Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show.
Hey, my sincere apologies. As you know, I try to be punctual. If you're five minutes early, you're ten minutes late. However, we wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for the interview. We were just doing some sound and everything like that to make sure the sound and the audio was absolutely perfect for it. We're trying to get it there.
So, you know, when it's a podcast, this isn't, you know, cable news or things like that where there's this big, heavy structure to the show. This is kind of a conversation between you and I. So forgive me. I always try to start close to on time every single day, plus or minus, you know, 30 seconds or so. So that one is on me. Got an interview with FBI Director Kash Patel today.
We're going to talk about a lot of things. Trans violence, Antifa, the national security threats, violent crime, the reforms that went on over there, public corruption cases. We got all of it.
But I do want to talk about opening up the show today, Bob, the Antifa threat, because an article came out yesterday and it's going to describe to you perfectly how the lib commie class covers up for outright criminality. Outright criminality. It's not just that they're covering up government misfeasance. They cover up malfeasance and criminality, too.
And you'll see in this article I'm going to put right on the screen right at the start of the show how they don't care if you get hurt or anything else happens. All they care about is the damn narrative every single time. I'll ask the director about it later too. Let's get right to it. I don't know about you, but my car basically is my office half the time. I'm always in it.
Between commuting for work, driving to meetings, and squeezing in weekend trips to see family, I'm putting some serious miles on the car.

Chapter 2: What insights does Kash Patel share about his experience in the FBI?
It's all of the stuff you're probably thinking. But there's an actual reason for this. I bring this up because I saw an article pop up yesterday at MSNOW, which is what we'll be calling it from now, pun intended, on. MSNOW had this article by the absolutely hapless Brandi Zadrozny, who amazingly has a 100% success rate of failing, which is incredible. That's really hard to do.
That's a perfect batting average of failure. And in this article, they're going back again to the idea that, That Antifa, given the spate of Antifa arrests, is an idea. But there's a reason they're doing it. They want these Antifa folks. Let me stop. First, the left has always had shock troops on the street.
Chapter 3: How does Kash Patel describe the threat of Antifa?
When you look at collectivists, socialists, commies throughout modern human history. They have always had a group of shock troops on the street, honestly, to beat the shit out of you if you speak up. The left loves that stuff. They've always had their shock troops on the street. They've always used violence to shut you up when they can't steal your money through collectivism.
The problem they have in the United States is we have federal laws, and states probably have them too, against organizing criminal activity. RICO statutes. for racketeering. If you organize to conduct criminal activity in the name of some group, whether it be La Cosa Nostra or Al Qaeda, they can use these statutes. It is not legal for you to organize. You could organize a Boy Scout meeting.
You can't organize a freaking terror attack or a rackets operation. You can't. So the left needs Antifa. on the street for their shock troop operation, and they love it as an intimidation factor if you speak out against them, and they want to take advantage of all the benefits of organizing, money, social media exposure, hey, show up on this corner and beat the crap out of some aga people.
They want to take advantage of all of that, but they don't want to pay any criminal penalty for their shock troop people on the street. So they say, well, it's not an organization, it's an idea. Do you get it? I say this because I forgive me if I'm wrong. Send me the clip. I'll play it if you guys have it in the chat or elsewhere.
If anyone else has said this in the media, I don't want to steal their idea. I haven't heard it yet. That's the reason. It's not just a distraction and all that other stuff. Yes, that's true. They want to organize while avoiding criminal penalties for organizing. So the left will come out there and constantly say things like Antifa is just an idea. Again, why did I bring this up?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Biden administration's policies on crime?
Here's MSNOW Brandi Zadrozny. She knows exactly what she's doing here with this bullshit here. This just came out. Federal investigators hadn't previously focused on Antifa for good reason, according to this guy she cites, the DOJ's former counsel for domestic terrorism.
Antifa has always been construed as more of a politics or an activity of radical opposition to the far right, as opposed to an actual organization. Brzezinski told MSNOW. It's strange credulity notes. The headline is pieces. Trump wants to prosecute anti-fascist terrorists. This Texas trial will test his power.
Folks, in Prairieland, Texas, there have been upwards of, and again, I'll address this with Director Patel later. I was there for this. with that attack, there've been upwards of 20 plus arrests for Antifa related activity and violence there.
The left is freaking out because if the prosecutions and convictions roll through as the process starts to just wrap up on this case, they're in a world of trouble because they're not gonna be able to take advantage of their criminal organizations and the use of money, money flows and everything like that. The president is dead set
on cracking down on criminal organizations and acting violence in the street to further some political ideology. Zadrozny knows exactly what she's doing here. The left will cover up any amount of abhorrent criminal activity as long as it advances their cause or scares the shit out of you into silence. I want you to remember this in case you missed it. We played it a couple weeks ago.
This was the former FBI director who didn't take this stuff seriously. And putting out there into the political ecosystem, because this was a political bullshit statement to provide air cover for the shock troops. This wasn't a statement from a professional law enforcement officer who knew what he was doing. This is Christopher Wray talking about Antifa, implying that, oh, it's just an idea.
This is how we're looking at it. No, no, no one's looking at it that way now, not in this FBI. Check this out.
We look at Antifa as more of an ideology or a movement. than an organization. To be clear, we do have quite a number of properly predicated domestic terrorism investigations into violent anarchist extremists, any number of whom self-identify with the Antifa movement, and that's part of this broader group of domestic violent extremists that I'm talking about, but it's just one part of it.
We also have the racially motivated violent extremists, the militia types, and others.

Chapter 5: What controversies surround the FBI's handling of election-related issues?
This is a left wing problem. This is a left wing problem. I'm a white supremacist. Antifa is an idea, not an organization. Not militia. You see how that worked? Ray gave them the air cover to go out and allow them to organize out there without any of the penalties of organization and organizing criminal activity. It's not an organization. It's just an idea.
Again, I haven't heard anybody explain that before. And over the past year, breaking all that down and looking at it like the organization it claims it is, is the only way to stop them from preying on innocent Americans and the spate of violence happening with them now. It's not just there, folks.
You know, what spurred me to talk about this yesterday is this recent episode, again, of trans violence. Another thing when, during the past year, I'll address with Director Patel again later, But they weren't looking at this at all. This is a very real and tragic phenomenon that's resulted in all too many homicides and violence, whether it's Nashville, Minnesota.
Now, see, was it Rhode Island, this latest tragic news story? But the Democrats, the liberal media, their commie buddies, and their useful idiots will cover this stuff up. They will do anything to avoid you looking at the problem. They want you to treat a sore throat when you're dealing with a cancer.
They don't want you to deal with the problem because the problem, at least in the case of the shock troops with Antifa, is useful for them because it's meant to intimidate you from going in the streets and exercising your right to assemble too. They always needed the shock troops. The trans, their focus on the trans issue and their ignoring of trans violence is a totally different issue.
It is a cover-up of criminal activity on their part, but it's for a different reason. Democrats need you and the liberal media need you in boxes. They will create a box. It doesn't matter what it is. Union, non-union, women, man, black, white, Jew, Muslim, Catholic, whatever. They will put you in the boxes and they want you all apart. Keep in mind, you may not put yourself in that box.
You may be Catholic or Jewish or whatever it is, but you just see yourself as an American, a mom, a dad, whatever it is. You practice these things, this religion, but you don't identify as that exclusively. They want you in these boxes. That's why LGBTQIA1 plus 2, they keep adding all of these categories. The more categories for them, the better.
Because then they can put you in a category, whatever that is, LGBTQIA2 plus 1 spirit, whatever it may be. They're going to tell you how much the MAGA crowd and Republicans hate you in that category. So they need to expand the categories. But when the categories, they start to expand, start to look like they're causing a problem, i.e.
giving cross-sex hormones to kids in the developmental phase of their lives, they can't cover that because then the category blows up in their face. Watch this. This is CNN about the latest episode of trans violence. And there's a certain word that's left out in this. They start with an interview of one of the one of these young men who was their witness to check this out against the door.

Chapter 6: How does Kash Patel address the media's portrayal of the FBI?
Police say the shooker took his own life and apparently was targeting family members. The Patuxent police chief said one person in the stands tried to disarm the shooter and helped end the attack.
Interesting how they leave out all the details, man, and address. I mean, that's kind of important, is it not? I told you, folks, these people will cover up for any amount of criminality, whatever it is, as long as it advances their ideological ends. Just freaking tell people the truth, man. It's not hard. I mean, you're in the journalism field, right?
Your entire job is to give people a data set of facts and inputs so they can produce an educated output. If you screw up the inputs, the output's always going to be a mess. That's why nobody trusts institutions anymore. The media did this. Just tell the truth. This is the Dems' calling card. As long as something works for them, criminal or not, make it go away. You see it with the SAVE Act.
I'll get to that in a minute, too. Voter fraud is a crime. Cheating in elections is criminal. You cannot go and steal someone's ballot and vote for them. You would think this would be a bipartisan enterprise out there like, hey, we want free and fair elections. Why do people not trust institutions in the process?
Because the Democrats are vigorously fighting any measure of voter integrity at all, despite the fact you got to show a freaking ID to buy like an allergy medication in your local Walgreens. And you wonder why people don't trust institutions. You guys know this Nick Shirley, this entrepreneurial, young, independent journalist out there who busted open the Minnesota story?
Well, he's got another video out. This one about voter registrations. We've seen it. And folks, this is another one of those videos. You would think the Democrats and the media people would be all over this. Like, wow, this looks like a real problem. People aren't going to have faith in elections if what he's putting out in this video is even remotely true. Check this out.
Because she's 100 years old and she voted last election from here. I just want to make sure you're not 126 years old. And do you think it's possible like illegal migrants could be voting? Do you know where the ballots might have gone?

Chapter 7: What reforms were implemented during Kash Patel's tenure at the FBI?
like for 108 people, you know, that were registered here. When it comes to fraud, most people think about money. However, there is another potential massive fraud story taking place in America, one tied to the most consequential system in our country, which is our voting system. This has to do with everything about who runs the country and how elections are actually controlled.
And if we don't have voter integrity, What even are we? And there's one state that is the breeding ground for potential voting fraud, and that is California, where it can take up to one month to count all the votes, no voter ID, and millions of ballots are cast by mail.
Folks, one month, it's not an election, okay? That's a recipe and a witch's brew for fraud. A month to count ballots? Are you shitting me? That is not a uniform standard across the country. That's a California thing. They isolate you from the truth.
This is how they cover up all criminality, whether it's an Antifa operation, voter fraud, massive fraud inside a government which we saw in Minnesota and elsewhere. They cover it up through the gaslighting process. Lie about it, lie confidently, lie often, and isolate you from the truth.
They isolate you from the truth like you saw in the CNN clip by isolating out and leaving out key facts of the story so your inputs are wrong, so the output's going to be all screwed up. Again, that's why nobody trusts institutions anymore. You saw this massive fraud in Minnesota, and now they're freaking out because AI is going to be transformative when it comes to government.
Over the last year, I dealt with, we had a Doge guy who would come around and take a look, and it was one of the best things we ever did. There's been a culture change, thanks to this president and the efforts of Elon and the Doge, the government efficiency. That did not stop, by the way. There was a culture change in government. I saw it, and it is freaking the left out.
They are absolutely panicked about this because as these Doge guys went in and looked at this stuff from an outside perspective, they were like, why the hell are we doing this again? Nobody does it that way in the private sector. I think we cut out something like $300 million in expenses, which is not small, you know, it's not a change you'd find in the couch.
It's a good amount of money and there's more to come. Here's RFK talking about exactly this, how HHS, ladies and gentlemen, can you imagine the fraud in Medicaid and Medicare going on right now, given the Democrats... They don't want to do anything about it. The Democrats love the fraud because they need the welfare state.
The welfare state keeps people latched to the government, you know what, and keeps Democrat voters happy and satiated. Here's RFK talking with Theo Vaughn, talking about how they're going to implement AI within HHS. Folks, this is going to induce panic on the other side of the political aisle as Americans.

Chapter 8: How does the episode discuss the impact of AI on national security?
But you can talk forever. But you're going to have to sit up there and you guys are going to have to talk your way through this. And you're going to have to shut down everything over not wanting voter integrity. I'm sorry. This just like threatened to filibuster and it shuts everything down. It's total bullshit. That's why we can't get anything passed.
And the Democrats, as I've shown you in the super cuts, are going to bust the filibuster anyway. They've already said it. So the least we can do is make them sit down there on the floor and talk. Talk the whole time. Senator John Thune addressed this yesterday. He doesn't seem too keen on the idea of enacting it. Well, we'll see. There's no other way to get this thing passed, folks.
You want to save the country. I know that clip went viral, us on the show the other day talking about the SAVE Act, but we've got to do something. If we don't move on this SAVE Act, forget it. People are going to lose faith in institutions, and the republic revolves around fidelity to a common cause. The documents don't mean anything if people don't believe in them.
Here's Thune commenting on this yesterday and the opportunity cost of time on the floor. Check this out. Exercising or triggering a talking filibuster has ramifications, implications that I think everybody needs to be aware of.
So we will have those discussions, but that obviously ties the floor up for an indefinite amount of time with not only unlimited debate, but also unlimited amendments.
Okay. Listen, I... I don't see any other way. If we don't establish vigorous voter integrity measures, knowing everything that's going on in California and elsewhere, I don't see how to reestablish faith in institutions. I don't. There's no easy path out of this. You know, I talk about it often, you know, level 10 problems in government.
When I was there, how there's a shitty answer and a shittier answer. That is everything at the president's level. Everything. I get it. Yes, there's going to be unlimited amendments. The Democrats, when they, they'll inevitably at some point take control of the Senate and the House. Yes, they're going to get to pass stuff too.
The problem is in this game theory operation we're working here is the Democrats have already threatened to dump the filibuster. So they're going to get to do all their stuff. with 51 votes or 50 plus the vice president if they own the White House. And we're not. They've already said they're going to do it.
And their obstacles to doing it were two senators, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, who are no longer in office. The only one who even might object, and I'm not even sure he would when they put the squeeze on him, would be Fetterman. They're going to change the rules. We might as well beat them to the punch on this. By the way, you guys remember the Ministry of Truth?
