Bannon's War Room - Episode 4626： Live From SAS Day 1; Will Bongino Step Down

00:00:00.000 All right, this breaking news, sources tell CNN that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino

00:00:04.960 has told people that he's considering resigning amid a major clash between the FBI and DOJ

00:00:11.580 over the continued fallout from the release, or lack thereof, of the Jeffrey Epstein memo.

00:00:18.540 Well, Alex, we know that the termination notices were supposed to go out starting around 10 a.m.

00:00:23.340 and that likely they would roll out for a couple of hours due to how slow the internal State

00:00:27.980 Department email system is. So this is a situation where many State Department employees yesterday

00:00:33.160 were put on alert. We're told that today they could be getting that kind of information. So to

00:00:38.460 be prepared for that and to come to work with everything, they might need to return before

00:00:42.780 leaving the State Department for the last time today. And we're talking about civil servants in

00:00:48.300 addition to Foreign Service officers, as many as 3,000 cuts expected today. And it's not just all

00:00:55.380 layoffs necessarily. Some people were offered the opportunity to take early retirement,

00:01:00.560 for instance. But this is all a part of the Trump administration's effort to cut some of these

00:01:05.720 agencies with the Department of Government Efficiency trying to essentially make a mandate for these

00:01:11.820 different agencies to completely reorganize or to have what's known as a RIF, a reduction in force.

00:01:18.060 And this is something that the Supreme Court paved the way for to take place. And so the State

00:01:23.080 Department is where we're seeing a very concentrated example of that today. But it's something that we

00:01:28.200 could see at a bunch of different agencies. We know, for instance, that at the Education Department

00:01:32.940 and elsewhere, similar blueprints have been drawn up for cutting this many employees. And as a result,

00:01:39.940 there is going to be a massive loss, according to those who are familiar with the State Department,

00:01:44.960 of some experience. But again, this is something that the president himself has wanted to see happen.

00:01:49.540 It was obviously something that Elon Musk was in charge of before he left his government role.

00:01:54.500 And it's something that there are further court cases in the works on that there could be

00:01:59.260 potentially a halt or a freeze to some of this action at other agencies. Or the Supreme Court could

00:02:04.840 allow for it to, again, take place all over many of these different agencies. And the federal workforce

00:02:09.820 could, again, continue to be reduced. It's been reduced by thousands already since January.

00:02:14.860 And there's an expectation that it will be reduced by thousands more if the president gets what he

00:02:19.920 wants from this major change. Dan Bongino has told people he is considering resigning as the deputy

00:02:26.580 director of the FBI over the fallout that has continued ever since this memo was released last

00:02:33.000 Sunday. The anger inside the MAGA base has only continued to grow instead of going away,

00:02:38.280 as some officials inside hoped it would. And now our colleagues, along with Christian Holmes,

00:02:42.860 Tanner Rabinowitz and Evan Perez, were hearing that he's considering resigning after they had

00:02:48.300 this heated confrontation with the attorney general, Pam Bondi, over the handling of this

00:02:53.000 earlier this week. And basically, there was a meeting at the White House where the FBI director,

00:02:57.800 Cash Patel, was there, the White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles. They were questioned about whether

00:03:02.780 they were part of a story that there was basically some infighting over how this came out. And this

00:03:08.900 memo that said, we're not going to be releasing any more information related to Jeffrey Epstein.

00:03:14.460 And I should note that we are told Bongino denied leaking any story to this outlet that it was reported

00:03:20.220 on. But there has been a lot of fighting between Attorney General Pam Bondi specifically, and the

00:03:26.120 leadership over at the FBI over who's to blame in this situation. I think the context here is

00:03:32.580 obviously Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, they came from this MAGA world where they themselves had pushed a lot of

00:03:38.660 questions about the so-called client list that Epstein had beforehand. And now the MAGA base is just not

00:03:45.280 pleased or satisfied with what they've said in this memo that came out unsigned from the Justice Department

00:03:51.440 and the FBI on Sunday night. So what we are told is Dan Bongino did not show up to work today, that he is

00:03:57.320 essentially not there out of protests. But whether or not he actually follows through on this still

00:04:03.000 remains to be seen. We're still reporting that out. But it just speaks to the backlash that the White

00:04:08.100 House is very much feeling and understanding after this memo came out, despite President Trump the other

00:04:13.580 day and the cabinet asking, you know, who still cares about this. One thing we know is the MAGA base

00:04:19.260 certainly does.

00:04:22.940 This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on

00:04:31.480 these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly

00:04:38.560 full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop

00:04:42.480 that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share

00:04:46.820 the big line? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:04:55.020 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,

00:05:01.980 this country will be saved.

00:05:05.060 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:05:10.580 It's Friday, 11 July, Year of the Lord 2025.

00:05:13.760 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, we've got Dan Caldwell is going to join us.

00:05:18.820 Hopefully, Scott Besson, Secretary of Treasury, maybe. We're going to go to the main stage.

00:05:23.860 Ben Berquam, do you believe the reports are out since the morning show that Dan Bongino

00:05:29.100 had a huge confrontation over DOJ with Pam Bondi, and he has threatened to resign? In fact,

00:05:35.060 he took, I guess, Monday, Tuesday off. Any word that you have on that? You're buying that?

00:05:40.000 I don't have any update on that, but I know Dan, and he is a man of integrity, and it doesn't

00:05:45.080 surprise me at all. Honestly, I think when you look at what's happening, we all know there's more

00:05:50.700 there, and I think if you were to stay in there and allow what's taking place to continue, I think

00:05:57.900 it undermines his credibility. I'm interested to hear what Cash says. Cash is a good friend of mine.

00:06:03.220 I love Cash, but this whole thing stinks, and honestly, it doesn't surprise me.

00:06:08.640 How many guys here bought Government Gangsters or watched the film we did on Government Gangsters?

00:06:13.580 Yeah, we love Cash.

00:06:15.380 Yeah, I'd love Cash, but I'd love Government Gangster Cash.

00:06:18.740 Yeah.

00:06:19.200 I'm not so sure. I don't know if I'm loving this version.

00:06:21.640 Yeah.

00:06:21.980 And I'd love me some Cash, but hey, where are the arrests?

00:06:25.140 Where are the arrests?

00:06:25.700 Where are the perp walks?

00:06:26.680 I got a whole list in the back. In fact, the reason I wanted to make a movie out of Government Gangsters,

00:06:30.720 he had a whole punch list. He named names in that book, did he not?

00:06:34.220 That's right, and that's the biggest thing on all of us.

00:06:36.360 Where's Merrick Garland? Is Merrick Garland perp walked yet?

00:06:39.420 No.

00:06:39.740 Should Merrick Garland perp walk?

00:06:42.120 He should. There's a whole list. Everyone in that book needs to be perp walked, and that's

00:06:47.020 the biggest frustration in the MAGA base. We're talking about losing the MAGA base. Well,

00:06:51.540 if you don't do it, when we've seen you persecuted and prosecuted, President Trump prosecuted,

00:06:56.300 all of the J6ers prosecuted, and we get in there, and there's no prosecution, 0.96

00:07:00.960 there's a problem.

00:07:02.280 That's a problem. Jane Zirkle, your thoughts?

00:07:04.920 Well, as Pan Bondi's doppelganger, I think we could do a very interesting reenactment of 0.99

00:07:10.180 the situation, but I also found something...

00:07:12.220 Her doppelganger, Pan Bondi's 60, and you're 16. 0.74

00:07:17.740 Where's the line with the doppelganger?

00:07:18.960 Who's your doctor? I need to know. I mean...

00:07:21.580 But I did read something interesting regarding the fluoridation of water. The EPA actually filed

00:07:26.760 something to do with getting our drinking water back on track and getting a lot of the

00:07:31.780 crap that they've put in there out, and it was an employee actually under Pan Bondi who

00:07:37.220 was responsible for the appeal of this act. So another interesting revelation in her leadership... 0.96

00:07:44.000 Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Hang on.

00:07:46.960 Zirkle goes to... Can we talk about chemtrails for a moment or geoengineering? I'm just kidding.

00:07:53.100 They're real.

00:07:53.340 I love the chemtrails. It's all part of one family.

00:07:56.680 Let's go to Dan Caldwell. We got Dan Caldwell. Dan, you've been getting ripped on social media

00:08:01.800 today. Dan, you're the guy that's considered by the Israel first crowd that you're the problem in

00:08:09.360 the Defense Department. That's why you got perp walked out. You're now the problem with Taiwan,

00:08:15.540 that you've written all these things about Taiwan. We had the ambassador on yesterday.

00:08:20.020 The CCP is going to attack Taiwan because of Dan Caldwell. Are you a pacifist? I thought you're

00:08:26.700 a Marine, right? Aren't you a Marine? I mean, if I was a pacifist, I was a bad one. I enlisted in

00:08:32.180 the United States Marine Corps as an infantryman in the middle of the Iraq War, and I deployed to Iraq.

00:08:36.880 If I'm a pacifist, I'm a pretty lousy one. I do have to say something, though, about what you just

00:08:46.140 said about Taiwan. If the CCP ultimately moves on Taiwan, I think it's in large part because they

00:08:54.120 perceive that there is not the hard power in the Pacific and on Taiwan to deter a Chinese invasion 0.86

00:09:02.380 or to make it incredibly costly to the point where they don't think it can succeed. Why could that

00:09:09.260 happen? Well, I think one of the biggest reasons why it would happen is because we have not been

00:09:15.200 able to properly supply Taiwan to harden them up because we have chosen, our foreign policy elite 0.92

00:09:22.840 has chosen to prioritize arming Ukraine over Taiwan. There is a $21 billion arms backlog.

00:09:31.640 Steve, I told you this morning it was $19 billion. I went back and checked, it's actually $21 billion.

00:09:37.560 And it includes things like Stinger missiles, which we have sent thousands of to Ukraine,

00:09:43.480 while Taiwan has been waiting since 2019 for a 500 Stinger missiles. Patriot PAC-3…

00:09:48.360 Hang on, we're live here. I want to make sure people understand this because we're in

00:09:52.680 front of a live audience. You're saying that we've taken Patriot missiles, other things that we need to

00:10:01.720 defend in Asia, right, particularly Taiwan, South Korea, all of it, we've taken that and shipped it to

00:10:08.280 Ukraine and Israel, just Ukraine. I mean, because you are known as an anti-Semite, right? Because

00:10:15.640 aren't you opposed to the wars in the Middle East? I thought I had, you and Bridge Colby were actually

00:10:21.640 not supportive of Israel because you wanted to, I think your biggest rap that you wanted to take 0.98

00:10:26.280 weapons away from Israel, sir? I actually think we should supply Israel. I can make a better argument 0.82

00:10:33.720 for supplying Israel over Ukraine because I think that we should supply Israel along with our Gulf 0.96

00:10:40.680 partners, create a security architecture in the Middle East that can balance Iran and then keep 0.99

00:10:46.680 an external hegemon out and that allows us to retrench from the region. But you brought up Israel too. 0.80

00:10:52.200 Guess what? In 2023, we pulled 300,000 artillery shells out of our war stocks in Israel to support,

00:11:00.680 guess who? Ukraine. So when October 7th happened and the Israelis needed to pull weapons out of that

00:11:07.560 war stock, they weren't there because Biden sent them to Ukraine. So Biden had to turn around our

00:11:12.440 artillery shipment from Ukraine and send it back to Israel. So our support of Ukraine hasn't just

00:11:17.800 undermined our ability to support our partners in the Pacific. It's also undermined our ability to

00:11:23.080 support partners like Israel. So, you know, they can call me anti-Taiwan, anti-Israel all they want. 0.83

00:11:29.000 The people that are undermining these partners are the people who are delusional enough to believe

00:11:34.680 that we have unlimited resources, that we can do everything, everywhere, all at once, all the time.

00:11:42.360 And those are the people that are going to create the conditions for China to move on Taiwan. Those are

00:11:47.160 the people that create the conditions for partners like Israel not to defend themselves. It's not people

00:11:53.000 like me and Bridge Colby that point out the material reality.

00:11:56.200 So President Trump obviously supported that. He supported Bridge Colby. Bridge Colby is the major

00:12:02.600 policy guy with the Pentagon. Why are we in a situation where it looks like we're going to

00:12:08.440 sell weapons to Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and they're going to give our rare stock

00:12:15.480 of equipment to Ukraine. How do we get in this situation, sir? Well, I can't confirm all those

00:12:23.000 details. I would just say is that there's been a ton of bad reporting around what's been going on in

00:12:28.200 Ukraine, what's been shipped and not been shipped, and who's responsible for that. I will say this, is 1.00

00:12:34.200 that if I were still in the administration, what I would be saying is we need to put pressure on the

00:12:40.600 Germans to give over their stock of Patriot missiles to Ukraine before we send any more from our own

00:12:46.360 stocks. Same with the Spaniards, same with the Greeks. There are a ton of European partners who have

00:12:53.160 stocks of these missiles that should be giving them up before us. This idea of Ukraine or other NATO

00:13:01.640 countries buying from us, that works. That could work, but it's going to take years to refill the

00:13:08.360 update. Hang on for one second. We're going to go live to the main stage. Don Jr.'s up there. Let's

00:13:14.040 go live to the main stage. I remember when we were starting these out and it was that like that.

00:13:21.320 No, it was like this. It was like it was like your average three rows. It was like your average

00:13:25.400 political meeting where there was like 12 people in a room and this is this is awesome and there were

00:13:30.840 no young people. And now we have thousands and thousands of young people from all across the

00:13:35.800 country. It's amazing. And thank you guys for doing all of it. I know it's summer vacation and

00:13:44.840 doesn't seem like there's ever a vacation anymore. It's always nuts out there, but it's amazing to see

00:13:50.520 you guys as involved as you are watching what's going on, being vocal, having that next generation in

00:13:56.600 there is so fundamentally important. So I just love seeing you guys out there. So thank you for all of

00:14:01.480 that. It really makes a big difference. And it was obviously huge last November. Yeah. And the theme of

00:14:07.480 what we're talking about is fulfilling the mandate, especially for the younger voters in this audience.

00:14:13.080 Last week, the One Big Beautiful Bill was finally passed and signed into law. And one of the components of the One Big Beautiful Bill,

00:14:20.600 the most important is fully funding ICE, fully funding the deportation effort. What would your

00:14:28.200 appearance, what would your perspective be? Your father has said no amnesty under any circumstances

00:14:33.800 whatsoever. Talk about the need for mass deportations and how we will not put up with any amnesty whatsoever.

00:14:40.680 Listen, it's so fundamentally critical. I mean, it was really the number one

00:14:44.520 issue we all campaigned on. We see what it happened, what it did to so much of America,

00:14:50.280 what it did to so many communities. And honestly, what it did to so many of the low-income communities

00:14:54.760 in this country where people were just sweeping those jobs and ultimately everyone's potential

00:14:59.720 American dream was getting wiped away. And so the Big Beautiful Bill, the funding of the wall,

00:15:06.920 the funding of ICE is so fundamentally important to actually getting these things done, right? We saw what we

00:15:12.840 could do about just the border itself. But now you have 20 million people probably. I imagine they

00:15:19.160 don't even know. Just getting in there, they're getting all the benefits, you know, the benefits

00:15:24.200 that you guys pay for for yourselves, that your parents probably paid for for all of you guys,

00:15:29.880 and they get that with no contribution to the system. And that was by design under the Biden

00:15:35.160 administration. So to have the funding to A, start the mass deportations, but more importantly,

00:15:41.720 the parts of the bill that literally cut off all of the freebies that were just draining our

00:15:47.880 coffers, but more importantly, were a calling card to the rest of the world. Be like, you know, 0.61

00:15:52.840 come here, we'll give you everything. You know, the health care that you got gets diluted because you

00:15:58.040 get to pay for thousands of others, millions of others, tens of millions of others, who will likely

00:16:03.320 never even pay into the system. It doesn't work. It doesn't work in any other country, and there's a

00:16:08.120 reason no other country was doing it. So, you know, that was a fundamental aspect of the Big

00:16:13.080 Beautiful Bill to now actually have the funding to do this. And it was sort of amazing to me,

00:16:18.520 how much even reluctance there was from so many, you know, allegedly on our side,

00:16:23.000 who said, well, it's just controversial. You're going to have to deport someone. You know, listen,

00:16:28.760 there's going to be good people that this happens to, too, but there are millions of criminals. And this

00:16:32.680 is Joe Biden's ice. I mean, when I saw the statistics, I literally couldn't believe

00:16:38.280 that a civilization could survive when, you know, our Western values, our culture, the civilization

00:16:45.720 itself, when they literally admitted, and, you know, this is Biden's ice stats, so this is probably

00:16:50.840 diluted a lot, but 600,000 criminals, 13,000 murderers. I mean, think about that. 13,000 murderers

00:16:59.080 were let into the country. They knew they were murderers, and they let them into the country.

00:17:03.800 16,000 rapists. Okay? Add those together. You got, what, 30,000, let's call it, 30,000 murderers 0.92

00:17:11.400 and rapists. There's about 4,000 counties in America. Imagine you spread them out, you know, evenly

00:17:17.560 throughout that. Yeah, we'll throw seven murderers or rapists into every county in America. How's that 0.91

00:17:23.800 going to work? What's the end game there? And that's what was going on. The end game is Lake and Riley,

00:17:30.200 and the end game is Rachel Morin, which is dead people all across the country because of the open

00:17:34.680 border. Yeah. So, you know, that has to stop. They got to get rid of that, and they have to also

00:17:41.800 do a lot more, because they have to enable the Americans to have a chance. We have to be able to

00:17:46.360 innovate, grow, be productive enough to create the wages necessary in a lot of these businesses

00:17:51.720 that Americans will actually work there. We've seen what happens when some of these places,

00:17:55.080 oh, it's going to be a disaster. Oh, wow, there's a line of Americans ready to do some of these jobs. 0.97

00:18:00.920 You know, a big part of it was also, you know, from the corporate tax cut standpoint, right?

00:18:06.680 That's great. I mean, I'm a business guy. I love the corporate tax cuts. But I think what was really

00:18:11.960 unique about the BBB was how much time, energy, and political capital my father put into

00:18:19.160 making sure those tax cuts translate down to working class Americans. Okay? When you have the 0.95

00:18:26.040 no tax on tips, all of these ideas, they're going to benefit Americans so greatly. The original tax

00:18:33.960 plan from the first administration, it did just that. Everyone said, oh, it's just corporate. It's

00:18:38.520 just corporate. But I think the stats were like close to 90 percent of Americans, like regular people,

00:18:44.280 got thousands and thousands of dollars in real benefits to them. And that's the idea. I mean,

00:18:49.640 his fundamental purpose is to make sure that those real Americans, the hardworking Americans who've

00:18:55.560 seen their wages diminished with inflation, we're getting that under control too, but that were

00:19:00.360 really struggling for the last few years actually get to see the benefits of these cuts. And again,

00:19:06.440 it's one of those things where my father had to go way out of his way because, you know, the Republican

00:19:10.280 class, wow, we're going to do it for corporations and maybe some of that will trickle down. No.

00:19:14.760 It's going to be about the Americans, about getting them the most benefit out of this. And that's how 0.52

00:19:20.360 everyone wins. And so this last week, President Trump has been in a feud with California over the

00:19:27.160 transgender sports thing. We're both fathers of daughters. Your daughter is a very good golfer. 0.99

00:19:32.680 And what this whole like men in female sports. Wow. I told you she had a lot of fans here.

00:19:39.320 I tried to tell you, you know, it's funny. I was like, Don, and he's like, I don't want to say

00:19:44.760 we created a monster, but by, by, by chance, it sort of happened almost. I mean, it'll be a year ago

00:19:50.200 in two days. Uh, I was with her, uh, on July 13th when my father was shot and I got the unusual call,

00:19:58.200 uh, from my daughter that morning saying, Hey, I want to go fishing, which, you know,

00:20:03.320 if you have a teenage daughter, you guys are teenage daughters or so. Yeah. You're not often calling

00:20:08.200 dad to go do something. So when you call dad, she's nodding. She's like, yep. When you call dad,

00:20:12.680 he's going to do it, right? It doesn't matter. So he wasn't even the perfect day. I was like, yep,

00:20:15.800 I'm going to go get bait. We're going to go deal with it. We're going to go fishing. Uh, and you know,

00:20:21.000 we were out probably 13, 14 miles offshore, uh, having a great day, catching fish. And we got the call.

00:20:27.880 And I, you know, I picked up my phone. It's like, your dad's been shot. I'm like,

00:20:33.400 and well, we don't know anything. I'm like, Oh, that's wonderful. I, you know, they, you know,

00:20:37.080 there's calls that are good and bad. That's only a call that has degrees of bad. Right.

00:20:42.920 Uh, and we didn't know anything and we're frantically kind of calling. I guess the only thing that I guess

00:20:47.640 they did right that day, uh, was shut down other communications. And so we, I think we set the

00:20:53.160 sea speed record from offshore into Jupiter where we live and, you know, finally we're able to get

00:20:59.400 my dad on the phone and, you know, it was sort of a, uh, a harrowing thing. I, by then we'd seen some

00:21:04.520 of the videos of him coming back up with the sort of fight, fight, fight. And I just got on the phone.

00:21:09.000 Yeah. Yeah. I'm not usually at a loss for words, but that was one of those where I was like, I got

00:21:19.160 nothing, but I was like, that's the most badass thing I've ever seen. I was like, I'm not sure if

00:21:23.880 it's like the tactically the most intelligent thing I've ever seen either. You know, like, you know,

00:21:28.120 yeah, just, just stand up again. What could go wrong? Uh, you know, so I was like, but you know,

00:21:33.640 it was this sort of somber moment. And finally it was just, again, it got awkward enough. I was like,

00:21:37.960 okay, so we got to ask the most important question, which is, how's the hair? And,

00:21:44.440 and it gave me the, you know, Don, Don, Don, the hair is fine. It's a little bloody. There was a lot

00:21:51.480 of blood, Don, a lot of blood, Don, but, but the hair is fine. It'll be good. I'm going to have to

00:21:58.680 wash it. Uh, and you know, it sort of broke the ice and, uh, you know, I'm not going to say it got

00:22:04.760 normal again, but it, it, it normalized the situation. And my daughter was with me and,

00:22:09.080 uh, Kai has probably spent more time with my dad one-on-one than, than I have. And I'm a lot older

00:22:15.480 than her, largely because of golf. And she's like his golf buddy. And she plays with him every weekend

00:22:20.200 when she, when he was around. And that was all the time. And, uh, she called me that next morning.

00:22:25.480 And she's like, you know what? I want to speak at the RNC. It wasn't, and to be clear, it's my daughter.

00:22:32.040 So it wasn't exactly, I want to like, it wasn't a question. It was like, I'm going to.

00:22:36.440 And I'm just like, like, I guess I'll bump some governor. Like just, you know,

00:22:42.040 and we, and we, well, I didn't do anything. I called my dad. Uh, this was like a six o'clock

00:22:48.120 in the morning call. He picks up on the first ring. I'm like, Hey, you're doing good.

00:22:51.400 By the way, Kai wants to speak at the RNC. And he just goes, Whoa. Yeah. Well, listen,

00:22:57.480 when you do this every day, by the way, we've seen guys that do this every day and still

00:23:01.880 blow that right when there's 40,000 people and you're, you're in a stadium and just 10 million,

00:23:06.680 20 million people watching on television. And you've never given a speech in your life.

00:23:11.640 That is not easy. It's hard for most people again, who do it. It's like they're used to a small crowd

00:23:16.600 and that's easy. It's a lot of pressure. And he just like, that's a big one that could go wrong

00:23:21.480 really quickly. And we understand, uh, how bad that can go. But he just thought about it for a second.

00:23:27.560 He goes, you know what? That kid's a winner. Uh, she'll do great. Like that, that was it. Like,

00:23:32.360 congratulations. She'll open for you and like, we'll bump someone and make it happen. And she's

00:23:37.560 done a pretty good job since then. So, uh, yeah, she's amazing. 0.81

00:23:44.360 So, so then, and president Trump deserves so much credit, making sure men are not going to be in 1.00

00:23:49.400 female sports, which is the kind of connection. So she, she's a great golfer. How do you interpret

00:23:55.560 how the Democrat party continually embracing this men and female sports issue? What, what is their

00:24:03.160 reluctance to just moderate on this issue? You know what? I love it. Uh, you know, I think it's

00:24:09.320 such a top issue, especially for like a lot of the demographics that, you know, men sort of understand

00:24:14.040 it intrinsically. I think, you know, a lot of soccer moms around America, uh, sort of, you know,

00:24:20.840 their entire currency and other was virtue signaling. Right. And like they, they latched onto this

00:24:26.280 thing. And I think it was one of the guys from daily wire actually gave me credit a couple months

00:24:30.440 ago. They were like, wow, Don jr. Was on this issue in 2017 because before it was really a thing,

00:24:36.120 you'd see it like some dude would win a high school girls like track championship and they're getting

00:24:41.160 a scholarship to the finest university for track. And I'm like, yeah, but it's a dude. And this was

00:24:48.280 Twitter 1.0. So let's just say guys like you and I, and probably everyone else in this room,

00:24:53.640 you know, we were definitely in the minority there. It was 95, 5, 90, 10, you know, conservative to,

00:24:59.800 you know, raging libtard. And, and even then though, I'd, I'd put it up and be like, this is insane. 1.00

00:25:07.000 And I'd read the comments and it was, you know, just people who were just waiting to comment on

00:25:10.920 anything to hate on me, whatever it is. And I feed off the hate. It's great. It's fine.

00:25:15.240 But I remember reading the comments and being like, wow, this is a losing issue for them.

00:25:19.320 Because even the people who hated my guts were like, oh, oh, I hate Don jr. So much,

00:25:25.000 but he's right. You know, next comment. Oh, I can't believe I agree with Don jr. On something.

00:25:31.640 That's how ridiculous it was. Like before it became a thing. And then, you know, the trans mafia, 1.00

00:25:36.760 which was, you know, the, the most beyond reproach organization in the history of the world.

00:25:42.040 I've like, I've never seen a group of people that probably comprise like 0.02% of a society

00:25:48.920 that could, they were infallible, right? They could do no wrong. They were obviously right.

00:25:52.840 And the Democrats fed into every, I mean, even against like, you know, gay liberals who were 0.57

00:25:57.720 like, wait, wait a second, we fought for decades to be able to get, you know, equality and they don't

00:26:02.360 want equality. They want equality plus, plus, plus, plus, plus. This is insane. So, you know,

00:26:08.280 I think it's asinine. I think it was a great issue for people across the board, 0.93

00:26:13.320 for reasonable people who weren't sort of politically entrenched for independence.

00:26:18.280 And I love that even knowing this now, even years later, even when it's an abject fail,

00:26:24.760 they literally can't help but continue to go all in on the issue. It's a 90-10 issue. And, you know,

00:26:30.440 if Trump is in the 90, they just got to take the 100% of the other 10 and back it a thousand percent.

00:26:38.120 So, you know, I'm glad to see that they're still doing it because I think it helps us in the long

00:26:43.480 run. It's bad for the country. But it is a disaster for the country. It's a disaster for our daughters.

00:26:49.480 It's an absolute embarrassment. I mean, again, as a father of, you know, a girl athlete, to say that,

00:26:55.640 like, hey, you're just going to have to deal with it because that guy's eight inches taller than you

00:26:59.240 and stronger. Have you had to deal with that? Not yet. How would you?

00:27:03.880 Oh, I'd be vocal. I'd be loud. What's your advice for parents that have to deal? I mean,

00:27:08.040 I think it's, I think dads need to start rising up and saying, we're not going to put up with this

00:27:12.200 stuff. I mean, what is this? No, well, hey. Because I know you. I don't think you would put up with

00:27:19.400 this. No, not even like, and this will get me into trouble. But like, you have to call it out.

00:27:25.080 Yeah, you know, enough of the nonsense. Like, there's no political capital in destroying your

00:27:31.160 child's future to be woke, to be able to get the applause, you know, like from, you know,

00:27:37.400 that crowd who hates your guts anyway. And so, you know, I think it's so fundamentally important that

00:27:42.600 we all have to become unafraid to speak up on these kinds of issues. And when you do, you realize

00:27:47.480 there's actually a lot of us. It's the vast majority. But again, for years, we've been put into these

00:27:53.720 corners. There was a time where if you said these things, you'd be canceled. You'd be thrown off

00:27:57.080 social media. You'd be thrown out of the PTA meeting. You know, you couldn't do that. So we

00:28:03.000 have to stand strong for this. I've gone through enough of the, you know, the child athlete sports

00:28:08.680 thing. I have five kids. I'll get in trouble as a dad again for saying this, which is like,

00:28:13.080 you know, there's nothing quite as painful as like a three-year-old's like triple header in softball.

00:28:17.640 Like if you're going to put in years of that kind of time and then your daughter or your, you know,

00:28:22.920 your kid becomes a great athlete and you'll say, well, I guess it was a good run. They're better

00:28:28.360 than the other girls, but there's three dudes that just took their spot. I guess we're just going to

00:28:32.840 take it. You know, that's not going to work. That's the way society fails. So in closing here,

00:28:37.240 Don, because I know that, and thank you for being generous with your time. You've got a packed schedule.

00:28:40.840 The question we get a lot from the audience is, Charlie, how do I deal with the hate? Picking

00:28:47.320 up on something you said, you said it briefly. You said, the hate fuels me. I love the hate.

00:28:52.280 Yeah. Because if you look at these amazing students, and do you notice, Don, we give the

00:28:55.240 best tickets to our students? They should. Right? These are the warriors right here.

00:29:01.240 So when they say, Charlie, how do I deal with the hate at my high school? How do I deal with the

00:29:05.480 hate at my college? You are uniquely positioned to be able to answer that because you've been

00:29:10.760 hauled in front of Congress. You've been investigated. You've had a decade of hate.

00:29:14.440 Yeah. I think you have the second most death threats in the country next to your father.

00:29:17.640 Yeah. How do you deal with that? What's your advice to the patriots of all ages

00:29:21.960 that don't know how to deal with that kind of hate? Listen, you get used to it, okay? So for me,

00:29:27.560 it actually started less about just the hate. It was more about, you know, the cancel culture. It was,

00:29:32.200 you know, we built hotels and buildings. We did that in a lot of cities. Most of them are liberal cities.

00:29:37.080 We were, you know, I got invited to every cool person party in New York City for decades. And then,

00:29:42.200 you know, it was gone like that. And I was like, wow, like these people that I thought were friends

00:29:45.800 for decades, they don't call anymore. Then when you won, they called it. Oh, I love what you were

00:29:49.480 doing. I was like, no, dude, I was reading your Facebook posts. Like, you know, you're just trying

00:29:53.320 to have the best of both worlds. It does take time. But I realized it was, it was actually better,

00:29:58.920 even from a business standpoint, to be, you know, a leader for a large group. If it was 50% of the

00:30:05.480 country, it's like, wow, there's still something there, right? I'd rather be, you know, thought of

00:30:09.720 by them as someone who's willing to have that conviction to fight for these things,

00:30:14.280 then be sort of agnostic to the general population. It was just another guy that was there. So

00:30:19.000 it took a lot of time. I mean, it took a lot of, you know, you know, we lost hundreds of millions

00:30:24.280 in business, not just on the sort of the lawfare side of things that we were fighting, but just

00:30:28.600 people canceling as well. One person in a group of 100 doesn't like you. So we're just not going to go to

00:30:32.360 your hotels. That was hard to get used to. But once you got used to it, you realized

00:30:37.640 there's still hope. And what you're fighting for is so much more important in the grand scheme of

00:30:42.040 things. Again, you don't have to do everything like I did. I sort of took the aggressive approach

00:30:45.720 on everything. You can have these conversations respectfully. I love what you do. And we've done,

00:30:50.200 we did this in 16 and 15. We've been doing it for 10 years. Don and I,

00:30:53.880 who thinks Don should come to a college campus with me this tonight?

00:30:56.680 Would that be great? I think by popular demand, by popular demand. Listen, we were doing it before

00:31:04.520 it was like a daily thing when it was like, Hey, once a month, we'd go to, we went to Penn State.

00:31:08.040 We went, we went to one. It was aggressive. Up in Michigan, Michigan State.

00:31:12.840 We went up there at this, a 16 campaign. And it was me and Charlie and another friend of ours,

00:31:20.600 Tommy. Yeah. And we literally were about to get on the stage and the state police were there and they

00:31:26.520 showed up, the state police, like the Michigan state police showed up and we're like, Hey man,

00:31:31.720 you know, we can't tell you not to do this, but like, this is bad. And you know, the university,

00:31:35.640 of course, made sure that all the radicals could get in, even though we oversold to the

00:31:40.520 groups that were people like us. You guys know what we're talking about.

00:31:43.160 You've seen all of this. And they go, we can't stop you from doing it, but we also can't guarantee

00:31:48.600 your safety. And we're putting out like a notice right now that like, you should not do this.

00:31:52.840 Like it's against, you know, common sense to be going out there. And I, we basically looked at

00:31:57.560 each other. I literally said like, I would rather get my ass kicked right here, right now. 0.99

00:32:01.960 Uh, you know, then capitulate to the woke mob. And we did. 1.00

00:32:09.160 And it, it was actually amazing. We were backstage. We're about to go on. And like,

00:32:14.040 what was it? It was like the offensive line of the football team showed up. Like,

00:32:17.160 it's like, we love you guys. We're just here. If anything goes wrong, don't you worry. Like,

00:32:21.640 I mean, these guys were like our unhired, unannounced, like security detail. I'm looking

00:32:26.680 at this guy. I'm not a small guy. I'm 6'1", 195. And I was like, looking at this guy, I was like,

00:32:31.080 I don't want to meet that guy if he's on the other side. But like, uh, we went out and the energy in

00:32:35.960 the room there, there was attention. And you know, our guys sort of hit these guys with facts and reality

00:32:41.400 and, and just sort of shut them down. And so, you know, what Charlie does when he goes there,

00:32:45.880 he doesn't lose his cool. He keeps his temper. He talks about facts. And you realize

00:32:50.840 their arguments fall apart so quickly because they don't actually have anything other than sort

00:32:55.800 of the high level soundbite that they're talking about. And so when you're able to reason with them,

00:32:59.800 you see most of these people, they walk away, they're like, I thought I was going to own this

00:33:02.600 guy. And they're just, they're broken when they walk off the stage. Everyone sees it. Everyone knows it.

00:33:08.200 So you don't have to do it perhaps the way we did it. And I'm even trying to alter some of that now,

00:33:12.200 because now again, there, there's a broader coalition. We don't have to just be so forceful

00:33:16.840 with it. You can do it with facts, logic, reason, and decency. Don, I speak on behalf of all of our

00:33:22.360 students. Thank you for all you do for our movement. You work your tail off. Donald Trump Jr.,

00:33:26.520 everybody. Thank you guys.

00:33:34.360 Give it up to Don Jr.

00:33:39.080 There's a president of the United States right there.

00:33:43.000 Can we go full screen on that guys? I can direct and star at the same time.

00:33:49.080 Full screen. There we go. Yeah. And the first lady and the president right there.

00:34:00.040 Had a, uh, had a, uh, a tremendous trip today. I know we couldn't cover as much as we want. They're

00:34:05.880 going to Air Force One. Our own Brian Glenn is right there. I don't believe we're going to be

00:34:09.640 able to pick, pick that up. There's massive breaking news if you haven't heard it. Daily

00:34:16.360 Wire is reporting that, uh, Kash Patel, there's the president, not going to say anything to the press.

00:34:23.480 Kash Patel has said that if Dan Bongino resigns and leaves, that Kash Patel will step down as

00:34:31.160 director of the FBI, he will leave also.

00:34:32.920 That if Dan Bongino leaves because of Pam Bondi and not, and essentially there's the president,

00:34:42.040 first lady. Does it get any better than that right there? 1.00

00:34:44.840 The American people are not. 0.77

00:34:46.120 Does that remind you of Biden and, and, and Biden's wife? Is that exactly? Come on. Come on.

00:34:53.400 Is this an upgrade on the first lady? Huh? Huh? You're, you're proud of, you're proud of this. 0.84

00:35:01.640 Macron's wife, Biden's wife.

00:35:06.680 Come on. Come on, man. Okay. So, uh, breaking news.

00:35:09.720 Uh, Kash Patel is being reported that Kash Patel has notified that if Dan Bongino resigns

00:35:18.680 because of Pam Bondi's mishandling of what she's now publicly saying is Pam Bondi's mishandling

00:35:24.200 of the Epstein files, that he, Kash Patel, will step down as director of the FBI, uh, to, uh, to follow Dan.

00:35:35.480 If I can just give you the way I think the system works, right?

00:35:39.480 I would assume that Dan and Kash got some sign off before they made those statements,

00:35:44.280 right? I don't think those are random statements.

00:35:48.600 Here's why there's, why do you think there's, why do you think there's movement right now?

00:35:52.600 Is there movement from this afternoon, from yesterday? You agree that there's movement?

00:35:57.560 You can see movement. You know why there's movement? You. No, no, the, no, special prosecutor.

00:36:05.080 You've raised the stakes and said, we want a special prosecutor. We won't take anything else.

00:36:09.320 We want to directly report to the United States. And now you're seeing the machinery starting to work.

00:36:14.040 Well, upon further review, right? So do you guys still want a special prosecutor?

00:36:19.160 Yeah. Do you want Dan and, you don't want Dan and Kash to resign, right?

00:36:23.320 No. Remember how hard it was to get Kash confirmed? Remember how many, first off,

00:36:29.320 you guys did Bobby Kennedy, uh, Pete Hexeth. Wow. Pete's going to be here this afternoon. I think

00:36:36.920 Bobby Kennedy, Pete Hexeth, um, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard. We had no easy ones, right? There were no easy

00:36:46.920 ones. Could we have gotten Matt Gaetz confirmed as attorney general? You think so?

00:36:52.040 You think so? Did Matt Gaetz get tossed to the wayside too early? You agree with that, right?

00:36:59.640 What did we say at the beginning there? Remember before Thanksgiving, we said,

00:37:03.400 everybody that's nominated is going to take their position, right? And everybody that held

00:37:08.040 their nomination got confirmed, right? Why was that? Because of you guys. Remember, they fear you.

00:37:16.040 Do you respond? Think about it. Okay. Think about it. Think about it a second. Remember the AI bill.

00:37:23.720 The AI bill, there's a great story, if we can get it out. The Verge, right, which is a high-tech

00:37:28.680 magazine, has the inside baseball account that's brilliantly written by one of the young reporters

00:37:36.360 that I want, I'll push it, I want everybody to read. It's the inside baseball of what happened on, um,

00:37:42.440 on the AI moratorium. At 10 o'clock that morning when Mike Davis came on, that deal was dead.

00:37:49.240 They had already gotten a compromise. They were good to go. It's because Mike Davis came on War Room

00:37:54.040 and fired you guys up. They said the carpet bombing of the Senate was something they'd never seen before.

00:38:00.120 And people were irate. All of those senators immediately, even the hardest core guys on tech,

00:38:06.120 said, hey, told Ted Cruz, look, dude, this is your thing, right? All the oligarchs are in back of it.

00:38:12.520 These people are worked up right now. We don't want to face the wrath of it. You sure it's only three

00:38:16.760 votes? And that's what he put out the tweet later. Hey, they've only got three votes and it's a long

00:38:21.400 night ahead. We'll be able to get this. At one o'clock in the morning, they went to the president

00:38:26.840 of the United States. The oligarchs did. And Ted Cruz and begged for some reinforcements. You know

00:38:32.840 what the president said? Yeah, I don't think so. I think we'll let this one play out. You know why?

00:38:39.000 He understands where his base is, right? Now, this Epstein thing, people are very upset. You're

00:38:46.200 very upset after the cabinet meeting the other day, right? Right? It seems like our leader

00:38:53.320 is getting bad information. He's getting bad information. People say it doesn't matter. It's

00:38:58.680 not important. That's not correct, right? It's not correct because the Epstein situation shows us one

00:39:05.640 central thing. Who runs the country? Either the people run the country, right? Or the deep state

00:39:13.000 runs the country, right? And it's gotta, we gotta, the fight's gotta be now. We cannot sit here and let

00:39:18.680 them do it. And so already from this morning show, because of, you know, Posobiec being here and Natalie

00:39:26.200 being here and my screaming like a madman and you guys, by the way, the thing that went viral was all

00:39:31.400 you guys clapping every time and thing and, and, and getting on bill blaster and letting people know

00:39:36.120 all of a sudden, voila, starting like two hours afterwards, you know, Dan Bongino is not happy.

00:39:43.960 In fact, Dan Bongino took a day off from work, right? He's so unhappy. And then a couple hours later,

00:39:49.480 hey, Cash Patel ain't happy either, right? Cash Patel, he's more unhappy. And in fact, if Dan leaves,

00:39:55.240 Cash is gonna leave. Do you want, of all the work we did with Cash and Dan, do you want Cash and Dan to leave?

00:40:00.760 You want, well, okay, why? Right there.

00:40:06.920 Can you hear me? Okay, so he was on Joe Rogan and he was gaslighting us, okay?

00:40:12.920 I'm not, on, on, on, how so? Well, as far as the Epstein is concerned, you're telling me that he has

00:40:17.560 thousands, tens of thousands of hours of video. Also, I'd love a job. That's why I came here. I'd love to

00:40:22.200 work for you, but I'm just saying, uh, 10, 10,000 hours of job. You're really going down a great path for a job.

00:40:26.680 Yeah. Keep going. Okay. It's like the young guy today, trashing Trump. Yeah.

00:40:30.840 10, well, I love James, James Zirkle's bonus just got cut. I love Trump. I love MAGA. My mom is going to

00:40:37.080 be so pissed. I'm not recording this, but it's okay. Um, you know, we are, we are. So it's called

00:40:41.800 television. 10,000, 10,000 hours of child, whatever, you know, them messing with kids and

00:40:47.720 hang on time. Stop, stop, stop. Let's be precise. They said young women. No, no. They said 10,000

00:40:55.000 hours were uploaded, not originally produced. It was uploaded of child porn. Okay. So that's,

00:41:00.920 that could be, and it implies it's not, I'm not saying it's terrible and you got to release it,

00:41:05.960 right? Somebody redacted, but that at least it's implying, look, these guys who have been there

00:41:10.280 forever, at least in that memo, have you ever seen promulgated at any of your companies or anything

00:41:16.200 when it comes from the top? An undated, unsigned memo. I take it. Nobody wants to take ownership

00:41:23.000 of that memo, right? But continue on. I voted MAGA three times. Um, and did he, did he win all three

00:41:32.600 times? Yes. Yes. There's no doubt in your mind. Not a doubt. Not a single doubt. Why don't we have a

00:41:37.880 special prosecutor for the 2020 election? Do you think that might be important or something we need

00:41:43.000 to know in J6 and what Nancy Pelosi did? Let's just adjudicate it. By the way, if it goes against

00:41:48.920 us, are we fine if they come out after adjudicating it and find out that Trump lost the 2020 election

00:41:55.400 fair and square? Are you prepared to accept that? Yes. Hang on. Get the weak ones here.

00:42:01.480 Because he did. No, you're right. Do we have to adjudicate it? Yes.

00:42:05.800 Yes. Okay. Continue on. I, I feel gaslit by Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, um, and Dan Bongino, who I was,

00:42:14.360 I was in big support of. Um, it is very clear that I, I agree without like some other sources.

00:42:20.280 Well, Dan Bongino has already told you as early as afternoon that he's not, uh, that he's not, um,

00:42:26.280 do we have something up? Huh? Reporting on it. Let's go and play it. We got a report now from

00:42:32.680 hang on for one second. You're doing fine. Give him the hook. No, just stay, stay right there.

00:42:38.520 Your, your exit interview is going to continue.

00:42:40.600 Dan Bongino is considering leaving his job after this heated confrontation with Attorney

00:42:45.560 General Pam Bondi over his frustration with how the Justice Department has handled the Jeffrey Epstein

00:42:50.520 files. That's according to a person who's spoken with Bongino and a source familiar with Bongino and

00:42:55.960 FBI director Cash Patel's interactions with Bondi quote, Bongino is out of control, furious. The

00:43:03.000 person who has spoken with the deputy FBI director said quote, this destroyed his career. He's

00:43:08.840 threatening to quit and torch Pam unless she is fired.

00:43:12.440 By the way, is that your favorite too? Nicole Wallace, right? Don't you love Nicole? She's the

00:43:25.160 new Rachel Maddow. Okay. You heard it right there. What Dan saying even there was a huge confrontation

00:43:32.280 about this and then he threatened, he threatened to resign. She put it out anyway, and he's going

00:43:37.800 to resign unless she's fired. Tell me where you guys come down. Okay. How many want to see

00:43:44.520 Cash Patel and Dan Bongino resign over at the FBI? Raise your hand. Okay. I got one. I got one. A

00:43:51.880 former potential ex-employee. How many want to see what Dan Bongino say? Want to see Pam Bondi resign? 0.53

00:44:01.800 Now, hang on. We've known Pam for a long time, right? You're prepared to throw her under a bus that 1.00

00:44:06.520 quickly. Okay. Why? Get some response. Can you get over to the case? Let's get over to 0.86

00:44:12.680 get to Burquam right now. Come over here. Come over here. Come over here. I mean, if we have to get in

00:44:17.160 the shot. Oh, wait. Okay. All right, Ben. If we, if we have to choose between Patel, Bongino and Bondi,

00:44:25.240 I mean, it's an obvious choice. I mean, if that's, if that's where it's at, it's, it's a no brainer. If that's

00:44:30.680 what we have to choose between, then Bonnie can go. And I, you know, I don't know everything that's going

00:44:36.200 on in there, but I, I've always said, there's no way that Dan Bongino gave up everything he had

00:44:42.120 to do this job to lie to us. I don't buy that. Pam, Pam, Pam Bondi's a good person, right?

00:44:48.200 Why are you not, why are you not satisfied with her job? Let me hear it. Give it to me. Why?

00:44:53.240 Well, let's get some other people. Let's have a couple of female. We got any female types that have any, 1.00

00:44:58.440 any female types have an opinion? He identifies as a female. I know the women around the war room are always so 1.00

00:45:02.760 quiet. I'm wearing my red shirt. So this is what I would say to that. Either Pam Bondi is playing

00:45:12.200 3D or 4D chess with Trump and he's a part of it, or she needs to just go because she was also,

00:45:19.640 I believe a Pfizer consultant or something at some point. So I think she needs to go unless

00:45:27.560 President Trump and everybody says he plays, you know, 4 and 5D chess. And if he's playing that

00:45:33.320 right now, then he'll smooth it over and Dan will stay. But we need Dan and Cash to stay.

00:45:38.200 You think there's a bank shot? Jane, a circle. Jane, no fluoride. Let's stay on topic.

00:45:44.040 Yeah, I think either there's some behind the scenes negotiations with she and the president or not.

00:45:53.000 And if it's not, then she can see greener pastures elsewhere. Okay. Talk about 5D chess. Hang on a

00:46:00.280 second. My trustee producer just informed me of inside baseball in D.C. that actually are saying

00:46:09.000 that it might be Pam Bondi leaking that to become stronger and force those two guys out. What do you 0.65

00:46:14.280 think? What do you think? Is that a bank shot? By the way, you've never seen vicious till you've seen

00:46:20.680 Washington, D.C., right? Worse than the court of Henry VIII. Your thoughts on that? She might be

00:46:26.920 good. I don't think she's that good. Okay. You're not buying it. Right there. I think Pam Bondi has

00:46:32.600 been compromised. You think she's been compromised? Oh, hold it. She was attorney general of the great

00:46:37.640 state of Florida for eight years. Did a great job, right? She was. Well, how many Floridians are here?

00:46:43.480 Yeah. Were you happy with Pam Bondi as attorney general? Not now. So what happened?

00:46:52.360 It's a different job. Okay. Short commercial. This is what I mean by blowing the break. Short commercial

00:46:56.280 break. Back in a moment. This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The

00:47:05.240 block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal

00:47:11.960 of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio reset.

00:47:18.920 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, 0.57

00:47:23.960 bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen

00:47:29.640 overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment

00:47:36.920 when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

00:51:25.800 Do it today. Do not let this thing get ahead of you. Do it today.

00:51:31.380 You know, it's out of control, furious. Quote, this destroyed his career. He's threatening to quit and

00:51:36.800 torch Pam unless she's fired. I mean, again, I know we're not in normal times, but if I could just

00:51:42.740 inject a little bit of that barometer, the deputy director of the FBI said that about any attorney

00:51:49.280 general to the press, that he plans to go torch his boss, that would be a fireable offense.

00:51:57.160 Yeah, I mean, this is Dan Bongino. Dan Bongino's been out of control for years. You know,

00:52:01.960 Mitch describes him as a bozo. He is. But I just did a cautionary note here. You know,

00:52:06.460 Dan Bongino leaving the FBI is not going to solve the problems of the FBI. Dan Bongino's

00:52:11.640 departure is not going to make anything calmer or better. By the way, your interview with Sue

00:52:18.600 Gordon and the discussions in the previous hour did underline how grave the threat is. But

00:52:24.380 to Mitch's point, all of this flows from Donald Trump himself. So when one guy like Dan Bongino

00:52:31.940 leaves, it doesn't mean that things go back to anything close to normal, because this is what

00:52:38.400 Donald Trump wants. This is why he named these loyalists. He didn't want to have what happened

00:52:43.000 in his first term, where he had, you know, slightly independent cabinet members who bailed on him.

00:52:48.680 And so this is the house that Donald Trump built. He sent Kash Patel and Dan Bongino into the FBI to

00:52:57.780 torch the place, to tear it all down. And, you know, it's not perhaps working out the way that

00:53:02.940 he wanted. But this is a mess. The one thing that if Dan Bongino does leave, it takes the Epstein story

00:53:08.860 and it just pours kerosene on it. It's not something that we just move on from, especially in MAGA world.

00:53:15.000 So you will see this. You know, one of the big questions I think we have is, you know,

00:53:18.840 is this a one day story? Is this something that we're going to forget about by Monday?

00:53:22.780 If Dan Bongino and or Kash Patel were to leave because of this, that guarantees that it is going

00:53:28.820 to simmer for a very, very long time. And the result will be more chaos, not less chaos in the Trump

00:53:35.860 administration. Do you agree? Do you agree right there that this is throwing kerosene on this fire?

00:53:43.560 Right? You agree? Yes. Let's have some responses over here. All right, ladies. Ladies, we got the

00:53:49.420 ladies in here. Hi, I'm Xavier Powers from New York. My mom loves you. She watches you all the time. So

00:53:55.960 I just wanted to say that I'm really upset about like... A woman of discernment, I can tell. Yeah. 1.00

00:54:02.480 But like, I'm really like kind of upset. So my brothers about like, they're not like releasing the

00:54:08.700 Epstein files at all. And like, we don't know what's going on. How old are you? 19. Why do you,

00:54:13.280 why do you, why do all these young people, why do the young people care? Why do you care? 0.85

00:54:17.120 Because we want our country to move forward and not back into like being like so left that we're not

00:54:23.760 like separated. And it's just, it's just really good for people to be like, oh, there's other people

00:54:28.780 like me around the world. It's just really cool. I also went to YAF, Young America Sound Foundation.

00:54:34.620 And I've met a lot of people. I'm from New York. So I met a lot of people.

00:54:39.480 You're from New York City or upstate New York? Upstate New York. And I met a lot of people there

00:54:43.520 that like thought the same way as me. And I was like, this is really refreshing because all my

00:54:47.260 friends were like hardcore liberals from public school. So I was like, this is really refreshing.

00:54:52.440 So why does Epstein, why does Epstein and the Epstein Files, this story and what's happening

00:54:58.180 in the FBI, why does it make any difference in what you just said?

00:55:01.620 Well, because it's just like, I really want to like hear what's going on in the world. I just

00:55:06.360 don't want to be like, ignorance is bliss sometimes, but like not all the time. You need to know like

00:55:11.960 facts and everything like that. That's why we have things like the war room,

00:55:16.200 Turning Point USA. It's just like really important for us to know those things and like what's going on

00:55:21.260 in our country? Because if we don't know that we're just going to be like.

00:55:23.880 Thank you, man. And what's your name?

00:55:25.340 Xavier Ann Powers.

00:55:26.900 Fantastic.

00:55:27.500 Xavier Ann Xavier.

00:55:29.020 Your mom raised you up right.

00:55:31.680 Shout out to your mom. What's your mom's mom? 1.00

00:55:33.360 Maria. Shout out to Maria. 1.00

00:55:34.780 Maria.

00:55:35.440 All right. Come here, young lady. 1.00

00:55:37.340 Hey, I feel like Lindsey Graham publicly supported Pam Bondi for her nomination.

00:55:42.680 So did that make you concerned?

00:55:44.220 Killed it for me. Yeah.

00:55:45.740 Correct me if I'm wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't the president of the United States,

00:55:49.200 our leader, endorse Lindsey Graham in South Carolina?

00:55:52.480 Well, that was a deal, I guess. I don't know about.

00:55:56.840 Are you a fan of Lindsey Graham?

00:55:58.360 I am not.

00:55:59.080 Are you a fan of Ukraine?

00:56:00.640 No.

00:56:01.660 Is it in your mind, is it in your mind, Cash and Dan or Pam, one or the other?

00:56:09.020 Yes.

00:56:09.260 Either you keep the set of those at the FBI and replace the attorney general, or she stays

00:56:13.320 and they go?

00:56:14.260 No, she goes and they stay.

00:56:15.640 You're at, okay, how many, you guys support that?

00:56:21.840 She's got to go.

00:56:23.380 Pam Bondi was a great attorney general in Florida for eight years. Does that make a difference?

00:56:27.720 No.

00:56:28.620 Does not.

00:56:29.380 No.

00:56:29.860 Why?

00:56:31.060 Because she's not helping us.

00:56:32.980 She's hurting us. 1.00

00:56:34.720 Why is Epstein so important? Let's get somebody else. Why is Epstein, why is the Epstein situation

00:56:38.780 so important?

00:56:39.360 Steve, you opened our eyes to just the deep corruption. I mean, we had no idea how important,

00:56:46.160 you know, potentially a CIA asset. I mean, we didn't know any of that until you started

00:56:51.180 talking about all of the things that you talk about every day. And I would hate to lose

00:56:56.660 Pam or Cash or Dan. Wouldn't want to lose any of them. But something still doesn't feel

00:57:03.740 right about the binder situation, that whole debacle, something is not right with that.

00:57:12.220 How did you feel? You're a supporter of President Trump?

00:57:14.560 Yeah.

00:57:14.980 You voted for President Trump?

00:57:16.200 I did.

00:57:17.180 How did you feel the other day in the cabinet room when they asked President Trump about

00:57:20.940 the Epstein situation? What did you feel?

00:57:22.540 I felt like he was pushing it off, and I don't know why.

00:57:27.580 If you were able to sit in the Oval Office with President Trump and give him, from your

00:57:32.860 heart, your recommendation about this situation, what would you tell him?

00:57:36.420 Release it all. Release it all.

00:57:39.140 Even if it hurt victims?

00:57:41.820 I don't see how it could. I mean, it's got to own, you know, sunlight is the best.

00:57:46.840 How about his concern? How about if it hurts innocent people?

00:57:49.600 Okay. Yeah, I guess, yeah, I don't know how it would hurt innocent people, but.

00:57:55.620 But if it did hurt innocent people, would you still release it?

00:57:59.160 Yeah, it has to be released.

00:58:01.180 Why does it have to be released?

00:58:02.400 The transparency.

00:58:04.940 Jane, let's go over here.

00:58:06.160 What's your name, and how old are you?

00:58:07.740 I'm Will. I'm 13.

00:58:09.680 And why do you think the Epstein file should be released?

00:58:12.460 I don't think it's really about Epstein. I think it's about the deep state and just everything

00:58:17.840 surrounding Epstein.

00:58:19.880 He's like, just the tip of the iceberg.

00:58:23.140 Why do you think they haven't released them?

00:58:26.440 I think it's, I think it's mostly the deep state getting in the way.

00:58:31.960 Hang on for a second. Hang on for a second.

00:58:33.800 Are you simply repeating what you hear your mom and dad talking around the table?

00:58:38.320 Or is this coming from your own reading and your own thinking and your friends talking?

00:58:42.340 This is coming from you, Charlie Kirk, basically everyone here.

00:58:53.400 Who are you most excited to see at SAS?

00:58:56.960 Um, Charlie Kirk.

00:58:58.540 All right.

00:58:59.820 That's the second best answer.

00:59:02.080 What do you think about the Epstein files?

00:59:05.260 I think President Trump's going to ultimately do the right thing.

00:59:08.540 Hold on. Let's get this guy's, let's get this guy's information if we can.

00:59:12.540 Do you have social media?

00:59:13.340 Mary Beth, can you get his, yeah.

00:59:14.440 Social media?

00:59:15.160 Uh, no.

00:59:15.740 Good man.

00:59:17.340 Can we just get his information on how we make contact?

00:59:20.000 We have an intern program.

00:59:22.040 In fact, Jane Zirkle and Natalie Winters and Will Blair all came up through the intern program.

00:59:28.100 So thank you.

00:59:29.220 I didn't hear what he had to say.

00:59:31.140 I'm sorry.

00:59:31.380 What do you think about the Epstein files?

00:59:33.100 I think President Trump's going to ultimately do the right thing and it's going to work out.

00:59:37.820 The files are going to be released.

00:59:39.820 There may be some redactions to protect the internet.

00:59:42.560 Is he getting good information around him?

00:59:45.740 Probably, if you're talking about Bongino and Patel, yes.

00:59:52.700 The others, I'm not so sure anymore.

00:59:54.100 What about the amnesty situation?

00:59:58.700 I think he's going to do the right thing on that, too.

01:00:01.640 And what would the right thing be?

01:00:03.660 If you're here illegally, you're here illegally. 0.97

01:00:06.160 You've broken our laws.

01:00:06.880 Is that where you guys stand?

01:00:08.000 If you're here illegally, you've got to go? 0.96

01:00:09.780 Yes.

01:00:10.660 You don't have any empathy.

01:00:12.240 You guys are hard-hearted.

01:00:14.220 Why are you so hard-hearted?

01:00:15.740 We love hard-hearted.

01:00:17.020 Hey, we're still working, Ben.

01:00:20.240 Okay, get focused.

01:00:21.280 I haven't.

01:00:21.940 I'm deep in conversation over here, Steve.

01:00:24.040 I'm sorry.

01:00:24.440 Okay.

01:00:24.800 Young lady, come here. 0.78

01:00:25.840 Okay.

01:00:27.080 Okay, you're going to hate me for this, but why did Elon Musk tweet that you were on that list?

01:00:33.760 Do what?

01:00:35.020 I'm not going to hate you for that.

01:00:36.280 Because you know why?

01:00:38.260 Don't kill the messenger.

01:00:39.940 I'm just asking you why.

01:00:40.940 It's a great question.

01:00:41.880 It's a great question.

01:00:42.900 Because I'm the guy, one of my sole focuses in life is the total and complete destruction of Elon Musk.

01:00:49.880 He's one of the most evil people ever to walk the face of the earth, right? 0.99

01:00:53.200 And he's trying to throw out all kind of garbage. 1.00

01:00:55.200 Of course it's absurd. 0.99

01:00:56.380 Just like President, it's absurd on President Trump.

01:00:59.100 You saw how evil it was.

01:01:01.140 President Trump brought him into his family.

01:01:03.780 I've never seen President Trump have somebody for Christmas dinner.

01:01:07.760 He had the family there.

01:01:08.880 He let Elon come up with the little boy ex, have a photo.

01:01:12.220 He took it in there.

01:01:13.000 And what did he say when he couldn't get his way on the tax cuts for environmental?

01:01:18.280 He went there, went there, went there.

01:01:19.760 And then he said, Trump's in the Epstein file.

01:01:22.720 That's what kind of guy he is.

01:01:24.280 He will smear Trump. 0.62

01:01:25.220 He'll smear me.

01:01:25.880 He'll smear anybody who stands in the way. 1.00

01:01:27.220 And I'm the one person that stood up to this guy when everybody around kissed his ass, okay? 1.00

01:01:35.300 A guy like Elon Musk is not just deeply flawed. 1.00

01:01:39.520 He's pure evil. 0.92

01:01:40.480 And Musk understands something.

01:01:42.100 I am 100% focused on your total and complete destruction.

01:01:46.440 And, bro, we're making real progress, okay?

01:01:49.420 We're making real progress.

01:01:50.560 You know why? 0.99

01:01:51.420 Because you're completely and totally evil. 1.00

01:01:53.780 And you're an illegal alien. 1.00

01:01:55.240 And you should be deported back to South Africa immediately. 1.00

01:01:58.160 That's right.

01:01:59.200 Was that the answer?

01:02:00.340 You got it.

01:02:01.600 By the way, President Trump, his smear on President Trump, everything President Trump's done for this country,

01:02:07.860 everything President Trump's suffered for this country, President Trump, remember, he got indicted how many times?

01:02:13.900 And he has 700 years or 350 years in prison above him.

01:02:17.280 He got assassination attempt.

01:02:18.660 Two of them, but one were they hitting.

01:02:19.860 I went to a federal prison for four months, and this guy who's done nothing but suck money and value out of this country and taxpayers, you know, SpaceX, 97% of SpaceX revenue come from you.

01:02:33.800 You pay for it, okay?

01:02:35.240 He owns 50% or 70%.

01:02:37.900 They just did a valuation and financing at $315 billion.

01:02:42.820 Do you owe him a penny of that?

01:02:44.580 No.

01:02:45.040 When I made the statement we should nationalize it, and we should nationalize it, and take the value of SpaceX and give all of you guys a piece of the action, right?

01:02:53.740 Because you're paying for it, not him.

01:02:56.280 He should get 20% of whatever management teams get.

01:02:59.340 All he is is a defense contractor. 0.94

01:03:01.360 He's a total scam.

01:03:02.340 And he thinks because he owns Twitter, he can't.

01:03:05.480 We backed him off the HB1 visas.

01:03:08.120 We back him off every time.

01:03:09.500 You know why?

01:03:10.160 He's a tiny little boy.

01:03:11.520 You see the pictures of him when he was at PayPal with the bald head and the goofy face?

01:03:16.060 That's Elon Musk, right?

01:03:17.800 That is Elon Musk. 0.99

01:03:19.120 He's a total and complete dweeb and a nerd. 0.99

01:03:21.980 And I am totally and completely focused on his total and complete destruction and deportation out of this country because he's evil. 1.00

01:03:30.720 He turned on President Trump.

01:03:32.040 He started this America Party, which essentially everybody that voted was in the subcontinent of India.

01:03:38.640 Why did he do that?

01:03:39.820 He did that so he could flip enough House seats so that President Trump would get impeached.

01:03:46.200 What's going to happen in 26 if you have an America Party that takes five or six House seats or costs a couple hundred million dollars?

01:03:53.380 This guy's total program is to put a gun to President Trump's head.

01:03:56.980 Well, guess what? 0.97

01:03:57.820 A lot of people are afraid of him.

01:03:59.360 And back down, I'm not afraid of him.

01:04:00.960 In fact, the bigger they come, the harder they fall.

01:04:04.480 And I am totally and completely focused on his destruction.

01:04:08.000 And he should understand what happened yesterday with NASA where his buddy, his best friend, ran it and gave him all those soft contracts over to SpaceX to make it worth $600 billion.

01:04:19.560 Sean Duffy and Sean Duffy was the one individual sat in that cabinet room when Elon Musk sat there and told the president, hey, this guy's totally incompetent, don't know what he's doing.

01:04:31.520 He said, dude, you got these doge 19 year olds with acne running around letting half the air traffic controllers go. 0.97

01:04:37.960 I'm not going to tolerate it.

01:04:39.600 Elon Musk said, oh, no, that's not the truth. 0.99

01:04:41.720 And Sean Duffy had the stones to sit there and say, you are a liar and I'll prove your lie. 0.99

01:04:48.800 And President Trump respected that. 0.98

01:04:50.560 That's why he put Sean Duffy in charge of NASA.

01:04:52.920 And let me tell Elon Musk something.

01:04:54.740 Your days over SpaceX are going to be a lot harder now that Sean Duffy's on NASA, including beginning a forensic audit of all the money you stole.

01:05:03.700 You do understand the Doge thing, what he did at Doge, a complete lie.

01:05:07.780 You know what Doge was there for?

01:05:09.600 It was there to get the data and data sets of American citizens to drive artificial intelligence.

01:05:15.560 Artificial intelligence, he's not prepared to share with anybody.

01:05:18.260 He's not prepared to share the value of it.

01:05:20.340 We're not going to let it happen.

01:05:21.500 I can already tell you there are many things underway right now to make sure he's totally held accountable for every second he was in the federal government.

01:05:29.320 But thank you for the question.

01:05:30.620 I knew you'd like that one.
