  Speaker 1: Come and say to me, sir, sir, we're winning too much, sir.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: We can't take it anymore.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: We have to.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Stop winning, sir. We can't do it. We're not used
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to winning in our country. And each one of them
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: is going to say every single one, sir, please, please.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: You're destroying our country.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We're winning too much. Our country isn't prepared for this.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: We're just going to keep on winning. I love that
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: clip last night, you guys. President Trump announced Dan Bongino
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: will be America's new deputy FBI director. And right off
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: the bat, I want to just clear the air. You
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: guys know we are going to keep running things here
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: at the Bongino Network. My show, Bongino Report Early Edition,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: will continue at the same time, 9 a.m. Eastern, five
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: days a week. This is a separate show from Dan,
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: so we're going to keep operating. Haley Caronia, her new show,
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Bongina Report Evening Edition, will be launching really soon, 6 p.m.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Eastern time, five days a week. That'll be happening really fast,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: coming up on us. And we have even bigger announcements
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: to come, so just stay tuned. A lot of you
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: guys want to know, will Dan still have a show today?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: The answer is yes. Today, until I believe March 16th,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Dan will be 14th. I'm sorry. Dan will be running
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: his podcast and radio show, and then he will be
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: stepping away and into his new role at the FBI.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Things are going to be changing a lot. We're going
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: to have a lot more details, like I said, in
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: the coming days, but it is all good news. This
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: is good, good news. I'm not going to lie and
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: say that operating without Dan at this Bongino Network isn't
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: going to be hard. It's going to be hard. It's
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: going to be hard for Dan as well. Without getting
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: into too many details, you guys have to understand that
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: This is a huge, huge sacrifice for Dan, for Paula,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: for his daughters. But he said to us when he
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: told the team last week, he said, you know, I
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: preach a lot on this show. I say things and
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I tell people what we should do and how we
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: should be as a country. And I have to be
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: willing to actually practice what I preach. You know, Dan
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: tells people to donate to the Trump campaign. Well, that's
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: because Dan donated to the Trump campaign himself. Dan isn't
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: just here for the talk. He sincerely is doing this
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: in service to his country. And that's what his podcast
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: is about as well, right? It's a service to this country.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Dan was doing the Dan Bongino show, his podcast for
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: years without a single sponsor. The guy made no money
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: doing it. He just did it. This is why he's
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: willing to step away from this empire that he's built
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: for just a time, again, to make virtually no money
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: for this country. He is doing it for this country.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: And that's why he was a police officer and a
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Secret Service agent. This man's life has been dedicated to service.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: So when he got the call from President Trump and
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Kash Patel, he acted not on what would be easiest,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the most convenient, the most lucrative, but what would be
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: the best for this country. Because he loves this country.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: This is a man who would die. for this country
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: if he had to. That was literally his job, to
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: take a bullet for the president. And he was willing
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to do that for Obama, of all people. If you're
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: a listener of this show, you know Dan Bongino was
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: not the greatest fan of Obama, but he was willing
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: to take a bullet for that man because his life
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: has been dedicated to service and to sacrifice. And is
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: anyone surprised that he'd make this sacrifice now? This is
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Dan's view on life in a nutshell. This is where
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: he comes from with everything. Take a listen.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: What is your.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Program for staying happy? You know, I'm not a happy guy. No,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I love my wife a lot. I talk
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: about her all the time in the show. I'm kind
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of a semi-celebrity just from my show and her crazy
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: date night stories. You ever read the book The Natural?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Not the movie. The movie's good. The book, the Malamud
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: book and There's a line where Roy Hobbs' girlfriend says
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to Roy, you know, that we all live two lives,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the one we learn from and the one we live
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: after that. That's a great line, but it's the second
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: part she says that really matters. She says the real
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: path to happiness is through suffering. And she's right. Now,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of like biochemical reasons beyond the scope
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of this conversation that I won't bore you with about
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: dopamine and all this other crap. But God gave you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a really intricate happiness reward system. But the only way
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to access it so that it feels good, that really
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: feels good, that it's deep, not liberal happiness, coke, blow, crack, drinking, heroin, whatever.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about true happiness where you feel you can
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: die one day satisfied. Make no mistake and listen to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: what I'm telling you. This is the best advice you're
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: ever going to get. Not because it came from me,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: because someone gave it to me and it was genius.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: It's only through suffering. So people ask me like, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: joke about this cold plunge thing I have, which sucks
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in the morning, like nothing you've ever seen. You ever
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: jump in 40 degree water at six in the morning,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: every morning, and just sit there and freeze? You know
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: why I do it? Anyone have any idea? Because it sucks,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that's why. That's why I do it, because it sucks. No,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. Yeah, there's cold shock proteins and all this stuff.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Your brain is intricately wired by the intelligent creators to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: have to earn every ounce of happiness. My wife and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I have a date night on Friday night. That's the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: one night a week me and her let loose. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you know what? I earn that. I'm up every morning
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: working out, jumping in the damn cold plunge. I'm 50
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: years old. I'm falling apart. I'm sitting there squatting, deadlifting, sweating.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm done with my show. I'm up from six. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: bang out work from what? 10 to 3 p.m. Right
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: back to show prep the next day. Right in the sauna.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: My wife comes. She doesn't do the cold punch. She
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: hates it. She'll do this. I sit in 190 degrees
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: for 30 minutes. Why do I sit in it? Because
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it sucks. That's why.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: This is going to suck. This is going to be hard.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: But anything worth doing is hard. The reward requires work.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: It is going to suck. But suffering, and this suffering
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: in particular, is not for nothing. You know, when I
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: started out this podcast, I didn't know anything about podcasting.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: It's really kind of weird to talk to a, I mean,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I'm talking to all of you, but really in reality,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I'm talking to a camera and it's odd to get
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: used to. And Dan is the master of it all.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: And I had no idea what I was doing. Dan
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: had just seen a few of my Fox hits and
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: he said, you know, I think she's got some raw talent.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: And he took a chance on me. And Dan has
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: had a million times more confidence in me than I've
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: had in myself. But that encouragement, the risk-taking, the never-ending optimism,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the work ethic that he modeled, that has made this show,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I think, blossom and grow. And I'm so happy that
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: all of you are here listening with me. I have
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: learned so much about podcasting, but also about life from Dan.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: And I know that a lot of you are really
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: disappointed to see him go for a time. Dan is
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: a part of your routines. He's your news guy, but
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: also he's kind of like your friend. Maybe he's your
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: life coach. You probably have a kind of relationship with him,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: tuning in every day, listening, laughing, joking, but getting deep
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: and serious too. He's been part of your lives. He's
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: been part of my everyday life and Michael's everyday life.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: None of this is going to feel the same without Dan,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: but I hope that many of you will take a chance.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: on Haley, on myself. This network isn't going anywhere. We're
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: going to continue delivering excellent content for all of you.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: We're going to keep grinding. That's what the Banchino Network
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: is all about. That's what this team does. And when
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Dan comes back, we'll be that much stronger. And it's
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: not going to be forever. Think about it like a
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: military deployment, right? He's going out. He's got a completed mission.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: It's going to take some blood, sweat, and tears, but
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: he's coming back home. This isn't forever. He's doing this
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: for America, for our country, for all of us. The
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: FBI is a fully corrupted organization. I mean, how often
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: are Dan and I talking about this? It feels like
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: every day talking about how bad the FBI has become.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: This group has targeted half the country. I wouldn't be
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: surprised if Dan himself was on a list. Dan's been
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: one of the FBI's greatest critics, arguably the most prominent
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: critic in the entire country. And now he's number two
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: with the agency. So you better believe that radical, radical
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: change is coming. The political persecution is over, the weaponization
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: done for. But not only that, the agency is going
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: to finally start doing what it's supposed to do, which
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: is rooting out the network of illegal migrant gangs operating
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: across this country. Homicides, robberies, human trafficking, child sex abuse,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: investigating the Trump assassination attempts. We know nothing about them
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: so far. Still, we know nothing. And what we do know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: really sketchy, really concerning, makes you wonder, makes you wonder
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: So the FBI is in charge of investigating those assassination attempts,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and you better believe that Dan Bongino is going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: get to the bottom of both of them. The FBI
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: is going back to its mission. I'm 100% certain of this.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I also asked Dan this question point blank when he
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: announced it to all of us. I said, because I
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: had to hear it for myself, you guys. I know
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: what the answers but I had to hear it for myself.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I asked him, are you committed to radical disclosure? Dan
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: is committed to transparency with the American people. He told
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: me that. This is what Trump promised, and this is
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: what Dan and Cash are going to deliver to us
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: on all these issues, Epstein, 9-11, MLK, JFK, all of it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Could any of us have dreamed of a better team
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: to take on the FBI? I mean, Kash Patel and
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Dan Bongino, it couldn't be more perfect. So I know
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: this is a really bittersweet moment for the Bongino army.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I know it is for me and for Michael and
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: for Guy and Justin. It's going to be difficult. It's
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: really bittersweet, but this is also a time to celebrate.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: This is incredible news for America. The work, the suck,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: it has just begun, but I think the reward is
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: going to be massive. Let's take a quick break. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: heard somebody just comment, his sacrifice is our sacrifice. And,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: you know, I know that maybe that sounds a little
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: bit dramatic, but I do think it's true. You know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Dan Bongino is a part of our lives. He's a
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: part of our daily routines. It's going to suck. It's
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: going to be hard, but he's coming back. We just
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: have to get through this, like I said, deployment. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: it's going to be so much better and stronger here
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: at this company, but also for America. I'm so optimistic
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: about this change. And I'm really proud to call Dan
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: a colleague, a boss, a friend. It's really inspiring. Let's
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: get to some headlines. Who remembers the horrible earthquake in
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Haiti back in 2010? It was just devastating. If you
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: read Clinton Cash, you'll recall the amount of corruption around
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the aid raised to allegedly help the Haitians. The New
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: York Post just came out with an excellent piece about
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: USAID and its NGO partners like the Red Cross and
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: the way that they botched this entire relief effort. I
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: think a lot of us knew we had heard about
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: it in the headlines, like the aid wasn't getting to
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: the Haitians, but we weren't really putting the blame on
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: USAID in the way that we are now because we
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: have so much more information. $ 4. 4 billion was sent to
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Haiti after the earthquake and less than 2% of that
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: reached Haitians. 56% reportedly lined the pockets of DC firms.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: The Red Cross raised $ 500 million and they built six houses.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Six.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: And what happens is that the money from donations and
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: our tax dollars, they pass through these layers of connected
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: subcontracts as well as administrative overhead. So by the time
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the money reaches the people in need, there isn't much left.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: But then there's also corruption and there's fraud and all
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the opaqueness of USAID and its partners allows for that
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: to thrive, allows for the corruption to happen. And there's
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: been decades of USAID operating with virtually no oversight. They
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: skim funds. They don't follow through. Do you guys remember
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: when Michael Jackson put together that song with all the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: celebrities in the 80s?
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: We are the world.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: We are the children. Let's play that, Michael. you go
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: back and watch that video at the very beginning, you'll
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: see Michael Jackson. He's so impressed, unimpressed with Lionel Richie's
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: vocal performance. You just look at him, you can see
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: he's just like, watch the video, you'll see what I mean.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: But the point is that you have USAID, which was
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: heavily involved in the Ethiopian famine relief efforts during the mid-1980s,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: which included the aid efforts tied to We Are the
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: World and USA for Africa. And it was likely all
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: foreign aid operations, completely marred by mismanagement, inefficiencies, political entanglements, corruption.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: It was a disaster. It was a failure. Same goes
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: for when Justin Bieber and all those other celebrities decided
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: to remake We Are The World for Haiti in 2010.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: There comes a time when we heed a certain call
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: When the world must come together as.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: One Justin Bieber is very cute in that. He's very,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: he's cute. He's little, his voice is so sweet. Overall though,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: that video, that song, that remake was not as good
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: as the 1985 version. I will say it was like
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: all auto-tuned and bad. And I don't know, 2010's music,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: not as good as 1985. Either way though, 2010 and 1985,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: USAID and the entire government has gotten away with acting
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: like All their foreign aid is Cindy Lauper and Lionel
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Richie and Justin Bieber serenading us with, we are the
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: world and it feels good and we're helping people. That's
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: what it's supposed to feel that way. That's what it's
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: been billed to us as. But USAID isn't about helping people.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: It's about statecraft. They've lied to us about their true
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: intentions and goals. It's about influencing foreign governments. Really, I
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: think it's about corruption and embezzlement and a lot of
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: other things. USAID has... a budget that is roughly triple
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: the official size of the CIA. It's a left-wing slush fund.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: It was meant to combat communism during the Cold War, which, fine,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: that's an okay goal. But since then, it's become a
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: vehicle for fraud and left-wing, frankly, demonic political activism. And
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: those aren't American values. Those aren't American ideals. I'm cool
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: with exporting American culture abroad, but it has to be
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: authentic American culture. Transgender operas and atheism in Nepal... are
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: not American ideals and values. We are the children. No,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: we are financially responsible now. That's what we are. You know,
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: a big reason we have trouble properly exporting culture is
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: because the cultural movers and shakers, Hollywood, the music industry, fashion,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: has been overrun by cultural Marxists. Their priorities are poisonous.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Here was actress, producer, writer, director, comedian, Natasha Leovan. at
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: the Spirit Awards over the weekend on what concerns her
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: the most about the Trump admin.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Like when I think of the kids or like the
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: 12-year-old girl that can't get an abortion or something or,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: you know, that's what really like rips me apart that I, so,
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: but you know.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Really, Natasha? That's what rips you apart? The 12-year-old girl
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: who can't get an abortion? Chat. How do 12-year-old girls
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: get pregnant? How do they get pregnant?
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Abuse.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Abuse. Sexual abuse. And this is the liberal brain rot
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: that is abortion activism. Abortion only re-victimizes abuse victims, especially
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: if you're a 12-year-old girl. And why is it Natasha's
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: main concern that a 12-year-old was sexually abused? And they're
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: constantly preaching like this all the time at all of
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: their award shows, at every single interview. They just can't
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: stop with the Trump derangement. But it's not just Trump derangement.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: It almost feels like a contempt. And frankly, it is
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: a contempt. For the people who are supposed to be
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: consuming the media that they're creating. A hatred of the
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: way this country voted. And here's what I'll say about
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: art and artists. They've lost their way. And it's been
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: that way for a long time. This isn't a new phenomenon.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: This is not like, oh, really recently art and artists
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: have started to become really poisonous and bad at their jobs.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Ever since Friedrich Nietzsche declared God is dead, The modern
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: world has had no central, transcendent, moral, or existential anchor.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: We don't know why we're here. Life feels meaningless, and art,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: which is supposed to imbue meaning, suddenly became meaningless too.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: There was a time, probably in the early to mid-20th century,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: where art was articulating this existential despair, chaos, nihilism, as
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: global totalitarianism materialized in the most horrifying ways. I'm talking
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: two world wars. civilizational suicide of the West. But now
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: we're not even trying to articulate the existential crisis we're in.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Now you just have bananas duct taped to walls and
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: art galleries and selling for millions of dollars. That's not art.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: That's not an existential crisis. You're not articulating anything about
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: the culture that we're in.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Nothing.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: That is art. By the way, if you're looking, I'm
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: just showing some Renaissance paintings right now. That's art. Art
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: right now is fragmented and confused without a philosophical framework
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: to work off of, and instead of informing and guiding,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: it confuses. In the case of mainstream media, it's become
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: straight-up propaganda. Nothing is inspired. I'm talking movies, TV shows.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Here's how you know they're transfixed on propaganda. This was
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Jane Fonda at the Screen Actors Guild's awards last night.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: by the way, woke just means you give a damn
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: about other people. Have any of you ever watched a
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: documentary of one of the great social movements, like apartheid
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: or our civil rights movement or Stonewall, and asked yourself,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: would you have been brave enough to walk the bridge?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Would you have been able to take the hoses and
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: the batons and the dogs? We don't have to wonder
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: anymore because we are in our documentary moment.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: This is it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: And it's not a rehearsal. Our documentary moment, apartheid and
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: civil rights, really?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Really, guys?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: It's so self-important to me. They just view themselves as
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: just the center of the universe. You can tell every
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: time they open their mouths. And they view their role
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: in the country as the political police of the nation.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: They are the ones who can define our value system
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: and we have to follow it to a T. And
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: if we don't, if we dare vote for a candidate
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: that they don't pre-approve of, well, they're going to make
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: a documentary about it. They're going to, they're going to
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: make a bunch of movies and TV shows and music
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: decrying the culture that's not following their ethos in the,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: the elite circles of Hollywood and music industry. Hunter Schaefer,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: probably don't know her, but she's a very famous, him, sorry, him.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: He is a very, see, this is how they confuse you. Him,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Hunter Schaefer, is a very famous Gen Z transgender identifying man.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: And he just said this about Trump's passport rules, which
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: have been updated to require your government issued passport or
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: any ID to reflect biological reality. So here's what he
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: had to say. After finding out his passport says M
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: for mail now.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And I guess I'm just sort of scared of the
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: way this stuff like slowly gets implemented. You know, because
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: things just sort of like start happening. I think as
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: we've seen in like historical rises of fascism and this,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: sort of, you know, everything that this new administration kind
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: of represents.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: This new administration represents fascism. That's the message. More Trump
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: is Hitler. More fear-mongering. And this man was made a
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: celebrity by Hollywood for a reason. He's not some incredible actor.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: I watched Euphoria. Not that great. His identity is a
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: political message that they want to amplify in Hollywood. That
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: is the purpose. That's why he's in the position he's in.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: He's not a talent. That's not it. And what makes
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Trump so special is that he understands what he's up against.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: It's not just Joy Reid, whose show, by the way,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: was just canceled. He's up against an entire vapid, entrenched,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: and poisoned cultural landscape that's beyond just the corporate media,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: but everything. All the movers and shakers in culture. And
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: this is why he appointed him. Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: and John Voight as his ambassadors to Hollywood. Now, it's
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: still unclear exactly what the ambassadors to Hollywood are going
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: to do, but whatever it is, this is very on-brand
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: for President Trump. The stories we tell shape our reality.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Stories are real. They matter. They answer the questions of
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: who we are. I think if Trump's ambassadors stand a chance,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: they need to be Christian, It needs to be an
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: essential component of how we imbue meaning back into culture
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: and Hollywood and music and everything. But what I know
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: for sure is that Trump is taking this issue seriously.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: More seriously than any Republican alive has taken the culture.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: I think for decades, Republicans have not cared about sincerely
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: addressing the culture. They didn't get it. They didn't think
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: it was important. I don't know what it was. President
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Reagan was known as the great communicator, thanks to his
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: acting experience and his stage presence. But President Trump took
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: it to a new level. He's enabled a team of
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: communicators that surpasses Reagan's efforts. You're going to see a
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: lot of criticisms of Dan, just like you saw from
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Pete and from my dad, as well as the entire
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Trump admin. Questions about their past roles. How are they
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: relevant to the current ones that they hold? Trump's not
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: making picks like that. not going to pick somebody because
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: of how long they've been in the bureaucracy. That's frankly
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: not the experience he wants. Not this time around. He's
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: looking for competence, loyalty, and communication skills. Carolyn Leavitt, Tom Holman,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: my dad, Pete Hexeth, Dan Bongino, these are incredibly effective communicators,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: incredibly effective at advocating for for the administration's agenda dominating
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: media coverage. As Jeremy Karl writes in The American Mind,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Trump has created a new communications template for the GOP
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: after decades of being famously inarticulate. The new-look Republican Party
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: is flooding the zone with breaking news and almost instantaneous
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: responses to criticisms that the regime media cannot even begin
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: to effectively counter. We have a message and a stride,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: and it is incredible to witness. And you know, Dan
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Bongino is only going to enhance the transparency and communication
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: efforts of this administration. This is incredibly positive news for
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: the American people. He is a believer. He is a patriot.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: He's going to do the right thing. And he has
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: experience in the federal government, by the way, important experience.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: This man has a career in law enforcement. And he
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: also was going to be able to effectively reach the
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: American people. And I think a way that is unprecedented.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: On the flip side of this, progressives are an absolute
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: train wreck. Currently, governor of Wisconsin, Wisconsin's where I grew up,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers, has proposed a budget that
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: replaces the word mother with the term inseminated person, as
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: well as paternity with parentage, wife and husband for spouse,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: parent in the place of father, and parent who gave
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: birth to the child also in place of mother as
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: well as inseminated person. Who are they winning with this?
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Who are they winning with? They continue to clown themselves.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Here is the number one most stupid member of Congress,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: and it's no, it's not AOC. Dan Bongino has dubbed
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: it AOC on this show, Bongino Report Early Edition. It
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: is Jasmine Crockett through and through. Here is what she
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: had to say about Republican voters. their ability to learn
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: the facts.
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: You look at who's voting for who the less educated folk.
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: And when I say educated, I'm not even talking about
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: formal education. I'm talking about people that literally don't want
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those are the
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: people that typically vote for the Republicans. And it's one
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: of the reasons that we have to stop writing in
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: theses as Democrats.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: Like we want to give you every single little detail
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: that we can find so that you can have all
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: the information. But the reality is that the average person
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: that is going out there and voting, they're not paying
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: attention to that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Okay. How many of you think that Jasmine Crockett has
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: read a book any time since graduating college? Did she
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: even go to college? I don't know. I wouldn't be
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: surprised if she didn't. This woman has, I don't think,
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: ever picked up a book recreationally. And she's going to
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: tell Republicans that they're the illiterate ones? I mean, are
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: we joking right now? And again, also demeaning to the
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: voters that she's trying to court. Oh, they just don't
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: read books. They don't understand the facts.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: We are not in the business of giving out money.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Remember she said that recently about the $ 5, 000
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: refunds that President Trump may or may not give out
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: to the American people for the waste, fraud, and abuse
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: that they've uncovered? She said, oh, we're in the business
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: of giving out money. Democrats are in the business of
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: giving out money. What are you talking about, Jasmine? That's
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: all you do. That's all they run on is handing
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: out free money. And this isn't even free money. This
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: is a refund for the American people who have been
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: defrauded out of our tax dollars. Ilhan Omar had a
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: really similar take. Here she was this week.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: These people are just idiots.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: I really, you know, I'm at the point where it's
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: of these people because the level of stupidity that they
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: are displaying every single day is frankly embarrassing, not just.
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: In Congress, but as Americans, and the fact that these
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: tells you that the dumbing of the United States has
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: arrived because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: And she's no joke saying this, coming from the party
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: that wants us to use the term parent who gave
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: birth to the child, an inseminated person instead of mother.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Really? And we're the stupid ones. Elitist, condescending, divorced from reality.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: They become caricatures of themselves. I think there's a lot
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: of momentum behind us right now. Our message is great.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: The public is fed up with the left and the
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: zeitgeist is shifting. It's shifting. The art does need to
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: catch up. It does. A moral and philosophical underpinning needs
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: to be once again present. And these battles that we're
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: going to engage in for those long-term goals, they're going
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: to suck.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: It all sucks.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: But we aren't on Earth to be happy. It's this
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: obsession with happiness and distractions and cheap dopamine hits that
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: makes us unhappy. It's like Jan said, when you recognize
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: that you're not going to always be happy, and that's
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: not the purpose of life on Earth, that you really
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: are able to enjoy the joys of life. And that's
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: all I have for you guys today. Make sure to like,
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: and follow this podcast. My ex and Instagram is Evita
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Duffy underscore one. If you want to follow me there, uh,

• 29:27
  Speaker 4: explain to you all today on his show at 11 AM.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: And like I just said before, we're going to keep
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: plugging away. This show is going to continue. Haley's show
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: is going to announce more things are coming. And I
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: just hope that you guys stick with us. The content

  Speaker 4: is going to continue to be excellent and high quality.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: We're going to keep things running until Dan comes back.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: And I hope that you'll stick with us until then.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: And know that this is only going to make us stronger,
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: I think. And that's all I have for you guys today.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much for bearing with me. I think
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: we have a new record today. Close to a new record. Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Based off of the election, post-election, we had a big
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: audience too. So thank you all for tuning in. I
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: hope that was enlightening. I'll see you all tomorrow. We're back.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Dan Bongino is back here with us. You guys, this
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: is huge news. And he wanted to have something to
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: say while we're still having live on this show.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: One, it's my fault. So I did tell Avita, you
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: know how I am about time. Me and you were like,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: if you're five minutes early, you're 10 minutes late. So
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I- Obviously, we're dealing with a lot of logistics stuff
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: since last night, but I just want to take this
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: opportunity on Evita's show. I know she gave you kind
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: of an update on what's happening. I'll give you a
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: more complete rundown on my show. We had a long
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: conversation last night, but I wanted to thank you for
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: being a friend first, you and your family both, you
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and Michael. You guys are amazing. Nothing's going to stop,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: as she told you, with Evita's show. Everything is status
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: quo there. Evita's her own separate. show, product. You guys
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: know her. You love her. I'll explain more later. And
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: just hang in there, Bongino Army. I hope you understand.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I would have loved to tell you more earlier, but
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I think you get it. There's a lot going on
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: right now, and it's bigger than me. So thank you
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: for everything you've done. Her show is a top new
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: launch news podcast. I appreciate it. I was a little
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: bit late, but I think you all understand. So Thank you, Evita.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael. I walked in, she's like, we just
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: missed it. She's like, I'm not good at like small
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: talk and filibuster. I said, good, either am I. So
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate it, guys. I'll see you in a
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: little bit on the Dan Bongino show. And thank you
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: and your family and Michael. You're awesome. You're amazing. And
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: nothing's going to change.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Dan. And I told everybody on the show,
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: we are all so grateful for the sacrifice that you
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: are making for this country. It is such a, I mean,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: I know probably better than most what it's like on
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: your family and to have that time apart. And but
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: also to step away from this empire that you've built
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: and the team that we've created here. But it's not
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: going to end. We're going to get stronger from this,
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: I think. And that's what it is. I mean, Dan,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: you talk about all the time the suck and how things,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: the best things in life are hard. And that's what
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: we have to do right now. We have to do
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: it for this country. We're going to sacrifice here at
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: the network. You guys are going to with Dan not
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: being part of your daily routine anymore, but he's going
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: to come back. And I think we're going to be
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: even better for it.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate it. Love you guys. See you
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. Thanks, Evita. Thanks, Michael.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: See you guys.

• 32:23
  Speaker 6: I'm your host, Megan Klingenberg, and I am super stoked
• 32:26
