The Hidden Knowledge Grift (Ep. 2482)

All America all the time sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. Yeah. So I got a show for you today folks. I promise you're going to love this one. Well see, but right out of the shoot, did you see what happened last night? The Democrat obstructionist in the Senate who gave you a double barrel middle finger and told you to sit on a line Atlanta airport for four hours at TSA for 40 plus days last night. Magically they had one of these come to Jesus moments. What happened? What happened? Why did the Senate last night? Did you miss it? Why did the Senate decide to open up the spigot, the Democrats in the Senate to getting DHS and TSA funded? Be like, well, Dan, I mean, you're probably thinking they saw the suffering. Justin, they saw the suffering. Justin Jasmine, they saw the suffering at the airport. The empathetic coexist. Everyone should unite and be tolerant Democrats. They saw your suffering. They were crying. We're crying over it. The Democrats saw it and they said, we've got to help the people. Apple said that's not what happened at all. What happened is Donald Trump was going to come to the rescue again. An executive order about funding TSA popped. He was going to get them funded on some emergency basis so that the airports don't go boom. And then the Democrats realized they would take a political loss. In other words, kick me into Jimmy. They were going to get kicked right in the gonadal regions by Donald Trump and look like fools as Donald Trump opened up the TSA spigot, got them paid so he can go back to work. And the Democrats just didn't want to take a political loss. You may say, but they were fighting for the people, man. Actually, they were fighting for open borders. They said, we're not funding THS until you open up the border. Basically, that was their stance on this. And you may say, well, surely they got some reforms. 42 days you had to suffer at an airport because the Democrats surely they busted their ass and got some open border reforms they love. No, no, they got nothing. They got nothing. They got nothing of substance they asked for. There was some concessions. Republicans are in me. They got nothing. So there's your morning coffee for you on a Friday. But folks, I got a series of videos coming up for you about three in a row to open the show. I believe me it repulses me to continue to have to do this. But if we don't save our movement from the hidden knowledge, air quotes, grifters out there, there's not going to be a movement left. This is not tough. No one's asking us to go into combat and fight in the battle of the bulge. This is not hard work. This is just us presenting a series of different ideas as to where our party should go. Don't let anyone tell you, oh, there's civil war. It's no civil war. It's not a war at all. It's just a battle of ideas. You got me and a group of others on this side and others on the other side. This is necessary. I'll show you these videos in a minute. If this doesn't prove the point to you that you're being taken advantage of if you're falling for this stuff, nothing ever will. So this may be my last shot at this. This one is the most telltale sign. Hey, think about this in 2006. $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at the spot price. At today's prices, those 33 ounces would be worth over $150,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. That's why I buy my gold and have many times from Birch Gold Group. BIRCH, it's a crucial part of my balanced financial strategy. It gives me peace of mind during volatility and all the events that could happen in the U.S. economy moving forward. It's my way of financial insurance. See if holding out gold in a tax shelter retirement account is right for you too. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA and gold. Just text my last name, Bonjino, B-O-N-G-I-N-O to the number 989898, you'll receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, me included, let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold. Now that's peace of mind. Text Bonjino to 989898, again, text my last name, Bonjino to the number 989898, message and data rate supply. All right, fellas, let's go. All right, we're going to have to dig deep here a minute. But this is one of those moments we all need sometimes. There's nothing wrong with it, folks. Do we don't buy into the left wing created narratives that the movements in a civil war, everybody's at each other's throats. That's all bullshit. That's leftist fairy tale thinking. That's a leftist versions of Aesop's fables. That's not what's happening right now. What's happening is no different than what happens every four years during a presidential election. Various candidates within the Republican Party go at each other. We come out, we coalesce, we win an election. That's just the way it's always worked. I've been through this before, so have you. Do you remember how hostile the Santas Trump primary was? Do you remember how hostile the Trump initial 2016 primary was? I mean, this is nothing new. You got to police up your movement sometimes. It's no big deal. Do it with a smile. The truth matters. The process matters. Folks, why we are such a glorious Republican while we're so different than anyone else? We just are. We are the richest country in the history of sentient beings anywhere in the known cosmos. That's a fact. And you live here right now in the freest place despite all of our shortcomings in the history of humankind. That's not only the freest, but is also the richest and is also the most powerful. There's nothing to complain about. When you fight for the place, we're going to do it with a smile, even if the place is a place within the place, which is our movement. This is, we're different because of process. We don't allow star chambers. We don't allow that, you know, in our court system to be hijacked by charlatans. We give even the worst perps, the worst perpetrators, the serial murderers, the rapists, the terrorists. The terrorists, we even give them process. Why? Because we are a society based in truth and reason and a process to get to truth. The left doesn't want that. The left respects only chaos. It is a tool for them because they understand in the cloud of leftist induced chaos, whether through messaging or actual street chaos, human beings get lost and they just want sanity and stability back. They just want to get back to normal. They want a regression to the mean. And if the only source of that is some charismatic figure that comes out screaming how this new form of national socialism or whatever is going to take us back to normal, people will follow in times of great stress and chaos. What's made us great is this country has a process that avoids unending chaos and the destruction of the republic. Be wary, folks, of people telling you us story, not those story. People who make bold assertions devoid of evidence versus people who produce bevvies of evidence and keep their assumptions in the system to let the process play out. There's a difference, man. There's a war on the objective truth going on. The left has done this for years. It's the whole basis of their war on men versus women. What's a woman thing? That is an objective truth. There's a difference between men and women. When you get into this critical theory stuff and the leftists with their, there's no objective truth. It's just a white male patriarchy and knowledge is just a construct of power. They have the power in their line was trust nothing. That's what they want. They want chaos. Trust nothing, trust nothing, trust nothing. You see people sneaking in our tent, trying this same trick now. Trust nothing, trust no one. It's all chaos. Everyone's lying to you. Even people you've trusted forever who've been with you through all the fights. Don't trust them either. But trust me because I have this hidden knowledge. Folks, the people who have this hidden knowledge, by the way, they always tell you a story, not the story. And if you notice the hallmark of all their stories, they're fascinating. And I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way. They're fascinating. There are endless pseudo connections of disparate facts. A Lego here, a Lego there. We showed you in that video. They never actually connect to Legos, but you do because they're charismatic delivery systems. Just because they tell you a fantastic story doesn't mean any of it's actually true. Folks, the process is what makes us different. The process is what makes us different. Once we invert the process and everyone is guilty until proven innocent, this is nothing more than a thugocracy. I've warned you about this many times. It's starting to seep in. I want to show you what I mean by this hidden knowledge grift. How again, people like me and others who go and swear in are forced to produce court ready material and facts. We're not here to produce bold opinions on the other side. You're there to produce bold facts. That's the way our process works to present, to prevent innocent people from being targeted by a weaponized government. I like that's happened before using Legos that never connect. They always claim, however, to have this hidden knowledge that they never actually get to. They never actually tell you what it is and people keep falling for it. Hat tip, is this all milk bar TV? I want to show you what I mean. I want to get overly over the top of any one person. Really, I've had enough of the whole thing. But take a look at this compilation from milk bar TV here of Candice Owens on the Charlie Kirk investigation. Whereas, we had to produce facts. Her producing tomorrow's episode. Check this out. Dangerously close to something. We are dead close to something. And I think every day we are inching closer to killed Charlie Kirk. You know, we're getting close. We're inching ever closer. We are inching closer a little closer to solving the Charlie Kirk murder. Good. I'm getting very close. And we are getting very close. But I'm getting closer. I'm getting real close. My prayers are with you, Candice. You are close. We are close. And we're getting closer to the truth. Get closer. We are getting close. Getting close. You see it. You see the hidden knowledge, grift, how it works. They've got it. This is the maybe agent myself, guys. This is the Charlie Brown football issue. He falls for it every time. The football is never going to be there to kick, Charlie. Now, showing you how the left embraces this too. Again, folks, it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. If it wasn't so sad, the tragedy around all of these commentary, the commentary class, making advantage of this widow and her children. But I want you to see side by side how information chaos, the lack of process, hidden knowledge, and the chaos that comes along with hidden knowledge. Because there's no truth. It's just a bunch of randomly thrown out Legos that I told you never connect. The hidden knowledge, grift, how the left has implanted this bug on our side, our side air quotes, and is enjoying the destruction of this and will flip on a dime. Remember I called this the ox's gourd effect? As long as the enemy and my enemy is my friend, they can use that, they will. People they've destroyed in the past. I hate this person. I can't stand Candice. They love them now because of the chaos seated within the 10th. They're like, I couldn't have done this job better myself. This is fantastic. Here's Kank. You know Kank Ogre from the Young Turds? I had him on the show once. He was oddly calm that day. I don't know if he'd taken sedatives or what. He lost it on the Piers Morgan show recently. Kank has a quiet obsession with me. It's kind of weird. It's just a little strange Kank. However, here's Kank in one of his co-hosts destroying Candice Owens and ended another clip when Candice was sowing chaos on our side. All of a sudden they're huge Candice Owens fans. It's almost like these people have no principles. Check this out. I'm not going to denounce Tucker Carlson or Candice Owens. Yeah, I said it Candice. You're the worst of the worst. You're a sellout. No, we don't have to denounce her at all. Okay. You're a scum of the earth. None of that money is worth it. None of it is worth it. There is a concerted effort to make Candice Owens look like she's absolutely insane, but it looks like Candice Owens was onto something. Candice Owens is not someone that anyone takes seriously, including people on the right. The people accusing her of being crazy are the real insane people. Candice Owens, who once argued that the problem with Hitler was his love for globalization and not the fact that he slaughtered 6 million Jewish people. Don't come at me about denouncing Candice Owens until you denounce Jared Kushner. People like Candice Owens lead pathetic lives because they're paid to sell their own identity out. None of the things that she says is true. I guess to get paid handsomely. I don't know how they sleep at night. That's add Dan Burmese, Burmese, but listen, thanks for the video. This folks, did you, when you see those videos side by side, how can you not come to the conclusion that everyone else, I'm not talking to the Bonjino army folks. You guys have forgotten it for a long time. This is all a scam. This is a left wing virus inserted into a right wing host, trying to cause chaos and distrust amongst everybody in our own tent. So all it is is this, the Spider-Man, the Spider-Man meme that you see on X all the time. You did it. You did it. Spider-Man pointing to Spider-Man. If you've been there, I'm sorry, I talk in memes a lot. I do spend a lot of time on some of these platforms doing show prep. This is all this is. It is so obvious. They want to create distrust. The best way to create this distrust. There it is. Thank you. That there for those of you who are not online chronically as much, I probably have more screen time than Haley. I have to compare that sometime. I don't know. She says she's the queen of screen time. Folks, when you create distrust, even in people you have trusted in the past who've been there in the fights, you have no reason to distrust. All of a sudden, people have to look for another place to put their loyalty or their faith and fidelity in some other cause. And that cause is conveniently led by people who are telling you, hey, either buy my merch here or subscribe to my show here. I want to show you what the hidden knowledge problem causes in people. How they fold under even a modicum of pressure. I've never met these guys, but I saw this this morning, a friend of mine, one of my old producers sent this over. This is a debate, a snippet of it. It's about a minute. It's not very long between Andrew Wilson and a Zach Costello. I'm not going to say anything in advance. I just want you to think about this in terms of what chaos and hidden knowledge looks like when people actually ask you to produce said hidden knowledge and back up your claims. This is exactly what it looks like in a back and forth. This is Dan's favorite video of the day talking about myself and the third person. Check this out. He didn't necessarily give any evidence, but what what he encouraged was the idea that again, there are that the concerns that many of us have are in fact legitimate. If what? What? Well, no, he didn't. That's a lie. Like you're just lying. He didn't. He didn't actually give any evidence which would show that your concerns are legitimate. That's literally not true. I don't even know why you would say that. It is actually factually not true that he gave any evidence that he expected on his terms. Let me make the point. You it is not in fact the case that Joe Kent validated any concerns of yours or Candice's or Ian Carroll's with evidence of any kind whatsoever. So where's the validation that he just feels this way? That's the valid. I just feel that way. Is that the validation dude? No, he said in the interview with Mark Levin that there is evidence that he was not able to to share because it was classified. Oh, well, that's really convenient. But so no evidence then again. Why I guess. Oh, hang on. I just want to make sure I got this right. So you're saying no evidence, right? That's what you're actually saying. No, I'm not saying. So what's the evidence? What's the evidence that he gave? So what's the evidence that we have access to? And you don't have evidence? Well, okay. Now, there to you. You don't have any evidence that yeah, well, no, I do. I have the evidence that the state has released thus far. Okay, you have a counterclaim to the state. You have a burden of evidence now to to refute the state. You saying I don't have access to evidence that the state has access to is not an argument for your evidence. Folks process process, innocent to proven guilty due process. The government be enforced to to supersede some burden of proof before they come in, kick your freaking door in with the Democrats want the opposite. They've already done it by weaponizing the government, the guns and the badges against Donald Trump and the rest of us. We want to go back to that and shit on the process and throw it out the window and just say it's all about the freaking feels now. It's not about the feels. It's about saving everything that has made this country actually unique. There's nothing like us anywhere precisely because the process is painful and tough. And it takes a long time. And there are hearings on top of hearings. And you've got to go through burden of proof exercises. You can't just get the feels about so I don't like that guy. The Democrats had the feels about Donald Trump. What happened to him? He found himself in a bunch of mug shots for crimes that never happened with no victims. This isn't about the feels. It's about doing the right thing that has led us here to this point. It's data point. Just never tell you what it is. I want you to watch this video and I want to show you what I'm talking about here. Folks, Arthur Brooks does a lot of work on happiness and actually why people are happy. Some people are happy. Some people are miserable. This is just a short segment, but he talks about voluntary suffering here. This is what we've agreed to collectively take on as a republic to not do things easy for the government where the government as a star chamber can pull people in. No process required. Guilty death by you ever see the Batman movie with scarecrow? We don't do that. We go through a long painful process that requires work and a little bit of suffering to do this. Voluntary suffering is what makes us all better. Voluntarily going to the gym and working out. It builds resistance and resilience as a republic. I'm not going to let that all fall apart. Watch this clip and you'll see this is based in sociology and psychology. This is real stuff. Check this out. If it's not of our own volition, you know those old mouse studies where mice are subjected to exercise? They're made to run in a treadmill and their cortisol levels are unbelievably high and they die. Then they actually put the same wheels out in the field and field mice just find the wheels and run on them and they live longer. I've probably heard you talk about these studies, right? I don't think I've talked about them, but I'm from the stress studies. Yeah, it's involuntary versus voluntary stress. Turn all stress into voluntary stress through non-resistance and it'll make you stronger and better. If something bad is happening in your life, you can bring it on, bring it on just like the gym. You know, somebody rejected you, you're beloved. I thought I was going to marry her and she turns out she loves somebody else. That's the gym. That's the emotional gym. Your dorsal and posterior cingulate cortex is going crazy. You're like, I invited that. I invite this and that's your resistance actually falling and your suffering will actually fall paradoxically even while your pain is high. That's where you will actually learn and grow and find your meaning. I love that clip. It is so important that we all understand that this is a process every movement goes through. Do it with a smile. I see some people in the chat are like, Hey, I don't want to talk about this. I understand. I get it. It's not the most pleasant topic to talk about, but it's a necessary one. This is the voluntary suffering we all have to go through to make sure our movement is strong over time, not just in the short term. I'm going to skip ahead to something in a second that Philly protests segment. Justin next. I'm going to take a quick break, but I want to show you why it's so important. What we're fighting. There was a protest in Philly and I absolutely love exposing these people, especially when they say the quiet part right out loud. You don't have to do an advanced Freudian psychoanalytic ego, super ego it approach. They just tell you this is what I'm concerned about. Some of these same people are some of the same people I believe funding and producing this virus that's infiltrated the host on the right. Wait till you see this video. This is abhorrent, just absolutely disgusting. This is the stuff we're fighting.

So we've been through a lot. We've been through some hard weather down here in Florida. We had like a freeze for the first time and they made it to Plainsman, Florida. You believe that? Like a freeze, but nobody knew what to do. The iguanas fallen from the trees and finding iguanas everywhere. I think Lucy was busy eating them. She had a nice lizard lunch there. Folks, these are the people we're fighting. When they tell you who they are, just listen to them. They know they can't take us on in a head to head battle. They know that. We just showed it in the last election with the overwhelming victory by Donald Trump. Watch these people. Listen to this at the Philly protest. They're cheering for what? Did I hear this correctly? Check this out. I'm telling you I've done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees. Let us not lose sight of the enemy. For every U.S. military based on crumbles. And for every U.S. soldier who returns home in the casket, we'll cheer. Hamas, Osvala, Osrala, all of the resistance forces we celebrate, these popular voices on the ground spend every waking moment in direct confrontation with Zionism and they rely on a stronger audience state to maintain their fighting capacity. Do you hate America? May Osvala get the family's help. They're so proud of themselves, these little dipshits. They won't uncover their faces yet. They want ICE agents who were doing their patriotic duty and enforcing the law to uncover theirs so they can send death threats to their homes and dox them and things like that. They are cheering. Soldiers coming home in caskets. Did I hear that correctly? You did. Hat tip, I and on, Patriot via X on that. These are some of the same people spreading the exact same message to the hidden knowledge grifter class. If they sound the same, a lot of it. That's because it is the anti-military talk now. The hidden knowledge grifters may not be talking about cheering soldiers coming home in a casket, but you see some of them like, don't sign up for the military. Trump, Hague said, just the anti-military narrative. It's the exact same narrative. Look at this just creeped out from the Ayatollah who is dead, like gone, like didn't obey the Dan Bongino show rule number one, don't get dead. We got him dead real quick. There was a tweet that went out this morning. Did you see this thing? The hashtag is who's controlling this thing at this point? I don't even know. But the tweet that went out, obviously attacks us. And then there's a hashtag, Epstein files at the end. There it is right there from the Khomeini junior account talking about the U.S. decline. Did it all make sense now? Folks, they want the United States to lose this war, that whole class, that symbiote, the doomer Lib symbiote, they want the United States to lose this war. I'm telling you, they say it openly. Some of them play cute with the words in the euphemisms game, but they want us to lose this war. I got Graham Allen coming up in a little bit as a guest, the Graham Allen show on Rumble. I know you love him. You always raise my show. We appreciate that. I'm going to talk to him about this too. This is not any more a question of military superiority. We have defeated and destroyed the Iranian mullahs. They don't exist. They don't exist. The battle damage assessments are totally asymmetric. The battle damage is beyond significant on the Iranian side. What I'm getting at here is we already know that the problem going forward is we are fighting a messaging machine that wants the death to a mullah, death to America, a mullah class, a thugocracy wants them to win. This is a narrative war now. The tactical component we've already shown our superiority. He was Pete Heng Seth yesterday in the Oval Office during the, excuse me, in the cabinet room. They had a cabinet meeting yesterday next to Donald Trump talking about exactly this problem. Folks, this is a very real problem. It's a very real problem for the administration too, because they're putting a squeeze on them based on us story, not the story. I have no problem with you disagreeing with the war at all that you're right to do it. You're right to report on it in the press, but at least be candid about where we stand so Americans can make an informed output from correct input. Check this out. The media though, if President Trump had not acted, you'd be screaming, why not? And now that he has taken decisive action, you're asking, well, why did you? It's the same old tired playbook, TDS in your DNA. But the hard working, God-fearing, patriotic Americans out there know better. And you alluded to this, President Obama, Mr. President. Here's the fact that you don't hear on your networks, but we know. Many of the Iranian military factories and bases that we're systematically destroying were paid for by the pallets of American cash that Barack Obama flew into Tehran. Notice you're not seeing a lot of that story about the Obama cash that went into the Iranian bank accounts. Why aren't you hearing anything about that? Because this is not an effort to tell you the story of what's going on in Iran. It's an effort to tell you a story. So we lose. We lose the narrative war, not the tactical war. Why do you need them to lose the narrative war, them being the Trump administration? Because you've got a midterm election coming up. You can't give Trump a victory even over death to America. People know the death to America. People have to win. Their message keeps flip-flopping. The left started to hidden knowledge grift. Most of you remember it as the Russia collusion hoax. I've got this hidden knowledge that Donald Trump is colluding with the Russians. Well, what is it? It's a dossier, but I can't show you. It's classified. Well, then we see it and there was nothing really in there. And then all of a sudden they're like, no, no, no, there's other like collusion. It was like a hack or something. It's data point. Well, it's a data point. But they never actually produced the data point. Matter of fact, when you ask them about the infamous hack, the people like, well, we can't really prove there was an exfiltration. What can you prove anything? That was the original hidden knowledge scam. They're doing the same thing with the Iranians now. They're playing hide the knowledge nugget where they pretend to know one thing when they're in office. And then when they get out of office, they take the exact opposite position. I just showed you what we can't from the young turds before. Hat tip maze more. Here's a compilation. We did some jump cuts in it just to shorten it up a little bit. Thank you, maze for the material. Here is a compilation of Democrats, Jen Psaki and others telling you what a threat the Iranian nuclear program was now telling you was enough of a threat to actually do anything about it. Check this out. Iran's nuclear program is galloping forward. It is enriching at higher levels. If they continue to enrich at the levels and the ways they're doing, it will get down eventually to a few weeks. So that is a concrete problem. We have an interest in putting that nuclear problem back in the box. Iran has rapidly accelerated its nuclear program. Their breakout period is down from about a year, which is what we knew it was during the deal to just a few weeks or less. Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, has directly or by hiring criminals mounted assassination attempts against dissidents and high ranking current and former U.S. officials, including right here on American soil. The president will not tolerate attacks on American troops. Our teammates were killed by radical militias backed by Iran. Yes, it is true. Iran is closer to nuclear weapon than ever before. If they chose to get a nuclear weapon, could probably get one within weeks. Listen, when I opened up the show today, I told you with regards to the DHS funding for TSA that magically appeared last night is the Democrats had there. Look at this. We got to, we have this come to Jesus moment road to Damascus. What a conversion. That I'm not telling you Republicans don't do this to I'm telling you it's about on a scale. This is all the Democrats do is bullshit you and tell you a story. They told you a different story when they had a political interest and they thought they could look tough going against the death to Iranian mullahs when Donald death to America mullahs. I'm sorry. Excuse me. When Donald Trump gets into office and kills them and obliterates the entire upper level hierarchy of the IRGC and elsewhere, the Democrats take the opposite position. You see the chaos? You see how they never ever want you to believe in anything because then these charismatic figures can come out and pull you out of the messaging chaos and the fog and go, look, I've got the knowledge. Just stay tuned. I'll tell you tomorrow. And I think one more thing the MAGA crowd has gone grown really tired of is international allies who are just fair weather friends. Listen, my last job and the job before that, I had pretty good relationships with foreign partners, but I'm going to tell you something you may not have heard. I'm going to tell you for a fact. When it comes to law enforcement, counterterror, counter espionage, I can't speak so much for the military, but a semi informed opinion on that as well. About 80% of the lifting in the work is done by the United States. About 20% is reciprocal when you look at it in total. The fact that our allies, now that we've taken on the world's largest sponsor of terrorism, that has been holding basically the petrochemical business hostage due the straight for decades now, now that we've done the hard work, we're asking our allies to come in and give us a little help here because this helps them too in this fractured oil market. And all of a sudden, a lot of them are just shitting the bed on us. Here's Rubio has been doing an amazing job. One of his 20 jobs is Secretary of State besides the playing going, Hey, Europe, you guys going to chip in here or what? Like are you leaving the dirty work for us again this time too? Check this out. I think you just made an observation and the observation is that the United States is constantly being asked to help in a war and we have more than any other country in the world in the world on a war that's happening in another continent in Ukraine. But but when the US had a need, he didn't get proper positive responses. So right now he's just making the observation that I think it was a couple of the leaders in Europe who said that this was not Europe's war. Well, Ukraine is not America's war. And yet we've contributed more to that fight than any other country in the world. So it'll be something to examine. The president have to take into account down the road. Why, you know, listen, why do we always have to come to the rescue? You know, no one's going to sit here and bullshit me like I ran for office publicly against a lot of some of the Bush era military actions. I just I wasn't sure we had a good exit plan. I'm not telling you like I was trying to be general patent about it or anything like that. I understand the limits of my own knowledge. But that's not this. That's not this. The Trump team has laid out a clear set of directives that either have been met or very close to being met. And then he's already stated as you or it's I should say administration officials are now talking about this final blow. They clearly have some exit strategy for this. Can we just give it a couple of weeks and see how it works out before we judge the ending of the book we haven't read yet? Here's Steve Whitcoff, one of Trump's lead negotiators on this issue. By the way, for those people again claiming the Iranians were not an imminent threat, there was some fatwa against a nuclear program. He told Whitcoff, these Iranian negotiators told Whitcoff to go pound sand that they were going to basically build their nuclear weapons. Is this guy a gatekeeper too? You think he's lying to President Trump? Like everybody's lying to President Trump, but you have the hidden knowledge. You'll never tell us. Here, check this out. The Iranians have the inalienable right to enrich. Then we heard they possessed enough 60 percent enriched material, 460 kilograms to make 11 atomic bombs. Finally, we heard the following statement. They would not give up diplomatically what we could not win militarily. In other words, they were again miscalculating the success of midnight hammer, which was a total success. These are incontrovertible signs among many other signs, sir. That their regime had not given them negotiating to authority to make a deal required by you. Is he lying to? He's telling you what they told him. He has no reason to smoke you up about it at this point. Is this another gatekeeper? Folks, the chaos isn't working. We won the last election. Just give them a couple of more weeks. Let's figure out where this is going to go. Let's see the exit plan and strategy they're working on and we can move on from there. Because we're dealing with this other side of the fence that is not kidding around. That is where I agree with a lot of these people that at the end of this four years, hopefully it turns into eight and 12, we can get, you know, JD or Rubio or someone in there. Hopefully we'll be able to write this ship and make it generational, but it's not going to happen overnight. But we are dealing with another side here that they're not kidding around. They, when they tell you who they are, just listen to them. And the reason they're so afraid, by the way, of Donald Trump is because Donald Trump lives in the real world and they live in the world of ideas and they haven't found a way to crack that since basically Bill Clinton playing what at the saxophone on the Arsenio Hall show. They haven't had that. Their candidates look out of touch. Donald Trump has this magic gift of saying things that are common sense to everyone listening that other politicians haven't thought to say before because they didn't have the balls. And he has this way of getting the left to overreact to every single thing he does. Cue up that Trump Somali fraud thing. So we've got a serious problem with broken third world countries and many, but not all, you have migrants that come here legally and illegally who come here and there's a huge fraud problem. Everybody knows it's happening. And Donald Trump's take on this is how a lot of Americans feel. Maybe they don't agree with every single word and the language and the expression, but they're like, if you're going to come here, you should contribute. And of course, the left over reacts to this. And this is the tactical advantage he has of dealing in the real world, knowing how real world people speak. Check this out. It's very Somalia oriented. Think of it, these people come from a crooked country, disgusting country, one of the worst countries in the world, acknowledged to be one of the worst countries in the world. Some people say it's the worst. They have no money. They have nothing. They come to our country, low IQs, and they rob us blind. Stupid people. And they rob us blind because we have crooked politicians and we have dirty cops. The attorney general is a dirty cop. It's my opinion. It's only my opinion. And something should be done about him. Folks, they are going to have, who's favorite video is that? I missed the stamp. Oh, that was Giz. There were people out there watching this. The Democrats and the intelligentsia and the media class, oh my God, he's a racist. One, you know that's bullshit. Okay, that's just nonsense. There's no history of that at all. You're just making that up. So throw that in the garbage because it's just dumb liberal bullshit. However, I think what you don't understand, you think Donald Trump doesn't understand what you don't understand is there are millions of people out there who are active voters, who are not in their heads in approval, say, you know what, you're damn right. Nothing to do with the race of the people or their country of origin. Just don't come here from a place and steal from us and expect us to ignore the fact that a lot of people came from the same place. That's how networks sometimes work. Yes, there's a bit of a proximity bias in some of that stuff. This is why yesterday we played that video, sorry to refer to yesterday's show if you missed it. However, noted leftist John Stewart, the late night host. John Stewart had a segment with Bernie Sanders and we played it on yesterday's show. And John Stewart, who's again, a pretty devoted leftist, was openly questioning the middleman government and how basically they can't solve any problems. And I thought that was strange, but now it's starting to make sense, folks. The left, as I said to you yesterday, and I'll repeat again, wants to move in a UBI direction, universal basic income, where basically the government's just a middleman. They don't manage programs anymore. The left just wants you to basically get a salary from other taxpayers to do nothing. There are excuses AI AI is going to put everybody out of work. So everyone's going to have to get I don't know $50,000 a year. If you're below a certain income level. They got this is why they're making this argument now. Now what I want to tie this together for you. The Somali fraud case where there have been numerous arrests federal, been some state on the locals may be getting involved now. The exposing of that by that young man, Nick Shirley and others like Cam Higbee, you saw out in Los Angeles was a museum skid row where they were registering people for money. This kind of citizen journalism, you're going to get 90% will be hit. Sometimes they're going to flake out 10% maybe misses, but the citizen journalism is going to be exposing generational fraud on a basically on a daily basis moving forward and the left knows it. They know it's they know there's only so many fraudulent, you know, autism therapy centers and child care centers they can set up before people knock on the door and ask for their kid to be treated with a hidden camera. They know that. So you're seeing this is very important to segment. Stop what you're doing. You're going to see this messaging going forward now where big government left this may start messaging about government and efficiency, not because they don't want to steal your money. They just want to steal it and give it directly to other people instead because they know the government running it is going to resolve in endless citizen journalists knocking on doors going, Hey, how many kids you got in this childcare? That Nick Shirley moment really, my humble opinion is going to change journalism going forward. A lot of citizen journalists have been doing this forever. There's a ton of people. We've had them on our show. That one, I think really shook people. I mean, deep in the soul because it was so fairly obvious that the Minnesota made there was almost no effort whatsoever to stop it. Now does the John Stewart thing make sense now? In case you doubt me, the importance of this Nick Shirley moment, I'm going to throw in a President Trump clip right here. When it makes it into the White House and a cabinet briefing, like it's kind of a big deal. Here's President Trump on Nick Shirley and more. Check this out. Something that the nursing home business and the daycare centers in particular, they went out and expected them in Minnesota and they didn't exist. They're knocking into happens to be a young man, Nick, nice young man. He's done a very good job. They're knocking on doors. It's like homes and they're getting hundreds of thousands of that. They didn't exist. And in California, it's worse. It's even worse. And I spoke with Russell boat. I said, Russell, don't send them any money. He said, but we have a court order that we have. So can you believe it? A judge, the judges are really hurting this country. Our judges, just as Roberts doesn't like what I say, but the judges are really hurting this country. And frankly, the justices, the Supreme Court has really hurt our country too. I want to leave the end part in two because it ties in the beginning of the show about how we're different, the Republic, because we've instituted processes. Processes require a lot of nominations of judges, United States attorneys. This all takes time. However, we've chosen this route to avoid chaos. But when you see people like Nick Shirley, who gets mentioned in a cabinet briefing, you know how big of a deal that is? Whether you like or dislike is journalism. I told you there's going to be some misses. There's going to be some hits, even billion dollar media companies once in a while get a story wrong. This is going to dismantle the myth that collective collectivism and big government benevolence are effective ideas in the world bucket of reality. They exist in the world of ideas. In reality, they completely fall apart. The government will never manage your money as well as you do ever. You're going to see this moving forward. Folks, I live in this great state of Florida. I love it down here. I'll talk about this with Graham Allen a little bit. Liberals, please don't come down here. Really, we've had enough conservatives. Welcome. Join us. Join the treehouse. But I'm not telling you Florida is above this too. We got a great governor. I'm the Santa's not a knock. They're doing a great job. We've got a great AG. Got great candidates for governor. Byron Donalds. I love Byron. Florida is a great state. The Santa's done an amazing job. However, this fraud, healthcare fraud, taxpayer fraud schemes on the Medicare front, Medicaid front, DMEs, that's durable medical equipment is rampant in Florida. Here's Dr. Ros down here in Florida, proving the point that folks, even in limited government states, whenever you introduce government into anything, you are always going to get error fraud, scams, people will care for their own money, always as a better custodian than the government will check this out. Let me be blunt. What we're seeing in parts of South Florida isn't just suspicious. It's outrageous. The number of questionable durable medical equipment suppliers, folks at Cingia Keynes or wheelchairs, it's exploded, especially here in Palm Beach and adjacent Miami Dade County. In some neighborhoods, now listen carefully, there are twice as many, twice as many suppliers as McDonald's. That's not a coincidence. That's a red flag. As it turns out, transnational criminal organizations are involved. So we act it. CMS put a nationwide freeze. It's called the moratorium on enrolling new DME suppliers in Medicare. That's the insurer for older Americans. We're cutting off the pipeline and Florida is not hesitating either. This week, the state stepped up with a plan to go on the offense, requesting its own moratorium for Medicaid. That's the program that safeguards are most vulnerable. They want to slow down durable medical equipment suppliers too. That's how you respond when this system is being gained. Folks, this is the third party payer problem. The third party payer is simple. You have you, you are a taxpayer, a citizen, right? Then you have a business you want to pay. Let's say you need a hip surgery. You're going to pay an orthopedic. If you pay the orthopedic directly, you care about the cost of the procedure because you're paying. You also care about the quality of said procedure because it's your freaking hip. The Milton Friedman issue with the four ways to spend money. The minute you introduce a third party who pays, i.e. third party payer, sorry, but there are liberals here are very slow. The government, and I don't pay the orthopedic surgeon. I pay taxes and the government pays. The government doesn't care about the quality of the procedure because it's not the government's hip. It's yours. And the government doesn't really care about the cost either as long as you vote for them because it's not their money either. They took it from you. Do you have that? For those who are new to the Dan Bongino show since our relaunch, you know, we were gone for a year, obviously. This is probably the greatest explanation. I did not intend to throw this in the show, but Justin was like, Hey, man, now's the time. This is Milton Friedman in about a minute and a half explaining to you why the government anywhere getting involved in anything from Florida to San Francisco will always screw it up. Check this out. Book market. Well, you know, you can spend your own money on yourself. And when you spend your own money on yourself, you're very careful of what you spend it on. And you make sure that you get the most for your dog. You can spend your own money on somebody else. You give gifts to other people. You take people out to dinner. When you spend your own money on somebody else, you're very careful that you don't spend too much. You try to keep down the amount you spend, but you don't worry very much about what the other fellow is getting from it. You don't pay anything like as much attention to the gifts you buy for other people as to the things you buy for yourself. Or you can spend somebody else's money as when you're spending the government's money. I say the government's money, the taxpayers' money, which the government is controlled. Now you're spending somebody else's money. Let's say you're spending your boss's money. You're out to lunch on a expense account, but you're spending it on yourself. You're very careful that you get good, good, good things for your money. You try to have a good lunch and pick the right things, but you're not very much worried about whether you get the cheapest. Spend all you want. Spend all you want. You'll be careless. Now, what happens when you spend somebody else's money on somebody else? You're a, you're a distributor of welfare funds. Well, you're interested in making your own life as good as you can. And most people have humane instincts and want to do the best they can, but you're not going to be anything like as careful in spending somebody else's money on somebody else. That is the best two minutes of your life. That is an entire PhD economics course in two minutes. And it's not my words. It's the great Milton Friedman. That's always going to be the problem with government. And you're going to see going forward with these citizen journalists. You are going to see exposure, devastating exposure on a mass scale of every single grift out there. We just opened the show talking about the hidden knowledge grift. This is just straight up financial grift off the taxpayers. Folks, I promise you, I promise you there are not enough federal investigators between Secret Service DEA, IRS, FBI. There are not enough to crack down the likely hundreds of billions, if not trillions over decades in fraud. There's just not enough. We have got to intercept it at the head. There's no other way. What I'm telling you to kind of put a cherry on top of this is we have a really unique moment here. The Democrats are going to get exposed over the next five to 10 years for their and we need Republicans for their NGO funding, their child care center funding, everything. The fraud is going to be so massive, it's going to be a difficult, difficult time for the Democrats going forward on the messaging front because there's a financial motive too for citizen journalists to go out there. That's their job. That's what they do, to find this fraud. That's what they do if they expose fraud. It's not going to stop. We have a unique opportunity coming up to pile on that message and make sure that it resonates with them. Just don't let them transition to a UBI. They want to make the case government sucks and it's all on video. Okay, sure. We'll magnify it too. We can play this game too. All right, I got Graham Allen coming up. You're going to love Graham. It's fantastic. Graham Allen show on rumble. Check him out. He always reigns our show right after his show. I think he starts at 9am Eastern time, but we'll talk about a lot of things. I wanted to give you a little bit of Friday Good Feels as well before I wrap up my portion of the show by myself. So as always, our good friend, producer Jim likes everyone to enter into the weekend in a peaceful Zen like moment. So he selects the finest, most relaxing audio he can find out there from our friends on the left. So for those who are looking forward to your Friday Democrat Zen moment, courtesy of producer Jim, here it is. Your Democrat Zen moment of the day. A peaceful moment to center your mind. Look you fat fuck Trump. If you listen to this, you listen good. You're right. I got Trump derangement syndrome. I hate the motherfucker. And you know what? I don't want to get rid of it. I don't want to get better. I want to get worse. I want to hate him more. I prayed a God in heaven God brain, the righteous brain of Trump derangement syndrome. This has been Democrat Zen. That's he doesn't tell me what they are. I'm as surprised as you are about this stuff. He doesn't tell me what they are. I'm sure your blood pressure has dropped a few points now. Again, it's like beta blockers there. But no, listen, I hate the, I hate when people say on a serious note because it makes it seem like we were on serious, even when we're serious being on serious, but on a serious note, you know, you like that the motley's, you have motley's in the chat there. Carville, man. I think he like later one on him and kind of regretted that a little bit. I'm not really sure who knows. You call him raging for a raging occasion for a reason. But I was sitting there this morning and going through some stuff. I had, you know, I get up pretty early, so it's still dark out and I got this light, really bright light can get you going and more I'm scrolling through and I really like motivational people who can speak the be the ability to be a, you know, a vehicle through your words for a greater cause is really amazing. So what's the church? This said guys from, it's a pastor Phil. Two eight, one nine church. I don't know them at all. I can't vouch or not vouch for them. All I know is this popped up. I listened to a lot of Christian contemporary music on Instagram. Jasmine got me into it. So I get a lot of preachers and things like that. But I saw this this morning and this is absolutely true. Here's kind of a nugget of wisdom here. Check this out. Sometimes God will engineer transitions in your life, albeit painful. Sometimes to push you down roads you otherwise would not chosen for yourself. And because he's the author and finisher of your story, sometimes he know you will not move. And so you need a push. And so sometimes he might close the door to give you that push. Sometimes you might go through rejection to get that push. Sometimes sometimes the trouble around your life to get that push. Sometimes he'll take something out of your life to give you that push. Sometimes the Lord is watching you knowing that you need to take this next step of faith. Man, I saw this morning on my cave man. You just nailed it. You know, sometimes just harking back to beginning of the show, we go through these things and we're like, gosh, I wish we didn't have to fight this fight. Now I wish to, you know, I wish to but an easy life is not going to be a fulfilling one. I'm not I'm not your preacher. I couldn't do it nearly as well as that gentleman. And I certainly don't pretend to be some kind of moral staple. You all should be guiding yourself off. I'm just a guy like everyone else. But I can tell you everything I've learned in my life, I've learned from falling on my face and getting the hell up. This idea that God puts obstacles there for a reason falls right in with you know, the burnt toast theory. You know, the toast gets burned, fire alarm goes off. You're late for your flight. You miss your flight. You're like, I can't believe this. I'm going to miss this job opportunity I was flying through then the plane crashes. You know, we don't have the capability. It's like trying to teach a dog physics. I say all the time, we don't, we can't possibly understand like a dog can't understand chemistry or physics. We can't understand why God does what he does and why these obstacles appear. But just think of burnt toast. There may be a reason, a reason you just don't understand, but you'll see when you get to the end of the book. I have some great stuff right there. All right, quick break and then we'll get to my good friend, Graham Allen. He's a great guy. Support him and his show. Hey, when I moved to DC, one of the first things I asked to have with me was my red light therapy blanket from bone charts. That is a fact.

My good friend, Graham Allen. You can check him out every day on rumble. He's got the Graham Allen show. So check that out. Graham, welcome back to the show. Let's get right to it. So, you know, our best friends and I say that dripping with sarcasm. The Democrats got absolutely smoked and torched and wrecked again last night on the DHS funding. Said they were holding out because they wanted open borders basically got absolutely no reforms. President Trump comes in saves the day, says we're paying them. This is an emergency. The Democrats didn't fall because they gave a shit about you standing in line. They followed it because they knew they were going to suffer a political loss. And that's all that matters. Yeah, I mean, here's the deal. I tell people this all the time. Everybody's like, Oh, Graham, you get so emotional. Why don't you just deliver the facts as it is? Okay, well, here's the facts. Democrats hate you. They don't care about you. They don't care about your family. They don't care about your lives. You are pawns in the chess 4D devil match that they're playing in DC every single day. The president showed the cards of the Democrats by saying, you know what, screw this, I'm over it. I'm signing this executive order. We're going to pay these guys no more of this nonsense. And then magically, magically, all of the sudden, somehow we're able to figure out how to get it passed. A bill to fund DHS ironically around the same time that now Secretary Mullen is in there as well. This is this is Trump winning over and over and over again. And pay attention, folks, pay attention because Donald Trump's not going to be here for forever. One day, you will realize what we had. And right now, there's a lot of people taking it granted. There's a lot of people taking advantage. There's a lot of people taking shots at the president, but they don't give enough credit for the the 8D chess match king that he is. Donald Trump knew this is either going to work in the reward of me again, solving the problem, or is going to force the Democrats to do what they were supposed to do for the American people in the first place. I think he killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he save the day and force the Democrats to actually fund DHS, he proved that it had nothing to do about any righteousness or anything for the betterment of the people. It proved it was nothing more than to use the American people to try and hurt Donald Trump. You know, Graham, I was going to ask you this question. It was like my third or fourth question, but I think it fits in perfectly. Now you kind of teed it up for me. I painted this picture yesterday in a contrast between the modern Democrat movement and what's what we call now the MAGA movement, this faction of the Republican Party now. The MAGA movement is a relatively new phenomenon, the working class dirt under the fingernails Republican. Those were traditionally not all of course, but traditionally Democrat votes. When you think of the union vote and things like that, Donald Trump came in ironically a New York billionaire, very successful guy, and basically steals that vote away from the Democrat. But it's because Donald Trump is a builder in New York. I brought this up yesterday. Although yes, he has quite a few more dollars than you and I combined like a lot more. However, just a little bit. Donald Trump has had a deal with, you know, unions, New York City corrupt bureaucrats, various mayors in New York, the mob in New York. I mean, building in New York is a nightmare. He if he did not understand that real world of union worksmanship and craftsmanship and how these people worked in their motivations, he would have been lost. And that's the skill I think he took to the White House and why he keeps proving as you just said, the experts wrong. Yeah, well, you know, the Donald Trump somehow being the billionaire that he is is a man's man. Like he understands the everyday normal American and somewhere along the way, if you go back to the founding documents that we have of what is required for people to run for office, what is required for people to be a president, vice president, congressman or woman, a senator, governor, all of this, it's actually not that many things. We, the American people and or the bureaucrats and the lifelong swamp creatures in DC have created this mythical illusion of what you have to be, what you have to look like, the, the degrees you have to have, the connections you have to have. Oh, you, you had to serve in the state house or the state Senate and then get corrupted by the state GOPs before you can come up here because we want to make sure you're part of the team before we allow you to take this next step. When in reality, we need people like electricians, we need people like plumbers, we need people like that work 12 hours swing shifts that actually know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck to where they don't play these political nightmare games at the expense of the American people that you just saw the Democrats did with DHS and TSA. We have to shatter this illusion that we have created amongst ourselves, that we, the everyday American people have allowed the powers that be in DC to put out before us and we have to shatter that glass ceiling. No one understands that more than ironically the bill multi billionaire from New York, which is president Trump. You know, us as a movement, you and I have been fighting this, this relentless battle against the hidden knowledge class. You know, we have to be a movement bedrocked and process and objective truth. That's what the Republic, that's what made us different. This is not the star chamber. This is not the Salem witch trials. Big fantastic claims require big, fantastic evidence or else you have tower of Babel chaos and nothing means anything anymore. I'm really worried about that. So am I Dan. I mean, you have had conversations offline about this that they're what you're seeing is you're seeing us the podcast class. I call it now the fake podcasting news network that we have going on. You're seeing that a lot of them were actually leftist in MAGA clothing and real American clothing for a long time. But now you're seeing the same tactics that the left has used for decades. You're seeing that now on the other side. People just want to ask questions. And this is the thing that I keep going back to. I've got no problems with people asking questions, ask as many questions as you want. But if you are only asking questions for the purpose of causing more questions without asking questions for the purpose of finding answers to those questions, because answers equal solutions that equal missions that you can go out and achieve of objective, then all you're doing is causing division chaos, potentially violence. And this seems to be the most clickable thing, which the most clickable thing becomes the most viewable thing. And the most viewable thing becomes the most financially beneficial thing. So now we have people that are no longer interested in fighting for truth and facts. We have people that are interested in fighting for eyeballs. What used to be the case, Dan, you know this, you've been around, you are, you are the leader of this. If you tell the truth and you have the steady hand when the fog of war of the political war or information war, when the fog of war is thick, if you have the steady hand and you stand for truth, eventually the people will come. Now you're seeing people say, you know what brings the most people right now confusion, what ifs, maybe ors, and that seems to be what we're fighting against. And there's a lot of people, I've seen it, it's seen pack. I've seen all these other people talk. There are people on our side that disagree with me and you, Dan, they disagree that we should completely starve the grift of these people and just completely ignore it. I don't believe that. I think that they are the fake news now. And just like the past 10 years, we've been fighting against the fake news and fighting for knocking on doors of the 10, 10, 10. That's the same thing we have to do now. We have to fight a multifaceted war on the information space because the American people are paying attention to this stuff. And if the American people are paying attention to it, that means they're going to vote a certain way and it's going to be influenced by these people and we have to fight it. Yeah, we do. And I don't really care for that opinion there that, oh, we should just let this insane, self-destructive cancer in our party run free and destroy the whole host in the hopes that maybe we preserve one midterm election, but destroy the party permanently in the mid and long-term horizon is just insanity. And nobody tells me what to talk about ever on my show. So I don't give a damn what anyone says there really at all. I think we've proven that over 10 years. And you're right though, you will always find a steady audience army out there. It's going to be behind you no matter what, as long as they don't feel like you're bullshitting them. There's a sugar high in that no doubt. And I played some of it in the beginning of the show, the hidden knowledge grift tomorrow show tune in. Eventually, you know, it's like Apollo's way says to Rocky, there is no tomorrow. Eventually you got to produce some, some data. And I think you and I, you haven't been in the military, me haven't been in law enforcement. We didn't live in that world of secret hidden knowledge because you had to go to a courtroom and swear under the penalty of perjury that what you were stating was your best attempt at the truth. You didn't get to go a judge, I'll tell you tomorrow. There is no tomorrow. There is show back up tomorrow, camera crews. I'll tell you what really happened. Yeah, no, I know. Imagine you like being sent out with a unit on some, you know, with if you were in the Marines, like with some five paragraph order, you had to go out there and accomplish this mission. And you come back on paragraph three and be like, yeah, we'll get to the rest tomorrow. Like it just doesn't work that way. You know, they have that luxury we don't. So I saw an article this morning on on an aggregator site about migrating Democrats. In other words, a bunch of disgruntled Democrats Graham leaving liberal states where the liberal state governance model always fails and coming down to states like Florida, where you are in South Carolina, I am in Florida. I don't know how to say this. I'm a believer in freedom. Do your thing. I can't stop you nor would I want to put an obstacle in front of you. I'm saying like, don't come down to your liberals. We don't want you in Florida. You don't want them in South Carolina. You already screwed up your own state. Well, I don't know. I mean, and again, maybe this will get a bit controversial here. I do. I'm the same way. It's just like if you move to another state in most states, you have to have lived in that state for a certain amount of time before you can run for office. Maybe maybe we should put like the same stipulations on if you should be able to vote immediately for that state. Now, 10 year prohibition. Yeah, yeah. No, I don't want to take away anybody's right to vote. You can do an absentee ballot for the state media matters. He's kidding. You freaking canoes. However, it is still funny. It is still funny though. The idea. I'll put there a lot of people at home going and doing this laugh and all of a sudden they're like, man, it's not a bad like maybe you have to digest the system for 10 years, learn to respect how successful conservative governance is in South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. And then we'll give you another shot. Figure out why this is working. And then you can vote to like keep it that way. Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, don't bring your New York voting standards because the only reason you're leaving is because you've either a continued to vote for it or B you were complicit in it or C you were outnumbered. And those are the ones that we actually want to come here. The ones that were been outnumbered and they're actually red and they're conservative and they love the Lord all that. Sure. I welcome them with open arms. But unfortunately, those are the ones they don't have the money to just pick up and move. So the people that can just pick up and move are the ones that we don't want here in the first place. You know, it's interesting. I tell people this a lot. They say, you know, Dan, you talk about Florida and such glowing terms and people say stop doing it. I'm not kidding. It happens all the time. It happened in a sandwich joint. I was in about a year ago and ladies like, Hey, I love your show, but please stop telling people to move here. I said, I've said the opposite. I've told conservatives to move here. But in my particular area, which was 5050, I mean, almost exactly 5050, it's gotten more Republican over time. And when you go into these communities, it's all retired New York cops and firemen who are very conservative. So, you know, it does work in the other direction too. And the truth is, is migration to Florida has increased. It's gotten more Republican. So I don't want people to panic too much. But I did read that article that they're threatening to come down and we're like, please no liberals. Nobody wants you around. Liberals don't even want to be around other freaking liberals. They're leaving New York. You have the opportunity to mingle with your liberal bowtie wearing buddies, smoking your cigars and eating your high end caviar. And you don't want it. You want to come down here with us to work in class and hang out with the good smart people. Have a good time on a Friday night. Here's the catch. We don't want you either. Graham, last question for you. Obviously, you know, having done a couple of stints with the military in the back on this side when you came back from your department of war experience there. By any objective measure, this has been an unbelievably successful early stage conflict. By any measure, we're only less than two months in, whether it's the destruction of the Iranian Navy, the destruction of ballistic missile capabilities, drone factories. However, there's a political war going on. There's one side I addressed earlier in the show that definitely wants us to lose. I think this is where, you know, Secretary Hegzeff and Donald Trump staying out ahead of it and doing, you know, bi-weekly pressers and things like that will really help in breaking through and getting the message out there. Yeah, I mean, one, again, I've said it a million times, not only President Trump is the greatest president of our generation, but I think Pete Hegzeff was an amazing choice for Secretary of Defense. I said this last time he was a generational choice for Secretary of War. It is amazing to me how many people, especially veterans, have all of a sudden lost the understanding of what an actual war is versus conflict via strategic strikes and all of this. If Joe Kent would have waited a week, peace talks are having right now, like, and so I don't understand what all happened there. All the stuff that's coming out about that your military record, I will never touch it, but what you do now doesn't mean that you can't be an idiot politically and or reading the tea leaves how it is now, but I digress. I don't want to go into all that again on this show. This has been a success in every measure, just like every other military action that President has done, by the way, you've got these. Now, again, do I understand the Lindsey Graham thing? No. No one dislikes Lindsey Graham here in the state of South Carolina more than I do. In fact, when I ran for Congress, they said, how do you feel about removing your name and just like putting Allen on there because like Graham is such a bad thing in the state of South Carolina? So I don't get that either. But what I do know is this, the president has no intentions on anything except what is best for the American people. And sometimes to be truly America first, you can't be America first without American dominance. The rest of the world has to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the United States of America will not be messed with. When the president of the United States speaks, everybody else needs to listen. And it should Americans with pride that we have a president and a secretary of war that is putting the best interests of America for the long term for your children, for your children's children ahead of just putting a bandage on it and paying Iran money and saying, please don't cause us any problems. So we don't get people upset with us in the polls. This is what real leadership looks like. And we have to push out the doomers and the woke, bright podcasters that we have. Alex Jones and all these other people, like, I mean, we've been, this is World War seven at this point where we're at. I mean, the apocalypse just happened four times. And I'm sick of it. Shut up, let the president do his job because we elected him to make these decisions at such a time as this, not us, the podcasters. We all fought for this man to make this, make these other worldly decisions with the whole world's weight on his shoulders at this moment. And nobody's better than President Trump. You're right. These guys are like no stradamus. They've, they've, they've accurately predicted 37 out of the last two world wars. It's incredible. Yes. They've done it. They've done it. That's a quite a track record. Folks, make sure you check out Graham's show. He's always nice enough to rate us. Graham Allen show on rumble. You can always go to rumble.com.
