- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. Authorities
- 0:04Speaker 1: arrest the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer. Meanwhile, Ryan Routh, Trump's
- 0:11Speaker 1: would-be assassin, has asked for at least a 10-month trial delay.
- 0:18Speaker 1: BLM activists call for violence following the Daniel Penny verdict.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Liz Cheney insists that she does not deserve prison. Kamala
- 0:26Speaker 1: Harris is a reported contender for Time Person of the Year.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Joni Ernst says that she may possibly, potentially, I don't know,
- 0:36Speaker 1: maybe support Pete Hegseth. Navy SEALs, meanwhile, rallied to support
- 0:41Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth, and the Department of Health and Human Services
- 0:44Speaker 1: celebrates Pansexual Pride Day, whatever that means. All this on
- 0:49Speaker 1: Bongina Report, early edition. The alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO
- 1:06Speaker 1: Brian Thompson was arrested yesterday and is now being questioned
- 1:10Speaker 1: by police in Pennsylvania after bystanders saw him at a McDonald's.
- 1:15Speaker 1: The suspect's name is Luigi Mangione. He is a 26-year-old
- 1:21Speaker 1: who comes from an upper-class family, was the valedictorian of
- 1:24Speaker 1: his high school, and he pursued Ivy League degrees in
- 1:27Speaker 1: artificial intelligence, both undergraduate and master's. And by all accounts,
- 1:32Speaker 1: as far as we can tell, he's well-liked. And it's
- 1:35Speaker 1: kind of fascinating. He kind of transcends what we expect
- 1:39Speaker 1: from a would-be terrorist, right? Somebody who is poor, is
- 1:45Speaker 1: maybe kind of weird, or doesn't have a very normal
- 1:51Speaker 1: social life, perhaps has a lot of familial issues.
- 1:53Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:54Speaker 1: This Luigi guy seems to not fit the stereotypes very well.
- 1:59Speaker 1: I do think it's fascinating that there is a stereotype
- 2:02Speaker 1: that the people who usually commit these sort of crimes
- 2:04Speaker 1: in the name of justice or whatever are supposedly underprivileged people.
- 2:10Speaker 1: But actually, in reality, they always tend to be people
- 2:14Speaker 1: from upper class backgrounds. In other words, they're not at
- 2:17Speaker 1: the bottom of society. These are people who have very
- 2:19Speaker 1: privileged lifestyles who then, for whatever reason, think that violence
- 2:24Speaker 1: is acceptable if it will aid in their political goals. Now,
- 2:27Speaker 1: this is what communists have done throughout human history, right?
- 2:30Speaker 1: These are people who are from very well-to-do backgrounds who
- 2:34Speaker 1: commit really evil acts in the name of so-called progress.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Textbook communism. Now, a lot of people are saying that
- 2:43Speaker 1: Luigi is actually right-wing. Like the Unabomber, who Luigi actually
- 2:48Speaker 1: seemed to have admired, the shooter's Twitter, or lead shooter's Twitter,
- 2:52Speaker 1: reveals that he was deeply concerned with existential matters. He
- 2:56Speaker 1: was an avid reader with 295 books listed on Goodreads.
- 3:01Speaker 1: He described himself as an anti-capitalist, which is very left-wing,
- 3:06Speaker 1: but he was also very worried about nihilism in a
- 3:08Speaker 1: world without belief in God. He's deeply concerned about the
- 3:12Speaker 1: childlessness crisis and even the infertility crisis and has tweeted
- 3:17Speaker 1: about the plight of men in an anti-male society, which
- 3:21Speaker 1: is sort of right-wing coded. He also posted that porn
- 3:24Speaker 1: should be heavily, heavily restricted. I agree. He also retweeted
- 3:28Speaker 1: people like Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Peter Thiel, Andrew Huberman,
- 3:33Speaker 1: Mike Benz, who was a friend of the show. So
- 3:35Speaker 1: some right-wing and some right-leaning commentators. But he also follows
- 3:40Speaker 1: AOC and he got the COVID jab and he's a
- 3:42Speaker 1: climate activist. and of course he self-describes as an anti-capitalist.
- 3:45Speaker 1: So I'd say his public posts are politically mixed. He
- 3:49Speaker 1: can't really be put in a box. I wouldn't do
- 3:51Speaker 1: that as of yet. And crucially, again, for everybody asserting
- 3:54Speaker 1: that he's some sort of right-wing radical, justifying violence in
- 3:59Speaker 1: the name of so-called progress is a central tenet of leftism.
- 4:05Speaker 1: This is at the core of their belief system. They
- 4:07Speaker 1: don't really actually believe in anything other than Evil is
- 4:11Speaker 1: justified in the name of whatever you deem to be progress.
- 4:15Speaker 1: And that is certainly what motivated Luigi to kill this
- 4:18Speaker 1: CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Now, friends that went to school with
- 4:24Speaker 1: Luigi are saying that he had a back surgery that
- 4:28Speaker 1: changed everything for him. That had a real impact on
- 4:34Speaker 1: his worldview. And he does have a picture of his
- 4:37Speaker 1: back with an x-ray taken. an x-ray of his back
- 4:41Speaker 1: and his Twitter profile. So again, there's a lot of
- 4:44Speaker 1: things that aren't really clear about who this shooter was,
- 4:47Speaker 1: what his motivations were. There is a manifesto floating around
- 4:51Speaker 1: on X right now. I can't verify it. I don't
- 4:54Speaker 1: know if it's real or not. So I don't really
- 4:55Speaker 1: think it's worth delving into because it could be completely fake. Again,
- 4:59Speaker 1: no reputable news sources have reported anything substantial about this
- 5:03Speaker 1: man's manifesto. We know he has one. We don't know
- 5:07Speaker 1: anything about it yet. And you can also see from
- 5:10Speaker 1: his Tinder profile that this guy was a really physically
- 5:13Speaker 1: fit dude. He posted a lot of tweets about lifting
- 5:17Speaker 1: tips on his ex. Clearly, he was somebody who cared
- 5:20Speaker 1: about fitness. But he, again, is has these contradictions about him.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He's an anti-capitalist. He's radically health conscious. And at the
- 5:30Speaker 1: same time, here he is posing with a McDonald's Happy Meal.
- 5:35Speaker 1: And he also happens to have been arrested at a McDonald's.
- 5:39Speaker 1: People who saw him at the restaurant recognized him and
- 5:42Speaker 1: reported him to law enforcement. So if anything, Luigi is
- 5:46Speaker 1: just a walking ball of contradictions. And there also, I
- 5:51Speaker 1: will say, there has been some debate in the family
- 5:53Speaker 1: that Michael looks sort of like Luigi. And I want
- 5:57Speaker 1: you guys to drop a comment. What do you think?
- 5:59Speaker 1: Does Michael look like Luigi? Let's throw those up there.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I don't see it personally. I think Michael is much
- 6:07Speaker 1: more handsome, but this is the debate happening in the family.
- 6:10Speaker 1: There are some people who really do believe that Michael
- 6:13Speaker 1: looks like him. Anyways, We are going to take a
- 6:17Speaker 1: quick break. When we come back, I'm going to talk
- 6:19Speaker 1: to you about why this story actually makes me really angry. Really,
- 6:24Speaker 1: really angry on a couple levels. Don't go anywhere. Shout
- 6:27Speaker 1: out to our sponsors. They keep this show free. And
- 6:30Speaker 1: you guys, Coach Defense is awesome. My parents really have
- 6:32Speaker 1: said that it's worked really well on their puppy. And
- 6:36Speaker 1: I'm going to see him very soon, which I'm very
- 6:38Speaker 1: excited about, over Christmas. Anyways, so.
- 6:43Speaker 1: This entire story really gets to me because within an
- 6:47Speaker 1: hour of this man's arrest, the public knew more about
- 6:51Speaker 1: Luigi than the two people who tried to kill president Trump. And,
- 6:57Speaker 1: and also there was just so much more interest about
- 6:59Speaker 1: this guy. It seemed then, and, and, and love and
- 7:03Speaker 1: praise and, and admiration for this guy who killed the
- 7:06Speaker 1: healthcare CEO. Now, Ryan Routh, of course, was the lone gunman,
- 7:12Speaker 1: the second Trump shooter, potential assassin, who previously was recruiting
- 7:18Speaker 1: Taliban soldiers to fight for Ukraine. Again, we were told
- 7:22Speaker 1: that he was homeless. He was sort of a crazed dude.
- 7:25Speaker 1: At the same time, he was potentially orchestrating visa scams
- 7:31Speaker 1: to get Taliban soldiers into Ukraine. The whole story is
- 7:34Speaker 1: very bizarre. Ryan Routh was set to stand trial in February,
- 7:40Speaker 1: but his attorneys have asked for at least a 10-month
- 7:42Speaker 1: delay due to the massive amounts of evidence in the case.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Routh apparently had 18 cell phones with five different phone
- 7:53Speaker 1: companies relevant to his case, plus three computers, three tablets,
- 7:58Speaker 1: and five external storage drives totaling over 4,000 terabytes worth
- 8:04Speaker 1: of digital footprints. Who needs 18 phones? Three computers. Why
- 8:11Speaker 1: five different phone companies? Three tablets. The whole thing is bizarre.
- 8:18Speaker 1: And again, we know nothing about this guy. Even the
- 8:21Speaker 1: media interest. There's no media interest. The media has been
- 8:24Speaker 1: trying to get to the bottom of who Luigi is.
- 8:28Speaker 1: circulating these manifestos trying to even the ones that we
- 8:31Speaker 1: could be fake who knows doing everything they can to
- 8:34Speaker 1: deep delve into this guy and there's no interest in
- 8:37Speaker 1: the two guys who tried to kill the president this
- 8:42Speaker 1: guy was supposedly homeless and then he's orchestrating visa scams
- 8:49Speaker 1: and he's got 18 phones it doesn't make any sense
- 8:53Speaker 1: and then you have i think even more questions around
- 8:56Speaker 1: Matthew Crooks, who was the first Trump shooter, why was
- 9:00Speaker 1: Crooks' entire home cleaned like a hospital room? Was silverware
- 9:05Speaker 1: missing prior to local investigative units arriving? Why was his
- 9:09Speaker 1: body quickly cremated without the consent of the Butler County coroner?
- 9:15Speaker 1: Why did Crooks practice at the same shooting range used
- 9:19Speaker 1: by federal employees in his hometown? How does a 20-year-old
- 9:24Speaker 1: in America in 2024 have zero public digital footprint. Clearly
- 9:30Speaker 1: that wasn't the case with Luigi. He's got everything. I mean,
- 9:34Speaker 1: he even had, Michael, this guy had like a LinkedIn.
- 9:37Speaker 1: He had a, someone say a normal 20 year old.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Literally this guy had every single social media app platform
- 9:47Speaker 1: that you could have. Crooks, nothing. What did a device
- 9:53Speaker 1: that frequently visited Crooks' home and work, why did a
- 9:56Speaker 1: device that was frequently visiting his home and work all
- 10:00Speaker 1: visit within the vicinity of the D.C. FBI headquarters? How
- 10:06Speaker 1: are Crooks' parents, and this to me, this is a
- 10:08Speaker 1: real question that can be answered. We should be able
- 10:12Speaker 1: to know the answer to this. How are Crooks' parents,
- 10:14Speaker 1: who were not well-off people, how are they paying currently
- 10:18Speaker 1: for everything an ultra expensive defense attorney. Trump wants to
- 10:24Speaker 1: know the answer to this too. Take a listen.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Why is it that the father of the shooter in
- 10:31Speaker 4: the Butler instance has one of the best and most
- 10:35Speaker 4: expensive lawyers in the entire state of Pennsylvania? How did
- 10:39Speaker 4: he get to this expensive lawyer, big, big law firm,
- 10:44Speaker 4: the biggest in Pittsburgh? Where did he get this big
- 10:48Speaker 4: law firm from. It's sort of strange.
- 10:51Speaker 1: It is strange. And then you consider all of these
- 10:54Speaker 1: seemingly weaponized security failures from that day on behalf of
- 10:58Speaker 1: the Secret Service or the lies and the stonewalling from
- 11:01Speaker 1: the DOJ. We know virtually nothing about either shooter and
- 11:08Speaker 1: everything about Luigi.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Why?
- 11:11Speaker 1: It makes you wonder. Now, some good news did come
- 11:17Speaker 1: happened yesterday. Daniel Penny was found not guilty on all charges.
- 11:24Speaker 1: And this man really had everyone against him. The rogue,
- 11:28Speaker 1: racist prosecutor and district attorney, a negligent and activist medical examiner,
- 11:35Speaker 1: threats of violence against the juror. Yeah, there was a
- 11:37Speaker 1: wild mob outside the courthouse threatening the jury if they
- 11:40Speaker 1: don't convict. And shame on all of the women who
- 11:45Speaker 1: participated in this protest. Take a look. The whole thing
- 12:05Speaker 1: is ridiculous. You also, last night, there's footage of protesters,
- 12:10Speaker 1: like hordes of them, all through the streets of New York.
- 12:14Speaker 1: And again, it's a mixed bag. You got black and
- 12:17Speaker 1: white people and women and men. And it just, it's such,
- 12:22Speaker 1: it sets such a terrible, terrible precedent in this country
- 12:27Speaker 1: that we punish heroes. Shame on all the women, especially
- 12:31Speaker 1: for participating. None of them should ever expect a man
- 12:35Speaker 1: to protect them from criminals in New York City ever again.
- 12:38Speaker 1: And there are a lot of criminals in New York City,
- 12:40Speaker 1: a lot. Now, after the verdict, Jordan Neely's father made
- 12:44Speaker 1: calls for violent protests. Take a listen.
- 12:52Speaker 5: I just want to say I miss my son. My
- 12:56Speaker 5: son didn't have to go through this. I didn't have
- 12:59Speaker 5: to go through this either. It hurts. Really, really hurts.
- 13:08Speaker 5: What are we going to do, people? What's going to
- 13:11Speaker 5: happen to us now? I had enough of this. The
- 13:19Speaker 5: system is rigged.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 13:24Speaker 5: Come on, people. Let's do something about this. Let's do
- 13:32Speaker 5: something about it. Too often. We have Eric Garner's mother here.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Michael says that you guys are asking what my shirt says.
- 13:41Speaker 1: I've worn it before, you guys. It says low social
- 13:44Speaker 1: credit score. Oh, sorry. Low social credit score is what
- 13:50Speaker 1: it says. And it's a shirt from Natalie Winters. She's
- 13:54Speaker 1: so right line. So if you want a shirt like this,
- 13:58Speaker 1: go to Natalie Winters. I think it's probably linked on
- 14:01Speaker 1: her ex account. Clothing shop. She's got some fun designs
- 14:05Speaker 1: over there. Anyway, and again, Natalie and I went to
- 14:08Speaker 1: UChicago together. She's a very, very smart, very nice girl. Now,
- 14:13Speaker 1: what does he mean by let's do something about this?
- 14:19Speaker 1: As he stands alongside BLM leaders. Historically, that's meant burning
- 14:25Speaker 1: cities to the ground in the name of racial justice.
- 14:29Speaker 1: And he's saying he misses his son as if he
- 14:32Speaker 1: didn't abandon his son at a young age. His son
- 14:35Speaker 1: grew up to be a violent, mentally ill drug addict.
- 14:38Speaker 1: This guy is a failed father. He should be hiding
- 14:42Speaker 1: in shame, not hosting press conferences. And somehow, the rhetoric
- 14:48Speaker 1: actually gets worse. Here's Hawk Newsome, who co-founded BLM of
- 14:53Speaker 1: Greater New York.
- 14:55Speaker 5: We need some black vigilantes.
- 14:57Speaker 6: That's right.
- 14:59Speaker 7: People want to jump up and choke us and kill
- 15:03Speaker 7: us for being loud? How about we do the same
- 15:09Speaker 7: when they attempt to oppress us?
- 15:12Speaker 5: I'm tired.
- 15:13Speaker 7: Tired.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Yes, he's just in that clip. explicitly calling for violence
- 15:19Speaker 1: against white people. And how much do you want to
- 15:22Speaker 1: bet that this violent, racist dude isn't on any kind
- 15:26Speaker 1: of FBI watch list, unlike countless innocent January Sixers or pro-lifers?
- 15:33Speaker 1: Here's Hawk's sister and BLM Greater New York co-founder.
- 15:36Speaker 7: To be real, they didn't even try. Once the lesser
- 15:41Speaker 7: charge was removed, they came back an hour later and
- 15:44Speaker 7: said it was deadlocked. Less than an hour and 20
- 15:47Speaker 7: minutes later, they said not guilty. These wonderful white people,
- 15:51Speaker 7: I hope they celebrate their Christmas while the Neely family
- 15:55Speaker 7: is praying and asking God for comfort. God damn them
- 15:59Speaker 7: and God damn America.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Damn the white people on the jury. Can you guys
- 16:07Speaker 1: imagine if this woman was talking about black people as
- 16:12Speaker 1: some white woman? She'd be charged with a hate crime.
- 16:16Speaker 1: This rhetoric is incredibly vile and it's almost unbelievable. Almost.
- 16:22Speaker 1: But I did live through the 2020 summer of rage.
- 16:24Speaker 1: So we've all seen this kind of thing before. Of course,
- 16:26Speaker 1: AOC had to chime in. She wrote on X, Jordan
- 16:30Speaker 1: Neely was murdered. No, he wasn't. And the jury said so,
- 16:34Speaker 1: but whatever. But because Jordan was home, was houseless. This
- 16:38Speaker 1: is like, we can't say homeless anymore. Houseless. What the heck?
- 16:41Speaker 1: And crying for food in a time when the city
- 16:43Speaker 1: is raising rents and stripping services. to militarize itself while
- 16:47Speaker 1: many in power demonize the poor, the murdered get protected.
- 16:50Speaker 1: The murderer gets protected with passive headlines and no charges.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Is this woman high? The media purposely circulated a wildly
- 17:01Speaker 1: outdated photo of Jordan Neely from when he was a
- 17:03Speaker 1: child to garner sympathy for him from the public. What
- 17:07Speaker 1: does she mean sympathetic headlines? The left controls The corporate media.
- 17:14Speaker 1: What is she talking about? This has been rigged by
- 17:16Speaker 1: the media from day one. And Neely died after police
- 17:21Speaker 1: and paramedics arrived. Black and white witnesses said that they
- 17:25Speaker 1: were grateful to Penny, who calmly restrained Jordan Neely before
- 17:30Speaker 1: he could hurt anyone. But this is what leftists do.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Blame the so-called system that they created. Say that New
- 17:40Speaker 1: York is an evil place. set up truly to victimize
- 17:43Speaker 1: the poor and the vulnerable. Who runs New York City, AOC? Democrats.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Democrats run New York City. Democrats create crime-ridden, poverty-stricken, blue-city hellholes.
- 17:55Speaker 1: It's Democrats. And again, charges never should have even been
- 18:00Speaker 1: brought to this case in the first place. As Sean
- 18:03Speaker 1: Davis writes, A serious nation would prosecute and imprison every
- 18:07Speaker 1: single person involved with the attempt to ruin Daniel Penny's life.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Daniel Penny heroically saved subway riders from a schizophrenic drug addict.
- 18:18Speaker 1: And for that, he nearly had his life destroyed. But
- 18:22Speaker 1: a multiracial jury stopped the racist city officials of New
- 18:26Speaker 1: York from succeeding in destroying his life. So maybe there's hope.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Maybe even New Yorkers are coming back. around maybe insanity
- 18:35Speaker 1: is coming back drop a comment has new york hit
- 18:39Speaker 1: rock bottom as dan always says is it bad enough
- 18:42Speaker 1: to the point where normalcy is finally coming back is
- 18:45Speaker 1: the pendulum swinging has the trump wave rippled into nyc
- 18:51Speaker 1: trump did win 30 percent of the votes cast in
- 18:54Speaker 1: new york city this month and while a last month
- 18:57Speaker 1: and while and which i'm sorry i'm This is a
- 19:02Speaker 1: seven-point jump from his performance in 2020 and a higher
- 19:05Speaker 1: share of the votes than any Republican nominee has won
- 19:08Speaker 1: in the city since George H.W. Bush in 1988. So
- 19:13Speaker 1: I don't know. You guys tell me what you think.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Drop a comment. Is this part of the Trump wave?
- 19:17Speaker 1: Is sanity coming back to New York City of all places? Obviously,
- 19:20Speaker 1: it's not fully back, but is something happening? Is it
- 19:24Speaker 1: trending to the right?
- 19:26Speaker 3: Who knows?
- 19:27Speaker 1: So, Penny is thankfully and rightfully a free man. But
- 19:33Speaker 1: there is one woman out there who deserves to be
- 19:35Speaker 1: behind bars, and that woman's name is Liz Cheney, former
- 19:39Speaker 1: member of the January 6th Witch Hunt Committee, who said
- 19:42Speaker 1: yesterday that she should not go to jail for allegedly
- 19:46Speaker 1: destroying 117 of the J6 panel's files. According to Representative
- 19:51Speaker 1: Barry Laudermilk, who led the House Administration Committee's oversight investigation,
- 19:57Speaker 1: his computer forensic investigators discovered that 117 files went missing,
- 20:03Speaker 1: presumably deleted or encrypted by the panel's members, which of
- 20:07Speaker 1: course includes Liz Cheney. And over the weekend, Trump said
- 20:11Speaker 1: members of the committee should go to jail for what
- 20:14Speaker 1: they did. Take a listen.
- 20:17Speaker 3: This was a committee, a big deal. They lied. And
- 20:22Speaker 3: what did they do? They deleted and destroyed a whole
- 20:26Speaker 3: year and a half worth of testimony. Do you know
- 20:29Speaker 3: that I can't get? I think those people committed a
- 20:31Speaker 3: major crime. And Cheney was behind it. And so was
- 20:34Speaker 3: Benny Thompson and everybody on that committee. For what they did, honestly,
- 20:41Speaker 3: they should go to jail.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Cheney disagrees. According to her, there is no conceivably appropriate
- 20:49Speaker 1: factual or constitutional basis for what Donald Trump is suggesting.
- 20:53Speaker 1: A Justice Department investigation of the work of a congressional
- 20:55Speaker 1: committee and any lawyer who attempts to pursue that course
- 20:59Speaker 1: would quickly find themselves engaged in sanctionable conduct. Well, if
- 21:03Speaker 1: she didn't do anything criminal, then there's no need for
- 21:06Speaker 1: Biden to pardon her. But that's exactly what Biden is
- 21:09Speaker 1: considering doing alongside with Anthony Fauci, Adam Schiff. There are
- 21:15Speaker 1: so many people in this country who think that they
- 21:17Speaker 1: are just above the law, that they're untouchable. Institutions in
- 21:21Speaker 1: this country, the government, academia, the media, they consistently reward
- 21:27Speaker 1: bad behavior and punish heroes like Daniel Penny. Which brings
- 21:32Speaker 1: me to my next story. Kamala Harris is reportedly being
- 21:36Speaker 1: considered for Time Person of the Year. Kamala Harris, the
- 21:39Speaker 1: woman who became the Democrat candidate with zero votes, spectacularly
- 21:44Speaker 1: lost to Trump, tanks her party for potentially years to come,
- 21:48Speaker 1: and who has yet to repay millions of the $ 1. 5
- 21:51Speaker 1: billion that she recklessly burned through. Yes, that is who
- 21:55Speaker 1: they are considering for Time Person of the Year. Not
- 21:58Speaker 1: only that, Kamala is now being accused of racism by
- 22:03Speaker 1: her own team. Oh, the irony. According to the New
- 22:08Speaker 1: York Times, an expose, they reported on black and Hispanic
- 22:14Speaker 1: staffers from Kamala Harris's campaign who are saying that the
- 22:17Speaker 1: entire operation was one of the most discriminatory campaigns in
- 22:21Speaker 1: modern democratic history. And they are accusing Kamala and her
- 22:25Speaker 1: leadership team of routinely sidelining black staffers input while showing
- 22:29Speaker 1: preferential treatment to white staffers. Allegedly. And campaign offices in
- 22:34Speaker 1: minority-dominated areas were supposedly left to function without basic necessities,
- 22:39Speaker 1: such as running water, reliable internet, or even working computers,
- 22:43Speaker 1: forcing staff to operate out of coffee shops and fast-food
- 22:46Speaker 1: chains to access free Wi-Fi. And getting back to the
- 22:50Speaker 1: debt Kamala owes, minority staffers also claim that they were
- 22:54Speaker 1: forced to cover campaign expenses like printing and signage out
- 22:58Speaker 1: of their own pockets, which is apparently illegal. not the
- 23:01Speaker 1: case for white staffers. And it's pretty ironic considering that
- 23:07Speaker 1: Kamala represented hope and change and racial justice and equality
- 23:12Speaker 1: of blacks and whites. She ran on being a black woman, right?
- 23:18Speaker 1: And now her own staffers are accusing her of racism.
- 23:22Speaker 1: And I don't know if any of this is true. Again,
- 23:24Speaker 1: the New York Times let all of these accusers remain anonymous.
- 23:28Speaker 1: That's always a red flag. What I do know is
- 23:31Speaker 1: that this campaign was clearly disastrously run and Kamala should
- 23:37Speaker 1: retire from politics in shame. There is zero reason for
- 23:41Speaker 1: Time Magazine to be celebrating her. Zero. Even on the
- 23:46Speaker 1: Democratic side, we're right-wingers. Most of you listening to this show,
- 23:50Speaker 1: I assume, I don't like Kamala. I don't think she's
- 23:54Speaker 1: a great candidate. I would never vote for her. Even
- 23:57Speaker 1: her own side is calling her a disaster. There is
- 24:02Speaker 1: no reason she should be considered for this award. It
- 24:06Speaker 1: makes zero sense. Michael says we could ask Stuart if
- 24:11Speaker 1: he's listening. What does he think? Stuart, what do you think?
- 24:14Speaker 1: He's our designated left-wing listener. Just so you guys know,
- 24:18Speaker 1: a guy named Stuart Thompson from the New York Times said,
- 24:21Speaker 1: is supposedly writing a hit piece on Dan and I
- 24:24Speaker 1: and some other Rumble content creators. And he admitted in
- 24:28Speaker 1: an email to Dan that he is listening to our shows.
- 24:31Speaker 1: He is eavesdropping to find out what the rest of
- 24:33Speaker 1: us are talking about. So Stuart, drop a comment. What
- 24:38Speaker 1: do you think? Does Kamala deserve to be Time Person
- 24:40Speaker 1: of the Year? Are you disappointed in her campaign? We
- 24:42Speaker 1: all know that you voted for her. Let us know, Stuart.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Call him out in the chat, you guys. Well, let's
- 24:48Speaker 1: not dwell on the past. And what horrors would have
- 24:51Speaker 1: befallen America had Kamala Harris won? Trump has some nominees
- 24:56Speaker 1: to get confirmed. And Senator Joni Ernst, who has been
- 25:00Speaker 1: standing in the way of Pete Hexeth's confirmation, reportedly because
- 25:03Speaker 1: she wants Trump to replace Pete with her, came out
- 25:05Speaker 1: with a statement yesterday. She said, I appreciate Pete Hexeth's
- 25:10Speaker 1: responsiveness and respect for the process. Following our encouraging conversations,
- 25:15Speaker 1: Pete committed to completing a full audit of the Pentagon
- 25:18Speaker 1: and selecting a senior official who will uphold the roles
- 25:20Speaker 1: and values of our servicemen and women based on quality
- 25:24Speaker 1: and standards, not quotas, and who will prioritize and strengthen
- 25:27Speaker 1: my work to prevent sexual assault within the ranks. As
- 25:31Speaker 1: I support Pete through this process, I look forward to
- 25:33Speaker 1: a fair hearing based on truth, not anonymous sources. And
- 25:37Speaker 1: a lot of people are taking this entire statement to
- 25:39Speaker 1: mean that Joni Ernst has promised to confirm Pete. That
- 25:43Speaker 1: is not what I got from that statement. I think
- 25:45Speaker 1: it still remains pretty ambiguous. Chat, drop a comment. Let
- 25:49Speaker 1: me know what you think. Yes or no. Was that
- 25:51Speaker 1: statement a confirmation for Pete? I don't think so. Now,
- 25:56Speaker 1: Pete does fortunately have the support of the people whose
- 25:59Speaker 1: opinions really matter. Over 100 Navy SEAL veterans and veterans
- 26:04Speaker 1: from other military branches are reportedly planning to march in Washington, D.C.
- 26:09Speaker 1: to express their support for Pete. And the event is
- 26:11Speaker 1: being organized by Navy SEAL veteran Bill Breke Brown, the
- 26:16Speaker 1: founder of the New York City Seal, swim across the
- 26:18Speaker 1: Hudson River, which Pete, of course, has participated in. Also,
- 26:22Speaker 1: a group of veterans who played a key role in
- 26:25Speaker 1: the private evacuation of thousands of Americans from Afghanistan in
- 26:29Speaker 1: 2021 have also spoken out in defense of Pete. And
- 26:34Speaker 1: just a reminder, guys, how many Democrats, drop a comment,
- 26:38Speaker 1: how many Democrats voted against Biden's cabinet picks?
- 26:43Speaker 7: Zero.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Zero Democrat senators. And we are fighting for Trump's picks
- 26:51Speaker 1: with Republicans in the Senate. To say that it's frustrating
- 26:59Speaker 1: is an understatement. And I'm going to be honest, the
- 27:04Speaker 1: only reason that Pete is still in this fight, the
- 27:07Speaker 1: only reason that he hasn't turned out like Matt Gaetz
- 27:10Speaker 1: is because of all of you guys on social media.
- 27:12Speaker 1: It's because people have come out and rallied around Pete. Said,
- 27:16Speaker 1: you're not going to do this to another Trump candidate.
- 27:19Speaker 1: We are getting Pete. This is the hill that we
- 27:21Speaker 1: die on. And so I'm actually really proud of everybody
- 27:24Speaker 1: who's part of the Bongino army. Everybody who has, how was,
- 27:27Speaker 1: you know, retweeted and tweeted and stood up for him. That,
- 27:31Speaker 1: that kind of digital presence and even physical presence, like
- 27:35Speaker 1: those who are going to march on in Washington, it matters.
- 27:39Speaker 1: It gives, it, it gives the Trump team the courage
- 27:43Speaker 1: to stand by Pete, to fight for Pete, to put
- 27:47Speaker 1: the pressure on the senators who are being flaky about
- 27:51Speaker 1: him instead of the pressure on the Trump team to
- 27:54Speaker 1: switch out their nominees. It is, I'm really, I just,
- 27:58Speaker 1: I am, I'm really proud of you guys. I'm really
- 28:00Speaker 1: happy that people have rallied around him because he is
- 28:02Speaker 1: a good man. He is going to do really good things.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Now the media, of course, Despite all the public support
- 28:10Speaker 1: around Pete, they have not let up their fight to
- 28:12Speaker 1: get rid of him. Now, they are attacking Pete currently
- 28:16Speaker 1: for being a Christian. Politico warns that Trump's pick to
- 28:19Speaker 1: run the Pentagon has embraced an aggressive form of Christianity
- 28:23Speaker 1: that is at war with the military's nonpartisan and pluralistic culture.
- 28:28Speaker 1: Nonpartisan and pluralistic culture. Let me just translate all this
- 28:31Speaker 1: for you. Politico detests that Hegseth is a Christian, even
- 28:35Speaker 1: though America was founded as a Christian country, and by
- 28:38Speaker 1: nonpartisan pluralistic culture, Politico means DEI. Yeah, Hegseth is going
- 28:43Speaker 1: to end systemic racism and division informed by cultural Marxism
- 28:46Speaker 1: in the military. Correct. And Politico was mad about it.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Can you guys... believe that the semantics games that these
- 28:57Speaker 1: guys are playing to fearmonger about Pete. Frankly, I think
- 29:01Speaker 1: we could use a Christian defense secretary. The Biden admin
- 29:04Speaker 1: just funded anti-Christian Islamic terrorists to topple the Syrian government.
- 29:09Speaker 1: And now Syria's ancient Christian community is facing extinction. Not
- 29:14Speaker 1: only that, Biden has promised to aid these Syrian terrorists
- 29:18Speaker 1: to rebuild, whatever that means, Syria. The leader, by the way,
- 29:23Speaker 1: Of the forces that took over Syria. Is the former
- 29:28Speaker 1: member of Al-Qaeda. The guys we were told supposedly did 9-11.
- 29:34Speaker 1: And here's the reality. The permanent state hates Pete because
- 29:38Speaker 1: they know he'll reform the Pentagon. and reduce U.S. involvement
- 29:41Speaker 1: in foreign wars like in places such as Syria. It's
- 29:45Speaker 1: all about opposing Trump's foreign policy agenda, which the deep
- 29:49Speaker 1: state already did last time. Military officials lied to Trump
- 29:52Speaker 1: about troop levels in Syria to undermine his decision to
- 29:55Speaker 1: withdraw forces from Syria. Just repeat that. Trump as the
- 29:59Speaker 1: commander-in-chief had his military subordinates lie and defy him because
- 30:05Speaker 1: they wanted to continue meddling in Syria. Their hatred, the
- 30:10Speaker 1: machine's hatred of Pete, is rooted in a fear that
- 30:12Speaker 1: he'll no longer allow them, these agencies, these rogue agencies,
- 30:18Speaker 1: including the Pentagon, to run themselves outside of the purview
- 30:21Speaker 1: of the president. Speaking of Trump appointees, I want you
- 30:25Speaker 1: guys to take a listen to University of Wisconsin microbiology
- 30:28Speaker 1: professor Timothy Postian and discuss RFK Jr.
- 30:35Speaker 7: So what's the bad news?
- 30:36Speaker 1: We have a psychopath that's going to be the head
- 30:40Speaker 1: of health and human services at RFK Jr.
- 30:43Speaker 5: He's against vaccines.
- 30:45Speaker 4: He's a moron.
- 30:47Speaker 1: That's not a political thing.
- 30:49Speaker 3: That's a fact.
- 30:51Speaker 4: Okay?
- 30:52Speaker 1: And I am concerned that if we do have a pandemic,
- 30:56Speaker 1: with him in charge, he's going to be talking about
- 30:59Speaker 1: crystals and meditation.
- 31:01Speaker 4: All right?
- 31:02Speaker 6: Ignore people like that.
- 31:04Speaker 7: And I charge you guys with educating your friends and family.
- 31:10Speaker 2: Hopefully, this doesn't happen. All right?
- 31:13Speaker 5: Now that I've scared you to death, let's move on.
- 31:18Speaker 1: If you are listening on Apple or Spotify, this is
- 31:21Speaker 1: a massive, massive lecture hall. And it's, by the way,
- 31:25Speaker 1: also where Michael went to undergrad at UW-Madison. It's where
- 31:28Speaker 1: I almost got my undergrad as Wisconsin kids. We all
- 31:32Speaker 1: want to go to UW-Madison. Oh, Michael says, you've been
- 31:34Speaker 1: to that lecture hall? Michael had a class there. Somebody said,
- 31:38Speaker 1: I can't believe people pay for this. Yes, Michael. Michael
- 31:41Speaker 1: paid for it. He didn't have... With no debt, that's true.
- 31:45Speaker 1: He didn't have that specific professor, but.
- 31:49Speaker 1: He experienced radical professors like this one. So did I
- 31:52Speaker 1: at UChicago. And we hear this kind of crap all
- 31:55Speaker 1: the time from professors. These are partisan people. A lot
- 31:59Speaker 1: of them can be even pseudoscientists. Frankly, it is to
- 32:02Speaker 1: be expected. But then you compare RFK Jr. to the
- 32:06Speaker 1: current HHS. Let's talk about what exactly this guy is
- 32:09Speaker 1: saying here, right? RFK Jr., he's dangerous and he's crazy
- 32:12Speaker 1: and he hates science. This is a real post from
- 32:16Speaker 1: the Current Health and Human Services Government X Account. Today,
- 32:21Speaker 1: on Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day, everyone deserves to feel seen, respected,
- 32:27Speaker 1: and supported, no matter who they love. Create a world
- 32:31Speaker 1: where everyone feels proud to be themselves. Is this following
- 32:34Speaker 1: the science? Drop a comment, yes or no. Is this
- 32:37Speaker 1: following the science? Is this cutting-edge facts and research from HHS?
- 32:41Speaker 1: Of course not. But what do you expect from a
- 32:44Speaker 1: health department run by an obese, trans-identifying man who supports
- 32:49Speaker 1: the chemical castration and mutilation of children? These people are
- 32:52Speaker 1: clinically insane activists and pseudoscientists who promote outright unhealthy policies,
- 32:59Speaker 1: but they want you to believe that RFK Jr. is
- 33:01Speaker 1: the real threat. And then Democrats wonder why the country
- 33:04Speaker 1: thinks that they're nuts. They wonder why Kamala Harris, which
- 33:07Speaker 1: is Biden 2.0, lost miserably. Does anybody here listen to
- 33:14Speaker 1: the show Pod Save America. Anybody here listen to that?
- 33:17Speaker 1: Probably not. But it's a very popular left-wing podcast. Usually
- 33:22Speaker 1: ranks right up there with Megyn Kelly, Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Very popular show among leftists. And the podcast is run
- 33:30Speaker 1: by four former Obama staffers. And recently, Positive America did
- 33:34Speaker 1: a post-mortem on the Kamala campaign with a few guests
- 33:38Speaker 1: who all either worked for Obama, Biden, Kamala, or all
- 33:41Speaker 1: three of them. And their conclusion was that they ran
- 33:45Speaker 1: a great campaign. But the time constraint made Kamala's campaign unwinnable.
- 33:52Speaker 1: And they expressed actually a lot of resentment at all
- 33:55Speaker 1: of the Democrat voters who are coming at them angry
- 33:59Speaker 1: about the results because this is supposedly unfair and they
- 34:02Speaker 1: did their best. As Alexander Salmon writes in Slate, the
- 34:07Speaker 1: results are clear. The Democrats need to do something really different.
- 34:11Speaker 1: And yet the Obama wing of the party, right, the
- 34:14Speaker 1: Pod Save America folks, basically took over Harris' campaign and
- 34:18Speaker 1: now insists that the only solution is a return to
- 34:21Speaker 1: even more Obama-style politics. America is tired of Obama. Even
- 34:29Speaker 1: Democrats are tired of Obama. Running the Democratic Party, running Washington,
- 34:34Speaker 1: poisoning politics. His presidency was, interestingly, a populist promise. but
- 34:41Speaker 1: it delivered establishment results. Obama campaigned on ending foreign wars.
- 34:46Speaker 1: I remember my grandmother was a huge Obama supporter on
- 34:50Speaker 1: my dad's side. She would protest with like hardly anyone
- 34:54Speaker 1: in her little small town to end the war in Iraq.
- 34:59Speaker 1: But Obama didn't deliver for her. She was so excited
- 35:02Speaker 1: that he would do that. But he turned out to
- 35:06Speaker 1: be a very weak and I think probably easily compromised man.
- 35:09Speaker 1: But Trump was different. Despite relentless bullying, lies, lawfare, slander,
- 35:14Speaker 1: attempts to destroy him by the permanent state, Trump had
- 35:17Speaker 1: an unwavering resolve that won him the respect and loyalty
- 35:23Speaker 1: of the people. Not necessarily Republicans, just people across the
- 35:29Speaker 1: political spectrum. Both parties had the chance to champion the
- 35:33Speaker 1: will of the people, but only Trump dared to stand
- 35:37Speaker 1: firm even at the cost of his own safety. And
- 35:41Speaker 1: that's no exaggeration. The man literally faced life-threatening attempts to
- 35:45Speaker 1: silence him. Here's Tucker on Trump's courage.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Bravery is the essential quality. It's the essential quality. What's
- 35:52Speaker 2: the takeaway from Saturday? Trump's going to be president.
- 35:54Speaker 5: Because he's brave. Period. Period. Like, actually brave. Physically brave.
- 35:59Speaker 5: Facing death. Shot in the face. And unbowed. Unafraid. Defiant.
- 36:06Speaker 2: And that's the only thing that works. And I do
- 36:09Speaker 2: think there's been so much... whispering among the persecuted right about, wow,
- 36:14Speaker 2: does this come to a time when we have to
- 36:16Speaker 2: physically fight back? And I don't think it takes that.
- 36:20Speaker 2: You don't have to hurt anyone to save your country.
- 36:23Speaker 2: You do have to be willing to be hurt, however.
- 36:26Speaker 5: Period.
- 36:27Speaker 2: You have to be willing to make a sacrifice.
- 36:29Speaker 4: You do.
- 36:30Speaker 5: And I think people are cowards. I'm just saying that. Sorry.
- 36:32Speaker 5: No one in particular. There are an awful lot of cowards.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Me, sometimes, too. But Trump is a reminder that doesn't work.
- 36:38Speaker 2: The only thing that works is bravery.
- 36:42Speaker 1: As Tucker said, this isn't just about Trump. It's about
- 36:44Speaker 1: the movement he has inspired and the courageous individuals he's
- 36:48Speaker 1: aligned himself with. Figures like R.K. Jr., Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard,
- 36:52Speaker 1: they've already endured intense attacks and they're remaining steadfast. I
- 36:57Speaker 1: think Americans, anybody can be not brave. Anybody can be cowardly,
- 37:03Speaker 1: as Tucker said. But I think we instinctively value courage
- 37:06Speaker 1: and sacrifice. Every one of our ancestors needed those qualities
- 37:10Speaker 1: to survive here in the new world. Even in dark
- 37:14Speaker 1: blue New York City, the Daniel Penny trial became a
- 37:17Speaker 1: symbol of the public's reverence, really, for heroism. This is
- 37:23Speaker 1: a nation that still admires selflessness and courage. Our elites
- 37:27Speaker 1: have abandoned those values, but the regular people haven't. We're
- 37:31Speaker 1: not seeking a civil war. We're not trying to hurt anybody.
- 37:36Speaker 1: not trying to fight physically cultural Marxists in the permanent state,
- 37:40Speaker 1: but we're called to be fearless witnesses to the truth.
- 37:45Speaker 1: I think the new populist rights moral resolve is evident
- 37:48Speaker 1: in how we instinctively defended persecuted Christians in Syria. These
- 37:52Speaker 1: are people who have endured over a millennium under Muslim dominion,
- 37:57Speaker 1: and they remain unshaken in their faith. And they've faced
- 38:03Speaker 1: some of the most harrowing persecution imaginable on earth. And
- 38:10Speaker 1: I think Americans want to protect them, not just because
- 38:12Speaker 1: they're our brothers and sisters in Christ, but because we
- 38:15Speaker 1: are in awe of their bravery and unwavering faith. America
- 38:19Speaker 1: is not an amoral nation. We have values. We have faith.
- 38:23Speaker 1: We have resolve. The most repeated command in scripture is
- 38:27Speaker 1: be not afraid for a reason. We defend the truth
- 38:33Speaker 1: and are brave. I think we really have a fighting chance.
- 38:37Speaker 1: And that's all I have for you guys today. If
