DAVE SMITH (CO-HOST): But the other thing is that, that I'll just say is that Dan Bongino has really revealed himself, and this is why he deserves for us to really, you know, tear him a new asshole, especially because he's going after a good guy. But it's the point that he's going after. It's not you know, there, there might have been some speculation for a while there. Like, what exactly happened with Dan Bongino?
You know, you talked such a big game about how you were going to get to the bottom of this. You were gonna expose the files day one. Don't give up on this thing. This is a huge scandal. He didn't kill himself. We're gonna get to the bottom of it. And then you went in there and then you gave this, like, what seemed like a hostage video of saying, nope, nothing to see here. Stop asking questions. He killed himself. Come on.
Now some people speculated when they see that, that it's like, oh, they got to him or he was threatened or he was, you know, whatever. He was scared. He looked into the darkness and saw how dark it really is and was like, yo, I don't want a part of this.
But when you see him attacking every decent person out there, you know, it's one thing to not do the right thing, to be a pussy, run away, not do what your job was that you signed up for, and to just leave everyone alone after that. But to come out and try to smear every decent person, including the guy who did what you were too much of a pussy bitch to do, who got the files to the American people, that's a bridge too far.
That's when you know, like, oh, you're, you're not like, you didn't fail to expose the deep state. You are the deep state. You are their protector.
...
I'm sorry, but this fucking fraud sellout to call out, say he's disappointed in Thomas Massie. Like, dude, you did the biggest fucking 180, the most obvious 180 in, in fucking politics, dude. You, I mean, you are really relying on people to not have a memory a year old, or really not have a memory two years old, where you were on the podcast scene bragging about how you were going to bring down the deep state criminals who framed Donald Trump for treason, who locked down this country, who, you know, protected Jeffrey Epstein and all of his crimes against underage girls and all types of, like, political corruption. You were going to drain the swamp.
You went in, did a 180, defended the Epstein thing. Said he killed himself, there were no co-conspirators, and you guys don't need to see any of this. You have to trust me. You guys put up zero deep state arrests on the board, but you're disappointed in Thomas Massie for not what?
...
He's not a very smart individual. So he, he's dumb. He's corrupt as shit. He's a liar, and he's trying to ruin good people. It's just too much, too much to possibly tolerate.
