Chapter 1: What tactics do grifters use to undermine political movements?
All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show.
Yeah, so I got a show for you today, folks. I promise you're going to love this one. We'll see. But right out of the chute, did you see what happened last night? The Democrat obstructionists in the Senate who gave you a double-barreled middle finger and told you to sit on a line in Atlanta Airport for four hours at TSA for 40-plus days.
Last night, magically, they had one of these come-to-Jesus moments. What happened? What happened? Why did the Senate last night, did you miss it? Why did the Senate decide to open up the spigot, the Democrats in the Senate, to getting DHS and TSA funded. Be like, well, Dan, you're probably thinking, they saw the suffering. Justin, they saw the suffering, Justin.
Jasmine, they saw the suffering at the airport. The empathetic coexist. Everyone should unite and be tolerant Democrats. They saw your suffering. They were crying.
Chapter 2: How did Trump checkmate the EU in recent negotiations?
They were crying over it, the Democrats. They saw it. And they said, we've got to help the people. Ah, bullshit. That's not what happened at all. What happened is Donald Trump was going to come to the rescue again. An executive order about funding TSA popped. He was going to get them funded on some emergency basis so that the airports don't go boom.
And then the Democrats realized they would take a political loss. In other words, kick me in the jib. They were going to get kicked right in the gonadal regions by Donald Trump and look like fools as Donald Trump opened up the TSA spigot, got them paid so he can go back to work. And the Democrats just didn't want to take a political loss. You may say, but they were fighting for the people, man.
Actually, they were fighting for open borders. They said, we're not funding THS until you open up the border. Basically, that was their stance on this. And you may say, well, surely they got some reforms. 42 days you had to suffer at an airport because the Democrats, surely they busted their ass and got some open border reforms they love. No, no, they got nothing. They got nothing.
Chapter 3: What revelations were made about Ukraine's involvement in U.S. politics?
They got nothing of substance they asked for. There was some concessions, Republicans or anybody, they got nothing. So there's your morning coffee for you on a Friday. But folks, I got a series of videos coming up for you. About three in a row to open the show. I... Believe me, it repulses me to continue to have to do this.
But if we don't save our movement from the hidden knowledge, air quotes, grifters out there, there's not going to be a movement left. This is not tough. No one's asking us to go into combat and fight in the Battle of the Bulge. This is not hard work. This is just us presenting a series of different ideas as to where our party should go. Don't let anyone tell you, oh, there's civil war.
It's not civil war. It's not a war at all. It's just a battle of ideas. You got me and a group of others on this side and others on the other side. This is necessary. I'll show you these videos in a minute. If this doesn't prove the point to you that you're being taken advantage of, if you're falling for this stuff, nothing ever will.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Pentagon's plans for Iran?
So this may be my last shot at this. This one is the most telltale sign. Hey, think about this. In 2006, $20,000 equaled roughly 33 ounces of gold at the spot price. At today's prices, those 33 ounces would be worth over $150,000. Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals. That's why I buy my gold and have many times from Birch Gold Group, B-I-R-C-H.
It's a crucial part of my balanced financial strategy. It gives me peace of mind during volatility and all the events that could happen in the U.S. economy moving forward. It's my way of financial insurance. See if holding gold in a tax shelter retirement account is right for you too. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
Just text my last name, Bongino, B-O-N-G-I-N-O, to the number 989898, and you'll receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, me included, let Birch Gold help you diversify with gold. Now that's peace of mind. Text Bongino to 989898.
Again, text my last name, Bongino, to the number 989898. Message and data rates apply.
Chapter 5: What role do emotional appeals play in political messaging?
All right, fellas, let's go. All right, we're going to have to dig deep here a minute. But this is one of those moments we all need sometimes. There's nothing wrong with it, folks. We don't buy into the left-wing created narratives that the movement's in a civil war. Everybody's at each other's throats. This is all bullshit. That's leftist fairytale thinking.
That's the leftist versions of Aesop's fables. That's not what's happening right now. What's happening is no different than what happens every four years during a presidential election. Various candidates within the Republican Party go at each other, we come out, we coalesce, we win an election. That's just the way it's always worked. I've been through this before, so have you.
Do you remember how hostile the DeSantis-Trump primary was? Do you remember how hostile the Trump initial 2016 primary was? I mean, this is nothing new. You got to police up your movement sometimes. It's no big deal. Do it with a smile.
Chapter 6: How does the concept of hidden knowledge impact public perception?
The truth matters. The process matters. Folks, why we are such a glorious republic and why we're so different than anyone else. We just are. We are the richest country in the history of sentient beings anywhere in the known cosmos. That's a fact. And you live here right now.
In the freest place, despite all of our shortcomings, in the history of humankind, that's not only the freest, but is also the richest and is also the most powerful. There's nothing to complain about. When you fight for the place, we're going to do it with a smile, even if the place is a place within the place, which is our movement. This is, we're different because of process.
We don't allow star chambers. We don't allow that, you know, in our court system to be hijacked by charlatans. We give even the worst perps, the worst perpetrators, the serial murderers, the rapists, the terrorists. We even give them process. Why? Because we are a society based in truth and reason and a process to get to truth. The left doesn't want that. The left respects only chaos.
It is a tool for them because they understand in the cloud of leftist-induced chaos, whether through messaging or actual street chaos, human beings get lost and they just want sanity and stability back.
Chapter 7: What is the significance of citizen journalism in exposing fraud?
They just want to get back to normal. They want a regression to the mean. And if the only source of that is some charismatic figure that comes out screaming how this new form of national socialism or whatever is going to take us back to normal, people will follow in times of great stress and chaos.
What's made us great is this country has a process that avoids unending chaos and the destruction of the republic. Be wary, folks, of people telling you a story, not the story. People who make bold assertions devoid of evidence versus people who produce bevies of evidence and keep their assumptions in the system to let the process play out. There's a difference, man.
There's a war on the objective truth going on. The left has done this for years. It's the whole basis of their war on men versus women. What's a woman thing? That is an objective truth. There's a difference between men and women. When you get into this critical theory stuff and the leftists with their, there's no objective truth.
It's just a white male patriarchy and knowledge is just a construct of power. They have the power and their line was trust nothing. That's what they want. They want chaos. Trust nothing, trust nothing, trust nothing. You see people sneaking in our tent, trying this same trick now.
Chapter 8: What lessons can be learned from the current political climate?
Trust nothing. Trust no one. It's all chaos. Everyone's lying to you. Even people you've trusted forever, who've been with you through all the fights, don't trust them either. But trust me, because I have this hidden knowledge. Folks, the people who have this hidden knowledge, by the way, they always tell you a story, not the story.
And if you notice the hallmark of all their stories, they're fascinating. And I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way. They're fascinating. There are endless pseudo connections of disparate facts. A Lego here, a Lego there. We showed you in that video. They never actually connect the Legos, but you do because they're charismatic delivery systems.
Just because they tell you a fantastic story doesn't mean any of it's actually true. Folks, the process is what makes us different. The process is what makes us different. Once we invert the process and everyone is guilty until proven innocent, this is nothing more than a thugocracy. I've warned you about this many times. It's starting to seep in.
I want to show you what I mean by this hidden knowledge grift. How, again, people like me and others who go and swear in are forced to produce court-ready material and facts. We're not here to produce bold opinions on the other side. You're there to produce bold facts. That's the way our process works to prevent innocent people from being targeted by a weaponized government.
Not like that's happened before. using Legos that never connect. They always claim, however, to have this hidden knowledge that they never actually get to. They never actually tell you what it is. And people keep falling for it. Hat tip, is this a milk bar TV? Let me show you what I mean. I don't want to get overly with the top of any one person, really. I've had enough of the whole thing.
But take a look at this compilation from Milk Bar TV here of Candace Owens on the Charlie Kirk investigation. Whereas we had to produce facts, her producing tomorrow's episode, check this out.
Close to something, keep going. And we are definitively getting closer to what took place on that day. And we are getting closer. I think we're close. We are definitively getting closer. We're getting close. We're getting low. Very close. We're inching ever closer. We are now, I believe, extremely close to solving this thing.
As I get inch closer and closer to discovering the truth, I've got a feeling about that, we're close. We're getting closer to something and that something is pretty big. I just sense that we're getting close. I sense that we are getting very close and we are getting closer, getting very close to something. We're getting closer because we are getting close. We are definitely getting closer.
Very close. We are very close. We are close. We are dangerously close to something. We are dead close to something. And I think every day we are inching closer. Who killed Charlie Kirk? You know we're getting close. We're inching ever closer. We are inching closer. A little closer to solving the Charlie Kirk murder. And I'm getting very close. And we are getting very close.
