Yeah, man.

I mean, after the chop zone, this is like SOP for the, you know,

But, you know, I'm watching this clip here sitting here
00:36

00:40
Speaker B
Like, who's
00:41
Speaker A
who says to them, hey, I've got a great idea.
00:43
Speaker B
Let's piss off a bunch of people going to work early in the morning when everyone's in a great mood, of course.
00:48
Speaker A
Pre-coffee or whatever it may be.
00:49
Speaker B
And let's stop them in a green vest and tell them we're running a plate checks for ICE folks who are getting rapists and murderers out of the city.
00:56
Speaker A
Just to make sure we keep them in here.
00:58
Speaker B

Speaker B
Iwo Jima reenactment because we want rapists and murderers to stay.
01:10
Speaker A
Like, who did
01:11
Speaker B
folks, listen, I'm not here to give the left advice.
01:14
Speaker A
But fire these idiots and arrest them for political malpractice immediately.
01:19
Speaker B
You remind me of the people that were fighting for climate change that would just lie down and play dead in the middle of the freeway.
01:23
Speaker A
I mean, they're inches from getting their heads squished by a pickup truck.
01:27
Speaker B
Jesse, they got to bring what's her name, the the Greta lady in next.
01:30
Speaker A
The young girl, like bring her in, like that's the only, you know, in between flotillas
01:34
Speaker B
out there in Gaza, whatever, like bring her in and she's really popular too.
01:37
Speaker A
I mean,
01:38
Speaker B
what is going on with these people?
01:39
Speaker A
But, hey, listen, on a very serious note, though, I I I've played, uh,
01:42
Speaker B
I listened to you play that clip of President Trump.
01:44
Speaker A
You know, I was there very early on in March when this whole thing went down.
01:48
Speaker B
The president was totally transformative on this immigration issue.
01:53
Speaker A
He used Title 8 like no one had done it in American history before.
01:57
Speaker B
Quick, uh, quick story here.
02:00
Speaker A
We were it was me, Pam, Cash, and Todd, and we were meeting over in the JCC.
02:04
Speaker B
And they were like, listen, man, we're arresting a lot of these people in the country illegally.
02:07
Speaker A
We're trying to flip them, we're spending all this money on, you know, United States attorneys, proffer sessions, all this stuff.
02:12
Speaker B
And they come up later, they don't have anything.
02:14
Speaker A
Let's just give these people, I mean, again, I'm exaggerating a little bit, give them five minutes to flip.
02:19
Speaker B
Produce some information on a criminal enterprise.
02:22
Speaker A
If you don't,
02:23
Speaker B
get the fill in the blank out of the damn country.
02:27
Speaker A
The president was like,
02:28
Speaker B
I want them out.
02:29
Speaker A
Like, I am not wasting a year on a proffer session, feeding this guy in a US prison.
02:35
Speaker B
If he doesn't even belong in the damn country.
02:38
Speaker A
That you may say, well, that sounds pretty simple.
02:40
Speaker B
The president was the first one to think about that.
02:44
Speaker A
And that's why the crime rate is the lowest in US history.
02:46
Speaker B
Dan, they're not just feeding them. I mean, Gavin Newsom's giving illegal alien sex changes in prison.
02:50
Speaker A
I mean, this is it's just pouring money at these people.
02:52
Speaker B
Like it's like it's crazy.
02:53
Speaker A
Have you heard about this new move, Gnome's doing?
02:57
Speaker B
They're going to put every ICE agent gets a body cam.
03:00
Speaker A
I mean, I love that.
03:02
Speaker B
I'll bet they do too.
03:03
Speaker A
I made this argument on my show before I left to go over to the FBI.
03:07
Speaker B
That the body cam has been the, you know, the the best weapon for good cops out there.
03:13
Speaker A
And and you know, initially there's always a little bit of this, uh, you know, a big brother spying on me kind of thing with anyone.
03:18
Speaker B
You know, no one wants to be seen.
03:20
Speaker A
People don't like those mouse detectors in work.
03:22
Speaker B
Toggle the mouse, whatever.
03:23
Speaker A
However, this thing has saved a lot of good cops from.
03:26
Speaker B
I got friends up in New York in the NYPD still, they have that civilian complaint review board.
03:30
Speaker A
In the past, people used to say, he said this or he called me that.
03:34
Speaker B
Now you just go right to the video, boom, done, over.
03:36
Speaker A
It's more protection for the police than I think it is for the, uh, for the population.
03:40
Speaker B
So I'm
03:41
Speaker A
Yeah, I think it's a great move.
03:42
Speaker B
They walked right into that one.
03:43
Speaker A
Uh, that will light them up, uh, in in more ways than one.
03:47
Speaker B
Dan Bongino.

Speaker A
Uh, great to have you back.
03:50
