	Dan Bongino.
	Welcome to the Bongino Brief.
	I'm Dan Bongino.
	So, um, you know, I know we've had a lot of bad news over the last few months.
	Again, I don't, I don't ever want to run from that.
	I see it.
	I read your emails.
	People are, I think they're starting to come around a little bit.
	People are ready to, you know, to get up off the mat, dust off and get back in the fight.
	I understand.
	Believe me.
	I understand.
	I get it.
	I've run for office myself.
	Proudly.
	Didn't win.
	Proud to have done it.
	I don't run from it at all.
	I mean, I love when liberals say, you ran for office and lost.
	I'm like, really?
	You didn't have the guts to do any of that.
	So what are you doing?
	You sat in the ring and screamed from the sidelines throwing popcorn.
	I'm proud to have done it.
	But losing stinks.
	I know.
	Believe me, I've been there.
	It's horrible.
	I mean, in the 2020 election, given what happened with all the election changes, people are obviously ticked off.
	A lot of people feel like, losing, that's all BS.
	I get it.
	I get why you're upset.
	But we are going to have to fight.
	We can't learn to be helpless, like Seligman's experiments.
	We can't do that.
	So here's some good news.
	People have had enough.
	Especially parents who are getting awfully tired of sending kindergartners to school with a face diaper on their face that does absolutely nothing to prevent those kids from contacting or contracting this coronavirus.
	They're tired of it.
	And it goes back to my beach ball hypothesis.
	That the longer you try to push the beach ball underwater, your arms eventually get tired and the beach ball eventually explodes through the surface.
	You can't keep people under lockdown forever.
	You can't.
	You want to wear a mask, do your thing.
	Really, I have no problem.
	I'm a freedom lover, unlike liberals.
	If you choose to wear a mask, the deuce, the double mask, the trifecta, the three masks, go ahead.
	Knock yourself out.
	Have a good time.
	I actually believe in freedom.
	But demanding kids with very little evidence that this infection spreads among you wear these masks all day in school, which interrupts their breathing patterns.
	You saw that woman pass out at that track meet wearing a mask while running a race.
	How ridiculous is that?
	It's insane.
	And parents have had enough.
	You doubt me?
	Let's play video number one.
	Here is an absolute revolt.
	You may have seen this in Arizona at a school board meeting.
	This was about, I don't know, two weeks ago.
	The school board meeting.
	The parents had had enough.
	They vote out the whole school board.
	The school board resigns en masse and they swear in a new school board right away who are done with this whole mask mandate with kids.
	Check this video out.
	Our radio listeners, you can listen to it.
	This is really good.
	Check this out.
	fight if they don't quit we're hearing they've all quit.
	That's four. We didn't vote on you.
	We didn't vote on you. Hey, we already had somebody here.
	Okay, so she has to be nominated.
	Seconded. Okay. All in favor of Tiffany. Aye. Opposed. Aye.
	[BLANK_AUDIO]
	Alright, full name?
	Tiffany Sanders.
	Alright, so that's five.
	They've all been elected based on a Robert's Rules of Order?
	You know, folks, one of the guys I've been reading, one of the authors, you've probably heard of him, Jordan Peterson.
	I like a lot of his work.
	Don't agree with everything, but I like a lot of Jordan Peterson.
	He's been through a lot of personal struggles.
	And Jordan Peterson talks about this thing, and I don't think he's talking about politics, but I am.
	He mentions this concept of, you know, if you really want to change the world, we have to make our own beds first.
	I've argued to you repeatedly that the do matters, action matters, doing matters.
	Talk is cheap.
	It's great.
	Talk is great because it motivates the do.
	But if you hear talk and you give speeches and you don't do stuff, nothing else is going to have the do matter.
	You have to do something.
	That something doesn't have to be one fell swoop, change the world tomorrow.
	To change the world, we should make our own beds first.
	I take that to mean, he doesn't get very political, but I do.
	You want to fix this?
	We got to start working on our own towns first and then expand out.
	These people in Arizona had enough.
	All school board out.
	Goodbye.
	See you later.
	New one sworn in right away.
	Here's a situation from Utah.
	I think it happened last night or the night before.
	They had another school board meeting in Utah.
	Well, they wanted to diaper face up the kids too.
	Parents had about enough of that one.
	Here's what happened in Utah after that one.
	Check this out.
	All right, we're actually going to close.
	You haven't signed up, ma'am.
	We're going to close.
	You let a senator come up here and speak in the name of my children who you guys are abusing?
	Are you serious?
	You broke my heart!
	You broke my face!
	You broke my heart!
	You broke my face!
	I am counting!
	We're going to follow.
	We've had our citizen participation.
	We're going to follow.
	We've had that.
	[Chanting]
	We told you.
	We've never just gained.
	We've never just gained.
	[Chanting]
	No more gas!
	No more gas!
	Splendor!
	I move that we adjourn this meeting.
	I vote yes!
	I vote yes!
	It begins.
	But it always begins locally.
	Sometimes we gotta make our own beds first in our own room.
	It's happening.
	I don't want you to wake up every morning depressed that the world is gonna burn.
	Listen, it may.
	It may.
	Things are bad.
	But it may not.
	And there's a pretty good chance it may not.
	And it may not because people are making their own beds in their own room and cleaning up their towns.
	Well, that's not it.
	There's another one.
	You may have missed this story in South Lake, Texas.
	This is from a couple weeks ago.
	New York Post.
	Opponents of critical race theory.
	I'm just going to start calling it critical racism theory because it's racist.
	Opponents of critical racism theory win Texas school board election.
	This is from South Lake, Texas.
	Where they booted every one of these critical racism theory supporters out and voted in new people.
	That promote equality.
	Judging people by their character.
	Things we used to all believe in.
	Folks, there are good things happening.
	And the best way to get good things to happen is to make our own beds locally first.
	Doesn't mean we can't fight the national stuff.
	I just covered a big huge international issue with George Soros.
	We can keep the heat on.
	But with people like Ron DeSantis and this growing crop of young leaders now being energized and marshaled together to fight this common cause against coronavirus-induced tyranny, critical racism theory, we're energizing another generation of leaders right now that's gonna make for a solid bench for the conservative movement in the future.
