The Beast (Ep. 2589)

0:00All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. All right. This is going to be a banger of a show today because we are going to be all over the place. And I mean that in a good way. I've got a retired FBI agent coming up at the end of the show. We're going to discuss everything from the Clancy case to FBI reforms to is there a path to save the FBI? You think, well, that's an odd question coming from you. But it's a fair question. I've never given you some utopia, polyhannish answer. Everything's good and fixed. Stop paying attention. No, no, no. That's not the way a republic works. Vigilance is the cost of a free society. And I mean daily vigilance. Vigilance by the second. Things can change like that if we just give up and say everything. So everything's good now. No. So that's going to be an interesting interview. Stay tuned for that. I've got my first letters from some, I mean, actual letters. I got one right here.

1:00Letters from supporters. I got a letter from a young lady from Florida. I'm going to address that. And some positive and negative feedback I got in an appearance yesterday in Wilkane show where I address the Lindsay Clancy case. I think you know how I feel about it. One more thing right in the beginning, just incredible jobs numbers came out today. Almost three X, the jobs numbers three times for the liberals out there. Created that we thought we were going to be created. So again, I'm just, I'm sorry. I'm not your guy. If you want constant doom and gloom, my life sucks, everything sucks. It's a black cloud. This is not the show. This is not the show. Folks, if you ever had that moment when the check engine light pops on and suddenly you're doing math and you're head about what this repair is going to cost for your car, everything's electronic now. Everything's expensive. There's no more like $100 bumper repairs anymore. Everything's thousands of dollars. I've had those moments. You're sitting there on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. Like what the hell just happened? How much is going to cost? That's why I like car shield.

Fellas, let's go because we got a lot to stack into this next hour and a half hour, 20 minutes, whatever it turns out to be. First, right out of the shoot, it's feel good Friday today. The jobs numbers came out today. Jobs are the heartbeat of economy. Work adds value, not just economic value, but moral value. People want to create human beings want to work and add value. They want to do things. They don't want to sit around and watch freaking fat Barney episode sharing. You know what? Share your assets with the world. Share your incredible intellect or your physical skill or your carpentry skills with the world and create. That's what people want to do. Check this quick clip out. Jobs numbers just broke right before we came on the air. Right Justin? I'm sitting there. I'm in the office getting ready. Lucy's in the office today. The lovely Paul just came to pick her up and I'm like, put this in the show. Here's our Rick Santelli CNBC.

4:01Numbers were incredible. Check this out on your seats, folks. Non farm payrolls for the month of August up 162 K 162,000. That's basically three times what expectations are. That's the numbers were supposed to be about 53,000, which wouldn't be terrible, but you know, wouldn't have necessarily set the world on fire. Those weren't the numbers. The numbers were 162,000. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling you you're living in a golden age right now. I've got a video coming up in a little bit that was launched by Chatchy PT, obviously in AI, you know, Frontier lab. That's going to blow your mind. They launched a new product. I'm not telling you that we shouldn't be cautious about the future of AI. There are obvious cybersecurity issues, biosecurity issues. I'm not telling you any of that. I'm here to give you however both sides of an argument. I just gave you the other side, but they launched a promo video for one of their new products

5:03or about to launch. Set the internet on fire this morning. Folks, you think the economy is good now? If we can manage to maintain with solid guard rails, a hold of AI and not let it destroy our cyber grid or create some bio virus first and as a big threat, no doubt. A black swan event can be very destructive. If we can maintain that and stay out ahead in the technological edge ahead of China and adversaries, you are looking at a tomorrow of abundance like you've never seen. I have never, ever in my life been more optimistic about the economy ever. I haven't. And my entire 51 years on this planet. Well less than that conscious first four years, childhood amnesia, but you get the point. I'll show you the video. You tell me. However, first, yesterday I was on Wilkane show Wilkane's a friend. Wilkane is one of the best shows on Fox. I really enjoy doing a show. It's a 4 p.m. Eastern Fox. I encourage you to check it out. I've known Wil a long time. We used to debate on panels on CNN years ago. Someone showed me a picture of Wil had long hair.

6:05I had longer hair back then too. But I was on his show yesterday as the whole Lindsay Clancy saga where they can't seem to come to a verdict was breaking. I'm going to tell you something. I've done hits on Fox and other radio outlets elsewhere. I get a lot of feedback. A lot of it was on Trump with the Mar-a-Lago raids and elsewhere. I have never done a hit on a non-political issue, you know, true crime, a sports story with it ever, where I got as much feedback as I did last night. I'll give you an estimate, candid breakdown of, you know, I'll show you the hit in a second because I don't want to repeat what I said. It was probably 70% supportive and 30% against. The 30% who were against me on this, who really support Lindsay Clancy. I have to tell you for the first time in a long time, I feel like I've got a good finger on the pulse of both sides of an issue or else the show wouldn't be as successful as it is, right? I don't get it. I don't get how you could defend a woman who admits to walking her three young children

7:09down the stairs to sh-t, sh-t, shrangle them to death. I genuinely don't get it. I read your stuff. I have not responded negatively to people like, shut up. I told you, the long-time listener at this degree, that's okay. You're entitled to your opinion. I get how you'd want to extend, you know, grace to people. That's the Lord Almighty's job. That's not mine. We have a legal system. I'm not talking about the moral arc of history. I am not Jesus Christ, God, the Father, or the Holy Spirit. I have no capability to get in her mind that God knows everything. He's omnipotent and omniscient, all powerful and all knowing. That's not me. I'm none of that. I live in a society of rules and if we can't protect kids and if we can't keep the most innocent among us safe from adults who could do awful things to them, then throw away everything. What matters? Here's what I said yesterday. And I'm telling you I haven't got as many emails ever about a non-political hit on

8:12TV than I did on this one. Check this out. Gross. This is just a disgusting conversation. You know, the facts in this case are not in dispute. And I say to these people who took the time to grab a pen or a typewriter and write some kind of, you know, love note to this lady, I wish you could watch it. I really do. I wish they were video in this. You want to see what that's like? Strangling three kids to death. You want to see what they're probably begging for help, what that look like. If you watch it, do you have to turn away? Well, why do you have to turn? If it was a fiction, an act of fiction on a Netflix show, you would look away at Harrengo. I can't watch this fake mom strangle these fake actor kids. But this is the facts in this case are not in dispute. There is no reasonable doubt about the facts. You know, I'm glad you brought up the analogy. You know, would a man get the same, you know, leeway from a jury that can't seem to figure this out? Do you know how many people come back from overseas?

9:13Our patriots and heroes in our military who see awful, unimaginable things that thankfully will you and I don't have to deal with every day? You know, they come back and they don't strangle their kids. I mean, listen, mental illness is a horrible thing. But how much as a society are we willing to sacrifice to protect this woman's story? I mean, if this is dumbed down, the legal version of what it's like to murder three children, I got to tell you, man, I don't know how you come back from a verdict like this. I think this is why the national attention so focused on this case. I don't, I don't get it. I don't get it. I'm not playing coy or silly with you about this atrocity, this abomination, this active demonic evil. I genuinely don't get it. Explain it to me in the chat. Justin, if you see someone with an alternate perspective who has a reason, and please do not, I'm not saying I'm not interested. I am interested, but not for the purpose.

10:13I am not arguing this on a moral front. What do you mean? One, I think it's demonic and evil. So I've already stated my moral and ethical judgment. You may say this happened and that happened before. I'm talking about the legal system. The legal system. This is going to be up to God Almighty to judge this woman, not you or I. If a legal system allows this, allows this, folks, how do we stand as a society? You want to know why the nation's attention is focused on this? Think about what I just said. Paul and I, by the way, Paul who thinks this is repugnant too, Jasmine and the whole team is unanimous. I asked the guys, I'm like, does anybody have an alternate perspective here? I said, area grievances, though. No one here has to agree with me on anything. I don't fire anyone for an alternate political idea. Anyway, everyone hears unanimous. Nobody even under, I can't even understand the other side.

11:14Because think about what I said. There's a friend of mine. I covered when I had my show on Fox unfiltered. He wrote an email to me once. He had served overseas in a war theater. He's a tough guy. I guess I can say, because he gave me permission, but I was his instructor in the Secret Service Academy. He was in one of my classes, what they call SATC, special agent training classes. This guy was, he was a badass. Didn't talk about it. Matter of fact, the entire six months we had him in training in Maryland and our training academy, I think he may have said 20 words to me. But he wasn't rude. He just, PT studed everything just a quiet guy. I didn't find out about his combat history until later. Very nice guy, but again, a guy who didn't say anything.

12:16I bring this up because years later, 10 years later, we had kept contact, but not often on email. He emails me one day and I read the email with his permission on my Fox News show about what he saw. I cried when you read his letter a few years ago, W McKinney 21. You remember that? I did too. I think we had to recut that a little bit. The letter was horrifying. He has a dog, it's hard for me to talk about it. Listen, I don't care. I'm not interested in people make, oh, Louis is getting a little choked. I really don't give it damn. But never take the man card. I don't really care. He has a daughter. I have a daughter. They're not that far apart in age. And he's like, I wake up with these nightmares about the pink mist and I'm thinking, what the hell is the pink mist? Like, I was never in their military. I don't know what the pink mist is.

13:16Pink mist is where, you know, one of your battle buddies, fellow Marines or fellow soldiers, they step on a mine and they explode into a pink mist of blood. It's like the things they used to do to kids that you'd see and witness animals and elsewhere. He's like, I'm sorry, man, it's hard to even talk about. The episode may be on YouTube, so I don't know, but it's hard to watch. But I wanted to read the whole thing so you understand the burden, our heroes, heroes, not comic book heroes, real world heroes who do this for you. They come back, forget the physical scars. Our congressman, he lost both of his legs. Joey Jones and Fox lost both of his legs. They did that for you. They didn't do it for them. No one goes over there and goes, hey, I want to lose my leg. That doesn't happen. They go over there and do this for you, for our flag, for our mission. There would be no United States without people willing to defend it. We'd be invaded tomorrow. They would steal everything, our food, our gold, our water, everything.

14:22Forget about the physical damage for a second. They come back with mental and emotional scars that ladies and gentlemen, I can almost guarantee you they'd rather physical damage. Say take an arm, take a finger. I can't deal with this anymore. They've seen things, listen to me, and I'm not talking to our veterans or military folks, obviously. I'm talking about people like you and I that have never served in a combat zone. You will never see or understand. You won't and I won't either. They live with this every day. This guy wrote me this horrifying email. He wakes up with nightmares and he thinks about his daughter and everything he had to see and witness, seeing the true evil of humankind. But this guy loves his daughter. He's not murdering her. So I'm really genuinely sorry that women and men go through black cloud depression, hormone

15:25and balance is postpartum depression, over medication with psychoactive drugs is unquestionably a problem. Ladies and gentlemen, it changes nothing in my mind. Legally, sorry, I'm having a bit of a hard time that I thought it is. Legally speaking, if we cannot protect our kids from being strangled to death by their parents or anyone else and we're going to water down the legal explanation, forget it, the republic is lost. And I'm sorry, I respect your ability to have an opinion on the matter. I know a lot of these people, it comes from a different place. You know, well, Christ forgave the good thief on the cross. You're not Christ. He knows things. You don't. The creator will judge in the end. You kill your kids. You got to go to jail. I didn't expect that segment to go that long, especially being that I've already had

16:29this back and forth probably five or six times this morning with even some really strong supporters of mine. But I told you, if I get emails and communications with people who say, Dan, I think you're wrong, that's okay. This is not the NPC show. And W. McHenry, I'm glad you saw that. And I strongly encourage you all, if Justin can ever find the link. Maybe we can find that for next week that unfiltered segment. And he was there when it happened. I'll play it for you. I'll play for you the reading of this guy's email. And you tell me like these guys don't come back and kill their kids. If they do, they go to jail in the extremely rare occurrence, it happens. And they are dealing with mental trauma. You have no idea. Mental trauma. You can't ever Medicaid away. They did that for you. Thank you to our military and veterans in this chat on the radio, listening, listening

17:30on X. God bless you and all you've done for us. I pray to the Lord Almighty one day you find peace too. I can't imagine what you suffer through. All right. As I said, I've got a retired FBI agent who was a police officer as well before coming up later in the show. My friend John Nance from Town Hall and we'll discuss some of this in the beginning of the show, how the culpability component and how this is already factored into the legal system, ladies and gentlemen. If you kill people accidentally, that mens rea criminal mind component is already factored in. Okay. You know what? I got to take a break before we, I'm sorry. My apologies, folks. I usually have a better idea flow, but that segments a lot for me because it's for the first time in Eons as I've repeated now three times. I genuinely don't understand the other side. I don't understand what you could be thinking. I don't.

18:31And by the way, it's not, some people said to me, oh, is it all women who are, who are it's simple, no, I've had a couple of guy friends of mine too. Well, Dan, you don't understand. No, I understand just fine. No one's disputing the facts. All right, quick break and we'll get to some good news. And I have to tell you also, I told you I'd, I'd always give you the author perspective. Justin, wouldn't you agree we've got to take a huge L, the title of today's show. Sometimes you buddy DB, when I got to drop the L folks, the loss, I got to drop the loss. And in this case, I've clearly lost. And I'll show you what I mean. Coming up in a second, hey, so many brands today claim to stand for American values, but most of the time it's all talk and no action. That's what makes Patreon mobile different. For more than 12 years, Patreon mobile has been living their values and standing in the gap for Americans who believe in freedom and faith that it's all worth fighting for. Their business was founded on a simple conviction. If culture's being shaped, do commerce, Americans deserve a real conservative alternative.

19:31Today, Patreon mobile is one of America's only Christian conservative wireless providers. Here's the catch folks. I love what this company stands for. However, they provide really fantastic service. That's a key. They offer higher priority nationwide service on any of the three major US networks with unlimited data plans, free international calling over 200 countries, and a 100% US-based customer support team that's fantastic. There's no reason to not switch to Patreon mobile. They believe in you. They believe in the country and they provide excellent service. Every year, Patreon mobile contributes millions of dollars to organizations defending free speech, religious liberty, and sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and America's future. They do that because they believe in it. I know the owners and managers there, they're amazing people. For a limited time, Patreon mobile is offering a back-to-school special of 50% off all wireless plans for three months. It's a great deal for terms and information. Go to patreonmobile.com slash bongino or give them a call at 972 patriot. Use promo code bongino50, B-O-N-G-I-N-O 5-O bongino 50 for 50% off all wireless

20:35plans for three months. Or give them a call at 972 patriot and make the switch today. It's fantastic. Check it out. Thank you, Patreon mobile. All right. Back to the show. First, maybe we should give it a… Let me just tell you how I am always about being open and honest with you. I've been on the air over a decade. When I've got to take it out on something, I'll take it out. Served over a decade in the Secret Service, the majority of my time on protection. When you're a Secret Service agent, you split your time typically between investigative work, on counterfeit credit card cases and electronic crimes and protection. I'd say about two-thirds of your careers in investigations, a third in protection. I spent five plus years on protection and most of my time was in what they call T.S. No, not top secret. Transportation section. Motor Cades, logistics. I loved it. We used to call ourselves wheelmen. I'm sure they still do. I love being a wheelman. I was the whip over there. I spent two tours over there. So I know a good amount about motor Cades. One of the things I always found funny was how the media people would call the presidential

21:38limo, the beast. We never called it that. It was a joke. We used to laugh at media people. However, I made a big issue about this jokingly for the P1s. And then President Trump adopted the term and likes it. He's the president. I didn't get elected. So President Trump calls it the beast. I'm taking the L. Now, I think they're just rubbing it in. This is not AI. The next thing is AI. We're going to show you and the future of AI. This is not AI. This is a real movie coming out. I think Hollywood got together with some people who are like, this guy's not only going to take the L. He's going to eat the L. Like, we're going to force the L. We're going to write L on a piece of paper and force him to eat it. This is a real trailer from a movie called The Beast. I lost. I'm going to watch. Oh, shit. Samuel L.

22:40Snakes on a plane in it. Die hard direction. Fuck that motherfucker. Come on, Fang, or I like that movie slide. I have to try to stab the beast. That's not how I get over there. I don't know, but it was close. Take these motherfuckers out. Wow. Look at that. Got Gatling guns in the back. And every president's having a, I guess Samuel L is the T.S. agent. Motherfuckers. All right. So, Sam, is he the president? I don't even know. Who's the dude in the back? Why is the president trying? I don't know. I saw this yesterday. I take that back. Precision matters. I did not see this yesterday. I was actually working out my gym after which I never do. And I'm sitting and producer Jim sent me this yesterday. With the text, they're just rubbing it in now. So, I'll take the L. I lost. Congratulations. It is now officially The Beast going for it. All right.

23:40Back to some serious stuff. You, P1s, you've lived this whole beast experience with me for a decade. It's got a funny story. I'm not, Motley's directed at me in the chat. I will eat the mutli's. We actually have a Motley in the back. I can't physically eat it. It would be disgusting. But if it was like a candy Motley, I would eat it. No, don't get any ideas. I know these guys, too. Yeah, it's a jasmine. Don't get them a candy. Motley's in the chat. Directed at your friendly neighborhood host, DB. Yes, I lost that one. Okay. I did not lose this one. Moving on. I have told you often that, yes, listen, we as a society have problems that are, we're never going to solve problems. We are going to mitigate the damage from problems. We're never going to eradicate poverty where no one's poor. There's always going to be a bottom 20%. It's a topology. You want to make the bottom 20% as rich as possible. But there's always going to be a bottom 20% because there's always going to be someone richer.

24:41Okay. So, you're never going to eradicate completely starvation because there's always going to be some communist, fascist, tyrannical government that's going to use food as a weapon and starve there. People, you do your best to mitigate the problems. I'm just telling you that you are living in a golden age now where if you are my age, say 50, midlife, you are about to witness. All right. Let me get this right. If I screw this up, don't ever watch the show again. All right. Because I don't deserve your attention. If you're halfway through your life, I could make the case to you now that there has been no better time in human history where we've been around to be alive than right now. No, sure, no, no, I'm not kidding. You are going to be the generation that sees artificial quantum computing versus the 1980s, 1970s and 1990s where there was no internet at least in the 80s and 70s, no internet at

25:43all to speak of. You are going to see pre-AI humanity, pre-complex computing humanity and post-complex human, your kids won't. Your kids have only known advanced computing and only know AI and quantum computing going forward. It is a, you have seen, you are alive right now, 40s or 50s where you're going to have seen both and you're going to be like, holy moses, this is crazy. I want to show you, and it's a hype video, so you know, some of it maybe hype may not be. But a lot of people in the AI space who are actually using this new chat GPT product are like, oh boy, like this thing is now, it's not making gains like two to four to six to eight. Let's go in like two to four to 16 to 32 to 62,000, like by the minute. It's not even exponential geometric. It's like geometric on top of geometric to rate a change. Here's their latest video just pop this morning, light me internet on fire.

26:47And it starts a little bit like, okay, no big deal. The guy asked the AI to draw a rocket chip. Watch where it goes. I want you to see this because if even 50% of this is true, ladies and gentlemen, can you imagine what the future is going to be like in five years? We may eradicate disease, have materials we never imagine, have abundant energy where we never even saw it before. What a time to be alive. All right, check it. Can you draw me a small yellow circle? Done. Okay, take this and make it the window of a rocket ship. I like this. Can you make it a lot more detailed? Your yellow circle is now the window on a rocket. Okay, this is awesome. Now make it a 3D model in blender. Opening blender. Let's build a presentation for next season's rain wear for retailers. Make sure that it feels really high end and that it's colorful.

27:51Make it fun. Right, I can help with that. Can you make this listing of this table I bought a few years ago at Flea Market? It's this wild orange table. Sure. Okay, yeah, this is awesome. Now I want you to make a 3D game where I'm ducking asteroids using the arrow keys to move around and I'm using space to boost. Yep, I'm building the game. Also, I'm a little hungry. Can you get me some beef and rice from that spot I ordered from last week? Looking into ordering food. Can you change the background color to compliment the rain jackets? Oh, I love it. And what's going on with my reservation? I found an open court at 5pm. Yeah, book it. Now I want you to make a file. I can send to my 3D printer. I'll get working on creating an STL file of this rocket. Folks, I can't emphasize enough as your friend that yes, there are obvious dangers and

28:56perils with any new revolutionary technology from electricity to flight. There was a danger with electricity of what? Your house burning down and pre industrial revolution rudimentary electricity was dangerous. Until guard rails and safety enhancements were made. You know, flying and planes was not that safe. The rate of crashes when we first, you know, after Kitty Hawk was through the roof. But we made changes, society events. There's no doubt there's massive threats on the horizon we need to mitigate. Why this is why I'm so adamant that we cannot lose this race to evil foreign actors who will use it for bio weapons and other things. I'm telling you, if we can get a hold of this thing and we can get this thing to, not want to say solve problems because I'd be refuting my own premise. But to mitigate the effects of persistent human problems, you're going to live in an ear of abundance like you've never seen before. And you uniquely in your 40s, 50s and 60s, you're going to have seen both.

30:01I'm not doing the doom and gloom stuff, folks. I'm just not. I've told you over and over. I voted for this presidency. I voted for exactly what he did. I voted for 162,000 jobs today. You know, I voted for a manufacturing renaissance. I voted for a closed border. I voted for drug interdictions. I voted for a massive violent crime crackdown. I voted to crack down on V.Cac violent crimes against children. I voted to crack down on CCP agents in this country on counter terror cells, on politically motivated organizations that were using their power to commit federal crimes. I voted for all of that. I voted for all of that. And I wake up every morning to just a new piece of good news I choose to focus on. I don't eliminate the bad stuff. I just talked about the Lindsey Clancy. He's a horrible case. Certainly no way to wake up and happy, happy joy, joy on a Friday. However, I'm not going to eliminate the good stories either.

31:02Remember, tend we live in some kind of apocalypse like the end of the times is coming. Here's President Trump. I played this on the radio show yesterday. For those of you who don't know the national radio show, the monologue in the beginning, the monologue is different. I do a different piece of unique content for radio. And producer Jim had brought this up to me yesterday. He's like, Dan, how'd you miss this? I said, I don't know. That's why I have you for Jim. He's like, I think President Trump was hitting the doumers yesterday when he gave this a quickie speech. Here's President Trump at the White House talking about the amazing things that happened. This is only like 30 seconds long. And you're like, if you listen to the doom and gloom all the time, you're like, man, I had forgotten about a lot of this stuff. It's a pretty damn good time to be alive. Don't listen to me. Listen to him. Check him out. 19 months, we've achieved more than any administration in the history of our country. This is the best start to a presidency in terms of production that we've ever had in this country. The stock market has hit 80 all-time record highs in just a year and a half. Think of that.

32:03So it's hit 80 all-time record highs since the election. American exports are at the all-time high. So exporting. That's a good thing because you're making it and you're exporting it. We're manufacturing things. In other words, again. So they're at the highest they've ever been exports. Think of that. That's a big one. And a very big one also is today we have more Americans working than at any time in the history of our country. I mean, there are a couple of sound bites, but that one on exports because nobody thought that would be possible. So I've been saying $19.2 trillion is coming in for the last few months. We just got a new two months added on. Now it's over $20 trillion is being invested in our country. There's no country in history that's ever even been close. It's four or five times greater than any country. And they're building factories all over in Ohio, in Texas, in every place.

33:03Everybody that's sitting here is having factories built where it wasn't even thinkable. There's never been anything like it, what's happening in our country. Our border is secure. I remember I got maybe elected partially, certainly partially because of the border. We had millions of people, 25 million people in four years under Sleepy Joe Biden. Now I saw someone in the chat who just mentioned this. And listen, again, I'm not mad at you. I'm not trying to like, you know, I'm not asking people to like, you know, hoard you in the chat and then so someone brought up in the chat just now. They said, hey, listen, but we're still $40 trillion in debt. Correct. You were 100% correct. Point's stipied. I'm not a lawyer. Point stipulated. It's not a courtroom pretend it is. I stipulate the point. Justin, we never covered the national debt in this show, right? He's like laughing. We only cover it like once or twice a week. It's a big problem. I'm just asking you not to ignore it. God forbid we've been talking about it for 10 years.

34:04Democrats or Republicans, George Bush, Barack Obama, Biden, President Trump. We've been talking about the debt on this show forever. If Judy, audience archivists, if you're bored, give me a tally of out of the 2000 plus shows, how many times you mentioned a national debt. I'll bet it's something like 200 or more. I'm just telling you perspective wise, you would have a national debt growing even higher under President Kamala Harris. No growth at all. Folks, one of the only ways to get out of this, one of the best ways to get out of this. We're going to have to cut spending, yes. Is going to be to grow out of it. Give me a quick example. You got a job for $30,000 a year, you're $100,000 in debt. You're in a world of trouble, correct? Yes, we are. Let's say you get a job for $2 million a year. You have the same debt, correct? The debt hasn't changed. It doesn't matter, in fact, you still owe $100,000. But is the debt the problem it was when you were making 30 or making a couple million?

35:04The debt's not as big of a problem. We have an inordinate amount of debt I address often. I'm just asking you to keep it in perspective. Why would this matter? What are you doing, Dan? You're trying to put a shine on us. I'm not. You have a choice coming up between one side that wants to add to the debt and not grow anything, which is going to create a fiscal apocalypse tomorrow. I don't care what AI does. Before you have another party that has not been great on the debt, the Republican, I give that to you. But at least it's focused on growing the economy to try and get out of this. And I think this is a golden age to be alive. Or you could vote for the other side. We always bring receipts. You got President Trump talking about you just heard the clip. I'd play it again, but I want a boy. You can rewind it. Border closed, crime down, manufacturing back, 20 trillion in investment. He just laid out the receipts. Here are the receipts for the other side. Here's a sitting member of Congress, Jason Crowe. What do they want to do if you vote for them?

36:06Forget about the debt for a second. That's a huge problem. They want to clog up your government for the next two years, impeaching basically everyone in the Trump administration. President Trump, Pete Hague-Seth, Joey Bagadona, it's the Assistant Undersecretary for Undersecretaries and the Undersecretary Division of Undersecretaries. They want to impeach everyone. You have a choice. The world's a complicated place. Not everything is going to be like, yes, yes, yes, yes, this is all great. You have a choice. Republicans who may not have all the solutions to your problems, but aren't the cause of your problems, and Democrats who are going to go right back to the stuff you voted against to weaponize government at Trump versus Harris election. Here they are in their own words. Here Jason Crowe on impeachment. They can't get away with this. They're obsessed with this. Check this out. You support impeaching Pete Hague-Seth. Is that a good use of resources? Potentially. Potentially. We have to look at where we are, whether or not we take both chambers, what tools are available, we will press aggressively oversight. I'm going to go after corruption in the Department of Defense.

37:07I'm going to go after the cronies and the sick of fans who are taking taxpayer dollars that should be going to our service members and instead putting into their pockets. I'm going to be relentless about that, whether that includes impeachment and other tools. That's what we're going to have to assess after November 3rd. Now in November 3rd, I am laser focused and we're taking the majority because our democracy and our service members depend on it. Dude, he's, everybody, he's laser focused. Yeah, he's laser focused on what? Laser is a concentrated beam of light on impeaching Pete Hague-Seth. This is your thing. Folks, this is not the gaslighting show. I don't isolate you from the truth. I just read a comment on the air about a legit problem we do have that's not solved. The debt. Nobody on this show is telling you we don't have some clouds on the horizon we need to address. Nobody. I am only bringing up the good news with the bad news because I think on margin on net,

38:08the good news about the border, the good news about the economy, the good news about violent crime, that that outweighs the problems we have. Crow isn't concerned about any of that. They're going to get into office. I see Justin doing his air squats out of the corner of my eye. I have staff staying in good healthy shape. Jason Crow wants to impeach like the entire Trump cabinet to the Democrats out there who may be persuadable, may have voted for President Trump in the past and may be persuadable. I'm asking you a serious question. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm not telling you you need to love Republicans, love President Trump, love the damn Bon Geno Show. You may hate us all. Is this what you, if this is what you want, then yes, vote for the Democrats. You think this is addressing affordability, the national debt, healthcare costs, thanks to Obama-Care going through the roof, the public education issue we have, when we can't even teach a kid to read in Baltimore, you think this is going to help impeaching Pete Hankseth? You got a kid in Baltimore who can't freaking read, bro. Go tell the parents of John Smith, Jr.

39:11Hey, Papa John Smith, your kid can't read. He's in sixth grade. But we're going to impeach Pete Hankseth. This is what you want. I'm asking you a question. It's not an assertion. If your answer is yes, then vote for the Democrats. Oh, damn, that's just one guy. Okay, here's another one. Let's go across the country to New Hampshire. Here's this lady running for Congress, Paige, whatever, Bo Sharoujee, I don't know the hell it all, who cares? Running in New Hampshire, here she has asked a question, again, about her priorities. If they get in there and the answer is the exact same. In peach, we can play these all day. Check this out. Representative Bo Shman, you've said you'll file articles of impeachment against President Trump on day one when you get to Washington. For viewers tonight, can you explain what you see as the high-crime or misdemeanor you believe the president's committed this term? And also how you'll convince other members to join your impeachment efforts when many other members have also promised to file their own articles of impeachment. Yeah, sure.

40:11Thank you. It's really hard to narrow it down and I didn't bring my running list. So I'll just say that pretty much everything that Trump is doing has, there's a problem with it. And what I will continue to say about that is I am a part of a group called the Courage Candidates. We have all pledged to impeach on day one. And so this isn't just me. This is a group of people. And yeah, we all have primaries. We all still have our elections. And as many of us who go through, we will have those articles ready. We will stand together. The Courage Candidates, this is the picture of courage right here. Why do they always look like this? Every single time. Why is the phenotype the same every time? This and man, I don't have a beef with nose rings, whatever.

41:15But the double nose arruski with the red Jackie O glasses and the big hoop are earrings. What's your name page? Boozulini. This is your pride, the courage. We have so much courage. What's your name? Boozulini? New Hampshire too. Boozulini. Boozulini. Boozulini. Boozulini. Boozulini. Boozulini. Boozulini. Whatever. This is your candidate. You've got Donald Trump. Shots the border down. Crutches violent crime. 20 trillion investment. 162,000 jobs. And you've got page. Boozulini. Double nose arruski. Running for Congress on it. Courage candidates. We're going to get in there and impeach the president. You're really, that's interesting. You're not worried about Iran, gas prices, affordability, school choice, protecting life, the second amendment, the constitution, the rule of law, violent crime.

42:17Oh no, no. Boozulini is a courage candidate with the double nose arruski. And she's got her agenda. Her and the courage candidates are going for impeachment. This is your choice, bro. It's your choice. You want the Trump agenda and freaking jobs and save streets and a non-open border of people invading our country. You want Boozulini with the double nose arruski. You can't do that. You can't do the Doris L. You didn't light it up right. That would be really, that would be a real problem. You guys are horrible. If you're listening on an audio, you missed that. You got to watch on Rumble. I'm sorry. You guys are terrible. Your soul should rot in Hades for that. I really don't ever do that again. Andy. Ever.

43:17Andy said, well, was that you or was that Justin? That was Justin. Justin, you have to fire you if you ever do that again. Your choice. Can we get a campaign sign Andy, Boozulini or Trump, your choice? Can we do that? Let's just make this. And for those of you who are here for the show like the Fresca episode and Karate Man and everything else, we're all this one down. You'll have witnessed Boozulini Trump and you'll know what it means. Hades, in the chat. You've got a choice. Boozulini or Trump. I know I'm voting for. I know I'm voting for. The guy who gets stuffed on versus double nose arruski. Boozulini. And then you've got this lady. I saw this clip yesterday. Folks, they're doing it again. Is there anything? Again, question for the audience. Is there any issue out there, liberal media goofballs will not blame on rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrschism? Anything. Anything. This is gotta be a new low for the rate, hustling crowd out there.

44:21This is the Atlantic, like that speaks for itself. Annie Lowry, by the way, I got an update on the raw story, which is great, which is awesome, correction number, whatever. We always win, always. Just tell the truth, and you wonder what the problem is. Here's at Lanix Annie Lowry. I don't think she's got the double nose Aruski, but they always look like this, okay? Annie Lowry, setting the narrative already for government run healthcare. So let me blend the layout of the tactical battlefield. Now we're gonna handle this. The Democrats now settled on a narrative. The narrative for stealing your healthcare plan from your employer or the one you purchased yourself that you may like, you may not, but a lot of Americans, it's expensive, but they like their health. They don't want government healthcare. Read the polls. I'm not telling you it's not expensive, Obamacare screwed up the market, but can we agree in the chat that a lot of you would like to keep your plan and don't want government healthcare? Correct? Some of you may not, however, I'm open to all opinions.

45:22People, though, especially unions who bargain for them do not want their healthcare plan canceled. The Democrats understand they have a problem because the bill they're pushing in the Buzirouski double nose Aruski versus Donald Trump election, pick your choice. Buzirmani, pick your choice. Is the Buzirmani's not only one who went peach president Trump and Pete Hegset, but they also want to cancel your healthcare plan and they don't know how to message this to America. So they've settled on a new narrative now that the original goal of allowing free market healthcare and you to pick your healthcare rather than the government was definitely racism that they just wanted to keep black people from healthcare. You're like, no, yes, no, no, yes, receipts in coming, check this out. You mentioned the socio-economic factor. You also pick up on race as well. What evidence did you find on that front? Part of the reason that we do not have universal, simple benefits systems in this country,

46:25like some of our peer countries have is because we were creating those programs often during Jim Crow. And we wanted to have ways to get benefits to some people, but not others. Jim Crow, of course, was a time when we invented a huge number of administrative burdens to make sure that black folks in the South couldn't vote, but white folks could when we couldn't legislate a rule saying that you cannot vote if you're black. So instead they come up with all of these bureaucratic procedural things to make sure that white families can vote, black families cannot. Holy Moses, is there a single issue in the cosmos? The Democrats will not try to use races or casual. Let me answer that question for you. No. Did that lady have the double nose or risky? Can we get a zone? I don't think I didn't get you any. This is the Boojimani Trump election. We are going to cancel your health care plan. Donald Trump is trying his hardest, he's getting prescription drug prices down, trying his hardest to control Obamacare's infiltration

47:27of the health care market, destroying the market. And you've got the Boojimani class saying, you know what, we're going to cancel your health care because it's definitely racist. The irony is everything she's talking about was a Democrat idea. And the urepolitical science guy, who was in charge in the Jim Crow South, what political party at the time? And he's like, hold on, let me try, let's try anthropic this time, or Jim, oh, the Democrats, the demon rats were in charge. That's right, that's so weird. That's so weird, Annie, from the Atlantic, she avoids that whole thing, that it was the Democrats who were in charge in the Jim Crow South, trying to keep black families from voting and supporting, that's so weird. That's so weird she avoided that. It wasn't intentional, right? And he's like, no, it wasn't. She didn't do, it's just an oversight folks. Shhh, rug, rug. Annie, go get the double nose and Rusky. If they get the glasses too, and the whole like thing, you know, do the whole thing. There we go, here's a look for you.

48:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, how does that AI? That didn't really happen during the debate, didn't it? Boojim Rusky, do not do that. Do not cautionary note at home, you got the double nose and Rusky. Do not stay far away from Duracelle batteries. Don't do it. You've got the Boojim Rusky Trump election. You want your healthcare plans canceled or not? Folks, the greatest irony of Annie Lowry from the, I know the chat, this show is off the rails today. Can I just thank you in advance? These are things you're never supposed to say in the show, but I don't really care because we never follow the rules ever. This day, the day before like a long, labor day weekend, this is probably the worst time for content for every single cable news show has a guest host. Everyone's away for endless, I'm even going away. I'm taking a short trip this weekend with the family. I'm glad you are too. I swear to you, I said to myself, there's no way we're gonna fill a stadium to your 40,000 people, no way. And there's 42,600 here right now.

49:29I love you guys. I just, I can't say that enough. I get such an honor to talk to you. I just, I hope you don't think this is some stick on point on a month. I can't believe you're all here at 10 o'clock on this long, labor day weekend. There should be seriously 2,000 people here. And the stadiums blow it up again. Motley's at the chat, having a good time. I love you guys. You guys are the best. You really are. The best audience in the business hands down. I want to just refer you to an article because the irony of what Annie Lowry and Buzerousky and all these Democrats keeps saying, is they keep pointing out these problems that the government caused. And especially big government Democrats, Jim Crow, that was a Democrat thing, okay? That was a Democrat thing. Obama care, healthcare costs are under rise. No Sherlock, no kidding. Health care's on the rise because Obama care created a community rating and guaranteed issue and eliminated risk adjustment and made everybody pay higher prices. Obama did this. The cost of education is too much.

50:30Well, get the government out of it. Stop it from screwing up our public schools. You know, young minority kids can't get jobs. That's because the schools in these minority districts can't train them. Do you guys get a freaking clue? Here's an article you got a bookmark. It's from 2015 when I first started doing the show. I think the show started, Judy, if you know when audience are archives, you know, my mom's the name God rest her soul. But I think the show started the damn bunch, you know, podcast, forgive me. I don't even remember. In February of 2015. So I covered this article only a few months after I started. Go look it up, WSJ.com, Wall Street Journal. Baltimore's not about race, May 4th, 2015 by William McGurne. It's an amazing piece. Because it tells you exactly what I was talking about. That inner city African-American communities that suffer disproportionately from crippling social pathologies that make upward mobility difficult and they do is in large part because they've disproportionately been on the receiving end of a five decade long progressive experiment in government beneficence.

51:33In other words, government, big government, if you're trading into their lives. And he proves it in the piece by saying that this is not about race because when you look at white communities that have big government footprints in them, how do we know? I'll just read it. Because when we look at a slice of white America that was showered with the same government good intentions, we find the same dysfunctions. Greater dependencies, single parent families, and the absence of good private sector jobs and only a growing economy can create. The Democrats are doing this to you. Do you want more of this Boojimani stuff? The double nose are rude. Or do you want Donald Trump who's giving us the hard medicine, but the truth? You want the economy to grow? We got to get more people to work. You want the economy to grow? We can't pay people not to work. You want the economy to grow? We're going to have to support manufacturing and technology growth in the United States. He doesn't tell people the easy answer. He tells them the right one. Folks, we got a choice going forward.

52:34Government is the cancer in your life. Now, the government does some things with patriots. I just extoll the virtues of our military and good law enforcement beginning to show. Thank God for our cops, our firemen, our EMTs, our military, army, Navy, Space Force, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard. Thank God, thank God, I don't use this name in vain. Thank you, Lord, for the patriots who do this. Government does that because government has to do. We can't have a mercenary workforce. And thank God for that. Government should be involved in almost nothing else because everything government touches, it destroys. Because there is no reason to make it better. Folks, every time we point out a problem with big government, Democrats and liberals, what are the Democrats? They go to this racism stuff because it's simply a distraction. The good news is a huge chunks of people have now completely like, the minute they hear this stuff from Annie Lowry and by the way, I had to media research center for that clip, the minute they hear this, they just zone them out. This used to stick maybe 30 years ago.

53:35Justin, you're not holding up many of you in the chat are. I'm just telling you, like years ago, if you were to put this stuff on the air, this crap, it was a death sentence if you were accused of being a racist. So many people were accused of it over time, however, no one even believes it anymore. No one even believes it anymore. I want to show you a clip from CNN too. Because one of the things we found, which I'll discuss with retired FBI agent, supervisor, special agent John Nance, coming up next, one of the things we found at the FBI is that this pernicious disgusting, liberal progressive socialist ideology about the white supremacist around every corner, trying to keep you from healthcare when it was like a Democrat thing that it infected the FBI too. That was done. The second we got there, you either got on the train for reformer, you got the hell out. So why we 10% of the workforce turned over. Some of them just couldn't take it. He was a clip on CNN for you. You'll see exactly what I mean. With them trying to like squeeze the square white supremacy peg

54:38into every round political hole possible, check this out. That is my advice. Is get out there, go on offense, say who you are, but also be very clear about who James Televiko is. I mean, do you think it's okay that he said that white men are the biggest domestic terrorist threat for the country? Wait, does he campaign on that? Or was there some comment from like 2019 that was kind of cringes that we've all been opposed? Oh, so people aren't held accountable for their past comments. Ken Paxton in very, very recent history. Of course, I don't agree with that, but James Televiko isn't running on that. When James Televiko and Ken Paxton are facing off, they're talking about the economy, while Ken Paxton is cheating on his wife, James Televiko is talking about money and politics, while Ken Paxton is taking money out of the hands of his voters. Like you realize his own staff. Who cares? This is just such a matter of time. What are you talking about, Frank? You got a guy running for office in Texas, who doesn't believe in capitalism and thinks there's a white supremacist around every single coin that you're talking about. You know, I'm not talking about that. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about a white supremacist around every single corner. And this guy, the other guy, doesn't even think this is a big deal. You got a choice. Pooja Monty, Trump. You have a choice. It's your choice. Folks, and things are happening every single day.

55:41Did you catch this one yesterday? Now, again, in advance, I believe in the Republic, everyone is legally presumed innocent until guilty in a court of law. However, this was a fascinating news story yesterday again for the tumors and gloomers. Nothing's happening ever. Great hit by the FBI and director of Patel yesterday. Apparently, there were some allegations of a threat towards President Trump. Well, that didn't really end well. I don't know if you missed this story, but you're going to see it here. Great job by the FBI. Check this out. We're breaking right now. An LA podcaster was arrested and indicted for allegedly threatening to kill President Donald Trump. Federal investigators arrested 40-year-old Benjamin Azaria Southworth at his home in West Lake this morning. He's accused of posting social media videos calling for the President's assassination and targeting the family of the president's personal attorney by publishing their home address and phone numbers online, along with leaving threatening voice mouth. Southworth is a former Christian television host. He faces up to 12 years in prison on those charges.

56:42And great job by Secret Service, too. I did not mean to leave him out. It was unintentional. Fantastic job by President Trump's law enforcement apparatus. You're just not doing that anymore. You're just not doing it. You're just not doing it. Again, stories sometimes you miss because the doomers are only highlighting the doom and gloom and they don't have any time to actually tell you what's actually going on that wouldn't lead to doom and gloom. Folks, another great story, this raw story. I told you, like, if you're going to lie about me in the media, I'm sorry, folks, but I used to let a lot of this stuff go. I'm not letting it go anymore. You're going to hear from us and our team. I'm not letting it happen. So raw stories, Daniel Hampton, who again, it looks like a double nose arouski guy as well. Why do you always look at this? Wrote this story, claiming like a lot of liberal media outlets did in the past that I, when I took the job at the FBI, failed a background check. Why even bring it up, Dan, if it's not true, strives that effect. I don't care. It's made up. The story's made up.

57:42And I'm tired of it. So I had my team send the letter over there and they were forced into a disgusting, brutal kind of a humiliating event where they had to correct themselves like morons. And now we're on like correction number, whatever. Here we go again. Attorneys for Bungie know later told raw story after publication. Pro-Publica got their reporting wrong. However, and that Bungie know took and passed the background check, which is what happened. And met all requirements for the position of deputy director Daniel Hampton. You could have avoided the humiliation at raw story and not had to rewrite this article over and over by just telling the truth. But they don't want to tell the truth. They wanted a headline. Bungie know failed the background check. It's not true. It's totally made up. This is the Boozgerouski model of media. These people just make things up. No, Dan, they do. Yes, they do. You mean there's not a shred of credibility? No. No, you think this left wing media person wouldn't have corrected it if there was any of it was true?

58:43They just made it up. Just tell the truth, man. We do it all the time. Tell the truth about the debt. Yeah, it's bad. But it's not hard. Gosh. Hey, I get a lot of letters. People send letters and things. And I try to read as many as I can. Sometimes we get so many. I'll be canned that I don't get to all. But Jasmine reads everything. So she'll send me some. I got a letter from Kiersten and Florida. Obviously, I leave her last same out of it. And she's in high school getting ready to go to college. And she says, as I enter my junior year high school, I just am curious how you got what you are today. And if you have any advice for a young woman who wants to have a similar career to you. Well, Kiersten, thank you for the letter. I deeply appreciate it. I will respond to you on that. I'll just say quickly, my advice is kind of the same advice. I believe Donald Trump has given the electorate on like I have to give you the right answer and not the easy one. And the right answer, this I'm not going to give you a cliche.

59:43The standard I think, Justin, wouldn't you agree if you listen to a lot of motivational stuff? Follow your dreams, do all that stuff. Kiersten, I'm going to give you the opposite advice. And folks, if this sounds harsh, I'm really sorry. Don't follow your dreams. Don't follow your dreams. Not until they're ready. When your dreams are ready. And you've gone out and put in all the sweat equity. The education, the man hours, the work, the after hours training, the voluntary courses you took, the endless social events you had to go to to develop your social network. When you've put in all the extra additional learning after hours, documentaries you've watched on problems you need to solve, and you've made enough money in a job you can support yourself and your family, then go and follow your dreams. Don't follow your dreams, follow hard work, and your dreams will follow later.

1:00:45You put in the hours, you put in the education time. You put in the career path and guidance. You take advice from the real heroes in your life, not the comic book people, your parents, your grandparents, who will tell you how to get there. And I promise you'll carve that path too. It may not be the exact same thing. But I'll just tell you, like I wanted, I was offered something similar, government positions at the state and federal level. There were a couple of times that happened. And I respectfully decline because I wasn't, I think, ready at the time. It wasn't a matter of maturity or education. It was just I had to take care of my family. And I wanted this stuff badly, but the timing wasn't right. Don't follow your dreams. Your dreams will follow you if you follow the hard work. That's the best advice I can give you. Now, it is Friday, so producer Jim puts together these Democrats and Zen moments of peace and calm for the weekend. But I found another actual Zen moment afterwards.

1:01:45So I usually leave with the Zen, but because it's a great Friday and you're going to go on a long weekend with your family and friends and have a good time this weekend, this extra long weekend. I'm going to play the Democrats and Zen first. It's a sarcastic moment of peace and silence coming from our crazy liberal bourgeoisie, Ronnie, class day all look like this every single time Jim puts it together on Friday. Check this. Or Democrats and moment of the day, a peaceful moment to center your mind. Let's go. Oh my gosh. What is she doing? Is that a pleasure shirt? You want to eat it? You want to eat some more? I want to eat some more. Do you want to eat some more? Do you want to eat some more? Isn't that the rate with the American fl тысяч? Is she at the double nosor? No, she's like a flanchlight now. What's up? I have to do it every time, every time. However, it's Friday and it's a long Friday. I've got a great interview with Johnan Steeff. Yeah, we're going to talk Lindsey, Klancy and everything else coming up.

1:02:48So don't go anywhere. I saw this right before I came in the studio. It was on the ESPN feed. I don't follow soccer, what they call football overseas. I'm American, we call it soccer. And I guess this is Liverpool and they're going to play a soccer game. And they meet this young child who's got some developmental issues, I think you can see. And I don't know any of these soccer players at all, but this young man is a huge fan and the soccer team surprises him and brings him to a game. Folks, I saw Jasmine White, I saw her get someone was cutting onions. I'm like Jasmine, you get to look up. So they know, no, it's good. You know, she gets to play like the boss and everything like that. Totally got her. That actually got me a little bit too. Man card totally totally turned in. Watch this video. This is one of the coolest things I've seen a long time. Listen, athletes out there, you guys got a lot of money, people love you. I love to see you kind of paying back, paying things forward like this. Take care of the kids, check this out.

1:03:49Hi everyone. I'm looking for someone who is a big Liverpool fan and he loves to play the guitar. I think his name is Isaac. Is that, are you Isaac? Oh. Oh, nice to meet you.

You got to see the chat. If you're missing a live chat, team rope one, I'm not crying. You're crying. I'm not crying. I don't care, man. Guard whatever. God bless that young man. You know, we brag on athletes a lot. It's being out of touch and I get it. You know, there are a lot of good and decent people out there. You know, it's because they make money and are famous. Doesn't make them awful. And the fact that they were willing to do that for that young man. Yeah, man. I give a look at that chat.

1:05:50I know. It's so sweet. I think we're all crying together on how one. Good for you, buddy. You deserve that. So, I saw that right before I came on the end. I'm like, usually I am with Democrats. And given that it's a long weekend, I think it's kind of good to, you know, really have the field. Have the fields. And that certainly gave me the fields. I told you I can't jazz them. You know. All right. Every day we pick a comment of the day. Once a week we pick a winner for our 1776 live club. One lucky listener viewer gets $1,776 a week. Why? Because we just like giving away money. You want to see the official world that's really it. Our money, not like Democrats, other people's money. The official rules are at bongino.com slash 1776. If you'd like to check them out, our comment of the day today is full. Nelson. Oh, we love full Nelson. Full Nelson. What an honor to have you. That's one of my favorite accounts. They're eating the mudlies. Is that from the reading the cats?

1:06:50I see. Oh, you didn't think I would know that, right? That full Nelson is like a hardcore, like great conservative, like amazing voice. Been with us forever. The feelings mutual. If you don't know where he's going with that, you can see that. You're going with that. You got to look up the song. They're eating the cats. It's a it's a P1 thing. If you know, you know, that is who picked that. Is that you? Okay. Because I don't know how like these guys are relatively new here. They must have just, oh, because we played the eating the cats thing. Not that long. I'm wondering how they even knew that. All right. I got a great interview coming up about everything. We'll cover the Linsley Clancy case. Critical reforms at the FBI. And folks, why I'm not telling you and never will. Oh, work is done. Take a rye off the ball. Everything's fixed. That's a jump thing to say. And it's just not true. I got a lot of explanations and some Q&A coming up with John Anson, the FBI. I don't miss it. Hey, our more good years, we are what we eat.

But happy to have him here. A former FBI supervisory special agent, also a contributor, a columnist for town hall. He's written some really terrific pieces. He has one out now. If you'd like to check it out, friend of mine, John Nance. Check him out also on ex-givenmafollow. Yes, some really interesting takes. John, welcome to the show. It's really good to have you. Hey, Dan. Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure. Sure. Thank you. I'm glad to see you again. I'm glad to see you again. Thank you. Hey, Dan. Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure.

1:09:51Yeah, it's great to have you, Ben. You spent two decades with the FBI, a enormous body of criminal investigative experience. So first, the story that everyone's talking about. I think we can all agree in a combination of a story, this Lindsey Clancy trial. I played some video audio of me at the beginning of the show, which I typically don't do, but I didn't want to restate my case. I was on Wilkane yesterday. Now, I brought up with this, it disturbs me most about this case. It appears right now that 11 jurors, appears that 11 jurors seem to have some version of her not being legally guilty in their mind. And there's one holdout who I would assume based on the numbers agrees with me that I don't get it. I don't understand what's, what reasonable doubt you could possibly have. In my issue with the case, John, and I'd love to get your opinion on it is the culpability matter. Our legal system is baked into the cake, intent in mens rea. If you go out and drink and drive and you made the awful decision to do that and you would

1:10:52have killed three kids, no one's questioning that you got in the car and drank with the intention to kill three kids. The law takes that into account. However, your behavior was so reckless, you were still good, in many cases, you're going to go to jail for life. There's no question about the facts here. The woman brought her three kids to a basement center husband away and strangled them. It's not like she gave them an overdose of vitamins accidentally. You only strangled someone with the intent to kill and that's why I'm just puzzled how there could possibly be what appears to be 11 holdouts on a 12 person jury. Yeah, we've touched on a lot of very important points. One, you know, murder is a specific intent crime. And you have to have the specific intent to commit that particular act. And it's on the government to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. But the premeditation in this case is just so clear. I mean, you see it. I see it. Anybody with common sense sees that. And I'm sure, as we're seeing the jury deliberations go on, most of the jury members

1:11:57are seeing that as well. I can't help but think that there might be some influence with regard to social media. We're seeing all this crazy stuff, this deranged stuff on social media. And in the news as well, it's not just confined to what we see on the internet, you know, individuals that are supporting this woman, supporting her. And in my opinion, you know, in her, her, her act of homicide, right, on three kids, three tiny kids. So the fact that she, I think she went out to say something to her husband, I think, was part of the record and then went back in and purposefully, you know, committed those murder. I mean, strangling kids, it's not like the movies, right? You don't wrap a rope around somebody's throat or put your hands around somebody's neck and compress for 30 seconds and the person expires. This takes time. It takes time to suffocate someone.

1:12:58And it is a, it is an unmistakably purposeful action. So whoever the holdout is on the jury, I can only assume or speculate that maybe they've been affected by some of what they have seen potentially on social media. You know, I'm really, I'm glad you brought that up because when you, you know, understandably, not many people have witnessed the strangling. I thank the Lord by the way that that's the case. You know, you see it in there and you know, you watch Netflix and you see a house fire and the guy runs in and he can see everything and he's like the hero and he grabs the three kids. Well, when you go in and we're real house fire, if you ever go through fire training where they light up number two diesel fuel oil, whatever, you can't see squat and it's hot as hell and it's not the way it looks. You just brought up a good point that I had brought up yesterday that if you were, if there was a video of this that the jury was forced to watch, I got to tell you John, I think it would be, they would have deliberated for 30 seconds and they would have said guilty,

1:14:0312, zero, unanimous. I mean, it's not just that this takes a long time. It's that the woman had to do it three times. So it's not like after the first one, wow, that was really horrible. Maybe I should stop now. I mean, there were three different cases, just a quick thoughts on that. Well, yeah, I mean, that was a really essential point. I did, unfortunately, witness a crime scene early in my career and this is actually when I was a local law enforcement officer, Deputy Sheriff, where a husband had murdered his wife and had suffocated his two children. He put, in that particular case, he put plastic bags over their heads. He even tied a center block to the family dog and threw it into the pool. So if people actually saw these things happen, like you say on video, or even were there at the crime scene immediately following, they would be horrified by what they saw. In fact, they would, it really can kind of shake you to your core as to what human beings

1:15:05are really capable of. So for her to strangle three kids, right? She had to obviously perpetrate this on the first child. I've heard some reporting. I think that the three-year-old was trying to escape, trying to run away from her. So I mean, she had to track that child down, subdue that poor kid, and then begin the strangulation process. How can a reasonable juror, in our opinion, and obviously we're not there, we don't have access to all the information, all the evidence, but from what we know anecdotally through the media and other sources of reporting, just, and based on my experience and local law enforcement, I really have a hard time getting my head around the fact that you could have any sympathy for this woman whatsoever. Yeah, we're talking to John Nance. He's a retired supervisory special agent with the FBI. John, you spent two decades with the FBI, and since then you've written some very informative

1:16:10pieces over the course of many years. I town hall, great outlet, highly recommend you bookmark at folkstownhall.com. You know, John, you've been very critical in retirement of a lot of the leadership decisions in the past. And one of the things, Cash and I noticed when we get in there early at the FBI was specifically in the counterterrorism division, that there had almost been like a woke virus that had taken over. It wasn't with everyone. There were a lot of analysts and agents over there who got it and understood what the problems were because they were the ones who told us when we got in there and said this is not right. We've been speaking out forever. The people who weren't with the new program, we had to move along and say, you don't belong here. I'm really sorry. But what I found was with this threat banning that a lot of it had been taken over by wokeism. And it wasn't a matter of calling out a problem. It was a matter of calling out a problem on the margin. So say something like you would say like mega hats and people who go to Latin mass were a threat.

1:17:11And there's a white supremacist around every corner. No one's disputing that there are people who will use religion and no one's disputing that white supremacy is fake. There are of course people who engage in these race-based hate-filled ideologies. But the allocation of assets was so not commensurate with the degree of the problem. Like white supremacy is the worst threat to the counterterrorism ecosystem in the United States. That's absurd. You're not in there and scrapped and threw out that entire thing and said, fellas, ladies, you better come back with a new model because as you know, because you probably saw a lot of this leadership sets the priorities and the priorities were just all over the map. Yeah. Well, I've said this a lot before at Town Hall on another place is that the FBI is a, it's very much a top-down driven organization, right? And elections matter. They matter. They matter. It's an existential matter. So whoever's in the White House has a direct impact on the other functions of the executive

1:18:14apparatus, right? So whoever's in the White House determines who the Attorney General is going to be. The AG is the FBI Director's boss. A lot of people don't know that. And that has a big impact on the director, on the leadership posture at the Bureau. So all these issues with the counterterrorism stuff and the counterintelligence program as well, boiled down to, I mean, what we know and understand now as a politicization and weaponization. So you had a lot of SCS or senior executive service members who were buying into this woke, woke ideology being propounded by Biden's White House. It's really started with Obama and his desire to fundamentally transform America. And he did that beginning with a lot of our important institutions at the CIA, at the FBI, at NSA, I mean, you go down the, you go down the whole list, right? So he puts, he puts functionaries into positions where they were carrying out his, his policy.

1:19:18So it's not rocket science. I mean, people, if you think about it, this is how the government works and broad strokes. So the same thing occurs at the FBI. So what you have happened essentially is these marching orders that the white violent extremist right is, is the existential threat that we face. And that was all a direct result in my opinion of what occurred on January 6th in particular. Because the narrative then became, well, it's this white violent extremist unicorn that we need to go after. And that's why you had all these resources, these massive resources dedicated essentially to, to going after for the most part, individuals who were guilty of nothing more than a quote unquote federal trespassing. You did have some bad actors there. I mean, you can watch the videos. I've, I've seen pretty much all the CCTV video footage I worked on that toward the end of

1:20:19my career at Washington field office. And you can see individuals that look like Antifa members. I think a lot of this, you know, the J6 stuff was a false flag sort of an operation. And I don't know what your opinion is about this, but not from the Bureau side. And there's been a lot of, there's been a lot of misinformation floating around, around out there with regard to the Bureau's presence during the J6 protest. And certainly there were confidential informants, but people don't understand the difference between a UC, a UCA and undercover agent and a confidential informant. These are just individuals. They're not agents. They're people that the FBI has on the payroll for providing information. That's kind of the thumbnail sketch of what that is. But, you know, to your question, the CT program was broken. I think the CI program was broken, not because the brick agents were woke and the brick

1:21:24agents weren't taking their oaths seriously, but simply because of the leadership effect coming from the seventh floor of headquarters. And, you know, yourself and Patel quickly changed that. I talked about how quick I thought the change would occur. Because I know how the Bureau works. If the director says accomplish XYZ, then you go accomplish XYZ. That's, you know, sort of a paramilitary kind of a kind of a structure. So, you know, what we have seen recently has been absolutely historic. The numbers are unbelievable, frankly. I mean, I think the last, the last tally I saw was 140, I think, maybe 130 counterintelligence arrests. I mean, that's absolutely unheard of. And I had the opportunity to talk to Patel for about an hour or myself and another agent to Chris Hinkel had the opportunity to go up to headquarters.

1:22:26And we discussed some of those things with him and got to see some of the technological advances that he's been rolling out. The director's strategic information center is one of those very, very impressive. His integration of AI, even down to the street agent level with regard to their smartphones are featuring AI capabilities, which is a game changer. And to make another point, I think one of the big successes that the FBI is experiencing right now because of Patel's leadership are the task force programs, like the Safe Street Task Force programs. That is how the FBI directly impacts the violent crime numbers. I've heard people, you know, saying, well, these aren't really FBI numbers and the FBI doesn't. Can I ask you about that? Because I've heard your commentary on this because you lived under the old model.

1:23:29The old model before Patel and I had gotten in there onto the seventh floor. You mentioned a couple of things I want to tie into this question with you. You mentioned how managers and leaders, SESers, senior executive service members who are appointed at the pleasure of leadership. They're not, it's not GS9 to GS11. That's just the standard hop if you don't screw up to 13 to journeyman to you. That's not how it works. Once you get to GS15 and above, it's basically at the discretion of leadership. So like any other structure, IBM, Microsoft, it doesn't really matter. It's going to be an incentive. If Microsoft says you're going to be promoted on how you advance AI and not software or hardware going forward, then that's what you're going to do. You're going to go and develop AI. I'm not, by the way, absolving bad actors who we got rid of of bad decisions at all. I'm just saying, if you ask, if you send someone out there and say, find the white supremacists around every corner, they're going to find them.

1:24:29Even if they've got a pigeonhole, a case coded wise into it. So that kind of goes to the next question I was going to ask you about the Safe Streets Task Force. That when we got in there, the incentive for promotion was to produce what I call the federal chit, chit, but the CFO, it's not an S, with a federal chit. In other words, if you didn't get a federal arrest, you probably, you say you're an SAC in Albuquerque, whatever, and you had a chalk up a thousand federal arrests a year to look like you had exceeded the workload of your other folks to get promoted or brought back in an OD or was an EAD back then, positioned. You're going to look for federal arrests. And if a state actor comes to you and says, hey, we need help on this state case, can the FBI help? I'm not saying you'd say no, but your incentive is to say no because you're not going to get anything for it. We changed that whole thing. And you had spoken about this with violent crime test forces and in the transition to what we do now. We told all the SACs and leaders in Crim cyber going forward and CTT as well.

1:25:30I don't care who gets the credit. I don't care if the tribal police get the credit. The Martin County Sheriff gets the credit. The DEA gets the credit. I don't care. I want said bad guy off the street. And that was a culture shift, John. A lot of people who are supervisors like you, they thought we were kidding. They're like, they don't. And then when the promotion started coming in, they're like, wow, they're not kidding. They really meant it. Yeah. Okay. So you touched on several things. So the task force program, this kind of safe streets task force. It used to be called BCMO. It's not really called that anymore. And Patel has actually expanded that program. I think one of the more exciting aspects of it and interesting aspects of it is the integration of the Department of Homeland Security in this task force program. Now you have the ability to integrate DHS's resources with regard to international organized

1:26:31crime. And I think that is a really interesting component to Patel's initiative. But these, but the violent crime numbers are directly influenced by these, these task force programs. It literally means an FBI agent sitting next to a state or a local law enforcement officer. And I think Memphis is a good example of that. I think there was a cold case homicide that FBI analysts were able to go back through information. I think they produced some 2000 actionable intelligence products. I mean, this is like the, this is how, and this is how the analysts are supposed to function. Right. And real intelligence products that are in pursuit of a criminal objective in this case. And we're able to actually assist local law enforcement in finding the perpetrator of that particular homicide. So, you know, big when for not, you know, not just the FBI, not just for local law enforcement,

1:27:35but for the American people. And we have this because we have a law and order president. Trump has given Patel specific marching orders. And you were talking a bit about, well, what motivates a supervisor or what motivates supervision up and down that particular, the FBI structure. And if you have a law and order president that says go get the bad guys, that's obviously communicated to the AG and to the FBI director. So the marching orders become go get the bad guys. Don't be, you know, don't, don't be distracted with some of these other, what I would, what I would term non-essential metrics. And you kind of touched on some of these matters. A lot of it's driven by finance, right? The bureau, you know, has to go for Congress. Congress controls the purse strings. And what Congress kind of wants to see prioritized, that's how the bureau ended up in, in

1:28:36drugs back in the 80s, right? I mean, we've got a whole separate federal institution, the DEA that does drugs. So why was the FBI in drugs back in the 80s? Well, that's because that's where all the congressional funding was. But when you have the president say, this is the priority, this, you know, reducing violent crime, these are the priorities. Then that's what gets done regardless of, you know, budgetary worries or, or, or how we're going to be allocated funds from Congress. So like we've touched on before, leadership is everything. Elections are vitally important. You know, can you imagine an AOC in the White House God forbid? Oh, you're going to, you're going to get a weapon, you're going to get a weaponized government all over again. If that happens, yes. I've warned people about this because John, people ask me, I've warned people about this because people say to me all the time, hey, man, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, you know, I, and understandably so like, I don't want to go back to the weaponized Jim

1:29:38Komi era with stroke in these others. And I've sent them when we got to win elections because if they put people in place who have a corrupt heart and bad actors, John, it doesn't matter if they're in the FBI, the IBF, the ABC or the DEF. I don't care what you call it. They're going to swear people in with the power to engage in weaponized counterintelligence investigation. It doesn't matter if they're in the CIA, the NSA, they're just going to abuse, but we've got to win elections. Corruption, you know, we did our best over there, cash and I do instill guardrails against things like Pfizer abuse. We introduced additional layers of voluntary. We were not forced by Congress to do it. We just thought it was such a problem that we wanted to err on the side of liberty rather than the side of the surveillance state. But you're correct. If anybody's out there is under the impression that either me or John is going, oh, problem solved. We're all good. Take your eye off the ball. What is two thumbs into this agreement with you? This guy, I am not telling you that at all.

1:30:41We have to win elections because you just indicated this thing could turn right around. People respond to incentives. You bring new people and go and, hey, go find me some political corruption cases, winky, nod, nod. And you're going to find some cases that don't belong into PC file. Yeah, that's exactly right. And people say, well, you know, this is the most important election we've ever had. Well, I guess in a sense, every election is the most important election that we've ever had, right? You know, we're one generation away from losing our constitutional republic, right? And I don't really know where exactly we are on that spectrum anymore. Are we really a constitutional republic right now? I think we're closer to it under Trump. And certainly we were under Joe Biden or Barack Hussein Obama. But these elections are incredibly important. And people have said, well, why don't we just dismantle or defund the FBI and stand up

1:31:43some other organization? It doesn't matter. Like I said, you have an AOC in the White House. It doesn't matter what your shiny new organization is. It will be corrupted overnight because all they have to do is simply replace leadership. And that's what the White House can do. It's, you know, all these organizations are part of the executive branch. So they're born. And it already happened. Remember after 9-11, we created the DNI? Like now, no, this is going to solve the problem. What happened? Jim Clapper went up there and said, hey, are we surveilling Americans metadata? Not winningly. Not winning. Like that was just a total fabrication. They were doing it. Like creating new organizations. It just seems to be like a kick the can down the road thing. Like we're not going to address the problem of communism, socialism, tyrannical weaponized government getting out there and organizing for a constitution that needs our support. And we're just going to rely on like, no, let's create another bureaucracy.

1:32:45It just seems to me like if our argument is government's corruptible, then our goal should be to limit and put guardrails around the government we have now, not create more government to create an additional problem. It's not like we don't have an example, vis-a-vis DNI of the failure of this type of thinking. Yeah, that's correct. And look, the ballot box is essential. And I hear a lot of stuff floating around out there in some of the subterranean levels of the internet, you know, phrases like, we can't vote our way out of this. That's extremely dangerous ideology. And the implication of that statement is very clear to any thinking person. So we need to make sure that we're engaged in our electoral process. And really it starts at the local level. You know that better than most people. That local politics is incredibly important. You know, who's on your school board is incredibly important. You know, of course, and who sits in the White House as well is incredibly important.

1:33:47So the American people need the FBI. It's a critical component of our national security. And no agency can do what it does, especially with regard to its counterintelligence mission domestically. No other agency can do what the FBI does. So we don't need a weaponized or politicized FBI. We need an FBI that is driven by people who respect and love the Constitution who are committed to our civil liberties. And Kashbitell is definitely one of those people. You know, I haven't had the opportunity to speak with him. I'm even more convinced of that today than I was before. So I'm grateful to see his leadership at the FBI. Very grateful for what you accomplished while you were there at the FBI. And I'm very, very grateful for Trump and what he's been doing with regard to making America great again. And you know, I'm seeing the FBI.

1:34:51I kind of like to see you know, the FBI is being made great again. And the data, you know, the data is irrefutable, you know, the reduction of violent crime numbers, the number of children that have been recovered. I think the last number I saw was 18,000. You know, that's it's tremendous. The impact of that on our society is incalculable. Getting back those 18,000 kids. So that's what Trump's FBI is doing these days. We're not running around chasing federal trespassers. We're not wasting our time with nonsense like that. So, you know, I'm very encouraged by what I see. You know, I think I think they're good things ahead for the FBI and for the American people. I think so too, folks. You've been listening to John Nance. If you're listening on radio or Spotify or Apple and a N T Z, you can follow him at town hall.

1:35:53You can follow him on exe writes for town hall.com, a spectacular website. I read often used for show prep. Yeah, some really insightful thoughts. And I agree with a lot of what you just said. I mean, people are policy as a good friend of mine is said often about government. Create new layers is going to help not that the layers we have now don't need significant reform. But adding more government on top of a government that it was already flawed and broken. I think it just creates more opportunity for failure. John, we'll have you back. If you'll have us, we really enjoyed the commentary. I would love to. Thanks for your perspective. Thanks a lot. John Nance, folks from town hall.com, check him out.
