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
00:04:22.940
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,
00:05:13.760
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?
00:06:15.380
Yeah, I'd love Cash, but I'd love Government Gangster Cash.
00:06:19.200
I'm not so sure. I don't know if I'm loving this version.
00:06:21.980
And I'd love me some Cash, but hey, where are the arrests?
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?
00:06:42.120
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,
00:07:04.920
Well, as Pan Bondi's doppelganger, I think we could do a very interesting reenactment of
00:07:12.220
Her doppelganger, Pan Bondi's 60, and you're 16.
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...
00:07:46.960
Zirkle goes to... Can we talk about chemtrails for a moment or geoengineering? I'm just kidding.
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
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
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
00:10:26.280
weapons away from Israel, sir? I actually think we should supply Israel. I can make a better argument
00:10:33.720
for supplying Israel over Ukraine because I think that we should supply Israel along with our Gulf
00:10:40.680
partners, create a security architecture in the Middle East that can balance Iran and then keep
00:10:46.680
an external hegemon out and that allows us to retrench from the region. But you brought up Israel too.
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.
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
00:23:44.360
So, so then, and president Trump deserves so much credit, making sure men are not going to be in
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
00:32:01.960
Uh, you know, then capitulate to the woke mob. And we did.
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.,
00:33:39.080
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
00:34:32.920
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?
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.
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?
00:40:06.920
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?
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
00:44:06.520
quickly. Okay. Why? Get some response. Can you get over to the case? Let's get over to
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,
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
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
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,
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.

There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting
00:48:32.360
enough attention. The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland.
00:48:39.000
They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed,
00:48:44.440
and farming equipment. Why? It's not clear. They're tightening their grip on global food production.
00:48:51.720

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.
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?
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.
00:55:37.340
Hey, I feel like Lindsey Graham publicly supported Pam Bondi for her nomination.
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.
00:56:01.660
Is it in your mind, is it in your mind, Cash and Dan or Pam, one or the other?
00:56:09.260
Either you keep the set of those at the FBI and replace the attorney general, or she stays
00:56:15.640
You're at, okay, how many, you guys support that?
00:56:23.380
Pam Bondi was a great attorney general in Florida for eight years. Does that make a difference?
00:56:34.720
Why is Epstein so important? Let's get somebody else. Why is Epstein, why is the Epstein situation
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?
00:57:17.180
How did you feel the other day in the cabinet room when they asked President Trump about
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?
00:57:41.820
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?
00:58:09.680
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
00:58:26.440
I think it's, I think it's mostly the deep state getting in the way.
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.
00:59:05.260
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.
00:59:17.340
Can we just get his information on how we make contact?
00:59:22.040
In fact, Jane Zirkle and Natalie Winters and Will Blair all came up through the intern program.
00:59:33.100
I think President Trump's going to ultimately do the right thing and it's going to work out.
00:59:39.820
There may be some redactions to protect the internet.
00:59:45.740
Probably, if you're talking about Bongino and Patel, yes.
00:59:58.700
I think he's going to do the right thing on that, too.
01:00:03.660
If you're here illegally, you're here illegally.
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?
01:00:42.900
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?
01:00:53.200
And he's trying to throw out all kind of garbage.
01:00:56.380
Just like President, it's absurd on President Trump.
01:01:03.780
I've never seen President Trump have somebody for Christmas dinner.
01:01:08.880
He let Elon come up with the little boy ex, have a photo.
01:01:13.000
And what did he say when he couldn't get his way on the tax cuts for environmental?
01:01:27.220
And I'm the one person that stood up to this guy when everybody around kissed his ass, okay?
01:01:35.300
A guy like Elon Musk is not just deeply flawed.
01:01:42.100
I am 100% focused on your total and complete destruction.
01:01:55.240
And you should be deported back to South Africa immediately.
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.
01:02:19.860
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.
01:02:37.900
They just did a valuation and financing at $315 billion.
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?
01:02:56.280
He should get 20% of whatever management teams get.
01:03:02.340
And he thinks because he owns Twitter, he can't.
01:03:11.520
You see the pictures of him when he was at PayPal with the bald head and the goofy face?
01:03:21.980
And I am totally and completely focused on his total and complete destruction and deportation out of this country because he's evil.
01:03:32.040
He started this America Party, which essentially everybody that voted was in the subcontinent of India.
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.
01:04:00.960
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.
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.
01:04:50.560
That's why he put Sean Duffy in charge of NASA.
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.
01:05:09.600
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.
01:05:21.500
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.
01:05:33.700
Do we have, if we don't have John Solomon, I've got to bowl because we're in the sixth class.
01:05:38.420
Mike, tell me, I need a set of sheets and a pillow right now.
01:05:45.340
I wish I could have been there, but I'm working on something really big, and I'm going to actually tell you all about it on The War Room this week.
01:05:51.320
But right now, you guys can get the best special we've ever done at MyPillow.
01:06:09.980
And then we have the sandals, the summer sandals at $19.98.
01:06:27.780
Those sheets are normally $100 and some dollars.
01:06:40.500
They got the—can you run down, take some calls?
01:06:53.560
What I'm going to do is start the meet and greet, all you folks over here.
01:06:56.720
If John Solomon calls in, I'll take the call over there.
01:07:25.660
