The VERY Real Antifa (Ep. 2447)

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. Folks. I um listen man, I can only turn in the man card on getting emotional on these things so many times in a week. I I may have already turned it in, so who knows? But um It's another great day for President Trump, his administration, uh, the DOJ, and this FBI.

For those of you watching the show right now, we are obviously live with my watch. Well, like anybody can set a time and a watch, but you get the point. I think it's fairly obvious. I've got Fox News on in the background. Judge Janine Pierrot is speaking now after Cash and A. G. Bondi. And finally. Some justice for the victims of big. Thank you guys. Fox News headline.

Department of Justice announces alleged leader of the Benghazi attacks arrested. Now, this is the United States system of justice and the most amazing constitutional republic on planet Earth. And I mean it when I say it, everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That's a fact. However, folks, now do you see why I'm so passionate about defending this administration? Yeah. Yeah. Accountability matters. You're damn right.

But you can't have accountability without facts. And the facts are that a whole bunch of people Who again continue to shit all over this administration. Oh, you guys haven't done anything on Benghazi, anything on the deep state. There's already been indictments and items going on there that are still ongoing. We have to sit back and read this every day as we knew all this stuff was going on.

I'm not telling you this is the end of everything. You should stop demanding account I'm not telling you any of that. If you think I'm telling you that, this isn't the show for you. I am not saying that at all. I'm stating one fairly obvious thing as they continue to rack up W's under the leadership of this president. Just because something hasn't happened yet does not mean it's not happening. Do you know how many Posts and other things I read during our time there.

People say, man, you know, Benghazi, zero arrests. Meanwhile, Cash, me, Pam, and the judge were working on this case. We can't go out and tell you we're working on it. You don't think there are other things happening right now? I am not telling you. Demand the best. Demand the finest. The government works for you. I worked for you. Cash works for you. Pam works for you. Janine, the president.

But I said to you on social media and elsewhere, just because you don't see something happening doesn't mean it isn't happening. Thank you to the FBI team that did the F Talk, the foreign transfer of custody. As Cash and the Attorney General and the judge indicated, we've been working on this case for a really long time, folks. We started working on this case with the AG. I think a a week after Cash swore in and I I got in a couple of weeks later.

We've been working on it forever. It's not the end. It's there's a whole month there's a ton more to do. No question about it. A ton more to do. breaking up this deep state political corruption network that's still going on. This is another notch, another W for the administration, but it's not the end. I've never ever asked for anything other than a sense of honesty and candor in this debate.

If at the end of the four years, after what we've set up and what we've built, you don't have a litany of items you are happy with for accountability, then throw us all in the garbage. But just because you don't see something happening right away, folks, I promise you, does not mean it's not happening. This has been going on forever.

Telling you, I've read so many, I can't believe Benghazi. Still no accountability on that. Meanwhile, you're sitting there in a meeting about the suspect here, Bakush, in the Benghazi case. You're like, all right, okay. Never forget. Never forget. Amazing job and I do wanna thank uh EAG for staying on top of this. Judge Janine was an absolute bulldog on this case. And I'm gonna tell you something about Cash. Cash had worked in the DOD, now Department of War.

Uh cash was an upper level, high level official in the DOD. Cash had a personal interest in this case. Cash had an interest in a lot of cases as the FBI director. He's the FBI director. I'm telling you, he had an interest in this case specifically because he had followed it and knew the really, really close details of it from the start.

He never let this thing go. So great day for the guys over there uh at the Bureau and to the squads that that never let this go, the CT squads and elsewhere. It's been a long time, been over a decade. Good job.

All right. Got a lot to talk about today. I know it was a long intro. You guys I could kind of threw the show cadence off, but the breaking news happened right now. Uh so I I wanted to make sure we let them talk a little bit before we broke off. I didn't want to interrupt the press conference. So nice job. And it's the Trump administration, guys, it's another FO. It's another they're finding out. People around the world are finding out that this president is not dicking around.

And he's got people in there who aren't dicking around either. I'm gonna get this and then uh folks the Antifa threat. There's no such thing as Antifa, right? I thought it was an idea. It was an idea, like in a fable, like in a book, like in a kid's story, like in a Charlie Brown encyclopedia. It's just an idea. It's an idea like unicorn.

Like Bigfoot. Although who knows? I'm up in the air on Bigfoot. No Antifa's very real. Antifa's very they show up in ninja suits and everything like that. So the rest of a suspect in a case wearing a shirt, I'm Antifa. I thought it was no Antifa.

I'm gonna get into that. And again, I'm gonna show you some numbers and stats on what's been happening with Antifa for the Doomer class that'll insist that didn't happen either. Nothing ever happens with them until you show them it happens, and then you move on to something else they say never happened. By the way, is this uh shirt today? Nicole Wallace approved? I think this one definitely is. Gee, Justin, this yes.

That is a seven. That's a seven, man. What do I gotta do for a ten? My gosh. Come in here and some like. Anyone got a cigar? You guys are good. I did not ask these guys to do that. Very good. I like that. Oh, you do got a cigar they even brought a cigar for me. Check it out. There you are. Recall. It's right. I appreciate thatIt's a kohibo kohibo now Folks, listen, I saw a lot over the past year, found some stuff uh particularly disturbing. All this infighting going on.

We all agree we have central ideas we gotta focus on moving forward. Freedom of speech, the right to life, the Second Amendment, supporting our military and first responders. We gotta focus on these things. We got midterms coming up, attacking each other, just not gonna get it done. There's one company that's been fighting for our rights, and they've supported this program from the very beginning. That's Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile.

The comeback has been amazing, far surpassed my expectation. Over seven million views on Rumble.

Still today number one trending on Spotify as a podcast. the biggest live stream in the world, uh, during the during our hour, during the afternoon and during the whole day on Monday. We so much appreciate it. You have far surpassed my expectations. And again, I just wanna thank

Um the AG, Trey Gowdy's on Fox now talking about it. He had some role in the Benghazi committee back then. But the AG judge Janine for being an absolute bulldog and cash for never ever letting this case uh go. Sat in a lot of meetings. Benghazi guys.

Man, no one was ever gonna forget that. So folks, the Antifa threat, which of course we've been told over and over by leftist Democrats Uh the prior leadership at the FBI under Christopher Ray, hey Tiva, it's an idea. It's well, but I a lot of things are ideas. You know, the Incredible Hulk's an idea too. Uh there's a lot of ideas out there. However, when people show up in a bunch of uniforms screaming their Antifa.

under Antifa social media handles, talking about Antifa, wearing a centralized Antifa ninja-like uniform, using the same Antifa tactics in an Antifa handbook. We can call him freaking Antifa. Only a moron wouldn't. Now, you may be saying, because we demand accountability, and we should, and we should, and we should, and we could should continue. The government works for us. Period. End of story. Me too. I'm a citizen too. I didn't give up my citizenship when I went into government.

Another arrest yesterday? Hat tip Todd Blanche uh for putting this out. The Deputy Attorney General. The DOJ? This was, I believe, an ICE uh arrest. This was not an FBI arrest. Doesn't matter. It's still our government, and we really appreciate it. Bill Malogin put out this tweet. Bill Malugin's an excellent reporter over at Fox. Photo of an arrest from a guy. This is not photoshopped. Key, is this photoshopped? No, sir. It is not.

Josh is giving me the no, this is re this is a photo of uh hat tip his law enforcement sources, hat tip Bill Malogin. This is an H S I uh raid there. Guy's got a shirt on for those of you listening on Spotify and Apple. Uh thank you, Keith, for sure. It says Literally, I'm Antifa. I mean literally, you know I hate the word literally, but in this case it is literal. The shirt says it's a it's a hoodie, a black hoodie. I'm Antifa. Exclamation point.

Well guys got a bunch of face tattoos. Again, everyone's innocent till proven guilty. This is a republic. However, That's a fascinating picture considering we've been told nothing's happening on Antifa. There's no arrests on Antifa and Antifa doesn't exist by the prior administrations. Again, the Doomers and the Libs have the same story. Nothing's happening. That exists. Whatever. They all have the same story.

There'd been no Antifa arrest? That's interesting, because when I was here we arrested a whole bunch of Antifa folks. after the LA riots. I mean rested I think are up to twenty right now in the Antifa attack in Prairie Land. Prairie Land, Texas. Do you remember that one? That was uh that was a r that was a tragedy. Uh the shooting out there.

Well, here's the press release. This is the kind of stuff again that in this asymmetric warfare game I was talking about yesterday. And I always want you to keep these two words in mind. If they're why if you missed yesterday's show, please watch.

Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary does this fascinating video segment I cut in the beginning of the show about learning how to distinguish between signal and noise. Noise cloud signal. Signal is that hard direction on where you need to go and what you need to get done for that day. Signal is the message that matters, the facts, the data we need to input to produce high quality output.

If the inputs are wrong, the output's always going to be wrong. If the inputs are, hey, that never happened, nothing happened, I missed it, your output's going to be nothing happened. Fair enough. However, the inputs are all wrong. Here's the DOJ press release. This is not, by the way, again, this is and more evidence of things people are telling you are not happening that not only have happened, but continue to happen.

I wanna give you a little inside baseball on this. Here was it's the Prairie Land case. This is from November. of twenty twenty five. And these weren't the first Antifa arrests we had made either when I was over at the Bureau. I'm gonna uh give you a little inside color on this within the bounds of what I can and can't do. Obviously it was paid by the taxpayer.

Not paid to go out there and, you know, uh r uh relinquish uh my hold on the nation's secrets. That's not what I'm gonna do. But there are things I can speak about. Folks, when I initially got in there with the bureau, one of the first things Cash and I did is we looked at their threat banding system.

and how they analyze the domestic counter terror uh counterterrorism operation. The domestic terror threat picture is probably a better way to say it. One of the things we were stunned to find out, Cash and I at the time, And uh and Andrew as well is that Antifa did not have a good solid strong threat banding. I couldn't believe it. So what did we do? Um we changed it. Again, that's probably something you're not gonna read about anywhere. I'm just telling you it because it's a fact.

Uh because it is a very severe threat, uh threat at home. You've seen it. You don't have to like speculate on what and That was my plastic cigar. Now I can't use it anymore. You guys are gonna have to put it under like soapbox UV light or something. Getting back to my point. You have to prioritize your threats. We were stunned at some of the stuff they had in this threat banding that just seemed like political bullshit.

It it folks, it just did. If I showed you the euphemisms, they if I could show you these law enforcement sensitive documents, which I can't I can't go into them in detail, but some of them were s it was all like Mumbo jumbo PC crap. And we would ask some of these folks, like, hey, how did this stuff get in there? And we changed it. This is a real threat and it's being investigated as such, and the arrests are ongoing. Is it enough? No. Is it the end? Not even close. Is it happening? Yes.

Do people want you to believe nothing's happening? Yes. Are they wrong? I just showed you they're wrong. Receipts matter. Just like they were wrong about nothing happening on Benghazi. And just like they're gonna be wrong about everything else when this is all over, I'll accept your apologies in the apology box.

I promise you, it's happening. You don't have to believe it. You think this president would accept a bunch of people sitting around on their ass doing nothing? The hell you think they went in there for? T and Crets? Now, when we got in there, we were dealing with a lot of shit. A lot of PC stuff, a lot of so-called threats that seemed like PC euphemisms are not threats worthy of that particular type of banding. So we changed it. It took a while, but we got it done.

Some resisted the changes, some did not. I told you, I felt like there were two FBIs in there. There was one that actually wanted to go get bad guys, terrorists, and scumbags. And there was one that was fully into the PC Ray Comey era, targeting political opponents. The problem was figuring out who belonged to what side. Nobody came out and volunteered. Hey, I'm part of the weaponized group. We had to find them.

They're still there, some of them. That may not make you happy, but I'm not here to bullshit you. You've got to find them, investigate, and take action. It's not as easy as it sounds. Not an excuse, just an explanation. But here's what we were dealing with. Here is the prior director who Listen, I don't want to make this personal. I it's obviously Christopher Ray and I don't like each other. I saw him at a uh a a funeral for a former official in D C. We didn't say anything, but

You know, he didn't say anything, didn't give me any like side eye. Not that that matters. It's not personal. I actually if I could can I can I just take a brief s just quickly, I promise. You'll never believe who I ran into on the way out. I ran into Merrick Garland on the way out, get into the car. And like I said, I never approved of his job performance. I think that's fairly obvious.

But he came up, shook my hand, said thanks for serving, and that was it. And we moved on. But it was weird running into all these people who as a a prior opinion commentator, you're now seeing in person, and you're kind of wondering how the whole thing's gonna go. I was actually expecting him to come up and try to like backhand or something like that, but he didn't. So uh whatever that happened.

But this is what we were dealing with from the prior FBI leadership, which I'm just gonna tell you, professionally speaking, did an absolutely horrendous job. Here he is talking about Antifa up on Capitol Hill, the former FBI director, Christopher Ray. This is the mess we gotta clean up. Just that ideology.

as more of an ideology or a movement than an organization. Uh to be clear, we do have quite a number of properly predicated domestic terrorism investigations into violent anarchist extremists. any number of whom self-identify with the Antifa movement. And that's part of this broader group of domestic violent extremists that I'm talking about. But it's just one part of it. We also have the racially motivated violent extremists, the militia types and others. Do you notice what he's doing there?

Folks, you you guys are a really, really savvy audience. I mean it. I read your comments, I get your emails. I see some of your tweets, not all there's a lot of them out there, but I try to read as many as I can. You'll see I like'em. Um sometimes that's me, sometimes that's such that, but but I I try to read to because I want to see what you guys think and how you guys feel.

Most of you picked up on what he did there. At first, he wants you to believe, or he's at least pushing you in the direction. that this is not some organized group. It's an idea that people just latch onto like moss to a flame. Notice he'll never say this about ISIS, AQAP, Al-Qaeda. He won't say that about them. But he says it about Antifa. Why? Because he was clearly, I think, in my opinion, now seeing what I've seen, he is clearly afraid of the left wing at the time administration, Biden.

And Biden's team at DOJ clearly wanted to protect these guys as these street soldiers for them. So they didn't want the country to fear what was an organized group, what's a very organized group, Antifa. So first he does two things there. He tries to detach you from the idea that this is a group, just that it's an idea like whatever, Zoroastrianism or something, and that people just follow it, but they're not connected to people. Okay, that's bullshit.

That's not true. You're just making that up. And then second, in order to redirect, remember the framing we discussed on what was it, the Tuesday show? How the media will take the same set of facts. But they'll minimize the facts that they don't want you to see and they'll point to the other facts. In other words, like, hey, you know, Bank of America was robbed last week and Dan Bon Gino was in Bank of America. Both of those things can be true.

But notice how they leave you off with me being in Bank of America with the implication that I robbed a bank when the two things are totally disconnected. Just because I was in a bank that was robbed at that doesn't mean I robbed a bank.

It's what's called overloading people with information and underwhelming them with facts. The left does this all the time and so did Ray. Then he diverts attention to, hey, you know, there's a lot of these violent militias, uh, aka a bunch of right wingers. That's what he's saying. And a bunch of like c closet Ku Klux Klan member, Ku Klux Klan members out there as well.

The racial guy. Like that's what he's doing. He's trying to divert, and that's what we saw: a bunch of this politically correct, euphemistic bullshit instead of real threats. Hey, I don't care what your damn ideology is. If you're threatening to kill and murder innocent people using terror tactics in the United States, we were gonna go find you. End the story. But we weren't gonna make a political game out of it. Bullshit. The guy's got a freaking shirt on that says I'm Antifa.

With the what 20 plus now? Prairie land arrests in Texas? The arrests we made out of LA after the riots? What did you miss all that? These lefties are so full of shit, man, it is unreal. Antifa's just an idea. But they're so confident that the right-wing militias are an organized group. They may be, they may not be. It's all bullshit, folks. The guys in charge now over there are not having any of this.

And good job with that uh Antifa arrest. Again, all suspects are innocent until proven guilty. And I mean it. The freaking United States of America, man. It's a republic. Everybody's entitled to due process. And by the way, folks, it wasn't just Christopher Ray, the former FBI director. It was Joe Biden too. I want you to watch this clip from the Biden-Trump debate. And I want to this will put a big accent and a disgusting cherry on top of a sour cake.

of why Christopher Ray would not admit Antifa was an organized group. He was probably getting pressure from Biden because Biden's team was saying the same thing to protect these people. How do I know? Because he said the same thing. Receipts, receipts, receipts. The show does facts and receipts. Watch it yourself.

Somebody's got to do something about Antifa and the left, because this is not a right wing problem. This is a left wing. This is a left wing problem. Antifa's an idea, not an organization. To all the liberal, you know, critics, to 18-year-old J School majors and all the other folks out there. The show brings receipts. Why is Christopher Ray and Joe Biden, why are they both repeating the exact same tagline? The exact same bullshit tagline.

Because they didn't want the American people to believe an organized group of left-wing motivated terrorists were terrorizing them because they were useful to them in the streets, because the left has always had street soldiers. If you ever watch Dinesh D'Souze's show or you listen to Dinesh, he talks about this whole how the left has always used

Street thuggery and street force and use of violence in the streets to oppress people and to keep people down and keep people from speaking up. There's nothing new. It's not new to Biden or Obama or anyone else. That's why they were protecting them. It's no more complicated than that.

If they put out there the truth that this was an organized group of people, the American people would be like, Hey, we better go after them. RICO terror charges, whatever this is domestic territory, but there's all kinds of ways to uh prosecute people like this for federal crimes. Buy car, all kinds of things. They would have called for that, so they had to minimize it. Man, I miss doing this show.

Man, I miss doing this show. By the way, woke up to uh this morning too. Uh I I I you know, it's always like five or six l uh left wing hit pieces that come out of me. I must be I must make the money. I don't know, like it must be clickbait for them. Um You know, which is I I'm in a media business too. I dun I support freedom of the press. You can write.

I mean, it's cool. Like, you know, I don't like it, but it's it's part of the business and whatever. But I woke up to one this morning. I was getting a little workout in, nothing heavy today. My legs are really But my knees my knee is so bad. Sorry.

My knee's so bad I was doing uh just some light stuff now. I gotta have a knee replacement, which is gonna cost me a couple of days off towards the summer, folks. So I'll let you know in advance. But I definitely it's time. I can't walk around on my knee anymore. I just walk around with a massive limp now. so uh it's hard to to walk. But I'm reading this article at a New Yorker and it was for left wing stuff, it was actually surprisingly un

Not unbiased, but not as biased as I was I was actually quite impressed. I forget the guy who wrote it. It says Dan Bon Gino's returned to podcast. You know, it's the normal hit pieces in there. Man, he runs ads for survival food. Yeah, I don't want to die. And I actually use the stuff myself and the show's supported by ads, but it's actually uh pretty fair. I was actually stunned.

All right, I'm gonna take a quick break and then I wanna get to this signal noise thing again. If we don't As a a a movement, the MAGA movement, I'm not pinning this in with folks, listen, I get caught up in this too sometimes where I've got to like sit back and not be first, but be right. We have got to do better at filtering out the signal from the noise because it is tampering voter.

vo um voter excitement about the election. It's not about accountability. I said that in the beginning of the show. Demand accountability. People work for us, Republicans, Democrats, all of them. But it is about a realistic assessment of where we are and where we're going. And we need facts and inputs to do that. We can't have skewed inputs. Skewed inputs are noise. Accurate inputs are signal. We're never going to make the right output decision if we don't have proper signal.

And I'm gonna show you what I mean with something Donald Trump said the other day that the left wing media jumped on, fed to a bunch of folks who pretend to be Trump supporters and they ran with it. Trump's backing down, he's chicken it out on immigration. It's total, complete bullshit. It's not even what he said. I'll show you what I mean coming up next. Uh quick.

Folks, I uh lost a bunch of weight. If you go back and look at some of my old uh podcasts from back in the day on Rumble, you'll see I had a rounder kind of face. I was about two thirty-eight, two thirty five, two thirty eight. I didn't mind being uh that heavy because I liked being strong in the gym, but I'm 51. I'm really not that strong anymore. I'm the I hear pouting my chest like Tarzan. Um and my joints were getting beat up.

So I said to Paula one day, I gotta lose weight. So I didn't wanna take any of those injection things'cause that one, I don't like'em. So I called up Miles. Miles, like, hey, Miles, a brickhouse nutrition. He's like, we got this product, lean. That's what lean was created to do. You know, the weight loss injections work because they do two simple things, not hard.

They help control your blood sugar and they shut down your appetite. So you just eat less. It's there's no real mechanism to it. That's what these GLP, I think it stands for glucagon-like peptide. That's what lean was created to do. It replicates the benefits of weight loss injections without the needles. Lean was formulated by doctors to support healthy blood sugar and help reduce the spikes and crashes that drive nonstop snacking and craving.

But lean goes a step further. Lean helps your body turn fat into energy. So you burn it instead of storing it. No prescriptions, no needles. Paula will tell you too, she's never been more ripped.

Wit without constantly harping on this, because I don't wanna make this show I I'm really like a positive guy. I always remember what uh the what was it uh uh uh w uh Milton Friedman told uh Walter Williams, the economist, When you talk about liberty, talk about it with a smile. I love this country. I was honored to have served it multiple times.

I've been in and out of so many jobs and I've I live a nomadic lifestyle. I do things, I I finish the mission, I come back, I do other things. I just like doing stuff. I'm I've always done stuff, okay? I'm a happy guy.

And I don't want the show to sound doomery either. But I'm really getting frustrated with a bunch of people attacking the president for every single thing he says without listening to what he actually said. This is a perfect example. The liberal media jumped all over this one. to to uh to push this taco narrative. Trump always chickens out. Chickens out on what? You're totally full of shit.

So he gives an interview the other day and he's talking about Minnesota, and he's very clear about what he said. And of course, he's talking about being asked to come in. So the liberal media wants to push this narrative. Oh, Trump's pulling out of Minnesota and he's not going into enforce immigration anymore. He chickened out on Minnesota. That's not at all what he was talking about.

Again, I lived in. He's clearly talking about Title X deployments of the National Guard if you actually know Trump's speaking style and you're even interested in getting to the bottom of it. Here's the clip. I'm going to show you how some of the libs and then some of the anti-Trump folks on the right, the symbiote strikes again.

They start attacking him. Oh look, he definitely chickened out. Well I'm gonna give you the truth and I got the receipts to back it up about why he said what he said and what he's doing. First listen to the clip. Check this out. It sounds like there is a shift in immigration enforcement here, that there's gonna be a shift after Minneapolis.

What should Americans expect going forward? Well one thing I say to my people, you know, we do a good job, we don't get credit for it. I say they have to ask and they have to say please. When a city is going to be a good thing, Who has to ask and who has to say? I don't want to go and force ourselves into a city, even if their numbers are terrible.

Like for instance, I got a call from Jeff Landry, Governor of Louisiana. He said, We have a big problem. Could you go in and help us with the problem? With uh, well, let's see, certain sections. I mean, to be honest with you, certain sections of the state beyond their famous, beautiful city. Certain sections of the state. We have done, not only in New Orleans, we've done a really great job in Louisiana, but I was called. I want to be called.

Chicago, we could solve the Chicago crime. Well well on that question, where which cities are you headed to next? Uh we have five cities that we're looking at very strongly, but we want to be invited. We will sometimes call the governors. Folks, oh gosh, this is why look a clip's playing right now on uh on Fox, a similar This is why I'm here, and I'm happy to be back after serving in that first year for this amazing administration. I feel like I I need to be

The left-wing media translator again because these narratives travel around the world in this asymmetric warfare game. And they put out to you, Trump, Trump chicken out, he's leaving Minnesota. And then everybody I said to my wife this morning, I was going through the show, I was chatting with her.

And I was talking about this particular story. How once the lie rockets around the world, it's like concrete. Like if you pour concrete in the wrong spot and it's still wet, it's hard to get rid of, but not impossible. Once the concrete dries, you gotta get a jackhammer out there. And that one mistake's now gonna cost you days. This is what they're dealing with. The signal noise issue is going to be a real problem as information rockets around the globe in now record time.

Folks, this is not what Trump was talking about. He wasn't talking about backing out until the governor calls talks him back. He was talking about National Guard deployment. Please stop bullshitting people on the left. Here's the background. You know what, uh Gee, put up the CBS News headline about the Supreme Court. CBS News, this is December of last year, 2025, so not that long ago.

Supreme Court says Trump can't deploy National Guard to Chicago as legal challenge moves forward. Okay, Dan Bongino doing the Bob Tole. Is here to explain to you what's going on. So early on During my tenure there, um, I was I had gone home for a weekend. It'd been my first time home in a while. And uh I was at an event with my wife. And I get a call, and I I get a call from the uh assistant director in charge of the LA office. And he says, Hey, listen, um, LA

It looks like we're going to have some civil disturbance in LA. Do you remember this, guys, ladies in the chat early on, the the LA riots? Most of you probably do. They did basically an ERO op, emergency removal op, and immigration, illegal immigration op.

And the situation got out of control quick. Remember the rock thrower who thought he could get away and tried to flee and we got him too. Remember that? That was I remember when they called me on that. They're like, We got him. I was like, Yeah. Innocent will proven guilty. However, it's always good to get your suspect, okay? So you remember the rock drawer, he had the bike helmet on. So they all thought they were gonna get. So there was a big civil disturbance in LA. Well, needless to say.

I had thankfully, you know, I have a suite of comms so I could handle things. But they do these White House the Wizard, White House Situation Room calls. I was on the phone all day. Matter of fact, probably from eleven AM to I don't know, one in the morning, on and off on the phone. So uh

I didn't get to attend much of the event. Hey, that's your freaking job, man. I gotta tell you, it was like that's why I thought I'm gonna miss the intensity of it, that being able to make decisions and do things like that. But we're on the phone and we're handling this thing. And uh Paul eventually fell asleep in a hotel room. But the the governor at the time wasn't Eager to have the National Guard in there. Obviously it's California. So they use Title Ten.

I'm sorry for the long-winded explanation, but it's important you understand this stuff, because this is where this show, your audience is always more informed and you'll never lose a debate. Title X doesn't require the governor's asking to uh launch the National Guard. Under situations of rebellion or elsewhere, the president can nationalize the guard, federalize the guard, and take them and move them in there. So folks, that's what happened in many of these cases.

Unfortunately, that is now in legal limbo, as you saw in this CBS headline. Not the president's use of the National Guard overall, but that particular portion without the governor can always ask the National Guard to come in and the president can help. That part That part is not in question. Now do you get it? So if we can we any way we can play the beginning of that cut again. Now does it make sense?

Again, you'll be smarter than 99% of your dopey liberal friends now. This is why the president, who's smarter than these idiots, is crystal clear on this. We will use them, but you have to ask. Because for a fascist and a Nazi and a monarch.

The president is surprisingly compliant with another branch of government, the Supreme Court, that said, Hey, there's an issue with the legality of this now. If the governor doesn't ask you or request it, we ask that you not do this until there's some finality. I thought he was a fascist. Why didn't he do it anyway? These liberal media people are morons. You're smarter than them.

Play it again. Sounds like there is a shift in immigration enforcement here, that there's gonna be a shift after Minneapolis. What should Americans expect going forward? Well, one thing I say to my people, you know, we do a good job, we don't get credit for it. I say they have to ask and they have to say please. When a city is going to ask and who has to say please? Got it. Thank you.

Guys, I'm telling you, we're not going to do bullshit on the show. You are going to be smarter than your liberal friends and the freaking doomers out there. Presidents back down. No, the president's not a fascist, folks. I disagree with the Supreme Court decision on that. I would err towards the president's discretion. However, we have a system of government where the president is not, we have three branches of government.

We have a system of horizontal and vertical systems as uh checks and balances. That's the way the system works. The president's not a fascist. He's not a monarch. He respects the decision and he's telling you if you ask for help, we'll send it in.

The liberal media will never tell you this shit. It's amazing how they constantly attack what they call right-wing media, and yet we're always right. I'm telling you, man, this anti-Trump brigade and the the liberal media, they are just desperate to you bel for you to believe that this movement is cracking up. The MAGA Civil War, I see it everywhere. Matter of fact The reason I brought up before that New Yorker piece, which again it's a hit piece, obviously.

And you know, listen, I don't usually recommend their stuff. I think it's subscription, like paywall stuff, but you know, read it. Whatever. I'm not going to tell you I read stuff that's says beautiful things about me. I'm sure there are valid criticisms about me all the time.

Um but one of the things the piece says at the end that came out this morning, it says like Dan Bongino's return to podcasting, is he uh the author of the piece, it's a guy, I forget his name, but he emphasizes at the end how the media keeps talking about this MAGA civil war.

But he gives a pretty realistic for a a left wing outlet. Like, hey, that doesn't really sound like what's happening. Bonjino got three million plus views on his opening episode. And I don't know what he's talking about. Like what they're doing with this MAGA Civil War.

The media, though, outside of that guy, who I think had a candid assessment of it, wants you to believe this is happening. Because the concrete sets, it's how they drown you. Oh, there you go. John Alsop, February 6th. So the Dan Bon Ginos Podcast Homecoming. Um, you know, again, it's not the gr it's not like uh, hey, this guy's wonderful. But I d I I that's fine. You you know, freedom of the press, you're allowed to write what you want, as long as you don't you know break the law right.

The MAGA Civil War thing, folks, is bullshit. It's not real. Yes, of course there are gonna be some people upset with the president or Republicans, just like there were Democrats who were upset with Obama. That's not the question. The claim there's a civil war, you better point to a plurality of people, a majority of people. Fifty percent of people pissed off with the president of the Republican Party. That's total bullshit.

It's all made up. It's meant as noise to drown out the signal, to stop you from voting in the midterms, to make you believe the president sold you out and nothing's happening. It's bullshit. Okay, Dan, produce receipts. We always produce receipts. The evidence on the show is not disputable. Your opinion about it may be, but the evidence is the evidence. Here's a CNN poll, Harry Anton again.

Seems to be a pretty honest broker over there on CNN. He's like, hey guys, this MAGA Civil War thing is total bullshit because it ain't showing up in the actual numbers. That's all I care about is freaking numbers. Check this out.

out the idea essentially, not just that Republicans like or love Donald Trump, but believe he has been a good influence on the party. And here it is, just look at this. Say Trump's had a good effect on the GOP among Republicans. When he left after term number one, it was seventy one percent.

Just before he was running for that second term, right, it was sixty-two percent. Now it's again seventy-one percent of Republicans who say that Donald Trump has had a good effect on the Republican Party. I know that there are a lot of people out there, especially on the left. who say, Oh my God, we just want to grasp that one little thing that you know, oh, there's weakness in Donald Trump's grip on the GOP, weakness in MAGA's grip on the GOP.

It just simply put isn't there even after this whole stuff that's been going on in Minnesota, which obviously hasn't necessarily been popular with the general electorate, but among Republicans they like Donald Trump, they like MAGA, they like J D Vance and they believe that Donald Trump's had a good effect on the GOP as much as it has ever been. It's as strong as it's ever been, not with independents, not with like as you said, the general electorate, but with Republicans.

Pretty clear, they're not going anywhere. That's correct. Donald Trump, MAGA, JD Vance ain't going nowhere when it comes to G And I just saw another thing, like JD Vance's approval rating is something like seventy-eight or eighty percent. I may have been higher. Forgive me if I'm I'm not even not even I'm trying to downplay anything. You know, JD was my guy.

Rubio's approval ratings through the roof. Bobby Kennedy's approval rating through the roof. And he's not really a Republican, but he's in the cabinet. I mean the numbers matter or is this all bullshit? Oh, the mega civil war? The only people saying that are people who want a mega civil war. And I'm telling you what I said yesterday because some of them want to run

Against whoever Donald Trump endorses as the say linear heavyweight title holder of the MAGA movement. I've seen it. You're not gonna tell me it's not happening because I know it's happening. And you'll see it more. Watch over the next few years. You're gonna be like, should have listened to those first week of shows. 89,000 in the chat, getting ready to close in on 90 for another banger week of shows. I love you guys. You guys are absolutely fantastic. I mean it. I mean it.

I have you guys have I put out a uh tweet this morning. I was sitting out in the grass, bare toes, doing a little bit of grounding, catching some morning sunlight, health hacking, biohacking, and I thought, I love Jesus, man. You're amazing. They had this beautiful sunrise.

In Florida, you get those oranges, a little bit of pink in there, some gold, some light blue, some not so much dark blue, but once in a while you can maybe see a little bit of a star too as the sun's coming up. It's amazing to watch. Like only God could create a vista like that. And I was so grateful this morning. I put out this tweet on True Social and on X.

Just thanking you all for an amazing week. It was unbelievable. It was like the honor of a lifetime to serve you in the most amazing job I ever had. What a pleasure. But also to come back and be welcomed into your home as a voice. Man, I owe you guys so much. I hope you don't ever think I take you for granted, uh, because I don't. I never will, ever. And I promise my team knows.

You guys come first. I say it all the time. I owe you everything, you owe me nothing. That's why I don't even like asking you, hey, go follow my show. I I know I needed to do it, but I don't want to ask anything of you. You tuning in is more than So there are the receipts. There is no MAGA Civil War. There is an online bot civil war and a bunch of, you know, influencers who have nefarious motives.

And you know, there are some other folks in there who just don't think things are happening fast enough. That's fair. Fair. Listen to me. Fokker, I got you. Fair. You may not like the speed of things. That's okay. Justice unfortunately is very slow sometimes, sometimes fortunately, because it stops miscarriages. But I get it. I get it. I hear you. I understand that. You're not that's a valid opinion.

Be easier to move faster if there weren't some things in the way sometimes though. Be able to explain more about that going forward.

Folks, a lot of you are understandably too concerned. about our children. One of the things when we got in early, um, Cash and I prioritized was what we call V Cap. Uh violent crimes against children. I talked earlier about

threat banding, how when we got in there, the FBI, not all of it, but they had this threat banding system and this IPM system, this basically management system for personnel. And it was how they graded their employees and promoted people. And we basically threw the whole thing out. We just it it just seemed to me, cash couldn't stand it. It just seemed to be like box checking. And I remember asking.

Uh one of these individuals won the uh in one of the meetings we had, this is maybe week three, four around there. I said, you know, what are we doing to, you know, prioritize a lot of these VCAT cases? And they were doing a lot of work, no question about it. So I went out and I started touring the field offices to really

Talk to a lot of these VCAC agents. Again, it's violent crime against children. I'll just keep calling it VCAC because it's easier. VCAC agents. And one of the things they told me, I want you to listen to this, because this is gonna, it's gonna sting a little bit. I I said to one of them and I started asking this question every time. I said

This has to be the hardest thing in the world to, you know, watch these videos and these chatrooms with these people doing this in live time. I'm like, how that's gotta be the worst part of the job. And one of'em said to me, and I got this answer a lot, he said, It is hard. You get n really scarred over it and you can't unsee these I mean, call'em horrific. Horrific doesn't even there's no word for Anything you say is going to undersell how horrible it is.

But they said, A uh deputy boss, whatever they call me, at the time say Dan, it's easier. They said that's not even the hardest part. And I said, really? What is the hardest part of this job? And they said going home every day at six or seven or eight at night after a long busy day. Cause they're in a lot of these chat rooms. You know, you think you're talking to some you're not you're talking sometimes to someone else.

They're in these chat rooms when they suspect behavior that could be putting a kid in jeopardy. And he said, you know, when you got to log off and go home to your own family. He said, the saddest thing is, you know, the second you turn that phone off that there's 20 more people jumping in that phone to go after a kid. Jump it in that chat room, I should say. One of them said I can't. It's hard for me to live with it.

Folks, it was really um it was devastating. I visited a ton of field offices and I went out there and watched it up close in person. So I was getting back to what I was saying. I was in this meeting early on and I had someone trying to explain to me how, you know, there were some subsets of white collar crime and we had bigger squads there and then I said, guys White collar crime's important and we're gonna continue to focus on that. However, we gotta protect these kids.

So we started operation restoring just Which was a central big what I used to call water balloon effect. I read this story in the newspaper one day, um, about in the Wall Street Journal about how illegal traffickers at the border do this water balloon thing. You know when you squeeze a water balloon, you get the mass of the water goes here and then there.

Well, a lot of these traffickers, what they do is they sense a border buildup by uh border patrol in a certain sector, and they just squeeze the water balloon and send all the illegals somewhere else.

So I was reading it. I said, you know, we can do that too. It's not complicated. Like we can water balloon and squeeze our personnel and move them around too. So there are offices that did VCAC really well, like our Dallas field office. They just did an amazing job. Miami does a great job, did not to sell anyone short. Dallas set the standard, right?

So what we started doing is taking best practices and we poured them in and said, I want these shithead demons off the street. We are going to do a targeted national effort called restoring justice. And uh I only bring it up because Cash put out a tweet yesterday, uh hat tip to him. In twenty twenty-five the FBI and its partners delivered a record year bringing crimes against children to justice.

Identified and located over 6,000 missing kids, took millions of pedophile accounts off the dark web, dismantled those 764 networks, arrested hundreds of child predators and more. With President Trump's leadership and A. G. Bondi and Todd Blanche, the dag we're not letting up. Cash also put out this uh this video below. It's really short. You can see it playing here, but this is part of what accountability and transparency on this matter looks like.

They delivered a record year. The work isn't even close to done, I told you. When these guys go home at, you know, eight o'clock, seven o'clock at night after long days, there's still these people out there. But We pushed really hard on this. Relentless justice, restoring justice, and restoring justice. 730 arrests, over 450 victims identified.

Those were ops we really, really pushed hard. Human trafficker arrests up, 764 arrests were up almost 500%. And those that label themselves 764, we are producing record numbers of arrests under that umbrella organization. When you think you're safe in your dark web,

I promise, you are absolutely not safe. You have no idea what we can do. We have found and identified 6,000 missing kids. That's up 22%. We have arrested 1,700 child predators. The credit ghosts, the interagency, and the men and women in the And the FBI working together with DOJ to bring these perpetrators to justice. So I promise you, it took about six months.

or so to get the agency reoriented towards even a greater output in that direction. But now you're seeing some of the results now. And I think going forward for the next three years, they're in a really good spot on a lot of these Again, horrific. And that it's not even the I can't even imagine a word to describe it image. I told you I would tell everyone, no videos. I can't. I can't watch it. I I I can't.

I seen enough of it during my twelve years with the Secret Service and elsewhere and with the police department, seeing these child abuse cases. I d I just I get the point. I just want to see action. So good job on that. But the work isn't done. The work isn't done, and nobody thinks it's done. The groundwork has been laid going forward. And I remember what I said in that interview on Fox with Maria Bartaromo.

The tools right now, if you're one of these demons online targeting a kid, I'm telling you, man, it's only a matter of time. What I say, that knock on the door is not going to be Amazon. And thank you to the TFOs and police departments, too, task force officers who also help out in this stuff.

All right, I'm gonna take a quick break and I wanna show you some more receipts that after now having some pretty unique experiences over the past year working with the president directly, not just being a friend of his, how he's a no bullshit guy, and how I wanna be like kind of for you guys

Like the Trump whisperer to explain I told you The best way, if you are a member of Trump's team, if you're doing a good job to absolutely ensure job security, is to have some left-wing media hack call for you to be fired because they don't like what you're doing. They did it with Christine Home. Christine, the border is down to like zero illegal migrants.

Entering into the country. Christy Gnome again should they they should be carving up Round Rush more again. The president told her get it done, get it done, she got it done. And of course the left-wing media wants her gun. Christy Gnome should be fired. I'll show you the piece coming up in a second. I promise you, I'm right about this stuff. He ain't gonna listen to you morons in the media. You're not gonna tell him who to fire and who not to fire. He laughs at you. Laughs at you every day.

Last break and we'll Nice. Man, the audience you guys just continue. Bigger audience than yesterday. Hey hi. Seen a lot of stuff on the inside, a lot of wasteful government spending and things like that. Government programs are really not that efficient. Thankfully we had the Doge come in and take a look at stuff. They're a lot more broken than you know. One of the most broken systems out there, we've been talking about the show for a while is Medicare.

Most people think they're getting accurate information. Some Medicare agents might push Medicare Advantage plans because that's where the commissions are, not because they're actually best for you. That's why I'm telling you about chapter. Chapter. Chapter doesn't work for big insurance and they don't take marching orders from Washington. They're independent and they can walk you through every option. Original Medicare.

Supplements, advantage, part D. They tell you exactly what you gain and what you give up and what the costs really are. One woman, Jill, said her chapter advisor showed her options that she that she didn't even see on Medicare's own website. And that sound like a broken system to you? Check out chapter. If you want more clarity, here's what to do. Go to your phone, dial pound 250, pound 250 on your phone and say Medicare help.

The average senior who connects with chapter saves about$1,100 a year just by getting honest advice. That's a big savings. So if you're on Medicare or getting close, don't guess. Thou pound$250 and say Medicare helps. That's pound 250 and say Medicare help. Thanks, chapter. And our last sponsor today, Ethos. Ethos.

When you bring a child into the world, your perspective changes overnight. Brought to the world. Suddenly you're thinking years ahead about children, school, the milestones you can't wait to see, weddings, graduations. And for me, part of loving my family meant thinking about their future. Sometimes even in uncomfortable ways. Life insurance is not a fun topic, but you know I believe in being prepared. So you gotta think about it. And I'm glad I found out about ethos.

I carry a lot of responsibility in my household. If something happened to me, there were real consequences. The mortgage payments, tuition, everyday bills that just don't disappear. Running the business, we're gonna pay the guys. Thinking about that used to feel overwhelming, but taking steps to protect my family financially changed that. That's why I got life insurance.

Okay, back to the show with receipts because receipts matter. You want bullshit? Watch the liberal media. You want receipts? We bring them. Liberal media, we gotta fire Christy Nome. She's out. You better f no, he's not the president doesn't give a shit about what you think. I had this conversation. I rarely talk to reporters, but one of them called the other day who I had known from

a prior race. And we just had signed a just a general conversation on background about some things. And I brought this up and she was like, Hey, you're right. Like he really doesn't give a shit what we think. He doesn't. He doesn't care. Here you go. Political. Christine Ohm, his job is safe, says President Trump. Why would it not be safe? Why would her job not be safe? Good point. He's like, watch the media spin this and making it like an ambiguous headline. Trump says Gnome's job is safe.

For the next 10 seconds, they're like add some little. They're so full of shit all the time. They're not, he's not listening to you. He doesn't care what you think. He is the Lion King out there. He's going to make his own decisions about when to let people go and when to not. A lot of lessons were learned from 45 into 47. The media's not going to dictate who they hire or fire. But like I said to you before, they need this division, this fake MAGA civil war.

Yeah, there are some people who have an agenda that are upset. Some people who are legitimately upset. I said that before they just want things to move faster move faster. Fair, fair enough. I'm not talking about you. I mean it. I'm not talking about you. You think I'm talking about you, but I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about people who have an agenda. They're not genuine about what they're saying. They need this MAGA civil war to tamp down enthusiasm.

Because they are terrified that President Trump, if he gets the Save Act, is going to have a first year plus a few months. If he gets a Save Act passed, that's going to basically secure our elections. They are terrified that given his record of success and a secure election system, the left wingers in the media are terrified they may never win an election again.

That's why you're seeing the hysteria. Now, this is almost an exclusively left-winger thing. The anti-maga crowd kind of staying away from this stuff. I think everybody's pretty much aligned with the Save Act. Even a lot of Democrats are alive with the aligned with the Save Act. Which'll you know, voter integrity'll go through the roof, election integrity through the roof. We get this passed.

So of course, asking voters to actually present an ID and codifying it into law is definitely racist, guys, because Chuck Schumer said so. Chuck Schumer wants you to believe, again, as you listen to this clip, this is Jim Crow. This is like a poll tax, man. Because why? Ask them why. You'll hear him say it here, where he kind of hints He implicitly says that somehow black and Hispanic people and minorities, you'll hear him imply this.

are somehow incapable of figuring out how to get an ID. I cannot believe how other people in the left wing media do not call them out. You object to the Save Act, fine. Stop telling us black and Hispanic people can't figure out how to get IDs, you racist buffoons. Check this out. Uh it's Jim Crow two point oh. And I called it Jim Crow two point oh and the right wing went nuts.

all over the internet. That's because they know it's true. What they're trying to do here is the same thing that was done in the South for decades to prevent people of color from voting. Uh for instance, if you can't if you change your you're a woman who got married and change your last name, you won't be able to show ID and you'll be discriminated against. If you can't find a birth certificate or a proper ID.

You'll be discriminated against. This is vicious and nasty. And I said to our Republican colleagues, it will not pass the Senate. You will not get a single Democratic vote in the Senate. We're not reviving Jim Crow all over the country. And when the American people hear what exactly it is doing and what its intent is doing, they're gonna be against it as well.

How many times are we gonna go down this road with these hacks and goons in the media and on the Democrat side? How is it racist to ask people to produce an ID? That's what he's implying, correct? using a Jim Crow analogy. So white people Have no problem getting an ID, finding a birth certificate, a driver's license, a non-driver's license ID.

White people have no problem doing that, but black people can't figure it out. I'm folks, I'm just trying to read this. I'm sorry, like help me out here in the chat. Like am I reading this wrong? If there is another way to explain this, can you please let me know? What please explain to me how it is that Chuck Schumer gets away with this, that this is Jim Crow 2.0, that black people cannot figure out how to get an ID. I don't understand how this isn't racist.

I promise you, the black men and women I know can figure out how to get an ID. It's not hard. But it's the second part of that that's a new angle. Now, ladies and gentlemen, they're on the misogynistic women can't figure it out either. Listen, our business manager here, Jasmine,'s very smart. She happens to be a woman. Paula's the president of Bon Gino Inc.

She's figured the company out pretty good. We're doing okay over here. Launch has been great. I'm pretty sure I work with some pretty intelligent, smart women. I know. I don't hey Jasmine, are you married? Yes, she is. Did you change your name? Was it hard? Okay. Gee, you're married, right? Her name is Kim, lovely lady. Did Kim have a difficult time? She did not. Justin is not married, so we're gonna have to leave him out of this one.

Josh is not married either. I'm married. Josh, you're not married, right? But Josh, just to be clear, come on out a second. Come on out. Are now I I I know Josh, I don't want to dig too much into your personal life, but does this keep you up at night that when one day you find your life partner in the future to go forward, that they are not gonna be able to figure out how to change their name?

Absolutely not. Of course it doesn't. Josh is like, I don't really worry about this shit because I'm not going to date a stupid person and of course they're gonna figure out how to change your name. Do you realize how dumb this is? Thank you, Josh. You provided the Justin Josh commentary for the unmarried crowd in the crew. Nobody's had a hard time with this like ever in human history.

They're not done with this. Ladies, why do you accept this? Uh yeah, we can't figure out how to change everything. Really? Is this a new thing? By the way, there's provisional balloting and everything, even if there was a hiccup. Here's Jamie Raskin, another complete clown. Congressman out of what is he out of Maryland? Here's Jamie Raskin with the same talking point. Uh, you women

You get married out there, you're really gonna have a really hard time changing your name. I mean it's not it's it's not like that's ever happened before. This is gonna be the first time a woman's changed their name after getting married. They're not gonna know what to do. It's not like hey Gee, it's not like they can actually so Justin, when you get married, right, and you marry, say, Mrs. Justin.

And Mrs. Justin wants to figure out how to change her name. Even though Mrs. Justin can just put it in like chat GPT in ten seconds, all it's gotta do is go, hey Kim, how'd you do it? I'm on the DMV and change my name with a marriage certificate. Wow. Holy shit, that sounds so crazy. How did you do that? Here's Jamie Raskin again with women are too dumb to figure out how to change their name on an ID. This is real. This is their talking point. Check this out. What's wrong with the Save Act?

What's wrong with it is that it might violate the nineteenth amendment which which gives women the right to vote because you've got to show that all of your different ideas match. So if you're a woman who's gotten married and you've changed your name to your husband's name, uh but

your so now your current name is different from your name at birth. Now you've got to go ahead and document that. You need an affidavit explaining why and why would we go to all of these uh the troubles in order to keep people from voting when none of the states that are actually running the elections are telling us that there's any problem.

I I I I cannot believe they settled on this as a talking point. What kind of moron focused group said this was a good idea? Do you have that, Ami Horowitz? I love this guy. Did you do you still have that from years ago when we All right. Well, we'll try to find it. Ami Horowicz, who does a lot of men on the street interviews, he went out and do you guys remember this? The this is like for definitely damn Bon Gino P1s in a Bon Gino army. He went out on the street, was it New York City?

New York City and he was asking a bunch of black voters, like, hey, do you know where the DMV is? They're like, Yeah, man, of course. This is like how normal, functioning black American citizens who are very smart. And just like everybody else know where the DMV and the computer is, that's how they respond to this Democrat stupidity. Man, you women and black people can't figure out how to get votes.

You got it? All right, this is great. Thank you, but this is not part of the original show, but you gotta see this is classic. This is how this is the difference between Democrats and normal people in the street. Check this out. Now I'm here in East Harlem to ask black people their thoughts on what you just heard. Do you have ID? Was your idea off? Yes, I have state ideas. Do you carry ID? Yes I do. Do you know anybody who any black person doesn't carry ID? No.

Everyone that I know has an ID. Why would they think we don't have ID? நான்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்ற்

Because I have my ID and my friends have their ID. So like we know what we need to carry around. Yeah, everybody that I know have ID. Like that's one of the things you need to walk around with New York with. Do you know any black adult who does not have ID? No, I ain't done.

Is it a weird thing to even say that? Yes it is. What is this? Some su some type of uh trick candy canvas. I know, right? That's the only thing I brought with me. Those are legit those are legit IDs. I heard a lot also that uh black people

Can't figure out how to get to the DMV. Ready? Is that slight that what's that saying to you? I know it's at 125th Street. Do you know where the ID the the DMV is, Ryan you? It's on one hundred and twenty fifth street and third Avenue I believe. You know how to get there? Yeah. Would you have a problem getting there?

I really where do they find these Democrat focus groups? Insane asylums? Hey, I've got a good idea. We're gonna pitch the American people. Women are too dumb to change their name and black people can't find the DMV. And people go for it. The media never asks a critical question about this. I showed you those two interviews with Schumer and then Raskin.

And forgive me, I didn't play the whole thing. I shouldn't talk out after maybe they did. I didn't see it in the clip. If they did, send it over and I'll put that. Did the media person go, are you suggesting black people can't figure out how to get an ID and women don't know how to change their name? Oh my gosh. This is what passes for common sense on the other side of the political aisle.

Folks, we got a midterm coming up. This Save Act is essential. Call your senators, call your representatives too. Make sure that this thing gets through. It is probably the single most important piece of legislation out of the big, uh, big beautiful bill, the BBB package. That we can get through in what's going to be the first two years before the midterms of this Trump administration. You don't have secure elections. You've got nothing. You know what? Skip my tweet, uh I'll get to the ten ten

This uh guy uh I follow on on Twitter, uh Lu uh Lou Bizzada. He's always he always uh I I follow a lot of folks on Twitter who I just really appreciate their support. You don't have to be some like big huge Fox News star. I just like chatting with other folks and normal people into Chicago Ray, Gunther and Hunter Eagleman. Like just good guys, man. They're just in it for the cause and, you know, no bullshit folk. uh you know uh my man Brendan Dilly, Miguel Fournia, like just good guys.

So it's good that you know you're not you don't want to fall in love with this inner circle of people who all have TV shows. They're nice guys too, but you know, I like to talk to uh other folks. So someone threw this up, uh it was Lou, I'll just put it up at the 1010 and 10 months.

I already referenced it. But he said, hey, Dan, you got to remind people about the 10, 10, and 10 before the midterms. We do. Call 10 people, email 10 people, and make 10 social media posts before the midterm, at least. on how to vote, where to vote, who you support, whatever it may be. But we've got to do it. We've got to take action. We've got to take back the country. Again, this fight is never going to stop in the middle.

But they are freaked out over the Save Act. And they are also freaked out about the Fulton County, Georgia case that the FBI has been involved in for a long time. Again, it's not new. It's because you don't see things happening instantaneously in a slow, arduous process of justice. We are not the DOW. Department of War, which can give an order and see it executed right away.

The FBI doesn't give orders. They conduct investigations. They deliver an investigative packet to a magistrate or a grand jury that issues a search warrant, an arrest warrant, or a true bill indictment. Then that had to I that arrest has to be planned. And then it's planned, and then post arrest interviews are made, and then other suspects are gathered.

The process is slow and arduous, sometimes painfully so. That's why I understand people who get frustrated. I understand that. It's fair. That's absolutely fair. You guys are home team. I get it. But As I used to tell the guys all the time when we were putting together an op, fast is smooth, smooth is fast in the justice system. The Democrats are freaking out about the case in Fulton County, Georgia, with the FBI search warrant the other day. And this is a reminder to the liberal media folks.

Because you're going to see this uh Fulton County, Georgia official in a media clip, again, melting down over this case. This was an investigative FBI packet handed off to a judge. I thought the left loved the judicial system. A judge said, I've reviewed this. I agree there is probable cause in this packet, and we are going to allow the search warrant. That's how it works. You have a complaint about the case, don't direct it to the FBI, direct it to the judge.

Watch this. They're freaked out because they don't want you to see some of the stuff that's in there. Check this out. I want to bring in Fulton County Commissioner Mo Ivory right now. She's a lawyer and a professor at the Georgia State College, uh Georgia State University College of Law. Commissioner Ivory, thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for all your important work.

Intelligence officials, as you just as you know, and election law experts tell CNN, the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. had no legal authority over an FBI search in your county. But she argues she has, quote, broad statutory authority to analyze intelligence when it comes to elections. Why do you believe the DNI was in Fulton County, Georgia during this raid? You know, for uh intimidation. Uh the same reason that President Trump has his hands in

Every single thing that there is without any sort of restrictions on parameters. They don't believe in separation of powers. They don't believe in following the law or the constitution as we're seeing. Of course, she has no evidence to back any of those claims up. How about you just let the process play out? This is what I cannot figure out with the left-wing media and all of these officials losing their minds over.

If there's no there there and you think the warrant was signed off by a judge because like somebody lied about or something, which would be a violation of the law, then let the process play out and you'll be vindicated, correct? What are you so worried about? Stay tuned. A lot of things are happening. A lot of good things are happening at the same time. Sometimes some noise gets in the way. But learn to discriminate noise and signal, and we could have a pretty good midterm.

Get overwhelmed by the noise, and there's a good possibility. Cause you know one of the things I never want to hear about it, though, red wave or folks that forget that crap The polling numbers are okay, but not great right now. But there is potential for a disaster if Republican enthusiasm falls off a cliff.

We don't need to be like fake phony cheerleaders for every little thing. Go everybody all the time. I'm not telling you that. I've been clear on that. But we have to have an honest assessment of where we are, and things are happening, a lot of things. I went over that whole economic segment the other day. Factory output is up. Yesterday, like, oh, the jobs report is so uh doom and gloom. Really?

There's a piece at the end of the jobs report, if you actually read it, that more people are working now in America than we've had in years. Like, what are you talking about? Was it the best jobs report ever? No. Was it the worst jobs report ever? No. Was it pretty good? Yeah, it was pretty good.

Speaking of jobs and the economy, I told you yesterday I'm a big fan of Scott Besant, Bessent, the Treasury Secretary. So I occasionally I'm gonna take a Mid-show comedy relief break, where we play a Besson clip, because he gives zero shits about these idiots. He's up on Capitol Hill yesterday arguing with Senator Elizabeth Warren. And this comeback.

Is you I want you to pay close attention. Of course Elizabeth Warren pretends to know something about economics. She has no idea. Besson's very smart in this space, brilliant guy on economics, how it works, uh You know, price c market price clearing, uh, supply demand, all the big tenets, you know, price elasticity. He knows all about this. A very, very bright guy.

So Besson's up there sparring verbally with Elizabeth Warren. And I want you to listen to the beginning of this. He has zero respect, which he shouldn't, for Elizabeth Warren, who's lied about pow wow chow and everything else.

And he says in the beginning, this point may be a little nuanced for you. In other words, uh Liz, I think this is a little over your head, but I'll explain it anyway. And then watch him refer to the President Trump is referring to is the media saying that the affordability crisis was generated by this administration when it was you and President Biden who destroyed who destroyed the the buying power of the American people.

So there is an affordability crisis and you were front and center in it. So let me make sure that I understand. Donald Trump is not saying that affordability, what's happening to families right now is a hoax. Uh he he is saying that trying to lay the blame at this administration rather than the Biden Warren economy is a hoax.

Rather than the Biden Warren economy. In other words, you own this too, Senator, with your big government communism. It's maybe a little nuanced for you, Liz. I'm not sure you get this. You know how to do pow wow chow. I'm not sure you understand economics and cash flows. Trade deficits. Again, price elasticities. Marginal propensities to save. I'm not sure you get all that. There's just a few things. She's go she's looking at up now on on ChatGPT.

You cannot trust these commies. They are communists. They love communists. One of'em is a devout socialist, this guy up in New York. Now, I promise not to make a s this show because I I get tired of this too. Like the AOC Mandami show, all that'cause it gets annoying. But Mandami is the new face of the Democrat Party. They love this guy for the same reason they love AOC. Not be and Elizabeth Warren. Not because they actually know anything, but because they look like they know stuff.

This guy, Mam Dami, doesn't know shit. He's never let anything. Uh, Ghee Top put up that clip yesterday. The guy's never had a real job. He worked for three years at some company with his mom and he was like a rapper or something. This guy's had no experience. Now I I love the left wing they wrote this hit piece about about me, not not to kinda turn it my direction here, but When I took the deputy director job

I'd been a political candidate, a Republican nominee, uh twelve year Secret Service agent, an NYPD police officer, a consultant, a business owner, an investor. You may not like it, but you saying like I didn't have requisite experience is f you're full of shit. But notice about Mandani. Like, no, no, this guy definitely has experience. He was like a rapper or something. You see how these people play these games and the left eats it up? Suck it right up, man.

This is what happens when you appoint a guy who was a rapper and uh worked with his mom or something as the mayor of the most important city on the globe. A city, by the way, I grew up in in Queens. They can't even figure out How to like pick up garbage and stuff? Isn't that the basic? There's Key, last time I checked, there's an actual department in New York.

Can you Justin, can you post website? I just wanna be sure this exists. I may be wrong. It's called the New York City Department of Sanitation. I when we grew up they had green uniforms and white trucks. I don't know what the uniform colors is, but I'm pretty sure that's a thing.

They have a New York City Department of Sanitation. I think the police commissioner right now, Jessica Tish, who we worked with on a bunch of offices beer, I think she used to have that at some point. She had like the rat patrol or something like that. So I'm pretty sure that's a thing. So figuring out how to pick up garbage as a big city mayor.

shouldn't even be a thing. It should have just happened. But of course, because Mamdami, who was like a rapper or something, said sure. There it is. There's an actual website. Thank you. Look at that. Keep sidewalks clear, snow and ice. Uh, I guess under Mamdami, that's not really happening. Here is a video by a guy walking around New York, hat tip to this gentleman, who's looking at these.

Mounds of trash that look like uh walls surrounding like uh a Sparta or something like that. The these big huge walls of trash. And he's like, Are you guys ever gonna pick the freaking garbage up? Check this out. I did a video about mom Donnie not cleaning up the trash in New York and people were like, Oh, it's because of city snow, because of uh ice.

Do you see this? This is because of nothing. Look, this is the great wall of New York City trash. This is now a a national landmark, actually. You can't even see that there is a road on the opposite side of this. I'm about six feet tall. Look at this. This is my height. At the very least, I'll give it to Mom Donnie. They separated the uh recycles and the wall of trash. So you have a nice wall of recycles here and a beautiful wall of trash here. This is insane.

Hat tip Mikey Greenblatt via Instagram. I don't I don't know or give a shit about this guy's politics at all. He's just showing you the truth. Here is a mound of trash in the one of the greatest cities on earth that the rapper mayor, who's never had a real job, can't figure out how to pick up, despite the fact that he has an actual department of sanitation that actually does sanitation and garb and picks up garbage.

Here's another one. They do an on the street, man on the street interview, just like you saw with the uh Ami Horowitz, but this is a different one. They grab this guy off the street. They're talking about how uh they want to increase taxes on businesses in New York and elsewhere. But, ladies and gentlemen, When these people tell you who they are, these commie leftists, listen to them. They're not kidding.

I want you to listen to this guy's response when this uh man on the street interviewer asks a basic question like, hey, if we tax the hell out of these citizens even more than we are now in LA, Chicago, and New York. Aren't they just going to get up and leave and take their businesses with them and the jobs? Listen very closely to the answer. When they tell you who they are, believe them.

Check this out. Say to this folks who say, Well, if you tax millionaires they're gonna leave the city and the top one percent pays forty percent of the taxes in the city, so what happens if they leave? What's your response? Well that's what I would say. It's like we should take their business.

And we run it like for our like the city ourselves. So if they take their business to Florida, you feel like you can make it keep it here? I mean they they can't leave the building. They can't like just k bring their whole entire workforce to Florida, right? They can't bring all of like the resources that they have to like to like build the business here to Florida, right? That take that's a whole thing. And that's where we would even say like we're building a real movement, right?

to like stop that. We'd also like make it illegal for them to like actually like leave, right? We would fine like fine them to hell if they're gonna try to like abandon their property here, right?'Cause clearly people do need to work, right? People do need to like, you know, make a living. So Big hat tip to the Nate Friedman show. Great clip. Fantastic question. Ladies and gentlemen. They remember that uh Dennis Green thing? They are who we thought they were. They are who you think they are.

These are people who believe your property is theirs. You want property, get an effing job and go buy we don't owe you shit. I can't say this enough. The world owes you nothing. The world owes you absolutely nothing. Nothing. Listen, I've been very candid and self-critical myself. I told you on the first show. That I have no regrets at all. None, because even the mistakes that were made helped me become a better person. No regrets. I wouldn't change anything.

That doesn't mean there were no mistakes. And I said, one of the things, you know, I, you know, I wish I would have won done different is I really wish on Fox and Friends I wouldn't have answered that question about being away from my family. I should have just shut up about it. It's fair criticism. No one cares. You can't say like no one cares, but then like, oh, you know what? You should care about me. No, no one cares. Took a job, get it done. Fair. Fair. Period. End the story.

But you notice how the left doesn't live by any of that. They feel like the world owes them something. These people who created these businesses don't owe you shit. They owe you nothing. You want to go buy stuff and live a great life and have a nice house and a white picket fence and ten dogs or whatever, earn it. The world owes you nothing.

It is a beautiful place. I described the sunrise this morning. Thank you, Jesus, for that beautiful view. It's full of beautiful things. Volleyball games with your kids, date nights with your wife or your significant other. A good glass of wine, but the world is tough too. It's a rough and tumble place. If you can't handle it, then shut up. And that lesson goes for me and everyone else too.

We're gonna tax you and we're gonna steal your bread. You ain't stealing shit. They're gonna get out of there before. How do I know that? Because they're doing it now in LA. LA's looking at passing a billionaires tax. Oh, good, we should get those billionaires. Well, you already get the billionaires. The top one percent of taxpayers pays over twenty percent of the tax load. Well over twenty percent. In California, it's even more. They're already paying a ton of taxes.

So California's like, well, we should just steal their stuff and do a wealth tax. You know what a wealth tax is? Keep this up for a second on the split screen. A wealth tax is different. A wealth tax is not a tax necessarily on income. It's a tax on things you own, but necessarily, but not necessarily of sold. Well, what's the problem with that?

Well, there's a big problem with that. If you own Bitcoin, which I think yesterday was down at sixty thousand something, and you bought Bitcoin at, say, a hundred, folks, you've lost by simple math forty thousand dollars.

On paper, not you haven't sold it yet. Everybody can I'm sorry, but maybe some liberals in the chat who may have a hard time with this. I buy Bitcoin at 100,000, it's down to 60, it might come back, it might make a well past 100. Right now on paper, I'm down forty thousand dollars. What they want to do in California is tax you on that. How can you tax me on sixty thousand dollars? I haven't made any money. Matter of fact, I lost$40,000. They don't give a shit.

So what's happening? Even Google's co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brent. I wouldn't call them hardcore conservatives. I don't know them, but it looks like they're trying to get out too. Recently converted out of the state. So what's next for them liberals? What's always next for them? Going back to beginning of the show with Antifa. Why do they need their shock troops on the street? Because the liberals, the collectivists, the Mamdamis, the socialist types.

They always default to force in the end. Always. We'll force you to stay. We'll steal your stuff. That's the difference between us and them. Always been the difference between us and them. And they're all fakes and phonies too. I'll go out of order, but Gee, put up the New York Post thing about Bernie Sanders. They're all fakes and phonies too.

These from each according to their abilities to each according to their means, we should all live collectively the same, equal, ever everybody should be equal. They're not concerned about equality for them. Mam Dani's living a damn good life. So is AOC. So is that thing which you what did you see? Rashida Talib is worth all this uh money or w what was Ani Ariana Presley Ariana Presley?

Are worth all this money. They won't make this money when they get up to Capitol. Nancy Pelosi. Here's Bernie Sanders spent over five hundred fifty thousand in twenty twenty five campaign funds on private flights, filing show. Sorry, I'm not sure it was Talib I should be accurate. It was one of'em over there. So ice are out of it.

They don't live like you do. Elizabeth Warren's probably worth a pretty little fortune. I don't fault you that. I'm a capitalist. I love making money. Making money's great. You build a business, you employ people. But don't be a fraud about it. This is that private jet is great. You don't have to go through TSA. But don't say millionaire is a billionaire attacking all these people while you're flying around on private jets.

What about the uh environment? I thought it spews carbon dioxide all over the atmosphere. It doesn't seem to matter to you. You're full of shit. At least we're not frauds. We make money and build businesses to hire Gee and Josh and Andy and Justin and Jasmine and to build a business for Haley and Vince to for their shows to prosper.

Listen, this is show. It's not the most important thing in the world. You know, I'm not the president. I'm not the secretary of war. I'm not an army combatant on a battlefield. But I like what I do. I enjoy what I do. I was proud to be away for the year. It was always my goal. But I'm proud to be back. I enjoy building this business. My local community here matters.

We built this building, poured a lot of money into it, hired a construction company. It's not the most important thing ever, but it's important to me. And we brought a lot of money into the community, and I'm proud of that. At least we're not freaking phonies. Guys are all frauds, they're all full of crap.

Okay, I want to switch gears a little bit. Um I haven't talked about this much because You know, Gee said something to me yesterday. We were chatting on the phone about something totally different. But this show was always meant to be semi-news of the day, but more stuff.

We hope you care about it. And some of that's gonna be news of the day. And as you've seen, some of it's stuff I just care about myself that I think really matters. Like the Save Act, which may not be in the news today, but we think it's really important. So that's how the show has always been and how it's gonna continue going forward.

But one of the real tragic stories that's been dominating the news is uh news broadcaster Savannah Guthrie, I think she's from NBC. Um her mom, you you can't miss the story, is pierced have been kidnapped. It's a horrible story. Horrible. I haven't covered much of it early on because again, I wanted to take it all in. And now that I'm outside. I wanted to digest the new kind of FBI role in it because we were asked to come in later.

And give you a better perspective than just kind of spouting off and saying, Hey, there was a kidnapping and I don't have a lot to say about it right now. Fair? Like I don't wanna be first ever. But I do wanna spend a couple minutes on the story and give you kind of a different perspective. But first I just wanna play a quick Soundbite here. This is the Pima County Sheriff talking about one of the critical components of the case.

that they did now finally get the DNA results back from the blood at the scene. And it I guess it seemed fairly obvious from the start, but it does match up with uh Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mom. Check some of that back the ri the results were minimal. I think you all know the the the um uh blood on the porch that was one we did it it it came back to Nancy.

Um that's that's what we know. Uh but there's still more items that have been submitted. We just haven't got them back yet. This is malfeasance and not misfeasance. That seems crystal clear. But folks, early on in the case, this this is still a local case in terms of jurisdiction. Now, as I said to you,'cause there's a lot of confusion about this, um, and I learned a lot over the past year about it. I mean it's hard not to being in that position. But the FBI as a limited

set of circumstances by which we can get involved. Whatever you may see on Netflix where like some dude with glasses shows up aviators and flashes an FBI FBI, like we're here to take over. I g I I'll give you an example. Um I was not there obviously when the Boston bombing happened. I was a commentator at Tommy. I had just left the Secret Service. But there's a really good uh movie about the Boston bombing. I had watched it on uh on one of these movie channels. Uh

What's it called? Uh Patriot Day or something? The Mark Wahlberg's in it. It's a great m I really enjoyed it. Great movie. Obviously there's a little bit of, you know, theatrical license taken with it, but there's one scene where it's very dramatic and like it's terrorism. Like, well FBI's taking over. Folks, I'm telling you haven't lived to it for a year on gosh, I don't know, twenty or thirty of these tragedies, you know.

Courtaline, the Minnesota shootings, the Minnesota school shooting, the Detroit incident outside of Detroit. the Israel diplomats who were shot. That's not the way any of this works. Okay? You don't walk we don't walk in there like gangbug. The feds are on the scene. Everybody get out of here. It's not that's that's movie bullshit. That's not the way it works.

So what happened here is The FBI was asked to come in and they're not going to say no. And the president is, of course, is very interested in getting this case solved because this woman is an American citizen who had a what looks to be a really horrific crime committed against her and her family. Nobody cares about the politics of the situation. That's not the way any of this works. So the FBI came in yesterday and this is um SAC special agent in charge.

I learned that they call him SACs. We call them sacks in the Secret Service. They call them SACs. They don't like being called sacks. But here's uh Heath Jenke, a guy I know uh very well. Here he is yesterday talking about the FBI making an arrest. On some disgusting pig who tried to take advantage of this situation, demanding Bitcoin, being basically an imposter kidnapper in this case.

Did you think the Bureau wasn't gonna find you? I mean are you that stupid? This is like a warning to anyone else. Don't be an asshole. Check this out. We will investigate and ensure you are held accountable for your actions. We have made one arrest related to an imposter ransom demand, and a complaint will be presented to a magistrate judge later today.

Uh folks, I read the chat and I enjoy your comments, but somebody I don't know who it was. Somebody it's listen, fair enough. I the chat room's open for a reason. Uh but someone said, you know, who gives a damn about Folks, uh well, you know, listen, I just told you I haven't made a big part of doing wall to wall coverage on the show, unlike a lot of cable news networks, which, you know, find the story interesting for their own separate reasons. But it is

A story. You know, an American citizen was kidnapped an 84-year-old grandmother and could be dead. And it's a story. One of the ways and you know, we can definitely contribute and we have is when it comes to cell phone analysis, the bureau is just the best in the business. There's it and when I'm talking about analysis, I wanna get into too many details'cause I want to give away ways to get around it either.

When it comes to the BAU, their behavioral analysis unit, this is all they do. They can look at the scene and kind of put together some markers of where to go and where to investigate. They have these Somax teams, social media exploitation teams that can scrub social media and look for clues that other people may have missed. And these are areas where local law enforcement is amazing. They're fantastic.

But they have to be jacks of all trades. They have to do highway patrol, drug arrests, everything else. What the Bureau does is they have very specific teams that can do all this. Investigative genealogy work, ERT, their evidence response teams that process crime scenes, DNA, fingerprints. It's only a matter of time before they find this.

So I just figured I'd cover that, describe how it works. We don't just get to come in there and say, Hey, we're taking over. That's not the way it works in the real world. I promise you. Even on cases where it's pretty clear. Where there's a terrorism nexus, there's still a gradual process. They just walk in and bully people. These local police departments are real heroes. They're the ones that respond first. We're not a police force out.

Um so going back to beginning of the show,'cause there was massive breaking news and I have a little bit of time with you left. But I just I didn't have time to cover the press conference on the apprehension. Big huge breaking news, the beginning of the show. The presser happened at about ten to ten. Show starts at ten AM every single day. Rumble dot com slash Bongino. Please give us a follow right there.

But DOJ, huge announcement in conjunction with the FBI. There's been an arrest and a suspect, uh, Bakush, who we have been tracking for a really long time. It's one of those cases that when we got in, Cash and I both. Uh went to the AG and the DAG. And then Janine got in later and everybody was like, go find this guy. He'd been gone for a long time. The last administration didn't do a lot to get him. And we're like, we're gonna get this guy. Here's just a small tidbit.

From the presser. Again, it was going on as we started. I don't want to play a whole bunch of it. Uh, I have a couple other things I want to get to, but I wanted you to see a piece of it. Check this out. Never forget. Pam never forgot, the president never forgot, this FBI never forgot, and certainly U.S. Attorney Pierrot never forgot.

When an act of terrorism of this magnitude strikes at the heart of our nation, we go to work. President Trump has given us the full resources at the FBI and across the interagency to make sure we deliver justice. And Pam, you're right. Um Dan and I did sit down early on um about this to bring justice.

But you led the effort. You brought together the interagency. You said we are going to get this done because no one agency alone can do it. So we are thankful to have an attorney general at the Department of Justice who works together with every single Cabinet Secretary. and enforce the law. What you saw today, and I want to get or what you're going to see today, um, I want to address it a minute, but I want to remind the folks out there, the work of this Department of Justice.

We were here just a few short months ago talking about how we were gonna raise the RFJ for another violent offender on the run, Ryan Wedding. And what do we do under Attorney General's leadership? And what do we do when President Trump said go get the worst of the worst? We captured him. We captured together, under President Trump's leadership, six of the FBI's most wanted fugitives in one calendar year. To put that in perspective, that is two more than the entirety of the prior administration.

And you cannot do that alone at the FBI. You have to have an attorney general and a Department of Justice willing to prosecute, willing to go to the four corners of the earth and make sure we deliver justice. And that's what we're doing here today. I was at the airfield with US Attorney Pierrot earlier this morning when we did the formal uh foreign transfer of custody of Bakush into US custody to face prosecution. I'm going to tell you something.

Cash was a freaking beast on this case. An absolute beast. He's been honored from the day he swore in. Janine and Pam too. They just were not letting it go. But there are, again, justice is really slow, folks. I feel like I'm gonna be a bridge to the people who are frustrated with things not happening. I understand. Please. You guys are not the doomers. You want and demand results. Your spreadsheet's people like me. Good. Period. No butts, no asterisks.

But the justice process is slow. A couple of hat tips on this case, too. The State Department under Secretary Rubio's leadership did an amazing job. Landau and others on this. And the president, folks, the president's known about this for a long time. And I promise you, he was never like, Oh, that's an old case, whatever, Benghazi. Nope.

When I said to you on a media hit a long time ago that we were in the office with the president, he was like, go get them, boys. This is what I was talking about, one of these things. This type of stuff. This is exactly what he would say every time. What do you need to do? Go get him. Go find him. He's not interested in bullshit. Go get him. You don't gotta fill me in on the minutiae the F Talk. Go get him.

They did today. Is this enough? Nope. Is this the end? Everybody should pop the shampoo. Nope, it's not. I told you I wasn't gonna do any of that. But it is a reflection on this president's leadership. He is not effing around, folks. I've seen it. This guy means business, whether it's violent crime, whether it's counter espionage. Whether it's that uh biolab case or why didn't you get to I promise I'm gonna get to all of this. It's been the first week, so much stuff has happened.

It's just uh trying to pack it all into a show. It's just been a lot. We're gonna get to a lot. We got guests coming up next week. We got the the now hour and a half, two hour format. New start time. But despite all that, I cannot exit the week on a Friday. Without sincerely from the bottom of my, you know, sometimes broken heart. Thank you, guys and ladies. I understand it's You know, it's a lot to ask of you. Every morning, ten AM

We do the show in the morning for a reason. I thought at one point about moving up to a uh primetime spot. Do you remember that? But I changed my mind on it. I changed my mind. You know what? I say, you know what, this is a bad idea. How to do a U-turn. Because I always like this show being in the morning. Ghee and I were chatting about this yesterday, because when I first started with Joe Armakos, God rest his soul.

A great show Armakost. What we wanted to do is give you the material for the day and we figured you can always watch it on demand later. You want to watch it on primetime, just go home, download the Rumble app on your smart TV and just watch it on the TV. Had a friend of mine reach out the other day. It was like, hey, I'm watching you on the TV, sent me a picture.

But I wanted you to have the information for the day and I gotta get it out there early. That's why I moved the show a little earlier. If it costs us a few viewers, cause people are working on the live stream, fine, but it didn't. Matter of fact, we came back to two hundred twenty seven thousand live streamers, which I think is gee, is that like one of our top five shows ever?

I think it's like number three or something. Election night was number one. We had like 500,000, and then we had like 375 sometime. So it's top five show ever. The audience today's been crazy. We're pushing over n uh w we're about ninety thousand today. But I really appreciate you all hanging in there with me. Please, I don't like to ask for too many favors, but if you could give us a follow on all of the platforms, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, we're still trending number one on Spotify.
