January 6 that if you don't have enough security and you know for sure a gigantic group of angry people are coming your way? No we didn't learn anything from it. There's nothing useful about knowing the details of January 6. I mean unless it helps you know how corrupt the system is I suppose. But yeah you can just delete that from your memory banks. Wouldn't make a difference. None. Dan Bongino i…

all right what do people who succeed do? Okay, okay, all right you're doing all right. What if I just do all that? And then he does all that and then he's really successful. Maybe it's that. Just figure out what everybody does and do it.

I would describe my own path to, if you can call this success, that I just studied all the successful people from my earliest age. You know from 11 years old if I saw a story about a successful person I was going to read it and I would find out what did you do? Like why was it luck?

Mike Flynn. All right so so far we have the media, DOJ, and the Democrats are crooked and we've got some suggestion that the Secret Service is crooked. And let's see, Mike Flynn is talking about the fact that the House of Representatives is working on this plan, a bipartisan plan, to make sure that the government is staffed if there's a major casualty event in which the representatives who are elected are all killed or disabled.

You don't get bipartisan unless something's happening right now. You know what I mean? Here's what doesn't happen. There's some general problem that just sort of always been the problem throughout history and there's nothing immediately pressing about it but then Congress gets together and does a bipartisan bill. Has that ever happened? The suggestion here is that the people working on this bipartisan bill to deal with what happens when they all get killed is because there's a specific threat. And the question that I ask is are they going to do a State of the Union this year? Do you think you're going to put all of our congress critters in one room or even just the Senate or just the House? I feel like they must think there's some credible threat of something like a missile blowi

ng up a building. You know if they were worried about drone attacks the best drone attack would get a few people. But they seem to be worried about something that would take out a whole building full of Congress people, right? Because it's not like they're all going to be all over the country and then die at the same time unless it's a pandemic I suppose. Maybe it's a pandemic but it does sound li…
