Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show.
Citizen265 in the chat says, 10 air squats.
Yes, yes, before every show.
Got to get your 100 air squats in a day.
It's good for your brain, good for your body.
Get them in a day if you can't walk your 10,000 steps.
Not a biohacking show.
However, what's the number one rule of the Dan Bongino show?
Don't get dead.
I don't want to get dead.
And one of the best ways to not get dead, there's the guys on queue doing their 10 air squats.
There's Andrew, everybody developing the quads.
Very good.
Good job, fellas.
Everybody do it.
Look, we all got to live a little bit.
We're going to try to live our best lives.
That's the way to do it.
Hey, I got a big show for you today, including a late addition to the show.
Obama deep stater Susan Rice having an absolute meltdown now that the Trump administration is cracking down on the absurd amount of public corruption that happened when they weaponized government against him.
Sorry, Sue.
I'm sorry about that, that the law is back and you're upset about it.
But folks, make no mistake, what this lady said, you should take very seriously.
I'll play that.
Also, a tweet last night.
And no, it's not a distraction, Trump's tweet about alien life.
It's not a distraction.
He didn't even bring it up.
Obama brought it up.
What do you think?
Obama and Trump are colluding together for some distraction.
That doesn't even make any sense.
I'll get into that and I'll just cover briefly what I got the other day.
I got a ton of stuff to talk about, including the great one, Mark Levin, coming on today.
It's a great new podcast on Rumble.
Rumble.com/slash Mark Levin show.

We'll talk to him about that later.

Our next sponsor today, Bone Charge, B-O-N, C-H-R-G-E.
When I moved to CIDC, one of the first things I asked to have with me was the red light therapy blanket from Bone Charge.
Why?
Because folks, I have really brutal arthritis, not a sob story.
Everybody's got their issues.
The only thing and the only thing that helps me not limp around all day with my bad knees is my red light therapy from Bone Charge.
You know, I'm a big biohacker.
I love it.
Just talked about it in the beginning of the show.
This is my go-to for all my life hack biohack devices.

Files Out There00:16:03
These statements and products have not been evaluated by the FDA.
They're not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
All right, fellas, let's go.
So, first, right out of the chute, I see this pop up.
You know, we have the timeline cleanse videos.
This is not a timeline cleanse.
This is a timeline sanitation pipe.
Here is Susan Rice, Obama deep stater.
I mean, really, a woman who could not have done more destruction to the Republic.
Here she is out there advertising that if or when the Democrats take back power, that they're basically going to weaponize government again, go after corporations and others, and that this, well, I'm on you to listen to her, but the part where she addresses how we broke the rules or something, and what is she talking about?
The people we went after in the Trump administration, some of those cases pre-existed our time there, and some of the other cases were because laws were broken, not because we had to rewrite anything.
Check this out.
Have had a belly full.
And we're not going to play by, you know, the old set of rules when these guys are playing by a very different set of rules.
We're going to play by the law, but that's, we're not going to violate the law the way they do, but we're not going to be suckers.
And so I think, you know, whether you're a law firm, whether you're a university, whether you're a media entity, whether you're a big corporation, whether you're big tech, you need to play a long game, not this short game that has been so detrimental.
There will be an accountability agenda.
Companies already are starting to hear they better preserve their documents.
They better be ready for subpoenas.
If they've done something wrong, they'll be held accountable.
And if they haven't broken the law, good for them.
If they've done the right things, good for them.
That also will be noted and remembered.
But this is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget.
The damage that these people are doing is too severe to the American people and to our national interest.
One, I don't even know what she's talking about.
That there was some implying there was what, some violation of the law in the public corruption portfolio during the first year of the Trump administration.
What law was violated?
Bolton was indicted according to a normal judicial legal process.
Comey was indicted.
It wasn't some foreign court on Mars.
The Florida congresswoman, the New Orleans mayor, Gavin Newsom's chief of staff.
These were all cases that follow normal process.
Some of them even predated our time there.
I don't know what she's even talking about.
I love how they break the law.
We go and enforce the law.
And then they say, when we get in office, we're going to punish you for enforcing the law.
These people should scare the shit out of you, man.
What?
She's upset about us exposing Arctic Frost.
That's what their administration did.
She doesn't like the South Florida grand jury.
There's a grand jury process.
This is all legal.
It's not the stuff you guys did.
Her threatening corporations, folks, listen, I can't address this enough.
I get this all the time.
I get this question from everyone, members of Congress and others.
How do you feel about the reforms that were instituted?
Do you feel comfortable going forward?
I answer the same way every time.
And I'll answer it on the show.
And I don't mean to panic anyone.
I just mean to state the fairly obvious.
I'm never comfortable when it comes to men governing other men.
I mean, men in general.
Never comfortable.
And you shouldn't be either.
Because, folks, people are policy.
Policies only matter if people follow them, as we saw with Crossfire Hurricane.
Where do you think that whole case came from?
Clearly, policies weren't followed.
Once other people get vote wisely, man, because when these lunatics get back in charge, if you're a corporation, you can just expect them to make the process punishment, to punish anyone who did the right thing and followed the law.
Folks, listen, this is a representative democracy.
As a friend of mine once said, a very powerful person in the movement, she said to me once, you know, we're the leaders we've been waiting for.
People say, oh, you can't vote your way out of it.
Yes, you actually can if you just got to vote for the right people.
And Donald Trump was the right person.
And now she's all pissed off.
She's pissed off because the government was de-weaponized and they want to re-weaponize it.
And now she's out there going, hey, look what's going to happen when we re-weaponize it.
They're not even hiding it anymore.
Policies only matter if people follow them.
You think these people, the Susan Rices of the world, the Comeys and others, you think they have any interest in following policy?
Folks, this midterm election, this midterm election is going to be critical.
I know, I know.
It's the most critical election of our lifetime.
You say that every time because everyone is, because these are the lunatics we're dealing with now.
They've already wiped out the guardrails.
They're just pissed off we put them back in place.
All right, I got a lot to get to in the beginning of the show.
It's going to be like a lightning round in the beginning.
So if you saw my appearance on Sean Hannity's show a couple of weeks ago, the Guthrie case had come up, and I had mentioned that, you know, a lot of people were not happy that the signal sniffer technology got out.
A lot of people at the FBI were really unhappy with that.
As you can see, I'm glad the president chimed in on this.
I'm telling you, like this president, I know the liberals like to paint them as some out-of-touch guy.
You're so full of shit.
You have no idea.
He wants to know what's going on.
He doesn't micromanage.
He lets you implement your plan and strategy, but he's knee-deep in stuff that's important.
President Trump criticizes investigators for revealing the sniffer technology.
You may have heard me say that the other day.
We don't need all this stuff out there, man.
You really didn't have to get that out there.
Some of this stuff is only useful if people don't know we're using it.
Frustrating.
However, like I said, lightning rings, I had to add this stuff quick in the beginning of the show.
This came out yesterday, too.
And there's a, again, there's always counter programming allegedly from our side that goes out about the president's agenda.
You've seen it.
You may wonder why I don't highlight it more because of the Streisan effect.
This stuff doesn't need an airlift.
Everything President Trump says, I'm not talking about the liberals.
They're just absolute lunatics and hate his guts.
Forget them for a minute.
There is a counterprogramming movement pretending to be on our side that every single thing President Trump says, they've got an alternate counter message for you.
Come on, you've seen it.
Border crossings are down to zero.
Illegal migrants went zero.
Why can't it be negative 10?
Inflation's down to 2.4.
Should be 2.2.
Job numbers are down to 203.
Should be 200.
There's a counter program for everything as if there's some utopia out there.
I'm not telling you again, accountability is accountability is everything.
I'm just talking about your inputs have to be realistic.
The guy's been in office a year.
There's a counter programming message for everything.
I only bring it up because Obama goes on a podcast and brings up this alien life thing with, I don't know whose podcast he was on, but I played it the other day.
I'm not going to spend a whole segment on it.
And says, you know, makes a quip about aliens, whatever, and it goes nuclear.
And President Trump responded to it yesterday.
So there's a bunch of people out there.
Oh my gosh, he's distracting from Epstein and all this other stuff.
He didn't bring it up.
Do you think he's colluding with Obama for his own counter programming?
So they put out this, this is a tweet from the White House, because they realize that this probably is a distraction.
He's trying to make it the anti-distraction.
Quote, based on tremendous interest shown, I will be directing, I being President Trump, the Secretary of War, and other departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomenon, and unidentified flying objects.
President Donald J. Trump.
Folks, I'm just asking again to the people out there who buy into this constant counter programming bullshit.
If this was a distraction, why is he putting this thing out going, we're going to take this off the plate now and just going to let you see it?
Why would he be doing that?
He's colluding with Obama?
That doesn't even make any sense.
This is the transparency president.
All of this stuff that's out there, JFK and all that other stuff, is out there because of him.
No one else did it.
Nobody else.
The files are out there because of him.
I'm going to get to that in a second.
How now all of a sudden that they're out there, you see people who were attacking the administration's approach to it before, which was long and messy.
Nobody's disputing that.
Period.
We get it.
Everybody understands.
They're out there now.
Now, all of a sudden, you see people changing their tune.
You may have seen it on the view yesterday with those absolute dipshits over there, completely now doing a total 180 on the whole Epstein situation.
However, I'll just repeat what I said about UAP's unidentified aerial phenomenon without, you know, speaking inappropriately.
I'm going to let the president, who knows far more than anyone, handle it in his way.
It is not my job or business to go out there and try to front run an administration that was kind enough to allow me to do my job.
I will just say this.
Again, a lot of what you see on the internet and on social media, not all.
I want to be clear on this.
And I know it's going to, you know, a lot of people get upset no matter what you say about UAPs, unidentified flying objects, others.
It's fine.
A lot of what you see is very easily explainable when you take into account parallax and imaging equipment.
It's very easily explained.
A lot of it, not all of it.
Most of what you see on there, you go, this doesn't look at that.
A lot of it's just debris and it's not moving like you think it's moving.
Look up the parallax effect and you'll see exactly what I mean.
And when you see the vectors and the math, you'll see how a lot of it is pretty easily explainable.
Not all of it, but some of it.
So the president will handle that in his time.
But it's not a distraction, folks.
He's handling, he's cleaning up Obama's mess is what he's doing.
He's not working with Obama to distract you.
Here's what I mean about the Epstein files.
Here's a side-by-side with the view.
Who is this?
Western Lensman Geek?
Great account.
Western Lensman.
There's some great videos over there if you want to do some show prep in the industry of them, Maze Moore, Grabian, Tom Elliott, really good accounts.
For those of you in the podcast space, if not, there are always good accounts to follow to get some great videos just for your own personal edutainment.
But here's a side-by-side of the view on the Epstein files until it turned out Whoopi Goldberg was in the Epstein file.
Now they're all concerned about, oh my gosh, innocent people getting roped into this.
I didn't hear that argument before.
Check this out.
Bottom line is this.
Release the damn files and release them now.
Release everything.
If this does not implicate Donald Trump, why wouldn't you say release everything?
They absolutely have to show us what they're all hiding.
If there is nothing to hide, release it all.
But all of that information is out there.
Why not just put it to rest and say, release the listeners?
Because, you know, they should just say, listen, this is what it is.
Do you want to offer your G2?
It looks like they said no thanks.
Well, in other words, anybody can be on this.
Well, this is my point because I'm telling you, when I tell you people are trying to turn me into, I wasn't his girlfriend.
You used to have to have facts before you said stuff.
But Trump is on the list 38,000 times.
Well, I can't speak to him, but I'm speaking about me because I'm getting dragged.
People actually believe that I was with him.
He dropped like 300 names and it's like flood the zone because when you're looking, there are people like Marilyn Monroe, who's dead.
Yeah, a lot of people, because a lot of the reasons your name can be mentioned are news articles, third-party emails, contacts.
Again, wealthy, famous people often cross in professional and social circles.
So that's not the surprising part.
Holy Moses, are these people for real?
The only person I think who's been completely, totally indemnified in the court of public opinion, this is Donald Trump.
You were warned about all this in advance.
6E material and other stuff, grand jury material.
And nobody gave a shit then because they thought, I told you, all they want to do is hang a black cloud over Donald Trump.
And now that the black cloud has dissipated, now they're all pissed off.
By the way, Lynn and Jeff in the chat, thanks for the explanation, Dan, talking about the UAP stuff.
Yes, look up Parallax.
Look up Parallax and you'll see what I mean.
And you'll see why a lot of these things appear to be moving really fast.
You'll see exactly what it means.
So you're very welcome.
And I'll let President Trump handle the rest on that.
I got Mark Levin coming up later.
And one of the things I want to address with him, folks, this is the most important legislative issue of our time, the filibuster.
The Democrats are going to bust the filibuster and they are going to jam down our throats a parade of horribles like you've never seen.
I'm talking about this now because you just saw the video of Susan Rice.
Susan Rice is a symptom of a larger Democrat disease.
We used to have more centrist, mainstream, kind of Bill Clinton-type Democrats.
I'm talking about outside all the scandals and other crap.
The policy, I mean, he gave the speech at the State of the Union saying the era of big government is over.
Bill Clinton, I'm not celebrating Bill Clinton, especially after his latest debacle.
However, I'm just telling you that the Democrat Party used to find some kind of agreement with mainstream America in the middle.
This whole push towards trans and all this other stuff and open borders, folks, go look at the data.
This is about 20, 25 years old.
They didn't always push for this stuff.
Hell, there are speeches about Obama out there talking about how, you know, we got to like, you know, do something about illegal immigration, all this crap, Schumer, all this tumor about ID.
25 years ago or so, maybe in that range, they started going absolutely crazy and let the culture be hijacked, their party culture, by a bunch of freaking lunatics.
I'm telling you this because the Susan Rice's run the party right now.
And when they get back into power, which is going to happen, they are going to kick you right in the freaking balls.
Get ready for the ICPACAC gallon of it down your throat.
You can't throw it up quick enough.
They are going to bust this filibuster and jam down your throat.
I saw this tweet out there.
It was retweeted by a couple of friends of mine.
What's the account?
It's like C3 underscore, no, C underscore 3 C underscore 3.
Just go to C3.
It's a verified account.
He says, follow along.
Or she, I don't really know.
Sorry.
Follow along.
Dems cheat in next elections without the SAVE Act to get power.
Dems nuke the filibuster.
Dems pack the courts.
Dems give amnesty to 30 plus million illegals.
Dems open the border.
Dems censor and crush enemies.
Dems turn the United States into one-party country forever.
Dems kill the United States.
Simple.
Dems Nuke the Filibuster00:10:30
That's what I'm afraid of.
This is precisely what I'm afraid of.
The lunatics are going to be running the asylum.
The Susan Rice is of the world.
That's why I opened the show with this.
They're talking all notice what she said opening that, the Obama deep stater.
Notice what she said.
She's mad about the anti-corruption efforts and bringing back the rule of law to the country.
So her solution isn't to say, hey, we need to get back to some equilibrium where the rule of law is balanced on both sides.
Her solution is we're going to go right back to weaponizing the government.
It's against corporations and anyone else, anyone else who enforced the law against people who were in of my yoke, who broke the law.
That's their first impulse is what?
Revenge.
That's their first impulse is revenge.
That is all they can think about right now.
They hate Trump so much.
TDS is real, man.
And there's no medication for it.
All they can think about right now is revenge.
Thank you, Guy.
It's the whole counter-irritation policy too.
Put a warm, you know, anti-pain ointment, like a Benguer on the joint, and it heats up the skin, which distracts you from the pain.
That's what they do.
They accuse Trump and the counter-irritation policy.
Trump wants revenge.
There's nothing to do with revenge.
People broke the law.
Some of the cases were open before we even got in there.
We just finished them off.
They accused Trump of exactly what they did.
Folks, the lunatics are going to be running the asylum.
Ignorance, too, is an asset to them.
This is what worries me.
You know, I hate celebrity bullshit.
However, I want to prove to you that there's not going to be a populist movement to wrestle the Democrat Party back to sanity.
We have seen populist movements, the Tea Party movement, the MAGA movement, wrestle the Republican Party away from some of the stupidity we had gotten into.
We've seen it.
The Democrats have no such movement.
The populist movement is lurching them into a cesspool of stupid.
People love that the voting electorate right now that has the power in the Democrat Party is increasingly deranged.
You see it.
Like, here's this.
You remember Woody Harrelson from Cheers and White Men Can't Jump?
I wonder if that's like racist in their PC culture, whatever it is.
Here's Woody Harrelson losing his mind.
Trump's the son of a bee.
How do we get rid of this guy?
They love this stuff.
There is never going to be an effort until there's a mass revolt on the Democrat side to pull the party back to Senate.
They love this shit.
Check this out.
We have a guy running this country who has unearthed a lot of bigotry and a lot of racism, and it seems to be more virulent than ever.
So yeah, it's strange how we just, it seems like we're going backward.
And yeah, I wish that there were a way to feel for the Democrats for Labor.
I wish there were a way to get rid of that son of a and get in a great president, you know, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
And I don't know how much he's going to continue to foment hatred.
Folks, the Democrat Party, please tattoo this on your brain.
Really important.
They are a party now that's all about the feels.
Remember me talking about this yesterday, Andrew?
The feels.
Everything is the feels.
Mamdami, oh, he gives us the feels.
You know what?
He also gives you piles of garbage and snow that can't get cleaned up two weeks later in New York City as if it's the first freaking time they've ever had a snowstorm.
You know what you're about to feel in New York with this freaking lunatic?
A 10% property tax hike that's going to bankrupt you, your landlord, and everyone else is going to bury the middle class in New York City.
That's the feels.
Bend over and feel it because it's, oh yeah, you're going to feel it, man.
Good and hard, you're going to feel it.
They're all the feels.
Ignorance is an asset to them.
They love stupid, uninformed people like Momdami, AOC.
That's where all the energy is.
There's going to be no saving these people from the Susan Rice's of the world.
Better damn well turn.
I, folks, this is like a really important, super passionate thing for me.
I know there's a lot of back and forth in the party right now.
I understand.
Some healthy, some not.
The constant counter programming is not healthy.
Most of it's not realistic.
But a healthy back and forth, I understand.
I'm not everybody's cup of tea.
It's okay.
I have my audience.
I love my audience.
I love my show.
It may not be for you.
That's okay.
That's okay.
That's fine.
There are other shows out there.
Even if you hate my guts, hate my guts completely.
Fair.
Don't take it out on the party in November.
I'm not telling you, again, the Republicans are the solution to all your problems.
I'm not.
I'm just telling you, we live in a world of level 10 decisions where there's a shitty call and a shittier call.
Yes, the shitty call is going to be to have to support some weak-needed Republicans who may not get the job done.
The problem is the shittier call is not doing it and getting a Democrat in there is going to impeach President Trump.
That's it, folks.
I'm sorry to deliver a lot of bad news in a complicated world.
But there's a number of podcasters, political leaders, and other people out there.
Some people hate them.
Some people love him.
We got to put that aside and save the Republic.
These people are crazy.
They are going to come after you.
Susan Rice is talking about it right now.
They are going to come after you.
Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
I may like some candidate and the governor's race of Florida or a Senate race in Texas.
You may like another one.
That's fine.
That's fine.
Just please do not sit it out.
And please, God, and I'm not using his name in vain.
Do not support these Democrats who are already threatening to undo all the anti-public corruption efforts we put in place.
They're going to go right back to weaponizing this place.
And Susan Rice was very specific.
Corporations, free American citizens, these are your companies.
We're coming for you, too.
She's not kidding.
We've got to put this stuff aside.
And if you're expecting a reckoning anytime soon, you're not going to get it.
They're sensing Trump's polling numbers, by the way, are actually pretty good right now, despite what they're telling you.
You saw the approval rating poll we put out the other day, approaching 50% for Donald Trump.
And they're realizing now that a lot of their attacks, racist, Hitler, fascist, fascist, Hitler, racist, it just, you know, juggle the order, doesn't matter.
They're realizing now that that's not working.
So what are they doing?
Then they go to Epstein.
They think Epstein's going to stick.
If Epstein doesn't stick, they're going to go to Trump as the affordability crisis president, even though inflation's gone down.
Remember when inflation was 2.5% under Biden, the Washington Post celebrated?
2.4% under Trump?
They're like, oh, man, he's got to do better.
He did do better than your guy.
The safest America in American history last year.
That's just a fact.
The Washington Post, oh, I don't know what did it.
I don't know what did.
It must have been Biden.
Here's what I'm talking about.
By the way, the ignorance is an asset to them.
They love stupid.
Here's Nicole Wallace, who I don't know what her grading of the shirt is today.
It's just a black shirt.
She loves it.
I'm sure it'll be a topic of her show on MSNOW tonight.
Freaking French fries.
I'm serious.
Like, really, get a hold of your eating habits.
Here's J.B. Pritzker.
I'm, hey, man, I don't know.
I never heard anybody call Trump like a Hitler, Hitler, a racist, fascist.
Really?
Really?
Let's see what the receipts say.
Check this out.
Suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler.
I wouldn't say that.
I don't think any Democrat has.
What is the natural extension, Justin, if he pursues this to Harvard and beyond?
There was an authoritarian leader several decades back told Adolf Hitler.
The military surviving that climate.
In the same way that it happened in Russia with Stalin, the same way it happened with Hitler, eventually you get generals and admirals that are in there that only tell the leader what he or she wants to hear.
If you look back in history, you can see very similar parallels taking place that took place in other countries that really went down that authoritarian road, including in pre-World War II Nazi Germany, when Hitler.
When Trump talks about peace and Putin talks about peace, it's autocrats getting their way.
That's it.
And Mussolini and Hitler said they were being the purveyors of peace.
I resisted for a long time analogies to Hitler's Germany.
I've got in my sub stack today, though, that it's really uncanny.
The same episode where Hitler, early in his tenure, before he's totally taken over the government, some local prosecutors go after his brown shirts and they convict them, send them, and then he releases them.
It's really the same thing.
Hat tip, Tom Elliott, Graby, and over that goes on and on forever.
Knowledge is only power on one side of the political aisle, and as sure as shit ain't theirs.
Trump's approval rating is driving them nuts.
That's why they're trying to move on from this temporarily.
They'll go right back to it if they think it makes a dent.
I'm going to do a Trump timeline cleanse in a second.
Did you see what happened down in Trump's visit to Georgia when he popped into the burger joint?
Does this look like a racist, fascist Hitler Trump to you?
This drives them crazy.
Why Cozy Earth Sleeps Well00:02:37

Here's President Trump yesterday.
Does this look like the racist, fascist Hitler?
I want you to pay very close attention to this.
Check this out.
Here's President Trump in a burger joint with a number of folks who happen to be black, which again doesn't matter to conservatives, but liberals seem obsessed with, look at this racist.
Oh my God.
What a, keep the still shut up.
Daddy, oh my God.
Believe this guy?
Andrew's like, I cannot believe the out.
This is just overt racism, guys.
I mean, it's just right, Josh.
This is just out there.
Look at them.
Look at the misery on their faces.
Look, dude, here he is.
He's walking in.
Look at everyone.
They're like, oh my gosh, here comes racist fascist Hitler.
Look at, oh, can we get a selfie with you?
Racist, fascist Hitler.
Look at, oh my gosh, look at the frown.
Oh, that's not a friend.
Oh, look, they're smiling.
Look at this lovely lady up front.
Look at that gentleman right there.
It's interesting.
The only white guys I see in a picture look like staff and secret service.
A credible.
Incredible.
What a racist this guy.
President, look at the misery on his face, folks.
If you're listening on Apple and Spotify and you're not in on the joke right now, please just check the clip out.
You go to here, go to X, go to anywhere.
Really?
Listen, pre-FBI and all that stuff, I've seen President Trump in action around people.
He is the most natural, empathetic person.
And again, I don't give a shit what liberal media people think.
They don't know the guy.
They just write about him all day.
I've never seen a guy tap into, here's the best way to describe it, just quick.
Nobody in politics I've ever seen, I've been around a lot of people, whether Secret Service or FBI or when I ran for office.
Nobody I've ever seen makes you feel like you're the most important person in the room like President Trump.
And I'm going to tell you something, it's totally authentic.
A lot of politicians, it's bullshit, but whether it's an act or not, who knows?
You'll never find out as long as he makes you feel important to this man.
Not with him.
It is totally authentic.
Did you guys ever see the clip of him and there were some military soldiers or Marines?
They were in the Rose Garden and President Trump just impromptu invites him into the Oval Office.
If you ever get to meet President Trump, he has two coins.
Okay.
He has, hey, can one of you guys go to my office and get one of the coins and one of my coins?
It's in the cup if you see it.
But when you're in government, you get these challenge coins and then the military, military started it.
You challenge someone to burn it, you put it down.
You've got to buy a drink if you don't have it.
But President Trump has a big, big challenge coin.
He has his standard presidential one and he has what they call the dark MAGA coin.
That's for like his buddies and stuff.
He brings all these Marines in and he gives them these coins.
By the way, these coins are not cheap and he buys them.
They're big coins.
I don't know how much they are, like 20, 25 bucks each.
Not that he can't, I'm just telling you, like, this is the kind of guy he is.
He is absolutely determined to make everybody feel special in that limited time they have with him because he knows that's important.
That's who President Trump is.
That's why it just pisses me off when they can't be honest about it.
You want to critique him in the liberal media?
That's your right.
Good.
Do your thing.
Fine.
But it just be open and honest.
And I'll ask Mark Levin about that later after this amazing first year.
Here's another clip I'm talking about.
Cue up the one.
He goes and meets this guy who got some lifetime achievement award for President Biden.
And the guy doesn't want President Biden's name on.
He wants Trump's.
Watch out, Trump.
He's just totally natural in these situations.
Timeline cleanse here.
Check this out.
Your Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award.
Wow, that's pretty good.
But I don't want his name on there.
So can you help me out?
He doesn't want Biden's name on his lifetime achievement award.
Mine's not an autofence.
This is.
That's an autofence.
You know, that's an autofence.
See, that's an autofence.
You want me to cross it off?
Yes, that's it right there.
That's an unoffense signature.
That's it.
You think he signed it?
He didn't sign that.
Well, President Trump signed it.
By the way, here's the dark MAGA coin.
Sorry, I put it out there.
Blends into the black shirt.
That's what he does.
He gives these amazing coins out to people.
He didn't have to do that.
Yeah, you want to zoom in on it?
There you go, Key.
Good job.
Oh, sorry.
I have it 45th, 47th.
You see.
I know.
They're totally screwing with their camera.
There you go, guys.
That's how he is.
He didn't have to do that.
He does it because he genuinely cares about people.
And I get tired of all the bullshit attacks on him.
And, you know, the crazy thing about it is, all right, you know what?
Whatever attack you don't like, his tweets, his true social posts, and you're in the liberal media, fine, but just be honest about the stats and the numbers so people can make an informed decision coming up in the midterms about what party they want to lead.
This new MAGA-led Republican Party of these lunatic Democrats, the Woody Harrelson-Mamdami Party.
So this came out yesterday.
Here's numbers, real numbers.
You want to vote on something?
Vote on this.
Jobless claims.
You don't want jobless claims high.
You want them lower because you don't want a lot of people jobless.
I'm sorry about basic math, but there are liberals listening who don't understand this.
These are actual numbers.
Here's a CNBC clip about jobless claims coming in lower.
You're going to hear about this anywhere other than the business channels and Fox and Newsmax?
No, of course not.
They're going to minimize this guy.
I don't like Trump.
He's like a racist or Hitler or something.
Check this out.
Let's start out with jobless claims, shall we?
Initial claims expected to be around 225,000, 206,000, 206,000.
That would be the smallest amount going back to the first week, second week in January when it was 199,000.
These are really low by history standards.
I thought the country was fucked.
Pardon me.
I thought we were all screwed.
I thought the apocalypse, dogs and cats, let me go, Ghostbusters style, Goeser the Goes are like a big fat marshmallow, like J.B. Prisker, you know, walking down Ocean Avenue or here, walking down Broadway.
I thought it was all falling apart.
Guys, ladies, if you are a persuadable Democrat out there watching my show and I know you're there, do you believe in numbers?
Do you believe in facts and data?
Or do you believe in liberal media ignorant bullshit?
Okay, Dan, that's just one thing.
So what?
Jobless claims are going down.
All right, maybe that's a good thing, but nothing else is happening.
Amazing.
Libs are always seething.
This is their line that they share with the counter programs.
Nothing's happening.
And then when shit happens, then they move on to another thing they say isn't happening.
And then when that happens, they go right to the next one.
Interest rates, mortgage rates.
Out of control, right?
Trump, you can't buy a house.
Really?
Rapid response.
Twitter.
Mortgage rates have now dropped to their lowest since September of 2022, according to new data from Freddie Mac.
Okay.
Well, the polls are terrible around the country, too.
Polls are ruffle.
Everybody's going to lose everything everywhere all the time.
Everything sucks.
Black clouds all over the place.
Here's CNN themselves acknowledging, you know what, the polls aren't really that terrible.
Matter of fact, some of these governor's races for the Republicans actually look pretty good.
Wait, really?
This is actual polling data?
You'll never hear this from the counterprogrammers or others.
But this guy on CNN, he busts their narrative all the time with actual numbers, and you can tell it pisses them off.
Watch him see it.
Check this out.
Governors have a whole lot of power, and there's all this talk of a Democratic wave, but the gubernatorial races nationwide should stand as a wake-up call for Democrats, a wake-up call for Democrats.
Because take a look here.
The Race Raiders, governors post-2026 election, at least tilting to the Republicans.
Look at this.
A majority, a majority, 26.
That is at this point the number of governors that are expected at least tilting towards the Republican Party at this point.
Democrats come in at just 20.
The rest of the races are toss-up.
Of course, you sum up to 50.
And I will note that the Republicans right now hold a 26 to 24 gubernatorial seat advantage.
So at this point, it doesn't look like Republicans on the net and the aggregate are actually going to lose any governorships.
In fact, when you add in those toss-ups, they may gain.
So this should stand as a major wake-up call to Democrats because if there's a wave building, it has not, at least at this point, hit the state level when it comes to governorship.
I thought we're all going to die.
The sky's falling.
Again, Goes are the Goes Arian.
Be careful, Ray.
Clear your mind.
I couldn't help it.
The state marshal.
I thought it was the end of times.
The Dow is hovering around $49,000, $50,000.
Real wages are going up.
Mortgage rates are going down.
Jobless rates are going down.
GDP is at 4%, closing in on possibly 5%.
We've got a technological medical revolution coming with AI.
Another question I'll ask Mark Levin about later coming up in about 45 minutes.
The great one.
Folks, it is also, and this is a topic sensitive to me.
Again, I'm trying not to bring it up too often, but it relates to you directly because the golden rule of the Dan Bongino show, rule number one, is don't get dead.
And I only took the job for the year because I wanted you to not get dead.
And I knew there are things we could do over there within FBI to make people less likely to get dead.
One of them was implementing the Rudy Giuliani broken windows model nationwide.
Why is that?
You are now living in the safest America you have ever lived in because the Trump administration wanted it to be safe.
That's why the media can bullshit you all they want.
Biden did it.
Obama did it.
They didn't do shit.
It's the Trump administration that did it.
Full stoparoo.
And they did it because President Trump gets it.
I'm going to play this for you right now.
This is not hard.
It's only hard for Democrats.
Why is this the safest America based on pure numbers you've ever lived in?
The homicide rate, the violent crime rate, why?
The answer is not complicated, folks.
Very few people, less than 2% of the population, commits about 90% of the violent crime.
Here, I'll test this right now.
In the listening audience, yes or no, how many of you know someone that's murdered someone?
The answer is going to be 99% no.
Why don't you know someone that's murdered someone?
I'm not talking about cops that do this, you know, professionally.
Because there aren't a lot of murderers.
And when you go and pull them off the street, like President Trump wanted, you get a safe American.
This is not freaking hard.
Oh, President Trump never said that.
That wasn't his plan.
Really?
Listen to him say it exactly this yesterday and tell me again.
Oh, you don't know what he's doing.
The fascist, racist, Hitler, Hitler, racist, fascist.
You're totally full of shit.
You never work for the guy.
Check this out.
90% of the crime is caused by 2% of the people.
Thank you.
So when you get the criminals out, you solve a lot of problems.
Do you know how many times he told us that?
Go get them, fellas.
He lived in the pre-Giuliani, New York, where this limited pool of violent demon savages preyed on the entire city.
He saw what Giuliani did.
He took in the inputs, made a new output, and put together a battle plan.
And now you see, what are they up to there?
10,000 arrests in D.C. or something?
That just came out the other day.
D.C., Chicago, murder rates plunging.
This is the President Trump dystopia.
We're all, oh my God, it's horrible out here.
I can't believe it.
The sky is falling.
The black clouds are everywhere.
We're all going to die, Reverend Kane style.
The thing is, the likelihood of you dying is a whole lot less now, thanks to his leadership.
And you can call it whatever you want.
Oh, you're patting him on the back.
Bullshit.
I lived it, and he deserves the credit for it.
And I'm not going to stop talking about it.
I was just an accessory to it.
That's why this article yesterday at Hannity.com made me happy as well.
Did you see this article about Lara Trump?
Said that there's some other members of the Trump family that were looking at running for office.
Trump dynasty ready, multiple family members, eye political ones.
Folks, I am all about this.
I have very close personal relationships with many of them.
I got to tell you, I like them all.
Laura Trump's a dynamo.
Eric Trump is one of the best business guys you're ever going to meet.
Don is just a bulldozer on 2A and conservatism.
Go for it.
I don't know what their interest is or isn't.
I mean, Laura knows better than I do.
She's talking about herself and her family.
I'm not sitting there having dinner with them at night like she is.
I'm on the periphery.
But hell yeah, man.
I'm all about it.
Yeah, tell me in the chat.
I want to, do we have Boccino still?
You guys are pretty, Josh and Andrew.
Like what's Boccino?
Gee, Justin, is Boccino still around?
I know I've been gone for a year.
We're still bringing some of our audience back together.
Boccino used to put together the poll numbers.
Is he still around?
I'd like to see like a little poll in the chat.
If you wanted a Trump to run for office, it's isolated to Don, Eric, or Laura Trump.
Who would you pick?
Tell me in the chat.
I'd love to see where this goes.
I'm genuinely interested because I love all three of them.
Closet Politics In Florida00:10:46
They all have different assets, but I am all about one of them running too because they get it.
And I think that Trump name and their attitude, that go-get a MAGA attitude, has really transformed the Republican Party with a whole lot of folks.
See, there you go.
Yeah.
All right.
And the Democrats, what's their solution to this?
I told you their strategy is all over the place.
They are really pissed off.
Follow me here.
They are really pissed off that they have not managed to make a serious dent in Trump's approval rating and nothing they're doing is sticking right now.
They don't know what they're doing.
They're like Epstein, racist, affordability.
They're all over the place.
You notice every day it's a new message with them every single day.
Why is that?
The Democrats are usually good of thinking like DeBorg from Star Trek.
I used to use this analogy a lot.
They think with a hive mind.
That's the essence of collectivism for them.
They're usually better at this.
They're all over the place because nothing sticks with this guy, because he plows right through it and keeps producing results.
I was reading an interesting article a while back, and it was fascinating because I had seen it on the other side.
How I forget where it was, maybe it was Vanity Fair.
It doesn't matter.
But the essence of the piece was that the media attacking figures in the Trump administration is bullshit.
It's almost like job security.
That if you're producing results, shutting down the border, violent crime rate, you know, a Secretary of War producing an endless litany of results.
He doesn't get into all this bullshit.
That is who he is.
The Democrats' solution, racist, Hitler, fascist, Epstein, all around.
Now their solution, given that here's what they're afraid of coming up.
The state of the union is coming up.
President Trump is going to have a massive audience for the state of the union, a massive audience, and everybody knows it.
So what's their plan?
They're afraid that he is going to speak to tens of millions of people about actual numbers, mortgage rates, GDP, inflation, the border, violent crime going down.
And they know they can't argue it because even the quote fact checkers are going to be like, hey, he's telling the truth.
So what's their plot?
New York Post, Ryan King, Democrats plot a boycott of Trump's State of the Union address with the left.
Listen, I understand that it's really tough for you, Dems, to drop L's, big losses over the entire year.
Nobody gives a shit if you boycott and leave.
No one's even going to notice.
All they're going to see is a bunch of empty seats with you not there and no one's going to care who was in them or not.
Go ahead, boycott.
You look like a bunch of petulant kids.
You know you're dropping L's left and right.
The economy, public safety, the border, inflation.
You know it.
You not showing up makes you look like a bunch of feckless losers who took your toys out of the sandbox and left.
Good.
Don't show up.
Nobody cares.
Folks, even the culture wars are changing.
And this is freaking them out too.
You know, I told you before how 25, 30 years ago, they started getting into this crazy culture war shit, men's penises and women's bathrooms.
Like, who the hell wants to see that?
Now the tide is turning.
Now, let me tie it together for you.
I'm going to play this Fox clip in a second.
A growing number of hospitals are now getting away from this trans mutilation nonsense.
There's no such thing as gender affirmation.
Your gender's affirmed when you're born by God.
It's not affirmed by surgery.
This is what Susan Rice in the beginning of the show, Obama Deep Stater, go back and rewind if you're watching on demand.
This is what she's talking about when she's talking about we're going to come after you, corporations, if you appeased President Trump.
This is what she's talking about.
She's talking about hospitals and stuff that got away from this insanity and started implementing common sense approaches like not cutting up kids' bodies.
They are going to subpoena you all because they're freaking crazy and they can't wait to re-weaponize the place.
They're pissed off that the culture wars are turning too.
Check this out.
I can only imagine what the parents were going through.
I mean, they're told that their child is going to kill themselves if they don't have these surgeries.
You know, they're pressured.
And what are you supposed to do?
You drop everything to do the right thing for your child.
As physicians, we're supposed to follow evidence-based medicine.
And so much of the data did not show that what we're doing was the right thing.
And he knows it better than anyone because he trained there.
So the changes come, though, after President Trump cracked down on this.
He signed an executive order last year.
You remember that?
Warning hospitals, you could lose your federal funding if you keep doing this.
This is what Susan Rice is talking about.
If the Democrats win, you got to show up and vote.
Tie it all together.
This is why I'm telling you, love me, hate me, can't stand me.
You know, part of the Bongino army, part of the anti-Bongino army.
Fine.
Listen, I'm a capitalist in the free market of content creation ideas.
You hate my guts.
A-OK.
Please do not take anything out on the party.
And by the way, to my own supporters and followers who I love and adore, I'm super grateful for you being here.
You have no idea.
You've given me so much in this wonderful life God has blessed me with.
If there are other people out there who hate my guts and say the nastiest things, but support another Republican candidate, report, support that Republican over the Democrat.
I'm telling, this goes both ways.
This is no time for grudges.
These hospitals, corporations, every member of the Trump administration is going to be subjected to the same bullshit weaponization when they get power because they're crazy.
And they use these buzzwords, these bullshit buzzwords, mom dami and others.
Like, you know, we're doing this all for equity.
Equity.
Did you see that?
I can't.
Is this real?
Or I need some crowdsourcing on this.
This video went viral yesterday.
This is Mom Dami.
This is where the Democrats, the lunatics, the ignorance is, you know, an asset party is pulling the Democrats.
He runs on equity.
In other words, everyone should be equal.
By the way, they want to make rich people poor, not poor people rich.
That's how they get to the equity portion of it.
Equity.
That's their buzzword to try and sucker people in to voting for their bullshit.
This is their version of equity.
This is some video taken.
It's like a real estate type video of an apartment in New York City.
What's the rent here?
Like $2,750 a month or something like that?
So almost $2,800.
If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, check out this video on the show.
This is what close to $3,000 a month gets you for rent in New York.
Put up this video.
This is insane.
When you come on in, this is your entire apartment.
Now, yes, it is small, but it definitely is better than some of the micro studios you see in Manhattan.
We'll start on over in the kitchen.
And yes, it's difficult to call this a kitchen.
It's more of a kitchen area.
Although you do have your dishwasher and your microwave and a pretty decently sized fridge and freezer.
And I know what you're thinking.
Where is the bathroom?
It was on the right side when we walked in.
Let's head on over and check that out.
But before we do have this nice little storage area, it's better than nothing.
Here's what the bathroom looks like.
The rent for this apartment is $2,750.
Hat tip, Instagram Reels at New York City RentGuy.
What the now?
I know Justin's the house he grew up in well.
Justin's been working here since he's like 16 or something.
Whatever the child labor laws, that's how long he's been working here.
Justin's been here forever.
I know his neighborhood well because I had a house there.
Justin, wouldn't you agree?
That's like a closet in Florida.
The whole apartment.
That's Florida, the free state of Florida, by the way, that has a budget at what 23 million people, less than the New York City budget with 8.3 million people.
Wait, what?
They have like a third of the population in New York and they have a bigger budget than the whole state of Florida.
In New York City, New York City, not even New York State.
Yes, that's what equity looks like in New York.
We call that a closet in Florida.
Matter of fact, that's like a wing of the closet in Florida.
Because they want you in that box to tell you the MAGA movement hates you.
That's why they do this identity politics game.
It's for a tactical reason.
If the box becomes unconvenient, by the way, inconvenient, excuse me, if the box becomes inconvenient, they'll wipe out the box.
In other words, when the box includes Asian Americans who get discriminated against on their college applications, they don't want to talk about that.
When the box includes Jewish Americans and they don't like that, they're like, oh, no, no, no, Jews.
I don't know.
Why are they so successful as a matter?
We don't want to talk about that.
They need identity politics to survive because it keeps the victimization agenda going.
That's why these DEI programs are so valuable to them because they make every group out to be a victim and they create the groups.
Here's a clip from Fox.
This is again, New York City equity in action.
They're going bankrupt, the city.
Momdami wants to raise property taxes, upwards of 9% or 10% of middle-class families, to pay for, you know, free grocery stores, communist style like he's freaking Joseph Stalin.
And get a load of this shit.
They want to raise your tax again to bring back a bunch of this DEI stuff to teach a bunch of New Yorkers how they're victims of other New Yorkers who were abusing them.
Check this out.
4.6 million Commission on Racial Equity, $835,000 Commission on Gender Equity, $260,000 for Department of Education, Chief Diversity Officer, $301,000 for three FDNY civilian chief diversity inclusion officers.
There's a title for you.
And $118,000 for an FDNY Chief Diversity Inclusion Officers.
Is that necessary stuff?
You can't cut that back.
That's their version of equity while they stick you in a Florida closet up in a New York City high-rise for $3,000 freaking dollars a month.
And they tell you this is equity.
No, that's not equity.
That's poor people staying poor and rich people getting poorer.
Folks, We Live in a Dangerous World00:11:15
I'm just showing you what's out there, man.
Switching gears a little bit.
Did you guys see this ICE ad, Immigration's Customs Enforcement?
Folks, you know, my friend Brendan Dilley lives near me down here.
He does, you know, the memes and social media messaging, and they do a really good job at it.
Messaging on social media is going to be everything moving forward, especially with AI-driven algorithmic enhancement.
It just is.
I'm not telling you, I'm not making a moral judgment on the ethics or good or bad nature of it.
I'm just telling you going forward that if you don't have messaging down, whether you're government or any other entity, you are going to get burned because the algorithms and the AI enhancement of algorithms are going to magnify good messaging, good meaning it gets out there and penetrates viral messaging, even if the message is bullshit.
You have got to be good at this.
You've got to be amazing at it.
That's why it really pleases me to see powerful, sad, albeit tragic, but powerful ads like this from ICE.
You got to watch this.
If you don't, if you haven't seen it yet, spread this around.
Find it on X, on TikTok, on whatever platforms you're on, and share it.
The American public needs to see this.
This is what Trump administration messaging and breaking through the cloud of media bullshit looks like.
Check this out.
That's what messaging looks like.
Powerful.
You see the images of Lake and Riley and others.
That is why the Trump administration and the approval rating of President Trump has not cratered despite liberal media's best wishes, the liberal media's best wishes.
Because they get this and they understand they've got to break through a cloud of BS to give the American people proper inputs and information, accurate inputs so they can make an informed output decision.
I can't say that enough.
Folks, you got to be transactional about politics.
Yes, use emotion in the messaging and be passionate about it.
But ultimately, logic and reason are going to require accurate facts and data for input so we can drive the country in a better output direction.
He's winning because he's produced results.
And you can't deny them.
Here's another video that went nuclear yesterday.
It's so deeply disturbing.
Again, the Democrats, I showed you that video the other day of the Democrats saying, oh my gosh, we're putting these kids in danger, all this stuff with schools, reducing school funding.
Yet, when it comes to anti-ICE protests, what is this in Asheville, North Carolina?
Here's a bunch of young kids running across the.
Can you VO this?
Here's a bunch of kids running across the uh, the basically an active street.
Look at these kids.
You want to talk about putting kids in danger.
Whose idea was this?
If my kid went to that school, I'd be pulling all right, get that out of you.
I'd be pulling these kids out of school tomorrow for Anti-ICE protests.
Why you want more LAKE AND Riley's.
What exactly are you protesting and what exactly do you want?
Here's another news report out of Palm Beach County, just south of me, where some uh, where a young kid was hit by a car outside a school.
I want you to listen to this report and tell me again how this is compassionate and tolerant and all that other bullshit the left wants to shove down your throat.
Check this out.
A student participating in a walkout at PALM Beach Lakes HIGH School was hit by a car along North Military Trail.
That child was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be okay.
And as tensions flared up, separate protest sites across our area, cameras capturing two people here, a man and a woman, appears to be maybe a student, struggling with police as officers tried to control the growing crowds.
This is not coexistence, tolerance, compassion.
This is bullshit.
If your kid goes to one of these schools, schools, pull him out and homeschool him immediately.
You're never, of course, you're never going to get an accurate assessment of what's going on in the country by listening to these media people.
And you see all you want to talk about skewing statistics and all this other stuff, which is what they do all the time.
Listen, I like Cato.
I, you know, I use a lot of their material.
However, I saw this tweet coming up.
What the hell is this?
The Cato Institute.
The risk of being killed in a politically motivated attack in the U.S. is low.
A Cato study shows.
Excluding 9-11 and the Oklahoma City bombing.
Most deaths come from right-wing attackers, followed by Islamists and then left-wing attackers, excluding 9-11.
I only bring this up not to pile on, but to show you how, if you just read the cursory headline, oh my gosh, he's right-wing attackers, excluding 9-11.
That's kind of a big exclusion.
No thousands of people died, thousands afterwards, and the uh who probably afflicted by diseases and death afterwards.
The economic disruption, the tragedy, the families who lost their loved ones-kind of a big exclusion.
It's like judging casualties from war and going, ah, excluding the Civil War.
Folks, we live in a dangerous world.
There's no time for bullshit.
The goal of this show, whether you love it or you hate it, is always going to be to get you accurate information so that you can make logical, reasonable decisions.
We live in a dangerous world.
I'm going to talk to Mark Lavincho, Mark Levin from the Mark Levin Show, the great one, in about 10, 15 minutes.
I'm going to ask him about, again, the growing armada military buildup around Iran, the death to America crowd that has been killing us, trying to kill us and killing us for decades now, terror attacks, terror proxy groups, and elsewhere.
What's likely to happen over there?
But I want to address this story from the Times too.
How what is it?
This is why I so appreciate President Trump's firm approach to our so-called allies.
I say so-called, because if you're going to be an ally, then you damn well better act like it.
The UK At Times article.
UK blocking President Trump from using Royal Air Force bases for strikes on Iran.
Really?
Ladies and gentlemen, we provide a blanket of security for the entire globe.
The entire globe of so-called free countries, we provide the blanket of security.
If you're going to say you're an ally, then you damn well better act like it.
You know, you gave Marco Rubio, who gave an amazing speech over in Munich.
You gave him these EU folks a standing ovation.
Well, you better start acting like freaking allies if we need help and support.
That's not acting like an ally.
That's acting like an adversary.
You turned into an obstacle.
On a lighter note, here was President Trump yesterday talking about Rubio's speech.
I want you to watch the look on Rubio's face as President Trump, who I told you, this guy is a natural at a group of people.
Make a joke about how, hey, if Rubio gets any better, I may have to get rid of him.
Check this out.
Marco does it with a velvet love, but it's a kill.
The result is the same.
They do it very differently.
And Marco, you really did yourself proud two days ago in Munich.
In fact, so proud that I almost terminated his employee because they were saying, why can't Trump do this?
I do, but I say it differently.
But Marco, don't do any better than you did, please.
Because if you do, you're out of here.
But no, he got, I want my guys to do great.
And the acclaim he's gotten and the acclaim JD gets is great.
We have smart people.
They're using this carrot and stick approach.
It is so obvious if you're paying attention.
I know I see all these people, some of them in the old establishment right wing who are used to this constant ass kissing of foreign allies who don't meet their end of the bargain.
Trump is telling you right now that he uses his carrot stick approach.
JD was a little more of the stick, so is he.
Rubio was a little bit more of the carrot.
But what he's doing is the right thing.
You guys want to be allies and you damn well better act like it because the world is changing and it's a totally different place than it was 20 years ago and the threats are very real right now.
Folks, you have an explosion in technology, AI and elsewhere and all of this stuff.
I'll ask Mark Levin about that as well.
But there was a real risk going forward that AI is going to be used for really bad things.
But there's another risk from AI too.
Wall Street Journal had an interesting piece about this the other day.
It was called de-skilling.
The gist of it is this.
The title of the article by James Miggs is Don't Put Your Life on Autopilot.
They're talking about how when they instituted stronger autopilot technology and planes, that they thought it would reduce crashes.
But in the short term afterwards, it actually led to some more dangerous situations because pilot skills deteriorated.
And when things broke bad and autopilot maybe didn't work or malfunction, a lot of these pilots didn't know what to do.
And they were saying, this is a fascinating piece about how AI going forward, you're going to offload a lot of your cerebral exercises onto AI, figure this out, calculate this, do my BMI measure where you used to have to measure your own waste or whatever it is.
And now AI is going to figure this all out on its own.
And they're saying there's a real risk of human beings de-skilling or losing their skills.
So what's the solution to this?
They note that the plane solution, what they did with aviation, provides an answer.
Pilots today take deliberate breaks from autopilot to hand-fly the aircraft.
They also spend hours practicing extreme scenarios and flight simulators.
That's the reason the rate of airline crashes has plunged since the 1990s.
Other fields they note are going to need similar interventions.
High schools should, they note, should embrace the trend towards banning phones.
Colleges will need more in-class writing assignments and oral exams.
Businesses may need occasional pauses from AI-based work to make sure people keep their skills sharp.
Yes, sir.
I love the fact that we are moving into a technology future where AI may be able to cure cancer and all that other stuff, but there's a real risk from this national security, which I had addressed prior, and de-skilling.
People are not lazy.
Don't buy into the liberal hype.
We're going to have to get people to use universal basic income because they're all lazy.
Bullshit.
I don't believe that at all.
They will find something to do.
They always find something to do.

Inside Britain's Influence00:15:14
What a tremendous honor to welcome to the show one of my mentors in the business, a guy who gave me a shot early on, owe most of my career to this guy.
And I'm not accepting anything otherwise, Mark.
Don't tell me I didn't do anything.
Just move on and take the compliment.
The great one, Mark Levin.
Welcome, Mark.
Dan, I couldn't be prouder of you, man.
Just as a patriot, as a patriot, the things you've done in your life, local cop, Secret Service, Deputy Director of the FBI, that's a big deal.
This industry, you're a superstar, man.
And I have to be honest, I saw this 10, 12 years ago in you.
I really did.
And you have done absolutely fabulously.
And welcome back.
We need you on the airwaves or whatever we call this, the internet waves.
And we need you.
And your voice is very, very important at a time like this.
Well, thank you, Mark.
And speaking of the airways, that's very nice of you to say.
You've dominated radio, TV, you've been everywhere, cable.
Now you've had a podcast, but you're launching a new podcast here on Rumble and other platforms as well.
Mark Levin Show, rumble.com/slash Mark Levin Show.
You know, you're evolving with the digital times, Mark.
You've seen it like everyone else.
You've been in this business for decades.
Talk radio used to be the only place.
Here was the lineup.
It was Rush, Hannity, Mark Levin.
That was it.
That was the staple.
But now you're seeing with this evolving digital ecosystem, you really have to be everywhere.
And what an honor to have you on Rumble.
First of all, Rumble's been great to us, and you folks have been great to us.
And I want to thank everybody.
In fact, our first three shows, most of the viewers, are on Rumble.
And we're very proud of that.
We have 650,000 followers, give or take.
And I want to thank Chris and you and the other people at Rumble.
It's really a great site.
As for talk radio and this venue and so forth, I don't believe in swimming against the current.
If there are platforms and they make sense, my view is use all the platforms.
We have some people on talk radio to say, no, I'm just doing talk radio.
Some people on TV, no, I'm just doing TV.
If I'm able to get the message out, you know, I'm mission-oriented.
I'm an activist.
That's the bottom line, despite what the platform is, then I want to be on that platform.
And so we've taken time to create our little corner of this platform.
No billionaires involved.
Qatar's not involved.
None of that stuff's involved.
We're doing it ourselves.
We've got a lot of great advice from you, Dan Bongino, and some other people who've sort of taught us on the quick and fast on how to get up and running.
We're just beginning.
We've got a good beginning.
We're going to do this for a while.
And I really believe that in many respects, the internet is a cesspool with a few silver linings.
You're one of them.
There's a few other silver linings.
But the worst of the worst, get on the internet.
And I just felt, why don't I reach into that community?
There's not a real overlap between talk radio and podcasting.
We're doing our video podcasting.
And so let me take the opportunity with people like you, Dan, and get into this and try and show people how it should be done.
That is not dropping F-bombs all the time, not smoking pot on the air, not, you know, all the rest of that stuff that goes on, the bigotry, the racism, and so forth.
How about we use this magnificent platform to advance the cause of liberty?
So the first two out of three shows that I've done, you know, I'm talking about John Locke.
I'm talking about Adam Smith.
I'm getting into the things that are of interest to me.
I'm trying to apply them to current events.
That doesn't mean I'm going to ignore current events.
Of course, I'm not, like Iran and these other things that are going on.
But people are not taught at a young age.
And there are many young people who are listening to your podcast and other podcasters who don't know why they should love our country and why it's such a unique nation, one of a kind.
And I want people to be patriotic, to love this country on our 250th anniversary.
Don't listen to all this negativity, tearing down our society, one group against another.
So this is my little way of pushing back.
Well, I'm glad you mentioned that F-bomb thing.
Those guys are horrible to drop F-bombs, right, guys?
They're looking at me inside like, yeah, okay.
I see your point, though, Mark.
Let's get to Iran.
A huge military buildup we've seen in the region over there with President Trump looks like an apparent obvious act here of gunboat diplomacy.
The Iranians have been screaming death to America, obviously, for decades.
They've engaged in ruthless attacks on both American soil.
A lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes with the Iranians as well.
But there's one angle of this I was particularly offended by.
It's the United Kingdom who's been a very good ally to us over the course of decades.
The Starmer government right now, apparently, if there, if there is, and we don't know, that's going to have no inside information about that.
I'm out of the government now.
However, if there is an attack, they're apparently reluctant to provide us basing assistance in some of the areas they control have some have a footprint in the region.
Mark, that's really disturbing considering we provide the global national security umbrella for allies of freedom around the world.
Yeah, people need to understand when we talk about Britain, we're not talking necessarily about the leadership, just like in the United States.
And what do I mean by that?
Britain under Thatcher was a fabulous country and a fabulous ally.
Britain under Churchill, same thing.
We have these Quizlings now.
You have Macron in France.
You've got this guy in Britain all throughout Europe, except with a few safe havens.
They've destroyed their own countries with their immigration policies, the Labor parties, the Liberal parties, sort of the Rhino, quote unquote, or maybe they're Tino, that is the so-called conservative parties, which are not that conservative in Europe.
They've capitulated to the mass migration, what I call revolution by immigration.
And so these radical left parties, including in our country, the Democrat Party, are becoming reliant on the most extreme Islamists.
And this is what that's about.
He doesn't want us to be able to use the bases in Britain to launch our planes because of the Islamist wing of the Labor Party.
And Islam in Britain is now about 15% of the population and growing.
They live in very tight communities.
So they have a major impact on electoral politics.
They're trying to do the same thing in the United States, in Texas, in Florida, in Michigan, in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania.
It's the same thing.
We know that's what they're doing.
They've told us that's what they're doing.
CARE has told us this is what they're going to do and these other enemies within and so forth.
So it has an impact on international policies.
So when people say, why do we focus so much on foreign policy?
Foreign policy is domestic policy and domestic policy is foreign policy, particularly when you have these open borders and particularly when Europe is led by these leftists who are weak.
And the Islamists are relying on the leftists.
Because look what they did in Iran.
You had Khomeini, the first Khomeini.
He built an alliance with the left in Iran.
He built an alliance with the opposition in Iran.
He built an alliance with the religious opposition in Iran.
He takes over and he slaughters them and he blows them out.
There is no alliance with these people, the Islamist side of this.
And so that's what they do.
Britain is now heavily influenced by this element.
And this element is knee-jerk anyway, the left.
And so they really do not want us to take out the regime in Iran, just like we have people in our country.
And they're on TV and they're all over the internet and they're given airtime and they're podcasters who are talking about people.
I'm a warmonger.
No, I'm not a warmonger.
I'm a peacemonger.
It's called peace through strength, not peace through appeasement and pacifism.
And the fact of the matter is, I don't believe in democracy, excuse me, diplomacy mongers.
That is people who will negotiate and talk and talk and talk while the enemy is building nuclear weapons and missiles and slaughtering 50,000 of their own people.
So it is an abomination what this stormer is doing.
And I'm told that if they had an election today, he'd be blown out of there so fast it's not funny.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, they probably want Liz Truss back.
Really?
I mean, it is.
It is the political environment over there is just really horrendous for their liberal wing and their party over there.
Mark, let me get to some domestic policy.
And again, Mark has a new show, a podcast, MarkLavincho, rumble.com slash Mark Lavincho, Liberty's Voice.
Make sure you check it out.
Go subscribe and follow today.
Mark, there's a big debate.
And I'll tell you where I stand.
And I'm not pretending to have all the answers, but you knowing government as well as anyone and how it works, the mechanics.
The SAVE Act and the filibuster.
We're not going to get it passed without either a talking filibuster obstacle for the Dems or nuke and the filibuster altogether.
I know it may be a controversial opinion to have.
However, I'm going to be honest with the audience.
I have been.
I just don't think the filibuster is useful anymore because we have to take into account the inaction on our part and what's going to happen.
The Democrats have already said they're going to bust the filibuster.
Cinema and Mansion stopped it.
They're gone.
They're going to do it.
My take on is bust it now.
Do what we can do.
Beat them to the punch because we're going to suffer from it anyway.
Your take on the filibuster and the SAVE Act.
A couple of things about this.
We've had this filibuster since the beginning of the Republic.
It's not in the Constitution.
But what's the purpose of the filibuster?
The purpose of the filibuster is to make sure we don't become Europe, the parliamentary systems.
So if the Senate is essentially the House of Representatives, that means when the Democrats take over, they will push through additions to the Supreme Court.
They will push through the popular vote against the Electoral College.
They will push through open borders.
They will push through their attack on ICE.
So I just want people to understand this.
But your point is correct when you say they're going to get rid of it anyway.
So I like what they came up with at the Daily Wire, quite frankly.
They said, why don't we insist?
Why don't we insist since the Democrats are using the filibuster while they say they don't like it on a constitutional amendment, put it up for a vote in the Senate and in the House of Representatives to keep the filibuster and let's see how they vote on that.
And then they say, if they won't vote on it or they block it or they vote against it, then there's more of an argument for getting rid of the filibuster.
So I'm up two minds on this.
I am concerned that when the Democrats take power, they know how to use it.
They know how to grab it.
They know how to maintain it.
When our guys take power, you know, it's like a tea party.
What should we do?
How are we going to do it?
When are we going to do it?
What about Ernie Grobotsky and Phyllis Smith over here?
And what do we the Democrats?
Baby, they go right through and they ram it down.
Our guys, it's debate.
So I'm concerned if there's no filibuster, they will get what they want.
One other thing in government, as you know, it's harder to unravel things than it is to put things in place.
And they have a whole plan, HR1, their election plan, they keep coming up with it, to ensure that they could never lose an election again.
Illegal immigration, birthright citizenship, no deportation, change the voting rules to make it identical to California.
They're already doing this now in Virginia.
And look, this governor of Virginia ran as a moderate.
She's putting in place the most radical agenda in the country.
They'll do the same thing.
Mark, I really could not agree with you more.
This is not a plebiscite.
This is not two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner.
Direct democracy is a terrible idea.
We have a representative democracy.
This is a republic.
It is not a direct democracy.
We don't put every single thing on the ballot.
We elect representatives to handle that.
I get it.
But I think that Daily Wire idea, by the way, sounds pretty appealing.
I get them on the record, right?
That's not a bad idea.
It's the first time I'd heard that.
But I think you see my point too, is that this isn't a question of what's the good answer versus bad answer.
It's the bad answer versus the worst answer.
And because we have a side of the aisle, the Democrats, you're right, that jam the syrup of IPACAC down your throat and don't really give a damn what you think.
And you can unwind this stuff later.
My only thought on it is if they're going to do it anyway in a world of bad or worse, I'll pick bad rather than worse.
But I totally see your point.
Let me just add one thing.
Because you're right about if they're going to get rid of the filibuster, then have an entire agenda that you're going to put in place, not just on voting, an entire agenda.
If you're going to go through the process of changing fundamentally how the Senate works and how our Constitution works, even though it's not in the Constitution, then have your entire agenda and push it through.
Not just for the SAVE Act, but for 50 SAVE Acts.
In other words, all these other things that need to be done to the Republic, then go ahead and get it done.
That is exactly what I said in yesterday's show.
Go through tax reform, budget reform, entitlement reform, all of it.
You're 100% correct.
If you're going to do it, don't do it with kid gloves.
Do it the right way.
Mark, this has been an incredible first year for this president.
Obviously, the media hates him.
I know you have a personal relationship with the president.
You know, I did as well.
And when you work for him, you were in, I mean, I don't need to tell you about what it's like working inside the White House environment.
It's different inside.
It's not about you.
It's about the administration.
But this first year, just on the numbers, forget the personalities, everything else, on the numbers alone, whether it's the inflation numbers, whether it's projected GDP growth.
We had numbers yesterday and jobless claims going down, the border, violent crime, the homicide rate, what's happening overseas, our military getting modern equipment, Golden Dome.
I mean, finally, we got rid of Iran's, or at least delayed their nuclear capability.
I mean, these are things, Mark, that have been talked about forever.
We hadn't had, you know, 4% projected GDP growth in a quarter in eons.
This has been a really incredible first year, but it really, the media bias on this guy is just incredible.
They would be carving into Mount Rushmore if this was Biden or Obama.
That's 100% right.
It has been an unbelievable first year.
Look, he's gotten rid of 350,000 federal employees.
Did anybody think that was possible?
Economic Sabotage Debate00:06:11
And at the same time, you have the growth in the private sector, economic growth across the country.
Inflation is way down.
I looked at this yesterday.
Gas prices are at a four-year low.
They say food prices are still up.
That's not exactly right.
Corn prices are down.
Egg prices are down.
Butter prices are down.
Milk prices are down.
Meat prices are down.
I literally went through and looked at all the consumer index issues and so forth.
He's pushed down interest rates, I think, using the bully pulpit against the Fed, and he'll have a new chairman there.
He's opened up our lands and our waters to drilling.
55% increase in permitting that's taking place.
A 73% increase in drilling that's taking place.
We've never seen anything like this.
Lumber for building homes and so forth and so on.
He's opened up these areas too, way up in terms of the percentage of that activity that's going on.
So he has undone sort of the socialist economic policies of the Democrats, department by department, economic sector by economic sector.
And Americans, if they step back, they're going to see that he has slashed taxes, that it's starting to kick in.
He has slashed taxes for the middle class, for blue-collar workers, and yes, everybody, including wealthy people who create jobs, create businesses, and who are on the stock market where your IRA and your 401k is.
We want the whole nation to be successful.
Enough of this Marxist claptrap.
And Trump has been doing this every way humanly possible.
The president only has so many powers, and he's using everyone, and he's pushing it to the edge.
And Congress, you know, the Democrats exist for one reason, sabotage.
That's it.
They want to sabotage the economy.
They want to sabotage the Republic.
They want to sabotage ICE, our cops, our military.
And they think by dragging down the country, dragging down the economy that we'll all turn to them and elect them.
That's their plan.
That's their hope.
Mark, last question.
Folks, please go to rumble.com slash Mark Levin show.
He has a new podcast.
It's going to be an amazing success like everything else he does.
Books, radio, TV, you name it.
The godfather of the modern conservative movement, Mark Levin.
Mark, there was an interesting piece.
I bring it up because it harkens back to an era you spent in government in the Reagan administration by the Wall Street Journal yesterday.
I think it was Freeman.
He was talking about how Americans are very entrepreneurial, hardworking people.
That's fairly obvious.
We're the, you know, with a tip of the spear of capitalism.
But how they have a revulsion towards people taking free stuff, like government grifters and freeloaders.
And the gist of the article was that's why this Minnesota fraud case is just a tick under the skin of the Democrats that they really better explain away because you know this is everywhere.
It's probably 10X or 100X in California.
But I want to tie it to a different question because there's another argument out there about AI, that AI is going to take everybody's job.
We're all going to have to be on a universal basic income, sitting around playing video games all day with nothing to do.
This argument has been used over and over and over against capitalism.
Oh my gosh, what are the people who ride horses going to do when the automobile came around?
Human beings are not lazy by default.
They want to add value.
I don't believe in this UBI crap, and I think AI is going to be great.
They're potential risk.
But I don't believe people are going to sit around in their ass and do nothing all day.
I agree with you completely.
First of all, if we don't, the enemy will.
So that's number one.
Number two, so we should control the trajectory of this.
That's number two.
Number three, your point is very, very important.
What are we supposed to do?
Stop thinking?
Stop producing?
Stop creating?
Stop inventing?
Because some person who's in a particular job might lose their job.
Let's look at it this way.
Think about all the jobs AI will create.
In fact, we can't even imagine all the businesses, all the services, all the activities that will be created.
I mean, 50 years ago, nobody knew what this was, right?
50 years ago, it didn't exist.
Oh, you're going to put all the people that work for AT ⁇ T out of business.
Look at all the people who are working now.
We hear this argument all the time.
And this is why Von Mises wrote about 30, 40 years ago, we all talk like Marxists.
We all talk like Marxists now, about the wealthy versus the poor, about, you know, progress is going to destroy our economy.
Some existing jobs will go.
That's okay.
And many new jobs will be created.
Or maybe wherever you work out there, you'll just have more people working with you and for you.
Human intelligence cannot be controlled.
Now, they try it in these police states, whether it's Marxism or Islamism or fascism or whatever the ism is.
But in America, that's not what we do.
Liberty and economic freedom go hand in hand.
Why?
Because we're talking about the ability and the motivation of the individual to use their God-given intelligence to do things.
You can't put AI back in the box, even if you wanted to.
And why should we?
So we've heard these voices before.
You're exactly right, Dan, who say, let's stay in the 1880s.
Let's stay in the 1910s.
Let's stay here.
We don't know what this world's going to look like in 100 years.
But what you and I do know is we need to have our republic.
We need to have representative government.
We need to have limited bureaucracy so that we as individuals, the purpose of the founding in the first place, can pursue our best interests and collectively in our society, our civil society, we can go forward.
AI will cure a lot of illnesses, will create a lot of medicines that we haven't had before.
It'll do things that only the mind can imagine and maybe can't even imagine.
Why We Can't Stay in the Past00:03:23

Mark, thanks for being a mentor to me, always being a lodestar for conservatism.
I deeply appreciate you spending some time with us today.
Thanks so much.
Hold on, I need 30 seconds.
Yeah, of course.
This guy, Dan Bongino, is such a kind and decent human being, folks.
I just want you to know that.
He is so committed to this country, whether his earlier career, he ran for office in a terrible state.
I don't mean terrible by every individual, but it was heavy Democrat.
He almost won.
He didn't give up.
Everything he does, he puts his whole heart into it.
And look how he's treating me.
He doesn't have to treat me this way.
He doesn't have to say all these nice things about me, but he is a good friend.
He is loyal.
It is an honor to be on your podcast, one of the greatest podcasts in the country.
God bless you, my friend.
Thank you, sir.
I really appreciate your time, Mark.
I'll talk to you soon.
There he is, folks.
The great Mark Levin called the great one, not the good one, for a reason.
He's earned it.
Been a good friend and a mentor to me.
