=== People Are Starting to Come Around (07:22) ===

[00:00:00]  Dan Bongino.
[00:00:02]  Welcome to the Bongino Brief.
[00:00:03]  I'm Dan Bongino.
[00:00:05]  So, um, you know, I know we've had a lot of bad news over the last few months.
[00:00:09]  Again, I don't, I don't ever want to run from that.
[00:00:12]  I see it.
[00:00:12]  I read your emails.
[00:00:13]  People are, I think they're starting to come around a little bit.
[00:00:15]  People are ready to, you know, to get up off the mat, dust off and get back in the fight.
[00:00:19]  I understand.
[00:00:20]  Believe me.
[00:00:20]  I understand.
[00:00:21]  I get it.
[00:00:22]  I've run for office myself.
[00:00:23]  Proudly.
[00:00:24]  Didn't win.
[00:00:25]  Proud to have done it.
[00:00:26]  I don't run from it at all.
[00:00:27]  I mean, I love when liberals say, you ran for office and lost.
[00:00:30]  I'm like, really?
[00:00:31]  You didn't have the guts to do any of that.
[00:00:33]  So what are you doing?
[00:00:34]  You sat in the ring and screamed from the sidelines throwing popcorn.
[00:00:37]  I'm proud to have done it.
[00:00:39]  But losing stinks.
[00:00:40]  I know.
[00:00:40]  Believe me, I've been there.
[00:00:41]  It's horrible.
[00:00:44]  I mean, in the 2020 election, given what happened with all the election changes, people are obviously ticked off.
[00:00:50]  A lot of people feel like, losing, that's all BS.
[00:00:56]  I get it.
[00:00:57]  I get why you're upset.
[00:00:58]  But we are going to have to fight.
[00:01:01]  We can't learn to be helpless, like Seligman's experiments.
[00:01:05]  We can't do that.
[00:01:07]  So here's some good news.
[00:01:10]  People have had enough.
[00:01:11]  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.
[00:01:26]  They're tired of it.
[00:01:28]  And it goes back to my beach ball hypothesis.
[00:01:31]  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.
[00:01:41]  You can't keep people under lockdown forever.
[00:01:44]  You can't.
[00:01:45]  You want to wear a mask, do your thing.
[00:01:47]  Really, I have no problem.
[00:01:49]  I'm a freedom lover, unlike liberals.
[00:01:51]  If you choose to wear a mask, the deuce, the double mask, the trifecta, the three masks, go ahead.
[00:01:58]  Knock yourself out.
[00:01:59]  Have a good time.
[00:02:02]  I actually believe in freedom.
[00:02:04]  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.
[00:02:14]  You saw that woman pass out at that track meet wearing a mask while running a race.
[00:02:18]  How ridiculous is that?
[00:02:19]  It's insane.
[00:02:20]  And parents have had enough.
[00:02:21]  You doubt me?
[00:02:22]  Let's play video number one.
[00:02:23]  Here is an absolute revolt.
[00:02:25]  You may have seen this in Arizona at a school board meeting.
[00:02:29]  This was about, I don't know, two weeks ago.
[00:02:32]  The school board meeting.
[00:02:33]  The parents had had enough.
[00:02:34]  They vote out the whole school board.
[00:02:36]  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.
[00:02:43]  Check this video out.
[00:02:44]  Our radio listeners, you can listen to it.
[00:02:45]  This is really good.
[00:02:46]  Check this out.
[00:02:49]  fight if they don't quit we're hearing they've all quit.
[00:02:56]  That's four. We didn't vote on you.
[00:02:56]  We didn't vote on you. Hey, we already had somebody here.
[00:03:06]  Okay, so she has to be nominated.
[00:03:13]  Seconded. Okay. All in favor of Tiffany. Aye. Opposed. Aye.
[00:03:20]  [BLANK_AUDIO]
[00:03:21]  Alright, full name?
[00:03:22]  Tiffany Sanders.
[00:03:23]  Alright, so that's five.
[00:03:25]  They've all been elected based on a Robert's Rules of Order?
[00:03:28]  You know, folks, one of the guys I've been reading, one of the authors, you've probably heard of him, Jordan Peterson.
[00:03:33]  I like a lot of his work.
[00:03:35]  Don't agree with everything, but I like a lot of Jordan Peterson.
[00:03:37]  He's been through a lot of personal struggles.
[00:03:39]  And Jordan Peterson talks about this thing, and I don't think he's talking about politics, but I am.
[00:03:42]  He mentions this concept of, you know, if you really want to change the world, we have to make our own beds first.
[00:03:48]  I've argued to you repeatedly that the do matters, action matters, doing matters.
[00:03:51]  Talk is cheap.
[00:03:52]  It's great.
[00:03:53]  Talk is great because it motivates the do.
[00:03:55]  But if you hear talk and you give speeches and you don't do stuff, nothing else is going to have the do matter.
[00:03:59]  You have to do something.
[00:04:01]  That something doesn't have to be one fell swoop, change the world tomorrow.
[00:04:05]  To change the world, we should make our own beds first.
[00:04:08]  I take that to mean, he doesn't get very political, but I do.
[00:04:12]  You want to fix this?
[00:04:14]  We got to start working on our own towns first and then expand out.
[00:04:18]  These people in Arizona had enough.
[00:04:20]  All school board out.
[00:04:21]  Goodbye.
[00:04:22]  See you later.
[00:04:22]  New one sworn in right away.
[00:04:25]  Here's a situation from Utah.
[00:04:27]  I think it happened last night or the night before.
[00:04:29]  They had another school board meeting in Utah.
[00:04:31]  Well, they wanted to diaper face up the kids too.
[00:04:34]  Parents had about enough of that one.
[00:04:37]  Here's what happened in Utah after that one.
[00:04:39]  Check this out.
[00:04:42]  All right, we're actually going to close.
[00:04:43]  You haven't signed up, ma'am.
[00:04:45]  We're going to close.
[00:04:46]  You let a senator come up here and speak in the name of my children who you guys are abusing?
[00:04:53]  Are you serious?
[00:04:55]  You broke my heart!
[00:04:57]  You broke my face!
[00:04:59]  You broke my heart!
[00:05:01]  You broke my face!
[00:05:03]  I am counting!
[00:05:04]  We're going to follow.
[00:05:07]  We've had our citizen participation.
[00:05:09]  We're going to follow.
[00:05:11]  We've had that.
[00:05:13]  [Chanting]
[00:05:15]  We told you.
[00:05:17]  We've never just gained.
[00:05:19]  We've never just gained.
[00:05:21]  [Chanting]
[00:05:23]  No more gas!
[00:05:25]  No more gas!
[00:05:27]  Splendor!
[00:05:27]  I move that we adjourn this meeting.
[00:05:30]  I vote yes!
[00:05:32]  I vote yes!
[00:05:36]  It begins.
[00:05:38]  But it always begins locally.
[00:05:41]  Sometimes we gotta make our own beds first in our own room.
[00:05:45]  It's happening.
[00:05:47]  I don't want you to wake up every morning depressed that the world is gonna burn.
[00:05:51]  Listen, it may.
[00:05:54]  It may.
[00:05:55]  Things are bad.
[00:05:56]  But it may not.
[00:05:58]  And there's a pretty good chance it may not.
[00:06:02]  And it may not because people are making their own beds in their own room and cleaning up their towns.
[00:06:08]  Well, that's not it.
[00:06:09]  There's another one.
[00:06:10]  You may have missed this story in South Lake, Texas.
[00:06:13]  This is from a couple weeks ago.
[00:06:15]  New York Post.
[00:06:16]  Opponents of critical race theory.
[00:06:18]  I'm just going to start calling it critical racism theory because it's racist.
[00:06:21]  Opponents of critical racism theory win Texas school board election.
[00:06:25]  This is from South Lake, Texas.
[00:06:27]  Where they booted every one of these critical racism theory supporters out and voted in new people.
[00:06:35]  That promote equality.
[00:06:37]  Judging people by their character.
[00:06:39]  Things we used to all believe in.
[00:06:43]  Folks, there are good things happening.
[00:06:46]  And the best way to get good things to happen is to make our own beds locally first.
[00:06:50]  Doesn't mean we can't fight the national stuff.
[00:06:53]  I just covered a big huge international issue with George Soros.
[00:06:56]  We can keep the heat on.
[00:06:59]  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.
