arguing that new leadership is essential to eliminating the influence of the "Deep State" and restoring the agency's focus on national security. They cite reports of internal protests and challenges within the FBI as evidence of systemic issues.

Notable Quote:

Dan Bongino [51:10]: "The acting director of the FBI refuses order to list FBI employees involved in J6 cases amid ouster of agency leaders."

10. Conclusion and Call to Action

Wrapping up the episode, Bongino celebrates the show's success, highlighting its position as a leading MAGA-oriented live stream. He encourages listeners to join the "Bongino Army" and stay engaged with the ongoing political developments shaped by Trump's leadership.

Notable Quote:

Dan Bongino [56:45]: "For the first time in a while we were the number one live stream in the United States overall last week. All five days we were on the air."

Final Thoughts

Episode 2414 of "The Dan Bongino Show" delivers a fervent critique of the current political landscape, championing Donald Trump's efforts to overhaul established systems and restore American sovereignty. Through a blend of strategic analysis and impassioned commentary, Bongino and his co-host outline the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead as Trump continues to redefine the nation's trajectory.

[Unknown Co-host]

The health and fitness segment I did.

[Dan Bongino]

On the radio show on Friday in my last hour, I cannot believe the feedback we got. It was like nothing I've ever done before.

[Unknown Co-host]

So I, I'm going to leave it.

[Dan Bongino]

Up to you guys on this.

[Unknown Co-host]

You can vote in the chat right now. Why?

[Dan Bongino]

For yes, good idea. And for no, terrible idea. But I'm thinking of adding because I don't want to take away from the.

[Unknown Co-host]

Show is a political show.

[Dan Bongino]

Okay, I'm not going to take away every week, but I'm thinking of adding on the podcast maybe a biweekly or a monthly hour long segment with fitness and health people where we can go into some of the life hacks I talked about because the feedback I got about it was crazy. How does that factor in to the weekend update? Excuse me. Still actually getting over that thing, but feel great. By the way, I did a 72 hour fast this weekend. So I did three straight days with no food. I worked. Listen, by the way, seriously, definitely, if you're planning on doing this, you better check with your doctor first. If you have low blood sugar or pre diabetes, this is probably not for you. However I do it, I do it about twice a year. It was really difficult. This is the worst one I've ever done. I think it's because I didn't have a lot of caffeine. Usually I have black coffee or green tea, obviously no sugar in it or any like honey or anything like that. So I did three days because I, you know, I'm terrified of getting cancer again, not to be a weirdo about it, but. And this autophagy kicks in after about 48 to 72 hours where your body starts to eat up old misfolded proteins and damaged cells. And I'm going to tell you something. I ate this morning for the first time in three days and man, I feel like a million dollars.

[Unknown Co-host]

So just throwing that out there.

[Dan Bongino]

If I sound a little wired today, it's probably because my brain is operating on glucose for the first time in three days rather than ketones. And I have been intensely focused all morning.

[Unknown Co-host]

All right, so enough of that.

[Dan Bongino]

Nothing else happened this weekend because I was fasting so I didn't want to go out. So no party and no nothing.

[Unknown Co-host]

Folks.

[Dan Bongino]

The Mexico thing is insane. I'm going to get to that.

[Unknown Co-host]

Trump is, I don't know how many.

[Dan Bongino]

Times I have to explain this to people.

[Unknown Co-host]

Please get it through your heads.

[Dan Bongino]

Left wing lunatics.

[Unknown Co-host]

We don't understand Trump. He's a fascist. He's a Nazi. Shut them up. You don't know what you're talking about. The guy is transactional. I don't know how many times I have to tell you this. He is not going to get into the emotions this.

[Dan Bongino]

We're imposing tariffs or you're going to fix this.

[Unknown Co-host]

That's the equation. He doesn't care about how people feel about it. What the media says, all of a sudden the call of Mexico happens when oh look, we're going to help you fix the border. Oh, okay, we'll get to that.

[Dan Bongino]

But I got a couple other things to go to get through because the left wing media is still in shell shock over what happened. And I told you there was going.

[Unknown Co-host]

To be this period here of disarray.

[Dan Bongino]

And internal Democrat chaos that obviously includes the media, Axios as well. They're all part of the same party, right?

[Unknown Co-host]

They still don't know what happened after this election. That is why it is an imperative.

[Dan Bongino]

Right now that we get the right people in there and we move quickly and break stuff.

[Unknown Co-host]

Break stuff that's broken.

[Dan Bongino]

That way we can fix it. The broken stuff needs to be really broken. That way we can fix it.

[Unknown Co-host]

We've got to move fast. The Democrats still don't know what's going on.

[Dan Bongino]

I read this this weekend in Axios by Mike Allen and seriously, I was.

[Unknown Co-host]

Not sure initially if this was sarcasm or not.

[Dan Bongino]

This is obviously a left wing outlet.

[Unknown Co-host]

They note reality check talking about how.

[Dan Bongino]

Trump they think is breaking norms. Democrats have a religious devotion to norms.

[Unknown Co-host]

And institutions that Republicans don't share. Bro, is this, is this freaking real? Mike Allen, is this Bro, is this real? It's a unique feature of Trumpism to.

[Dan Bongino]

Despise the deep state mainstream media and checks on executive power.

[Unknown Co-host]

Dude, what are you talking about? Democrats have a religious devotion to norms and institutions. Is this freaking real? Dude, you're talking about the Mar A Lago raid. Wait, what? That's a norm? Michael, how many times have we raided.

[Dan Bongino]

An ex president's home and his wife's underwear?

[Unknown Co-host]

Jordan, do you know he's going to say is a math major zero? He's like, I think it's the concept of absolute zero, the absence of value. Like it never happened. Hey Mike, bro, what are you talking about bro? The Mar A Lago raid never happened. Multiple impeachments on fake made up crimes like a fake insurrection and a fake quid Quid pro quo deal in Ukraine even though we released a transcript of the call. When does that happen? How many presidents, Michael, do you know that have been impeached twice over fake crimes? Just throw it out there. He's going to say same number, which is no number, which is zero. It is the absence of actual numerical value.

[Dan Bongino]

Zero.

[Unknown Co-host]

Zero. I'll throw another one. A spygate collusion hoax. How many fake international near World War 3 type scenarios were started over a fake collusion hoax with a nuclear powered enemy to by Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat machine. The answer is freaking zero. Mike, wake up, bro. I know your Axios outlet pretends to be kind of center, center left. This is crazy shit, dude. Democrats have a religious devotion to norm. I sincerely, and I mean this because.

[Dan Bongino]

I actually like reading Axios even though.

[Unknown Co-host]

It'S turning more and more communist by the day. You should seriously revise this or get.

[Dan Bongino]

In a new line of work.

[Unknown Co-host]

Freaking embarrassing.

[Dan Bongino]

Reality check, bro. Talk about a reality check. Also, I saw this work clandestine tweet this morning about usaid. Folks, it's. This is. I put it after this because this is happening right now. You know, it's. We're two weeks into the Trump administration. USAIDS already being purged. Usaid, we have done extensives. Leave this up for a second. We have done extensive segments with Mike Benz, Deep State Mike Benz, who, who dissects the Deep State all the time. He's the best guy at it. USAID is not an aid organization.

[Unknown Co-host]

It is a US government entity that provides a slush fund for every single Deep State censorship mission around the world you've probably ever heard of.

[Dan Bongino]

You know it's happening. USAD is being purged. Elon's openly pointing out the USAID had a role producing bioweapons like COVID 19 and kill millions. He says, ladies and gentlemen, I think we did it. I think it's actually happening. If we continue on this trajectory, Deep state oligarchs and NGOs will be directly implicated in crimes against humanity and the world will demand justice. The right people are in control of government and they know where the bodies are buried. I don't know this person, but I've never heard anything more accurate. Folks. Contrasts. Contrasts are powerful. Soundbites are powerful. Snapshots are powerful. The right people are in charge. The dissecting the Deep State machine is happening right now. And the contrast being created between Deep State Biden and Obama and this Trump sandwich we had in between are now absolutely priceless. There is so much good stuff happening this weekend I really. I had a hard time cramming it at the beginning of show. So you didn't miss anything.

[Unknown Co-host]

You may in the volume of information drinking from an open fire hydrant.

[Dan Bongino]

And you may have missed this.

[Unknown Co-host]

Donald Trump on truth Social.

[Dan Bongino]

This was this weekend. This morning I ordered precision military airstrikes.

[Unknown Co-host]

On senior ISIS attack planners in Somalia. These killers were hiding in caves, threatening the US and our allies. He notes at the end, we will find you and we will kill you.

[Dan Bongino]

Where is it? Where? Folks.

[Unknown Co-host]

I can't take. Michael can't take it either. I can't.

[Dan Bongino]

Maybe to people's house. You gotta adjust.

[Unknown Co-host]

I can't take the winning anymore. I can't take it. My. We still have not broken the rock.

[Dan Bongino]

Em sock em robots.

[Unknown Co-host]

Amazingly, although the Trump face on the.

[Dan Bongino]

Rockham sock and robots is great. I can't take the winning anymore.

[Unknown Co-host]

I can, folks. My blood pressure can't handle all this winning. I can't handle it. Michael can't handle it. Justin's walking out of the room. He's like, I'm 10 minutes. No more winning today. We don't have enough time in the show to cover all this winning. Poor guys, come in. We have these things called floaters.

[Dan Bongino]

I do it rundown the night before.

[Unknown Co-host]

And then between last night and this morning, I throw more elements in the show. They're called floaters because they're not in.

[Dan Bongino]

The rundown voicemail I leave. Why do you guys care? I'm just telling you.

[Unknown Co-host]

So in the morning, there's like 100 floaters because it's all winning. Michael's like, I'm sick of the winning. No much. No more floaters. Can we do a winning hiatus?

[Unknown Guest]

No.

[Unknown Co-host]

No, we can't. No, no, we cannot. We will not do a winning hiatus. There will be no hiatus of winning.

[Dan Bongino]

Now, I mentioned contrast. You think I just randomly threw that in there? Because obviously I'm kidding. I love the winning. Keep the winning coming. I don't care if my. Really, it is irrelevant if we cover all the winning in my show.

[Unknown Co-host]

It is if we. If there's so much winning, we can't cover it.

[Dan Bongino]

Fine, we'll cover it on social media later.

[Unknown Co-host]

We'll make it. We'll do a special. A winning special. But contrasts matter, folks.

[Dan Bongino]

And I went, seriously?

[Unknown Co-host]

You got Trump whacking a bunch of.

[Dan Bongino]

ISIS terrorists, saying, yeah, we'll kill you if you f with us again. You've got the Democrats who still think they're religiously devoted to norms and institutions.

[Unknown Co-host]

That was funny.

[Dan Bongino]

You got a censorship organization in usaid that's a front group for the deep state getting pretty much wiped out. Mexico basically folds this morning.

[Unknown Co-host]

And what are the Democrats doing?

[Dan Bongino]

Why Trump's kicking everybody's ass. Rock em sock em robot style.

[Unknown Co-host]

What are the Democrats doing?

[Dan Bongino]

One of these days these things are going to explode. Although they're pretty hard plastic, I'm not sure they're pretty robust. The Democrat, right? Damn right. Many years. The Democrats chose a new party leader at their convention this weekend. They picked Ken Martin from Minnesota.

[Unknown Co-host]

But they were, you know, they have.

[Dan Bongino]

To pick all the officers for the National Democratic Committee there. And a little fight broke out. This is real, by the way. I'm not kidding.

[Unknown Co-host]

Republicans winning.

[Dan Bongino]

Here are the Democrats arguing over, if.

[Unknown Co-host]

They'Re not shitting you, if they met the quotas for enough non binary candidates.

[Dan Bongino]

On the ballot so they had to move everything around. This is classic. Here's the Democrats versus the Republicans. Check this out.

[Unknown Speaker]

Rules specify that when we have a gender non binary candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted as neither male nor female. And the remaining six offices must be gender balanced with the results of the previous four elections. Our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female and one person of any gender. So again, this is what we have to do for this vice chair race. We have to elect one male, one female and one person of any gender. To ensure our process accounts for male, female and non binary candidates. We conferred with our RBC co chair, our LGBT caucus co chair and others to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in our rules.

[Dan Bongino]

Folks, I swear to you, I just said to the boys here I, I.

[Unknown Co-host]

Was going to cut this thing off early and I thought, no, let's enjoy.

[Dan Bongino]

And savor every second of that.

[Unknown Co-host]

So I let the thing play out. El Chumley in the chat says, I hope the Dems keep this shit up. Please bring Kamala to run again. Yes, El Chumley, comment of the day and thank you.

[Dan Bongino]

What is it? Red pill media for rating the stream. And I saw 1776 earlier. You guys are great. Appreciate the stream raids on Rumble. I'm going to have to rate a stream one day. That'd be crazy. Blow up your whole thing. Imagine that we raid someone's stream, like 180,000 people or something. I mean folks, I want to play.

[Unknown Co-host]

That is the Democrat party, you understand? They learn nothing. There's a reason I put the show.

[Dan Bongino]

In the order I did. It tells a consistent narrative in the beginning opening chapter of the show, Mike Allen from Axios actually believes that the Democrats are loyal to norms and institutions.

[Unknown Co-host]

Despite no evidence that's absolutely. They've known the true. They've learned nothing from the election then the Democrat leadership is now obsessed with. With g Jao Zhou, LGBTQIA, BioPC2 +9 binary spiritual. This is all they care about. Nothing Trump is actually doing, they care.

[Dan Bongino]

About or have contributed to.

[Unknown Co-host]

This is their entire agenda is identity politics and media people lying to America. That's it. They've learned nothing. They'll listen to me. They will unscrew themselves, I promise you. But it's not going to be anytime soon. We've got two years. We've got four years. No, we don't. Two. Two. We've got two. The midterms are in two years. You start thinking we got four years, you're going to get screwed.

[Dan Bongino]

Sitting on my earpiece here. Okay, now I want the contrast matter.

[Unknown Co-host]

I want.

[Dan Bongino]

There's a lot of FAF going on to. The fainting has already happened. The effing around the finding out part.

[Unknown Co-host]

Is happening now, folks, Donald Trump is not kidding.

[Dan Bongino]

I hate to keep saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway because it sounds self celebratory. But I promise you, I do not. You have my word. I don't mean it that way. I said during the election when people during the primary were telling me, you.

[Unknown Co-host]

Know, pick Nikki Haley. You like Nikki Haley?

[Dan Bongino]

Fine, great, do your own thing.

[Unknown Co-host]

I didn't.

[Dan Bongino]

I endorsed Donald Trump early. Proud of my decision to do that. I've been with him from the beginning.

[Unknown Co-host]

But I did it for a reason. Everybody's telling me he's going to be a lame duck. I said, you guys don't understand, number one, what a lame duck means. A lame duck implies he has no power. Donald Trump's greatest power is that he can't run again and already knows what to do because he's going to. He understands the fang and everyone else is going to foe. Now you're seeing it right now. The Washington Post is so flipped out about what Donald Trump is doing that now they're calling for mercy. This is.

[Dan Bongino]

He's laughing.

[Unknown Co-host]

This is an actual headline. Washington Post Colbert I king the mercy that's missing from the White House. You want mercy now? There's no mercy. We're not the mercy folks. This is people's elbows. There's no mercy. Time. Now, I want to be clear. I would never, ever, ever recommend to.

[Dan Bongino]

Anyone because I'm an actual constitutionalist that.

[Unknown Co-host]

Anyone violate the Constitution or their own.

[Dan Bongino]

Morality while they're in office to do things, you don't do that. That is a dispositive. Period, full stop statement. Ok?

[Unknown Co-host]

However, using the levers of government to right a wrong that happened to America under the Donald Trump four year out.

[Dan Bongino]

Of office period where he was ruthlessly.

[Unknown Co-host]

Targeted by a corrupt government, that is the government's job.

[Dan Bongino]

Mercy.

[Unknown Co-host]

This is a tactical matter.

[Dan Bongino]

Tactical? What do you mean?

[Unknown Co-host]

If the left that weaponized government in violation of what I believe the law and the Constitution is not taught a lesson by a judicial system that is designed to teach lessons. You rob someone the lessons, you go to jail. If you guys broke the law, which I believe you did. If we investigate and find nothing, we find nothing. But I believe there's a lot there and if we don't do anything about it, you will have learned nothing.

[Dan Bongino]

Mercy.

[Unknown Co-host]

Mercy, my ass.

[Dan Bongino]

Absolutely nobody showed mercy for the hard left targeting Donald Trump. You guys loved every. You salivated over it. Now you're going to see what that's like. I'm not about retribution, I'm about justice. Those are two different things. Those are not the same thing. Now I want to get to the important matter that just happened this morning. I'm going to take a quick break. But folks, how many freaking times we got to go over this with the tariffs thing and elsewhere, not you guys, but to the media dipshits who do not understand Donald Trump, I am trying to help you.

[Unknown Co-host]

This is the most popular MAGA show anywhere, livestream, aod, vod. We rule ott rumble, we kick ass. You want to understand the MAGA space?

[Dan Bongino]

Come here.

[Unknown Co-host]

You don't go watch another show. Donald Trump is a spreadsheet guy, period. You keep appealing to his emotion. Dr. Tariffs. That's mean. Really, it's mean. You know what's mean?

[Dan Bongino]

Drugs crossing our border, tariffs on our.

[Unknown Co-host]

Products, taking advantage of our military support.

[Dan Bongino]

As a member of Naito and not.

[Unknown Co-host]

Doing your own job. That's what's freaking mean. He's a spreadsheet guy. How many times I got to tell you this? You appeal to his emotion, you will lose. He is not emotional about it. He sees problems as a spreadsheet. Wake up.

[Dan Bongino]

Show you what I mean. In a second we're going to go through this whole tariffs thing. What it means, what it doesn't mean. Again, we're going to be honest about tariffs. They are taxes. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. However, there's a plus and a minus to this if used the right way. And you're going to see what happens.

[Unknown Co-host]

Hey, let's talk about one of the.

[Dan Bongino]

Biggest scandals in modern history. Inflation. When inflation rises, the cost of everything skyrockets. But what's the truth? Is it just bad luck or poor planning? Policy decisions are being made, many coming from the Federal Reserve. That's why you need to check out Playing with Fire Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve, an absolutely powerful new documentary from the Mises Institute. This film examines how the Fed's reckless policies have driven up inflation, crushed savings and enriched the elites, all while leaving ordinary Americans struggling. It is very powerful and worth your time. The Mises Institute has warned about the dangers of the Fed for decades, predicting both the 2008 financial crisis before it happened and skyrocketing inflation we're all feeling right now. And today, the film gives you a perspective the elites don't want you to hear when you visit mises.org Bongino M I S E S M I S-E S.org Bongino By May 31, 2025, sign up to get a free copy of what Has Government Done to Our Money?

I've been candid about you about tariffs for a long time, and unlike leftists in the media who will lie to you and say they love Democrats, love.

[Unknown Co-host]

Norms and institute yeah, sure, bro.

[Dan Bongino]

Okay. I don't change my mind on things. Tariffs are taxes. They are basically taxes on, very simply, taxes on goods that are imported into the United States. Canada imports, say, wheat into the United States and there's a 10% tariff that that tax is added on to that import value, which will make Canadian wheat more expensive. Now, obviously Canadians say wheat producers or milk producers. I bring up dairy for a reason. Canada tariffs our dairy heavily, right? Obviously the producers don't want this. They want to sell into the United States. So if their weed is 10% more expensive, people aren't going to buy wheat from Canada. They'll buy it from the United States. Now what winds up happening there? There are some countries who produce things cheaper. There are things, you know, we don't want to produce cheaper. I'm giving you the straight skinny. Rubber dog toys are not a thing. We're really prioritized in making in the United States. Our people are the smartest workforce in the world. We want to build cars, we want to build AI, want to build software, we want to build jet engines. We want to build high value added stuff because rubber dog toys, there are small margins. People who work in a rubber dog toy business don't make a lot. People make jet engines do. So we want to make good stuff. However, a lot of stuff has been outsourced out of the United States over the years because other countries tariff our stuff, making it more expensive to import into their country. So people move production out of our country. Donald Trump, as you can see from his True Social post, said this weekend.

[Unknown Co-host]

I'm not kidding about these tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

[Dan Bongino]

He said, you basically have till this week. I'm going to impose a 25% tariff almost across the board outside of energy on Canada. Now folks, I've told you many times, if Donald Trump is doing this tactically.

[Unknown Co-host]

To combat Canadian tariffs and drug running.

[Dan Bongino]

From both the northern and southern border into the United States and can get.

[Unknown Co-host]

Canada to move, this is transactional Trump winning.

[Dan Bongino]

Cue up the Schumer one. First, all the Democrats right now, by.

[Unknown Co-host]

The way, attacking Donald Trump on this tariff plan seemed to have a different.

[Dan Bongino]

Perspective a long time ago. Hat tip the great maze More M A Z E M O O R on X.

[Unknown Co-host]

Here's Chuck Schumer, Democrat leader in the Senate back in 2018 on tariffs, which sounds exactly like the Donald Trump position today. And now all of a sudden they're taking the opposite position. Why? Because unlike me, they're phonies and fakes and a lick their finger and see.

[Dan Bongino]

Which way the wind is blowing. Check this out.

[Chuck Schumer]

Look, I think the President's doing the right thing. China has been taking advantage of us for two decades. They're stealing our intellectual property, which means stealing our good paying jobs. And I frankly am closer on this issue, not on many, but on this issue with President Trump than I was with Presidents Bush or Obama because they did nothing to tell China off. Now China of course will respond, but if they know we're strong and we're not going to back off, they will back off. They have far more to lose than we do. They have a $300 billion trade surplus with us. So I'm looking out, number one for jobs. You know, if General Electric moves jobs to China, they're not unhappy. But my New York workers in Schenectady are unhappy. And so you can't let the international business companies who don't give a hoot about where their factories are govern this. You have to do what's good for the American worker.

[Dan Bongino]

All I'm asking, folks, is from some intellectual consistency on this, Schumer and the Democrats are taking the exact opposite position. Now, tariffs can be a valuable negotiating.

[Unknown Co-host]

Tool, but they are a tax. It's okay to be candid about what you're doing. You are taxing a foreign product imported.

[Dan Bongino]

Into the United States in order to.

[Unknown Co-host]

Either incentivize production of said value added.

[Dan Bongino]

Product in the United States, or you.

[Unknown Co-host]

Are doing it as a negotiating tool to say, we are going to tariff.

[Dan Bongino]

You until you stop tariffing us.

[Unknown Co-host]

Look up Canada's tariffs on the United States, folks. On some products, they're significant. So for all the people out there pretending that, oh, this is retribution, retribution for what? It's retribution, if anything. And by the way, the citizens of Canada, this is not nothing to do with you. The Canadian economy is struggling because you've got terrible leadership in Trudeau and other people. But here's going to be the next primary, who, by the way, is is.

[Dan Bongino]

All in on retarrofing back. So Paul Olivier, who I like, but I think he has to be a little bit candid here about what's going on.

[Unknown Co-host]

Here's here Paul Ovier, who's going to.

[Dan Bongino]

Be the next leader of Canada. These guys way ahead of the polls.

[Unknown Co-host]

Here he is a little while ago talking about Canada.

[Dan Bongino]

By the way, that Schumer segment is about China.

[Unknown Co-host]

I understand, but the same exact argument applies. Here's Paul Ovier talking about the fentanyl problem, tariffs and other things. Again, appeared to agree with Trump before he disagreed with Trump.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Paul Olivier]

On the Prime Minister's radical liberalization of hard drugs. He teamed up with the B.C. nDP to decriminalize fentanyl, crack and heroin. He lowered jail sentences for mass producers of deadly fentanyl. And 80% of the fentanyl made in Canada is done so using ingredients that are not even regulated but come right into our country where they're cooked into that poison. Now threatening our trade relationship with the U.S. will he reverse his radical liberal drug agenda to save lives and jobs?

[Unknown Co-host]

So when Donald Trump talks about, hey, we got a fentanyl problem from the northern border, too, he's not making it up it's the next. Next leader of counter is going to take Trudeau's place saying the exact same thing. Next PM he's saying the same thing. He said whatever he wants. Now this stuff lives forever. This is a real issue. Showing you again that this guy, Donald Trump, President Trump is about results. This just happened before we came on the air. Donald Trump, true social. I just spoke with Mexican President Scheinbaum.

[Dan Bongino]

It was a friendly conversation.

[Unknown Co-host]

She agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican troops on the border separating Mexico and the United States to stop the flow of drugs and illegal migrants. He agrees to immediately pause the anticipated tariffs. Thank. Do I have to read that again? Trump agrees to immediately pause the tariffs for a month, during which they will.

[Dan Bongino]

Have negotiations with Rubio, Secretary of State Besson from Treasury and Howard Lutnick from Commerce and high level representatives in Mexico. He looks forward to participating in those negotiations with President Sheinbaum as we attempt to achieve a deal between our two countries. Mike Allen, Axios and everyone out there trying to understand us. Red hat wearing lunatics.

[Unknown Co-host]

They're all fascist Nazis. 10,000 Mexican troops on the border to.

[Dan Bongino]

Stop fentanyl traffic that's been going on under the Biden administration for four years and before, but not to the degree it was under the Democrat administration we just got rid of. Where are your results on how come Biden couldn't do that?

[Unknown Co-host]

Trump's been in office how long, fellas? That's right. Two weeks.

[Dan Bongino]

Like a deuce.

[Unknown Co-host]

For two weeks.

[Dan Bongino]

The deuce two weeks. How come Biden couldn't do that? I understand. A bunch of our kids are dying. You know fentanyl kills you. You know a little bit of fentanyl kills you. You know that, right? You get dead. I was going to wear the don't get dead shirts. Fennel.

[Unknown Co-host]

Fentanyl gets you dead quick. And. And a lot of people around you. Why? Why do you get that done? Why tariffs are so bad?

[Dan Bongino]

I told you what tariffs are.

[Unknown Co-host]

I told you exactly what they are.

[Dan Bongino]

They are taxes. They can induce some economic dislocation when.

[Unknown Co-host]

You use them as a negotiating tool. He already paused the damn tariffs because he got what he wanted. Because he's a spreadsheet guy. If Trudeau, Paul Viej or anyone else in Canada does not give him what he wants and open up trade and do something about the Canadian border, then he's going to put on the terrorists. I don't know what to tell you. I'm not. I love Canada. I've been there, made a beautiful place. I'm just telling you fix it. Or he sees it as. He's not mad at you.

[Dan Bongino]

No, he is.

[Unknown Co-host]

No, he's not. I just spoke with President Sheinbaum.

[Dan Bongino]

He knows.

[Unknown Co-host]

Put it up again. What's the next line? Read it. What's the next line, Justin?

[Dan Bongino]

After I just spoke with President Scheinm. What does it say? No, it doesn't say that.

[Unknown Co-host]

Justin says it says it was a friendly conversation. Trump doesn't like us.

[Dan Bongino]

Really?

[Unknown Co-host]

He just said it was friendly. He doesn't care. Do what he wants because it's best.

[Dan Bongino]

For both parties and you know it.

[Unknown Co-host]

To Canada.

[Dan Bongino]

I love our Canadian friends that listen to the show. We have a huge audience. I get your emails. You guys are wonderful. Wonderful. Your leaders are horrible. The taxing and tariffing of American dairy.

[Unknown Co-host]

Products and other things. The fentanyl trafficking.

[Dan Bongino]

We need help.

[Unknown Co-host]

Let's not pretend that Canada and Mexico. We benefit from trade with Canada and Mexico. Period. Full stop. We do. But it's up to Canada and Mexico both to acknowledge you benefit significantly from the biggest superpower in the history of the universe being to the north and south of you, respectively. You don't have to spend 50% of your income defending from constant invasions because you have the benefit of the US Military. Just south and north. We're in Naito with Canada. They were one of the original 12 members. Naito. They don't have to work. They've contributed greatly. But who's carrying most of the load? We are. Fair enough.

[Dan Bongino]

Sorry about all the sound effects. I know, it's horrible. I like 100%, but I'm. My lungs are still recovering a little. Perfect timing. Was that.

[Unknown Co-host]

Was that a hint?

[Dan Bongino]

I got more on this coming up. By the way, some moron left this absolute tool bag on Twitter. Put up a video of me not realizing I was going to make an ass out of this dope.

[Unknown Co-host]

He's like, I can't believe this guy. You know what he's talking about? The rich people don't pay any tax.

[Dan Bongino]

They don't. Really.

[Unknown Co-host]

You have. You have any actual data to back that up?

[Dan Bongino]

What's that? No, Never, ever. We've never actually mentioned who pays taxes on the show. All right, quick break. We'll get back to the show. Hey, I just got back from a holiday trip and you know who saved me? I'm going to do my own read here, okay? All family. Put that on the Chiron. All family pharma. No joke. Two family trips, actually.

He said, I think you should take this.

America is in charge, ladies and gentlemen. They are. They are. I don't want these tariffs. I'm clear, okay? I've been clear. I'm never going to change my mind. But if we need these tariffs as a negotiating tool to get to freer, fair, fairer trade with our north and South American partners, which benefit greatly from our support and being geolocated in the exact same side of the globe and hemisphere as us, then we got to get it done, ok? We got to get it done now. There are morons out there.

[Unknown Co-host]

I rarely highlight these idiots, but these.

[Dan Bongino]

Guys knew this morning right away because they speak Bongino and Paula, which is like, you have to learn, believe me, you had to learn both languages, not just Damon. You better learn the other language too. That could break bad fast. Okay, Justin's getting it down. So I said to him this morning.

[Unknown Co-host]

Hey, you have that imbecile?

[Dan Bongino]

And he's like, I do. I didn't even have to say who it was. I said, make sure you put that here. So here is some dipshit on like TikTok or Twitter or whatever. I don't even know this guy's name.

[Unknown Co-host]

But apparently this guy believes that my Take that tariffs, although can be economically.

[Dan Bongino]

Dislocating, can be a valuable negotiating tool.

[Unknown Co-host]

To get to a better, more fairer trade system.

[Dan Bongino]

This guy seems to Think that my.

[Unknown Co-host]

Take on it is crazy because rich people who don't pay income taxes will.

[Dan Bongino]

Now have to pay tariffs.

[Unknown Co-host]

Rich people don't pay income taxes. How do you say on Twitter I am a dumb mother without saying it? You do a video like this.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out. If Donald Trump can convince the Republican Congress to get rid of the income tax for a system of tariffs instead, ladies and gentlemen, the economy will absolutely explode like you have not seen since the Reagan years. May be bigger.

[Unknown Guest]

I have a question. Why would the rich people that don't pay any income taxes pass legislation to get rid of income taxes in order to replace that with a new set of taxes, tariffs and sales taxes that would actually end up costing them more money? You see, they already don't pay income tax, so there's no benefit to them for getting rid of income tax. But they do pay taxes on all the things they buy. And rich people buy a lot of things. And if we tariff all those things and if we increase sales taxes on all those things, that's going to negatively affect the rich people that you're asking to get rid of the income taxes that they don't even pay. Why would they get rid of something they don't pay and replace it for something that will cost them more money? They did not get rich by making stupid decisions like that. Thanks.

[Dan Bongino]

Did that. Is that even real? No, don't. Come on, Justin, Stop putting actual fact.

[Unknown Co-host]

The reason I picked is 1,000 websites.

[Dan Bongino]

That'Ll give you the actual IRS treasury data on who pays income taxes.

[Unknown Co-host]

I actually picked this site for a reason because it's called USA Facts. And if you notice the sourcing at the bottom, it's the irs. Leave this up to the absolute life loser dipshit whose parents must be so dumb they passed them the stupid genes that not only did you say this, but you said it publicly and put it on the Internet advertising how freaking stupid you are. You could have looked this up in probably under 10 seconds by just putting in your favorite communist social. Social media, what you might call it the Internet search engine thing, bullshit Google thing, who pays the most income tax. You could have actually figured this out yourself. I know you don't want to because facts and data aren't exactly your liberal wheelhouse. I mean, to be a liberal you have to be freaking stupid. But you'd find out that the top 1% of earners, what you would call the evil rich people who you just.

[Dan Bongino]

Said don't pay any taxes, pay 45.8% of income. 45.8 that sounds like a lot.

[Unknown Co-host]

I thought he said we pay none.

[Dan Bongino]

None, zero.

[Unknown Co-host]

So you're telling me one out of every hundred people pays almost 50 cents.

[Dan Bongino]

Of every income tax dollar? Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm so. I'm telling you. So I'm telling you.

[Unknown Co-host]

I mean, he could have just.

[Dan Bongino]

Look at this dipshit. I mean, this guy even looks stupid.

[Unknown Guest]

Thanks.

[Dan Bongino]

Look at this one.

[Unknown Co-host]

Thanks. Thanks, bro. Can you imagine this dipshit actually filming that?

[Dan Bongino]

Put it on video?

[Unknown Co-host]

Can someone ask him that? And by the way, his take is totally backwards. He doesn't even understand tariffs, consumption taxes. He has no idea what he's talking about. Why would rich people. Let me do a simple math equation for you. If you make $10 million a year, showing you he has the argument totally backwards. By the way, $10 million a year and you are not paying a tax on that income, but you are paying taxes on, say, 500,000 to a million dollars of consumption. Say you're paying a 20% tax via tariffs, or 25% or 25% to the. To this dipshit out there. Basic math. What's a bigger number? 25% on a million or 25% on 10 million? Michael, you're a math major. Do you know what a bigger number would be? The bigger number would be the bigger the number.

[Dan Bongino]

The habit is, folks, I can't take liberals. I can't. They are the dumbest people on planet Earth. Look at this guy.

[Unknown Guest]

Thanks.

[Dan Bongino]

Wait one more time because I. Everything's backwards on the screen.

[Unknown Guest]

Thanks.

[Dan Bongino]

Wait, one more.

[Unknown Guest]

Thanks.

[Unknown Co-host]

What a moron.

[Dan Bongino]

Stupid ass. Here's a Yossi guess. Edner. This guy's pretty funny. Hey, look what happened to Canada's economic size per person under Trudeau Few years before Trudeau, Canada's economy, or Canada as Karine Jean Pierre Canadia's economy was larger than the US Per person.

[Unknown Co-host]

It's been in the dumps ever since. And Trudeau is worried about Donald Trump. Maybe you should free up your economy.

[Dan Bongino]

And dump a lot of these tariffs on US Products and clean up the border situation. And maybe you wouldn't have this issue.

[Unknown Co-host]

For those of you who can't color.

[Dan Bongino]

Coordinate leftists, the USA is the one on top. Oh, man, has this been a show today? That guy got me fired up.

[Unknown Co-host]

I usually don't advertise these morons, but.

[Dan Bongino]

This guy's so stupid. I had. I just had to blow this guy up because I just can't take stupid people. What? Oh, I know. I can see it on your screen over there.

[Frank Fugazi]

Hold on.

[Dan Bongino]

I need some blackout. I didn't even intend it to roll this way, folks.

[Unknown Co-host]

Right?

[Dan Bongino]

Because this was a floater.

[Unknown Co-host]

The imbecile guy was a floater, folks.

[Dan Bongino]

She was not in the original rundown.

[Unknown Co-host]

So to put two dipshits back to back, I promise you, is not intentional. We actually have a dipshit quota. Because I don't want to make any.

[Dan Bongino]

Of you really stupid.

[Unknown Co-host]

And I feel like by feeding you.

[Dan Bongino]

Stupid stuff, you're going to need, like, Prevagen to prevent, you know, that like.

[Unknown Co-host]

Brain cell, you're going to need fish oil because your brain will degenerate. So I promise, dipshit alert right now. If you've already lost too many neurons, listen to that last moron. I'm going to warn you.

[Dan Bongino]

Who's coming up next? Throw them in the chat, folks. Here it is. Wait.

[Unknown Co-host]

I'm born again. Dip alert. Early special appearance today by me 8, the grand dam of all dipshits, one Frank Fugazi. Fugazi's up next, so I'm warning.

[Dan Bongino]

We always are dumber after Fugazi.

[Unknown Co-host]

But this is an important segment, ladies and gentlemen.

[Dan Bongino]

Long overdue FBI reform is coming. We are going to make the FBI great again. Because if we don't have an FBI breaking up counterterror plots, trying to kill us, and they're worried about Moms for Liberty and Pro Lifers, then we got a problem, folks.

[Unknown Co-host]

FBI reform is coming whether they like it or not. Here's Faghese on MSNBC.

[Dan Bongino]

Infamous 88 guy, a total moron, whining on MSNBC and inadvertently, by the way.

[Unknown Co-host]

Exposing how arbitrary DEI stuff screws up the FBI. I want you to notice at the end, he's.

[Dan Bongino]

This is him whining about them ripping root and branch DEI out of the FBI.

[Unknown Co-host]

And he brings an example up at the end about having white guys in.

[Dan Bongino]

A surveillance in a minority neighborhood inadvertently.

[Unknown Co-host]

Exposing how bad DEI is by just randomly putting quotas out there. But because Fugazi is a moron, he doesn't even know he's making a case against himself.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Frank Fugazi]

Any semblance of diversity and inclusion is literally being wiped off the map. The New York Times put out a photo today of the walls of Quantico, the FBI academy, where they're painting over the FBI's core values to include integrity, adherence to the Constitution and diversity. A less diverse FBI is a less effective FBI. Try doing surveillance on the street in the inner city with two white guys. Try working undercover in a Middle Eastern terror organization with a white guy. It doesn't work that way. So we're becoming less and less safe very quickly.

[Unknown Co-host]

Understood.

[Dan Bongino]

I mentioned that Cash Patel disclaims that he opposed again, I'm sorry to put these two zeros back to back, but did you notice the example Fugazi gives that completely refutes his DEI argument?

[Unknown Co-host]

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are investigating, say a West African crime ring specializing in fraud. Yes. It would be very helpful for people with experience in West African fraud. Sometimes it emanates out of Nigeria, sometimes elsewhere.

[Dan Bongino]

Is a lot of fraud cases that happen there.

[Unknown Co-host]

Yes. It would benefit you to have some expertise. That's an actual ksa. Knowledge, skills, abilities. If you just say, hey, you know, someone from that region may have darker pigmentation in their skin and melanin. So we should randomly hire more black agents for this.

[Frank Fugazi]

You're actually.

[Unknown Co-host]

The more. He's actually refuting his own case. He's refuting his own case. He doesn't even understand that because he's too stupid.

[Dan Bongino]

Always, always measure the effectiveness of what we're doing. Oh, man, they're lighting this guy up. And the chat, the chat is just on fire with this idiot.

[Unknown Co-host]

He is such a toolbox, folks. Do you get what I'm saying? Like the nuanced argument I'm trying to.

[Dan Bongino]

Make that Fugazi doesn't understand because he's an idiot?

[Unknown Co-host]

Yes. If you are surveilling the Italian mob in, in the, in the. In the fish market in New York in 80s, it would probably benefit you to find FBI agents who are maybe police officers or residents of that area and can fit in. But that's an actual knowledge, skill and ability to blend in. It's not based randomly on you being Italian.

[Dan Bongino]

Holy shit, is this guy stupid?

[Unknown Co-host]

Here's another one. Here's Deep State Andrew Weissman, a key.

[Dan Bongino]

Figure in the spying scandal on Donald.

[Unknown Co-host]

Trump, a key figure in the Bob.

[Dan Bongino]

Mueller investigation hoax where they were investigating a hoax the entire time.

[Unknown Co-host]

Here he is freaking out about Donald.

[Dan Bongino]

Trump making a decision to get rid of a lot of FBI leaders who weaponized the entity and turned it into a really, really destructive force in American law enforcement. Check this out.

[Unknown Co-host]

What are you hearing? What are we missing about this story that people should understand?

[Andrew Weissman]

I'd say the main thing in talking to you as a lawyer and the former FBI general counsel, I dealt with employment issues day in and day out at the FBI. Everything that you are hearing that front can. It's illegal, it is against the rules and the law of. It's against civil service rules. You cannot fire career FBI personnel without cause. It is simply not possible. And the idea that you have the acting Deputy Attorney General of the United States doing something that is against the rules, it's against the law, is the story.

[Unknown Co-host]

I love how this absolute tool bag.

[Dan Bongino]

This is three dipshits in a row, by the way. So I'm very sorry the dipshit meter is pegged.

[Unknown Co-host]

I love how this guy says, you can't fire these FBI people without cause, as if there isn't a litany of actual causes. You know what? Hold the Washington Times headline, let's go.

[Dan Bongino]

Through this stuff the House.

[Unknown Co-host]

Let's just go through some causes so.

[Dan Bongino]

I can learn some of you people out there, liberals in my audience.

[Unknown Co-host]

Get ready.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm going to learn you right now. Okay?

[Unknown Co-host]

Did you guys miss all of this? Andy Weissman, House Judiciary whistleblowers. The FBI has labeled dozens of investigations into parents with a threat tag created by the FBI's counterterrorism division. Andy Weissman may have met. There's cause for you. That's it. No, that's not it. I'm not done. Whip off a few more here. Heritage Foundation, FBI and DOJ twist federal law to arrest and charge a pro life activist. Oh, you missed that, Andy.

[Dan Bongino]

All right, that's it.

[Unknown Co-host]

No. Oh, no, it's not. Look.

[Dan Bongino]

Where'd you guys come up with this? Like you said them.

[Unknown Co-host]

I did.

[Dan Bongino]

Justin says your inbox.

[Unknown Co-host]

Just the news. January six shocker. Phone companies dispute FBI testimony on pipe bomb suspect.

[Dan Bongino]

Key lawmaker reveals.

[Unknown Co-host]

I thought there was no cause. All right.

[Dan Bongino]

It's definitely.

[Unknown Co-host]

He says there's one more in the inbox. How did that happen? That happened.

[Dan Bongino]

Newsweek exclusive.

[Unknown Co-host]

Donald Trump followers targeted by FBI as 2024 election years. Oh, man.

[Dan Bongino]

And Andy Weissman, I thought he says no cause for anything or something like that. What do I always tell you? Always measure the effectiveness of what you're doing by your opponent's response.

[Unknown Co-host]

If they're doing nothing in their list.

[Dan Bongino]

List folks probably what we're doing is probably meaningless. When they freak out, we're probably doing something right.

[Unknown Co-host]

Washington Times.

[Dan Bongino]

The acting director of the FBI refuses order to list FBI employees involved in J6 cases amid ouster of agency leaders.

[Unknown Co-host]

Kerry Pickett notes in the piece FBI agents are said to be in a panic and a protest by employees and former employees. Monday at the Washington field office and headquarters are in the planning stages of a panic and a protest.

[Dan Bongino]

What are you protesting? What are you worried about?

[Unknown Co-host]

If you did nothing wrong and you were following your job.

[Dan Bongino]

Your actual job, your responsibilities, yours. GS As a government employee and investigator.

[Unknown Co-host]

And what are you worried about?

[Dan Bongino]

I don't understand.

[Unknown Co-host]

If you followed the rules and regulations.

[Dan Bongino]

What are you worried about?

[Unknown Co-host]

That's right.

[Dan Bongino]

Folks, I always told you to people are policy. And I'm sorry to tell you this, but it is time for new people at the FBI. I say I'm sorry to tell you this because I wish we weren't in this position. I really do. Folks, the FBI has done a lot of great things. However, the FBI has lost their way. It has been a long time now. It's not new. The FBI has lost their way and it has filtered down into many stages of their management. The FBI has to get back to keeping America safe from its enemies, getting criminals and bad guys off the street and interstate crime. It is not a hard mission. Now, I told you at the beginning of the show and during the middle of the show and during the last few years of shows that lame duck Donald Trump is not an argument, it's a silly argument. They were always ridiculous arguments.

[Unknown Co-host]

I told you the best thing about second term Donald Trump is that he'll.

[Dan Bongino]

Never be a lame duck.

[Unknown Co-host]

Why? He has J.D.

[Dan Bongino]

Vance, Don Jr. Eric, Laura.

[Unknown Co-host]

I mean, you could have this legacy.

[Dan Bongino]

Go on forever with the Trump team.

[Unknown Co-host]

His political capital will never be zero. He's not a lame duck like Biden. What's he going to do, have Hunter Biden run?

[Dan Bongino]

Are they going to get a drug.

[Unknown Co-host]

Dealing operation run out of the White House or something like that? I mean, what was going to, what.

[Dan Bongino]

Are they going to do, find cocaine at the White House? I mean, they're already dealing with all of this nonsense.

[Unknown Co-host]

Biden didn't have a legacy.

[Dan Bongino]

His political capital was zero. This is what I'm talking about. Here's Donald Trump on this aviation disaster this weekend that happened the past week in Reagan, which Secretary Duffy is dealing with and doing a great job. He is out there. He's been on the job less than a week. He's out there knocking it out of park. It's, I got to tell you, for me, it's a little weird because I've known the secretary for a long time and we've been personal friends with the family and obviously Evita works here. But I've always known him to be a leader. I mean a genuine leader. I don't mean like when he's bullshit leaders who pretends to be one and then flakes out on you.

[Unknown Co-host]

So to watch him take charge of.

[Dan Bongino]

This thing just a week in office.

[Unknown Co-host]

It'S just been, I'm trying to Keep.

[Dan Bongino]

My emotions out of it because I got to be fair to you, too. But I'm going to tell you, it's hard because I love this guy and he's just knocking it out of the park. But getting back to Donald Trump, this is plain talk. This is trans. No, believe me, no pun intended, but plain P L A I n plain talk from Donald Trump, you better get used to it. This is transactional. Trump trying to just ask B. He's not getting. I know it's hard because this is a horrible situation. Everybody wants to get emotional. You're not going to solve the problem. This guy's transactional and this is just how he thinks. Again, you better get used to it. Check this out.

[Donald Trump]

I think that we have to make sure that this never happens again. Very, very little risk, and we're taking actions that this can't happen again. The helicopter, as you know, was out of its zone, shouldn't have been out of its own. It was at the same height as the airplane. Now, the airplane was coming down on its track. It was perfect. It was in perfect shape coming down, and something was in its way. You can't let that happen, and it won't be happening again. And this was all because of weak rules in the Biden administration. And we're just not going to let that kind of thing happen again and again. I could wait and I could, you know, give a report in two years like they always do. And sometimes it's obvious. In this case, to me, it was very obvious that I think I've been proven. Proven to be very correct. Yeah.

[Dan Bongino]

Again, I can't say it enough. You are constantly going to get your kicked in your nuts, kicked in by this guy if you do not understand. He does not get emotional. It doesn't mean he doesn't care. It doesn't mean he's not passionate about things. He obviously is. He treats things as a spreadsheet.

[Unknown Co-host]

Why did this plane crash?

[Dan Bongino]

The helicopter is at the same altitude.

[Unknown Co-host]

How the hell did that happen? I don't want this to happen again. I don't have time to get all emotional. I want to know what's going on. I could wait two years and issue a report. I choose not to. I want it fixed now. Get used to it, brothers and sisters, and especially lefties in the media, because this guy's going to continue to kick your ass if you don't understand. He does not. He is passionate, but not emotional. He is a transactional guy. Now, how many times I got to tell you this? Why were you at the same altitude. Give me an answer this week. I'm not waiting two years for report. There's planes in the sky now. Right now. Tens of thousands around the world.

[Dan Bongino]

What a show today. That was a banger. 162,000. Was that our high? 162. That's crazy.

[Unknown Co-host]

Been tearing up.
