I know you know the story. I never wanted to endorse a gold company. Paula talked me into it, said, listen, she loves gold as much as I do. She's like, you know, you're going to buy. Birch Gold's a great company. Let's go with them. So I got to learn more about the need for diversification from Birch Gold. And I started buying gold from Birch Gold. I'm a customer too. I'm a huge believer. I've been an investor in gold for a long time. There's freedom in diversification. And Birch Gold is the only gold company I choose to do business with and have for a few years now. I encourage you to learn for yourself. Text my name, Dan, D-A-N, to the number 989898. And Birch Gold, B-I-R-C-H, Birch Gold, will send you a free info kit on how to convert an eligible IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold. Gold's one of the best investments I ever made. That's right, own gold in a tax sheltered account. Again, text my name, Dan, to the number 989898 and see if gold is right for you. Tumultuous times, you've seen what happens. Gold is a great hedge. I'm an investor. Check it out. Message and data rates apply. Thank you, Birch Gold. We really appreciate it. All right, Guy, let's go. So, folks, the tide has already turned in the culture war. You're seeing it now. I'm going to get to that in a second. But just briefly, I know you're getting wall-to-wall coverage on cable news. I try my best to give you a large portfolio of information in the hour and a half to two hours we do the show. Secretary Kristi Noem coming up today at 1130 in an hour and a half. We're going to do a wide ranging interview with her. I try to give you everything, a smorgasbord of information. However, you have seen that this Guthrie tragedy, this case has dominated news. I did a hit on it last night. And just quickly, I was discussing three possibilities. You had some, you know, loud mouth afterwards. Come on and say they it's it's hard for me to talk about stuff in this new role because there's things I can't say. Do you get what I'm saying? Does that make sense in the chat? I don't want to give away tactics. There are things we can do. We meaning the federal, not just the FBI, but others, DEA, marshals and others. There were new tools that when I left the Secret Service back in 2011, we didn't have those tools. So it was easier for me to be a commentator at times because I stayed away from things I didn't know and spoke about things I did. However, now that I've got all this stuff in my head, it's I've got to be delicate how I handle things. So I talk about things in terms of possibilities. I think everybody has to keep in their head the possibility that Occam's razor may apply here. given all explanations for what happened to savannah guthrie's mom maybe it's time to accept the one that's the most parsimonious and requires you to assume the least we'll see was it a kidnapping was it not a kidnapping is there a third explanation if you want to watch the clip you can check it out it's on my social media feed and you'll see what I'm talking about. It is just bizarre that a group of if they were professional kidnappers would miss an obvious thing like trying, you know, taking the medication and other things like that. We'll see. We'll see what happens. OK, moving on. I got a lot to talk about today. You can get all wall to wall coverage on cable news about that. And people obviously interested in the story. I've heard, you know, that the viewership is through the roof. I mean, it's a terrifying story. Folks, the tide has already turned in the culture war. It's already turned. The tide has turned. It's already turned. We haven't won anything, but it's already turned. It's in the other direction right now. If you are on the right side of history with us, congratulations. Welcome to the party. If you just converted to the right side of history, i.e. you're someone like one of these celebrities or so who's like, you know what? I like Donald Trump now. welcome to the party too i don't particularly care what celebrities have to say but i'd rather you vote for us than not the culture wars are changing people are being tired of being told that it's okay to have a men's penis in the women's room nobody ever believed that only the nuts believe that pun intended the times already turned trump changed everything what he did is he moved the needle on what conversations were safe to be had. I'm going to address this with with Secretary Noem later. And I'm going to play a clip of a Secretary Kennedy, RFK, talking about how this president just kind of lets you do your thing and doesn't really care so much what the public perception in the media is. You'll see the clip later, but he has moved the needle about what's okay air quotes to talk about and he has allowed his cabinet and his leaders whether it's the secretary of war or elsewhere secretary of homeland security to do the job and not have to worry about every media headline about oh my gosh that wasn't politically correct in this he wasn't politically correct he doesn't care he changed everything he made the gop which was the stodgy old bow tie wearing party at the Mitt Romney crowd. He made the GOP and the Republican Party, the edgy party again. He just did. No one understands marketing of a brand better than Donald J. Trump. No one, zero people understand it better than him. Here's what I'm talking about. He's got like the culture war Avengers in his cabinet. People like we're not doing these culture wars. We're doing make America safe again, make America wealthy again, make America great again. That's what we're doing. If you have an alternate agenda, get the hell out of the cabinet like stat. Here's Secretary Hegseth from the Department of War yesterday. And again, another banger of a speech. Guys do an incredible job. And this is the kind of thing I promise you under no prior president could ever be said, Republican or Democrat. Oh, my gosh, the media is going to take this all the wrong way. What are you doing? You're creating headlines. No, not this president. Here he is. This is why I titled the show. Despite some consternation from Guy, who wanted I just want it on the record. You know, he tells it like it is, even when he's wrong. He wanted a different title. This is why we titled today's show. No dudes in dresses. Check this out. A lot of generals say a lot of things. The dumbest thing I've heard general say is that our diversity is our strength. It's the single dumbest phrase in military history. Let me tell you why. Because I look out at this group and I see a lot of different faces, a lot of different backgrounds coming from a lot of different places. That's a beautiful thing. But that's not what makes it special. What makes what you do special, what makes what these men and women do is their unity of purpose. See, it's our unity that's our strength. It's our shared mission that's our strength. It's what we fight for together that is our strength. And so we're getting rid of all the distractions, the DEI, the climate change. No more dudes in dresses. And notice the applause from the crowd. These were things in the past. Time out here. I need you to listen. These were things in the past prior to Donald Trump that I promise you upwards of 80 to 90 percent of people were thinking, but were afraid to say. That's what the term political correctness is about. Notice they don't say moral correctness. They say political correctness. So, you know, you're on the right moral arc of history side. However, politically, the winds are blowing in a different direction. due to pressure, agendas, and other things. So you stop saying what you want to say. This president, he doesn't buy any of that bullshit. And he gives you latitude to work. Now, you may be saying, some of you, well, that's just talking points and trying to get a reaction from the crowd. No, it's not. This stuff has a real tangible effect on how government operates for you every day. If you've got a military more concerned with racial and gender quotas and LGBTQIA2 plus one spirit. I can't even remember all the categories anymore. Then they're not concerned about actually killing the enemy. And that's their job. Folks, this is not a small thing. These are not just talking points. They create freedom to operate in a hierarchy. President Trump creates this space where you can do the right thing for the organization, make them more lethal in the case of the Secretary of War. He then goes out and he gives these speeches, making this stuff public, which then filters down to the leaders who realize, man, this guy's not kidding. He really wants soldiers who are lethal and he's not worried about all this quota crap anymore. I'll give you just a quick example from my time. There was a lot of this fluffy, like, bullshit stuff on the homeschool. I come into my office every morning and it's a computer, you know, on a desk like everyone has. No big deal. I had two monitors there, one for one side of the Internet, one for the other side. And you get some classifieds. You get the point, right? But there were these like weird messages on the home screen. I'm like National Puppy Day or whatever. I'm like, no, we're not doing that shit. It's a small down. It's a huge victory lap. I'm just saying like those little things set the conditions for a morale problem. We've got people like celebrating National Puppy Day. These are door kickers. These are people arresting terrorists. I said, get that shit off there. I want our priorities up there. Protect the homeland. Crush violent crime. Fierce organizational accountability. Restore public trust. Cash was like, do it. Done. It was done right away. That's how it filters down from the president. And you start to win back the culture of the United States government to be more accountable to the people and more mission focused rather than bullshit focused. you see it in other departments as well things that were totally unsafe to say years ago people just didn't want it because they were afraid you're seeing another cabinet members as well the culture war is changing here's rfk he's been doing a great job over there he was giving a talk the other day and he was talking about the government's now new approach to you know nutrition and things like that now why does this matter why would i put it after the secretary of war number one we're talking about the hierarchy the ability to speak out and speak truth the president not giving a damn about political correctness and in the past the government you know republicans and democrats were hesitant to talk about people's dietary choices why oh my gosh you don't want people who are you know overweight to feel bad well listen i don't want anybody to feel bad but i don't want you to die either like it's clear now that this is linked to shortened lifespan and a multitude of other health problems it's clear as day you can say that and it's also safe to say hey man we're gonna put out some stuff saying that this these choices aren't healthy i'm telling you you can never do this stuff on the bed no of course no you couldn't here's what i mean check this out we're trying to make it easier for parents to make good choices We're not telling people what to do. We're not starting a nanny state. If you live in this country, you ought to be able to buy a Coca-Cola if you want one or eat a Krispy Kreme donut. But we're going to tell you it's not good for you. And allow you to make your own choices. And that's really how democracy is supposed to function. That is how democracy is supposed to function. Everybody's free to drink a gallon of Coca-Cola if you want. But if we're going to pay all this money for public health, and I think it should be left to the states or whatever, but if you're going to do it because the Democrats won't stop funding this large ass and this massive government dog pile of money, then we might as well get out a message that makes sense. Yeah, whatever. Eat a donut and a gallon of coffee, excuse me, a gallon of Coca-Cola in the morning. But no one's going to tell you this is healthy. Oh, you can't say that. You may offend people. Then be offended. I'm sorry, folks. there's nothing wrong with being offended offended you have any idea the shit I listen to every day from liberal lunatics just plug my name in anything these morons are so they're terrified of everything we say on the show because they know it's got a massive audience here's what I was talking about too about not being micromanaged and how different it is to work in this environment here's RFK it's a short one talking about how he does not care the president about, you know, licking the finger and seeing where the political winds are going and the media. And he doesn't give a shit about any of that stuff. I'm telling you, prior Republican presidents, certainly Democrat presidents worship the media. The old adage was, you know, you don't mess with people who buy ink by the gallon. He just takes the ink and pours it over your head. Check this out. I tolerate overreach and he doesn't care about vested interest and he doesn't care about, you know, about offending powerful people. So it's a joy to work for him because he lets me do stuff that I don't think anybody else would ever let me do. There you go. I'll bring this up with Secretary Noem later as well. Get her perspective on it. He's not talking about like extra post-constitutional, illegal, you know, not something he's talking about. He's talking about exactly the theme I opened up the show with. He gives you freedom to operate without fear of being stopped because you didn't say the politically correct thing that day. The best way to ensure your job security in the Trump administration, have some liberal media jerkwads write some really negative story about you, then you're never getting fired ever for any reason. It's the greatest job security program ever. It's like a deposit in your government furs, your 401k for the government system. Every time the liberal media writes some hit piece on you. Folks, the evidence is everywhere that this culture war has shifted, that we are winning. We haven't won, but we are winning. Now is time to crush the pedal down and go 9000 RPMs in sixth gear. This is the time because after the midterms, I don't know how it's going to go. You know me. I don't get into red wave stuff. I don't get into like Doomer stuff either. We're going to lose 6,000 seats. There aren't even 6,000 seats to lose, bro. What are you talking about? I try to play it straight. But I can tell you if you don't crush the gas pedal and we don't do the 10, 10, and 10. Call 10 people. Ring 10 doorbells. Make 10 social media posts. If we don't do that, send 10 emails. 10, 10, 10, and 10, 10, 10. Make 10 more things. Whatever you can do. 10 Facebook posts, 10 Instagram posts. Yes, then we are going to get crushed. Bottom line is elections are decided by ballots and votes. And sometimes those aren't the same thing. Sometimes you get ballots turned in by people who didn't intend to vote. I've been covering that all week. But the culture is changing. And it's one of the entire Republican Party has been moved. And I got a little montage coming up later in the show for you. How the media wants you to believe that Donald Trump has been a drag like an anchor on the Republican Party. I'm going to show you a ton of stories producer Jim and the team here put together where they just keep parroting this narrative. Oh, my gosh, the GOP is fuming and President Trump. They hate it. Oh, my God, what a drag on the party. The whole party's changed. He has changed the culture, too. And it's one of the few. It's one of the unspoken things that doesn't come up a lot. The whole culture has changed, not just the Republican Party. Here's our good friend Graham Allen, who raids the show every day. He's got an amazing show on Rumble, too. He's always been a good friend to me and a real truth teller. Here's Graham Allen on the Turning Point show. And I'm going to spend a ton of time on this. Did yesterday. Andrew Kovac sent a nice tweet out about our coverage of it yesterday. We brought up the two button problem. If you want to watch yesterday's show, how Turning Point's the first one to beat the NFL and solve the two button problem. They just are on a mass scale, that is. You all figured out Rumble a long time ago. We're a top live streamer in the world, thanks to you. But a lot of people have a tough time downloading the TV apps, even my TV. I'm like, how the hell do you get that on there? Chris told me from Rumble that they've had like a record day of people downloading the Rumble app on their TV. I don't know if you know that. You can watch this show on your television. All you got to do is download the Rumble app on your TV. A little bit of a pain in the butt, but they're going to put some tutorials out. Here's Graham Allen on not just what happened with the massive viewership numbers, but the secondary and tertiary effects of Turning Point running counter-programming to the NFL that was clearly directed at a culture of Americans who love and want to celebrate the country and didn't want to watch his sad bunny thing. Watch what happened afterwards to the artists who performed. You're not going to get a bunch of people, artists, because you're going to do this again, turning point, that are going to be dying to get on this halftime show. Check this out. Check this out. This morning on the top charts of the top 10 albums in America right now, Brantley Gilbert holds 1 2 3 4 of the top 10 albums on the chart Gabby Barrett holds the number 1 country music chart Lee Bryce holds number 3 Cody Johnson from Kid Rock singing his song number 5 Gabby Barrett number 7 Lee Bryce number 8 The Lord It worked. Brantley, Lee and Gabby, listen to me right here. The Lord rewards standing strong in your faith and your convictions. I love me some Graham. I didn't realize Graham opened the clip saying, check this out. After I said, check this out, Justin got a kick out of it. It's like the comedy break for the show. Check this out. Check this out. I looked in the chat. uh eda ray says love watching you on the big screen yeah folks it's an option download the rumble app on your tv you can i have it on my tv it's really it's not that hard but you know i'm some of us are not that tech savvy paula did it but it's really quick you can watch the show on the uh on the big screen so thanks eda ray i appreciate it here's what i mean too the culture has shifted so dramatically it's now safe to do this here's this uh this gentleman he he owns it but did you see this clip yesterday if you didn't it was absolutely nuclear which is like beyond viral on social media and elsewhere i think you saw on tiktok x it was everywhere there is an owner of this this bar club called the zoo bar club somewhere in florida and some guy thinks he's being a real smart ass coming up with his phone and he videos the guy he's like you know like how dare you swap out the halftime show for this turning point show i came here to see the whole experience and the the guy who owns the bar is like good they just beat it bro beat it see you i guarantee you guarantee you that the guy who owns his bar his bar is going to be packed this weekend the zoo club or zoo bar it's on i think the west coast of florida somewhere i can guarantee you this guy's bar is going to be packed why because patriotic but people who put their hands over their heart when the uh the national anthem comes on they stand up and they sing those words proudly i promise you're going to flood this guy's bar and we far outnumber the lunatics check this out i came here for the halftime show the whole experience why aren't you playing bad bunny at the halftime show because i put this halftime show why because this is what the majority why are you doing that why didn't you play bad bunny because i'm gonna pay you know i'm gonna pay first. This is why. I gotta pay first. This is why I said no. I gotta pay first. But I'm asking the question. I'm not being violent. Yeah, I gotta pay first. I shouldn't pay because I came here for the full experience. What's your time, Andrew? Oh, you're getting a hat tip reboot, Jay. He was an ex, so thanks for putting that video wherever they got it from. But, oh, you're getting the full experience now, bro. You have no idea. Folks, listen to me, liberal liberal losers this shit doesn't work anymore why because the operating thesis of the show is the culture's changed if this guy was so embarrassed because the culture was on your side that everybody should be watching this sad bunny thing then why is the guy like basically double barreling you and tell you beat it get out of my place because he knows you're wrong and he's right he can watch whatever the hell he wants in his bar and most of the people in there seem quite content keep doing this stuff. Oh, I'm going to video you and embarrass you. No, you're not. You're going to pack the guy's bar this week and make him more money he's ever made. Because everybody thinks you, the guy filming it, are a moron. It even blew up on C-SPAN. You know C-SPAN? I think these callers call in. Someone calls in C-SPAN about this. This was the best piece of this whole thing, of this whole experience about these TPUSA guys, just turning point, just changing the whole paradigm. I'm now moving forward. Here's a caller in the C-SPAN. Like, you guys just don't get it. We're celebrating this milestone in American history this year, and people want to feel great about the country. They don't want to hear your shit anymore. Check this out. Should have been celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States of America at that halftime show When I went to school I was taught English I wasn't taught Spanish, so I don't know a word he was saying. You know, the United States of America, we're an English-speaking language. They should have at least put a closed caption on there or something so you could understand what they were saying. And in the dance, I've seen the same thing at a strip show, just with the clothes on, the way they were doing on TV. There's no reason for that. Folks, the days of the media building narratives and framing and gaslighting where you lie, lie confidently, lie often, and isolate people from the truth are over. As you saw, whether it was Turning Point or this show relaunching into a huge audience. I mean, we're at 71,200 and climbing. We're only 20 minutes into the show. The fragmentation of the media makes it impossible for them to effectively gaslight anymore. Gaslighting, getting people to believe bullshit. And narratives requires you to lie, lie, confidently lie often. but to isolate people from the truth so they can't see it. Shows like this are breaking that. They're destroying that whole paradigm because you can't isolate people from the truth anymore. Here's a story I told you I'd get to just a few minutes ago. The media loves to tell you a story, not the story. You remember all the Dan Bongino show rules? Producer Jim wrote a book about it last time. the media loves to tell you a story not the story i'll address this with christy noem later too in our interview there was a story out there yesterday by cbs only 14 percent of people deported have criminal charges somebody and then you read the fine print and you follow thank you guys less than less than 14 i'm sorry of those arrested by ice in trump's first year in office had violent criminal records document shows and then you read the details you're like well how exactly are we categorizing violent crime how many people had pending criminal charges and then you find out the story is a story but it's not the story they do this all the time so the latest story does your outside of that we'll get to that is it gosh the republicans up on capitol hill folks they are fuming quote fuming at President Trump destroying the place, pulling a China shop. Now keep in mind this is the Daily Yeast so you have to be careful everything the yeast tells you you pretty much take with a grain of salt. This is Lee Kimmons from the Daily Yeast Republicans. This is an actual headline for those of you listening on Spotify or Apple or elsewhere Republicans secretly fuming with Trump as midterm disaster looms. Disaster It's going to be a disaster. Justin's already crying in there. Disaster. He's got a Kleenex around his eyes trying to dry him up there. His estradiol levels are too high. How many times are you going to tell us this story, media goons? Sorry. How many times are you going to tell us this story? So I reached out to producer Jim yesterday. I'm like, Jimbo, Jimmy. I'm like, hey, man, I need a favor. I'm like, I can't. I got it. It takes me about two, three hours to put the show together. I said, can you just put together? I said, it's going to be a really easy task. It'll be easy to find a montage of the basically exact same headline or an iteration of the headline. GOP's midterms are going to be a disaster. Trump's the worst. He's killing a Republican Party within like an hour. He was completely done. and so is the team with it. Here's a bunch of the exact same headline over and over. Boston Herald. Could Trump and GOP be careening towards midterm disaster? New Republic. Republicans want to blame their election disaster on Trump. Don't fall for her. Here's the Daily East. Republicans fear midterm catastrophe. Thanks to Trump. Here we go. More. Republicans are increasingly anxious about a midterm wipeout. Truth out. Trump is blaming everyone but himself for midterm losses, including his wife. These go back. These are these are older headlines, too. Poll Trump's own voters begin blaming him for a portability crisis. Republicans are secretly convinced they face a bloodbath in midterms. Thanks to Trump. Folks, it never ends. It's the same doomer lib bullshit all the time. This is absolutely a psyop. And I don't mean psyop in some like weird, you know, science fiction type movie. It is a tautologically a psychological operation to depress turnout and make you believe everything sucks all the time. The GOP hates Trump. Everybody hates Trump. Except you look at the poll numbers and the so-called division within the GOP and it's all made up. Trump has changed the direction of the party. All the stuff you're hearing about him is bullshit. Trump's a fascist, a monarch. Really, he's a fascist? Guy's done 500 appearances before the press. Seems like a guy who wants to talk to the press, not engage in kind of behind-the-scenes fascist monarchy type crap. Throw up that New York Post piece. You'll see what I'm talking about. I think they're really scared about this election. You got that? There we go. Trump nears 500 press interactions in second term blowing past Biden. Folks, I think they're really scared about this SAVE Act. I've talked about it three or four times in the last week plus of shows we've been doing. This SAVE Act and the implementation of voter ID and voter integrity measures across the country will be a catastrophic disaster for the left. you'll see the voter depression psyops against the republican party multiply times 10 and you're seeing an extinction burst of behavior right now you know the extinction burst how many p1s are here who's in the chat who remembers it who remembers the extinction burst the extinction burst is a psychological term where you don't get a reward for some operant behavior you engage in you put a dollar in the coke machine you get a coke every day and it's your thing in the morning whatever then one friday put the dollar and no coke comes out people do these weird bags start shaking the machine punching machine screams i'm gonna make the coke come out any faster everywhere you remember that if he was here there we go there it's chad who's that who's that tim brother the coke machine yeah you know it man you're seeing it now with the media they're freaking out that this save act may get pushed across the finish line and they know the cheating is going to be impossible and they're starting to flip out i'm going to get to that after this break I'll show you the numbers. The numbers don't lie. Media people do. Hey, the only way to lose weight is not to inject yourself once a week. Nope, not anymore. Here's the reality. Weight loss injections work by a really simple two-step process. They help control blood sugar. They shut down appetite and you eat less. That's the mechanism. It's really not mysterious. They're very popular. However, there's a product out there. I used it. I lost 25 to 30 pounds on it. It was great. I called up Miles at Brickhouse. I was getting a little heavier as I got older. My joints couldn't take the extra load on it anymore. My knees were bad. Need a knee replacement. I said, Miles, Brickhouse, get me something. They created this product Lean, L-E-A-N. It replicates the benefits of weight loss injections. It works. I'm proof positive of it. And it's without the needles. Lean was formulated by doctors to support healthy blood sugar and help reduce the spikes and crashes that drive nonstop snackings and cravings. Lean goes a step further, though. Lean helps turn your body and at terms fat, their body fat into energy. So you burn it instead of storing it. No prescriptions, no needles. I use it. Paula uses it. We love the product.

Keep it on my desk been drinking a lot of coffee maybe i enjoy it all right so this is what i was talking about this save act is flipping them out they cannot possibly have voter integrity measures implemented in a nationwide manner because if they do they know that they're not going to be able to engage in you know faux ballot harvesting i say faux because a lot of the ballots they harvest likely when you base it on prior research about rejection rates on mail-in ballots that the New York Times wrote about themselves in 2020. What you wind up figuring out is rejection rates and fraud are nearly double than they are when people show up to vote. Here's the New York Post. They see the tide is turning. Donald Trump talks endlessly about voter integrity and the public is shifted. 71 percent of people right now support voter ID. Ladies and gentlemen, that is beyond the majority. That is way beyond a majority. I know the Democrats don't do mathing well, but that is way beyond 50 percent. 51%. Way beyond. You're talking about 20 percentage points above. New York Post. Democrat politicians battle against national voter ID despite 71% of their voters backing it. What does this tell you? Now, here's the problem they're going to have, and it's a big one. There are people inside the party. Thank you. There's a few research numbers in case you doubt it. You shouldn't. But when people inside their tent, the Democrat tent I'm talking about here, are starting to turn on this like they are now, i.e. John Fetterman and others. Listen, folks, I don't vote for Democrats. I don't support Democrats, period. End of story. However, if you're going to get a guy who's going to contribute in a net present value to an issue I need to pass, like the Save Act, then I'll take it. here's Fetterman who's again a Democrat senator from Pennsylvania I know you all know that here's even him saying to it hey man listen like us against this thing looks like it's kind of a political loser because it is that's why they're so freaked out and you're kicking the coke machine right now in the extinction burst check this out and now me as a Democrat I do not believe that it's it's unreasonable or uh to show ID just to vote and I remind everybody that less than a year ago in Wisconsin, you know, they added that to the Constitution by a 63 percent, you know, passing to put that in the Constitution that you have to show ID to vote. And they also elected a very, very liberal justice into their Supreme Court. So it's not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote. And it's absolutely those things are not Jim Crow or anything. Of course, that's part of an awful, awful legacy of our nation for so, so long ago. There are a couple of things I need you to be concerned about that they're going to use to, again, move forward and alter voting patterns in their favor moving forward. One of them I've discussed often. It's the use of the census. The census happens every 10 years. They try to count the number of people in the United States. I say they try because everything's obviously going to be an estimate. However, Donald Trump has been fighting for an accurate census count number of people here legally for a long time. The Democrats want to count people here illegally. Why? If each congressional district is roughly 700,000 people and we don't care if it's illegals or not, the Democrats are going to flood the country with illegals so they get more representatives in Democrat areas. That's why the census is such a big deal. Well, why are you bringing up the census? Because this is another way through gerrymandering, which the Democrats do all the time. Republicans do it too. But, you know, Republicans like the ones in Indiana don't want to fight this fight. Yet Democrats in Virginia are ready to wipe out nearly every single Republican member of Congress in a state that votes roughly 45 percent plus for Republicans. We've got to take the gloves off and fight. You have to fight back. If you're not willing to use their tactics against them, you're going to get smoked. they've clearly cheated in the census how do i know that here's a report on cnn a video clip on cnn not fox not on breitbart not on bongino report this is a cnn report one of the commentators is like yeah you know that census they probably scammed us a little bit and gave blue seats some gave blue states some seats they didn't deserve and took away some from red seats this is a big deal. Why? We've got like a member or two majority in Congress, depending on who's sick, who died, who's out for the day. One or two seats is everything. It means the chairmanships and the majority. It means impeachment or not in some cases. Check this out. One of the big things is it helps decide congressional maps. Does this have everything to do with redistricting? Well, it does. In fact, we know the 2020 census, the errors were almost always to the detriment of red states blue states like we know that we do know that the census bureau's own audit of its work has proven that blue states like rhode island were over counted rhode island then doesn't didn't lose a seat red states like alabama were under counted listen that's this is just a fact it wasn't all red blue but it was disproportionately red blue i love how on these cnn segments they're always stunned by reality which unintentionally segues i didn't even plan it usually i do but truth be I told him not even planned it this way. I had another direction. I was going with this next clip. But I'm just now seeing him back to back. We went through the show rundown and it just clicked to me. Like they're always kicked in the nuts by reality. This commentator, Brad Todd, comes in with the facts. Well, the Census Bureau did its own analysis on its own numbers and is admitting they basically undercounted red states and overcounted blue states, giving them extra seats. And she's like, do we know that? He's like, yes, we know that. It's in the data. You dumb nuts. can't you do your own homework they're constantly blindsided by the truth that's why this save act is such a big deal you're never going to have an accurate vote count if the number of seats are entirely skewed by a census cheating and ballot harvesting where you don't know who's returning the damn votes here's what i mean too by the liberal media folks parroting the narrative and always being seemingly surprised when reality kicks him in the nads right here's uh that uh abby lady from cnn and uh she's on the uh lydia i think her name is lydia moynahan i think i had her for a guest once i'm pretty sure on my on my fox show when i was doing unfiltered she's on the show and she starts reading these quotes i love pieces like this she starts reading these quotes that you know sound pretty like racist the racist and the host of the show is like, and the guests on the panels are stunned that these quotes are actually from Joe Biden. They don't know, they know none of this stuff. Consider yourself well-informed that you understand both sides, can balance equities, can balance inputs and produce a good quality output. These people still believe in the Russia hoax because their inputs are shit. Check this out. I've never heard Biden criticized and he eulogized a KKK recruiter, Senator Byrd. He said some kind of insane racist things like poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids. He didn't want his children growing up in a racial jungle. So you're talking about that bird said. No, that was what Biden said. Everybody remembers those Biden quotes. Everybody in my audience right now, the folks in the chat, you remember that? Those are Biden quotes. Everybody knows that you guys. It's just a fact. You guys are so well informed on politics. You guys remember that? Yeah. Who's it? Pedal the pug. LMA. Oh, yeah. They don't know anything. This lady's a commentator on CNN. You're not. Those are infamous Biden quotes. And their heroes are all frauds, too. These lefty phonies. They're here. Don Lemon. I'll address that with Secretary Noem later in that case as well their heroes are total frauds Don Lemon, Jasmine Crockett they openly admit to lying and never correcting the record this is why I tell you guys don't ever give an inch to these people on the apology brigade don't do it, it's not worth your time they don't apologize for anything, ever you do something blatantly morally wrong correct it to your family and god i'm serious man don't give an inch to these people they don't care when they're caught in a blatant lie they don't care that they don't know anything that host isn't even remotely embarrassed she had no idea those were biden quotes you knew here's jasmine crockett the new hero on the left running for the Senate in Texas. And I hope she wins that primary. Here she is. So just a little quick background. It's a short clip. This is not some hostile conservative interview, by the way. Jasmine Crockett made an allegation about Lee Zeldin, EPA secretary, getting a donation from a Jeffrey Epstein. Well, it wasn't Jeffrey Epstein, but it wasn't the Jeffrey Epstein in the current news cycle. It was a different guy. It's like getting a donation from a John Brown and it turns out to be a different John Brown. It's not him. It's a different guy. You think Jasmine Crockett's going to apologize? She says it right here. She's like double barrel. I'm not apologizing for anything. And all of a sudden we got our people always demanding immediate apologies. No, don't do it. Don't give an inch to these people ever under any circumstances because they don't care about any of this crap being right, being ethically right. They don't give a shit. Listen to our own words. Don't listen to me. Check this out. I see the moment on the House where you seem to accuse Republican Lee Zeldin of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein. But it seemed like if it was not the same person, I wonder, like, is there times in which the rhetoric goes too far? There are times in which you should say, you know, maybe I messed that one up. No, not in this environment. I don't. I think that, you know, we are really in uncharted territory. So I hear your argument that you're reflecting the urgency necessary. And so that's why it won't give an inch. Correct. so everything's justified quote by the urgency but it's amazing there was no urgency when millions of people many of them serious hardcore criminals and gangbangers were crossing our board i could give a thousand examples but this one should ring your bell there was no urgency there that republicans were justified and i'm not telling you we should lie or make things up ever That's not what I'm saying. But notice how the standards are completely different about what's urgent and when is when lying is OK. You get absolution from their heroes are all full of shit. This is why the left doesn't know anything, why they're always surprised by facts and data. Hey, the census was off. Who told you that? Are you sure that? Well, actually, the census said it themselves in their own data. Here's a quote. Poor white kid. Who said that? Robert Byrd. No, Biden. How did you miss that? Did you miss the last campaign? They don't know anything. Their heroes are morons. They have this martyr complex, too. This. This part tragically cracks me up, folks. You know, I told you my first day back. I'm just a guy who's got a show when Joy's talking about issues. I'm nobody's hero. I'm a sinner like everyone else. I'm glad you all want to be here. You know, 80,000 people tuning in right now. I'm honored. I really am. But I'm nobody's hero. Nothing special about me. I don't have like Professor X superpowers. The left doesn't do any of this. The left puts these people, these morons like Crockett and others on a pedestal and they make murders out of them. And they listen to crap like this. Here's Don Lemon. You know, is there's a pending ongoing criminal case. everybody's innocent until proven guilty that's the way this system works however don lemon's got some legal problems we can all agree for his role in walking into the church and confronting a bunch of people violating potentially their rights depending on how this court case works out we're going to see but here's don lemon keep comparing himself to a civil rights leader folks really you're not going to hear me doing that ever and you no one else i mean if you do it on our side you should be shunned. I told you, never over explain yourself. You did good things. People think you're a good guy. If you didn't do good things, people are going to think you're an asshole. Here, listen to this. Donna Lemon. Don Lemon comparing himself to the civil rights movement. Look at this clown. Check this out. Can you imagine the state having control of your freedom simply because they don't like that you are doing your job? so that was very frightening to me but in my time when i was there i thought about all the people who'd come before me i thought about all of the people who fought for civil rights who fought for gay rights all the people who were at stonewall marsha p clark i'm like yes those are the people those are the real heroes and so what's happening to me i have at least in this time that i'm living now more agency, more resources, more rights, and I would hope, than the people who are fighting for our freedom and our civil rights. It is mind-blowing that people still fall for this bullshit. The guy from his own video evidence and others around appears to have accosted people practicing their freedom of religion in a church by the way many of whom had absolutely nothing to do with this at all With the ice rage you claim to object to. Hat tip, Victor Davis Hanson, who does amazing work. I saw he may have had some health issues. So obviously all the best to you. Thinking about you. always one of the finest commentators of our time he just succinctly puts this i probably should have i wish i would have had this cut the other day because he said it better listen sometimes they just do it better and vdh one of these guys who almost always says it best victor davis hansen on how don don lemon he videotaped himself and he's conveniently leaving out the portion of the civil civil rights air quotes fight where he violates other people's civil rights who are practicing their religion. Check this out. First of all, Don Lemon is self-incriminating. He's on tape talking about with the leaders of this demonstration, I think even before that day that it actually occurred, the violence. And the way he talks and refers to himself, he sees himself as integral to that demonstration. And so if you don't arrest, prosecute, indict, prosecute Don Lemon, you're basically saying that people, because he said so. He said he had a First Amendment right, free speech. So what he didn't say was, I, Don Lemon, and now proclaim myself a journalist. So I can go into a church and participate and aid and abet people who are invading private property. They're disrupting a religious observance. They're shouting and silencing them. They're terrorizing children. And in some cases, they're blocking entrance and exits. And that's my right to do that because I now declare that I'm a journalist. It doesn't work that way. I saw this from a different perspective over the past year or two. I've always known the media to have this kind of insulated bubble around them where they look at themselves like they're the knights, the Praetorian Guard of truth and virtue and justice. I told you during my prior time in law enforcement when I was a young agent, when you're a new agent on the protective detail for the president, when you're a new agent, they stick you with the press. It's a way for you to kind of get your feet wet on the president's detail without like accidentally tripping over the president at a site before you know what you're doing and moving in formation and things like that. Why do I tell you that? you see a lot of the press when you go on a foreign trip or a domestic trip which i did a couple times a young agent you're the press agent you're around these people 12 16 20 hours a day on a long day i'm not talking about all of them i don't speak collectively like they do about us but i'm telling you a whole damn lot of them ladies and gentlemen are absolute morons the debauchery pre-video camera cell phone that used to go on on that press plane and media people don't pretend you don't know a lot of you are still around you know exactly what happened on that press plane don't bullshit people and don't even dare try to bullshit me okay some of these people are morons some of the conversations you would hear them having were things i swear to you you would hear from a 10 year old they have the vocabularies of a of a 12 year old if they're lucky in the thought process of a six year old not all of them some of them are you know smart They're just liberal and wrong, I think, on a lot of issues. But a huge chunk of them are absolute tools. They don't know a damn thing. That's why I always laugh when these guys, they write about these. You see it all the time on all of these networks. They get this, you know, State Department commentator. You're like, what the hell does this person know? A source. Who's your source? The guy going to get coffee for Rubio's deputy or something? Who the hell is your source? I would read this crap in the media about us over at DOJ and the FBI. And I'd be, where did they get this stupid ass story from? Even little things. We changed the PT test, the physical fitness test, to meet fitness standards appropriate for a law enforcement officer. Media went wild over that. Went absolutely wild over that. Some of the quotes were ridiculous. The hysteria that broke out. You had to do a pull up. a pull-up if you're a woman you can't do a you can't do a pull-up or a chin-up even easier folks i'm going to take a quick break but on the other side of this we got uh secretary christy noem coming up in a little over a half an hour on the show we're going to talk about the border wall the funding crisis over dhs that the democrats started we're talking about that ridiculous cbs news story about the deportation efforts and what it's like for her working for president trump who's the ultimate taskmaster on these things but i want to tee it up first by covering on background here on background means something but giving you the background on background means something different it means like off the record giving you the background on the misinformation out there right now about trump's deportation efforts and oh they're targeting grandma who's seeing a movie and has been in the country 10 years. That's not what's happening. It's total bullshit. I'm going to break it down for you and give you the real story. The other side of this break, our last break today, pdsdebt.com slash Bongino.

Thank you. pdsdebt.com slash Bongino. So, again, Secretary Noem coming up. But first, there's a real crisis going on right now with Democrats in government trying to stop. It's called the Department of Homeland Security for a reason. I don't love the various government departments. I wish we were more streamlined and efficient. But while we have these departments structured the way they are, can we at least keep the homeland secure? That's the point of the Department of Homeland Security. Why you would want to stop funding for the literally titled Department of Homeland Security is just a total knucklehead move. But that's what the Democrats want to do because they are totally uncomfortable with deportation efforts because they love using illegal immigration to create a welfare state and to basically fill back blue cities. People are draining out of because of the tax situation so they can keep their members of the House of Representatives. You saw the census segment last. Here's a segment Bill Malugin did on Fox yesterday. So the Democrats now, in order to get DHS funded, TSA, you want all this stuff shut down again? Listen, whether you believe they should exist or not, I get. That's a totally fair argument to have. But while we have them, we have no choice. You want to get an airport, we've got to deal with TSA and these other entities now. It is the way it is right now. Nobody wants another shutdown except the Democrats. They have ridiculous demands to give DHS their money or they're going to shut the government down partially yet again. Here's Malugian covering exactly that. Check this out. Fox News has confirmed that Senate Democrats have sent legislative text on a DHS spending plan to their Republican counterparts. Now, last week, you'll remember Chuck Schumer announced a list of 10 demands for ICE reforms. That includes judicial warrants, body cams and end-a-roving patrols, forcing ICE agents to unmask and also forcing them to carry and show ID. Well, the Senate's top Republican negotiator on that DHS bill, Senator Katie Britt, slammed those demands, writing in part, quote, Democrats' newest proposal is a ridiculous Christmas list of demands for the press. This is not negotiating in good faith, and it's not what the American people want. Other Senate Republicans point out that shutting down DHS will hurt TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard a whole lot more than it'll hurt ICE. And they say some of the Democrats' demands are non-starters. The request that we should put ICE agents in harm's way is absolutely intolerable. And again, the Democrats need to get serious. And at least one Senate Democrat believes a partial government shutdown is all but certain. They don't care. You'll be sitting on a damn line in an airport again for two freaking hours. They don't care. Unmasking ICE. I've got an idea. How about stop sending death threats to every ICE agent out there doing their damn jobs and maybe they wouldn't have to appear on everybody's cell phone with a mask on so their families don't get harassed, they don't get killed. This is bullshit. This is absolute insanity. Shut down the government so we can get more people in the country violating our laws and God forbid we actually pay people to enforce the law. they swore to a poll when they put their right hand up they're showing you how phony fake and fraudulent again these people are here's the second part of that this is a shorter cut of maluja now this one hold on before you play this one again is tragically hilarious tragic but also hilarious because the democrats i've told you my principles they have no principles at all you saw jasmine crockett don lemon all these but they don't principles civil rights what about the People praying in the church and their civil rights. They don't have principles. They have. Well, I think they have one principle, the acquisition and abuse of power. That's their rule. They all wanted body cams on ICE agents. Now, let me be clear on my position, which I've said umpteen thousand times here. I don't mind at all body cams on law enforcement at all. Matter of fact, I don't know if the story has made its way to the media. I'm surprised no one's leaked it. I pushed hard at the FBI to dramatically expand the body cam program because it keeps everybody safe. If you're doing the right thing, the body cam protects you. He called me a racial epithet. Let's go to the body cam. No, he didn't. Or if he did, he gets fired. End of story. I don't believe there's any downside to body cams on that. one of the main demands we've been hearing from democrats is they want ice to wear body cameras and republicans are okay with that but now democrats are saying they're worried those body cameras will be used to surveil or spy on anti-ice protesters or track them in some way so now hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer are saying they want restrictions on how those ice body cameras will be used so they love body cams and now they don't want body cams anymore Let me rephrase this. On net, I think they're a pot, but there are some downsides. I shouldn't have said it that way. On net obviously means that there's going to be some downsides, but the upsides outweigh it. Precise language matters. Folks, I was very honest with you about the surveillance state the other day. Very honest with you. I said, listen, I've seen a lot of frightening surveillance tools. Frightening surveillance tools in that they can do a lot of really powerful things. there that's why in addressing the guthrie case last night it's kind of hard for me to i have to be careful what i say because i don't want to tell you the tools that we do have when we need them because i don't want criminals to be able to circumvent and bypass those tools but they're frightening because under the wrong people they can be abused now body cans have been around a long time it's certainly not a new surveillance tool but yes it can be used to aggregate data to use that data to run ai through these filters these are things that all have to be considered however i think on net with the proper guardrails it is a fantastic technology to keep everybody safe the democrats are just bullshitters they just don't want to use an ax they don't want you to identify more criminals but they wanted to use body cams when they thought they would be an indictable tool to get some of our ice officers thrown in jail. And then they realize that misfeasance and malfeasance on behalf of ICE and CBP is very low. Well, if we can't use it to screw them, then I don't want it anymore. These people are full of shit. They don't mean a damn thing. They don't mean a word of what they say. I was honest about it. They're not. That's why I want to just hit this point again. You'll allow me for a minute. Be really careful, folks. Be really careful calling for the government to have an increased role with these powerful surveillance tools in surveilling everyday activities without at least some evidence of a predicate crime. Let me put meat on the bottom. I don't want to over explain this, but I said it in the opening show or the second show. These are very, very powerful tools. And the FBI shouldn't miss things at all. I don't care whose FBI it is, Biden's, Trump's, anyone. They're paid by the taxpayer to go and enforce federal law. However, sometimes these misses happen. All bad. We get it. OK, full stop. But part two is I see people online saying, well, the FBI should be surveilling all this stuff, you know, Reddit forums and elsewhere. Are we sure that? i'm not sure in a biden fbi or a jasmine crockett aoc bernie sanders fbi that i want the government in every single forum i'm in a lot of these uh firearms forums that i i like you know i go in and i like to see what people are talking so i get my i bought a 43x recently and i go in these forms. Do I want the government in there? A miss is a miss. You miss stuff, bad, period. But a counter overreaction of calling for the government to be monitoring every single chat room on Roblox and elsewhere. Folks, I'm telling you, I haven't seen the technology. That's not the answer. It's not. It makes the FBI's job really easy. But you know what it makes really hard abiding by constitutional principles and your freedom to be left alone if you're doing nothing wrong be really careful about this stuff secretary no i'm coming up i want to talk about this this is the misinformation piece i was talking about this is how the media does the framing the narrative building where they get a story out there that rockets around the globe and by the time the stories corrected in this asymmetric warfare game it's already too late people already believe it this cbs news piece came out yesterday this is narrative building it's meant to make you believe that donald trump and his team of you know jack booted thugs are out there deporting people who've been in the country or law abiding they were just sitting there watching a movie in the movie theater doing nothing wrong and a bunch of people rolled in and ripped them out of the movie theater that's the narrative they want you to believe that is not what's happening they were targeting criminals, violent criminals, people accused of breaking the law. And as I've told you now, and I'll bring it up again later, sometimes other illegals hang out with other illegals who've committed crimes. So they get deported to you shouldn't be in the country illegally. Here's the CBS news story I was talking about. Quote, Camila Montoya Galvez, less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's first year back in office had violent criminal records document shows you read that headline you're like wow man that's uh talking about 80 plus percent of people now who quote is the leftist narrative now mine they didn't do anything wrong and again to put well they're in the country illegally which means you did something wrong there's a process to come into the country trisha mclaughlin has been doing a good job batting some of this stuff down dhs spokesperson she put out this tweet that now clarifies you want to know the truth or not if you don't want to know the truth this isn't the show for you drug trafficking distribution of child pornography burglary fraud dui embezzlement solicitation of a minor human smuggling are all categorized according to some of the stuff as non-violent crimes she notes like we said 70 of those illegal aliens arrested under president trump and secretary you know have pending criminal charges or prior convictions folks I live this stuff. The president has a different approach to this. I've told you this a quadrillion times. If you're in the country illegally, he's given you about five minutes to cooperate. If you have information about a bigger fish that needs to be arrested and they can use you, if they can't use you, you're out. You're not spending any time in any unnecessary time beyond the obvious in our detention facilities where we got to feed you, take care of you, do all this stuff. You're going back to your home country that's it you may say well that seems obvious it's not it had never been done before on this scale nothing close had been done on this scale nothing that's why the crime rate is so freaking low right now because of this revolutionary approach to this stuff the rapid response account 47 put this out on twitter as well the fake news seems to think that illegal alien drug traffickers drunk drivers burglars and those with weapons charges whom And they classify as nonviolent offenders should be offenders should be left alone, allowed to roam freely within the United States, not under this administration. This is the stuff we have to shoot down. This is where over the past year I really missed you guys because I would read this stuff. I told you when I came back, did my first appearance with. You know, with Haley on her show, that Obamacare story drove me nuts. I can't believe Republicans didn't fight back harder. The Democrats want more taxpayer money for Obamacare, despite running for years that Obamacare was going to make health care cheaper and more affordable. The Republicans had almost not all of them, but like a feckless response to this. We got to subsidize Obamacare more money. Why not just say the whole thing is shit? And that's why the Democrats are trying to bail it out with more of your money, even though they told you require less of your money. I missed it so much debunking these just ridiculous narratives. There have been more wins as well. Excuse me. The TPS, temporary protected status. This is the stuff you don't hear about from them outside of media outlets that want to play it straight. See this tweet right here? Is it a Fox News story? The temporary protected status where a bunch of people were staying in the country almost permanently. Keep this up a second. Ninth Circuit issues orders siding with Trump DHS on terminating TPS for Nicaragua and Nepal and Honduras. Folks, it was called TPS, temporary protected status. It was not meant to be a permanent get out of jail free card where you get to stay in the country forever. That's why it was called temporary protected status. The court ruled the government's likely to win its case for terminating the status. There's more progress for the libs and the other folks who want you to believe nothing's ever happening. The Minnesota case with the anti ice protests and the fraud. They're up to now apparently close to one hundred fifty eight and growing arrests. I told you there's a limitation on the number of United States attorneys. The federal government doesn't have nationwide as many district attorneys, city states attorneys as municipalities, the state, local and territorial and tribal folks do. However, that's a pretty good haul and pretty good number of people. It's not the end game. But you see from this, you see all the other people pretending nothing's ever happening. It is happening. 158 arrests on these anti-ice protests. It was a zero hedge. Feds have charged 158 anti-ice agitators with federal crimes in Minnesota. Is this the end? Does this mean we stop calling for accountability? It doesn't mean any of that stuff. Not even close. It just means that the psychological operation to depress turnout and make you believe nothing is happening. So you sit at home and don't vote, which leads to an impeachment of President Trump in two years of hell and chaos again. I'm not letting it happen. I'll give you both sides of it, fair and square. I'm sorry to take kind of a quick, this should not be. This is the most ridiculous clip. I really, I hesitated to Mecklenburg County. Have you guys seen this? I hesitated to put this into the show. But folks, if you're going to be a public servant and you're going to raise your right hand and swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States and your state's constitution documents, then you should at least understand basic things. I get it. Once in a while, people are going to ask you, did you see the clip out of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina? You should know basic stuff. If you don't know the exact precise number of, say, white-collar crypto crime arrests, and you may be off by 10 or 15, say, hey, I'll get back to you. But knowing the basic structure of government is kind of a big deal. This clip went nuclear for all the wrong reasons out of North Carolina. The sheriff there in Mecklenburg County is being questioned. And I genuinely believe this. The representative asking him the question just asks him about the branches of government. I swear to you, this is not one of those gotcha questions. You can see by his reaction. He's genuinely stunned that the guy doesn't know. This is not a gotcha question at all. If you haven't seen this cut, get ready for like serious 100 out of 100 on the cringe scale. Check this out. What branch of government do you operate under? Mecklenburg County. What branch of government do you operate under, Sheriff? Constitution of the United States. Correct. That is what establishes the branches of government. I'm asking which branch you fall under. Mecklenburg County. I'm a duly sworn Mecklenburg County sheriff. We answer to the people of Mecklenburg County. This was not where I was anticipating getting stuck. Are you aware of how many branches of government there are? No. Okay. For the sake of debate, I will move on and say there are three branches of government, legislative, executive, judicial. Of those three, which do you believe you fall under? I believe I fall under the last one. Would you say it to me? Judicial. Okay. You are incorrect, sir. You fall under the executive. The chat Yes I see you guys in the chat i see mutley in there not bright okay hum fluoro five eek damn coops zero zero this is just terrible guys ladies it not like he just gets the first question wrong he just continues to double down i don't like pylons i don't i really don't i try to avoid them no you gotta know at least get one of them right do better just do better go home and pick up a charlie brown encyclopedia again i'm not telling you as a public servant that you're not going to screw up an answer it happens sometimes sometimes you're asked about a program that's operating underneath you. You've only been briefed on the atmospherics of it. Hey, I'll get back to you later. Fine. OK. But people in government should be held to a higher, not a lower standard. It certainly isn't about the pay, but it's about the principles. And that's why accountability matters. That leads me to this other clip. I don't know if you saw this. They've been making its way around social media of a judge reducing significantly the sentencing of this guy convicted of a horrific crime and sympathizing with the perp and not the victim. They had no chance at life. Either did the victim. This is why people have lost faith in institutions, folks, and it's going to take a long damn time to get him back. Check this out. Judge Davis thought the jury's recommendation was too long. She feels he hasn't mentally matured yet and never had a real shot at getting any help early in life. If you were to come in here and instead of being hurt and angry, which is what this court hears, as a 20-year-old African-American male that has experienced this society, etc., And you would show that, yes, okay, this is the situation. This is who I am. I don't want to be this person either. I don't want to be in jail forever. Thompson repeatedly stated he did not care, not about his sentence, the victim, or her family. But Judge Davis emphasized she's the one that holds the pen. And regardless of what the media may think, she applies the law. To her, 65 years was an extremely long time. As she puts it, it's his whole life, one she doesn't believe should be spent entirely behind bars. This court does not believe that Mr. Thompson, if given the resources that he can get while incarcerated, is beyond being rehabilitated. He's not going to get the resources. He's going to spend his whole life and go, oh, boo-hoo. Cry me a river, man. this is what happens when you view the world in this utopian pollyannaish vision where you don't see the balance between good and evil evil that's very real you see the bad guy the perpetrator is being a victim of a corrupt society folks that's not the way this is ever going to work victims have rights too that kind of stuff pisses me off i don't want to keep uh the secretary waiting anymore. I'm really excited about this interview. So now, Madam Secretary, the DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem. I'm really excited to have this guest today, a vast body of both legislative and now law enforcement experience, Statehouse, Congress, Governor of South Dakota, and now our absolutely incredible and an unprecedented year, Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. Madam Secretary, thank you so much for spending some time with us today. So much to talk about. Really appreciate it. No, thank you, Dan. I appreciate it, too. The Department of Homeland Security does a lot of different things to keep our country safe. And it's great to be able to have a conversation about it. Well, it was incredible to be able to work with you and your team on the inside. We had so many projects together. But I think one of the projects, unfortunately, we all had to perpetually deal with is, you know, media BS and misinformation. They just can't. You know, I love and worship the freedom of the press. Right. but that gives them the freedom to say really dumb things. And I saw one of them yesterday. It was a CBS piece that totally mischaracterized their efforts. It rocketed around the Internet, saying something to the effect of, you know, only 14 percent of people who are deported are basically criminals or convicted of violent crimes. That's a total mischaracterization of the deportation efforts led by you, the AG, the FBI, ERO, DHS and elsewhere. I'd like you to just give your perspective on that and how they kind of skewed the story and framed it all wrong. That's probably the thing that shocks me the most, Dan, is how many times every single day we have to correct false stories and information that's out there in the press that just isn't accurate, how they're lying about what we're doing to secure our country each and every day. So, yes, that CBS story was completely false. It doesn't reflect any of the real charges and convictions that individuals have against them that we're arresting and removing out of this country. It doesn't include DUIs or child pornography, distribution of drugs or use of drugs. It doesn't have any of those convictions attached to that article or that percentage in there. Seventy percent of the individuals that we've arrested have charges or criminal convictions against them. And those are the individuals we're bringing to justice and getting out of our country. Yeah. Earlier in the show, we put up a tweet by Tricia, who's doing an excellent job trying to correct a lot of this nonsense. Tricia McLaughlin, hat tip to her, showing how when you categorize people by pending criminal charges, again, you indicated DUI, possession of disgusting child pornography and things like that. All of a sudden, the number rockets up by a factor of four to five. It's a totally different number. So, you know, again, it's how the media frames these things and these narratives start to calcify and rocket around the world. You and I lived it from day one. You know how it works. I was trying to explain this on the show the other day, and I'd love your perspective because your team is actually leading the efforts. The Department of Justice and FBI were in the supplemental role in ERO, removal operations for deportations. What winds up happening is we are not out there targeting, you know, grandma. But what winds up happening is you go out and target, say, like you said, someone who's holding a bunch of child pornography or DUI guys in the country illegally. Sometimes they're hanging around, oftentimes, with other people who are in the country illegally who still broke the law. When you raise your right hand, Madam Secretary, you didn't say, like, I'm going to just enforce the law for some people, and then they may get deported to Title VIII. That's how it works. And that's why that number isn't 100%. 100%. No, absolutely. You're correct, Dan. We go out there. That invasion allowed thousands and thousands of dangerous people into our country. When the southern border was open under the Biden administration, millions of people flooded into this country and other countries sent their degenerates. They emptied out their prisons, their mental institutions, and they all came to America. And now that's what keeps me awake at night is who is in this country now that is a terrorist, a suspected terrorist, a criminal, and someone who's victimizing the American people. And that's who we target every single day. Now, when we find those targets, when we know they're known traffickers or they're members of TDA or MS-13, or they've been out there perpetuating crimes across the country, we always see who they're surrounded with, who are those individuals that they're with. Many times they have other criminals that are here in this country illegally around them, and we make sure that we follow the same law enforcement procedures we have for years. We haven't changed how we operate at all. When we go after those targets, we find them. We make sure that those individuals that are with them in that apartment or in that surroundings or where we've come into contact with them, that those individuals aren't dangerous as well. And Madam Secretary, you know, I don't know why this is even controversial. You know, I'm married to a legal immigrant to the country, went through the process. No one's saying do not come to the United States. We're saying there's a process. Go to a port of entry. You know, get a visa. Go through the green card process. Go through the naturalization process. There's a process. There's a process. There's a process for boarding a plane. There's a process everywhere else. If you're in the country illegally and you're caught up because you're hanging around with criminals, you are going to be deported. I know working with your team, Secretary Cristino's like, hey, you know what? Well, you're kind of the nice one. I'm really sorry, but you broke the law. I mean, the commercials out on TV are pretty clear on this. We're giving you the opportunity to go home and come back the right way at some point, maybe. But if you're here illegally, you're going to go. That's right. Every single individual has received due process. They've been through the procedure and the legal remedy for dealing with individuals who don't have legal status in our country. I tell members of Congress all the time who are out there creating false narratives and spewing rhetoric. We just follow the law. What the Department of Homeland Security is doing is what the last administration should have done. We follow the law and we've won many of the challenges in court. But every single day, the media individuals lie about the work that we're doing. And what we're doing is specifically what President Trump promised. He just promised he'd make America safe again. He'd go after criminals and he'd deport them out of the country so they couldn't continue to victimize American families. And we've been incredibly successful with that. And in fact, just by enforcing the law, we've sent the message clearly around the world that, you know, the United States, you can't come here illegally anymore. We now have a border and we're enforcing that. We've had millions of people that have left our country voluntarily, that we have given them a dollar, a thousand dollars before. We've now upped it to twenty six hundred dollars and a plane ticket and they can go home the right way and get the chance to come back to the United States. But sending that message has slowed down the flood of people that were coming to the United States and making sure that we're enforcing our laws, encouraging people to go back home, make your life in your country. And then when you want to become an American, then do it the right way and follow our laws. Madam Secretary, you know, the left, it's almost comical that they pledged this allegiance to science and data. And yet you just said something before we were talking about making America safe again. And the president, through his leadership, is in charge. And I played earlier in the show a clip by RFK. RFK was pretty clear that the president is he wants you to get the mission done. He's not into this cutesy time stuff. You want a friend, get a dog. He wants results. You know it. I know it. You know, he'll have a coffee with you at Mar-a-Lago or whatever. But you better damn well produce results. So through partnerships with DOJ, DHS, your incredible agents over there, FBI, marshals over at DOJ, DEA, all of these various operations, deportations and the violent crime push, Shummer Heat, violent crimes now at the lowest. The drop is unprecedented in modern history. The murder rate, we haven't seen this low since I think it was something like the early 1900s. These are real results. You think the media, the science party would be celebrating this stuff. Yeah, we've got the lowest murder rate in 125 years in this country because of President Trump enforcing the law and going after those dangerous criminals. And we've also got, Dan, because of enforcing the law at the southern border, the fentanyl deaths in the United States just in the last year have dropped by over 30 percent. So he has literally saved millions of lives by the amount of drugs that we're interdicting, by the amount of people that we're bringing to justice that we're perpetuating these crimes. Just remarkable the achievements that President Trump has brought to bear in the United States because he's following through on what he promised during that campaign. So, yeah, I think RFK is exactly right. The president wants results. He wants us to make a difference, go out there and be bold, enforce the law, but do what he promised. And we get the chance to do that every day at our department. Well, you have a unique perspective on this. Again, having been a governor, having been a member of Congress, you've seen the political garbage engagement ship. I mean, it happens. Politics is horse trading. You know, it's not a monarchy. You don't just say go forth to love and serve and do whatever you want. You've got to give a little and take a little. Hopefully you take a little bit more. But that's not this president. You've probably seen in the past how it's like, well, let's poll test this. Lick our fingers, see where the wind is blowing. Let's see what this person. And they see how the media is going to respond. You know, it happens. It has with a thousand other politicians and presidents in the past. Both parties do it. This president, you've seen it. I've seen it. He just doesn't do that. He's so mission focused. That's why I played this Kevin O'Leary clip the other day about signal versus noise. This guy's all signal. He just doesn't care about the noise. He's like, hey, Christy, drop the damn crime rate and deport people. OK, Mr. President, he's not going to sit there and take a poll test on every single thing. He wants the mission done. Yeah, that's exactly right. He's so decisive this term. And I worked with him a little bit the first term, but I was serving in Congress then and then as governor. But now that I get the chance to work in his cabinet and to lead the department, he's so decisive. He wants you to take your department and go do the right thing and follow through on what he said. And what I think people don't realize is how often he's communicating with all of us. He's calling me every day, texting me. We're having conversations. He's asking questions, but he wants to make sure that we're actually making progress. He doesn't want to waste time. He's very aware that we only have three years left. We only have three years left to fundamentally put this country back on its foundation. The Department of Homeland Security was established after 9-11 when our country was attacked by terrorists. And this agency has 23 different departments under its umbrella. So we have everything from FEMA, which is responsible for the continuation of government, TSA, which is the security at our airlines across the country. We have Secret Service. We have the Coast Guard. I mean, lots of different topics and different breadth of issues that happen in this department. He recognizes the complexity of that, but also the singular mission that's to defend our homeland. And if people can't be safe here, then they don't have the chance at an American dream. So he's very much grieved and bothered by the stories of Americans who've lost loved ones because of illegal crime, those who've lost people and friends and their treasures to people that shouldn't be here to begin with. And he hates the kind of fraud that he's seen where American taxpayers' dollars have been stolen by people and funneled overseas to people who shouldn't be receiving those benefits. He very much cares about all of that and wants to see results and he wants to see it fixed now. Yeah, I tell people all the time his favorite question is why not? Like outside of constitutional legal restrictions, like, well, why can't we do that? Well, the murder rate's never been that low. It's not. Well, why not? Why can't we get it lower? If you told him there were, you know, 13,000 homicides, it was low. He's like, why aren't there 12? It's his favorite question is why not? But a current political football right now that unfortunately involves your department is this funding over DHS that you, again, haven't been a member of Congress. You're all too familiar with these fights. You've probably been through quite a few yourself. This should not be a political football. It is literally called the Department of Homeland Security. There should be nothing controversial about the funding. Now, ICE will probably be OK. I mean, this isn't great for anyone. However, if this funding based on these unreasonable, ridiculous demands the Democrats are putting out there for DHS is held up, you have TSA, you have Secret Service. You're not just, you know, ICBP, DHS. You've got a lot of departments under the DHS that would be pretty severely impacted. Yeah, we do. We have weapons of mass destruction, intelligence and analysis. We've got science and technology. We've got some national labs. Just the breadth of this department is all focused on keeping the homeland safe. And when you don't fund that, just day to day activities are are jeopardized. You know, I tell people all the time, my best days are days that you don't hear about anything bad happening, because those are days that we did our job, that our airports were safe. Nobody got through a security checkpoint that was dangerous, that, you know, Secret Service was able to keep all of its protectees safe. The Coast Guard did its missions with the Department of War successfully and made sure that they were interdicting and stopping people at the southern border, that CBP was collecting all of our tariffs and doing it accurately while they were screening different products and goods and shipping containers coming into this country. So those are my best days. But if you don't fund this department because of ICE, because of 11 percent of the budget that funds ICE, It shows that you don't truly understand what our mission is Or you don't care about the country and the security of our country So that's what is dangerous about these Democrats Is they're using a little small agency of ICE That's 11% of the budget and putting our entire security in jeopardy And ICE is going to be funded anyway So because of the big beautiful bill They have enough funding to keep going The ones that didn't receive funding under that bill such as TSA and Secret Service, and those are ones that will truly be hurt. Yeah, I think you said something really important there, too. You know, we used to say in the Secret Service, you know, no one ever thanks you for keeping the president safe. It's assumed that's your job. That's what you do. And in the FBI and with your department over at DHS, no one knows about the terror attack. We stopped because we stopped it and we don't necessarily advertise all of some of it. If there's an arrest in this process, gets out to the public, but some of it still remains classified and you don't hear about a lot of that. And that's the kind of stuff Democrats up on the hill, you know, hipsy and sissy, they know about this stuff and they know it's going to create a dangerous situation for the country. And they either don't care or they don't care enough to actually do the right thing. I just a couple more minutes with you. I know you're busy and I appreciate your time. I know it's an active ongoing criminal case, Don Lemon with this, but that case really epitomized for me this kind of martyr complex the modern media has, you know, where there's a conflict of the, you know, your civil rights, your bill of rights, entitlement to practice your religion for free versus the freedom of the press, which we all respect. However, when they conflict, we have a process in courts and they're going to figure it out. But you don't get to just walk in a church and basically terrorize people, whether you're him or anyone else. And then, you know, expect that we're not going to use the law to make sure we in trying those other people's rights as well, their right to practice their religion freely. that's right and that's what is so special about this president and this department of justice is that they're going after individuals who truly do jeopardize the safety of americans and use the law and our court system to make sure that the right decision is done don lemon's not above the law nobody else is above the law and this doj will prosecute and bring people to justice especially individuals who are there worshiping and spending time with their families to have that be violated in the way that it was in a pre-planned staged attack to intimidate and to scare people, I think is a very dangerous precedent to set in this country. So I'm glad that President Trump and his Department of Justice were making sure that that wasn't overlooked. Yeah. And I see there have been a number of arrests that are going to continue out of Minneapolis. A story I'm going to cover either tomorrow or the next day about that as well. last question for you and this is one I get from the audience all the time there are always questions that pop up about the border wall obviously an extremely important tool for us to delay the process you know listen border walls walls they work they slow people down is it a 100% fail safe I love when people say well you know well they can go get a ladder well of course you know murder's illegal and people still unbelievably find ways to do it thinking they're going to get away with it. However, it is a significant obstacle. The technology is as old as the wheel and fire because it works. It stops people from walking across. Where are we on the border? Well, I've seen some stories in the news about it. How are you feeling about getting a good amount of it constructed before this term is over, this president's term? Yeah, we've got the wall under construction. We're continuing to build. We've already contracted out over $13 billion in construction contracts. People are down there every day building miles of wall, and we need a wall. There's three different layers to the system, which was planned. There's a primary wall, a secondary wall, and technology. But with President Trump, the conversations I've had with him is we need to prioritize the primary wall. We need to make sure that we don't just have technology in this space where the next administration, if they don't care about a secure border, can turn that technology off. So building that wall is incredibly important, and the schedule right now is set that it will be completed by January of 2028. So we're building fast. We're grateful Congress gave us the dollars to do that and recognize that that's a big part of our security. And we're under underway and getting it done. Madam Secretary, you're doing an amazing job. Listen, I tell my audience all the time, we don't know Squish is on the show. You are the you're the best. I mean, working with your team was incredible. You know, I can tell, by the way, The left wing media hates you. So if they hate you, you're always doing a good job so that they always target the people who are effective. You're doing amazing. Your department was a pleasure to work with. The emergency removal ops have had an amazing effect on our national security. A real message has been sent. The United States is safe again. The border is safe again. It's due to your leadership over there. It's really been an honor to have you on the show. Thanks so much for for keeping America safe again. We really appreciate it. You're fantastic, Dan. Thank you so much for all of your work in the administration and outside to make sure that people know the truth of what's going on, what's wrong, what needs to be fixed and what President Trump, what his plan is to make sure that we are safe again and that we are secure and we still continue to be an example to the world. So thank you. Thank you, man. Appreciate your time. All right, folks, that was Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. Again, I can tell you, having worked with her team, just they're doing an incredible job. These emergency removal operations have had a huge impact on national security. You look at the number. Don't take my word for it. Just look at the numbers. Go put it in the Google machine or whatever. Violent crime reduction. Donald Trump. Murder rate. Lowest in modern American history. May turn out to be next year the lowest in American history ever. Because I'm telling you, this guy does not take victory laps. The president. He's like, it was lowest? Well, let's make it lower. And it must make it lower than that. That's how he works. Folks, thanks again for joining the chat.
