=== Dan Bongino's Fall (04:38) ===

[00:00:00]  In the course of many discussions lately as to Candace Owens and Erica Kirk and all that is going on regarding that entire multi-level, multi-stratified issue, the one name that keeps coming up, surprisingly, and this sense of real betrayal and outrage, is that associated with Dan Bongino,
[00:00:28]  who has another nickname with, which I'd rather not say at this time, but there was a pudendal reference, and you can probably figure it out.
[00:00:37]  So what is this story?
[00:00:39]  Why has he incurred this much wrath, so to speak?
[00:00:46]  It's incredible, the fall of him, and how did he, in his latest incarnation, this, not an incarnation, but iteration, I should say, of this off-the-chain, off-the-chart, screed, scream, screech, whatever this was, this execration of Candace Owens.
[00:01:09]  Why?
[00:01:10]  And it's also so many, in some respects, one could argue a bit reckless because there were references to family.
[00:01:15]  Well, just, it was off the wall.
[00:01:20]  It was like it was off his meds or something, something was wrong.
[00:01:22]  And he also did this right at the time when Candace had issued her trailer.
[00:01:28]  The trailer, the trailer, that was put out for her series, Bride of Charlie.
[00:01:36]  The trailer.
[00:01:37]  Did I say that enough?
[00:01:39]  The trailer.
[00:01:40]  But I think in the annals of American conservatism or news or whatever you want to call this, I don't know under what rubric he applies, but few figures have risen as meteorically or fallen as spectacularly as one Dan Bongino.
[00:02:03]  Now, you know his CV, his curriculum Vitae, once a Secret Service agent turned fiery podcaster and commentator.
[00:02:12]  Mr. Bongino built a media empire of unyielding distrust of the deep state.
[00:02:21]  One could call them conspiracy-laden, but doesn't make them wrong.
[00:02:26]  I don't use the term conspiracy as a pejorative, but one could say conspiracy-riddled or laden rants against the elite and an unwavering loyalty towards President Donald Trump.
[00:02:42]  His show, The Eponymous, interestingly enough, the Dan Bongino show, became a virtual staple for millions of MAGA faithful and conservatives and the like,
[00:02:56]  where he provided a series of, some would say peddled, I don't want to go that for, but a series of theories that resonated with a base that was starved for validation of their rational and I think most serious suspicions.
[00:03:14]  But by July 2025, as FBI deputy director under President Trump's second term, Dan Bongino found himself at the center of a firestorm over the Jeffrey Epstein case, a scandal, as you know, that exposed his hypocrisy, that eroded his credibility and alienated the very supporters who once idolized him.
[00:03:42]  And this indictment of sorts lays bare Mr. Bongino's reversal on Epstein, the infighting it sparked, and why he has hemorrhaged, hemorrhaged support from not just the, again,
[00:03:55]  we call it the MA base or the Republican base or the conservative base or the Trump base or the irrational American base, which I think we're a part of, but how it transformed him from this truth-telling warrior into a symbol of establishment capitulation, two-faced hypocrisy.
[00:04:18]  But to understand Bongino's downfall, one must first revisit his pre-administration persona, the Bongino, pre-administration persona, the Bongino that we brought or somebody brought to the dance, whatever that analogy is.

=== Conspiracies Unveiled (04:55) ===

[00:04:39]  As a podcaster, as a Fox News contributor, Danny Boy was a vocal proponent of conspiracy theories that were legitimate.
[00:04:50]  But remember, I'm not using them in the pejorative term.
[00:04:53]  I'm not saying crazy conspiracy theories.
[00:04:54]  I mean conspiracies involving two or more guilty people joined in the Confederation of something nefarious.
[00:05:01]  That's a true conspiracy theory.
[00:05:03]  And there were many, many people involved, conspiracies, groups involved in a variety of activities.
[00:05:09]  And most of them surrounded Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death in a Manhattan federal jail cell, a holding center, a holding cell, federal.
[00:05:22]  Think about this.
[00:05:24]  Jeffrey, of course, he was described in so many ways as the disgraced financier, accused of sex trafficking minors and hobnobbing and perhaps gaining favor with and doing favors for powerful figures of the elites.
[00:05:39]  He died under what some people still think are mysterious circumstances that fueled widespread speculation.
[00:05:48]  The only thing that is interesting is the circumstances regarding who, what's the YouTube, oh yes, who redrummed him because it was redrum.
[00:06:01]  Without a doubt.
[00:06:02]  100%.
[00:06:04]  100%.
[00:06:06]  This is not, my opinion, based on speculation, or gee, I think the, I think the idea makes more sense.
[00:06:11]  No, no, no, no.
[00:06:12]  Based upon the forensics, the medical examiner's report, Dr. Michael Biden's finding regarding fractured hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage.
[00:06:21]  Not to mention, I've been through this a million times, a host, a myriad, a mosaic of other particular factors.
[00:06:26]  There was no doubt this was.
[00:06:29]  Okay?
[00:06:30]  Mr. Bongino didn't just kind of dip his toe into the waters to see how things were.
[00:06:36]  He dove in headfirst.
[00:06:39]  And he repeatedly questioned the official self-harm ruling.
[00:06:45]  And he was also implying foul play to protect elite, what's that other word?
[00:06:51]  Oh, yes, PDF files.
[00:06:53]  Can you believe we're having to talk like this?
[00:06:55]  But anyway, you know what I'm talking about.
[00:06:57]  Pretty good, huh?
[00:06:58]  That's the damn thing.
[00:06:59]  Yeah, dad, you go, man.
[00:07:01]  Yeah.
[00:07:02]  That's about it.
[00:07:03]  And for instance, in interviews and on his show, Danny echoed the meme that Epstein didn't self-harm himself, suggesting a substantial cover-up involving shadowy forces and shadow government and deep state.
[00:07:24]  He promised, he promised transparency.
[00:07:28]  And he vowed that under a Trump administration, the truth would emerge victorious, including the fabled client list of high-priced associates who allegedly benefited from Epstein's network.
[00:07:41]  He made it abundantly clear, oh, you want transparency, I'm the guy.
[00:07:48]  And this rhetoric wasn't mere entertainment.
[00:07:50]  It was Bongino's brand.
[00:07:52]  It was who he was.
[00:07:53]  He positioned himself as an anti-establishment crusader.
[00:07:56]  That's what he was.
[00:07:57]  Railing, railing against the FBI and DOJ as corrupt institutions that in effect were shielding the powerful and the criminal.
[00:08:07]  And his audience lapped it up.
[00:08:09]  Oh, God.
[00:08:11]  They viewed him as one of the few voices, the brave voices, brave enough to challenge the narrative.
[00:08:16]  And when Trump won the 2024 election and appointed Bongino as FBI deputy director alongside Director Kash Patel, Another individual who believed in, not irrational, but the idea that there were certainly a lot of evil conspiracies and conspirators involved in this horrible situation.
[00:08:39]  It seemed like a dream team.
[00:08:41]  Like a dream come true.
[00:08:42]  Not only for MAGA or conservatives, but people who believe in the truth.
[00:08:46]  And you thought that too.
[00:08:47]  I did.
[00:08:47]  Wasn't it great?
[00:08:48]  Yes.
[00:08:49]  And good for you, President Trump.
[00:08:50]  Good for you to have the guts and the temerity and the wherewithal and the stones to pick people who have evinced and stated unequivocally that were they to be elected or appointed, I should say, whatever they felt before would maintain their poll star, their credo.
[00:09:10]  I mean, here was their guy.
[00:09:12]  Here was their guy, Danny Boy, infiltrating the deep state to expose its secrets.
[00:09:17]  Oh my God.
[00:09:19]  Attorney General Pam Bondi, another Trump loyalist, amplified, amplified speculations by teasing, teasing on Fox News that Epstein's client list was, here we go, I'm doing a lot of these, sitting on my desk right now.

=== Danny Boy's Betrayal (15:28) ===

[00:09:34]  Remember that?
[00:09:35]  What does that mean?
[00:09:36]  I don't know.
[00:09:37]  It's a list?
[00:09:38]  A list of what?
[00:09:38]  I don't know, but it's sitting on their desk.
[00:09:40]  I hope nobody steals it.
[00:09:41]  Oh, that's an expression.
[00:09:42]  Okay, but that's good news, right?
[00:09:44]  Yeah.
[00:09:44]  So you got Patel, you got Pagino, you got Bondi, it's terrific.
[00:09:47]  And the base buzzed with anticipation.
[00:09:50]  Oh, my God.
[00:09:51]  Finally, vindication for years of these theories and these accusations that went nowhere.
[00:09:56]  But reality, oh, here we go.
[00:09:59]  Reality crashed down in May of 2025 when Bongino and Patel appeared on Fox News, I believe, to debunk the very theories, the very accusations, the very, here we go again, conspiracies, as they call them, that they once promoted, believed, and espoused, and that you and I maintain today.
[00:10:18]  In a joint interview with Maria Bart Tiromo, Danny Boyd declared, quote, I have seen the whole file.
[00:10:27]  He himself.
[00:10:31]  Wait a minute.
[00:10:32]  What?
[00:10:34]  What?
[00:10:35]  Who's this?
[00:10:37]  Is he like a Jim Carrey?
[00:10:38]  When we're wondering, what happened to Jim Carrey?
[00:10:40]  Who is Jim Carrey?
[00:10:40]  We always hear about people changing their personality or being kidnapped or possibly being removed someplace else.
[00:10:46]  Him?
[00:10:48]  And then Patel, of course, in an eye-bulging moment of, I don't know what it is, he just duplicity?
[00:11:03]  He concurred, affirming the self-harm ruling and dismissing redroom as baseless.
[00:11:15]  Remember how you felt?
[00:11:16]  It's like, oh, no.
[00:11:18]  Oh, no.
[00:11:20]  Talk about duplicity.
[00:11:21]  Talk about going back on your word.
[00:11:24]  Talking about abnegating the responsibility that you said you would hold true to, not just to the FBI, but to citizens.
[00:11:32]  And you said this before.
[00:11:34]  You said this as a citizens.
[00:11:36]  You took the people.
[00:11:37]  You said, I want you to understand, I'm with you.
[00:11:40]  I'm who you are.
[00:11:41]  I'm on your side.
[00:11:43]  I'm the guy you want.
[00:11:44]  I know what you're looking for.
[00:11:45]  And I believe in the same thing.
[00:11:46]  And we're going to get to the bottom of this.
[00:11:48]  If we're going to plumb the depths of this corruption, if we're going to find out who's doing what and who's responsible, that's what he said.
[00:11:53]  That's what he promised.
[00:11:54]  Never happened.
[00:11:56]  And the FBI released surveillance footage purportedly showing no one entered Mr. Epstein's cell, though a mysterious missing minute in the video only fueled more skepticism.
[00:12:10]  It's like the Rosemary Woods, I think, the missing tape from the Watergate days, Nixon's tape.
[00:12:16]  Oh, sorry about that.
[00:12:17]  Oh, wait, is that missing?
[00:12:19]  I'll be sorry.
[00:12:21]  Wow.
[00:12:23]  Because they don't care.
[00:12:27]  By July, if you recall, the Justice Department issued a memo concluding definitively that Mr. Epstein perished by self-harm and that no client list existed.
[00:12:40]  The same client list on Pan Bondi's desk.
[00:12:43]  Just they were just transactional records without the, you know, the bombshell revelations promise.
[00:12:51]  Remember that?
[00:12:52]  Do you remember that?
[00:12:54]  This pivot, this pivot was nothing short of a betrayal.
[00:12:59]  Bongino, who had built his career on distrusting official narratives, now parroted them from inside the system.
[00:13:08]  The hypocrisy was glaring.
[00:13:11]  The man who once mocked deep state cover-ups was now defending one.
[00:13:17]  Obvious cover-ups.
[00:13:19]  Supporters of President Trump, again, they called them, I guess, MAGA supporters, whatever you want to call them, but we, all of us, felt gaslit, and we still do.
[00:13:29]  Prominent voices like Tucker Carlson, interestingly enough, ridiculed Bongino on his podcast, laughing, laughing off the declaration and trading alternative theories.
[00:13:42]  Does this sound familiar at all to you?
[00:13:45]  Whom can we trust?
[00:13:47]  And then, of course, the usual subspace on social media just blew up and erupted with accusations of sellout, with hashtags like hashtag Bongino betrayal.
[00:13:58]  They were trending among right-wing, if you will, or conservative circles.
[00:14:03]  Influencers who once praised him now labeled him a rhino, a Benedict Arnold, a Quizzling, or worse, a deep state puppet.
[00:14:15]  A puppet, an actual participant, a co-conspirator, a sock puppet, a proxy.
[00:14:21]  And the loss of support, apparently from him, stems first from his blatant inconsistency with Bongino's audience, how they invested emotionally in the Epstein narrative as proof of a corrupt elite cabal.
[00:14:34]  This is what people believe.
[00:14:35]  We didn't need him to tell us this.
[00:14:37]  We knew it, but he confirmed it.
[00:14:40]  And then by affirming the self-harm and denying the client list, he invalidated, he basically quashed, he removed, he reversed anything, anything that tended to validate their worldview.
[00:14:53]  And as one anonymous influencer, MAGA influencer, told, well, I think it was Axios, the findings blindsided the base, sparking a crisis of credibility.
[00:15:09]  You can put that, you can say that again.
[00:15:11]  It's incredible.
[00:15:12]  So Bongino's reversal, it wasn't just a policy shift.
[00:15:16]  It was personal.
[00:15:18]  Listeners who tuned in daily for his fiery monologues felt duped, betrayed, as if their champion had been co-opted, co-opted by the very forces he vowed to fight.
[00:15:31]  The very forces he decried, the very foes, the forces he said, I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
[00:15:37]  You can trust me.
[00:15:38]  I'm one of yours.
[00:15:39]  I'm a man of integrity.
[00:15:41]  And the erosion of trust, if you wanted to call it that, is quantifiable.
[00:15:45]  It was huge.
[00:15:47]  Podcast downloads plummeted by 30% in the months following the announcement.
[00:15:51]  And according to Nielsen data and his ex-engagement, apparently dropped sharply as followers, unfollowed en masse.
[00:16:03]  Compounding, of course, compounding the hypocrisy of this was the internal Trump administration drama, which painted, by the way, Bongino as petulant and unreliable.
[00:16:18]  It was like yesterday.
[00:16:20]  Reports emerged of a White House blow-up between Bongino and Bondi over the files, the Epstein files.
[00:16:27]  Bongino was described, supposedly, as enraged and furious at Bondi's handling.
[00:16:33]  A raised or what?
[00:16:34]  You signed off on him?
[00:16:36]  And he threatened to resign or even skip work in protest.
[00:16:38]  Oh, imagine that.
[00:16:39]  I'm going to skip work.
[00:16:40]  I'm going to have a sick out.
[00:16:41]  Oh, dear God.
[00:16:42]  The entire federal government, as we know it, the law enforcement sector would come to a street screeching, halt, if Danny Boy, if Blood and Guts didn't show up to do his job.
[00:16:51]  Every day they looked outside is, is his car here?
[00:16:53]  Is he here?
[00:16:54]  Thank God, another day of freedom.
[00:16:57]  So this infighting and this petulance and all this spilled into public view with leaks.
[00:17:03]  I mean, everybody, the Washington Post detailed heated arguments at Oval Office meetings.
[00:17:08]  Take it what, take it for what it's worth.
[00:17:10]  President Trump, who was initially defensive of his team, as you can imagine, being a team leader, grew rather irritated, understandably, by all this squambling.
[00:17:19]  And he publicly backed Bondi and dismissed doubters as weaklings, a jab that indirectly targeted Bongino's lingering sympathies and idiosyncrasies and thoughts and all the like.
[00:17:34]  And what was interesting, for a base that prizes unity and loyalty, above all, this spectacle was embarrassing.
[00:17:42]  And Danny Boy came across not as some kind of a principled fighter, but as a prima donna throwing tantrums and his fits when reality didn't align with his preoccupations.
[00:17:55]  Moreover, my friends, moreover, Danny Boy's appointment itself invited scrutiny.
[00:18:00]  Critics argued it exemplified what I think was incorrect, but people said this exemplifies Trump's cronyism by placing a quote conspiracy theorist in a role requiring impartiality.
[00:18:14]  And before joining the FBI, Bongino promoted the stolen 2020 election theory and hypothesis and other claims, which they still say, and they still right now say is unfounded.
[00:18:27]  Now, so far, interestingly enough, let me explain something.
[00:18:30]  Nothing that he has ever said regarding that is, I think, problematic to us, insane in any way at all.
[00:18:38]  It's funny.
[00:18:40]  The sources who responded to that have a difficult time in understanding that there are people who agree with it 100% or who are open to at least investigating it.
[00:18:48]  Listen, I don't know what happens during all these elections, but I'm sure as hell not going to call that one shut, open and close and shut and all that stuff.
[00:18:56]  And Danny's Epstein flip-flops reinforced the perceptions that he was unqualified, that he was more interested in performative, theatrical and choreographed outrage and yelling and screaming than governance.
[00:19:11]  And the missing minute fiasco in the jail video, they later explained it as a technical glitch, but initially bungled.
[00:19:24]  All of this seemed to many of us underscore and reinforce his incompetence.
[00:19:28]  He has no business doing that.
[00:19:30]  He can't even remember his own script.
[00:19:34]  How do you forget?
[00:19:37]  How do you forget what you said you would do?
[00:19:41]  And you knew, you knew that he had, or maybe he didn't.
[00:19:47]  He would have had to have told the Trump administration, if I get in there, I'm going to continue with what I'm saying before.
[00:19:52]  So if there is a problem, tell me now.
[00:19:56]  So either he didn't tell them that, or they weren't paying attention because, believe it or not, not everybody listens to his podcast.
[00:20:02]  See, but Danny had promised the footage would dispel shenanigans.
[00:20:08]  Yet its release only amplified doubts.
[00:20:12]  It was incredible.
[00:20:14]  Some news folks reported the FBI's scramble to explain the error, and it's not good.
[00:20:19]  It made it look like they were just bumbling and bungling.
[00:20:23]  And the mishandling really alienated even moderate conservatives, folks who were not, you know, not ultra-right.
[00:20:30]  And again, I'm using these terms, right?
[00:20:31]  I'm not even sure what right means.
[00:20:33]  I know what left is.
[00:20:35]  But some moderate folks who expected at least professionalism from the Bureau, they weren't, you know, they weren't bloodthirsty, you know, fangs-bared, red meat-eating MAGA.
[00:20:48]  But the broader rift in MAGA groups, and again, I'm using that because that's what people call it, but in the Trump, in the Trump corridors and the like, this rift really exacerbated and certainly intensified Danny Boy's isolation.
[00:21:04]  And the Epstein controversy destroyed, fractured, shattered the ecosystem, as we say, the conservative pitting true believers against administrative officials.
[00:21:19]  Let me tell you something.
[00:21:21]  A lot of people at the time, a lot of folks amplified the backlash and they accused him of being captured by the deep state.
[00:21:30]  There were so many platforms fought for on Truth Social.
[00:21:35]  Users vented fury.
[00:21:36]  They said, Bongina was our guy, now he's theirs.
[00:21:39]  This sentiment reflects, by the way, a deeper anxiety within not only MAGA groups, but all of ours, but all of us, because I can't speak for you.
[00:21:49]  I'm not MAGA.
[00:21:51]  I don't speak on behalf.
[00:21:52]  Everything I say or do is not looked at and interpreted through the prism of President Trump, though they oftentimes agree.
[00:22:02]  That's not what I'm here for.
[00:22:03]  I'm after the truth.
[00:22:05]  In my particular prism, this truth aspect is shattered.
[00:22:11]  And what the message becomes to most people is that power corrupts even their heroes.
[00:22:17]  So Danny Boy's fall mirrors others, like Mike Pence, who lost favorite big time for his perceived portrayals.
[00:22:27]  But unlike Mike Pence, unlike his, Danny Boy's hypocrisy was self-inflicted.
[00:22:33]  And it was based and rooted in his own contradictory statements, his own hypocrisy.
[00:22:38]  And financially, the fallout has been devastated from over here.
[00:22:41]  Bongito's media ventures or whatever this was, once lucrative with sponsorship and all this kind of stuff, from conservative brands, suffered as advertisers fled because of the stink and the stank and the funk that was associated with him.
[00:22:56]  And these people fled amid the controversy.
[00:22:58]  In fact, his book sales stalled, speaking gigs dried up, as event organizers feared backlash from attendees who were the very audiences that the speaking groups tried To focus on and attract.
[00:23:13]  Ras Mussen polling showed his favorability among Republicans dropped from 68% in January of 2025 to about 42% by August, with the steepest decline among self-identified President Trump voters.
[00:23:30]  Yet, Danny Boy's defenders, few as they may be, and he has them, argue that he was simply doing his job, that he was bound by evidence once in office.
[00:23:40]  But this excuse rings, as we say in the business, it rings hollow.
[00:23:44]  If the evidence was so conclusive, why promote theories like this beforehand?
[00:23:50]  His affirmation, his agreement that it was self-harm, came after reviewing files he claimed to have access to, but skeptics pointed out that the DOG memo reneged on promises of blockbuster revelations.
[00:24:04]  So, did you know about this before or didn't you?
[00:24:07]  What he is is most probably somebody who just says whatever he wants to do.
[00:24:09]  See, everybody wants to be an insider.
[00:24:11]  Everybody wants to say, oh, I know what I'm doing.
[00:24:13]  See, I'm an FBI, I'm a secret service, I'm an insider.
[00:24:15]  I know, I know.
[00:24:17]  Stop this.
[00:24:21]  This is the most important.
[00:24:22]  News sources reported that the video's release was meant to prove self-harm, yet it failed to convince the base.
[00:24:29]  Sure, that did help me at all.
[00:24:32]  They don't even know what they're doing.
[00:24:34]  They put out information and they don't ask themselves, does this make or contradict our position?
[00:24:41]  So, Danny Boy's threats to resign suggested even he harbored doubts, maybe, only to back down under pressure.
[00:24:46]  And in the end, in the end, the figurative indictment against Danny Boy is one of intellectual dishonesty, opportunism, and lying, not having the guts, not being at all tethered to the notion of verity and veracity.

[00:25:03]  He rode the wave of Epstein thoughts and what some people keep calling conspiracies to fame and fortune, only to abandon ship when it suited his career.
[00:25:12]  Think about that.
[00:25:13]  And he went on TV.
[00:25:15]  He went on and said, and he sat there with Kash Patel.
[00:25:17]  Oh, no, no, I know.
[00:25:18]  I know what I'm talking about.
[00:25:19]  Oh, no, believe me.
[00:25:20]  I would have said, I can't do this.
[00:25:21]  I'll quit before.
[00:25:22]  I'll make this.
[00:25:23]  I'll claim health.
[00:25:25]  I'll claim family.
[00:25:26]  I've got to get together with my family.
[00:25:28]  I don't know how old this family is, but I can't go out and say what I know Is not true.
[00:25:37]  Both of them did it.
[00:25:40]  It's almost like people said to Cash, look, we know you're the director.
[00:25:45]  You may have to do this.
[00:25:46]  But Dan?
[00:25:47]  Danny?
[00:25:48]  Pongino, this cost him the base, the trust.
[00:25:55]  And by the way, I'm telling you, there's a group of people right now, and a group of people who represent a contingent of folks who are very much in favor of and support Candace Owens greatly and who view what he's done to be absolutely just despicable, despicable beyond anything anybody's seen.
[00:26:12]  And they're not necessarily Republicans or conservatives.
[00:26:14]  This is even bigger.
[00:26:16]  This is, you know, when you violate trust, this is a currency more valuable than any government title.
[00:26:21]  And as of March of 2026 now, rumors are swirling of his, well, what his next move is.
[00:26:29]  When he stepped out, it was unbelievable.
[00:26:34]  And what I'm hearing more than anything else, what I keep hearing in terms of comments, your comments, your thoughts, what people are saying to me repeatedly is that they can't believe it.
[00:26:43]  What is going on here?
[00:26:44]  What is going on?
[00:26:47]  It's almost as you talk to a lot of people.
[00:26:52]  You talk to a lot of people.
[00:26:53]  You do before you even take positions like this.
[00:26:56]  And one of the things that you would have probably said to somebody is that, listen, I want you to understand something.
[00:27:02]  I want President Trump to understand something.
[00:27:04]  This is what I believe in.
[00:27:04]  This is what I've been saying, and this is what I think.
[00:27:06]  And what I've been saying and thinking and believing up till now is that the self-harm theory, I disagree with.
[00:27:14]  And I can't go out and I can't abide that.
[00:27:16]  I can't.
[00:27:16]  So I'm telling you right now, this is what I'm going to do.
[00:27:18]  So is this going to be a problem?
[00:27:21]  Because if it is, I've got to quit now.
[00:27:23]  I can't change my mind.
[00:27:24]  That's what most people would have said.
[00:27:26]  Most people would have said, I can't do this.
[00:27:28]  But apparently, he thought nothing of just saying, well, no.
[00:27:32]  Sometimes people, and I think you realize this, sometimes people, as in the case of Erica Kirk, they believe that they can say whatever they want.
[00:27:39]  And they believe that either you're too stupid or that their respect and the love that you have for them is so great that they don't even, they just don't worry about this.
[00:27:52]  They don't worry.
[00:27:53]  They're not concerned with any of this.
[00:27:56]  None of this.
[00:27:58]  It's of no concern to any of them.
[00:28:02]  Because they are so loved.
[00:28:04]  They are so monumentally loved.
[00:28:07]  They are so loved.
[00:28:08]  They are so powerful and sexy and handsome and strong and great and smart that your commitment to them remains unerring, continuous.
[00:28:22]  Your belief in them never falters.
[00:28:26]  They think that they are so good.
[00:28:28]  They believe their own storyline.
[00:28:30]  They believe Their own schmaltz, their own con.
[00:28:35]  They believe that you, along others, will love them to such an extent and with such a fervor and such a perfervid commitment and loyalty that nothing can change your mind.
[00:28:49]  Nothing will back you off.
[00:28:50]  But they're wrong.
[00:28:53]  Let me tell you something.
[00:28:54]  We, and I'm going to leave you right now with this.
[00:28:57]  What the Erica Kirk and Candace Omen situation has inspired is the coming together of people who do not necessarily share maybe the same political ideology, maybe not even uninterested politically, but this interest means something out of a tremendous respect for Candace and a tremendous love and respect for the memory and the accomplishments of Charlie and a deep and incredible distrust of this Erica.
[00:29:25]  So there you have it.
[00:29:27]  Again, I still, the Dan Bongino reaction is still unbelievable.
[00:29:35]  And everybody across the board, liberal, conservative, all the news media, everybody realizes that what he has committed was, in essence, perfidy, treachery.
[00:29:45]  He's a quizzling.
[00:29:46]  He turned his back.
[00:29:48]  He didn't have to do this.
[00:29:49]  This is an own goal, an unforced error.
[00:29:53]  What do you think, my friend?
[00:29:55]  What saith you, dear friend?
