First, ladies and gentlemen, last week, just to show you again, you are not wasting your freaking time here. We ran this segment about how Donald Trump had called out California on their water usage in their efforts to protect a three-inch fish called the smelt. We accurately predicted, yet again, that within moments, that it would come out that Donald Trump is a serial hater of fish. First, let's play the clip and let's show you how the batting average, look at this, like Tony Quinn and Ron Caru, I'm not even a lefty, is close to a thousand. They weren't a thousand, but the closest you're going to get, watch this. If you're asking, what the fuck is the smelt? It's this little fish he's talking about. And Justin just said it right. The media reports the following, Donald Trump hates fish.

He really can't stand He wants all the fish dead. Grupper, Trout, all of them. Kill them damn fish. He's a Nazi homicidal fish Holocaust guy. He wants fish dead. Sidekick, roundhouse. Rear naked joke, triangle joke, arm Now, we're in the jiu-jitsu, too. Not just karate, man. Vox, the next day. If you're curious if this is the media imbecile of the day, it would be, but today, there's a bigger imbecile. Benji Jones from Vox with a TV, not Fox with an F. Left-wing Fox. Why does Trump hate this tiny fish so much? It happened to Ken. It happened to Ken. Folks in the chat, do we not... All right, let's get to some serious stuff because this was the easiest prediction in the world that they were going to predict Trump as a serial hater of fish. Wants to wipe out all fish now. I wake up this morning and I have to cover some serious stuff about the FBI. I warned National Review about an hour ago, Come get your boy here, Johnny Fund. They didn't listen. I will wait for an update to this article, and Just so you know, National Review, I'm not planning on suing you for this or anything like that.

It's just you guys are just assholes. But this is obviously a lie and a made-up story. But there's a point here, folks. I know it's hard for many of you to believe... Well, maybe not you in my chat. You guys are smart. But there are some people who are maybe new to the show, who are some liberals, who are tuning in to hear crazy Dan Bongino and how he's right all the time, and they just I don't believe it. I've tried to tell people for a long time that the media, both right-wing anti-Trump lunatics and left-wingers, I'm telling you, they make stuff up. I know this is hard for you to believe because you're like, Wait, Just like defamation law and it's supposed to be some journalistic integrity and standards. When they write something, they're supposed to back it up with some data or some appropriate sourcing, double verified and checked. If not, say you're speculating. They don't do that. I'm telling you, they make stuff up. It is not just the left. This is why I hate when people are, Dan Borgino, right wing. I'm right wing, nothing. I am a conservatorian. When people on the right side of the aisle say dumb shit, I call them out, too.

I read this article someone sends to me this morning, and they're like, Wow, I didn't know you had this much power. Michael just said it to me, too. He's like, Dan, you're so powerful. You got Pete Hegset and Matt Gates appointed He didn't selected or selected for these positions in Trump's cabinet. I was like, I did? Holy shit, that's crazy. So he sends me this article by John Fund at National Review. If you guys have any integrity, including John Fund, I'll expect an apology and a revision, and I'm going to make an offer to John Fund at the end of this. Okay? Oh, thank you. Found my tweet. National Review, come get your boy Johnny Fund before I destroy him on my show at 11:00. Clock's ticking. I have not seen an update. If you guys want to pull this article, I'd love to see it. The article is called Pete I said there's a Walking Dead nominee. It goes into how Susie Wiles, who is now Donald Trump's Chief of Staff, who I barely know. I don't like or dislike. I don't know her. I met her at a fundraiser. I paid to get it.

I did not ask for any benefits. I wanted to support Donald Trump because I'm not a hypocrite. I said hello to her. She was very nice and kind to me. I have no beef with Susie Wiles at all. She ran a great campaign. They won. She's now the Chief of There. John Funn writes that Susie Wiles is now as incoming Chief of Staff, helped pilot Trump do an electoral effort that was a model of discipline. But she made a mistake once the election was over, fun notes. She took a few days off. Within that week, Trump, urging in Susie Wiles' absence by such kitchen cabinet advisors as his son, Don Jr, Tucker Carlson, and radio talk show host, Dan Bongino, had chosen Matt Gates as his nominee for attorney general, and Fox News host, Pete Hankset, as He's a nominatee for Secretary Defense. Ladies and gentlemen, John Funn is a fucking liar. He is making this story up. I had absolutely nothing to do with this whatsoever. Guys, all of you right now, everybody, listen up. Justin, take your headphones off, okay? When Pete Hegset was chosen as Secretary Defense, and I came in the next day.

Do you remember the story I told you? I was sitting there, I was watching Fox News I think it was Laura Ingres show, and I was as shocked as anyone else about Pete Hegset. I had no idea about Pete Hegset. Matt Gates, I had absolutely nothing at all to do with Matt Gates. After Trump picked him, I support Donald Trump's pics. He knows something I don't. If he picked him, fine. Matt Gates didn't work out. This is a totally 100% made up story. So, Bongino Army, we are the most powerful talk show, radio show, digital broadcast, podcast, anywhere out there, bar none. There isn't even a close second. Show John Funn what we're made of. Be cool, be respectful, but tweet to John Funn, the NRO. Here's the deal. You guys cool with this deal? By the way, they all said they'll take a cut in their salary to finance this. Wait, John. I didn't say that shit. I'll pay for it myself. This is a serious offer. This is not a joke to John Fund. I made the same offer to fill a bump at the Washington Post, he never collected his money. This is easy money, $100,000 in cash.

I'm not kidding. I am as serious as a freaking heart attack. In cash, I will even buy the suitcase. You got to take care of it with the IRS to I heard it's income. I don't care. I'm telling you, I will give you $100,000 in cash. I usually go, Oh, we'll give it to a charity. You do what you want with it. I don't care if you spend it, burn it, give it a charity. I will give you $100,000 in cash if you can prove to me or anyone else or provide a shred of evidence that I was involved in the selection of Matt Gates or Pete Hegset for Secretary of Defense and Attorney General. Easiest money you'll ever make. This is right off the If they haven't changed it yet? They still... So this is right off the website right now. I will offer John Fun $100,000 in cash. I am absolutely not kidding. Provide proof to me publicly and anyone else that I had something to do with this line right here. Within that week, urgent Susie Weil's absence by a kitchen cabinet that I was his advisor and I was involved in the choosing of Matt Gates and Pete Heggsett.

Easy money, folks. National Review is lying to you. They published this. John Fund is lying to you. And folks, there's a point here. The point here is that this is not about me. It's not about me. I'm willing to give the guy $100 $1,000 if he can prove any of that is actually true. He made it up. The story is just fabricated because he's an angry, bitter piece of shit who just makes up stories because he doesn't like me or Tucker or Don Jr. The point is, be careful who you trust. I'm your friend, right? I hope you're here watching. I hope you trust me. I'm willing to put my own money, and I am dead serious. That's a lot of money, $100,000 in cash. I'll give it to him. No questions asked if he I'm going to prove that's true, that I was involved in the choosing of either these two people. You know how many conversations I had with the Trump team about picking Matt Gates or Pete Heggseth? That's not a heart. My wife does this when she comes home in the morning, do the truck, When she comes. That's not that.

That's a zero. Zero. You know what I found out about this? When Fox News reported it. Folks, you cannot trust anyone. This leads to my next story, a more important It's about the collapse in the entirety of institutions we once trusted and the danger for our own personal security when you can't trust people. People you should be able to trust. Folks, the job of the media, the job of the FBI, and the job of the Pentagon, why I do support Pete Heggseth now, by the way, I had nothing to do with his choosing. The word's right there. When When you can't trust these people, the media to report facts, how the hell are we all going to make collective decisions we need to make? If an imminent threat were to come in tomorrow to say Russia is getting ready to hyperbolic example, but one that maybe you'll nail home the gravity of what I'm discussing. When the credibility of institutions like the media, the Pentagon, the FBI, collapses, what happens tomorrow? Say, God forbid, something breaks really bad in the Ukraine Vladimir Putin war, right? Putin says, I'm getting ready to launch a nuke to take out the East Coast.

Folks, do you understand if it comes from the FBI, the woke Pentagon leadership in the media, that probably close to 30 to 40% of America is just not going to believe it? This is serious shit. This is just a minor story about me. But it goes to show you how anti-Trump, I hate the TDS thing because it's We trumped derangement syndrome. But it's like a prion. It's like a virus that infects these people's brains. In their zeal to attack people they don't like, like me, they can't get their heads out of their own asses and realize that making stuff up makes nobody believe anything. Nobody would prepare. Russia is getting ready to launch a nuke. You know what everybody's going to say? Bullshit. Sigh up. It could be real. Here's what I mean. This is the story I wanted to start. I know it's hard to believe that they make stuff up. Really, even for you, you're probably, Come on, they don't just make it up. This is just made up. Sixty-one minutes. Of course, they added a minute to protect Kamala Harris. You know the show, 61 Minutes, the Sur Network. That's right. Good point.

Talk about making things up. Sixty-one Minutes, airing an interview with disgraced, now soon to be former FBI Director Chris Ray. Folks, I'm telling you not to ignore this. Here's the problem right now. This is when institutions fail. This problem, Christopher Ray is about to talk about, about China infiltrating our infrastructure, I'm telling you is real. I have heard it from people, insiders who absolutely love this country, who way before Christopher Ray was in charge, were telling me this is a problem, that China has infiltrated our infrastructure. They've stolen our data. I know they stole data because the OPM hack of all the government personnel records? My records were stolen, my secret service records. I got a note in the mail. Was the government going to steal their own records? This is real. The problem is the FBI's credibility is such shit that if they want to shut us off our infrastructure, our Internet, our water supply, no one's going to believe it because these people are full of shit. Check this out. China's cyber program is by far and away the world's largest. Bigger than that of every major nation combined and has stolen more of Americans' personal and corporate data than that of every nation, big or small, combined.

But even beyond the cyber theft, there's another part of the Chinese cyber threat that I think has not gotten the attention publicly that it, I think, desperately deserves. That is Chinese government's pre-positioning on American civilian critical infrastructure infrastructure, to lie in wait on those networks, to be in a position to wreak havoc and can inflict real-world harm at a time and place of their choosing. The Chinese have already insinuated malware into critical American infrastructure. That's correct. What? Things like water treatment plants. We're talking about transportation systems. We're talking about targeting of our energy sector, the electric grid, natural gas pipelines. And recently, we've seen targeting of our telecommunications system. Folks, this is real. Now, here's the obvious problem. Number one is what I talked about, when the credibility of institutions, because like the FBI, that lie to us all the time about everything. January sixth, the Fed involvement, the pipe bomber case, the attack on Moms for Liberty, the attack on the lifers, the attack on parents who show up at school boards, the attack on people who wear MAGA hats, the January sixth debacle where the FBI spent countless millions of dollars in manpower hours on a bunch of grandmas walking inside open doors inside the capital, telling us white supremacy is the biggest threat to humankind.

Now, all of a sudden, this coward chump walks out of office and goes, Oh, by the way, all that's bullshit. That China could wipe out America tomorrow. The problem is it's real. And this piece of garbage didn't do shit. He's the same guy who told us Antifa was just an idea. The biggest threat is white supremacy. And now walking out of door this coward. Courd? Yeah, I'm talking to you. A man of no human dignity at all. Now you walk out the door on left wing Communist 61 Minutes, the Sur Network, And you tell us all, Oh, by the way, China is the biggest threat. We were just kidding about that other stuff. Folks, nobody's going to believe these people. There is a concept in economics you need to understand called opportunity lost. If you don't understand it, you'll never understand the dynamics of resource allocation. If you allocate the eight hours in an FBI's workday to going out and getting grandma who walked in the door on January sixth, he's not investigating the potentially hundreds of thousands of China-connected intel agents and people around the world who are stealing data and infiltrating critical infrastructure.

Don't give us your bullshit now that, Oh, this is the most important threat. It's been the most important threat. This is what happens when you get losers in the anti-Trump National Review ecosystem, left-wing Chuck Todd, who I hear is leaving MBC, the FBI tracking down MAGA hat wearers, the Pentagon talking about woke ideology and white rage to Mark Millie. Nobody trusts anything anymore. People are full of shit. We have four years, basically two and two, before the midterms, to clean this mess up or you're not going to have a country. Because, folks, the Biden reign of destruction isn't even over yet. But, Dan, it's only a A week away. You haven't seen the end of this yet. I'll show you what I mean coming up next. Got to take a quick break. Folks, I'm telling you, I'm going to do everything I can to establish a relationship backed on trust. I'm not going to lie to you here. If we screw something up, we're going to tell you. We've done it before. The best thing you can do is come out. Remember I told you Christine Blasey for it and think she would show up?

She did. I had to come on the air and say, Listen, we screwed that up. I really didn't think she was going to show up. I thought the story was crap. I still do. However, showed up. We screw up, we're going to tell you. But I'll tell you, man, outside of a couple of small errors, our batting average been 1,000 on Spygate, the Hunter Laptop, J6, the Fed involvement, the Pipe Bomer, I'm not going to let you down. More coming up next. Hey, a lot of us are trying to get our finances in order to start the year off right. There's some great news for homeowners. Interest rates have dropped.

All right, back to the show. You think the Biden reign of destruction is over? Ladies Ladies and gentlemen, this guy's about to give a bunch of lying speeches about his foreign policy successes. Really, which ones? The Afghanistan withdrawal, your fantastic job in the Middle East preventing terror attacks, your fantastic job preventing terror attacks here at HomeAmy. What exactly is your success story anywhere around the world. Here's another one. Biden administration now announces sweeping deportation shield for nearly one million immigrants. Folks, I told you, one million immigrants who invaded our country illegally are now protected from legal consequences. You have Biden now in the last few weeks. Have you ever seen a presidency leave with such a record of mass destruction?

Shielding illegals from the consequences of their actions. I don't know that's going to happen to you. You think you're going to get a tax amnesty if you don't pay your taxes Yeah, sure. Ocs, Outer Continental Shelf Drilling, which is going to destroy gas prices. A bunch of pardons for felons and really genuinely awful people. All the money getting flushed out the door with no accountability. The censorship regime Biden doubling down on that. Folks, we're in this point right now. I read that article to you last week where we're living in this almost post-Soviet Union glassnose period when the old Soviet Union fell. In the early days of attempted reform that's now backtracked under Putin. But however, they did try early on, the media was allowed to report when the Soviet Union fell apart and collapsed and Russia had a consolidated interest. The media was reporting on some of the atrocities that happened during the hard core Ammonist era. There was an interesting Wall Street Journal article last week comparing that, the media freedom, afterwards when they reported on what's happening now in the United States now that Biden is leaving office. You're seeing some, a very limited number, but some media people starting to report on the atrocities that happen in the Biden years.

Always, always, always measure the effectiveness of something that's happening by the response of your enemy. I'm asking the media, are you going to start to cover now the the whole scope of the censorship that happened during the Biden and Obama years, and the Trump years, by the way, not by the Trump administration, but by external entities censoring Trump. Are you now going to start to put aside your full of shit filter and cover the media censorship that happened. I want you to watch this video. Here is Biden last week. You may have missed this with everything going on. He's in an absolute panic now that Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook meta, that he has said they're not going to be fact-checking anymore. I'm holding on this. I'm going to see results. No one deserves a round of applause until I see actual action. I'm watching the distribution of my page. They're claiming it's going to go up because I'm not going to be censored anymore. We'll see. I'll be watching. Always measure the response by your enemy's response. Here's Biden freaking out because they're no longer going to censor. They're saying they're no longer going to censor Conservatives, and liberals are full of shit.

The Democrat Party does not exist without censorship. Watch this. Let's take a listen. Of walking away from fact-checking as well as not reporting anything having to do with discrimination regarding to TPS. I find to be just contrary to justice American, the way we talk about one another. Telling the truth matters. Telling the truth matters from the biggest lying sack of shit in presidential history, a guy who has lied about everything. I've had no business relationship with my son. Well, I've had some, but I didn't mean... Well, I met with them, but this guy is a liar. 51 intelligence officials say it isn't a laptop. Donald Trump is a Russian asset. The biggest lying sack of shit in presidential history is saying, Telling the truth matters, this guy. Okay? I see Hub is looking at Abba 66 in the chat on the Facebook thing says, Hold. Hold. Hold. Hold. Hold Wait. Do not get emotional about the Facebook thing. I can't beg you, plea with you enough. Do not make it an emotional thing. If this platform is going to stop the bullshit, then watch what happens. If they don't, we call them out. If they do, fantastic.

Use it to go spread the MAGA message. Do not get emotional about it. Biden's freaking out because the Democrat Party cannot exist without gaslighting. What's gaslighting? Pop quiz for those in the chat. Lying, lying often, lying confidently and isolating people from the truth. If you don't have those four things, you cannot gaslight people into believing masks work. Isolating people from the truth, in other words, censorship, is a critical component. They cannot Exists the Democrat Party without gaslighting and isolating you from the truth, because everything they tell you is a lie about taxes, health care, education, government spending, vaccines, masks, school choice, defense, woke policies, everything. Here's the clip that got a lot of attention. This is Mark Zuckerberg on Rogan last week. This is what they're talking about. Folks, this was a full-court media press by Facebook. They are out there right now. They're not hiding this. What they say is a pivot. Hubba 66 is right. Everyone needs to hold. Do not get emotional. Let's watch and see what happens. Apply the Bonchino rule. However, Zuckerberg, they were everywhere with this, trying to put out this claimed change in direction. We'll see what happens, but this was the clip that one nuclear.

Check this out.when they were trying to roll out the vaccine program. I'm generally pretty pro rolling out vaccines. I think on balance, the vaccines are more positive than negative. But I think that while they're trying to push that program, they also tried to censor anyone who is basically arguing against it. And they pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly were true. They basically pushed us and said, Anything that says that vaccines might have side effects, you basically need to take down. And I was just like, We're not going to do that. We're clearly not going to do I mean, that is inarguably true. Who is they? Who's telling you to take down things that talk about vaccine side effects? It was people in the Biden administration. I think it was... I wasn't involved in those conversations directly, Everybody, hold. Just hold. Let's see what they do, and then we'll digest it, we'll regroup, and we're not going to get emotional about it and do liberal bumper sticker emotions. Coexist. Tolerance. I want you to understand this. Everybody ready? Beam in. Horse blinkers on, man. Understand this. The Democrat Party is one big lie.

Republicans are confident, solid, conservative libertarian Republicans who aren't bullshit artists like John Funn, okay? Are absolutely confident that what they're telling you is an accurate representation of how human beings should govern themselves. Freedom and liberty matter in the economic space, the education space or elsewhere. We are absolutely I'm going to go to the mat and defend it. The Democrats are not. That's why they are bedrocked in censorship. They would not exist without censorship. That's why the fire story in Los Angeles is so devastating, because they've been able to hide the data on vaccines, hide the data on masks, hide the data on school choice. In other words, it's out there, but they're not going to publicize. You can't hide a freaking fire. One of America's most liberal places is burning to the ground, and there's no way for a government now that has claimed to solve all your problems, give us your money, 50% of you are going to be able to fix your problems. There's no way to hide the fact that they can't do shit. The Emperor has no clothes. That's why this story is outside of the obvious human tragedy is so devastating to the liberal governing model.

An update on that coming up in a second. Remember, opportunity costs. When you waste your time attacking Donald Trump and Mom's for Liberty, you're not going after China infiltrating in the grid, and you're certainly not doing fire prevention either. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a second. Everything's tied together. Folks, I lost a lot of weight. I think you noticed that. You could see if you go look at my old videos. I was about 230, I think 238 at my max. I didn't like being heavy anymore. I was lifting, I was still doing my cardio, but my joints got beat up. So I needed to lose some weight. Miles from Brickhouse said, Hey, give this product a try. It's called Lean, L-E-A-N. It was created by a medical doctor in a university researcher. Folks, if you have a few pounds to lose, it's not for you. Diet can clean it up. If you have 10 pounds or more, try lean. I lost 30 pounds on it. The results speak for themselves. You can see it. The science behind lean is impressive. It's naturally studied ingredients target weight loss and In similar ways.

It worked for me. Lean helps maintain healthy blood sugar, helps control appetite, and cravings, helps you burn fat by converting fat to energy.

Many hardworking Americans don't. The IRS stepped up enforcement. If you owe back taxes or if unfound returns, don't wait for the IRS before you act. Waiting to get caught can make you look like a tax evader. It's probably not going to end well. Getting ahead of this is a smart move. But now, don't contact the IRS alone.

The Democrat Party is built entirely on a bedrock of lies covered up by the gaslighting media and the anti-Trump right. They're both involved in the same effort. They would not exist. Here's why the story is so devastating. I want you to watch this first. This is a news report out of the West Coast, out of California.

The California legislature is watching the primary economic engine of its state, Los Angeles, and this economic powerhouse, which it is, burn to the ground. What are these left-wing dipshits up to? Reinforcing their state for their anti-Trump agenda moving forward. I wish I was kidding, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not. Watch this. Despite several empty seats in the chamber because of the LA wildfires, the Democratic State Assembly gabbled into its special legislative session to prepare for incoming President, Donald Trump. I'd ask that you keep in mind- Governor Newsom called the special session shortly after the election. As fires raged in Southern California, state lawmakers still prioritize their anti-Trump work. They established a committee and set a hearing for the legislation that sets aside $25 million to prepare for legal battles with the incoming administration. I'm here to address this. Democratic Assembly Speaker, Robert Rivas didn't want to talk about it afterwards. Oh, here's more of California Democrat, liberal Communist Speaker, Robert Reevis. I'm actually shocked here. Here is a media person actually doing actual reporting, which is a stunning thing to see because you so rarely see it, asking this dips shit of a human being, Robert Reevis, as the economic engine of its state burns down and people lose everything.

I saw a story this morning on cable of a 99-year old grandmother who had her entire house wiped out. And what's the $25 million going for him? Suing Donald Trump, who's not even in office yet. Folks, I can't even tell you the depravity of the scum running the state of California. Here's a a supporter asking this guy questions like, Hey, bro, the state's burning down right now. Maybe we should have some different priorities than a special session about Trump. Watch this dips shit. He can't even answer the question. Check this out. I could take a couple of questions. I do have to jump on a call here. With that, with what you just mentioned and kicked off here, is now the right time to have a special legislative session on allocating money to fight Trump in a way that you could already do without a special legislative session? I'm here to address these wildfires. This is a historic wildfire. This is a historic event. These wildfires, as I mentioned, are going to be quite possibly some of the worst wildfires of disasters in the state and in national history. But minutes ago, in your house, while this wildfire is happening, and while people are trying to understand what's going on and are worried about disaster relief, worried about the ability to get homeowners insurance, your chamber gabbled into a special legislative session to prepare for Donald Trump in a way that you are already able to do without a special legislative session.

So, again, is now the right time for that. Certainly, our focus right now is speaker, Ashley. At this moment, my colleagues and I, we are acting with great urgency. Folks, I don't know this media person at all, but Justin brought up a good point. My guess is either she's been personally affected or someone she knows has or someone she knows knows someone who's had the tragic situation like I did earlier in my life of a house house burning down where everything you ever had is destroyed and you won't even figure it out till later in life and you need something that burned. When it becomes personal liberalism, the gaslighting is harder. You cannot isolate people from the truth and censor them from hearing about how masks don't do shit when their house is burning down. Understand, the governor and the liberal mayor of Los Angeles, Karen and Gavin Newsom, they have sold you on a vision, correct? Give us half of your money. The government can solve your problems, and we will fix the big things for you. Ladies and gentlemen, not only they can't do the little things, they can't do the big things.

Santa Ana Wins have been there forever. I was reading a story the other day about how in the mid-1500s, explorers first saw the Bay in the areas over there, and they called it the Bay of Smoke because lightning would strike and the Santa Ana Wins would stir up wildfires. This has been happening forever. The bullshit government, which has stolen your money has done Jack Squad except pretend to smelt. Here's Adam Schiff, the newly elected senator. Here he is on TV. Now, he has done some hits talking about this fire, but he's the newly elected senator, this scumbag, this lying Russian collusion hoaxer, this piece of shit who looked in the television on the Tucker Carlson show on Fox, looked in the camera and lied to America saying he had evidence of collusion falsely. Here he is on TV. This guy should be only discussing his state burning to the ground. What's he worried about? Calling Donald Trump a convicted felon. That's who this piece of shit is. Check this out. What I had been hoping is that the judge would sentence the president to whatever any other similarly situated felon would receive by way of sentence.

Now, that did not happen, and it didn't happen for a reason that the judge properly articulated, which is this man, this now convicted felon, is going to be the President of the United States. Of course, this goes on forever, him talking about convicted felon. Ladies and gentlemen, you shouldn't brace it. Donald Trump is a political prisoner. He has for a long time. Just because he's not in jail doesn't mean he isn't a prisoner. The mechanism of the state he has been. Now we're going to dismantle it. What did I tell you on Friday? The goal is, does anybody remember? It was three words. The goal moving forward, don't ever forget this, It's total personnel warfare from this point on. Total personnel warfare. Total. Everybody gets fired. You touched it, you sniffed it, you were anywhere near an anti-Trump, weaponized government a conspiracy theory or you did nothing and sat by. Everyone gets fired. Total personnel warfare going forward. I love this. It's John Funn. Who knows? Maybe I can appoint people. He seems to think I have the power to appoint all these people. They haven't even contacted me about something I've offered. I'm the only guy in radio and podcasting telling you how little I know these people.

Do I not? Everybody else is out there Look at me, man. Trump's my right-hand guy. I'm the only one telling you he's not my right-hand guy. I've spoken to him maybe five or six times. We had dinner once in Bedmister. He doesn't call me for shit. You know how many times he's called me since the election? Take a guess. Just Listen, any idea? It's a freaking zero. What about JD Vance? He's definitely... No. Zero. They don't need to call me. What do they need to call me for? I'm the only guy telling you the truth. John Funn seems to think me and him are on the phone every day strategizing. It's the reason I don't go to all this shit. You notice you don't see me at Mar-a-Lago, do you? Happy to go. I don't go. I want you to watch this segment, too, because it goes to show you how this media operation is so hell-bent on censorship that this This CBS reporter is now offended. Cbs, which gets government funds, by the way, and I hope that changes under Donald Trump. This CBS reporter is upset that we've uncovered the truth and they lie.

She's upset we believe Donald Trump over them despite the fact that Donald Trump, whether it's about the smelt, the laptop, LA's water situation, California's water situation, Russian collusion has been right about everything, every single time. And she's upset we don't believe them more. Watch this. The President Alex team ultimately revises history whenever they want to. They did it with January sixth, and more people voted for him in 2024 than they did in 2020. When you take all of these things that people see in front of their eyes, Trump supporters and voters who supported him ultimately believe him over even what we report and believe him over the fact. Revise the history of January sixth? Donald Trump When we again revised the history of January sixth. Donald Trump and his MAGA team of investigators uncovered the truth about it. No one denies what happened. You can watch the videos. However, you guys told us there was no federal involvement at all. Did you not? There were no federal agents in the crowd. I'm telling you, that's bullshit. I've seen pictures of federal agents who've sent me pictures in the crowd working. They weren't there in their own You're upset, why?

Because people believed us. And watch when the pipe bomber story comes out, and you find out it was an insider. Then you'll find the CBS said, Oh, my gosh, you guys were right again. Speaking of January sixth, folks, this tore up the internet this weekend, too. About January sixth, federal involvement, the Pipe Bomer. Jd Vance came out this weekend, did an interview with Martha McCalm on the Fox News Sunday show. It's his first interview. We would have loved to interview him. We haven't interviewed him yet. Whatever, man. I don't even care anymore about this stuff. I want them to get their voice out there. But here's Vance on the pardon process. Going forward, what they're going to do from January sixth. A lot of people were upset. Some people thought this was the right approach. You decide. I'm here to give you the information accurately. You can hear it from his mouth. He's obviously talking to Donald Trump often. Check this out. January sixth pardons, President Trump says there's a process. Where is the line drawn on who will and wouldn't be considered for a pardon. I think it's very simple. Look, if you protested peacefully on January the sixth, and you've had Merritt Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned.

If you committed violence on that day, obviously, you shouldn't be pardoned. There's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. There are a lot of people, we think, in the wake of January the sixth who were prosecuted unfairly. We need to rectify that. I'm sorry, Shannon Bream, obviously the weekend show. Martha has the weekday show, so thanks in the chat. I've been watching that. Some people objected to that. There was a back and forth between the Hodge twins and JD Vance on Twitter about it. Some of you will object to it. Some of you agree with it. I'm here to give you the information. Ladies and gentlemen, you decide on what the proper approach is going forward. All I'm saying going forward is if Joe Biden can sit there and pardon convicted felons, I think we need to take a broad scope view of pardons on January sixth. We can't also deny a lot of stuff It's going to happen that day that shouldn't. But we should be able to get to the truth and speak the truth, truth to power on this, because people have lied to us forever.

Now, speaking of January sixth and the federal involvement in the crowd, I'm telling you happened. I'll give you a fair assessment of what happened and what I think went down that day, and I have. But they are lying to you. Barry Lautermilk is a Republican congressman. He's been doing a really good job on this pipe bomber case. Now, this is really important. He gave an interview this past week, and they are pushing in the new Congress, which is now seated. They are pushing for full subpoena power going forward to investigate what happened with this pipe bomber case, which I'm telling you is an inside job. I have zero doubt anymore. They know the identity as person. They just don't want you to know. Sipina power is important because it's not just about subpoening people within the FBI to say, What the hell did you know about that pipe bomber and when did you know it? It's about the threat of subpoena. They then have to go and get lawyers. This is the process is punishment both ways, folks. Here's Lautermilk, an update on this. This is going to be really important, and we need to watch this going forward.

Check this out. The speaker publicly tweeted out last week that we will continue the investigation and it will be fully funded and that we're going to move it to a full committee level. We're working with his office right now to get that square away, what it's going to look like. I anticipate probably a on that committee, but we'll see what we work out, which is the best way forward. Would this include subpoenas of some individuals? Well, one of the requirements would be that we would have to have full subpoena authority, which is we didn't have that during this last investigation, it was all subject to the full committee. This would actually give us the ability to issue subpoenas directly, which I think opens the door to getting more information because it's the threat of subpoena that is actually more powerful than the subpoena itself. Folks, what Barry Lautermilke is saying is 100% accurate. Once the threat of subpoena, Hey, you guys can testify you're going to get a subpoena, you can no longer ignore. They do not want to be embarrassed up on Capitol Hill. Oh, they don't care. Oh, believe me, they do. A lot of these guys, these mid-level GS14 and 15 FBI agents, listen to me, as a guy who's been inside the government, they have no experience whatsoever under the spotlight.

Listen to what I'm I'm telling you. A lot of these guys have never even been interviewed by the media. You think they want to be on Fox and OAN and Newsmax with their entire neighborhood watching them on clips on the Laura Ingram show, whatever, sitting there pleading the fifth? Folks, this scared shitless right now about having to be forced under oath to tell the truth under penalty of perjury. Total personnel warfare going forward. It is the only way to fix this thing. Listen, Listen to me, too. I am absolutely convinced, convinced with certainty, and there's not a lot I can say with certainty, that if we would have lost this election, ladies and gentlemen, tyranny was right around the corner. Biden, by the way, is still convinced he would have won, which I find quite hilarious. Here's Biden last week, given a presser again, talking about how he thinks he would have beaten Trump. You want to talk about a delusional lunatic? You think this guy in the second term was in any way grounded in reality, you would have seen full-blown hammer and sickle here in the United States with him or Kamala Harris.

Watch this. I'm going to be successful. I don't think so. I think I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump, and I think that Kamala could have beaten Trump, would have beaten Trump. It wasn't about... I thought it was important to unify the party. Folks, this guy is the biggest lying sack of shit to ever occupy the White House. Do you Do you understand if we would have lost to this guy or Kamala Harris, which I don't think would have happened, by the way, I think he's delusional. The poll numbers were even worse for Biden than they were for Harris. You would have been looking at Hammer and sickle here in the United States. In case you think this stuff isn't happening, it's happening in our hemisphere right here. You've got a situation, I don't cover a lot of foreign policy. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this, but it's critical. You've got a situation brewing right now in Venezuela where you have a full-blown commy tyrant in Maduro who just stole an election, Democrat in the United States style, and is basically claiming victory in an election no serious person thinks he lost.

He's now trying to imprison his political opponent, this Maria Karina Machado. Put that on V. O. Up there. They took her into custody since let her go, but the streets eventually erupted. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the stuff you would have seen in the United States, more of this, imprisoning of political opponents like you saw with Donald Trump right here, right now. This is happening in Venezuela right now as we speak. I know we don't cover a ton of foreign policy, but it's really critical you follow what's going on because, listen, past is prolog right now, and we've seen this stuff over and over. You give people unchecked power, Democrat, Media, Pentagon, FBI, all aligned with the same socialist vision, which a lot of it's become between upper-level people, that thing. And what did you get? What did you get? You get Lord acting like power corrupts absolute power, corrupts absolutely. I want you to watch this clip with Tucker Carlson. He did this interview a couple of weeks It's a pretty good one. But he talks about how... Something I've said often that it's an old adage, I did not invent it, but I'll put it out there because it's so true.

To the Democrats, this is a warning to you. Republicans, the good ones, not the John funds. You can vote yourself into socialism and tyranny. Matter of fact, it happens often past this prolog. But there's only one way out. You got to fight your way out because they will never give up power unless you get rid of them. And we were this close. Watch this clip with Tucker. You'll see what I mean. How did that happen? How did Hugo Chávez come to power? In a military coup? No, in an election. Because five or six families, classic Latin economic structure, took control of the economy and didn't share the wealth. That's just true. I'm sorry. It happened in Cuba, too. You get a fascist like Fidel Castro in the country if you ignore it. Folks, when you ignore the will of people and you trample over them and you steal from them. It's happening right now with these raging wildfires, with the crime situation in Chicago and New York. Eventually, it's going to get bad enough. Is it bad enough yet? You get differing opinions. My friend Kurt Schlichter, I saw on Twitter, I believe it was him, seems to believe that none of this is going to make a difference.

California is going to continue to vote blue. Folks in the chat, chime in. I'll give you my answer. I don't know. I don't know. All I can tell you is I lived in New York City, and it had to get really, really, really bad before people change their voting behavior. But they did eventually. Think about it. You think it's bad now? There were close to 3,000 people, close to 3,000 people murdered in New York City when they finally voted in Rudy Giuliani, and then he won re-election in a landslide. 3,000 people. That's like Afghanistan. Folks, the per capita murder rate in New York is up there with the highest in the world back then. Finally, they changed course. Are these wildfires, the crime situation around the country in big cities, is it going to change? Is it bad enough yet? My answer, again, I'm being honest here and humble in my... I'm not trying to be a stupid, smart person. I'm trying to be a smart, smart person. I don't know. I don't know when it's bad enough, but I know we're getting there because we're seeing a change in voting patterns. I want to get to this, too, because this is important.

It shows the change in vision moving forward. Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen, JD Vance, are BHAG guys. Big, hairy, audacious goals guys. They talk about it all the time. They tell you this in business school. Have a BHAG. Have a big, hairy, audacious goal in your vision. You're a CEO, you're a corporate executive, you're running a small business. Have a big visionary goal that people can aspire to. You may get there, you may not, but it gives people a vision. It gives your company a vision. It's not just Fufu stuff. Trump and Vance have that. They see big for the United States. That's why this Greenland thing, don't let people go, Oh, Greenland, he's getting lost. No, this is a big deal. It is a huge piece of land, critical to our national defense, loaded with rare earth minerals, and a group of people, if you believe the latest poll, that would love to join the United States. I think it should be a territory, not a state. However, we need Greenland. It's a big goal. It's a visionary goal. It's an audacious goal. But here's J. D. Vance, totally in line with the Trump agenda, explaining exactly why we should be doing big things, not small things, because the United States deserves big things because we've done big things for the world.

Watch this. What's the deal with Greenland and the Panama Canal? Are we using or considering use of military force in any of those situations? We don't have to use military force, Shane. The thing that people always ignore is we already have troops in Greenland. Greenland is really important for America strategically. It has a lot of great natural resources. My friend Donald Trump Jr. Was there a couple of days ago, and you know what they told him? They want to be empowered to develop. The people of Greenland want to really empowered to develop the resources there. We also need to make sure that Greenland is properly cared for from an American security perspective. Frankly, the current leadership, the Danish government has not done a good enough job of securing Greenland. I think there actually is a real opportunity here for us to take leadership to protect America's security, to ensure that those incredible natural resources are developed. That's what Donald Trump is good at. He's good at making deals, and I think there's a deal to be made in Greenland. Okay, Folks, I think this is genius, and I applaud JD Vance for going on and doing what he always does, soundly articulating the MAGA vision for America.

Yes, we are an expansionary country. We have a lot to offer. We've been paying to finance the world's policing and security forever. It's time the world paid us back. We need Greenland. Should be a territory. The people there should choose. Should we engage in a hostile military takeover of Greenland? No, I believe that would be a mistake. But JD is right. We already have a military presence in Greenland because they need us or they already Could he be invaded by Russia or China who would love to take Greenland and set up a base right off our northeast? I want to leave you this clip because it's totally unrelated to anything other than some Monday good news. Because it is a I hit you with a lot of heavy stuff today, including media bullshit and everything else. You know, I love Brazilian Jujutsu. I had to stop after cancer. I had to pour it in my chest. I didn't want to have it ripped out, bleed to death or anything like that. But I loved it my entire life. Brazilian Jujutsus, grappling, ground fighting, the art of using on the ground. I'm fascinated by it. I recommend anyone who, as long as your doctor clears you to do it and you orthopedically can do it, to take it up.

There's nothing like the ability to learn to defend yourself. It is a pure meritocracy. But I'm telling you, I've seen this. Here's Joe Rogan on Brazilian Jujutsu with Theo Von. I don't know who he's been here. But talking about how guys and women who take Brazilian Jujutsu all of a sudden become libertarians and free a big government. Because I'm telling you why. I've seen it in these schools myself. I've been in about 10 of them. It is a pure meritocracy. There was no socialism on a Brazilian Jujutsu, Matt. Watch this. Check this out. By the way, I'll tell you for a fact, Mark Zuckerberg started doing jiu-jitsu, and nothing turns you into a libertarian like jiu-jitsu. Really? Oh, yeah. Nothing turns you into a person who really values hard work and discipline and struggle like jiu-jitsu. Because it's an exposure of character on a level that there's nothing else is like it. Wow. I hadn't thought about that that much. Yeah, because you expose character in a way that it's almost impossible, even with other martial arts. Because with other martial arts, you can only spar so much, man. Believe me, because I spar too much.

You spar a lot, you get hurt, and You get hurt, eventually, you get dinged up to the point where your brain is just not firing so well anymore. Listen, I'm not parenting your kids. That's your job. You know your kids far better than I do. Obviously, I'm just telling you, if you have the opportunity to get your kids in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu grappling wrestling class as early as you can. He is 100% correct. Everything you need to learn about yourself, I promise you, you will figure out the fastest on a Brazilian jiu-jitsu mat when someone's kicking your ass. It'll make a conservatarian out of you right quick. Absolutely promise you, Rogan is 100% spot on. Get your kids in there. If you can take the classes yourself. Trust your boy. Batting average, 1,000. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. Huge week for Rumbles. Announced a major deal. Rumbles blowing up. Thank you for supporting us. We have cloud services.
