All right!
And just to commemorate, today is Holy Thursday, where we celebrate the Last Supper of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Easter Sunday this week.
Amen.
So he said, do this in memory of me, not watch it on TV.
So let's all go to church on Sunday and do this in memory of him.
I say that all the time when I taught CCD.
He didn't say, uh, think about church.
He said, do this in memory of me.
So, uh, I will be there on Sunday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but it's Holy Thursday today, tomorrow.
Good Friday.
Uh, so listen, I asked yesterday on my show and.
I'm always honest about the feedback.
When feedback's bad, it's bad.
When it's good, it's good.
Yesterday's feedback was fascinating because I got a ton of it.
Because I asked the question on my show, liberals, why are you so dumb?
There are things in front of your face that you can see are wrong and you do them anyway.
That's the hallmark of anti-intellectual behavior.
I get it.
It may have come off kind of crass.
I said it last night again on Sean Hannity's show.
I didn't intend to, but he asked me, you know, about crime policies in New York and what the liberals were up to.
I said, I don't know because liberals are stupid.
I'm sorry.
It's hard to get in their heads.
But I felt bad because while asking liberals why they were so dumb, I didn't answer the question that I should have provided you for an answer.
This is the segment from yesterday's show.
It's only about 25 seconds.
It went kind of viral yesterday.
A number of people picked it up, thanks to Dinesh D'Souza, who tweeted out the segment and others.
And the gist of this and why I was talking about this is I'm really curious why liberals are so eager to destroy our economy, our education system, and our national defense.
And I was kind of frustrated yesterday, and this was the result.
Why are you so dumb?
Oh damn, that's offensive.
It's true!
Why are you so stupid?
Have you ever asked yourself that?
Why am I so dumb?
Why am I lobbying for my own kids to be kept out of school while putting people in the country illegally who broke the law into plastic containers who were COVID infected in our country?
Why?
Because I'm stupid?
Is there any other explanation?
Ah, cut made its way around yesterday.
Again, I had to repeat it last night on Fox because I was very frustrated yesterday.
And I thought as I woke up this morning and put together in my head an outline and chronology of what today's show was going to look like, step by step, I said, why didn't I leave people with an answer?
That's irresponsible of me.
Now I'm going to give it to you.
This is why liberals are so dumb.
This video I'm about to play for you.
You know Yuri Bezmenov?
If you haven't heard that name, I strongly suggest you look it up and put it in a search engine.
He was a defector, an intelligence official from the Soviet Union, at one point committed to the overthrow of capitalism, who saw the light and then committed the rest of his life to exposing what the Soviets were doing to destroy freedom and liberty around the globe, specifically within the United States.
He gave an interview decades ago, and the interview is powerful.
If you haven't listened to it, I will, as a favor to you, put the link.
To that video, up in my newsletter today.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
You can listen to the entire 13 minutes and 37 seconds.
I have the cuts you need right here.
So, again, keeping in mind, why are liberals so dumb?
Because they are engaging actively in ideological subversion and they are useful idiots.
Suckers for people committed to the destruction of the United States who use these useful idiots inside the United States to eat us alive like a cancer from the inside out.
Here's Besmanov in the open of this interview.
Answering the question when the interviewer asks him that.
Hey, what's going on here?
Is this some kind of ideological subversion within the United States?
Check this out.
Well, you spoke several times before about ideological subversion.
That is a phrase that I'm afraid some Americans don't fully understand.
When the Soviets use the phrase ideological subversion, what do they mean by it?
Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate, all word, And open.
You can see it with your own eyes.
All you have to do, all American mass media has to do is to unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it.
There's no mystery.
There's nothing to do with espionage.
I know that espionage intelligence gathering looks more romantic.
It sells more deodorants through the advertising, probably.
That's why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond type thrillers.
But in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all.
According to my opinion, and the opinion of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money and manpower is spent on espionage as such.
The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures,
"Aktivne Meropriyatia" in the language of the KGB, or psychological warfare.
Psychological warf- warfare?
Ideological subversion?
Destroying the United States from within?
Getting the United States to destroy itself?
How would you get the United States to destroy itself?
By getting it to hate itself?
Kind of sounds familiar what's going on right now, doesn't it?
Yep.
This is a KGB defector telling us exactly how they plan to destroy the country over this slow roll over time, eating the United States alive from within by getting its own population to hate itself via ideological subversion.
He says how, listen, only about 15% of our time is spent on actual intelligence gathering in the United States.
The rest of the time are just slow roll measures, turning the United States against itself.
In this second clip here, again, if you haven't watched this video, I've seen it probably a hundred times, but a friend of mine reminded me last night about it.
Here he describes, Yuri, describes exactly what ideological subversion is.
He talks about here how the United States is slowly being eaten alive from the inside through brainwashing in four stages.
And he goes into the first stage here, the demoralization of the population in the United States, by getting them demoralized, by sicking them on each other through race wars, identity politics, anti-patriotism.
Not only should you not love your country, but you should hate it.
Listen to him explain exactly how this happens.
Check this out.
What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American To such an extent that despite of the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided in four basic stages.
The first one being demoralization.
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation.
Why that many years?
Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students.
in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy.
In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students, without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism.
The result?
The result you can see.
Most of the people who graduated in the 60s, Now you may say to yourself, my gosh, that's not happening here, really.
are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, educational system.
You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them.
They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern.
Now you may say to yourself, my gosh, that's not happening here, really.
He makes two critical points there.
That Marxism, socialism, collectivism, you know, AOC and Bernie Sanders and now Joe Biden are actively supporting,
whether they tell you that or not, that these are destructive ideologies designed to destroy
the United States, freedom and liberty and everything you think you stand for.
If you're a Democrat, I'm all for tolerance, freedom for minorities, freedom for immigrants, everything.
You're actually supporting the opposite.
So Marxism is a pernicious, deadly ideology.
Point number one, he makes us being pushed in the United States to our education system.
That's point number two.
The education system is the vehicle to indoctrinate people over a series of years into, again, a destructive, implosion-type theory where we should all be eating each other alive.
It's so frustrating.
Black versus white.
Union versus non-union.
Man versus woman.
Gay versus straight.
This is being taught right now to get us to eat each other alive!
And he just says that regardless of the facts you put in front of people, they don't realize that that's what they're doing because they're useful idiots!
You don't believe me?
Let me produce some examples!
Here is an organizer for Black Lives Matter, one of the founders, Patrisse Cullors, during an interview telling the interviewer that she is in fact a Marxist.
Check this out!
I also think that it might... I think of a lot of things.
The first thing I think is that we actually do have an ideological frame.
Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers.
We are trained Marxists.
So just to be clear!
You're a liberal, useful idiot.
Again, why are you so dumb?
You're a liberal, useful idiot who thinks you're supporting black lives, when in fact you're being used by enemies of the United States, pushing a destructive ideology, Marxism, on you.
Via a vehicle called Black Lives Matter.
And you think you're there supporting black lives when you're really supporting the destruction of the United States.
And no matter the facts I put in front of you, one of the founders of Black Lives Matter telling you she's a trained Marxist.
Marxists who hate minorities.
Communist Marxists who torture and imprison Uyghurs, black citizens, anyone who doesn't resemble anyone in their population, whatever they look like, they destroy them!
They destroy them, they imprison them!
And yet you go out there and march with these people, even though they're telling you what they are!
Marxists are racists!
They have always treated minority groups horribly.
Always!
From people who happen to be black, to people who are Uyghurs, to Muslims, everyone.
They've been treated horribly by Marxists.
And yet you're marching in solidarity with a group founded by a woman telling you she's a Marxist!
But it doesn't matter!
Just like Besminov says in the video, it doesn't matter!
You have been indoctrinated to be stupid!
Over decades, you've been indoctrinated to be immune to facts.
She's telling you she's a Marxist.
Marxism has wiped out hundreds of millions of lives and is by default racist.
And yet you're a sucker.
You think you're fighting for black lives.
Why are you so dumb?
Why are you so dumb?
I'm sorry if this show turns you off.
It has to be done.
Someone sent me an email this morning.
Dan, you should use other words.
No, I'm done with that.
There is no other way to break through.
None.
Maybe you need to get ideologically just slammed in the gut here.
Why are you so dumb?
This KGB defector tells you this is how we're going to destroy your country.
From the inside out, we are going to use you to advance Marxist ideas which will destroy your country.
We're going to tell you about it, and you're still too stupid to figure it out.
And we're going to use the education system.
Check out this piece by the New York Post.
Kenneth Garger.
Remember this story we covered on the show?
School board members reportedly targeting parents opposed to critical race theory.
Critical race theory, a theory, and I'm using that term loosely with the dreaded air quotes, that teaches people to hate other people based on the color of their skin.
Critical race theory is racist by nature, period.
There's no argument about that.
It teaches people to categorize and judge people by the color of their skin.
That's the definition of racism, period.
Period.
No argument.
I'm not interested in your arguments.
Your arguments are silly and irrelevant.
And if you dare speak out against critical race theory, again, the Marxists wanted this.
They wanted us eating each other alive.
Black versus white.
Hispanic versus black.
Asian versus black.
Asian versus white.
They wanted this.
Teachers want to push it in our schools, teaching us to hate each other based on our skin color.
And if you dare fight back, school board members reportedly will target the parents opposed to it.
March 29th, 2021, New York Post.
Oh, I'm not done with the video here.
There's more.
Yuri Bezmenov.
Little did he know, this may be one of the most profound I-told-you-so moments in the history of humankind.
Here's the third part of the video where he talks about how first, if you're going to ideologically engage in subversion and destroy the United States from the inside out, you have to demoralize the population first by sticking them on each other and getting in the fight internally.
Kind of sounds like what's happening now, right?
Just showed you the evidence.
Here he talks about how, don't worry, you will always have useful idiots who will help.
Always.
Hollywood celebrities, some of the dumbest people on planet Earth, some of the dumbest people on planet Earth, they will always be there to help you.
Stupid corporations, corporations who are just beyond dopey, who don't realize they're contributing to the downfall of the United States, or do... I prefer to think they're just useful idiots.
And not outright traitors.
But here, Besmanov talks about how useful idiots who have enriched themselves off the destruction of the United States, who are being used by external forces and pernicious ideologies to destroy the country from within, how they're going to get really rich off it until it turns on them.
And then they're going to have that, oh, darn, I was going to say something else, but we're on terrestrial radio moment.
Well, all of a sudden the whole system turns on them, but they're getting really rich off siccing the country on themselves now and pushing this internal destruction ideology.
Check this out.
And yet these people who've been programmed, and as you say, in place, and who are favorable to an opening with the Soviet concept, these are the very people who would be marked for extermination in this country?
Most of them, yes.
Simply because The psychological shock, when they will see in future what the beautiful society of equality and social justice means in practice, obviously they will revolt.
They will be very unhappy, frustrated people.
And the Marxist-Leninist regime does not tolerate these people.
Obviously they will join the links of dissenters, dissidents.
Unlike in present United States, there will be no place for dissent in future Marxist-Leninist America.
Here you can get popular like Daniel Ellsberg and filthy rich like Jane Fonda for being dissident, for criticizing
your Pentagon.
In future, these people will be simply squashed like cockroaches.
Useful idiots everywhere.
Now he's talking decades ago about the actress Jane Fonda.
Fame, notoriety.
After literally, not figuratively, taking photos with an at-war enemy of the United States.
She got very famous amongst the left.
The left thought it was great.
People trying to kill our own citizens.
She's sitting there taking photos with them.
But that's still happening today.
There are useful idiots now getting very rich and wealthy off peddling ideas that are leading to a metastasizing cancer within the United States, eating the country they claim to love alive because they're too stupid to figure it out!
You don't believe me?
Washington Free Beacon.
You know Robin DiAngelo?
Robin DiAngelo wrote this book, White Fragility.
The piece, I have this in our newsletter today.
Read this piece.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
This is one of the leading intellectual titans, and believe me, I'm using that term loosely, of the left.
Robin DiAngelo pushing this critical race theory garbage.
And the article's about how really wealthy Robin got.
It's titled, The Wages of Woke.
How Robin DiAngelo Got Rich Peddling White Fragility.
Talks about her mammoth speaking fees and Million dollar book advances and...
Fascinating, because decades ago, Besmanov warned us about these people.
How in the United States, before crisis stage, liberals, intellectuals, and elites would push the internal destruction of the United States and the division of the United States through identity politics, critical race theory, class warfare.
They would get really rich until it all comes crashing down and then they become targets too.
Something I've warned you about.
If you haven't read the book, The First Circle by Solzhenitsyn, Excuse me.
Listen, I hate when people say that.
I have not read the whole thing.
I want to be candid with you because I can't stand when people do that.
But I have read chunks, large chunks of it.
Just like the Gulag Archipelago.
If you have not read the First Circle by Solzhenitsyn, where he talks exactly about this.
How in the initial stages of the destruction of a country from the inside out, the elites, the academics, and others, who think they're the woke ones, right?
Get really wealthy and famous off pushing the internal destruction until it hits critical mass.
The Marxists then, when they don't need them anymore, discard them.
And if they dare speak out, they get in prison too!
Besmanoff has warned them.
I mean, this is incredible.
He said it.
He told us.
Did we not listen?
Have we missed all of this?
How, again, how can you be so dumb?
These people are playing you for fools.
D'Angelo is wealthy beyond imagination, pushing Americans to hate each other and judge them on skin color.
Folks, I've got more from this video.
Let me get to my second sponsor, and I've got more from this video here because it's just... I mean, this should be played in every school across America today as a warning.
And maybe in a decade or two, we can save this country.
All right, the other side of this, I'll get to more.
Please don't miss it.

Useful idiots profiting off the chaos.
Best Man Off has another great, I mean, this video is just priceless every second of it.
But in the interest of time, I had to cut some chunks of it out.
Here he talks about how during this ideological subversion, where the enemies of the United States will destroy it from the inside out, they have to demoralize the population first and use the useful idiots to demoralize the United States.
Use teachers' unions, use the education system, use elites, Hollywood, athletes, some of these other dunces who will tell you how terrible the United States is.
He says, listen, he warns you, these people are immune to facts.
You may say, Dan, this sounds really bad.
No, no, I'm going to leave you at the end with a positive note.
These people are immune to facts.
I have said this over and over and over again.
I'm not kidding.
It has been an evergreen topic of this show for seven years.
How liberals are immune to facts.
You are not debating them when you debate them.
So Dan, what's the point?
The point is there's a third party listening.
When you are debating liberals, there is no getting through.
Their skulls are seven feet thick.
They are absolutely convinced, even though their own ideological small-g gods, like BLM leader Patrisse Cullors, are telling them they practice Marxism.
They still don't believe it.
Forget them!
Debate them only because there are other people listening.
And to them, I promise you can get through.
Here's Besmanov talking about this immunity to facts.
Check this out.
The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years.
Actually, it's overfulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where previously not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such a tremendous success.
Most of it is done by Americans to Americans, thanks to lack of moral standards.
As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore.
A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information.
The facts tell nothing to him.
Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures, Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.
When a military boot crashes his... then he will understand, but not before that.
That's the tragic of the situation of demoralization.
Powerful.
Powerful.
They will not understand until the military boot crashes into their fat bottom.
They won't.
The modern liberal is immune to facts.
There is nothing you can tell them to change their mind.
They are fully demoralized as they've sicced themselves on each other in a war of black versus white, rich versus poor, union versus non-union.
They've been fully demoralized and they're fully immune to facts.
Again, in case you're saying to yourself, well, Dan, you have to produce some evidence.
You produce the BLM video, the New York Post article, the Free Beacon article about Robin DiAngelo getting rich off this.
Um, I'd like to see some factual immunity.
Okay, here's our media.
Now the media has one job, correct?
One job and one job only.
The media's job purports to be a distribution of facts so you can make your own opinion.
Last time I checked, that's what they were supposed to do.
So here's our media here.
You know, Joe Biden put out a trillion dollar infrastructure plan idea this week, but Trump did that first, which was interesting because when Trump's infrastructure plan, as we see at the New York times, they're supposed to be engaged in the distribution of facts here.
Here's an article by the New York times hat tip, the great Eddie zipper, by the way, where I found this on his social media feed, Trump's infrastructure plan puts the burden on state and private money.
Okay, so Trump had an infrastructure plan.
The New York Times is into facts and all.
How did they describe his $200 billion infrastructure plan?
Which last time I checked is significantly less than $2 trillion.
They described it this way.
Quote, coming up with the $200 billion in federal funding will not be easy.
Republicans have already ballooned the deficit.
So they're very concerned about deficits here.
Is everybody tracking?
The New York Times, very concerned.
$200 billion plan.
They're very concerned about, quote, ballooning the deficit.
Democrats are unlikely to go along with cuts that would offset the cost of Mr. Trump's plan.
So there's the New York Times!
Again, keep Besman off in mind, how the demoralized population from the inside out is immune to facts.
So you would think it would be a fact that if the media that engages in facts was concerned about the ballooning, their words, not mine, ballooning deficit with a $200 billion plan, that when Joe Biden proposed a $2 trillion plan, they would be super extra concerned about debt and deficits.
Let's see!
Let's go right back to the New York Times.
New York Times.
Biden details a $2 trillion plan to rebuild infrastructure and reshape the economy.
Okay.
Doesn't seem that negative there.
So let's check how they describe it within the piece.
Clearly, they're going to be concerned about ballooning deficits.
So let's look for that language from within the piece.
Let's see.
Let me just quote the New York Times.
And if you hear ballooning deficits, let me know.
But even spread over years, the scale of the proposal, talking about Biden's plan, underscores how fully Mr. Biden has embraced the opportunity to use federal spending to address longstanding social and economic challenges in a way not seen in a half a century.
Ballooning, deafness, they don't see it.
Officials said that if approved, the spending in the plan would end decades of stagnation in federal investment in research and infrastructure, and would return government investment in those areas as a share of the economy to its highest level since the 1960s.
That's really weird.
New York Times, supposed to do facts, they describe Trump's plan, which is a tenth of what the other plan is, Biden's plan.
$200 billion for Trump, $2 trillion for Joe Biden, okay?
And they're worried about ballooning deficits under Trump's plan, which is a fraction of Biden's plan.
And yet when they talk about Biden's plan, that's really strange.
They don't mention anything about ballooning deficits At all.
Even though the deficit now under Biden is higher than it was under Trump.
But don't worry!
The New York Times is all about the facts.
All about the facts.
Not according to Besmanov.
The fully demoralized population is entirely immune to facts.
Until the military boot kicks them, quote, in their fat bottoms.
Here, Besmanov talks about one of the next steps after demoralizing the population by siccing them on each other.
Critical race theory, identity politics, class warfare.
Here he talks about how you have to engage in some form of subversion of the economy and defense and national defense.
But again, keep in mind, Besmanov is a KGB defector.
He's not talking about the Soviets at the time doing this, the Russians.
He's talking about getting people and useful idiots within the United States to do it themselves.
Getting corporations in the United States, government officials, academics, elitists, getting them to destroy their own economy in defense.
Why would the Soviets have to do it?
Get the U.S.
to do it to itself.
Get it to infect them with a virus that destroys it from within.
Marxism.
Collectivism.
We don't have to attack from the outside.
They'll attack themselves from the inside.
Check this out.
The next stage is destabilization.
This time, subverter does not care about your ideas and the patterns of your consumption.
Whether you eat junk food and get fat and flabby doesn't matter anymore.
This time, and it takes only from two to five years to destabilize a nation, what matters is essentials.
Economy, foreign relations, defense systems.
And you can see it quite clearly that in some areas, in such sensitive areas as defense and economy, the influence of Marxist-Leninist ideas in the United States is absolutely fantastic.
I could never believe it 14 years ago when I landed in this part of the world that the process will go that fast.
Is this... Is this not...
Again, the biggest I told you so moment in American history.
Is there another one?
Is there another one that ranks higher on the I told you so scale?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I haven't found one yet.
Why I didn't play this video sooner is beyond me.
Thankfully, my friend called me last night and warned me about it again.
You say, that's not happening here, Dan.
We're not destroying our economy and defense from within.
Did you miss the story of the Biden diversity czar that got appointed to oversee diversity in the military, who just got suspended from his post because he was the same guy making a social media post comparing Trump to enemies of the United States, Hitler and stuff?
Did you miss that story?
Diversities are in the middle.
I thought our military was about winning wars.
No, no!
It's about the skin color of who wins them.
Or loses them.
Get them to eat themselves alive in national defense.
Get them to destroy their own economy from within.
Is that happening?
New York Times, published March 31st.
Delta and Coca-Cola reverse course on Georgia voting law, stating it's crystal clear opposition to it.
Delta.
Delta, why don't you just fly the planes, huh?
Coca-Cola, why don't you just push your disgusting sugar water on people?
Why don't you just do that?
Why don't you stick to that?
And stay away from the lies about the Georgia voting law.
By the way, I don't drink Coca-Cola.
Ever.
And never will in my life because I don't drink any soda.
But, folks, you do you.
Boycotts are stupid and dumb.
But they want to boycott us and Coca-Cola and Delta want to get behind a boycott of freedom and liberty and free and fair elections.
That's exactly what they're doing.
Maybe you should speak out too.
Leave the Coca-Cola on the shelf.
Fly another airline for a while.
Get them to destroy their own economy from within and get useful idiots at Coca-Cola and Delta to help you.
Well, surely Biden's not involved in that.
Oh, here's a story by Heritage.
Be up in the newsletter today.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Check it out.
Biden's proposed tax increases would be the largest since LBJ's in 1968.
Biden's proposing tax increases.
I thought just a month ago, Biden told us he wanted a stimulus bill that they passed to inject money in the economy.
Now they want to take money out again.
I get that if you're a liberal, going back to the beginning of the show, why are you so dumb None of this makes sense.
Yes, pushing money into the economy from a stimulus will work to grow the economy.
Next month, taking money out of the economy by taxing it back will definitely grow the economy.
Do you realize you just said the opposite thing?
Opposite.
Yep.
Up, down.
Left, right.
Right, left.
It's not the same thing.
You can't explain!
They're immune to facts!
You just told us a stimulus putting money into the economy we don't have by borrowing it and giving out benefits to people to inject money into the economy was the path to prosperity.
Now he's pushing the biggest tax hike in modern American history to remove the money they put into the economy back out of the economy and to liberals they're like, this makes perfect sense.
Why are you so dumb?
How are you so dumb?
Because you're immune to facts.
You've been totally demoralized.
And you've been brainwashed.
And this stupid virus has infected everyone.
Here's another story.
It's up in the show notes this week in the newsletter by Kevin Williamson from National Review when the party's over.
Kevin Williamson can't stand me, but that's okay!
That's okay.
He writes some good stuff once in a while.
Smart guy.
But Kevin Williamson's article on the debt's pretty amazing.
Talks about how we're walking into the most obvious financial national calamity in modern human history, our national debt, where we will go bankrupt at some point.
They say, oh, we can just print out.
It'll be a de facto, not a de jure bankruptcy, but it will be effectively bankrupt the country.
We're walking right into it.
And liberals again are like whistling past the government.
It's so funny.
Useful idiots.
Immune to facts.
Playing right along while the United States gets destroyed from within.
I've got two more cuts from this.
Here's the most powerful part of the interview.
Where this KGB defector, Mr. Besminov, he talks about how we're at war.
We're at war inside the United States with ourselves.
And you better damn well wake up to what's happening.
Because there is nowhere else to escape to.
We are one of the last refuges of true freedom anywhere on earth.
Can't even go into Canada right now without being imprisoned in a hotel room.
Not a joke.
I covered it on yesterday's show if you missed it.
So did Tucker last night.
And if we lose our freedom and liberty here, vaccine passports, I'll get to that by the way, All that other stuff.
There's nowhere else to go, folks.
This is it.
This is the last stop on the train.
And what did I say to you weeks ago?
I said, this fight's coming to your door.
You can't ignore it.
I had a friend recently say, oh, you know what?
I just tell my My kid in school to, you know, just paint between the lines and play along with the program.
That's not what I tell my kid.
I tell my daughter, you fight back at every opportunity.
Some teacher tells you something you know is BS, you fight back because this fight's coming to your door.
You might as well embrace it now.
Here's Besmanov's warning.
We are at war with ourselves.
Check this out.
Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system trains another generation of people who think they are living at a peacetime.
False.
United States is in the state of war.
Undeclared total war against the basic principles and the foundations of this system.
And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov, of course.
It's the system, however ridiculous it may sound, the world communist system, or the world communist conspiracy.
Whether I scare some people or not, I don't give a hoot.
If you are not scared by now, nothing can scare you.
But you don't have to be paranoid about it.
What actually happens now, that unlike myself, you have Literally, several years to live on, unless United States wake up.
The time bomb is ticking.
With every second, the disaster is coming closer and closer.
Unlike myself, you will have nowhere to defect to.
Nowhere.
Nowhere.
This is it.
This is it.
Now do you see why when elections come up, and I get it, many of you say, hey, I'm not comfortable what happened in the 2020 election.
Why bother?
Because there's no other option.
What do you mean, why bother?
You're just going to give up for what?
What do you think's going to happen?
I'm going to give up, forfeit away my country, forfeit away my country my kids live in.
Even if you don't want to do it for you, for your kids, because what?
You're going to leave for New Zealand or Canada?
You'd be imprisoned in a hotel in Canada.
I'm not kidding.
If you watch yesterday's show, if you decide you're going to travel there.
There is no giving up.
There is no quit.
There's no walking off the golf course.
There's just none.
There's no walking out of the boxing ring.
There's no walking off the baseball field.
There isn't.
You have to continue to fight.
You have to.
You don't have a choice.
I'm not suggesting there's a good option.
I'm suggesting there's a less bad option.
You darn well better go down swinging.
Because there is no other option.
Here's the last cut from this video.
Where Besmanov says, you can fix this.
Because I never like to leave you on a bad note.
It's a great country.
With incredibly entrepreneurial, freedom-loving people.
Who are not going to have this in the long run.
But he says it's going to take a while to fix.
But he suggests in this final clip how the only way to do it is an awakening.
What I have begged you, begged you, to tell your friends and neighbors, that the fight is coming to your door, and the longer you ignore it, the worse it gets.
Embrace it and take it on right now.
That fight doesn't have to be big, bold steps.
It can be small, baby steps.
Speaking out at your kid's school curriculum meeting.
Sending a letter to the teacher.
Voting.
Volunteering for some political organization that supports freedom.
Send a few bucks their way if you can.
It can be baby steps, but make no mistake.
There has to be some step.
Standing still is not going to work anymore.
So he talks about an awakening here and how a slow reversion back to teaching patriotism, liberty, freedom, civics, values back in our school.
We can change the next generation.
And ironically, the teachers' unions are doing that for us now by refusing to indoctrinate our kids, by refusing to teach them, as Americans are figuring it out how to teach at home and in pods by themselves.
Ironic that the teachers' unions, who use these principles to fester this internal division with us, are now destroying their own plan.
Check this out.
So, two very simple, maybe two simplistic answers or solutions, but nevertheless, they
are the only solutions.
Educate yourself, understand what's going on around you.
You are not living at the time of peace.
You are in a state of war.
And you have precious little time to save yourself.
You don't have much time, especially if you are talking about young generation.
There's not much time left for convulsions to the beautiful disco ball.
disco music, very soon it will go just overnight.
If we are talking about capitalists or wealthy businessmen, I think they are selling the rope on which
they will hang very soon.
I cut it there specifically for a reason.
He warns that the capitalists, big business, are selling them the rope by which
they'll hang them very soon.
business is not our friends folks.
Freedom and liberty are.
I will always support freedom and liberty and economic liberty.
I will never support government confiscating money from anyone because they're the most destructive force in the country right now, big government.
But big business isn't far behind right now.
Google, Apple, Amazon, Coca-Cola, Delta, they don't give a damn about you.
Freedom or liberty.
Delta has no problem whatsoever taking flights to China, a communist country which imprisons Uyghurs and sterilizes their women.
No problem at all doing that.
Coca-Cola has no problem with international business in countries that do significant damage to minority populations.
I don't see them putting out daily protests about that.
But when it comes to a voter law in Georgia, which will lead to a more free and fair election, oh no, then all of a sudden they gotta put out corporate statements.
The capitalists will sell them the rope by which they'll hang them.
But we can fix it.
It all starts at home.
With our education, our kids' school, and making sure they learn real American values.
There's no complicated answer.
It's a very simple answer.
Once we break the indoctrination cycle and start teaching kids what really matters, reading, writing, arithmetic, civics, love of country, fairness, freedom, liberty for all, we can start to stop the tidal wave coming ashore.
Now, you may say to yourself after listening to that, and I encourage you to listen to the whole thing.
It's about 13 and a half minutes long.
It's in my newsletter today.
Bongito.com slash newsletter.
Check it out.
You may say ideological subversion.
Come on, Dan, this all seems quite dramatic.
It's not happening here.
Really, I discussed yesterday a story in the show at the end about how the Chinese Communist Party, which wishes to destroy America, found a very successful tactic, discovered it, that tactic being using American businesses to attack the country from within.
And then I showed you another article yesterday showing you how liberals are doing the exact same thing, i.e.
Coca-Cola, Delta, useful idiots.
Well, here's another example I found yesterday in this great piece by Victoria Taft at PJ Media, up in the newsletter today.
Joe Biden's vaccine passport sounds like a precursor to China's social credit score.
Here's how China's plan works.
Sounds a lot like to the vaccine passport.
Here's screenshot number one from the piece about how Joe Biden's vaccine passport is going to work.
It says, quote, New York Magazine reports the passport would be wide in scope.
Quote, proof of vaccination may be a critical driver for restoring baseline population health and promoting safe return to social, commercial, and leisure activities.
There's also some focus group evidence that vaccine passports could help convince Americans who do not want to get inoculated and sign up for a shot.
So we're going to have an in crowd and an out crowd, I guess.
That's how that's going to work.
Either you take the shot, Which is voluntary.
Take it or not, your choice.
But you don't take the shot, you're gonna be in the out crowd, not the in crowd.
There are things the in crowd can do that you're just gonna be kept out of.
And American businesses will play right along because they are useful idiots immune to facts.
Well, that sounds a lot like the communist Chinese social scoring system.
Here's how that works, from the PJ Media piece.
The worldwide pandemic vaccine passport being proposed appears to be a lighter version, for the moment, of China's social credit score scheme.
This divides people into camps.
The trustworthy and the untrustworthy.
Trustworthy people who hew to government diktats would get more points.
This is a scheme we feel sure the left is going to love.
You can guess which group you'd be in.
Besmanov, he warned us that enemies of the United States would use useful idiots and thought leaders, using that term thoughtlessly, to destroy the United States from the inside out, demoralize, and subvert liberty and freedom and the efforts of government to maintain a free and prosperous society.
He warned us!
And it's happening right now!
All right, folks, because I don't want to leave you on a bad note on Holy Thursday and Easter week, where Christians, myself included, celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I do want to leave you, and we will have a show tomorrow, by the way, and we'll be back on Monday.
I didn't take any vacation this week.
But I want to leave you on a bit of a good note because there are some good positive things happening as you are seeing people fight back against the internal subversion of the United States by useful idiots too stupid to figure it out.
Going back to my initial question, why are you so dumb?
These people are telling you how they wanted to destroy the United States and you're like, count me in!
Golly!
Dopes.
Here's one of the good guys.
So we have our hero of the day.
Last week we had a hero of the week.
Officer was killed in the line of duty.
We do have a hero, but this is our runner-up hero of the day.
And I usually don't do a runner-up hero of the day, but when you find out who the hero of the day is, the runner-up hero of the day will make more sense.
Runner-up hero of the day today is someone I would love to see run for president myself one day.
Ron DeSantis.
We love Governor Ron DeSantis down here in Florida.
They don't want to come on the show, but that's okay.
We still love him.
I say that every... Poor Ron.
I get it.
He's busy.
He's doing his thing.
But Ron DeSantis gets what's going on.
He's banned critical race theory from schools in Florida because he understands it's a Marxist subversion tactic to destroy the country from the inside out by getting them to hate each other based on race.
So Ron was asked yesterday, Governor DeSantis, was asked at a press conference yesterday, this is going to start out with a media person always going on the attack against DeSantis, because that's what the media does, because they're immune to facts and they're useful idiots.
And they're trying to put him on the spot.
And if you can hear, it's very low.
She says something to the effect of, you know, this person who was pregnant was Can you talk about the people that were affected by your decision to come?
DeSantis just asked her, hey, do you have the facts on that?
Watch the response.
They have no idea.
And watch how DeSantis just sticks it to this media loon who has no idea what she's talking about.
Check this out.
Can you talk about the people that were affected by your decision to come?
There were pregnant women, people with COVID, people caring for children at home who were denied
unemployment pay because you didn't meet the requirements.
Can you give me that information?
You have the information on those people that you can provide?
So you didn't, can you provide me those, the indications of that or the examples?
Okay, next.
I mean, Governor, are you asking for names, or we're asking you questions about actions you've taken?
So are you looking for names that we need to give you?
I don't trust the premise of the question.
So yes, I would like to see some validity to what they're saying before I indulge the premise, because I don't think that the premise... It's not something I'm going to accept at face value.
Okay, let's do something else.
[laughing]
Off the sky.
[laughing]
[laughing]
Off the sky.
Yeah, yeah, let's just do something.
Bye now.
Why accept the premise to the question?
She has no evidence.
She's not giving names or anything.
She could be making it up.
Oh, the media never does that.
Really?
They made up the peepee hoax.
They made up a whole bunch of things.
You know, I ran for office three times and I have said to people thinking about running and candidates, if you feel like you're being set up with a question like that, which Governor DeSantis was being set up, just refuse to answer the question because the premise is nonsense.
Don't fall into their trap.
That's the classic.
When did you stop beating your wife scenario?
I don't beat my wife.
What's the headline?
Ron DeSantis.
I don't beat my wife.
That's what they want.
Don't accept the premise of the question.
He's becoming a master at fighting back, a Jedi knight at fighting back against media lunacy, and they're just not smart enough to engage in intellectual warfare with him.
All right, you may say, well, we all love Ron DeSantis.
How is he not the hero of the day?
Well, I think when you see this video, you'll understand why.
This may get you a little choked up.
This is one of those moments, I'm not crying, you're crying.
I saw this making its rounds on social media yesterday.
This is Master Sergeant Michael Fisher.
A Marine saluting his son, who I'm guessing from the video just graduated from Officer Candidate School.
He's saluting his son.
Folks, the audio is powerful enough.
You hear some babies and stuff in the back.
There's other people in the room.
But I strongly encourage you to watch the video, too.
You can check it out.
Rumble.com slash Bongino.
You can rush to the end of the show if you want.
But if you want to feel good about America and why in the end I think we're going to get out of this intellectual self-destructive morass we're in now.
It's because of people and moments like this.
I've watched you grow and mature and become the mayor that you are today.
You have always been respectful by saying yes, sir.
No, sir.
Yes, ma'am.
And no, ma'am.
Salute.
Is a sign of respect.
[BLANK_AUDIO]
It is a privilege to render you your first salute.
But it is a greater honor to say congratulations, sir,
on your commissioning.
Okay, it's hard to watch for me.
For all the right reasons, not the wrong ones.
That's just tough.
That's when I was like, I'm not crying, you're crying!
Because of heroes like that, Master Sergeant Michael Fisher and his son will always come out of the other side of this.
God put his hand on this country's right shoulder a long time ago and said, there's going to be good times and bad times, but I'll always usher you out the other side.
But it's because of people like that, that this country is so great and so wonderful.
And I don't believe it will be destroyed from the inside.
Amazing video.
Please watch it.
The video, the audio is great, but the video is, is, is just powerful to watch this man salute his son.
And I hear that, I mean, a tough, hardened Marine.
Are anyone tougher than Marines?
Anyone?
I don't think so.
Watch his voice crack at the end as he's saluting his son.
It's just amazing.
All right, folks.
Thanks again for tuning in.
I really appreciate it.
I've asked every day.
I'll ask again.
We're doing a new terrestrial radio show launching around the country on radio stations everywhere from 12 noon Eastern to 3p daily.
If you'd like to hear the show on your local station, you can tweet to them, parlay to them, send a message to their Facebook account, call them, email them.
It matters.
If you want to hear the show, just ask your local radio station if they're going to be running the Dan Bongino show.
We'd appreciate the support.
We'll be on a ton of stations.
We'll have that station list coming out soon at Bongino.com.
Also, please subscribe to my video version of the program here, Rumble.com slash Bongino, especially today.
You do want to see that video at the end and watch the facial expressions of Yuri Bezmenov in this warning to America.
about the cancer inside eating this country alive.
