Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
You know, it's not often I open up the show with a huge, enormous congratulations because you're like, you know, whatever, get to the program, bro.Like we don't have time for your stuff, but I think this is important.
Folks, someone very special to me works here.You know her well, the great Evita Duffy, just an unbelievably talented young woman who we brought on.She is on early edition with Evita on the Bongino Report channel.Many of you watch it.
And in case you missed the huge news yesterday,
Evita's father, who is a patriot and a real American, I mean, I want to talk about a pro-America MAGA guy, former Congressman Sean Duffy, her dad, was yesterday selected to be the next Department of Transportation secretary in President Trump's cabinet.
You can see that right there.Pleased to announce former Congressman Sean Duffy I got to say to the whole Duffy family, Rachel, who you all know from Fox and Friends, who is a patriot in her own right, Evita and her dad.We got Michael here.
Michael, of course, is married to Evita.I said, how does it feel to have your father-in-law in the cabinet?I said, you ever been in a White House?He's like, no, never.I said, well, get ready.You're going to go now. So a big round of applause.
Clapping emojis in the chat.God bless you all.And I do mean God bless you.May God and Jesus Christ give you the discernment to move forward.Everybody say a prayer for Sean.
He's going to be responsible for the ports, the airports, the roads, the highways, and he is a great man.So I want to start the show today with a congratulations.Folks, I got a big show.
Unfortunately, after this little short break here, I have a little bit of bad news about international affairs.Not about me, but Something really kind of escalatory happened yesterday that could end up really bad.
And then we got the rest of a big show.I told you they were doing a flood the zone strategy.Hey, beam cyber sales here.Bungino listeners enjoy up to 50% off at shopbeam.com slash Bungino use code Bungino.Don't miss beams biggest sale of the year.
I told you they were going to flood the zone.And now the New York times has always folks two weeks behind the Bungino show saying the same thing.You were ahead of the curve. Ever heard of data brokers?
They're the middlemen collecting and selling all those digital footprints you leave online.They use your browsing history and location data to sell your profile off to a company that delivers you a targeted ad.
You may be surprised to learn that these data brokers, the same ones that are selling your information to the DHS and the IRS, that's no good.
These brokers aggregate data, tie it back to you through your device's unique IP address and reveals information about your location. What are you going to do about it?Well, you're going to connect to ExpressVPN.That's the right thing to do.
Your IP address is hidden.It makes it difficult for them to identify who you are.That's why I have ExpressVPN, the app, downloaded on all my devices, phone, computer, even the Wi-Fi router.All I do is tap a button and I'm protected.
It's really that easy.Right now, take advantage of ExpressVPN's Black Friday, Cyber Monday offer to get the absolute best VPN deal you'll find all year.Don't wait. Use my special link expressvpn.com slash Bongino to get four extra months.
That's four extra months on a 12 month plan or six extra months with a 24 month plan.Totally free.That's expressvpn.com slash Bongino to get an extra four or six months of ExpressVPN for free.All right, fellas, let's go.
So this is a little bit of bad news.I threw this in right at the beginning because it is such a critically important story that to leave it to the end at risk I wouldn't get to it would be political talk show heresy and certainly MAGA heresy.
Folks, we sent Ukraine a bunch of ATAKMS.ATAKMS are basically long-range missiles.It's simple as that. And for the first time, as you can see from this Wall Street Journal article breaking yesterday, Ukrainians have used them inside of Russia.
Folks, this is a major breakthrough in this war.I'm a little concerned, and you should be too.
It is not cowardly or isolationist for us to say, well, now if Ukraine is attacking inside Russia and Putin has indicated that he's going to now change his nuclear posture based on this, it's pretty dumb to ignore it.You doubt me?
Here's Putin himself.You're going to see the translator talking about this.Now, there's a lot of people out there saying, oh, he's bluffing.Is that really a chance we want to take?
There's no question the man has nuclear weapons and could potentially use them.Watch this.
In the updated version of the document, aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state but with the support of a nuclear state is proposed to be considered as their joint attack on Russia.
Russia will also consider the possibility of using nuclear weapons when receiving reliable information about a massive launch of means of aerospace attack and their crossing of our state border.
This includes strategic and tactical aircraft as well as cruise missiles and drones.
Ah, that's what he's talking about, the missile attacks.Now again, there's a lot of people out there, well what are we going to do, not do anything because Putin said so?I'm not saying not do that.
I'm saying I think the better tactical strategy was a strategy to wear the Russians out. kind of like I.E.
Afghanistan when they had to leave there in humiliating fashion rather than rapidly escalating, risking another rapid escalation by a nuclear-powered enemy.They have nukes, man!It's not going away.It's not a conspiracy theory.It's real.
We can't just cavalierly treat this like it's just some throwaway decision like we're tossing a penny in a fountain at Disney and making a wish. I'm just telling you to keep your eye on this.Michael just said it.
It's clear Joe Biden does not have his cognitive faculties.Who is running this White House?And are these guys risking a potential escalation?
I hate the World War III analogies, but something serious like Putin launching a tactical battlefield nuke just because they're headed out the door to leave Donald Trump with a shit sandwich?Don't dismiss the possibility.
Keep your eye on that story, I will, I promise you.This is a major, major, major thing.So you are always, folks, always on the Dan Bongino Show.Jim, producer Jim, unflag it please.
I told you the flag it strategy that what Donald Trump was doing with his nominees, Gates, Hegseth, Tulsi, Bobby Kennedy, and others, is he was putting forth
Folks who are gonna be change agents, but we're gonna cause controversy amongst the troublemakers on the left.I don't care if they're pissed off.
And I said he was doing it in the someone's, folks, please, we've gotten a thousand of these, so we appreciate it. But please don't send any more Rakam, because really, I don't want you wasting your money.So, here's the Rakam.
I just wanted you to know I beat Guy yesterday in Rakam Sakam Robots.So, I gave him a little left here.So, I told you it was the Rakam Sakam Robots strategy.I actually like this game.Oh, that's the hand.Oh, I kicked his ass yesterday.
Guy tried to mess with me with Rakam Sakam.So, we are... Are you training?Were you training?I found like a couple... There's like five outside of the studio.We got... I appreciate it, but we got... We don't... We do, we need to run.
I need key training like running up the steps in the art museum.I told you it was the Rock'em Sock'em Robot strategy.
That Trump strategy, which I think is pretty brilliant, is to flood the zone, keep punching Rock'em Sock'em Robot style, and basically overwhelm the system so they can't focus on one particular nominee. Guys, listen, self-praise stinks.
Who gives a shit about patting yourself on the back?Look at me, I'm smiling.It was obvious to anyone paying attention.The disconnect, I think, is why he did it.
I think we're one of the few shows to mention, they learned from what happened to Mike Flynn in 2016.They let the media focus on one guy.Now they're like, boom, hit him with everyone.
So of course, as I said, you were a couple weeks ahead of it, New York Times of all people, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan confirming what I told you.They say Gates may not be confirmed, Trump admits, but he's pushing him and others anyway.
Why is he doing that? Well, they note, Mr. Trump has repeatedly swamped the system with provocations.That Bannon memorably stated that their strategy for dealing with the news media was to flood the zone.Yes, there's, I see red flags in the chat.
We told you that's what they were doing.Just listen to us and you're two weeks ahead of the cycle.Here it goes on.The flood the zone, rock them, sock them, robux, keep punching strategy has ensured, look, look, look,
That little focus stays on any single scandal.Sidekick.Karate man strikes again.Because karate man hurt on the inside.I told you karate man style.Read it right there.The strategy has ensured little focus stays on any single scandal.
Did your boy explain it to you? What did I tell you?The news programs are only an hour long.They cannot dedicate an hour to one person if they're worried about Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi, Pete, Hykeseth, and Gates.
They know the caravan moves quickly to the next and the next, creating an overall blurring and flattening effect.Trump has survived them all, including felony convictions and being held liable for sexual abuse, all the scams. I told you, I told you.
I want you to witness, this is perfect, this is perfect too.Here's a clip from 61 Minutes, formerly known, folks, why is it now renamed 61 Minutes?Because they added a minute for Kamala, so it was 60, they destroyed their brand.
It's like the Redskins becoming the Guardians.It's now 61 Minutes. Listen to this segment in the beginning of 61 Minutes, where they don't even know how to handle it.
They're like, they bounce from Rubio to Pete to Gates, and notice how they can't spend any time on any one of them?Your boy Danny Botts told you, listen and you'll be weeks ahead of these idiots in the media.Watch 61 Minutes, check this out.
The nominees are Senator Marco Rubio for Secretary of State, Pete Hegseth to lead the 3 million people of the Department of Defense.He's a combat veteran, most recently a morning show host on Fox News with no government experience.
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General in charge of law enforcement. Gates has been investigated by Republicans for alleged drug use and sex with a minor.Gates denies those allegations.
Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, for Director of National Intelligence, she sought a pardon for Edward Snowden, who leaked U.S.secrets and now lives in Russia.
And Robert Kennedy Jr., for Secretary of Health and Human Services, a skeptic of vaccinations. It's up to the new Republican majority in the Senate to decide whether these nominees are equipped to represent the American people.
Did you see it?Did you see it? You see how they can't focus on any one thing?Michael just said it right.Michael's like, 61 minutes should have just said, listen, all these picks suck, we don't like them.They don't know what to do.
They're like, get this guy.I love the line too about Pete Hegseth.They said, Pete Hegseth has no government experience.Yeah, outside of working for our military in combat and getting two bronze stars.You're 100% correct, Scott.
No government experience at all.I believe these assholes. PDAG said there's no government experience.What was he working for?F***ing G.I.Joe?Who'd you think he was working for in the military?That's the government, you dumbass!
Waiting for Leslie Stahl to show up.Sir!Sir!No government experience, sir!Besides putting your ass on the line in combat.You're right, no government experience at all. That is exactly right.He just nailed it.
If he was a bureaucrat in the Pentagon, they would say, He's got government experience, but he's got no combat experience, so he's definitely not relevant for this position.
You understand there is no way in these assholes' skewed bubble and view of the world, there is no way to position yourself.That's why you ignore them.You make fun of them.You laugh at them.You mock them.You destroy their credibility.
Use Saul Alinsky's rules. Ridicule is the most powerful weapon because there's no effective comeback and that's why we use it in this show and we use it so surgically.We're in charge now.Did you see that Pew Research thing that came out yesterday?
I should have put it in the show.We're in charge now.You know Pew, that polling company?Where do people get their news?Who are two of the most trusted sources of news?This guy and Ben Shapiro. We're in charge now, kids.
How does that feel, Bongino Army?We're in charge.Not 61 minutes.This flood the zone, rock'em, sock'em.I just destroyed one of the robots.Poor guy, just knocked him down.The rock'em, sock'em robots, keep punching, man.The strategy is working.
Look at this guy.Maybe we should have him fight like Stimpy.Stimpy, Stimpson, Jay Kaco.Add him with the Rock'em Sock'em.Folks, it is working beautifully.Hatship Newsbusters.Watch this epic like minute and 10 second meltdown.
They don't know what to do.The second they freak out over one person, they got to move on to the next one. and always gauge the effectiveness of a political battlefield tactic by the response of your enemy.
If they're freaking out, what does that mean, folks in the chat?You know, karate man is karate man.That means you are doing the right thing and you should move forward and move forward fast.Check this out.
Donald Trump promised to deliver to his administration the best people.He delivered the worst people to ever work in a presidential administration.And now he is delivering even worse people.
Matt Gaetz is literally the worst pick in the world for attorney general.People at the Justice Department who just use the word insane.Simply gobsmacking.I mean, how could he? This is a crazy pick.This is a dangerous pick.
He will turn the Department of Justice into a petting zoo.
We've seen people today, our fellow reporters, crying, hugging in the hallways.
This kind of appointment is really striking fear and trepidation in the hearts of the career civil servants over there.
No one is endorsing this.
Chelsea Gabbard, insofar as she is known at all, is known as a spreader of Syrian and Russian disinformation.
Russian television, which is a propaganda machine, has joked that she's a Russian asset.I don't know that for a fact, but that is something they have talked about.
They don't know.They've lost control.Most of you, I assume, in the chat, right?You're parents.You have kids.A lot of you do.Some may, some may not.But you've been a kid at some point, obviously, all of you.
You know what it's like to deal with kids around that kindergarten age where they develop their first sense of autonomy?Like they know they're distinct from their parents.What do you mean?
If you ever had a newborn, the newborn has no sense of self at all.All it knows is how to poop and how to like, mommy, it's time for food.So I cry.
There's that moment, you know, the kindergarten age, where they really start to develop that sense of like, I'm a separate and distinct person, and if I do this, I'll get what I want.
And that's why they melt down, because they haven't learned how to control their emotions.That's the media.It may seem like a really odd analogy, but I think you guys in the chat here, you know it's true.
They're like a bunch of kindergarten-age children who have no emotional control at all.
They can't say, like, well, Congresswoman Gabbard is an experienced former presidential candidate with a serious political and military resume, and we may not agree with some of our foreign policy positions, but given that she's a serious person, what do they got to do?
Tulsi Gabbard is a Putin asset, as if they haven't tried the Putin asset tactic with who, guys? Every single person they agree with ever.It's because they're children.They're little tiny five-year-olds and six-year-olds.
They have no emotional control, bowel control.They like wear diapers all day. And that's why we're here to decimate their credibility.
And that's why Pew Research has this guy and the Bongino army as the most trusted source in news, or one of them, in America.We win.You assholes in the media lose.Every time.Why?Because we're two weeks ahead of the news cycle.
Did we not tell you to flood the zone strategy? He says my credibility will be ruined with Pew if I start publicly talking about my Star Wars takes.I disagree.I disagree.You're both wrong.My Star Wars takes are real.Yours are fake.
Real, real shit, he says.They are really, no, yours, you guys are, you're too biased.These guys are like fanboys.You can't have that.Here's our next mission.And we're going to get to this after the break. And I need your help on this.
It may happen soon, so keep your eyes open.By the way, just breaking just a few minutes ago, Howard Lutnick, who is the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, a major investment house that, by the way, lost hundreds of people on 9-11.
Howard's got an amazing story, has just been selected as Commerce Secretary.So he is the nominee.Should get through confirmation, no problem. For disclosure, folks, Howard was a business partner in Rumble.I owe you that.I like Howard as the pick.
It's distinct from my professional relationship with him.But I've known Howard for a long time, and no one knows business as well as him.So I think he'll be a relatively uncontroversial pick.
And I mean, controversy is like fabricated bullshit by the left.You get the point. But I need a favor on this.Folks, we need Kash Patel at FBI.
As far as I'm concerned right now, he is the only guy who knows where the bodies are buried and can go in there and clean that mess up.We gotta get Kash through.I'm gonna go into that next and I'm gonna show you why this guy gets it.
Quick break, we'll get back to that segment.FBI reform is absolutely critical.We don't reform the FBI, all this other stuff is gonna be meaningless, because they're gonna come after you next.

Thank you, Bongino Army.Again, we were the number one news livestream in the world yesterday.Deeply appreciate your support.It matters a lot to me, so thank you again.I need a favor.We gotta get cash through, folks.FBI reform is critical.
I want to explain to you in hopefully a minute or less what happened.
Post 9-11, the FBI, which had previously focused largely on serious criminal investigations, kidnapping, taking crimes across state lines, everything from drugs to bank fraud to bank robberies.You've probably seen Keanu Reeves in Point Break.
I mean, it's a movie.You get the point.But that was their thing. The FBI was a very serious criminal investigative agency.
They started dipping way, they always had an Intel function, but they dipped themselves way deep in the pool and have now become basically a domestic intelligence gathering operation.And the mission creep has taken over.
It has destroyed the FBI because they focused their eye around all the wrong people, not overseas threats as much, but us. I want you to see they're too focused on intelligence now and not on shoe leather old school police work.
Here's a video of Kash Patel.He's on a podcast.This is why we need this guy at FBI.He totally gets the problem while these other guys are just glossing over it.Check this out.
The FBI's footprint has gotten so freaking big. And the biggest problem the FBI has had has come out of its Intel shops.I'd break that component out of it.I'd shut down the FBI Hoover building.
on day one and reopening the next day as a museum of the deep state.And I take the 7,000 employees that work in that building and send them across America to chase down criminals.Go be cops.You're cops.Go be cops.
Go chase down murderers and rapists and drug dealers and violent offenders.What do you need 7,000 people there for?Same thing with DOJ.What are all these people doing here?
Looking for their next government promotion, looking for their next fancy government title. Who was that?
Was that Anita who pinned in the chat, we want Cash?Guys, ladies, I need you.I know Cash well.I promise you, it doesn't mean anything.What's my theory on appointees and politicians?I'm all about the spreadsheet.I like Cash personally.
I've had a few beers with Cash.We'll hang out.No matter what happens, Cash and I are gonna be friends.I promise you on my word, that has nothing to do with what I'm telling you.This is strictly a spreadsheet thing.There is no one else out there
Available, available with the balls and the knowledge.Hat tip, Sean Ryan show, by the way, another great podcast.That's where Cash was on there.Who said what he just said?The Intel function has gotten out of control.
They're not chasing bad guys anymore.They're chasing Intel cases.And a lot of these Intel cases are on political targets like Moms for Liberty and others.
when they should be out there locking up bank robbers, freaking terrorists, people who cross state lines and kidnap people, people involved in massive bank frauds.How do they keep missing stuff?
How do they keep missing these massive scams that a Bitcoin guy who screwed over a bunch of Bitcoin owners, how do they keep missing this?The answer is because they're focused on the wrong thing.That clip sums up exactly what we need to do.
We need to break up the Washington, D.C.headquarters mindset FBI.Oh we got to be close to the power centers.Why?You got to be close to the criminals so you can lock them up.Send them out across the country.You don't want to do it?Fine.Resign.
See you later.Cash is the guy.How do we know cash is the guy?Folks how many times do I got to say this and you know not sound like you know the old repetitive broken record.Always measure the effectiveness of a pick by the reaction.
If the left isn't melting down, you can basically assume that that's the wrong guy, okay?Eric Daughtry tweet, just in, former FBI agent warns Kash Patel would deal, quote, massive damage to the agency, according to The Hill.
Putting someone like Kash Patel in as FBI director, I believe, is extremely dangerous, because his resume isn't traditional. What does that say?That should say to you what?Double down.Accelerator, foot.RPMs, 2,000, 3,000, 9,000.Foot to the gas pedal.
Folks, start making a stink on social media.Listen, politicians watch that stuff.I'm serious.Get them trending.We need cash.I have no inside information on this at all.I will say this.
I did speak to some people, because I owe you honesty, in the Trump orbit, UFC.
They just asked me, who do you, they didn't ask, obviously, I'm not picking anyone, it was President Trump, I have nothing to do, I'm just saying, they asked me my personal opinion.
I said, hey, there's nothing I'm gonna tell you I haven't said to my audience.I think Kash Patel's the guy.So I owe you some honesty on that.And that's what I've said publicly, it's what I've said privately.He is the guy.
61 Minutes will absolutely freak out.They'll have another segment about Sean Duffy and Kash Patel.They'll be like, and Sean Duffy has no government experience in transportation.
You understand he's a lawyer, a prosecutor, and a multi-term congressman from a state that I promise you has some significant transportation interests.You know, like bridges and roads and airports.Kash Patel's a Nazi.
Wait, we're still talking about Sean.No, no, we're moving on.He's a fascist. Cash Patel, Cash Patel, Cash Patel is Pol Pot.He is?This is next.Flood the zone, flood it.Flood the zone, break the dam.Folks, do not back down on any of these people.
Do not let them Mike Flynn any of these people.Don't let them do it. Oh yeah, by the way, Guy put up a picture, folks.The optics are obvious.This man is definitely a hardcore white supremacist.There is zero doubt.Look at that.
I mean, look at the way he looks, right, Guy?The way he's looking off to the right.And the melanin level of his skin is definitely not high enough to... You're correct.I mean, we need to scour his body for tattoos, folks.Not in a creepy way.
I mean, if he has like an American flag, he's definitely like a Nazi fascist.I mean, you know, Pete has a tattoo celebrating God.That's, forget it.You gotta get him out.Can't have God tattoos and crosses and stuff.I mean, Guys, ready?
I'm going to eliminate myself from the Secret Service right now.I'm going to show you something.You guys ready for this?I didn't even think of this.Guy, you ready?I don't want to be creepy, but... Okay, you guys ready for the... Justin's now leaving.
He can't work for it.Folks, I have a cross on my right shoulder.I don't know if you've ever seen this.Justin's leaving right now.Michael's like, I can't support this kind of fascism.Guy's like, I'm definitely out of here.
Guy's like, you're coming for me next after the show.I got a cross right here.I have now, I'm out.So now media people, you can report.I will never ever have anything to do with the Trump administration.I didn't even think of this, bro.
I'm going to make this even worse for you right now.Folks in the chat, just be honest.It's over, right?Just put it.It is over.This is even worse.This is a definite sign of a fascist Nazi. There's an eagle for America.
You can't, look at, you can't have that.You can't, I'm not showing you my, I'm not flexing.Oh, look at me.I promise you, look at that.There's no flexing going on.It's an eagle.You cannot, I'm done.I am out.A cross and an eagle?What the, holy shit.
Get that, that Bongino, he is definitely an authoritarian, totalitarian, fascist Nazi.Folks in the chat say, get him out. Get him out!The jury has ruled you are ineligible.Ineligible.
You are definitely a fascist, white supremacist, what... I'm losing track of all the names.The podcast will go on.Subscribe to Locals and maybe we'll give you the... Maybe we'll do the Geraldo for you.Oh, I got more.Oh, wait, wait.
Wait, Justin, come over here.I need your help for this one.Yes, there's one more.I didn't even think it is.Yeah, come here.I need your help, Justin, because I can't reach because of my bad shoulders.I have a tattoo at the top of my back.
I'm going to turn around.Justin, I hope you're cool with this.Don't file an HR complaint.Put us down a little.Can you see it in the back?You see it? Okay, can we show the audience?I'm gonna turn around a little bit.I'll turn around this way.
Here, come around this way.This one, this tattoo is definitely, definitely an eliminate, I'm done after this one.Folks, hold on.Justin, show them.Can you see it? Folks, that's a Jesus fish.I am out.Justin's leaving right now.
I'm like, Justin, we met in a Catholic church.He's out.I'm a religious fanatic.I got a cross, a Jesus fish, and an eagle.Holy shit.Everybody off the show.I'm going to be at 162,000.Everybody out.Everybody out.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.Who wants to watch a crazy religious fanatic like that? Do I ever experience irritation when I shave?I see where you're going with that.
Because according to a recent study, two-thirds of men expect some irritation when they shave.That was clever.Only when I shave my back.No, folks, I got to take a short break because I'm losing my mind. Only this show.

You know the great Mike Davis and another great guy is Jeff Clark, by the way.He's a very talented attorney.He's worked with President Trump.They were on Steve Bannon's War Room, and they were talking about how to push through cash patel and gates.
You've heard a lot about the Federal Vacancies Act, recess appointments, standard traditional confirmations.Folks, the bottom line is we have a number of effective constitutional tools.
if Gates and, say, maybe a Kash Patel or a Pete Hegseth are obstructed.We have a number of mechanisms to get these guys through, and we should use them.Why?Because cutesy time is what, folks?Cutesy time is over.
You want the cutesy time show, you got to go somewhere else.Cutesy time is over a long time ago, too, on War Room.They don't do cutesy time either.Here's a great segment on how to get these guys through.Check out this minute.It's worth your time.
But for cash, there's some, there's all this concern that, oh, they can't get, they can't get confirmed.
Talk about, you got two, Trump's got two alternatives and he said, he just did the one in 1998 that he's going to, he's going to use the Vacancies Act.But yours is actually more aggressive.
What can President Trump do to get Gates confirmed and to get Patel confirmed if he needs it?
Well, before I unpack the recess appointments clause a little bit, Steve, let me say this.It's even better than that because you can combine the two tools.
You could recess appoint somebody and then that lasts basically for two years until the end of the next session. of Congress, each session being a year.
And then you can tack on another 210 days as acting after that under the Federal Vacancy Reform Act.So the tools are additive, you know, like a kind of Kerr-Powell synergy.So coming back to the recess appointments clause,
The president has had this power since the founding of the Constitution.Hundreds and hundreds of recess appointments have been made in our history, including by modern presidents.
And for some reason, you know, surprise, surprise, the media and a lot of the never-Trumper types want to pretend that this is not a power that the president has, or if he exercises it, the sky comes falling.None of that is true.
Folks, cutesy time is over.There is nothing even remotely controversial about recess appointments.I described it to you over the last few days, it's not complicated.You've got two houses in Congress.
You've got the House of Representatives, you've got the Senate.If they go in recess, meaning we're leaving, going back to our districts to do district work, which by the way, happens all the time.
happens all the time the president is allowed to make a recess appointment because you can't have government seats empty all the time there is nothing even remotely controversial about this you don't want gates on the first run
Go into recess and we'll appoint them for 210 days, or use the Vacancy Act, or like Jeff Clark said, and Mike Davis, we'll back them up back to back.
Obama did recess appointments, Trump did them, Clinton did them, Bush did them, and not even a few, I mean it was a lot. There is nothing controversial here.
I'm really sick of these swampy-ass Republicans who wouldn't even have their jobs without President Trump and the down-ballot effect of you guys showing up and pulling the lever or filling in the bubble for them, complaining and whining about everything.
Some of you voted for a Supreme Court nominee. Who doesn't even know what a freaking woman is?You've got Javier Becerra at HHS, the crazy congressman from California, who has no experience in HHS Health and Human Services at all.
I'm really sorry man, but cutesy time is over.Cut the bullshit and just get it done. You need people right now who understand the enemy is that way.They're in the trench.There's a war going on for freedom.Fact.You don't understand it.
Get the hell out of the fight.We don't need you.You're sucking up oxygen for someone else.And what are you doing?You're pointing your gun sideways at the trench at the guy who's shooting that way at the enemy.Folks, this is political trench warfare.
You doubt me?You want to see this video?You probably saw it, but I'm going to play it again. Here is a Bucks County Commissioner in Pennsylvania.They're fighting over unquestionably illegal ballots.Here, I'll show you they're illegal.
Put the adultery tweet up first.The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has now ordered them again to stop counting illegal ballots that were not signed.They're illegal.There is no question about it.There is no debate about it.They are illegal ballots.
Here's the Bucks County Commissioner publicly on video.You think we're playing cutesy time still?Like, ah, double barrel middle finger to you losers.I'm just going to count them anyway because I just really don't care.Watch this.
We reject all three categories of these ballots.Your motion is to reject or dismiss the challenges in this category in front of you?Correct, yep.
Not going to second that, mostly because I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country.And people violate laws anytime they want.
So for me, if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it.
Folks, the saddest thing is, that's not fake.Justin didn't edit that.That's not AI.That actually happened. And you're worried about Matt Gaetz, that he parties.And I'm not interested in that right now.I'm interested in saving the Republic folks.
Sorry.I just want to update the check.Can we have a candid conversation about something?I don't want to, I I'm hesitant to do this because it sounds It sounds like I'm lecturing people and I'm in no position to do that.
Matter of fact, the whole purpose of this is I'm not lecturing people cause I'm in no position to do it.
But for those of you out there who may be new to politics and still idealistic who don't get it yet and like, well, Matt Gaetz is accused of this and this and this, by the way, they're accusations.It doesn't mean they're real.
It means they're accusations.Trump was accused of being a Russian asset.So it was Tulsi Gabbard.That's not real either. even if every single accusation was true.Folks, a lot of powerful, great men who've changed the world.I got news for you, man.
I'm not saying they are or aren't.I'm just telling you, a lot of them have been really bad men.When you're in the secret service as long as I was, and you're sitting around the power centers, but you're not in them.
You're just why you're like a fly on the wall, but you see it. Folks, I'm telling you, man, a lot of these people are really bad people.They are.
So all I'm trying to say to you is if you're using good or bad as a metric to appoint people who could change the country for the better, you're going to lose because they're all bad.So forget it.
Your only metric at this point should be who is going to use the tools of the constitution to move our country in a better direction.And a fair criticism you can come back with is, well, Dan, you're a Christian, right?
Shouldn't we, shouldn't we at least try to find good people?Here's my answer.Yeah. But you're not going to.Because anybody seeking that kind of power, I'm sorry, but they're mostly bad people.Sorry to tell you that, man.
You get on the other side of this, you'll see what I'm talking about.All you can do is appoint people who will do the right thing, even if they don't always do the right thing in their personal life.I hope that sinks in.
I want to show you a great clip from my friend Lisa Booth.She was on Fox yesterday.You know, all that talk from the Democrats, election deniers, all this other shit, you know, condemning us for calling out the shenanigans in 2020.
Remember if you even mentioned Pennsylvania, what happened in the 2020 election? that I believe was stolen from President Trump, and I believe Pennsylvania was at the forefront of it, with all their illegal last-minute rules changes.
They told you, don't talk about that.You're not even allowed to bring this up.Where the hell was Governor Josh Shapiro, the Democrat from Pennsylvania, when one of his commissioners is openly talking about violating the law?
The answer is, he didn't say shit. until the Pennsylvania Supreme Court spoke out and then he gave a milquetoast segment.
Here's Lisa Booth bringing up that point that all these big frauds, oh you guys are election deniers, they have an actual election denier who just admitted it publicly and nobody said a word.You want to still play cutesy time with these people?
Beyond that, you can go back to the 2008 Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken.Al Franken did come back.But it was a 0.02% difference.225 votes was the difference.So there is no path for Senator Casey here.
What he is doing is small and petty.It is wrong.And also, where is Governor Josh Shapiro in the state of Pennsylvania?This is a state issue.He is ignoring county commissioners, openly saying, not only am I breaking the law, but I'm bragging about it.
I'm rubbing it in your face. And so where is he?So shame on you, Josh Shapiro, if you think about running in 2028, we're looking at you, buddy.
He didn't say anything.The governor of Pennsylvania, the Democrat.I thought they were, you've got an actual election denier in a public position.Folks, this woman needs to be investigated and potentially criminally charged if she broke the law.
No, no dialing that back. If the new incoming Justice Department does not start making serious investigations and potential arrests, you're going to see stuff like this.Freaking ridiculous.You still think it's cutesy time too?
Who in the chat lives in Arizona? Your governor is the single most pathetic politician anywhere in the country.I have never seen someone so weak in my life.She reminds me of Gretchen from Mean Girls.She is so inappropriate for the position.
I have never, ever seen a figure this weak in public office.Ever. Katie Hobbs is a disaster.How is this woman the governor of a critical border state like Arizona?It escapes me.But on to the cutesy time thing.You're mad at Matt Gaetz.
You've got a Bucks County commissioner openly saying, we're going to steal an election or try to on video.And you've got Katie Hobbs, the Democrat communist governor of Arizona,
right here suggesting in this clip that you know what if they come in, Tom Holman and the new border chief, if they come in with President Trump and try to clear the state out of illegals that are destroying the state of Arizona, that she's not only going to object, she's going to do everything to basically violate the law and help the illegals at the expense of the citizens of Arizona.
You still want to play cutesy, Tom?Listen, they talk about this openly.Check this out.
Would you as governor allow state police and National Guard to carry out mass deportations?
We will not be participating in misguided efforts that harm our communities and I've been incredibly clear about that.
So you disagree with mass deportations and the fact that the president-elect says that's what he's going to be working on day one?
Well, I think that those efforts are going to divert needed resources that we need here on these drug interdiction and smuggling and trafficking efforts to keep harm out of our communities.
Wait, what?So illegal migrants who are using these illegal trafficking trails across the border to shuttle drugs and children for sex trafficking
that getting those illegal migrants and shutting those things down is gonna divert resources from investigations into drug and sex trafficking?If you're scratching your head going, what the, did you just say?This woman is a freaking idiot.
She is a moron. Now all of a sudden, by the way, Katie Hobbs is saying, hey, immigration's a state Arizona issue, not a federal issue.That's fascinating.Because when Arizona under Republican Governor Jan Brewer, remember this?
Introduced SB 1070 so that Arizona could use their state laws to shut down illegal immigrant trafficking. The same lefties said, no, no, no, including the ACLU.Immigration's a federal issue, not a state issue.
And they called it the show me your papers law.Here's the ACLU statement on it.You can see it yourself in case you think we're fudging the numbers on this.Amazing how their position changes, right?
When you want it to be a federal issue, because there's a Republican governor in Arizona trying to shut down illegal immigration, you call any law, show me your papers, like, no, no, that's the Fed's problem.There it is right there.
Show me your papers.But now that Katie Hobbs wants the border in Arizona open, she's like, it's not a federal issue, no, it's my issue.These people are disgusting liars.They are garbage.You want to play cute with these people? What are you, insane?
These people are running roughshod over the country.Folks, that woman wins reelection.Evacuate the state of Arizona as soon as you can.She is a moron.She is getting people killed right now with her open border policies.And it's disgusting.
Folks, people are policy.I need you to understand that.You know, fair enough. You listen on Apple, Spotify, you're in the live chat, watching us live, watching us on demand.
A fair criticism of the show today may be, Dan, you know, you're spending a lot of time on people and appointees, Hegseth, Gates, Tulsi, Kash Patel.Why?
Folks, if there's one lesson I learned in the government as a political candidate, and now, you know, 10 years in podcasts and radio and TV, believe me, I've been there. It's that people are policy.Do you understand that?No, Dan.Policy is policy.
No, it isn't.Prove it.Okay.Supreme Court said that Joe Biden cannot use the federal treasury to pay off people's student loans.Did he do it? He did.Why did he do it?
Because Joe Biden is a person who's a communist liberal who doesn't care about the policy.I'm not suggesting ignoring policy is a good idea.I'm telling you that policy is often open-ended and open to interpretation.
You have people who can interpret policy the right constitutional way, you're going to get good policy.You have people like Joe Biden who view it through a communist lens, they're going to use that policy to do anything.
That's why people in these positions, the right people, are so critical.You get a deep stater, they're going to view it through a deep state lens and do deep state stuff and use the policy as an excuse.
You want to shut the border down and ice out people like Commie Katie Hobbs?Worst governor in the country?That's why we got this guy.We got to fight for him too.Borders are, so he should be okay.Tom Homan.
Here's Tom Homan talking about the border priorities.This is what we're doing.And if you're not going to cooperate and you're going to break the law, you may find yourself under investigation.Listen to this.
As far as the deportation operation, we will prioritize public safety threats and national security threats, because they pose a big danger to the United States.He's got three rails.
So we'll do the deportation operation with the priorities I just talked to you, out of the gate.That'd be the priorities.Second thing is secure that border.Lock that border down and catch a release and secure the border.
The third rail is, we've got over 300,000 missing children. that over half a million children have been trafficked into the United States.This administration released them to unvetted sponsors, and they can't find 300,000.
And based on my three and a half decades, some of these children are in forced labor.We already found some in forced labor.Some are in forced sex trafficking.Some of them are pedophiles.We need to save these children.
That's going to be the third rail.
You get a guy with Homan viewing it through a constitutional section 212F perspective where we can exclude the president, any class of aliens for any reason for any amount of time, he's going to interpret that policy to mean exactly what it says it means.
You can't come in.You can't come in. Because when you let people in and you interpret that to mean, oh, you know what?That means I can also unrestricted and let anybody in.You're going to get incidents like this.
Did you hear this abomination yesterday at the Lake and Riley trial in Georgia? The suspect in the case is on trial for the murder of Lake and Riley.
Here's testimony in the trial, it's just quick, where one of his friends says that, yeah, they were brought into the country and were flown to Georgia by the Biden administration.Can you imagine this?
that this prime suspect in the case was like airlifted into his state and is now the suspect in a horrific murder?These are the people you're dealing with, you wanna play Q with them?No, they actually said this under oath, listen to this.
What else that you got to know that you lived with while you were here in Athens?Someone else that you got to know, that lived with you here in Athens?
And how did you get to Athens?In New York, we asked, in Manhattan, in Hotel Roosevelt, in Manhattan, we requested for a humanitarian flight to come here to Atlanta.
I mean, what else could you possibly want to hear, folks?That's an under oath testimony by a witness in the case that the suspect in a atrocity, the brutal murder of this young woman, was flown into the state by your president and his team.
People are policy.And I don't want you to forget these other folks, too, they're appointing.Lee Zeldin at EPA.Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC.They are all going to be critical.It's not about palace intrigue.
These appointees, these are major, major positions.You interested in free speech?Censorship?Internet growth?AI? This guy Brendan Carr Trump nominated yesterday at FCC's a rock star.
His name's gonna get lost in this with Gates and Hegseth and Tulsi and Bobby Kennedy and others.But this is huge.
Here he is up on Capitol Hill just a little bit ago talking about the disastrous broadband rollout where you paid billions of dollars and they haven't connected a single freaking home.This guy's a huge advocate for breaking up the censorship cartel.
This guy could be one of the top five most important appointees yet.Watch this.
In 2021, Vice President Harris agreed to lead the administration's signature $42 billion effort to extend Internet service to millions of Americans.It's now been 1,039 days since that program was enacted.
After all of that time, not one person has been connected to the Internet, not one home, not one business. Not even one shovel worth of dirt has been turned.And it gets worse.
No infrastructure builds will even start until sometime next year at the earliest.And in many cases, not until 2026.
These guys are important.I think I made my point.People are policy and don't neglect guys like that. You know, we've got the high-profile names that are on the marquee and the billboard, but these guys are important, too, and women out there.
We're gonna transform government, folks.I'm telling you, the culture has changed.The culture.What did Breitbart say?Politics is downstream of culture.The culture's changing.You've got these guys.
No, this isn't Rock'em Sock'em Robots doing the Trump dance.You know the Trump dance he does?Everybody's doing the Trump dance.The culture is changing. Nobody's taking a knee anymore in the NFL.I may actually start watching it.
You got people doing it.You got Brock Bowers doing it.And you got the team trying to screw him over.But I'm seriously considering watching the football again now.Now you've got people doing the Trump dance.You got John Jones doing the Trump dance.
The culture is changing.It is critical.Don't neglect this. Judge Jeanine, did you hear it last night, did an incredible segment on The Five on this.
She did about two minutes, this is only about a minute of it, but she's talking about this pivotal inflection point we're at right now.
We're now where we've been the minority, the aggrieved minority for a long time, censoring us, sticking shots in us, telling us do this and do that, wiping our Facebook accounts out, fact-checking, fake fact-checking us.We're now winning.
They're now becoming the minority.We're winning. Listen to this.
Media doesn't deserve to be trusted.Maybe the media deserves exactly what they've gotten because they did lie to us.They lied to us about Russia collusion.They got themselves Nobel Peace Prizes and all kinds of prizes.They didn't give them back.
We found out there was nothing to it.We were at each other's throats for four years over this nonsense. So, you know what, what's happening now is people are feeling good because they have literally extricated themselves from this legacy media.
They've moved on to social media because they recognize that the legacy media is in with big tech, is in with the Democrat Party, and it's not doing anybody any good.But what we're seeing right now is how the Democrats boxed us.
We were in this box and you were in that box and we were in this box.Now all of a sudden Trump gets elected.It's one box.All the edges have fallen off the boxes.We are happy.
You've got footballers and you've got golfers and you've got prize fighters and they're all doing the dance.Maybe because these guys who eight years ago may have taken a knee.
The truth is they know when they go home that their family is suffering in the big cities. that their families aren't being protected because of cashless bail and because of the fact that there are illegals who aren't vetted who are in this country.
Folks, please don't write this off.That is a brilliant take by Judge Jeanine.She is 100 percent correct.Don't laugh off the Trump dance thing.I've told you this for a long time.It's not about athletes like, oh, great athletes are in.
You got I'm sorry.You know, I appreciate guys, but getting bodies guys relate to the game.That's not the point.We'd rather have you on the field than not, even if you get in in the fourth quarter.Right.
The point is they're sending a signal to the rest of the world that it's okay.It's okay to come out of the house.I heard Hulk Hogan say last night on Laura Ingram, Terry Bollea, that he said, he used this word.I'm not saying it.
He says, I was a coward for a long time.I voted for Trump.I didn't want to say anything.I was afraid of my business, but I'm not anymore.
You're going to see more people coming out, celebrate the fact that you were the first mover, but folks, please don't shut them out. Some people take longer to see the light.That's just the way it is.
You guys were courageous from the start and I applaud you.We have never wavered here either.The receipts are everywhere.However, don't kick them out of the pool.Don't.We need them.The culture's changing.Embrace it.It's for good.
