| Alright, this breaking news. | ||
| Sources tell CNN that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has told people that he's considering resigning amid a major clash between the FBI and DOJ over the continued fallout from the release or lack thereof of the Jeffrey Epstein memo. | ||
| Well Alex, we know that the termination notices were supposed to go out starting around 10 a.m. and that likely they would roll out for a couple of hours due to how slow the internal State Department email system is. | ||
| So this is a situation where many State Department employees yesterday were put on alert. | ||
| We're told that today they could be getting that kind of information. | ||
| So to be prepared for that and to come to work with everything, they might need to return before leaving the State Department for the last time today. | ||
| And we're talking about civil servants in addition to foreign service officers. | ||
| As many as 3,000 cuts expected today. | ||
| And it's not just all layoffs necessarily. | ||
| Some people were offered the opportunity to take early retirement, for instance, but this is all a part of the Trump administration's effort to cut some of these agencies with the Department of Government Efficiency trying to essentially make a mandate for these different agencies to completely reorganize or to have what's known as a RIF, a reduction in force. | ||
| And this is something that the Supreme Court paved the way for to take place. | ||
| And so the State Department is where we're seeing a very concentrated example of that today. | ||
| But it's something that we could see at a bunch of different agencies. | ||
| We know, for instance, that at the Education Department and elsewhere, similar blueprints have been drawn up for cutting this many employees. | ||
| And as a result, there is going to be a massive loss, according to those who are familiar with the State Department, of some experience. | ||
| But again, this is something that the President himself has wanted to see happen. | ||
| It was obviously something that Elon Musk was in charge of before he left his government role. | ||
| And it's something that there are further court cases in the works on that there could be potentially a halt or a freeze to some of this action at other agencies, or the Supreme Court could allow for it to again take place all over many of these different agencies. | ||
| And the federal workforce could, again, continue to be reduced. | ||
| It's been reduced by thousands already since January, and there's an expectation that it will be reduced by thousands more if the president gets what he wants from this major change. | ||
| Dan Bongio has told people he is considering resigning as the deputy director of the FBI over the fallout that has continued ever since this memo was released last time. | ||
| The anger inside the magnet base has only continued to grow instead of going away as some officials inside hoped it would. | ||
| And now our colleagues, along with Christian Holmes, Tanner Benowitz, and Evan Perez, were hearing that he's considering resigning after they had this heated confrontation with the Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of this earlier this week. | ||
| And basically there was a meeting at the White House where the FBI Director Caspar Kell was there, the White House Chief of Staff, Susan Wiles. | ||
| They were questioned about whether they were part of a story that there was basically some infighting over how this came out and this memo that said we're not going to be releasing any more information related to Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| And I should note that we are told Bongino denied leaking any story to this outlet that it was reported on. | ||
| But there has been a lot of fighting between Attorney General Pam Bondi specifically and the leadership over at the FBI over who's to blame in this situation. | ||
| I think the context here is obviously Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, they came from this MAGA world where they themselves had pushed a lot of questions about the so-called client list that Epstein had beforehand. | ||
| And now the MAGA base is just not pleased or satisfied with what they've said in this memo that came out unsigned from the Justice Department and the FBI on Sunday night. | ||
| So what we are told is Dan Bondino did not show up to work today, that he is essentially not there out of protest. | ||
| But whether or not he actually follows through on this still remains to be seen. | ||
| We're still reporting that out. | ||
| But it just speaks to the backlash that the White House is very much feeling and understanding after this memo came out. | ||
| Despite President Trump the other day in the cabinet room asking, you know, who still cares about this, one thing we know is the MAGA base certainly does. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on this people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

Waru, here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| It's Friday, 11 July, Year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Okay, we've got Dan Caldwell's going to join us. | ||
| Hopefully, Scott Besson, Secretary of Treasury, maybe. | ||
| We're going to go to the main stage. | ||
| Ben Berkwam, do you believe the reports are out since the morning show that Dan Bongino had a huge confrontation over DOJ with Pam Bondi, and he has threatened to resign? | ||
| In fact, he took, I guess, Monday, Tuesday off. | ||
| Any word that you have on that? | ||
| You're buying that? | ||
| I don't have any update on that, but I know Dan, and he is a man of integrity, and it doesn't surprise me at all. | ||
| Honestly, I think when you look at what's happening, we all know there's more there. | ||
| And I think if you were to stay in there and allow what's taking place to continue, I think it undermines his credibility. | ||
| I'm interested to hear what Cash says. | ||
| Cash is a good friend of mine. | ||
| I love Cash. | ||
| But this whole thing stinks. | ||
| And honestly, it doesn't surprise me. | ||
| How many guys here bought Government Gangsters or watched the film we did on Government Gangsters? | ||
| Yeah, we love Cash. | ||
| Yeah, I'd love Cash, but I'd love Government Gangster Cash. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm not so sure. | ||
| I don't know if I'm loving this version. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| And I'd love me some cash, but hey, where are the arrests? | ||
| Where are the perp walks? | ||
| I got a whole list in the back. | ||
| In fact, the reason I wanted to make a movie out of Government Gangsters, he had a whole punch list. | ||
| He named names in that book, did he not? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| And that's the biggest thing on all of this. | ||
| Where's Merrick Garland? | ||
| Is Merrick Garland perp walked yet? | ||
| Should Merrick Garland perp walk? | ||
| He should. | ||
| There's a whole list. | ||
| Everyone in that book needs to be perp walked, and that's the biggest frustration in the MAGA base. | ||
| We're talking about losing the MAGA base. | ||
| Well, if you don't do it, when we've seen you persecuted and prosecuted, President Trump prosecuted, all of the J Sixers prosecuted, and we get in there and there's no prosecutions, there's a problem. | ||
| That's a problem. | ||
| Jane Zerko, your thoughts? | ||
| Well, as Pan Bondi's doppelganger, I think we could do a very interesting reenactment of the situation. | ||
| But I also found something... | ||
| Pan Bondi's 60, and you're 16. | ||
| Where's the line with a doppelganger? | ||
| Who's our doctor? | ||
| I need to know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean. | |
| But I did read something interesting regarding the fluoridation of water. | ||
| The EPA actually filed something to do with getting our drinking water back on track and getting a lot of the crap that they've put in there out. | ||
| And it was an employee actually under Pamboni who was responsible for the appeal of this act. | ||
| So another interesting revelation in her leadership. | ||
| I called it Hang On. | ||
| Zirkle goes to… I'm just kidding. | ||
| I love the chemtrails. | ||
| It's all part of one family. | ||
| Let's go to Dan Caldwell. | ||
| We got Dan Caldwell. | ||
| Dan, you've been getting ripped on social media today. | ||
| Dan, you're the guy that's considered by the Israel first crowd that you're the problem in the Defense Department. | ||
| That's why you got perp walked out. | ||
| You're now the problem with Taiwan, that you've written all these things about Taiwan. | ||
| We had the ambassador on yesterday. | ||
| The CCP is going to attack Taiwan because of Dan Caldwell. | ||
| Are you a pacifist? | ||
| I thought you were a Marine, right? | ||
| Aren't you a Marine? | ||
| I mean, if I was a pacifist, I was a bad one. | ||
| I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps as an infantryman in the middle of Iraq war, and I deployed to Iraq. | ||
| So if I'm a pacifist, I'm a pretty lousy one. | ||
| But look, let me just, I do have to say something, though, about what you just said about Taiwan. | ||
| If the CCP ultimately moves on Taiwan, I think it's in large part because they perceive that there is not the hard power in the Pacific and on Taiwan to deter a Chinese invasion or to make it incredibly costly to the point where they don't think it can succeed. | ||
| And why could that happen? | ||
| Well, I think one of the biggest reasons why it would happen is because we have not been able to properly supply Taiwan to harden them up because we have chosen, our foreign policy elite has chosen to prioritize arming Ukraine over Taiwan. | ||
| There is a $21 billion arms backlog. | ||
| Steve, I told you this morning it was $19 billion. | ||
| I went back and checked. | ||
| It's actually $21 billion. | ||
| And it includes things like Stinger missiles, which we have sent thousands of to Ukraine while Taiwan has been waiting since 2019 for 500 Stinger missiles. | ||
| Patriot packages. | ||
| We're live here. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| I want to make sure people understand this because we're in front of a live audience. | ||
| You're saying that we've taken Patriot missiles, other things that we need to defend in Asia, right, particularly Taiwan, South Korea, all of it. | ||
| We've taken that and shipped it to Ukraine and Israel, just Ukraine. | ||
| I mean, because you are known as an anti-Semite, right? | ||
| Because aren't you opposed to the wars in the Middle East? | ||
| I thought I had, you and Bridge Colby were actually not supportive of Israel because you wanted to, I think your biggest rap that you wanted to take weapons away from Israel, sir? | ||
| I actually think we should supply Israel. | ||
| I can make a better argument for supplying Israel over Ukraine because I think that we should supply Israel along with our Gulf partners, create a security architecture in the Middle East that can balance Iran and then keep an external hegemon out. | ||
| And that allows us to retrench from the region. | ||
| But you brought up Israel too. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| In 2023, we pulled 300,000 artillery shells out of our war stocks in Israel to support, guess who? | ||
| Ukraine. | ||
| So when October 7th happened and the Israelis needed to pull weapons out of that war stock, they weren't there because Biden sent them to Ukraine. | ||
| So Biden had to turn around our artillery shipment from Ukraine and send it back to Israel. | ||
| So our support of Ukraine hasn't just undermined our ability to support our partners in the Pacific. | ||
| It's also undermined our ability to support partners like Israel. | ||
| So, you know, they can call me anti-Taiwan, anti-Israel, all they want. | ||
| The people that are undermining these partners are the people who are delusional enough to believe that we have unlimited resources, that we can do everything, everywhere, all at once, all the time. | ||
| And those are the people that are going to create the conditions for China to move on Taiwan. | ||
| Those are the people that create the conditions for partners like Israel not to defend themselves. | ||
| It's not people like me and Bridge Colby that point out the material reality. | ||
| So President Trump obviously supported that. | ||
| He supported Bridge Colby. | ||
| Bridge Colby's the major policy guy with the Pentagon. | ||
| Why are we in a situation where it looks like we're going to sell weapons to Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and they're going to give our rare stock of equipment to Ukraine? | ||
| How do we get in this situation, sir? | ||
| Well, I can't confirm all those details. | ||
| I would just say is that there's been a ton of bad reporting around what's been going on in Ukraine, what's been shipped and not been shipped, and who's responsible for that. | ||
| I will say this, is that if I were still in the administration, what I would be saying is we need to put pressure on the Germans to give over their stock of Patriot missiles to Ukraine before we send any more from our own stocks. | ||
| Same with the Spaniards, same with the Greeks. | ||
| There are a ton of European partners who have stocks of these missiles that should be giving them up before us. | ||
| This idea of Ukraine Or other NATO countries buying from us, that works. | ||
| That could work, but it's going to take years to refill the opportunity. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to go live the main stage. | ||
| Don Jr.'s up there. | ||
| Let's go live the main stage. | ||
| I remember when we were starting these out, and it was like that. | ||
| No, it was like this. | ||
| It was like your average. | ||
| It was like your average political meeting where there was like 12 people in a room, and this is awesome. | ||
| And there were no young people. | ||
| And now we have thousands and thousands of young people from all across the country. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| And thank you guys for doing all of it. | ||
| I know it's summer vacation and doesn't seem like there's ever a vacation anymore. | ||
| It's always nuts out there. | ||
| But it's amazing to see you guys as involved as you are, watching what's going on, being vocal, having that next generation in there is so fundamentally important. | ||
| So I just love seeing you guys out there. | ||
| So thank you for all of that. | ||
| It really makes a big difference and was obviously huge last November. | ||
| Yeah, and the theme of what we're talking about is fulfilling the mandate, especially for the younger voters in this audience. | ||
| Last week, the One Big Beautiful bill was finally passed and signed into law. | ||
| And one of the components of the One Big Beautiful bill, the most important, is fully funding ICE, fully funding the deportation effort. | ||
| What would your perspective be? | ||
| Your father has said no amnesty under any circumstances whatsoever. | ||
| Talk about the need for mass deportations and how we will not put up with any amnesty whatsoever. | ||
| Listen, it's so fundamentally critical. | ||
| I mean, it was really the number one issue we all campaigned on. | ||
| We see what it happened, what it did to so much of America, what it did to so many communities, and honestly, what it did to so many of the low-income communities in this country where people were just sweeping those jobs and ultimately everyone's potential American dream was getting wiped away. | ||
| And so the big, beautiful bill, the funding of the wall, the funding of ICE, is so fundamentally important to actually getting these things done, right? | ||
| We saw what we could do about just the border itself. | ||
| But now you have 20 million people probably. | ||
| Imagine they don't even know. | ||
| Just getting in there, they're getting all the benefits. | ||
| You know, the benefits that you guys pay for for yourselves, that your parents probably paid for for all of you guys. | ||
| They get that with no contribution to the system. | ||
| And that was by design under the Biden administration. | ||
| So to have the funding to A, start the mass deportations, but more importantly, the parts of the bill that literally cut off all of the freebies that were just draining our coffers, but more importantly, were a calling card to the rest of the world. | ||
| Be like, you know, come here, we'll give you everything. | ||
| You know, the health care that you got gets diluted because you get to pay for thousands of others, millions of others, tens of millions of others, who will likely never even pay into the system. | ||
| It doesn't work. | ||
| It doesn't work in any other country, and there's a reason no other country was doing it. | ||
| So that was a fundamental aspect of the Big Beautiful Bill, to now actually have the funding to do this. | ||
| And it was sort of amazing to me how much even reluctance there was from so many, you know, allegedly on our side. | ||
| Well, it's just controversial. | ||
| You're going to have to deport someone. | ||
| You know, listen, there's going to be good people that this happens to, too, but there are millions of criminals. | ||
| And this is Joe Biden's ice. | ||
| I mean, when I saw the statistics, I literally couldn't believe that a civilization could survive when our Western values, our culture, the civilization itself, when they literally admitted, and this is Biden IS stat, so this is probably diluted a lot, but 600,000 criminals, 13,000 murderers. | ||
| I mean, think about that. | ||
| 13,000 murderers were let into the country. | ||
| They knew they were murderers, and they let them into the country. | ||
| 16,000 rapists. | ||
| Add those together. | ||
| You got what? | ||
| 30,000, let's call it. | ||
| 30,000 murderers and rapists. | ||
| There's about 4,000 counties in America. | ||
| Imagine you spread them out evenly throughout that. | ||
| Yeah, we'll throw seven murderers or rapists into every county in America. | ||
| How's that going to work? | ||
| What's the end game there? | ||
| And that's what was going on. | ||
| The end game is Lake and Riley. | ||
| And the end game is Rachel Morin, which is dead people all across the country because of the open border. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, you know, that has to stop. | ||
| They got to get rid of that. | ||
| And they have to also do a lot more because they have to enable the Americans to have a chance. | ||
| We have to be able to innovate, grow, be productive enough to create the wages necessary in a lot of these businesses that Americans will actually work there. | ||
| We've seen what happens when some of these places, Oh, wow, there's a line of Americans ready to do some of these jobs. | ||
| You know, a big part of it was also from the corporate tax cut standpoint, right? | ||
| That's great. | ||
| I mean, I'm a business guy. | ||
| I love the corporate tax cuts. | ||
| But I think what was really unique about the BBB was how much time, energy, and political capital my father put into making sure those tax cuts translate down to working class Americans. | ||
| Okay, when you have the no tax on tips, all of these ideas, they're going to benefit Americans so greatly. | ||
| The original tax plan from the first administration, it did just that. | ||
| Everyone said, oh, it's just corporate, it's just corporate. | ||
| But I think the stats were like close to 90% of Americans, like regular people, got thousands and thousands of dollars in real benefits to them. | ||
| And that's the idea. | ||
| I mean, his fundamental purpose is to make sure that those real Americans, the hardworking Americans who've seen their wages diminished with inflation, were getting that under control too. | ||
| But that were really struggling for the last few years actually get to see the benefits of these cuts. | ||
| And again, it's one of those things where my father had to go way out of his way because, you know, the Republicans are like, well, we're going to do it for corporations and maybe some of that will trickle down. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's going to be about the Americans, about getting them the most benefit out of this. | ||
| And that's how everyone wins. | ||
| And so this last week, President Trump has been in a feud with California over the transgender sports thing. | ||
| We're both fathers of daughters. | ||
| Your daughter is a very good golfer. | ||
| This whole like men in female sports. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| I told you she had a lot of fans here. | ||
| Yeah, gay. | ||
| I tried to tell you. | ||
| You know, it's funny. | ||
| I was like, Don, and he's like, I don't want to say we created a monster, but by chance, it sort of happened almost. | ||
| I mean, it'll be a year ago in two days. | ||
| I was with her on July 13th when my father was shot. | ||
| And I got the unusual call from my daughter that morning saying, hey, I want to go fishing, which, you know, if you have a teenage daughter, you guys are teenage daughters or something. | ||
| You're not often calling dad to go do something. | ||
| So when you call dad, she's nodding. | ||
| She's like, yep. | ||
| When you call dad, he's going to do it, right? | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| So it wasn't even the perfect day. | ||
| I was like, yep, I'm going to go get bait. | ||
| We're going to go deal with it. | ||
| We're going to go fishing. | ||
| And, you know, we were out probably 13, 14 miles offshore, having a great day, catching fish, and we got the call. | ||
| And I picked up my phone. | ||
| It's like, your dad's been shot. | ||
| I'm like, and? | ||
| Well, we don't know anything. | ||
| I'm like, oh, that's wonderful. | ||
| There's calls that are good and bad. | ||
| That's only a call that has degrees of bad, right? | ||
| And we didn't know anything. | ||
| And we're frantically kind of calling. | ||
| I guess the only thing that I guess they did right that day was shut down other communications. | ||
| And so I think we set the sea speed record from offshore into Jupiter where we live. | ||
| And finally we're able to get my dad on the phone. | ||
| And it was sort of a harrowing thing. | ||
| By then we had seen some of the videos of him coming back up with the sort of fight, fight, fight. | ||
| And I just got on the phone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Yeah, I'm not usually at a loss for words, but I was one of those where I was like, I got nothing, but I was like, that's the most badass thing I've ever seen. | ||
| I was like, I'm not sure if it's like the tactically the most intelligent thing I've ever seen either. | ||
| Yeah, just stand up again. | ||
| What could go wrong? | ||
| So I was like, but it was this sort of somber moment, and finally it was just, again, it got awkward enough. | ||
| I was like, okay, so we gotta ask the most important question, which is, how's the hair? | ||
| And it gave me the... | ||
| It's a little bloody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was a lot of blood, a lot of blood, Don. | |
| But the hair is fine. | ||
| It'll be good. | ||
| You're going to have to wash it. | ||
| And, you know, it sort of broke the ice. | ||
| And, you know, I'm not going to say it got normal again, but it normalized the situation. | ||
| And my daughter was with me. | ||
| And Kai has probably spent more time with my dad one-on-one than I have. | ||
| And I'm a lot older than her, largely because of golf. | ||
| And she's like his golf buddy. | ||
| And she plays with him every weekend when he was around. | ||
| And that was all the time. | ||
| And she called me that next morning, and she's like, you know what? | ||
| I want to speak at the RNC. | ||
| To be clear, it's my daughter, so it wasn't exactly, I want to. | ||
| Like, it wasn't a question. | ||
| It was like, I'm going to. | ||
| And I'm just like, I guess I'll bump some governor. | ||
| Like, just, you know. | ||
| And you did. | ||
| And we, well, I didn't do anything. | ||
| I called my dad. | ||
| This was like a six o'clock in the morning call. | ||
| He picks up on the first ring. | ||
| I'm like, hey, you doing good? | ||
| By the way, Kai wants to speak at the RNC. | ||
| And he just goes, whoa. | ||
| Well, listen, when you do this every day, by the way, we've seen guys that do this every day and still blow that, right? | ||
| When there's 40,000 people, you're in a stadium and there's 10 million, 20 million people watching on television and you've never given a speech in your life, that is not easy. | ||
| It's hard for most people, again, who do it. | ||
| It's like they're used to a small crowd and that's easy. | ||
| It's a lot of pressure. | ||
| And he's just like, that's a big one. | ||
| That could go wrong really quickly. | ||
| And we understand how bad that can go. | ||
| But he just thought about it for a second. | ||
| He goes, you know what? | ||
| That kid's a winner. | ||
| She'll do great. | ||
| Like, that was it. | ||
| Like, congratulations. | ||
| She'll open for you and we'll bump someone and make it happen. | ||
| And she's done a pretty good job since then. | ||
| So, yeah, she's amazing. | ||
| So then, and President Trump deserves so much credit, making sure men are not going to be in female sports, which is the kind of connection. | ||
| So she's a great golfer. | ||
| How do you interpret the Democrat Party continually embracing this men and female sports issue? | ||
| What is their reluctance to just moderate on this issue? | ||
| You know what? | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I think it's such a top issue, especially for a lot of the demographics that men sort of understand it intrinsically. | ||
| I think a lot of soccer moms around America sort of their entire currency was virtue signaling. | ||
| And they latched onto this thing. | ||
| And I think it was one of the guys from Daily Wire actually gave me credit a couple months ago. | ||
| They were like, wow, Don Jr. was on this issue in 2017 because before it was really a thing, you'd see it. | ||
| Like some dude would win a high school girls track championship and they're getting a scholarship to the finest university for track. | ||
| And I'm like, yeah, but it's a dude. | ||
| And this was Twitter 1.0. | ||
| So let's just say, guys like you and I and probably everyone else in this room, you know, we were definitely in the minority there. | ||
| It was 95.5, 90, 10, you know, conservative to, you know, raging Liptard. | ||
| And even then, though, I'd put it up, be like, this is insane. | ||
| And I'd read the comments. | ||
| And it was, you know, just people who were just waiting to comment on anything to hate on me, whatever it is. | ||
| And I feed off the hate. | ||
| It's great. | ||
| It's fine. | ||
| But I remember reading the comments and being like, wow, this is a losing issue for them. | ||
| Because even the people who hated my guts were like, oh, oh, I hate Don Jr. so much, but he's right. | ||
| You know, next comment, oh, I can't believe I agree with Don Jr. on something. | ||
| That's how ridiculous it was. | ||
| Like before it became a thing, and then the trans mafia, which was the most beyond reproach organization in the history of the world. | ||
| I've never seen a group of people that probably comprised like 0.02% of a society that could, they were infallible, right? | ||
| They could do no wrong. | ||
| They were obviously right. | ||
| And the Democrats fed into every, I mean, even against like gay liberals who were like, wait, wait a second. | ||
| We fought for decades to be able To get equality, and they don't want equality. | ||
| They want equality plus, plus, plus, plus, plus. | ||
| This is insane. | ||
| So, you know, I think it's asinine. | ||
| I think it was a great issue for people across the board, for reasonable people who weren't sort of politically entrenched for independence. | ||
| And I love that even knowing this now, even years later, even when it's an abject fail, they literally can't help but continue to go all in on the issue. | ||
| It's a 90-10 issue, and if Trump is in the 90, they just got to take 100% of the other 10 and back at 1,000%. | ||
| So I'm glad to see that they're still doing it because I think it helps us in the long run. | ||
| It's bad for the country. | ||
| But it is a disaster for the country. | ||
| It's a disaster for our daughters. | ||
| It's an absolute embarrassment. | ||
| I mean, again, as a father of a girl athlete, to say that, like, hey, you're just going to have to deal with it because that guy's ages taller than you and stronger. | ||
| You're going to have to deal with that? | ||
| Not yet. | ||
| How would you? | ||
| Oh, I'd be vocal. | ||
| I'd be. | ||
| What's your advice for parents that have to deal? | ||
| I mean, I think dads need to start rising up and saying, we're not going to put up with this stuff. | ||
| I mean, what is this? | ||
| Well, hey. | ||
| Because I know you. | ||
| I don't think you would put up with this. | ||
| No, come on. | ||
| And this will get me into trouble, but you have to call it out. | ||
| You know, enough of the nonsense. | ||
| There's no political capital in destroying your child's future to be woke, to be able to get the applause from that crowd who hates your guts anyway. | ||
| And so I think it's so fundamentally important that we all have to become unafraid to speak up on these kinds of issues. | ||
| And when you do, you realize there's actually a lot of us. | ||
| It's the vast majority. | ||
| But again, for years, we've been put into these corners. | ||
| There was a time where if you said these things, you'd be canceled. | ||
| You'd be thrown off social media. | ||
| You'd be thrown out of the PTA meeting. | ||
| You couldn't do that. | ||
| So we have to stand strong for this. | ||
| I've gone through enough of the child athlete sports thing. | ||
| I have five kids. | ||
| I'll get in trouble as a dad again for saying this, which is like, there's nothing quite as painful as a three-year-old's like triple header in softball. | ||
| If you're going to put in years of that kind of time, and then your daughter or your kid becomes a great athlete, and you're going to say, oh, well, I guess it was a good run. | ||
| They're better than the other girls, but there's three dudes that just took their spot. | ||
| I guess we're just going to take it. | ||
| That's not going to work. | ||
| That's the way society fails. | ||
| So in closing here, Don, because I know that, and thank you for being generous with your time. | ||
| You've got a packed schedule. | ||
| The question we get a lot from the audience is, Charlie, how do I deal with the hate? | ||
| Picking up on something you said. | ||
| You said it briefly. | ||
| You said, the hate fuels me. | ||
| I love the hate. | ||
| Because if you look at these amazing students, and do you notice, Don, we give the best tickets to our students. | ||
| We should, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are the warriors right here. | |
| And so when they say, Charlie, how do I deal with the hate at my high school? | ||
| How do I deal with the hate at my college? | ||
| You are uniquely positioned to be able to answer that because you've been hauled in front of Congress. | ||
| You've been investigated. | ||
| You've had a decade of hate. | ||
| I think you have the second most death threats in the country next to your father. | ||
| How do you deal with that? | ||
| What's your advice to the patriots of all ages that don't know how to deal with that kind of hate? | ||
| Listen, you get used to it, okay? | ||
| So for me, it actually started less about just the hate. | ||
| It was more about the cancel culture. | ||
| We built hotels and buildings. | ||
| We did that in a lot of cities. | ||
| Most of them are liberal cities. | ||
| We were, you know, I got invited to every cool person party in New York City for decades. | ||
| And then, you know, it was gone like that. | ||
| And I was like, wow, like these people that I thought were friends for decades, they don't call anymore. | ||
| Then when you won, they called. | ||
| Oh, I love what you were doing. | ||
| I was like, nope, dude, I was reading your Facebook post. | ||
| You're just trying to have the best of both worlds. | ||
| It does take time, but I realized it was actually better, even from a business standpoint, to be a leader for a large group. | ||
| If it was 50% of the countries, like, wow, there's still something there, right? | ||
| I'd rather be thought of by them as someone who's willing to have that conviction to fight for these things than be sort of agnostic to the general population. | ||
| It was just another guy that was there. | ||
| So it took a lot of time. | ||
| I mean, it took a lot of, you know, lost hundreds of millions in business, not just on the sort of the lawfare side of things that we were fighting, but just people canceling because, well, one person in a group of 100 doesn't like you, so we're just not going to go to your hotels. | ||
| That was hard to get used to. | ||
| But once you got used to it, you realized there's still hope, and what you're fighting for is so much more important in the grand scheme of things. | ||
| Again, you don't have to do everything like I did. | ||
| I sort of took the aggressive approach on everything. | ||
| You can have these conversations respectfully. | ||
| I love what you do. | ||
| We did this in 16, in 15. | ||
| We've been doing it for 10 years. | ||
| You know, Don and I. Well, who thinks Don should come to a college campus with me this demonstration? | ||
| Wouldn't that be great? | ||
| I think. | ||
| By popular demand. | ||
| By popular demand. | ||
| Listen, we were doing it before it was like a daily thing when it was like, hey, once a month we went to Penn State. | ||
| We went to one up in Michigan, Michigan State. | ||
| We went up there at this a 16 campaign, and it was me and Charlie and another friend of ours. | ||
| Tommy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And we literally were about to get on the stage and the state police were there, and they showed up. | ||
| The state police, like the Michigan State Police showed up and were like, hey man, you know, we can't tell you not to do this, but like this is bad. | ||
| And, you know, the university, of course, made sure that all the radicals could get in, even though we oversold to the groups that were people like you. | ||
| You guys know that. | ||
| And that was fine. | ||
| You've seen all of this. | ||
| And they go, we can't stop you from doing it, but we also can't guarantee your safety. | ||
| And we're putting out a notice right now that you should not do this. | ||
| It's against common sense to be going out there. | ||
| And we basically looked at each other. | ||
| I literally said, I would rather get my ass kicked right here, right now, than capitulate to the woke mob. | ||
| And we did. | ||
| And it was actually amazing. | ||
| We were backstage. | ||
| We were about to go on. | ||
| And like, what was it? | ||
| It was like the offensive line of the football team showed up. | ||
| He's like, we love you guys. | ||
| We're just here. | ||
| If anything goes wrong, don't you worry. | ||
| Like, I mean, these guys were like our unhired, unannounced, like, security detail. | ||
| I'm looking at this guy. | ||
| I'm not a small guy. | ||
| I'm 6'1 ⁇ , 195. | ||
| And I was like looking at this guy. | ||
| I was like, I don't want to meet that guy if he's on the other side. | ||
| But like, we went out and the energy in the room, there was a tension. | ||
| And, you know, our guys sort of hit these guys with facts and reality and just sort of shut them down. | ||
| And so, you know, what Charlie does when he goes there, he doesn't lose his cool. | ||
| He keeps the sound free. | ||
| He talks about facts. | ||
| And you realize their arguments fall apart so quickly because they don't actually have anything other than sort of the high-level sound bites that they're talking about. | ||
| And so when you're able to reason with them, you see most of these people, they walk away. | ||
| They're like, I thought I was going to own this guy. | ||
| And they're just, they're broken when they walk off the stage. | ||
| Everyone sees it. | ||
| Everyone knows it. | ||
| So you don't have to do it perhaps the way we did it. | ||
| And I'm even trying to alter some of that now because now, again, there's a broader coalition. | ||
| We don't have to just be so forceful with it. | ||
| You can do it with facts, logic, reason, and decency. | ||
| Don, I speak on behalf of all of our students. | ||
| Thank you for all you do for our movement. | ||
| You work your tail off. | ||
| Donald Trump Jr., everybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you guys. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Give it up to Don Jr. | ||
| There's the president of the United States right there. | ||
| Can we go full screen on that, guys? | ||
| I can direct and star at the same time. | ||
| Full screen. | ||
| There we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And the first lady and the president right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Had a... | |
| Had a tremendous trip today. | ||
| I know we couldn't cover as much as we want. | ||
| They're going to Air Force One. | ||
| Our own Brian Glenn is right there. | ||
| I don't believe we're going to be able to pick that up. | ||
| There's massive breaking news if you haven't heard it. | ||
| Daily Wire is reporting that Cash Batel, there's the president, not going to say anything to the press. | ||
| Cash Patel has said that if Dan Bongino resigns and leaves, that Cash Patel will step down as director of the FBI. | ||
| He will leave also. | ||
| That if Dan Bongino leaves because of Pam Bondi and not, and essentially, there's the president, First Lady. | ||
| Does it get any better than that right there? | ||
| Does that remind you of Biden and Biden's wife? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Come on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Come on. | |
| Is this an upgrade on the First Lady? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huh? | |
| Huh? | ||
| You're proud of this. | ||
| Macron's wife, Biden's wife. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| Okay, so breaking news. | ||
| Cash Patel has been reported that Cash Patel has notified that if Dan Bongino resigns because of Pam Bondi's mishandling of what she's now publicly saying is Pam Bondi's mishandling of the Epstein files, that he, Cash Patel, will step down as director of the FBI to follow Dan. | ||
| If I can just give you the way I think the system works, right? | ||
| I assume that Dan and Cash got some sign-off before they made those statements, right? | ||
| I don't think those are random statements. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to cut things a little bit. | |
| Here's why there's, why do you think there's, Is there movement from this afternoon, from yesterday? | ||
| You agree that there's movement? | ||
| You can see movement. | ||
| You know why there's movement? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You. | |
| No? | ||
| No? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Special prosecutor. | ||
| You've raised the stakes and said, we want a special prosecutor. | ||
| We won't take anything else. | ||
| We want to directly report to the United States. | ||
| And now you've seen the machinery starting to work. | ||
| Well, upon further review, right? | ||
| So do you guys still want a special prosecutor? | ||
| Do you want Dan and you don't want Dan and Cash to resign, right? | ||
| Remember how hard it was to get Cash confirmed? | ||
| Remember how, first off, you guys did Bobby Kennedy, Pete Hexeth. | ||
| Wow, Pete's going to be here this afternoon, I think. | ||
| Bobby Kennedy, Pete Hexeth, Cash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| We had no easy ones, right? | ||
| There were no easy ones. | ||
| Could we have gotten Matt Gates confirmed as Attorney General? | ||
| You think so? | ||
| Did Matt Gaetz get tossed to the wayside too early? | ||
| You agree with that, right? | ||
| What did we say at the beginning there? | ||
| Remember before Thanksgiving, we said everybody that's nominated is going to take their position, right? | ||
| And everybody that held their nomination got confirmed, right? | ||
| Why was that? | ||
| Because of you guys. | ||
| Remember, they fear you. | ||
| Okay, think about it. | ||
| Think about it a second. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Remember the AI bill. | |
| The AI bill, there's a great story, if we can get it out. | ||
| The Verge, right, which is a high-tech magazine, has the Inside Baseball account that's brilliantly written by one of the young reporters that I'll push it out. | ||
| I want everybody to read. | ||
| It's the Inside Baseball of what happened on the AI moratorium. | ||
| At 10 o'clock that morning when Mike Davis came on, that deal was dead. | ||
| They had already gotten a compromise. | ||
| They were good to go. | ||
| It's because Mike Davis came on War Room and fired you guys up. | ||
| They said the carpet bombing of the Senate was something they'd never seen before. | ||
| And people were irate. | ||
| All of those senators immediately, even the hardest core guys on tech said, hey, told Ted Cruz, look, dude, this is your thing, right? | ||
| All the oligarchs are in back of it. | ||
| These people are worked up right now. | ||
| We don't want to face the wrath of it. | ||
| You sure it's only three votes? | ||
| And that's what he put out the tweet later. | ||
| Hey, they've only got three votes, and it's a long night ahead. | ||
| We'll be able to get this. | ||
| At 1 o'clock in the morning, they went to the president of the United States. | ||
| The oligarchs did. | ||
| And Ted Cruz and begged for some reinforcements. | ||
| You know what the president said? | ||
| Yeah, I don't think so. | ||
| I think we'll let this one play out. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| He understands where his base is, right? | ||
| Now, this Epstein thing, people are very upset. | ||
| You're very upset after the cabinet meeting the other day, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| It seems like our leader is getting bad information. | ||
| He's getting bad information. | ||
| People say it doesn't matter. | ||
| It's not important. | ||
| That's not correct, right? | ||
| It's not correct because the Epstein situation shows us one central thing: who runs the country? | ||
| Either the people run the country, right, or the deep state runs the country, right? | ||
| And it's got to, we got to, the fight's got to be now. | ||
| We cannot sit here and let them do it. | ||
| And so, already from this morning show, because of, you know, Pesovic being here and Natalie being here and my screaming like a madman and you guys, the thing that went viral is all you guys clapping every time and getting on Bill Blaster and letting people know. | ||
| All of a sudden, voila, starting like two hours afterwards, you know, Dan Bongino is not happy. | ||
| In fact, Dan Bongino took a day off from work, right? | ||
| You saw him happy. | ||
| And then a couple hours later, hey, Cash Patel ain't happy either, right? | ||
| Cash Patel's, he's more unhappy. | ||
| And in fact, if Dan leaves, Cash is going to leave. | ||
| Do you want, of all the work we did with Cash and Dan, do you want Cash and Dan to leave? | ||
| Do you want? | ||
| Okay, why? | ||
| Right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you hear me? | |
| Okay, so he was on Joe Rogan, and he was gaslighting us, okay? | ||
| How so? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, as far as the Epstein is concerned, you're telling me that he has thousands, tens of thousands of hours of video. | |
| Also, I'd love a job. | ||
| That's why I came here. | ||
| I'd love to work for you. | ||
| But I'm just saying, 10,000 hours of children. | ||
| You're really going down a great path for a job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep going. | |
| It's like the young guy today trashing Trump. | ||
| I love Trump. | ||
| Jane Zirkle's bonus just got cut. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love Trump. | |
| I love MAGA. | ||
| My mom is going to be so pissed. | ||
| I'm not recording this, but it's okay. | ||
| We are. | ||
| We are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, 10,000 hours of child, whatever. | |
| You know, them messing with kids. | ||
| Hang on, timeout. | ||
| Stop, stop, stop. | ||
| Let's be precise. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Young women. | |
| No? | ||
| No. | ||
| They said 10,000 hours were uploaded, not originally produced. | ||
| It was uploaded of child porn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So that could be, and it implies it's not, I'm not saying it's terrible and you got to release it, right? | ||
| Some redacted, but that at least is implying, look, these guys who have been there forever, at least in that memo, have you ever seen promulgated at any of your companies or anything when it comes from the top an undated, unsigned memo? | ||
| I take it nobody wants to take ownership of that memo, right? | ||
| But continue on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I voted MAGA three times. | |
| Did he win all three times? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yes. | ||
| There's no doubt in your mind. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not a doubt, not a single doubt. | |
| Why don't we have a special prosecutor for the 2020 election? | ||
| Do you think that might be important? | ||
| That's what we need to know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I would. | |
| And Jay 6 and what Nancy Pelosi did? | ||
| Let's just adjudicate it. | ||
| By the way, if it goes against us, are we fine if they come out after adjudicating it and find out that Trump lost the 2020 election fair and square? | ||
| Are you prepared to accept that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Hang on, get the weak ones here. | ||
| Because he did. | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| Do we have to adjudicate it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, yes. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Continue on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I feel gaslit by Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, um, and Dan Bongino, who I was, I was in big support of. | |
| Um, it is very clear that I, I agree without like some other sources. | ||
| Do we have something up? | ||
| Huh? | ||
| Reporting on it? | ||
| Let's go and play it. | ||
| We got a report now from... | ||
| You're doing fine. | ||
| Give him the hook. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, just stay right there. | |
| Your exit interview is going to continue. | ||
| Director Dan Bongino is considering leaving his job after this heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over his frustration with how the Justice Department has handled the Jeffrey Epstein files. | ||
| That's according to a person who has spoken with Bongino and a source familiar with Bongino and FBI Director Cash Patel's interactions with Bondi. | ||
| Quote, Bongino is out of control, furious. | ||
| The person who has spoken with the deputy FBI director said, quote, this destroyed his career. | ||
| He's threatening to quit and torch Pam unless she is fired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am, and that she is fired. | |
| By the way, is that your favorite tune, Nicole Wallace? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Don't you love Nicole? | ||
| She's the new Rachel Maddow. | ||
| Okay, you heard it right there. | ||
| Dan saying there was a huge confrontation about this, and then he threatened to resign. | ||
| She put it out anyway, and he's going to resign unless she's fired. | ||
| Tell me where you guys come down. | ||
| Okay, how many want to see Cash Patel and Dan Bongina resign over at the FBI? | ||
| Raise your hand. | ||
| Okay, I got one. | ||
| I got one. | ||
| A former potential ex-employee. | ||
| How many want to see Dan Bongino say? | ||
| You want to see Pam Bonnie resign? | ||
| Now, hang on. | ||
| We've known Pan for a long time, right? | ||
| You're prepared to throw her under a bus that quickly? | ||
| KY? | ||
| Get some response. | ||
| Can you get over to the, let's get over to get to Burkwam right now. | ||
| Come over here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, if we have to. | |
| You got to get in the show. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, wait. | |
| Oh, God. | ||
| All right, Ben. | ||
| If we have to choose between Patel, Bongino, and Bondi, I mean, it's an obvious choice. | ||
| I mean, if that's where it's at, it's a no-brainer. | ||
| If that's what we have to choose between, then Bondi can go. | ||
| And, you know, I don't know everything that's going on in there, but I've always said there's no way that Dan Bongino gave up everything he had to do this job to lie to us. | ||
| Pam Bondi's a good person, right? | ||
| Why are you not satisfied with your job? | ||
| Let me hear it. | ||
| Give it to me. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Let's get some other people to get some other people. | ||
| Let's have a couple of female. | ||
| We got any female types? | ||
| Do you have any female types have an opinion? | ||
| He identifies as a child. | ||
| I know the women around the worm are always so quiet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm wearing my red shirt. | |
| So this is what I would say to that. | ||
| Either Pam Bondi is playing 3D or 4D chess with Trump, and he's a part of it, or she needs to just go because she was also, I believe, a Pfizer consultant or something at some point. | ||
| So I think she needs to go unless President Trump, and everybody says he Plays four and 5D chess, and if he's playing that right now, then he'll smooth it over and Dan will stay. | ||
| But we need Dan and Cash to stay. | ||
| You think there's a bank shot? | ||
| Jane, a Zirkle. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you think? | |
| Jane, no fluoride. | ||
| Let's stay on topic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think either there's some behind-the-scenes negotiations with she and the president or not. | |
| And if it's not, then she can seek greener pastures elsewhere. | ||
| Okay, talk about 5D chess. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| My trustee producer just informed me of Inside Baseball in D.C. that actually are saying that it might be Pam Bondi leaking that to become stronger and force those two guys out. | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Is that a bank shot? | ||
| By the way, you've never seen Vicious until you've seen Washington, D.C., right? | ||
| That'll be a burrito. | ||
| Worse than the court of Henry VIII. | ||
| Your thoughts on that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She might be good. | |
| I don't think she's that good. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| You're not buying it. | ||
| Right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think Pam Bondi has been compromised. | |
| You think she's been compromised? | ||
| Oh, hold it. | ||
| She was Attorney General at the great state of Florida for eight years. | ||
| It did a great job, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She was. | |
| She was. | ||
| How many Floridians are here? | ||
| Were you happy with Pam Bondi as an attorney general? | ||
| So what happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a different job. | |
| Okay, short commercial. | ||
| This is what I mean by blowing the brake. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| You know, is out of control, furious. | ||
| Quote, this destroyed his career. | ||
| He's threatening to quit and torch Pam unless she's fired. | ||
| I mean, again, I know we're not in normal times, but if I could just inject a little bit of that barometer, the deputy director of the FBI said that about any attorney general to the press, that he plans to go torch his boss. | ||
| That would be a fireable offense. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, this is Dan Bongino. | ||
| Dan Bongino's been out of control for years. | ||
| You know, Mitch describes him as a bozo. | ||
| He is. | ||
| But I just did a cautionary note here. | ||
| You know, Dan Bongino leaving the FBI is not going to solve the problems of the FBI. | ||
| Dan Bongino's departure is not going to make anything calmer or better. | ||
| By the way, your interview with Sue Gordon and the discussions in the previous hour did underline how grave the threat is. | ||
| But to Mitch's point, all of this flows from Donald Trump himself. | ||
| So when one guy like Dan Bongino leaves, it doesn't mean that things go back to anything close to normal because this is what Donald Trump wants. | ||
| This is why he named these loyalists. | ||
| He didn't want to have what happened in his first term where he had slightly independent cabinet members who bailed on him. | ||
| And so this is the house that Donald Trump built. | ||
| He sent Cash Patel and Dan Bongino into the FBI to torch the place, to tear it all down. | ||
| And it's not perhaps working out the way that he wanted, but this is a mess. | ||
| The one thing that if Dan Bongino does leave, it takes the Epstein story and it just pours kerosene on it. | ||
| It's not something that we just move on from, especially in MAGA world. | ||
| So you will see this. | ||
| You know, one of the big questions I think we have is, you know, is this a one-day story? | ||
| Is this something we're going to forget about by Monday? | ||
| If Dan Bongino and or Cash Patel were to leave because of this, that guarantees that it is going to simmer for a very, very long time. | ||
| And the result will be more chaos, not less chaos in the Trump administration. | ||
| Do you agree? | ||
| Do you agree right there that this is throwing kerosene on this fire? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| Yes, you agree? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Let's have some responses over here. | ||
| All right, ladies, ladies, we got the ladies in here. | ||
| Hi, I'm Xavier Powers from New York. | ||
| My mom loves you. | ||
| She watches you all the time. | ||
| So I just wanted to say that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm really upset about like... | |
| Yeah. | ||
| But like, I'm really kind of upset. | ||
| So are my brothers, about like they're not releasing the Epstein files at all. | ||
| And like, we don't know what's going on. | ||
| How old are you? | ||
| 19. | ||
| Why do all these young people, why do the young people care? | ||
| Why do you care? | ||
| Because we want our country to move forward and not back into like being like so left that we're not like separated. | ||
| And it's just really good for people to be like, oh, there's other people like me around the world. | ||
| It's just really cool. | ||
| I also went to YAF, Young America Foundation, and I've met a lot of people. | ||
| I'm from New York. | ||
| So I met a lot of people. | ||
| Are you from New York City or upstate New York? | ||
| Upstate New York. | ||
| And I met a lot of people there that thought the same way as me. | ||
| And I was like, this is really refreshing because all my friends were like hardcore liberals from public school. | ||
| So I was like, this is really refreshing. | ||
| So why does Epstein and the Epstein files, this story and what's happening in the FBI, why does it make any difference on what you just said? | ||
| Well, because it's just like, I really want to hear what's going on in the world. | ||
| I just don't want to be like, ignorance is bliss sometimes, but like not all the time. | ||
| You need to know like facts and everything like that. | ||
| That's why we have things like the War Room, Turning Point USA. | ||
| It's just really important for us to know those things and what's going on in our country. | ||
| Because if we don't know, then we're just going to be stuck. | ||
| And what's your name? | ||
| Xavienne Powers. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Xavier. | ||
| Xavier. | ||
| Your mom raised you upright. | ||
| Shout out to your mom. | ||
| What's your mom's name? | ||
| Maria. | ||
| Shout out to Maria. | ||

All right. | |
| Good chair, young lady. | ||
|

|
Hey, I feel like Lindsey Graham publicly supported Pam Bondi for her nomination, so. | |
| Did that make you concerned? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Killed it for me, yeah. | |
| Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| Didn't the President of the United States, our leader, endorse Lindsey Graham in South Carolina? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that was a deal, I guess, I don't know about. | |
| Are you a fan of Lindsey Graham? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am not. | |
| Are you a fan of Ukraine? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Is it in your mind Cash and Dan or Pam, one or the other? | ||
| Either you keep the set of those at the FBI and replace the Attorney General, or she stays and they go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, she goes and they stay. | |
| You're at, okay, how many. | ||
| You guys support that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's got to go. | |
| Pam Bondi was a great Attorney General in Florida for eight years. | ||
| Does that make a difference? | ||
| Does not. | ||
| Why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because she's not helping us. | |
| She's hurting us. | ||
| Why is Epstein so important? | ||
| Let's get somebody else. | ||
| Why is the Epstein situation so important? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, you opened our eyes to just the deep corruption. | |
| I mean, we had no idea how important, you know, potentially a CIA asset. | ||
| I mean, we didn't know any of that until you started talking about all of the things that you talk about every day. | ||
| And I would hate to lose Pam or Cash or Dan. | ||
| Wouldn't want to lose any of them. | ||
| But something still doesn't feel right about the situation. | ||
| What do you mean doesn't feel right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The binder situation, that whole debacle something is not right with that mindset. | |
| How did you feel? | ||
| You're a supporter of President Trump? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You voted for President Trump? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I did. | |
| How did you feel the other day in the cabinet room when they asked President Trump about the Epstein situation? | ||
| What did you feel? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I felt like he was pushing it off, and I don't know why. | |
| If you were able to sit in the Oval Office with President Trump and give him from your heart your recommendation about this situation, what would you tell him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Release it all. | |
| Release it all. | ||
| Even if it hurt victims? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't see how it could. | |
| I mean, it's got to own, you know, sunlight is the best. | ||
| How about if it hurts innocent people? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I guess, yeah, I don't know how it would hurt innocent people. | |
| But if it did hurt innocent people, would you still release it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it has to be released. | |
| Why does it have to be released? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The transparency. | |
| Jane, let's go over here. | ||
| What's your name and how old are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Will. | |
| I'm 13. | ||
| And why do you think the Epstein file should be released? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think it's really about Epstein. | |
| I think it's about the deep state and just everything surrounding Epstein. | ||
| He's like just the tip of the iceberg. | ||
| Why do you think they haven't released them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it's mostly the deep state getting in the way. | |
| Are you simply repeating what you hear your mom and dad talking around the table? | ||
| Or is this coming from your own reading and your own thinking and your friends talking? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is coming from you, Charlie Kirk. | |
| Basically everyone here. | ||
| Who are you most excited to see at SAS? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Charlie Kirk. | |
| All right. | ||
| That's the second best answer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you think about the Epstein files? | |
| I think President Trump's going to ultimately do the right thing. | ||
| Hold on, let's get this guy's information if we can. | ||
| Mary Beth, can you get his social media? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Good man. | ||
| Can we just get his information, how we make contact? | ||
| We have an intern program. | ||
| In fact, Jane Zirkel and Natalie Winters and Will Blair all came up through the intern program. | ||
| So thank you. | ||
| I didn't hear what he had to say. | ||
| What do you think about the Epstein files? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think President Trump's going to ultimately do the right thing, and it's going to work out. | |
| The files are going to be released. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There may be some redactions to protect the innovation. | |
| Is he getting good information around him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Probably if you're talking about Bongino and Patel, yes. | |
| The others, I'm not so sure anyway. | ||
| What about the amnesty situation? | ||
| I think he's going to do the right thing on that, too. | ||
| And what would the right thing be? | ||
| If you're here illegally, you're here illegally. | ||
| You've broken our own. | ||
| Is that where you guys stand? | ||
| If you're here illegally, you've got to go? | ||
| You don't have any empathy. | ||
| You guys are hard-hearted. | ||
| Why are you so hard-hearted? | ||
| Hey, hey, we're still working, Ben. | ||
| Okay, get from it. | ||
| I'm deep in conversation over here, Steve. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Okay, young lady, come here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, you're going to hate me for this, but why did Elon Musk tweet that you were on that list? | |
| Do what? | ||
| I'm not going to hate you for that. | ||
| Because you know why? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I checked the messenger. | |
| I'm just going to say that. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| It's a great question. | ||
| It's a great question. | ||
| Because I'm the guy, one of my sole focuses in life is the total and complete destruction of Elon Musk. | ||
| He's one of the most evil people ever to walk the face of the earth, right? | ||
| And he's trying to throw out all kinds of garbage. | ||
| Of course it's absurd. | ||
| Just like President, it's absurd on President Trump. | ||
| You saw how evil it was. | ||
| President Trump brought him into his family. | ||
| I've never seen President Trump have somebody for Christmas dinner. | ||
| He had the family there. | ||
| He let Elon come up with the little boy X, have a photo. | ||
| He took it in there. | ||
| And what did he say when he couldn't get his way on the tax cuts for environmental? | ||
| He went there, went there, went there, and then he said, Trump's in the Epstein file. | ||
| That's what kind of guy he is. | ||
| He will smear Trump, he'll smear me, he'll smear anybody who stands away. | ||
| And I'm the one person that stood up to this guy when everybody around kissed his ass, okay? | ||
| A guy like Elon Musk is not just deeply flawed, he's pure evil. | ||
| And Musk understands something. | ||
| I am 100% focused on your total and complete destruction. | ||
| And bro, we're making real progress, okay? | ||
| We're making real progress. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because you're completely and totally evil. | ||
| And you're an illegal alien. | ||
| You should be deported back to South Africa immediately. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| Was that the answer? | ||
| You got it. | ||
| By the way, President Trump, his smear on President Trump, everything President Trump's done for this country. | ||
| Everything President Trump suffered for this country. | ||
| President Trump, remember, he got indicted how many times? | ||
| And he has 700 years or 350 years in prison above him. | ||
| He got assassination attempt, two of them, but one where they hit him. | ||
| I went to a federal prison for four months. | ||
| And this guy who's done nothing but suck money and value out of this country and taxpayers, you know, SpaceX, 97% of SpaceX revenue come from you. | ||
| You pay for it, okay? | ||
| He owns 50% or 70%. | ||
| They just did a valuation and financing at $315 billion. | ||
| Do you own a penny of that? | ||
| No. | ||
| When I made the statement, we should nationalize it and we should nationalize it and take the value of SpaceX and give all of you guys a piece of the action, right? | ||
| Because you're paying for it, not him. | ||
| He should get 20% of whatever management teams get. | ||
| All he is is a defense contractor. | ||
| He's a total scam. | ||
| And he thinks because he owns Twitter, He can't. | ||
| We backed him off the HB1 visas. | ||
| We back him off every time. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| He's a tiny little boy. | ||
| You see the pictures of him when he was at PayPal with the bald head and the goofy face? | ||
| That's Elon Musk, right? | ||
| That is Elon Musk. | ||
| He's a total and complete dweeb and a nerd. | ||
| And I am totally and completely focused on his total and complete destruction and deportation out of this country because he's evil. | ||
| He turned on President Trump. | ||
| He started this America Party, which essentially everybody that voted was in subcontinent of India. | ||
| Why did he do that? | ||
| He did that so he could flip enough House seats so that President Trump would get impeached. | ||
| What's going to happen in 26 if you have an America party that takes five or six House seats or costs a couple of hundred million dollars? | ||
| This guy's total program is to put a gun to President Trump's head. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| A lot of people are afraid of him and back down. | ||
| I'm not afraid of him. | ||
| In fact, the bigger they come, the harder they fall. | ||
| And I am totally and completely focused on his destruction. | ||
| And he should understand what happened yesterday with NASA, where his buddy, his best friend, ran it and gave him all, we're going to give him all those soft contracts over to SpaceX to make it worth $600 billion. | ||
| Sean Duffy, and Sean Duffy was the one individual sat in that cabinet room when Elon Musk sat there and told the president, hey, this guy's totally incompetent, don't know what he's doing. | ||
| He said, dude, you got these doge 19-year-olds with acne running around letting half the air traffic controllers go. | ||
| I'm not going to tolerate it. | ||
| Elon Musk said, oh, no, that's not the truth. | ||
| And Sean Duffy had the stones to sit there and say, you are a liar. | ||
| And I'll prove you're lie. | ||
| And President Trump respected that. | ||
| That's why he put Sean Duffy in charge of NASA. | ||
| And let me tell Elon Musk something. | ||
| Your days over SpaceX are going to be a lot harder now that Sean Duffy's on NASA, including beginning a forensic audit of all the money you stole. | ||
| You do understand the Doge thing. | ||
| What he did, Doge, a complete lie. | ||
| You know what Doge was there for? | ||
| It was there to get the data and data sets of American citizens to drive artificial intelligence. | ||
| Artificial intelligence is not prepared to share with anybody. | ||
| He's not prepared to share the value of it. | ||
| We're not going to let it happen. | ||
| I can already tell you there are many things underway right now to make sure he's totally held accountable for every second he was in the federal government. | ||
| But thank you for the question. | ||
| I knew you'd like that. | ||
| I knew you'd like that one. | ||
| Hang on, hang on. | ||
| Do we have, if we don't have John Solomon, I got a bolt because we're in the sixth colour. | ||
