Dan Bongino’s First Show Back Breaks Records !Massive A… — Transcript

Jim.

We're like two minutes into the show. Jim's already got his. Unbelievable. Jim's already got his volume up on the show.

Jim, get back in here. Come on, Jim.

Get back, you know, he knows this is part of the show, of course, every it's all if you are in the studio, anyone right now, you're fair game. Everybody knows that.

Man, it is good to see you guys and ladies out there. It's been a crazy year.

I really, really miss you.

By the way, got a small announcement.

Jim, what is it? We had a guest today. Who was it again?

President President Donald J. Trump, the most transformative president of our lifetime, or frankly any other, dealing with a multitude of threats and all this stuff, turned the country around like that, is going to join us at 11:30 a.m. Eastern time.

Sorry guys, I couldn't tell you right away. I'd love to, but um, I wanted to, you know, I wanted a few surprises for opening day here.

And listen, before we get started for the relaunch of The Dan Bongino Show, studio looks pretty much the same since I left. This is the new studio, of course. Uh, a couple thank yous, guys. One, uh, first to my wife Paula for, uh, one, I don't know, I can't even get choked up at the beginning of the show. All right, I'm going to turn in my man card immediately, but. Guys, I'm telling you right now, like this last year has been a lot. It's been a lot, it's been the honor of my lifetime. We loved it, my wife and I. The experience was incredible, but, you know, it's like anything else, and I say this with the president too, it's an amazing strain on his family and everyone else's, it's not unique to anyone, but for Paula to have gone through that with me, and then to relaunch the show, she has been working nonstop to get this seamlessly relaunched.

Forget it, nothing happens without her, period. She is, uh, if I'm the Godfather, or someone called me the Podfather. She's the Podmother.

So, thank you, and she's sitting right there looking lovely as ever.

And to my crew and Jasmine, Jasmine who manages this operation, uh, I can't do it without you guys, G, Jim, Andy, uh, Justin. Now, we have all we have new members coming in, uh, it's just like, it's the most amazing experience with these guys to work with them, so thank you all so much, uh, for launching.

You guys are the best, and Teresa's out there too, causing trouble as always, probably on the phone right now, like cutting some deal or something like that. Uh, so thank you all.

Now, guys, this is a show, so the media people, I know you're watching because you can't stay away.

You've written endless stories about me, my shoulder got hurt in a grappling session, all that.

I know, I know you can't stay away, so I know you're here, and I'm going to say, I mean this, welcome.

I don't dislike you guys, I just find it fascinating that I'm so fascinating to you all. I don't know what's so interesting about me, but you clearly find it interesting because you write about me all the time.

So, in order to get you prepped for what the show's going to look like on relaunch, Jim, what is this thing called?

I'm about to read, do you remember?

It's an ad.

It is an ad, an advertisement, because the media always seems shocked by this.

They're always meanwhile, they run ads in their newspaper, but they're unfamiliar.

This is called an advertisement. This is an ad supported show.

They're always stunned by this.

When I was leaving, like, oh my gosh, he supports companies in his in his show.

Who actually, yes.

That's how the business works, you dipshits.

Did you guys forget this?

So, this is called an ad.

And we have two of them, that's how we keep the show free, because amazing companies like to work with the show and want to sell their product.

It's also called capitalism, you freaks.

So, here we go, our first two ads.

Companies been with me from the beginning.

Brickhouse Nutrition, thank you guys for coming back, we love you guys.

These guys have been with me since the beginning of the show, my first sponsor, Miles and his team in Texas have been helping people get ready and stay healthy, me included, for over a decade, if you think I look good or think I look bad, whatever, it's all because of Brickhouse, they have done amazing work for me, I use all their supplements.

Listen.

I worked for you, it was the honor of a lifetime to work for you and this president and with Kash Patel, who's an amazing FBI director.

So, I feel an obligation to tell you what your money paid for.

And again, if you like it, you like it, and if you don't, that's fine too, but, you know, listen, supporters, detractors, lovers, haters, you're all welcome here.

Like I said, blow up the chat, I'm happy to have you here, that's not a downside to me at all.

So, we put together a little B-roll, not we, I mean, I had nothing to do with it, the team put this together.

But a couple of photos, uh, that was the pipe, I look really like, look at me, my arms, you could see the arthritis in my arms.

Leave it to me to make a joke about myself, but it's true.

This was when, uh, we, uh, uh, made an arrest in the suspect in the, uh, pipe bomb case.

Judge Janine there, love Judge Janine, she's the best.

There's, uh, the arrested sign right there.

There's us walking off the stage.

So, that was an interesting day for me.

That also, unbelievably, happened to be my birthday, same day.

Which, uh, I totally forgot about.

I mean, I think I was reminded by the AG, who was like, hey, happy birthday.

I was like, what?

It is my birthday.

Speak loud, am I not talking?

Is the chat like blowing up?

Sorry.

All right, so give me some new pictures here.

These guys put the, well, this one, I'll get into that in a second.

Where that picture's from, but.

Um, I look pretty somber there for a reason.

Um, there also, I'll explain that one in a minute as well.

So, go through that.

Uh, there was the greatest mayor in New York City's history, a guy I modeled my law enforcement approach at the FBI after. This was at, um, uh, ceremony up in New York for 9/11. And we were chatting beforehand. Uh, I don't remember where that one was from, but I look really mean in that one as well.

Why do I always have like RBF going on, you know?

Like, I'm always, I'm I promise I'm like a really happy guy.

But I always look so mad, especially in that picture.

All right, give me we got another one there.

That's, oh, there you go, that was at Capitol Hill.

Going in for some, uh, testimony on stuff.

Uh, that was, uh, that was Charlie's, uh, memorial in Arizona.

Oh, this one, this one went viral.

This was me walking out.

And this this lovely young lady had given me a Jesus statue. And, uh, she was she her mom was said, hey, Dan. She's a big supporter. And.

I remember that one.

That one went nuclear on social media.

So, to, uh, that young lady, uh, thank you for bringing a little bit of, uh, Jesus and warmth back into my life when it was a really somber ceremony.

So, we appreciate it.

Folks, I I can't do this show today without a couple of remembrances as well.

Of folks we lost, obviously, Charlie being first.

Charlie was a great friend of mine, I'm I'm not going to be, you know, publishing any texts or communications with Charlie or anything like that, it's just I'm it's just we're not doing it.

Um, Charlie was a great friend, we used to discuss everything, um, you know, the movement, the audience, shows, you see this picture of, uh, me and him and Charlie.

I I I miss him like you all did.

And I obviously haven't been in the FBI and investigating the case at the time.

It was, uh, I don't see the picture up there.

Is it what I want to I want to look at that one for a second.

Did you guys have it?

Because that one.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I just had to see it on on the screen.

But that was my guy there.

And, um, he's a good man, I miss that hair. We love you, Charlie, Charlie was the bridge, man.

He was.

It's a live show, obviously, and we had a, you know, good kind of, uh, impression this was going to happen.

They just don't want me to talk, they are so terrified of this show coming back.

That, uh, you know, they were going to do anything to try to stop us.

So, you know, why did I I take the job?

This is a question I I get all the time.

Well, you know, why take the job?

You know, we all need to test ourselves sometimes, all of us.

And me included, I never wanted to be just content or happy, if you don't stress yourself, you don't scar your skin once in a while, you're never going to grow back and build those collagen fibers and build back a tough scar, present you know, prevent yourself from getting cut again.

So, I wanted to test myself, and I wanted the opportunity to work for what I knew was going to be the most transformative administration.

Even even better than 45, because I knew the president from his first administration had learned a ton.

And that 47, I even said it to you guys, was going to come back, uh, with a vengeance, and was going to be, um, just 10X what it was the first time around.

So, I wanted to be a part of it, so we all have to test ourselves, and this was unquestionably a test.

So, in DC, when you get.

Selected and confirmed, or just picked for one of these principal or deputy positions.

Everything you do is a level 10 decision at that point, because all the easy decisions, the one through fives and even the fives through nines, have already been handled by managers or agents or people beneath you, or people throughout the federal bureaucracy.

Level 10 decisions, I was saying before we got, uh, uh, attacked there.

The, well, not physically attacked, I mean, obviously, everybody's okay.

You have shit decisions and shittier decisions.

That's what level 10 decisions are.

And trying to figure out what do you are you getting me live on your phone there?

Yours?

Yeah, you are, okay, good.

So, trying to figure out what the shittier decision is, if your batting average is 500, you're a rock star in DC, because they're not easy.

If they're easy, like I said, everyone else would have figured them out.

So, a friend of mine, after having made quite a few of these level 10 decisions in conjunction with Kash, um, a friend of mine, who's had a leadership position in government elsewhere.

Had sent me over this video of, uh, SEC college football coach, I'm a I'm an Auburn fan, as you know, but however, Jim, this is a pretty darn good clip.

Uh, this is Kirby Smart talking about leadership, and I want to hit these three points because I experience this firsthand.

Check this out.

You can't ignore the cost of leadership.

Great leaders are willing to accept those costs.

And I want to share quickly three of those things, three of the costs that are plastered on my desk right behind it that kind of caught me between the eyes last week.

Number one, you will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about.

Number two, you will be disliked despite your best attempts to do the best for the most.

And number three, you will be misunderstood and won't always have the opportunity to defend yourself.

Those are three costs that come from being a great leader.

Now, that is probably the best, what is that, 30 seconds?

I don't know, on leadership I've ever seen, and having, you know, been through the, uh, the, uh, the grind last year in DC.

I can see it, you are going to have to make tough decisions.

I just said to you without beating this thing to death, everything's level 10, shit or shittier, find out which one is the shittier decision and avoid it.

That's the best you can do.

There are no easy decisions left, period.

There is no way, you saw it with all the stuff, the Epstein case, the other things we had to deal with, there is no decision you're going to make that is going to make everybody happy.

And you have to deal with it, if you're there to be liked, you're in the wrong job, get out right away.

Third, and this is probably the most important takeaway.

You're going to be misunderstood, you're going to have a bunch of 18-year-old, you know, Washington Post writers with no experience in the real world at all, commenting on your decisions you made with no background whatsoever as to why you made them.

I get it, I mean, it's understandable, they're not read in on these programs.

But I'll address this with President Trump later, how he's making decisions on Greenland and the Don Roe doctrine, based on a president's daily brief he gets every day, that these media people have no idea, they don't even know what the freaking threats are, like, oh, that's a crazy decision, how do you know?

I don't know, I guess, I read it in a Charlie Brown encyclopedia.

You don't know shit.

You don't know anything.

Just be honest that you don't know.

You can have an opinion on it.

I'm not telling you.

I'm not telling you media people not to have an opinion.

Have an opinion, great, it's a constitutional republic.

But just be honest that you don't know shit.

And he does.

He's read in on all this stuff.

So, you're going to be misunderstood because there are things even now, obviously, I'm not going to be able to talk about.

There are ongoing cases and other things, and you guys didn't pay me, the taxpayer, to go in there and come out here and try to be some like, you know, superhero.

You paid me to do the right thing, and the right thing involves keeping custody over.

I don't see anything on the screen up there, by the way.

I don't.

It's a black.

Check this.

Take a look.

Because I can't read it without you guys.

Hold on.

Yeah.

Well.

We're going to do it quick.

Yeah.

There we go.

Thank you.

Very good.

Now I see it.

So, here's a little montage we put together, some headlines, this was just the past year at the Bureau while we were busy cleaning up the place.

So, first, you see in the upper left-hand corner, we obviously had that big case against BLM.

Uh, that was, uh, one of the, you know, one of the cases we got early on in my tenure, we've been working on for a while.

You see this ABC News headline, I want to thank, uh, you know, Kash and the president for this one, he worked closely with the White House.

Uh, Kash with the Fentanyl crisis, he got the, uh, the precursors listed on a trip over to China, it was great work by him.

Wait, slow down, slow down, go over to the thing corner.

Let me go through these things a couple more time.

Um, the drone, the listen, drones are a huge, ever-present national security problem.

The technology is evolving by the day.

Not by the week, some of the life cycle stuff on these drones is as little as two weeks before countermeasures and other things are developed.

So, we pushed hard on the on drone mitigation, we got some money, we launched the FBI's first drone threat training center at, uh, Redstone, down in Alabama.

Uh, you can see right there in just the news, there's a grand conspiracy probe going on on weaponization, opening doors for a special prosecutor.

Uh, Patel vows no hall passes in explosive Arctic Frost investigation.

I remember that.

We'll be talking about a lot of this stuff within reason, some of the stuff I can get into, some I can't.

Uh, Kash had had a big transparency initiative, turned over tons, I think 30,000 plus documents over to Congress.

Uh, Kash Patel fires FBI agents in anti-Trump Arctic Frost inquiry.

This case got lost in the in the mix a bit, but, uh, I don't even think, you know, you guys who were following me a little bit more intensely, I wasn't like communicating with the show staff, but.

Uh, this $15 billion Bitcoin scam we worked on, that was a that was a huge case, but so much was going on at the time.

You know, it all kind of got lost in the mix.

The Kensington drug market in Philly, uh, we ripped that up.

Uh, had to be the Philly office there, tore that thing to pieces, man.

That thing had been going on forever.

So, you Philly listeners, you know the deal there.

So, I was committed early on to getting rid of these open air drug markets.

Yeah, stop right there.

Uh, the the Comey case, you obviously know about, the, you know, listen, the judge.

That just, uh, really hurt us.

But that case.

Uh, was ours, Operation Chalkline, was one out of Milwaukee, gang bust.

Uh, shifted agents to the immigration crackdown, pursuing to President Trump's leadership on that issue, got to basically zero illegal migrants admitted into the country over multiple months.

Again, this is just the past year.

Uh, Kash reassigned 1500 employees outside of DC area, basically getting a lot of people out of headquarters and back into the field to go get bad guys, violent criminals off the streets.

Even a little pace you're going down.

Uh, the Antifa cell members in the Prairie Land shooting, we, uh, we indicted and locked up, I think there were 19 of them or something like that.

That was another so much happened, I know a lot of this gets lost, but that was another tragedy, I remember sitting in the office with that.

764, be careful what your kids are doing online, it's this really violent group that exploits kids.

We have been resolutely targeted on locking them up through Operation Restoring Justice and others.

We did that.

The New Orleans mayor, Latoya Cantrell, so we had a lot of public corruption cases going on.

Uh, well, Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff indicted.

We had, of course, the another six most wanted out of the 10, four while I was there, so I can't take credit for the last two.

Uh, Ryan Wedding and the other, uh, individual Kash brought back from Mexico.

We had former aid to New York governor charged, being an agent of the Chinese government.

The historic crime crackdown.

We had a homicide rate, the lowest in US history, the percentage dropped.

Grabbed grabbed Maduro with our amazing Secretary of War.

Of course, everybody at the New York Times and all of them were upset.

We had five, uh, the, of course, the pipe bomb suspect, everyone's innocent till proven guilty.

You get the point on that.

John Bolton.

So, all right, uh, enough is that.

And the dismantled.

Oh, wait, here, wait, hold on.

One more, one more.

The, uh, the FBI dismantles elite public corruption squad.

The New York Times and the Washington Post, Jim, can't figure out if we've done too much or too little.

Unease at FBI intensifies as Patel outs top officials.

And meanwhile, you had that that that D-bag Aaron Blake, hitting us on Twitter.

You believe this guy, didn't did you see, did you miss your own coverage on this, you complete loser?

All right, enough of that, you know, again, I don't want to make this a whole show about.

Here's what happened over the last year, we got enough going on.

Uh, but Peter Schweizer, who is a an amazing author, I think he has a book out now.

He put up a tweet at the time because I I guess like me, he's a data guy, I'm a data guy, I believe in numbers, just like the president.

Results matter, like, show us the numbers, man.

And he put out this tweet, which I thought was pretty cool, and I appreciate it.

He's a lot of people here, who are here, have been supporters of mine.

I deeply appreciate it.

And I love you guys, but that wasn't always the case.

There were people who just waited for me to get off the air, and they were, you know, they were just dying to take a pot shot the first day we were on the job.

So, here are the four groups of people I want to, uh, address, and I want to clear up some stuff with.

First, to our supporters.

Um, I really can't thank you enough.

Good cases and good police work takes time.

Listen, I I wish it didn't.

But good cases, good police work and personnel changes take time.

You can do all these things the wrong way, or you can do them the right way.

But the right way to do them is never going to be the quick way.

I used to say to everyone at the Bureau, you know, fast is smooth, smooth is fast.

But good cases take time, uh, we are not the war department.

We can't just give an order and have something enacted immediately, there's a process.

There are United States attorneys you have to work with.

The Justice Department, when I was there, was dealing with a lot of US attorneys who were legacy Biden, even Obama holdovers, who just didn't want to do their job.

So, AG Bondi gave him gave him the boot and said, get out.

And, you know, Todd and them from the Dag, the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Todd Blanche.

They said, you got to go, you don't want to do your job, get out of here.

You're dealing with process, you're dealing with a lot of some judges who were not, you know, hurt us in a lot of these cases as well.

It's not an excuse for anything, it's just an explanation.

So, the supporters who understood that, that this stuff takes time and judged us on the record, I really appreciate that.

You guys and ladies have been with me from the beginning, I read a lot of your stuff, and I owe you huge, man.

I really appreciate me, uh, you know, going in there and having that bedrock of support in the outside.

You know, I used to say on the show before I left, everything in this business, in the opinion business, is sound bites and snapshots.

It's headlines and sound bites.

It's all it is, that's what people remember, clipping is the way people a lot of people get recognition online, a lot of people watch the whole show, some people don't.

Sound bites and snapshots matter.

It's the exact opposite in federal law enforcement.

It is not sound bites and snapshots.

It is a very slow, methodical process, getting subpoenas, doing the work, doing the investigative work, um, getting the, uh, the data aggregated to make a case that can pass judicial muster and that probable cause hurdle.

So, it's the exact opposite.

So, big thank you to our supporters, love you guys, you're the best.

Uh, that's the first group of people, and, uh, and the best of this lot.

Second.

You know, to the libs and their media pals.

You know, liberals out there, you know, you guys, you've always hated me, the feelings probably mutual.

I don't like you guys either.

You know, I would like to think when I went in there, I had a, uh, you know, an open mind, I didn't go in there with any partisan intent.

And the people we arrested, where we crushed the crime rate in largely liberal cities, we didn't do it to score political points, no one's voting for anyone I support in these liberal cities anyway, we did it because the job matters.

So, uh, liberals and their media pals.

You can get your lips and just pucker them up and plant a big wet one on my ass.

Um, because you you guys would just rather see people dead.

What are you laughing at, Jim?

This is just we're not even like 40 minutes in.

Jim's already like.

I I missed this guy, it's been a long time.

Yeah, you can pucker up, okay?

Um, I'd show it to you, but no one wants to see that on the live, we may crash the live stream again, this is may this may be what the DDoS attack was all about, to prevent me from.

But you guys would rather see people dead.

You I, you know, I'm going to talk to President Trump about this in about, uh, a little less than an hour when he comes on the show.

But it's incredible at the homicide rate.

Jim, what happens in a homicide?

What happens to people?

Somebody died.

Somebody dies.

They're freaking dead.

It's amazing like a lot of people aren't dead because the homicide rate's the lowest it's been in modern US history.

People we want locked up.

I just showed you the montage, Chalkline, the Kensington drug market.

All this stuff, the illegal immigration push, title aiding violent criminals, using title eight, excuse me, to get them out of the country.

And then the liberals are complaining.

I don't know.

What the hell happened?

How the hell.

What?

How did this happen?

When 0.5% of the population commits 50 to 70% of the violent crime, and they've most of them have been arrested between 8 and 12 times before.

That's what the data shows.

And Jim.

Stunner.

When you go out and you lock these violent animals up, they can't kill people because they're in jail.

Well, they could kill people in jail, but not on the street.

When you deport them, they can kill people, but not here.

I don't want them killing anyone, but I don't want them killing US citizens.

I work for the United States government.

Liberals and me, I don't know, man.

I don't know, what the hell happened?

Crime rate, violent crime rate, homicide rate plunged by 20%.

What the hell happened?

And the media, totally divorced from reality.

These people would rather see you dead than for a second acknowledge that this FBI, not the I'm not talking about the prior ones, that these people that we had anything to do with it at all.

They don't give a shit.

All they want to do is write their damn headline.

We don't know what happened.

Must have been a statistical anomaly.

Yeah.

Sure.

Sure, dipshits.

Keep it going.

So, that.

We're so back, aren't we?

Already.

I can tell.

I'm feel I'm so in a mood today.

You have no idea.

This is like bottled up pent up energy.

For the past year.

So, supporters, libs and their media pals.

We don't like each other.

Keep writing your stories.

I'm sure you'll have a story about tomorrow, you always do.

You already you already wrote the headline.

I can already see it.

So, good for you.

Knock yourselves out.

Uh, I know we're good clickbait for you, but as long as you show up, it's all that matters to me.

Um, the third group of people I want to address are, uh, are the grifters out there who mistakenly thought I wasn't coming back.

Now, I am back.

Uh, the Podfather is back.

And I'm here to take back this movement.

This movement's been hijacked by a small group of, uh, dipshits and bums and losers, who are nothing but doomers under the frame of accountability.

I'm all about accountability.

There was I just showed you what we did or what we didn't.

Did I not?

I'm not sitting here going, hey, trust me, bro.

I showed you.

Well, if you like it.

Great.

If you don't, that is absolutely your constitutional right, you paid for it to go, that sucked, I would have done something different.

Okay, but you didn't.

You didn't do anything different.

I'm not sure if you volunteered to serve or not, but you didn't.

You sat in the front row with your popcorn, ankle biting, throwing this popcorn at the ring, at two guys in there, sparring away, fighting for this country, while you did shit.

You just talked about it.

So, you didn't do anything.

Now, I'm back on the air, I'm not going to take on every single thing in one day in one show.

But I'm telling you right now, your bullshit, I'm done with it.

The grifter bums, all you guys are are a class of doomers.

Everything sucks all the time.

You would have done it different.

You didn't do shit.

You did nothing.

You didn't volunteer, you didn't ask, you didn't give up your show to do.

You did nothing.

All you did was bullshit people and say, nothing's happening.

And then when we tell you, oh, it just happened, you move on to something else, you say it's not going to happen, and when that happens, you move on to something else.

Totally full of shit.

Thank you.

Here's some numbers.

This was from an epic times.

Nothing's happening.

35% increase in espionage arrests, that's not nothing, you you don't have to like it, but it's not nothing, okay?

78% increase in China-related espionage, again, not nothing, 112% increase in agent applications.

20% drop in nationwide murder rate.

Again, you don't have to like it.

You could say I would have done 21.

Yeah, but you didn't.

What's that?

Thank you.

G, he's like, I don't like murders.

I'm all for this.

Me either.

20% increase in FBI arrests related to 764 child exploitation network.

640 individuals disrupted from conducting terror attacks.

You don't have to like it, bro.

You don't have to like any of it.

But don't say it's nothing.

A lot of people put a lot of hard work into it from this administration at the top on down.

You want to critique it, say you would have done better, step up.

Step up.

Go ahead.

They got openings, you go try it.

See what you're dealing with.

The last group of people I want to address here is the leakers.

Listen, when we got into the FBI, Kash and I.

We found there were two FBI's.

I think on Nicole Parker actually has an interesting book about this.

She was an agent, uh, a while back.

And, uh, Nicole Parker had an interesting take on this, two FBI's, and she's not wrong.

There was a completely weaponized portion of the.

There was a completely weaponized portion of the FBI.

That just could not get their heads out of their asses.

They could not get out of this old model of like political targeting first, law enforcement second.

And then there was another group of people, you know, door kickers, agents out in Omaha and elsewhere, who they didn't have anything to do with any of this shit.

Matter of fact, you know, if you were doing an inspection, you read some of their emails, a lot of them were pissed off about this whole thing.

These were the guys going out there, you know, locking up these VCAT case offenders, violent crimes against children, you know, locking up white collar folks.

Locking up, you know, you using UFAP warrants to go get violent, it's unlawful flight against prosecution, uh, you know, use these warrants to go get bad guys off the street.

The problem was finding out who was part of each group.

We were outsiders, both Kash and I.

That's not a mystery.

We were outsiders.

The benefit to being an outsider is we had a fresh set of eyeballs when it came to when it came to things like Doge and everything else.

And work, I saw Elon yesterday.

Dan Scavino's wedding.

I thanked him for it.

We had a Doge guy over there as well.

We came in there with a fresh set of eyes, and it was great.

But folks, there was a downside.

The downside was we did not know every single player in the business.

And who was what, no one advertises, hey, I'm part of the weaponized old FBI.

So, we had to figure that out.

Not an excuse.

Just an explanation.

That's all.

I worked for you and you deserve to hear what happened.

So, this fourth group of people, the leakers in the Bureau, some who've left, some who were likely fired and others.

You guys destroyed the place and you tried to destroy us too.

But I bet you thought I'd never be back either.

So, now, when you leak with your little tiny voice in the New York Times and your 10 or 15 views.

We have millions of people.

This show is so big, they tried to take us offline just 15, 20 minutes ago, it's the biggest live stream in the world, and one of the biggest conservative podcasts in the entire world.

Now we're back.

And now we get to fight back, because I'm not going to let you bullshit people anymore about what was going on.

Upset about everything, some of the stuff that came out, but social media, these guys were hilarious.

These guys were absolutely hilarious, social media is how people consume content.

Walter Cronkite and Brokaw aren't around on the air anymore.

They've been like.

Man.

Dan and Kash.
