Speaker 1 It is an action-packed Newsday. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
We have a big week in store here. There are a lot of stories that are bubbling up, and we are going to be

Speaker 1 covering them here exclusively on the program. The first of which is an email.
An email heard around the world. A singular email that was sent last week.

Speaker 1 And the email was to ask every federal worker: so what do you do here? And what have you gotten done?

Speaker 1 Email was sent, and it says, Quote, please reply. This is sent to every federal worker.

Speaker 1 Please reply to this email with approximately five bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager. Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments.

Speaker 1 Deadline to reply is Monday at 1159 Eastern Standard Time. As soon as this email was sent, federal workers started to scream and say, what do you mean I have to tell you what I do? This is harassment.

Speaker 1 This is taunting. This is

Speaker 1 unfair. No one has ever asked a federal worker, what do you do? Now, we do this every single week at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.

Speaker 1 What do you do here? Tell us your progress report. In fact, taking a page out of Elon, we're going to do this now every single week, methodically.
List of five things you got done.

Speaker 1 Federal workers are now clamoring, saying that this violates union rules. I'm sorry, guys, this is beyond laughable.
This is repulsive.

Speaker 1 These people have jobs that we pay for, and they can't respond to an email asking them, just list five things you got done here.

Speaker 1 And the answer, of course, is they don't do anything of value. They show up,

Speaker 1 get a cup of coffee, reshuffle some papers, go into a conference room, and they're out the door by 3:30 or 4 o'clock.

Speaker 1 They operate as, not them personally, but they operate as worthless parasites on the American taxpayer.

Speaker 1 Meanwhile, every single one of you in the audience here, whether you are a doctor or a lawyer, an engineer,

Speaker 1 in the private sector, every day you have to justify your existence. Every day.
Even if you work at McDonald's, even if you work as a garbage man, name five things that you did at McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Well, today I cleaned the french fryer and I scrubbed the floors and I made Big Macs and I made sure the Diet Coke machine was working and I helped the customer to their car because she was struggling in the snow.

Speaker 1 Five things. Great.
Thank you very much, McDonald's employee of the month, earning $12 an hour.

Speaker 1 Someone at McDonald's tells you concretely what they do. But if you dare to ask our millions of federal workers, hey, just tell us five bullet points of what you did.

Speaker 1 They are mass refusing this inquiry. It is intimidating, they say.
It's scary.

Speaker 1 They're not used to have anybody come in and ask them a question. In fact, what a chance to

Speaker 1 put out your chest. Oh, yeah, Elon, these are the five things that I do at the Department of Interior.
These are the five things I do at Health and Human Services. This could be done in two minutes.

Speaker 1 These are the five things I did. One, two, three, four, five.
Can these people not do bullets? Can these people read?

Speaker 1 I'm getting to some very provocative answers. They are mass

Speaker 1 deciding not to respond to this inquiry. If your work is all classified, just say so.
And chances are it's not. Chances are you're not doing anything that you can even report on.
You simply exist.

Speaker 1 You are a leech on us.

Speaker 1 And this is the core of what Elon is surfacing, what President Trump is flushing out.

Speaker 1 It's not even that they themselves

Speaker 1 are

Speaker 1 worthy of the criticism, which they are. A lot of these people are less than desirable.

Speaker 1 They could not hold a a job at your local Chipotle. In fact, your local Uber Eats driver, your local Chipotle worker, they're working their tail off every day, and God bless them.

Speaker 1 But the federal work, ooh, those are plushy jobs where nothing is done. These jobs never should have existed in the first place.
And both Republicans and Democrats, George W.

Speaker 1 Bush, alongside Bill Clinton, alongside Barack Hussein Obama, alongside Joe Biden, have been protectorates of this bipartisan regime

Speaker 1 that we talk about a lot, the Uniparty, where there are millions of jobs that should not exist.

Speaker 1 There are famously entire departments of the government just filled with people taking months on end to do what would take a day in a startup or any real company, the bottom line.

Speaker 1 It is so telling that asking a federal worker to take five minutes or two minutes to explain what exactly you do here has become such a controversy.

Speaker 1 It proves that the culture in government is rotten and the media is going along with it. MSNBC right now has musk to federal workers, justify your job or else.
Yes, that's the way things work

Speaker 1 in the real world, not the fantasy world of government, because the money is running out.

Speaker 1 If there's only one takeaway from our time together today, that I want you to internalize, it's that President Trump and Elon Musk and J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth are challenging the D.C.

Speaker 1 orthodoxy that government is untouchable. Government works for us.
They are not a holy realm of existence that we are not allowed to criticize, that we are not allowed to question.

Speaker 1 Now, mind you, the left, they will criticize every conservative nonprofit. They'll investigate Turning Point USA.
They'll find out how many ballot chases we have on the ground.

Speaker 1 They'll write ad nauseum about anything in right-wing world, but they will never criticize or lift a finger asking a question about the government. This is not the government's money.
It is our money.

Speaker 1 This is your money. We are a team together in this, as you, as taxpayers, and they have been felicing us over the last couple of decades.
And let me just read the email again.

Speaker 1 Is this intimidating to you? Does this require a safe space? Does this make you have to run away?

Speaker 1 And this goes to my operating thesis that I wrote in that book back there, The College Scam, which I said this is the college campusification, that's not a word, but I made it up, of the entire country.

Speaker 1 You are not allowed to ask a junior at Yale, what did you learn here? That's intimidation.

Speaker 1 You're not allowed to have an exit test when you leave Stanford. That could be threatening.

Speaker 1 Safe spaces, speech codes, rooms with puppies and milk and cookies. If you hear something threatening, these people are now staffing your government.

Speaker 1 As we have always said, what happens on college campuses does not stay in college campuses. It ends up in corporate boardrooms, the halls of Congress, and metastasizes into your government.

Speaker 1 This is the same mentality that I've been fighting for the last decade on college campuses, that we are finally starting to see a shift. And again, this is the email.

Speaker 1 Please reply to this email with approximately five bullet points of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager. Do not send any class of information, links, or attachments.

Speaker 1 For every single person out there that has had a private sector job, and there are millions of you listening and watching, you should be angered and incensed by this, that these people think that they are an untouchable, holy class.

Speaker 1 They think they have been given the divine right of kings,

Speaker 1 that we serve at the pleasure of this oligarchy, that if you have a federal job, we can't ask a question. We can't dare question.

Speaker 1 Your existence. We are just lucky that you'll mention us.
As an example, and I could tell tell you as somebody who has employed, employs well over a thousand people.

Speaker 1 If America Fest was organized by the federal government, it would take four years to plan it out. It would cost five times as much.
And there would be like a single podium with five speakers.

Speaker 1 The federal government is not just slow and blowed inefficient. It's largely become 80% unnecessary.
Of course, there's core functions of the federal government that should exist.

Speaker 1 80% of these jobs should not exist. 90% should not exist.
And they're proving our point. They can't even respond to a crisp email.
This is what I do. This is why I exist.

Speaker 1 Your local janitor at a school could tell you what they do all day long.

Speaker 1 The person that serves you your Starbucks coffee or serves you your Dunkin' Donuts can tell you to do it all day long. But no, the HR manager at Department of Commerce, it's against union rules.

Speaker 1 And the difference is this. When you go to Dunkin' Donuts, that's a voluntary exchange.
You are deciding to spend your money at at Dunkin' Donuts.

Speaker 1 No one did that in a mandatory way, but you must pay your taxes or you go to jail. But you can't ask the workers that take your taxes at gunpoint, what do you do all day long?

Speaker 1 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. You just saw it.
The privileged get tax pardons while hardworking Americans do not. The IRS just stepped up enforcement.

Speaker 1 If you owe back taxes or have unfilled returns, do not wait for the IRS letter to act. Waiting to get caught makes you look like a tax evader and it will not end well.

Speaker 1 Getting ahead of this is the smart move, but never, never contact the IRS alone. Turn it over to Tax Network USA.
Why? Because not all tax resolution companies are the same.

Speaker 1 First, Tax Network USA has a strong relationship with the IRS. Second, they have a preferred direct line to the IRS.
And why is that important to you?

Speaker 1 Because they know which agents to deal with and which ones to avoid.

Speaker 1 And third, their genius strategies are designed to quickly settle your tax problems in your favor, whether you owe 10,000 or 10 million.

Speaker 1 Their attorneys and negotiators have resolved $1 billion in tax debt. I trust Tax Network USA.
Call and talk with one of their strategists. It's free.

Speaker 1 Stop looking over your shoulder and put the IRS troubles behind you. Call 800-780-8888 or go to tnusa.com/slash Charlie.

Speaker 1 We have been propagandized by

Speaker 1 the storytellers in the media, the mockingbird media,

Speaker 1 and they conflate voluntary action versus compulsory action or mandatory action. If you in the audience right now do not pay your taxes,

Speaker 1 they'll eventually find you, most likely, and put you in jail. It is mandatory for you to pay your taxes.
I pay a lot in taxes, and I'm sure you pay a lot in taxes, an unnecessary amount in taxes.

Speaker 1 So we pay... a lot in taxes and we send it to Washington, D.C.
It is not us doing a voluntary contribution.

Speaker 1 Now, contrast that for a second with when you go to Home Depot or when you decide to take your family out to a meal at Chili's.

Speaker 1 There was competition, there was choice, there was variety, and they have to earn

Speaker 1 your money. Customer service.
That's why you're constantly seeing you can get a burger for $5 at Chili's. You can buy one, get one free.
They have to earn your money.

Speaker 1 They have to convince you that your capital is worthy of spending. The government does no such thing.
The government, at its core, comes in with a gun.

Speaker 1 And with the gun, they say, pay us or else.

Speaker 1 It's compulsory. Now, of course, some form of taxation is necessary.
We agree with that.

Speaker 1 Some form of compulsory extraction of capital from the body politic is essential for common defense, for border security, for services for those that could never lift themselves up.

Speaker 1 But the federal government has gone so much bigger than any of you realize.

Speaker 1 And it should tick you off because there is no concern for actually what finances this. And one of the core elements, and I would love to see President Trump rescind this executive order, is

Speaker 1 the forced unionization of federal workers. I don't believe that this was done by an act of Congress.

Speaker 1 I think it was an executive order by either JFK, FDR spoke out against the forced unionization of federal workers.

Speaker 1 It's so hard to fire these workers. So for example,

Speaker 1 if you're running a local Wendy's and a worker is constantly late and he is confusing burgers with chicken patties and chicken nuggets with fries, He has a bad attitude and is defiant, you fire them.

Speaker 1 But if you have a federal worker that is confusing in audit with a subpoena, is constantly late with a bad attitude, it's very difficult to fire that person, nearly impossible.

Speaker 1 So market forces that built the wealth of the West, market forces that allowed the competitive drive and edge of entrepreneurialism for this country to become the greatest nation in the history of the world are not just not implemented in government, they're at odds with those things.

Speaker 1 So what Elon Musk and President Trump are doing is like, let's just ask a couple questions. What do you do here and what have you gotten done?

Speaker 1 And the demons are shrieking within the government because you can't even ask the question. And let me reiterate the point.
They are only able to exist through force.

Speaker 1 Your local company, whether it be Apple

Speaker 1 or whether it be a local restaurant, Italian restaurant or Lebanese restaurant that you care about, an auto repair clinic, whatever it might be, they are there because they earned it.

Speaker 1 They are not there through force. They are there through voluntary exchange.
You cannot have a functioning organization if you cannot terminate the defiant, the lazy, or the unproductive.

Speaker 1 Write that down and commit it to memory. You cannot have a flourishing organization if you cannot fire the lazy, the bloated, the defiant, or the unproductive.

Speaker 1 And the federal government is there through force, and we have no choice.

Speaker 1 And so we say, okay, okay, since you're there because you extracted the money through us at gunpoint, shouldn't we then be able to, I don't know, wonder where our money is going? Remember, our money.

Speaker 1 And by the way, if Apple

Speaker 1 or

Speaker 1 if

Speaker 1 Chipotle or Five Guys is wasting our money,

Speaker 1 then stop going there because the product will decline. But it's done through voluntary exchange.
The federal government is different because it's we the people. We are shareholders in this project.

Speaker 1 We are citizens.

Speaker 1 We are co-owners, at least we're supposed to be. And that is the central question revolving all of this.
Are we the people customers? Are we shareholders or are we subjects? Who works for who?

Speaker 1 They work for us. And soon, they got to tell us what they do all day long or else face instant termination.

Speaker 1 Private student loan debt in the U.S. totals about $300 billion.
I guarantee you, somebody watching this right now, a lot of you have private distressed student loan debt.

Speaker 1 You just kind of ignore it, ignore it, ignore it. And that's not the right way to do it.
You got to confront your problems. You have to look head-on to your issues.

Speaker 1 That is the right rule for life, and it's no different for student loan debt. YReFi does not care what your credit score is.

Speaker 1 You could finally take control of your student loan situation with a plan that works for your monthly budget.

Speaker 1 Many clients are not even able to make the minimum monthly payment on their private student loans when they first contact YReFi. But do you have a co-borrower? Bad credit is accepted.

Speaker 1 Let me say it again. Bad credit is accepted and they do not care what your credit score is.
They don't care. Call 888-YReFi34 or log on to whyrefi.com.
Do you have a co-borrower?

Speaker 1 WhyReFi can get them released from the loan and you can give mom and dad a needed break. If your private student loan debt just keeps piling up at night and ruining your life, it doesn't have to.

Speaker 1 Just call YReFi. If you go to YReFi.com, you can read testimonials from other people who who have been where you are and how they've escaped.
So go to YReFi.com.

Speaker 1 They offer a three-minute check without any credit impact. That is YREFY.com.

Speaker 1 Joining us now is Senator Rick Scott from the great state of Florida. Senator, great to see you.
Senator, I think you would like to hear. I was just on the campus of University of South Florida.

Speaker 1 We had 2,000-plus students attend. This Thursday, I'll be on the campus of the University of Florida.
This Friday, Florida State University. So we are doing your home state proud, sir.

Speaker 4 I bet you're having fun, and the weather's pretty good, too.

Speaker 1 It's very good, better than Washington, D.C., and much better than my hometown of Chicago right now.

Speaker 1 So, Senator, I want to ask you a really hard question out of the gate here. I need five bullet points of what you did last week.
The floor is yours.

Speaker 4 Okay, here we go. 12,000, Charlie, I was ready for this because I'm a business guy, so I expected this.
I do a weekly newsletter to all my constituents every week. 12,000 phone calls to my 10 offices.

Speaker 4 We passed a reconciliation bill Thursday night. We got Cash Patel confirmed.
We got Harold Luttnick confirmed.

Speaker 4 And I filed a merit-based hiring bill, which means that we'll stop this stuff that you, you know, that, you know, federal workers are like different than everybody else that you can't fire people for not doing their job.

Speaker 4 So is that enough? I can give you a bunch more if you want.

Speaker 1 Keep going. I want to keep hearing it.
So.

Speaker 4 So, you know,

Speaker 4 Charlie, this is so simplistic. What Elon Musk is asking for is exactly what should be done.
There should be complete accountability by every federal worker, right? And guess what?

Speaker 4 I was governor of Florida for eight years, and that's exactly what I ask everybody to do. Tell me what you're going to get done this week, because we have an obligation.

Speaker 4 There are no, no non-essential workers. There was none in my business life.
There's not going to be in state government. There shouldn't be in the federal government.

Speaker 1 And so let's just kind of dwell on this for a second.

Speaker 1 That market principles when you built a business are that if you're unproductive or if you're defiant or if you are lazy or if you are not a good fit you will be terminated the government has always operated as its own thing

Speaker 4 talk about how what you did also as governor of florida to bring in those market principles and why florida is probably the best run state in the country but how did we get to a point in the federal government where we act as if federal workers are an untouchable holy class it doesn't it doesn't make any sense like you charlie you have the right to pick which restaurant you go to so if if you have a bad waiter if you have bad food you don't go back right so you are deciding not to continue those people from having a job you do it every day we do it all every day based on what services we'll buy what products we buy all that stuff so when i became governor of florida that's the way i thought because i built business i built the largest hospital company i built a bunch of manufacturing companies every employee had a purpose or they weren't there and by the way if you get fired you decided to get fired every any good manager is very clear what they expect out of you.

Speaker 4 So if you get fired, it's not a surprise because they told you this is what your expectation was, and then you decided not to do it. That's exactly what ought to be happening.

Speaker 4 So I did it as governor of Florida. We created

Speaker 4 unbelievable efficiencies. I think we went from like 127,000 employees to 112,000 employees because, you know, we didn't need as many employees.
We tried every day, how to get more efficient.

Speaker 4 How do I get more efficient?

Speaker 4 How do I provide better service to the citizens of Florida at lower price that's what businesses do and so what is Congress's role here what would you say as far as trying to put forward the Doge agenda and making government work for the people again our job should be accountability our job should be we want transparency there's two things really that Trump's team has brought to the table when you look at when you look at his cabinet picks what they bring to the table in my opinion is two things a commitment to transparency and a commitment to accountability So as an example, I was talking to Pam Bondi, who's a good friend of mine the other day.

Speaker 4 I mean,

Speaker 4 under both under the FBI and DOJ, under Biden, they didn't think they had an obligation to tell us why they're doing the way what they're doing. Pam Bondi and Cash Patel think totally different.

Speaker 4 They know that it's the responsibility of everybody that runs any part of the federal government is tell the American public what the live and delays is going on.

Speaker 4 So that's what we ought to be doing. What we ought to be doing here is holding hearings and hold people accountable.

Speaker 4 So on home and security,

Speaker 4 you know, Rand Paul is running that committee now. And we're going to have committee hearings.
We're going to be asking people all the hard questions. Did you get something done?

Speaker 4 Why does it cost that much? Can you provide a better service? We want, my office won for the best constituent services team in the country last year of all House members and Senate members.

Speaker 4 The reason we did is we have a measurement system. for success.

Speaker 4 What are the people who are looking for? That's what we do.

Speaker 1 And no one has thought to do do this.

Speaker 1 I mean, obviously, Biden wouldn't, but for the last 20 or 30 years, and we finally have this mandate given by the American people, we also need serious deficit and debt reduction reform.

Speaker 1 I know this is something they're very passionate about, but if we are not serious about analyzing key expenditures, we're going to become routinely in trillion-dollar deficits.

Speaker 1 It's a make-or-break moment. Speak to this, to our audience, Senator, of the high stakes of the fiscal apocalypse that is looming if we do not start cutting spending.

Speaker 4 Well, if you think about it, with $36 trillion worth of debt, now we're at $36.5 trillion worth of debt. We're growing about every, but you know, it'll be $2 trillion this year in increase.

Speaker 4 So inflation will not come down, all right? And interest rates will not come down. I mean, inflation and interest rates are completely tied to wasteful government spending, all right?

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 4 we don't have a choice. I became governor of Florida

Speaker 4 and we had not lived within our means for 20 straight years. We had added a billion dollars of excess debt every year for 20 straight years.
We were about to go and default on our debt.

Speaker 4 Eventually, people are not going to buy our debt. They're going to say, I don't know that you can pay all that money back.

Speaker 4 So, and but the worst thing for is for poor families. I grew up in a poor family.
A lot of Americans did.

Speaker 4 My mom would have had a hard time with the inflation we've had under Biden and where interest rates are now.

Speaker 1 And government spending is the primary driver of that.

Speaker 1 I know you told. 100%.
Yeah, so I know you you told Producer Andrew in the break that the next two weeks are going to be very interesting. Please outline the next two weeks for us, Senator.

Speaker 4 So here we got we got two big things, right?

Speaker 4 We want to get a reconciliation bill done that does these things, right? We want to secure the border. We want to build up our military.
We want to extend the Trump tax cuts.

Speaker 4 And there's a variety of other things. We want to reduce wasteful spending.
Those are the things we want to get done.

Speaker 4 So there's different approaches, whether you have one bill or two bills or three bills. I'm okay with whatever number we have as long as we get those things done.
So that we're working on.

Speaker 4 We passed ours out of

Speaker 4 the Senate last Thursday. The House will try to pass theirs this week.
But then on top of that, on March 14th, if we don't come to an agreement, the government gets shut down.

Speaker 4 Now, as you know, a lot of Democrats have said they want to shut down government, which is fascinating to me because they always try to blame that on Republicans.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 Democrats now saying they want to shut down government, but none of us want to, I don't know if a Republican wants to shut down government, but we're going to have to figure out how to come together to get something done that is fiscally responsible, where we don't have a gazillion number of earmarks that's completely wasteful.

Speaker 4 Like

Speaker 4 I think the last year was 8,000 earmarks. Complete waste, right? Just complete waste when we're running $2 trillion a year deficit.

Speaker 4 So it's going to be how we bring everybody together to get this done will be very difficult.

Speaker 1 It's a very consequential time. What are also the status of Trump's undersecretaries and deputies? Give us some idea of the confirmation schedule there.

Speaker 4 Well, we are now, we've been, we're behind on the number of nominees we've gotten done since Obama's first term, but we're ahead on cabinet picks, which is really good.

Speaker 4 Now, what we're doing is the undersecretaries are going through the committee process to get them out.

Speaker 4 Tonight, we're doing the Secretary of the Army.

Speaker 4 Hopefully, we'll get that one completed tonight or tomorrow or Wednesday. So, we're going through them and we're doing as quickly as the Democrats allow us.

Speaker 4 The way it works up here, depending on the nominee, you have 30 hours of debate or two hours of debate.

Speaker 4 So what we're trying to do is we're doing this as quickly as we can, but the Democrats are not giving us any time back. They're making us take all the 30 hours or two hours for every nominee.

Speaker 4 So the other one we want to get done this week is the trade rep, Jamison Greer, which is a really important job dealing with the Trump tariffs.

Speaker 4 So, but, you know, we're Republicans up here, we are staying. We're working hard to get those things done.

Speaker 1 So, Senator, I want your comments, and I'm going to speak about this later in the show, of another Floridian going into the FBI, Dan Bongino.

Speaker 1 Dan Bongino has been chosen to be deputy director of the FBI. Your thoughts?

Speaker 4 I think it's great. I think Dan's going to do a great job.
First off, here's why I like Cash Patel. The reason I like Cash was because he had been persecuted by the FBI.

Speaker 4 He had been a target, right? And so I think he's going to bring a totally different perspective of somebody that's been, they try to take advantage of it and ruin their life.

Speaker 4 Dan Bongino is somebody that's been very vocal on this issue, very vocal on what, you know, what our federal government, law enforcement should be doing.

Speaker 4 So I think those two together are going to do a great job. Pam Bondi is going to do a great job as Attorney General.
She was attorney general the eight years I was governor of Florida.

Speaker 4 So he's, Trump's putting together a team that's going to make changes happen and it's going to do two things, create transparency and accountability.

Speaker 4 These things, these, you know, these entities, which they work for us, they're going to be totally different. So I think Dan's going to do a great job.
Cash, Pam, all of them are.

Speaker 1 Senator, any closing thoughts of things that are legislative priorities or fights you want our audience to be aware of?

Speaker 4 Well,

Speaker 4 the big thing is be vocal.

Speaker 4 You showed it in the leaders race last November.

Speaker 4 Your voice was heard.

Speaker 4 While I didn't win, we completely changed the Senate. So stay active.
That's how you get Trump's nominees done. That's how you get Trump's agenda done.
Stay active and be vocal.

Speaker 1 Senator, thank you so much. Really appreciate it.
And Godspeed. Big couple weeks ahead.
Thank you.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Take care.
Enjoy Florida.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 1 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. There's a lot of excitement in Washington, D.C.
as we start the year, but I wanted to talk to you about something just as exciting happening outside the D.C.

Speaker 1 Beltway, a revolution in the states. It's the education freedom movement.
It's real.

Speaker 1 It's growing and growing because some states, as they should, are putting parents in charge of the education of their kids.

Speaker 1 Everyone knows education has the power to change a kid's life, and anyone who raised a child knows each has different needs, learning styles, and God-given talents.

Speaker 1 The fact is, parents know their own children best, knows what's best for their development and future.

Speaker 1 Education freedom legislation puts parents, not zip codes and politicians in charge of these important family decisions.

Speaker 1 It's why I strongly support making universal education freedom a reality for every parent in every state.

Speaker 1 To find out where your state legislature stands and to make sure your voice is heard, go to educationfreedomusa.com. Now, educationfreedomusa.com.

Speaker 1 Bombshell news. Bombshell news.
My friend and friend of this program and great American patriot is going to be number two at the FBI. This is so important, everybody.

Speaker 1 Let me explain to you before we play Dan Bongino's clip here. Dan Bongino becoming deputy deputy director of the FBI means that somebody is going to have Cash Patel 6.

Speaker 1 That somebody is going to be able to make sure that Cash Patel

Speaker 1 has his back covered. Dan Bongino was a Secret Service agent.
A Secret Service agent, by the way, does have arrest authority, so you could say that he was a law enforcement agent.

Speaker 1 And I believe he was a police officer before that, if I'm not mistaken. The media is trying to say, oh, he was just, you know, a podcaster.
No, no, no. He has significant law enforcement background.

Speaker 1 But Dan Bongino, his podcast is massive. It's huge.

Speaker 1 Really got viral during RussiaGate. Dan Bongino went all in during RussiaGate

Speaker 1 and exposed the lying, the deceit, and the illegal activity of the FBI against President Trump. And he was terrific at it.

Speaker 1 Dan Bongino also will get to the bottom of what happened on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania. No more can they just, oh, take out Cash Patel, but you also have Dan Bongino.
No, no.

Speaker 1 Now you have this dynamic duo to turn the FBI back into a law enforcement agency. And I trust Cash Patel with my life, and I trust Dan Bongino with my life.
And you have one-two combo here.

Speaker 1 And people did not see this one coming. Here is Dan Bongino this morning making the announcement on his program or reacting to it, PlayCut 65.

Speaker 5 Obviously, we're going to be working with a team of people to make this transition from me,

Speaker 5 political commentator Dan, to deputy director of the FBI, Dan. Those are different roles, require different skills.
Skills I have and have used before and I plan to use again.

Speaker 5 The vision of President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel,

Speaker 5 I am going to do my job to implement that vision. And I can tell you right now, we are going to try our best.
Every single thing I have in me,

Speaker 5 Every single strand of DNA cell in my body is going to be dedicated towards keeping this homeland safe, no matter what.

Speaker 1 This is why all of you chased ballots. This is why all of you gave financially to President Trump on turning point action.
This is why all of you registered voters.

Speaker 1 All of our fortitude to grind through the dark night of the soul is paying off. It's not just that we have

Speaker 1 President Donald Trump, but we have Pete Hegstead, we have Marco Rubio, we have Scott Bessant, we have Bobby Canaan, we have Tulsi Gabbard, not just Cash Patel, but now Dan Bongino, TikTok, for all of the deceitful parasitic criminals that have been infecting our law enforcement agents, the Department of Justice, the FBI.

Speaker 1 We got Pam Bondi, we got Cash Patel, we got Dan Bongino. We got eyes scanning

Speaker 1 the horizon for any activity. Dan Bongino, being number two at the FBI, will ensure that President Trump does not have to go through a Russian Gate 2.0.

Speaker 1 Will ensure that Peter Struckstroke Smirk and his like and his little minions are not going to infiltrate the government to be weaponized against the people and against the administration that was popularly elected.

Speaker 1 This is a man devoted to America, and I can't speak high enough about his integrity, his character, his honesty. He's been a wonderful friend to me.

Speaker 1 You know, Dan Bongino, every time he speaks at Turning Point, USA does not charge us a cent. You know, some of these Prima Donals, they'll charge you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Speaker 1 You got to negotiate down. Like, no, no, no, like, let's not do that.
And you got to, he will never charge us a dollar to speak at our events.

Speaker 1 That's who he is, and he has spoken at tons of our events, and he's always been there for me and always been there for our country.

Speaker 1 I could not be more happy for not just for Dan Bongino, but for our country. And woof, watch out, DC.

Speaker 1 It's gonna get a little uncomfortable. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
