What led to Pam Bondi's firing as Attorney General?
All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. Man, didn't hear anything there. I was getting a little nervous. Thought like the technology broke down or something like that. Ladies and gentlemen, it is Good Friday for the Christians around the world, me being one of them. It's a good day before we start the show to just stand back, take a really deep breath, clear your mind, and thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the unimaginable sacrifice you made for all of us. I think it's really important that on a day like today, we all reflect a little bit on how much we think all of our lives are so traumatic and stressful. Sometimes nothing compared to that.
You haven't been crucified, whipped, had a crown of thorns on you, spit on, all of that. By people you could snap your fingers and just wipe out in a second and just choose not to. By the way, do you ever read, if you've ever, you want to take a moment Go to whatever AI generator you use or internet platform. It doesn't really matter. Have you guys ever done this? This is everybody's job for today. Jasmine, you too. This is the part of the crucifixion story that I think a lot of people don't tell you. Folks, do you have any idea how painful crucifixion was?
How did the DOJ's shakeup impact ongoing investigations?
Now, the Romans knew this. You may say, yeah, of course it's painful. I mean, forget the nailing to the cross, even if you were tied to it. The nailing's bad enough. But if you were tied to it, if you ever looked this up, how you die from crucifixion, I want you guys to do, and ladies, if you can, do a little test for me. If you work out and, you know, whatever, you don't have any medical limitations, go do like a dead hang from a bar and just like tilt your feet backwards, your feet backwards, like your legs, like you arc yourself in a direction towards your back. That's what crucifixion does. It pulls you out forward so that you can't properly breathe. So what you would have to do is after your shoulders dislocate, which is unbelievably painful.
You ever dislocate a shoulder? I did. Look at it. I'll show you. That's the zipper. You see the line? That's from when I dislocated my shoulder. I had to have open surgery to put that sucker back in the right way. You ever dislocate a shoulder? It's horrifying. Imagine both of them being dislocated.
What details emerged from the FBI raids in California?
You're arched forward. You can't breathe. Your entire... Chest is constricted. So you're suffocating slowly while your bones are dislocating from the joints. And it happens over a prolonged period of time. It's where the word excruciating comes from. It is probably the most painful form of death, not just because the acute pain, but the chronic pain that it doesn't happen quickly. And Jesus picked that way. No, he didn't pick it. He was omnipotent and omniscient. He knew exactly what was going to happen. Just think about that for a moment when you're taking into account the suffering in your life, how it pales in comparison to what he chose. Even if you don't believe he was God, he existed. There's almost zero doubt about that amongst people who are historians and others.
I have zero doubt and people of faith don't, but the historical record I think is pretty clear. Crucifixion is an absolutely brutal way to die. I tell you to do that test for a second because I have really bad shoulders, so I'll do these dead hangs. And a couple of times I put my feet behind me and I kind of like hold my toe on the ground if I can touch the ground to make sure I'm arched in the wrong direction. In like five seconds, you panic because you can't breathe.
Why are Democrats facing backlash from their own voters?
Imagine that for hours at a time. Good Friday. Just little things to think about. I didn't really intend. That's your homework today. I didn't intend on starting the show. Jasmine, you too, because it'll remind you of the great sacrifices of Jesus Christ. Look up crucifixion. Put in a chat thing what happens when you're crucified. We got a big show for you today. Listen, obviously, big shakeup at DOJ last night. Folks, we're going to cover it fairly. I'm not going to get into all the emotions of this and all the personalities and people who are screaming on one side and the other side.
