- 0:26Speaker 1: And Representative Annapolina Luna SLAM's Pam Bondi were not releasing
- 0:32Speaker 1: Epstein and JFK files. All this on the Bongino Report,
- 0:36Speaker 1: early edition. Who would you say are some of the
- 0:51Speaker 1: thought leaders of the right?
- 0:54Speaker 2: Who has the most cultural sway? Whose voice?
- 0:58Speaker 1: Is the largest guiding force in the country. That's not
- 1:02Speaker 1: a rhetorical question.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Drop a comment.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Give me your ideas.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Who do you think it is? I think there's several
- 1:07Speaker 2: that come to mind, more than one.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson is undoubtedly, however, one of those voices, a
- 1:16Speaker 1: sincere thought leader of the political right.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Now, he's a writing.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Thesis and books philosophizing about the times that we're living in.
- 1:25Speaker 1: That's not the kind of thought leader I'm talking about.
- 1:27Speaker 1: but he is an incredible communicator with a massive audience.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And I think what he did best at Fox News
- 1:35Speaker 1: and still today with incredible talent is he's able to
- 1:38Speaker 1: take ideas from the new right, which is often very
- 1:42Speaker 1: young and the ideas are oftentimes coming from social media
- 1:45Speaker 1: and Reddit and X, and he's able to translate those
- 1:49Speaker 1: ideas to older audiences. I think he's helped bridge the
- 1:54Speaker 1: gap between generations and unite us on the political right.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. My grandmother and grandfather on
- 2:01Speaker 1: my mom's side were neocons. My grandmother loved George Bush
- 2:06Speaker 1: so much that she named her cat George. And in 2015,
- 2:11Speaker 1: they were really wary of President Trump. Didn't quite get
- 2:14Speaker 1: him back then. Didn't make a lot of sense.
- 2:16Speaker 2: He's bombastic, indifferent.
- 2:18Speaker 1: And he was saying that things like, we never should
- 2:21Speaker 1: have been in the Iraq war.
- 2:22Speaker 2: That was a mistake.
- 2:22Speaker 1: That was really radical to hear. back in 2015. And
- 2:27Speaker 1: that's understandable. It was watching Tucker Carlson that helped them
- 2:33Speaker 1: start to evolve and to identify less with establishment Republicans
- 2:38Speaker 1: and more with the populist Trump.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Brand of politics.
- 2:43Speaker 1: And all this is to say that Tucker has been
- 2:46Speaker 1: a massive force within the movement, an indispensable asset. Now,
- 2:51Speaker 1: probably a name that doesn't come to mind when I
- 2:54Speaker 1: ask you Who is a thought leader of the political
- 2:58Speaker 1: right is Dan Crenshaw.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Nobody says that.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Maybe if I asked you, who's the worst Republican representative
- 3:05Speaker 1: in Congress?
- 3:06Speaker 2: Some might throw that name out. Who's the most hawkish?
- 3:10Speaker 2: Who loves foreign wars the most?
- 3:12Speaker 1: Perhaps Dan Crenshaw takes the cake there. But certainly he
- 3:16Speaker 1: is not a thought leader of the right.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So you'd think that a man like.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw Maybe he disagrees with Tucker Carlson on certain issues,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but he'd have some respect for the contributions that Tucker
- 3:29Speaker 1: Carlson made to conservatism and to America over the last
- 3:32Speaker 1: few years.
- 3:33Speaker 2: And you would be wrong.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Here's what Dan Crenshaw said into a hot mic yesterday
- 3:39Speaker 1: during an interview with GB News.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Have you ever met Tucker?
- 3:54Speaker 1: Okay, so if you're listening, it might have been a
- 3:56Speaker 1: little hard to hear, especially if you didn't have the
- 3:59Speaker 1: subtitles at the bottom, but it was a hot mic,
- 4:01Speaker 1: so a little bit difficult to hear, but he said,
- 4:03Speaker 1: if I ever meet him, I'll effing kill him, in
- 4:09Speaker 1: reference to Tucker Carlson.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Why?
- 4:13Speaker 1: Why? Because he isn't obsessed with Ukraine like you are,
- 4:17Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw?
- 4:18Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 4:18Speaker 1: He doesn't want to send billions of more dollars on
- 4:25Speaker 1: the taxpayer's dime to a foreign country for a war
- 4:27Speaker 1: that we can't win? Here's what Tucker Carlson wrote on
- 4:31Speaker 1: X in response. Why don't you come sit for an.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Interview and we'll see how you do? I'll send you
- 4:36Speaker 2: my address at Dan Crenshaw. That's what Tucker said. He
- 4:39Speaker 2: invited him for an interview. And I'd love to see it.
- 4:42Speaker 2: But I have a feeling that Mr. Crenshaw.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Representative Crenshaw is all talk. He doesn't like interviews where
- 4:49Speaker 1: people push back on him. And let's just say I
- 4:51Speaker 1: have really good reason for saying that.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Trust me on this one.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I have a personal reason for saying Tan Crenshaw does
- 5:00Speaker 1: not like interviews where there is any remote sense of pushback.
- 5:04Speaker 1: He is a prima donna who cannot handle tough questions
- 5:08Speaker 1: from journalists.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I know that. I can't tell you why.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Trust me on this one. I don't think there's going
- 5:14Speaker 1: to be a Dan Crenshaw, Tucker Carlson, Sedan interview. Here
- 5:18Speaker 1: was Dan Crenshaw in this same GB News interview on
- 5:21Speaker 1: why we should fund Ukraine's borders while our borders still
- 5:26Speaker 1: are not secure.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Just coming back to this $ 100 billion to Ukraine, I
- 5:29Speaker 3: know that people like Tucker Carlson would make the argument
- 5:32Speaker 3: there's a real opportunity cost there. We could have spent
- 5:34Speaker 3: that money on the border or fixing issues in America.
- 5:38Speaker 3: What do you make of that argument that all this
- 5:40Speaker 3: money could have been spent to help Americans and not Ukrainians?
- 5:44Speaker 6: You can walk and.
- 5:44Speaker 7: Chew bubble gum at the same time. We spend 75,
- 5:50Speaker 7: 80% of our budget on a welfare state in America,
- 5:54Speaker 7: on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. I would love to
- 5:57Speaker 7: ask Tucker what he thinks that $ 100 billion should be
- 5:59Speaker 7: spent on it if he would vote for it as
- 6:01Speaker 7: a conservative. Tucker doesn't know what he's talking about. Tucker
- 6:05Speaker 7: likes to visit Moscow and talk about how great the
- 6:07Speaker 7: grocery stores are. So I don't really take his advice
- 6:09Speaker 7: very seriously.
- 6:10Speaker 1: I've heard this argument remarkably often. from people in the
- 6:15Speaker 1: old right, the neocon, the uniparty right wing of the Republicans.
- 6:21Speaker 2: We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Can we?
- 6:25Speaker 1: Because we're $ 36 trillion in debt.
- 6:29Speaker 2: And Dan Crouch just says, oh, we can afford it.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Dude, what?
- 6:33Speaker 2: What do you mean we can just afford?
- 6:34Speaker 1: We are in a really serious financial situation in this country.
- 6:39Speaker 1: This is what Donald Trump is doing with Doge. We're
- 6:42Speaker 1: trying to cut back. on the waist, and Dan Crunch
- 6:44Speaker 1: is like, we can handle it.
- 6:46Speaker 2: And then he attacks the welfare state.
- 6:49Speaker 1: And boy, you guys, let me just tell you, as
- 6:51Speaker 1: an America First conservative, is that enraging. And I'm going
- 6:55Speaker 1: to be straight with you. The entitlement programs need massive reform.
- 7:00Speaker 1: As a Gen Z-er, you know, I'm coming from a
- 7:02Speaker 1: different place with this one than many of you are
- 7:04Speaker 1: who are in the chat, but everyone in my generation
- 7:08Speaker 1: understands and is fully aware of that we are going
- 7:11Speaker 1: to be paying for older Americans our entire lives, and
- 7:14Speaker 1: never are we going to see that money for ourselves.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Social Security is going to be insolvent by 2035. So
- 7:18Speaker 1: I'm acknowledging that.
- 7:20Speaker 2: There are problems.
- 7:21Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, Dan Crenshaw. Older people in this country
- 7:25Speaker 1: who aren't Gen Z or millennials, who haven't spent their
- 7:27Speaker 1: whole lives knowing that they're never going to see these entitlements,
- 7:30Speaker 1: those are the people they rely on the entitlements. They
- 7:34Speaker 1: need them for their retirement. They're depending on it. Why
- 7:41Speaker 1: is the war in Ukraine supposedly, in Dan Crenshaw's eyes,
- 7:45Speaker 1: coming before human beings in this country who are counting
- 7:51Speaker 1: on those entitlements?
- 7:52Speaker 2: And like I said, they need reform.
- 7:56Speaker 1: But that Ukraine is going to be the priority over
- 8:00Speaker 1: the livelihoods of Americans who have spent their entire lives
- 8:04Speaker 1: counting on this is patently insane. This country is financially
- 8:10Speaker 1: out of control, entitlements need reform, but that doesn't mean, therefore,
- 8:14Speaker 1: we should fund whatever foreign wars Dan Crenshaw is interested in.
- 8:17Speaker 1: A war, by the way, that is pitting Russia further
- 8:23Speaker 1: and further against the West, a war that never could
- 8:26Speaker 1: have been won by Ukraine, a war that ultimately is
- 8:29Speaker 1: pretty irrelevant to the United States and the other side
- 8:31Speaker 1: of the world. There was no reason for us to
- 8:32Speaker 1: be involved as much as we were. And now Dan
- 8:35Speaker 1: Crenshaw is mad that we're not sending more money to Ukraine.
- 8:38Speaker 1: And he's suggesting that we take away entitlements from people
- 8:40Speaker 1: who count on them in this country so we can
- 8:44Speaker 1: fund more in Ukraine. It is an insane America-last policy. Really,
- 8:50Speaker 1: it's a disregard for humanity, for human life, for real
- 8:54Speaker 1: Americans here, and an obsession with the war machine, with
- 9:00Speaker 1: the military-industrial complex that, frankly, I have a lot of
- 9:05Speaker 1: trouble understanding.
- 9:07Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break.
- 9:08Speaker 1: When we come back, I have the most insane story
- 9:11Speaker 1: to share with you guys about the NSA and its
- 9:15Speaker 1: secret sex chat. I kid you not, it's secret sex chat.
- 9:19Speaker 2: And I'm going to read to you exactly what was
- 9:21Speaker 2: in this sex chat. Do not go anywhere. We'll be
- 9:24Speaker 2: right back.
- 9:24Speaker 1: This next story, you guys, I promise you, this is
- 9:27Speaker 1: one of the craziest things I have seen in the
- 9:29Speaker 1: last few weeks. Is it the National Security Agency or
- 9:33Speaker 1: are we going to have to rename it the National
- 9:34Speaker 1: Sex Chat Agency?
- 9:36Speaker 2: We might have to.
- 9:38Speaker 1: I think we're going to have to rename it because
- 9:40Speaker 1: the NSA has just been exposed for having a secret
- 9:42Speaker 1: transgender sex chat room in which NSA, CIA, and DIA
- 9:46Speaker 1: employees discuss genital castration, artificial vaginas, piss fetishes, sex polycules,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and gang bangs, all on government time and the taxpayer's dime.
- 9:58Speaker 1: This story is wild. So Chris Ruffo and Hannah Grossman
- 10:03Speaker 1: obtained logs from this secret chat room from sources within
- 10:07Speaker 1: the National Security Agency, one current employee and one former employee.
- 10:12Speaker 1: And just before I get into this, Understand that the
- 10:17Speaker 1: intelligence community is one of the most powerful parts of
- 10:20Speaker 1: the American national security apparatus. And the NSA specifically has
- 10:24Speaker 1: been caught illegally surveilling U.S. citizens for years. This is
- 10:28Speaker 1: what Edward Snowden exposed to the public. And it has
- 10:33Speaker 1: not stopped. Just a couple of years ago, Tucker Carlson said,
- 10:36Speaker 1: the NSA, speaking of Tucker Carlson, said that the NSA
- 10:39Speaker 1: was spying on his communications, including his encrypted messages, related
- 10:45Speaker 1: to him trying to set up an interview with President Putin,
- 10:48Speaker 1: surveilling him, allegedly.
- 10:50Speaker 2: So it has not stopped. We know it's continuing.
- 10:53Speaker 1: We know it continues, especially under FISA Section 702, where
- 10:55Speaker 1: you can surveil foreign nationals, but then if they communicate
- 11:00Speaker 1: with an American citizen, well, then you can spy on
- 11:02Speaker 1: those messages as well, getting around the Constitution.
- 11:05Speaker 2: They are completely rogue.
- 11:07Speaker 1: So I'm going to read to you guys all of
- 11:08Speaker 1: these secret, well, not all of them, but some of them,
- 11:10Speaker 1: some of these secret chat room communications from people, mind you,
- 11:13Speaker 1: with top-secret security clearances. So one popular chat topic was
- 11:18Speaker 1: male-to-female transgender surgery, which involves surgically removing the penis and
- 11:23Speaker 1: turning it into an artificial vagina. Somebody said, one male
- 11:27Speaker 1: who claimed to have a transgender reconstructive surgery.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Said, mine is everything.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I found that I like being penetrated, but all the
- 11:35Speaker 1: rest is just as important as well. Another intelligence official
- 11:40Speaker 1: boasted that genital surgery allowed him to wear leggings or
- 11:43Speaker 1: bikinis without having to wear a gaff under it.
- 11:47Speaker 2: These employees discussed hair removal.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Estrogen injections, the experience of sexual pleasure post-castration. Quote, Getting
- 11:57Speaker 1: my butthole zapped by a laser was shocking, said one
- 12:01Speaker 1: transgender-identifying Intel employee who spent thousands on hair removal. Another
- 12:08Speaker 1: about estrogen treatment said, Look, I just enjoy helping other
- 12:12Speaker 1: people experience boobs.
- 12:15Speaker 2: One of the weirdest things.
- 12:16Speaker 1: That gives me euphoria is when I pee, I don't
- 12:18Speaker 1: have to push anything down to make sure it aims right,
- 12:21Speaker 1: a Defense Intelligence Agency employee added. Per the NSA sources,
- 12:26Speaker 1: the sex chat was legitimized as part of the agency's
- 12:31Speaker 1: commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. And these guys reportedly
- 12:36Speaker 1: spent all day recruiting activists and holding meetings with titles
- 12:40Speaker 1: like such as privilege, ally awareness, pride, transgender community inclusion.
- 12:45Speaker 2: I mean, this is just insanity.
- 12:48Speaker 1: And they did so with the full support of NSA leadership,
- 12:52Speaker 1: which declared that DEI was not only mission critical, but
- 12:56Speaker 1: mission imperative. Chris Ruffo notes that in this case, diversity
- 13:00Speaker 1: was not a byword for racialism, but rather a euphemism
- 13:04Speaker 1: for sex talk. DEI is just talking about sex with
- 13:08Speaker 1: your coworkers. Last January, Chat room members discussed their practice
- 13:13Speaker 1: of polyamory, so sexual relationships with multiple people at once.
- 13:17Speaker 1: The active source of the NSA claimed to have witnessed
- 13:20Speaker 1: hundreds of sexually provocative discussions, which Rufo adds occurred mostly
- 13:24Speaker 1: on taxpayer time. And in one chat, an NSA employee
- 13:28Speaker 1: insists on using it, the it pronoun, in lieu of
- 13:32Speaker 1: he or she pronouns. These are people abusing their power,
- 13:38Speaker 1: spying on us. with top secret security clearances, and they
- 13:42Speaker 1: want to be called it. And they're talking about polyamory
- 13:45Speaker 1: and cutting off their genitalia. How many of you could
- 13:49Speaker 1: start talking about sex and fetishes with your coworkers? If
- 13:53Speaker 1: I started up a sex chat room here at Bongino,
- 13:57Speaker 1: Dan Apollo would fire me. It's not appropriate. So why
- 14:00Speaker 1: is it appropriate at the highest levels of government? Our
- 14:05Speaker 1: intel agencies appear to be full of creepy left-wing activists
- 14:10Speaker 1: who really belong in the gender department at Berkeley, not
- 14:12Speaker 1: in our government, and also just straight up mentally ill people.
- 14:16Speaker 1: And it makes you feel so unsafe. And I'm glad
- 14:18Speaker 1: that Trump's in there. I hope that he roots all
- 14:20Speaker 1: this out. At the same time, I think, is it
- 14:23Speaker 1: even possible? You have that many people who are enabling
- 14:27Speaker 1: and being a part of a sex chat room at
- 14:31Speaker 1: the NSA, the CIA, and they're in charge of our security.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Can we fire everyone?
- 14:39Speaker 2: I mean, this is so entrenched. It runs so deep.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I'm almost concerned it's not going to be possible to
- 14:48Speaker 1: root out the rot. So pray for this admin. You
- 14:53Speaker 1: can't fire, you can fire everyone in the sex chat room, sure,
- 14:57Speaker 1: but you won't be able to fix everything. I think
- 14:59Speaker 1: that this is going to be probably decades in the making.
- 15:03Speaker 1: And we're going to need more than a Trump admin,
- 15:05Speaker 1: but another right-wing admin just as committed to rooting out
- 15:09Speaker 1: this rot. We are dealing with a leviathan, a bureaucratic monstrosity,
- 15:14Speaker 1: the largest human organization of all time. Here's what I mean.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Yesterday, CNN ran this article.
- 15:22Speaker 1: It's titled, How Trump's Government Cutting Moves Risk Exposing the
- 15:26Speaker 1: CIA's Secrets. This is not just a news write-up. I
- 15:34Speaker 1: want you guys to pay attention to this. The article
- 15:36Speaker 1: is actually, from CNN, a threat. I'm going to read
- 15:41Speaker 1: an excerpt of it to you guys. As the CIA
- 15:44Speaker 1: weighs staff cuts, current and former intelligence officials say that
- 15:47Speaker 1: mass firings could offer a rich recruitment opportunity for foreign
- 15:51Speaker 1: intelligence services like China or Russia, who may seek to
- 15:55Speaker 1: exploit financially vulnerable or resentful former employees. And the piece
- 15:59Speaker 1: goes on, it says, on the CIA's seventh floor, home
- 16:02Speaker 1: to top leadership, some officers are also quietly discussing how
- 16:05Speaker 1: mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk
- 16:09Speaker 1: creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be
- 16:12Speaker 1: motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.
- 16:16Speaker 1: As Molly Hemingway tweets, so quiet that CNN heard it
- 16:20Speaker 1: and broadcast it. And just to recap, CNN just stated
- 16:26Speaker 1: that Trump should keep everyone employed in the intelligence apparatus,
- 16:30Speaker 1: because if he doesn't, former CIA agents will spill U.S.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Secrets to our enemies abroad. What do we call that chat?
- 16:37Speaker 2: What is that?
- 16:39Speaker 1: That is called a threat. Now, why is CNN delivering
- 16:43Speaker 1: this threat? Well, as Beth Brelia, I hope I'm saying
- 16:47Speaker 1: your last name right, and The Federalist reported, if Trump
- 16:51Speaker 1: fires CNN's sources, it will be harder for the media
- 16:54Speaker 1: to collude with the intelligence community to craft propaganda to
- 16:56Speaker 1: sell to the public. The connection between CNN and the
- 16:59Speaker 1: deep state has been too cozy for too long. So
- 17:02Speaker 1: of course, CNN is in on this. They stand to
- 17:06Speaker 1: lose just as much as these fired former intelligence officials.
- 17:10Speaker 1: And just to recap, you guys know the role that
- 17:13Speaker 1: CNN played in promoting the Russia collusion hoax. And Beth
- 17:17Speaker 1: actually dissected this article and found that CNN attributed information
- 17:20Speaker 1: to their anonymous rogue CIA sources 18 times. In other words,
- 17:24Speaker 1: they made propaganda assertions 18 times. I'll just read you
- 17:28Speaker 1: some of these. A source familiar with the matter told CNN.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Some officers. Sources familiar with the matter said. Former intelligence
- 17:35Speaker 1: officials said. Said one former.
- 17:37Speaker 2: CIA officer speaking hypothetically.
- 17:39Speaker 1: One U.S.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Official said. Former officials noted.
- 17:41Speaker 1: But do you see the game that they're playing? These
- 17:44Speaker 1: are career propagandists promoting government propaganda. So that they can
- 17:49Speaker 1: continue profiting off of said propaganda. And by the way,
- 17:53Speaker 1: this is different. from the Chris Ruffer report, where the
- 17:56Speaker 1: whistleblowers provided him with evidence. He's reporting on the chatroom
- 18:00Speaker 1: messages that he saw with his own eyes. These CNN reporters,
- 18:05Speaker 1: they're just amplifying opinions and threats as fact. All these
- 18:12Speaker 1: intel guys who participated in the CNN piece are treasonous weasels.
- 18:17Speaker 1: They need to be rooted out. They have no loyalty
- 18:19Speaker 1: to this country, clearly. And I hope Trump can find
- 18:21Speaker 1: these guys.
- 18:23Speaker 2: And fire them.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Because that won't only make a country safer, it will
- 18:29Speaker 1: be the nail in the coffin for places like CNN. Alright,
- 18:34Speaker 1: something strange happened over the weekend that is now going viral.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Trump hosted the National Governors Association dinner and reception at
- 18:42Speaker 1: the White House Saturday night.
- 18:44Speaker 2: And at this event, the U.S.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Army chorus performed Do You Hear the People Sing from
- 18:49Speaker 1: the musical Les Mis.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Take a listen.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Okay, so online leftists have interpreted this as an act
- 19:08Speaker 1: of protest against a Trump admin on behalf of the army.
- 19:12Speaker 2: And it isn't hard to imagine why.
- 19:14Speaker 1: These are some of the lyrics from that song they
- 19:17Speaker 1: were singing. Do you hear the people sing, singing a
- 19:19Speaker 1: song of angry men? It is the music of a
- 19:21Speaker 1: people who will not be slaves again. When the beating
- 19:24Speaker 1: of your heart echoes the beating of the drums, there
- 19:28Speaker 1: is a life about to start when tomorrow comes. So
- 19:31Speaker 1: some people, and this really bothers me, are saying that
- 19:33Speaker 1: Les Mis is a symbol of revolution. This is not true.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Democrat representative Jim McGovern tweeted this. They picked Les Mis,
- 19:42Speaker 1: a musical about standing up to tyranny. They protested you,
- 19:45Speaker 1: meaning President Trump, at your own event, and you were
- 19:48Speaker 1: too stupid to get it.
- 19:49Speaker 2: Okay, well, Ms.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Jim McGovern, Representative McGovern, is too stupid to get the
- 19:54Speaker 1: point of Les Mis. Les Mis is actually a story
- 19:58Speaker 1: about how collectivist uprisings, like the June Rebellion, which is
- 20:02Speaker 1: what Les Mis is about, can lead to the destruction
- 20:05Speaker 1: of individual humanity and moral integrity. It highlights the chaos
- 20:09Speaker 1: and violence of these movements, emphasizing how collective ideals can
- 20:13Speaker 1: justify really evil things. The protagonist, John Valjean, is a
- 20:17Speaker 1: good man because he values personal redemption and compassion over
- 20:22Speaker 1: political dogma. That is the message of this novel turned
- 20:25Speaker 1: play and movie. The author of Les Mis, Victor Hugo,
- 20:30Speaker 1: is critiquing this idea of sacrificing individual lives for abstract
- 20:34Speaker 1: political goals because true change really lies in revolutionizing people's hearts,
- 20:41Speaker 1: people becoming better people, rather than blind adherence to revolutionary
- 20:46Speaker 1: political ideals. But unfortunately, Les Mis has been misconstrued by
- 20:51Speaker 1: the culture, by the public, by leftists a lot, as
- 20:54Speaker 1: this revolutionary novel, play, and movie, and now everyone is confused,
- 20:58Speaker 1: and so colloquially, it has become a symbol of political revolution. Specifically,
- 21:03Speaker 1: that song, Do You Hear the People Sing?, has become
- 21:06Speaker 1: a symbol of revolution. So it's possible that the director
- 21:10Speaker 1: of the U.S. Army Corps did this as an act
- 21:12Speaker 1: of defiance.
- 21:13Speaker 2: It is possible.
- 21:15Speaker 1: The song hasn't been officially perceived that way by the
- 21:18Speaker 1: White House, and the White House does approve the set list.
- 21:21Speaker 2: So the intent here is unclear.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I don't think maybe that she, I hope that she
- 21:25Speaker 1: didn't mean it that way, but I'm, Trump does like
- 21:28Speaker 1: the song. So it's possible that he was totally fine
- 21:31Speaker 1: with it. I'm sensitive to the issue though, because It's
- 21:35Speaker 1: being perceived within and outside the government as an act
- 21:38Speaker 1: of defiance.
- 21:38Speaker 2: And that's a problem.
- 21:41Speaker 1: That can be an encouraging thing for people within our
- 21:44Speaker 1: government who want to do bad things and hurt this admin.
- 21:47Speaker 1: And we know that there's mass insubordination right now.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Throughout the government.
- 21:50Speaker 1: And we really have to view this as not just
- 21:55Speaker 1: insubordination to Trump, but to the American people. We elected
- 21:59Speaker 1: Trump and the bureaucracy is fighting the leader that we selected.
- 22:04Speaker 1: And on that topic, televisions within the Department of Housing
- 22:08Speaker 1: and Urban Development recently displayed AI footage of Trump kissing
- 22:12Speaker 1: Elon Musk's feet. And the video display reads, long live
- 22:16Speaker 1: the real king, meaning Elon Musk. An unnamed HUD employee
- 22:21Speaker 1: who provided Wired with the video that I'm playing right now,
- 22:24Speaker 1: claimed that federal workers were forced to manually turn off
- 22:27Speaker 1: each television to stop the video from playing. So presumably
- 22:30Speaker 1: someone within HUD, within the agency, Put this up on
- 22:34Speaker 1: the televisions. Now, again, why would someone in HUD do this? Well,
- 22:37Speaker 1: approximately 4,000 HUD employees are expected to be laid off
- 22:41Speaker 1: due to cuts.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Being implemented by Doge. So they're angry. They're angry at Elon.
- 22:46Speaker 2: They're angry at Trump. They're insubordinate.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I think whoever is responsible for the video needs to
- 22:52Speaker 1: be found and fired. There is a disrespect for President Trump,
- 22:56Speaker 1: but also for us. We covered yesterday Jasmine Crockett and
- 23:01Speaker 1: Ilhan Omar. saying half the country is stupid and doesn't
- 23:04Speaker 1: read or listen to facts, says the people who can't
- 23:07Speaker 1: interpret Les Mis, I might add. But this is how
- 23:10Speaker 1: they view us. They don't believe in democracy or the
- 23:13Speaker 1: will of the people. These are agents of chaos, left-wing
- 23:17Speaker 1: social activists mixed with snobby bureaucrats who feel above the
- 23:20Speaker 1: law and accountability and election results.
- 23:23Speaker 2: They're totally rogue.
- 23:26Speaker 1: By the way, here are CNN hosts claiming that it
- 23:29Speaker 1: was abusive. for Elon Musk to email all federal workers
- 23:33Speaker 1: requesting five bullets of what they accomplished that week. Take
- 23:36Speaker 1: a listen.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Scott, have you ever gotten an email from someone that said,
- 23:53Speaker 4: you better do this or else you're going to resign?
- 23:55Speaker 8: Yeah, it's called having a boss.
- 23:56Speaker 2: It's called having a boss in the private sector. From
- 23:58Speaker 2: someone who's not your boss?
- 24:01Speaker 6: Well, the White House is every federal worker's boss. That's
- 24:03Speaker 6: number one.
- 24:04Speaker 5: Elon Musk is.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Not anybody's boss.
- 24:07Speaker 4: Scott, how is Elon going to evaluate? I mean, how
- 24:11Speaker 4: is he going to evaluate the work of thousands of
- 24:14Speaker 4: federal employees when he has no idea what they do?
- 24:15Speaker 1: He's not.
- 24:16Speaker 6: The test was. Are you even paying attention to your email?
- 24:19Speaker 4: Are you even at your terminal? Well, you know, some
- 24:20Speaker 4: federal workers, she sent it on a weekend. Some federal
- 24:22Speaker 4: workers do not have access to their emails on the weekends.
- 24:25Speaker 4: They just don't.
- 24:25Speaker 6: Well, did they go to work today? I mean, look,
- 24:27Speaker 6: the amount of outrage melting down and sort of outpouring
- 24:32Speaker 6: of emotion over this ought to tell you everything you
- 24:34Speaker 6: need to know. We had a lady on CNN today,
- 24:36Speaker 6: a supposed federal worker, who said she was infuriated by
- 24:41Speaker 6: getting this email. She had time to go on CNN,
- 24:43Speaker 6: but she didn't have time to send a 30-second email saying, well,
- 24:45Speaker 6: here's what I was working on last week. This is
- 24:47Speaker 6: what people in the private sector have come to hate
- 24:50Speaker 6: about how they view the public sector. And I think
- 24:53Speaker 6: there's a great many very dedicated public servants. But you said,
- 24:58Speaker 6: you know, it's about control. Yes, it's about control. And
- 25:00Speaker 6: it's about finding out who is actually at their job
- 25:03Speaker 6: working and who isn't. And do we need all these people?
- 25:07Speaker 1: You guys might not know this. Maybe Dan's mentioned it
- 25:10Speaker 1: before on his show. I haven't mentioned it on this one, though.
- 25:13Speaker 1: The Bonginos just hired a manager at this company. Her
- 25:17Speaker 1: name is Jasmine, which is a very nice lady, very
- 25:20Speaker 1: kind woman. And when Jasmine was hired, the first thing
- 25:24Speaker 1: that Jasmine did is send us all an email saying,
- 25:29Speaker 1: give me a list of what you do this week.
- 25:32Speaker 2: What's your schedule like? Tell me what your job is.
- 25:34Speaker 1: What do you do?
- 25:37Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael says harassment.
- 25:38Speaker 1: I think we should, Michael says we should file an
- 25:40Speaker 1: HR report to Jasmine about Jasmine because that was totally
- 25:43Speaker 1: abusive of Jasmine to ask us what we do here
- 25:46Speaker 1: at Bongino.
- 25:47Speaker 2: No, it's not abusive. She's the manager.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Dan Boncino hired her. Okay, so I'm going to tell
- 25:52Speaker 1: you what I did this week. So was Michael and
- 25:54Speaker 1: Guy and Jeff. This is what we do. This is
- 25:56Speaker 1: what employees do.
- 25:58Speaker 2: It's not abusive.
- 26:00Speaker 5: What?
- 26:00Speaker 2: Who acts like?
- 26:02Speaker 1: This is what's so crazy to me. It's like, these
- 26:03Speaker 1: guys just act completely rogue. They have no accountability whatsoever.
- 26:07Speaker 1: All of us in the private sector, this is normal.
- 26:09Speaker 1: If your manager asks you, what did you do this week?
- 26:12Speaker 2: You tell them.
- 26:14Speaker 1: But you have these employees in the federal government who
- 26:17Speaker 1: turn up their noses and say, oh, it's abusive to
- 26:20Speaker 1: ask what I do here.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Don't ask me what I do here. It's like, what
- 26:23Speaker 2: do you mean?
- 26:24Speaker 1: What do you mean that's not something you'll do? I mean,
- 26:27Speaker 1: it's just such a different mindset from these bureaucrats. As
- 26:32Speaker 1: somebody who most of us are listening, you probably are
- 26:34Speaker 1: coming from a perspective of the private sector.
- 26:37Speaker 2: We look at that and we're just like, are these
- 26:39Speaker 2: people insane?
- 26:40Speaker 1: Like what's happening in the government? How are they even
- 26:44Speaker 1: operating with completely unaccountable rogue employees? So these Democrats and
- 26:51Speaker 1: bureaucrats are fear-mongering about Elon Musk having too much power
- 26:55Speaker 1: in the government.
- 26:56Speaker 2: That's really ultimately what a lot of this is about.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Corporate capture, billionaire control. And can I just say how
- 27:04Speaker 1: incredibly rich that is? This week, we learned that the
- 27:09Speaker 1: former head of the FDA under Biden, Patricia Cavazonia, will
- 27:14Speaker 1: now be the chief medical officer for Pfizer. more evidence
- 27:20Speaker 1: of the corruption within our agencies, specifically within health. It's
- 27:24Speaker 1: a screaming conflict of interest. Was Patricia easing approvals to
- 27:28Speaker 1: secure that future job at Pfizer? We know that the
- 27:31Speaker 1: COVID vax can cause chronic health problems in some that
- 27:34Speaker 1: we learned that last week. And that just is added
- 27:38Speaker 1: onto the list of potential ailments that the forced jab
- 27:41Speaker 1: causes that was expedited with approval by our health agencies.
- 27:47Speaker 1: And by the way, we're supposed to heed CNN's fear-mongering
- 27:50Speaker 1: warnings about firing federal workers when tens of thousands of
- 27:56Speaker 1: federal workers were fired over COVID vaccine hesitancy.
- 27:59Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 28:01Speaker 1: The FDA is full of pharma sellouts, not watchdog. Policy
- 28:05Speaker 1: is warped. The rules tilt toward big pharma profits, not
- 28:10Speaker 1: public safety. And again, they want us to be afraid
- 28:12Speaker 1: of RFK Jr. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker wrote, This on
- 28:16Speaker 1: X-Test today. RFK Jr. 's views are dangerous, misguided, and
- 28:20Speaker 1: deeply disturbing. Frankly, his policies will hurt people. I will
- 28:23Speaker 1: push back on any attempts to disrupt the health and
- 28:26Speaker 1: safety of Illinoisans.
- 28:29Speaker 4: Illinoisans?
- 28:30Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 28:33Speaker 2: This is coming from a.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Morbidly obese man. Morbidly, morbidly obese man.
- 28:37Speaker 6: J.B.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Pritzker is not healthy. And now he's insisting that RFK Jr.
- 28:42Speaker 2: is a threat to public health? I'm sorry, sir, but
- 28:44Speaker 2: I think... You need to sit this one out.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Yeah, RFK is one of the healthiest men I've ever
- 28:53Speaker 1: seen in his 70s.
- 28:54Speaker 2: It's incredible.
- 28:56Speaker 1: I'm going to take health advice from him, not you,
- 28:59Speaker 1: JB Pritzker.
- 29:01Speaker 5: All right.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Now, I've been thinking a lot about the incredible speech
- 29:06Speaker 1: that JD Vance gave in Munich. As Notre Dame professor
- 29:11Speaker 1: Patrick Dunning wrote, Vance was offering... America might once again
- 29:18Speaker 1: save Europe from tyranny, but now by telling Europe hard
- 29:21Speaker 1: truths about itself. Europe can save itself from internal tyranny
- 29:26Speaker 1: not by through ongoing alliance on the U.S., but by
- 29:30Speaker 1: counting on its own people. Let me take a listen
- 29:33Speaker 1: to this little piece of J.D. 's speech in Munich,
- 29:36Speaker 1: just a reminder.
- 29:39Speaker 8: The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe
- 29:42Speaker 8: is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any other
- 29:46Speaker 8: external actor. And what I worry about is the threat
- 29:49Speaker 8: from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its
- 29:54Speaker 8: most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.
- 30:01Speaker 1: The speech was a clear message that America will no
- 30:03Speaker 1: longer sit back and encourage the West's civilizational suicide.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Trump's team is.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Signaling that they view the defense of free expression as
- 30:11Speaker 1: essential to preserving Western civ, and America will once again
- 30:15Speaker 1: be a global champion of natural rights.
- 30:18Speaker 2: I love it.
- 30:19Speaker 1: So much so that I think America needs to fully
- 30:23Speaker 1: practice what it preaches.
- 30:27Speaker 5: J.D.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Vance's mentor, friend and previous financial backer Peter Thiel, is
- 30:32Speaker 1: the co-founder of Palantir, a CIA-backed company developing predictive profiling
- 30:38Speaker 1: algorithms to identify domestic terrorists from the left and right
- 30:43Speaker 1: in the U.S. before they commit any kind of crime. Essentially,
- 30:46Speaker 1: it's a way to target political dissidents, thought criminals, before
- 30:50Speaker 1: they've committed any actual crime. According to a 2018 Bloomberg report,
- 30:56Speaker 1: Palantir knows everything about you It is a data mining
- 31:00Speaker 1: company using war on terror tools to track American citizens.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Palantir privatizes the government's surveillance initiatives. It successfully circumvents the
- 31:12Speaker 1: Constitution while funding its efforts with U.S. tax dollars to
- 31:15Speaker 1: be used against U.S. citizens as well as other foreigners.
- 31:20Speaker 1: It's New World Order.
- 31:21Speaker 2: It's Orwellian. It's terrifying.
- 31:24Speaker 1: How can we restore America's role as a beacon of hope?
- 31:29Speaker 1: if people like Peter Thiel continue to embed themselves in
- 31:35Speaker 1: the political right, going on podcasts, associating with right-wing thought leaders,
- 31:42Speaker 1: maintaining Palantir a massive role in the federal government.
- 31:46Speaker 2: I didn't hear J.D.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Vance criticize Palantir once in that Munich speech.
- 31:49Speaker 2: He did a great job.
- 31:50Speaker 1: He criticized pro-lifers who have been arrested in the UK
- 31:55Speaker 1: for praying silently outside abortion clinics.
- 31:57Speaker 2: That's so important. We need to talk about it. But
- 32:01Speaker 2: we also need to talk about this.
- 32:02Speaker 1: This is less overt than Germany banging on people's doors
- 32:07Speaker 1: and stealing their devices because they promoted so-called hate speech online.
- 32:13Speaker 2: This is not quite as.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Explicit, but it's happening in the background and it needs
- 32:18Speaker 1: to be addressed.
- 32:18Speaker 2: We need to be consistent.
- 32:22Speaker 1: We have to ensure that our own house is in
- 32:23Speaker 1: order before we go to Europe and we preach about
- 32:26Speaker 1: what's happening there. We have to be willing to call
- 32:28Speaker 1: our own out. I want excellence from America. I want
- 32:33Speaker 1: authentic promotion of natural rights in this country, of constitutional rights,
- 32:38Speaker 1: to privacy, to security. I'm not sure we're getting it.
- 32:45Speaker 1: I also want transparency, and this brings me to my
- 32:47Speaker 1: next story. Yesterday, Representative Ana Paulina Luna tweeted this. On
- 32:53Speaker 1: February 11th and February 19th, House Oversight sent a letter
- 32:57Speaker 1: to the DOJ asking for status on releasing the Epstein
- 33:01Speaker 1: files as well as JFK, etc. The DOJ has not responded.
- 33:06Speaker 1: Reaching out on X because we can't seem to get
- 33:08Speaker 1: a response from the Attorney General. At Pambondi, what is
- 33:12Speaker 1: the status of the documents? Now, these documents were ordered
- 33:16Speaker 1: to be declassified. I believe in extending grace, but transparency
- 33:23Speaker 1: is also essential. These documents need to be released. The
- 33:29Speaker 1: declassification process, just so we're all clear, it does include
- 33:32Speaker 1: a review period, but the review period should be minimal.
- 33:36Speaker 2: At this point, the.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Contents shouldn't matter, especially in the case of JFK, where
- 33:40Speaker 1: virtually everyone involved has already passed away.
- 33:44Speaker 2: The documents are.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Declassified and they should be made public as soon as possible.
- 33:50Speaker 1: A review shouldn't be a mechanism for selectively hiding, omitting,
- 33:54Speaker 1: or redacting information. And the longer this process drags on,
- 33:58Speaker 1: the more suspect it appears. And to be clear, I'm
- 34:02Speaker 1: not claiming that's what's happening. But when declassified documents remain
- 34:05Speaker 1: out of reach and even members of Congress can't get
- 34:07Speaker 1: a status update from the DOJ, that's a serious problem.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Accountability has to apply across the board. This isn't about
- 34:16Speaker 1: blind loyalty to a political team. It is about ensuring
- 34:19Speaker 1: that this administration upholds the very ideals and promises we
- 34:23Speaker 1: elected them to champion. And they're doing a good job.
- 34:28Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be critical when
- 34:31Speaker 1: it's necessary. In this case, I think calling out Pam
- 34:34Speaker 1: Bonding and asking, can we just get a status update?
- 34:37Speaker 2: What's going on with these documents?
- 34:38Speaker 1: That is entirely fair. And I'm really concerned by how
- 34:42Speaker 1: long it's taking.
- 34:43Speaker 2: It should not take that long. It shouldn't. What do
- 34:46Speaker 2: we need to redact? What do we need to hide?
- 34:48Speaker 2: What do we need to omit?
- 34:50Speaker 1: And why?
- 34:51Speaker 2: Why redact?
- 34:52Speaker 1: Why omit?
- 34:52Speaker 2: Why hide?
- 34:55Speaker 1: The reasons for that also are very suspect. Transparency isn't
- 35:00Speaker 1: just a talking point. It is a fundamental expectation that
- 35:04Speaker 1: needs to be met by this admin. And that's all
- 35:06Speaker 1: I have for you guys today. Thank you so much
- 35:08Speaker 1: for tuning in, as always, for sticking with me. We
- 35:11Speaker 1: have almost 17,000 viewers, which is huge for us. So
- 35:15Speaker 1: thank you so much for tuning in.
- 35:16Speaker 2: I hope that a lot of you guys will tune
- 35:20Speaker 2: into the show.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Pay attention to what we're doing. Maybe if you're from Dan,
- 35:24Speaker 1: you're a refugee from the Dan Bongino show, you come over,
- 35:26Speaker 1: you listen to this one. I'm going to keep delivering
- 35:29Speaker 1: really great content.
- 35:30Speaker 2: I do my homework. I research a lot. I want
- 35:32Speaker 2: to be the best for you guys, especially as.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Dan Bongino is leaving and creating this vacuum in all
- 35:38Speaker 1: of our lives. So I appreciate you guys sticking with me.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Hopefully you'll stay.
- 35:41Speaker 1: And just so you know, Dan has some really big
- 35:45Speaker 1: news today.

- 35:48Speaker 2: turn into that.
- 35:49Speaker 1: We're going to have a lot more details about what
- 35:51Speaker 1: Bongino is going to look like today as we look
- 35:55Speaker 1: to the future and Dan Bongino steps into this really
- 35:58Speaker 1: new and incredible role at the FBI. So tune in
- 36:01Speaker 1: for that, and I'll see you guys all on this
- 36:04Speaker 1: show tomorrow.
- 36:05Speaker 2: The Dan Boncino Show.
- 36:07Speaker 5: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
- 36:09Speaker 5: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
- 36:13Speaker 5: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 36:15Speaker 5: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 36:18Speaker 5: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
- 36:22Speaker 3: That is it.
- 36:23Speaker 5: This is not a football game. If you vote, we
- 36:26Speaker 5: will win.
- 36:27Speaker 6: It is not complicated.
- 36:29Speaker 2: The Dan Boncino Show. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
