of talking and scrambling and maybe trying some stuff to get back in the good graces of the government because the government has them in a vice grip that says if you continue to be antisemitic and not open to different points of view such as conservative ones we will not give you the funding that you require from the federal government. So Harvard had been trying to hang tight and not do what the…

I doubt anybody would have done it intentionally but it was a bad play and it looked like it was a little bit a blown opportunity I guess. So there's some reason to believe that some people would have a reason to be mad at Bondi.
And we don't know exactly who said tell everybody that there's nothing to see here. But don't you assume it was Trump? Don't you believe that whatever Kash Patel and Bongino and Bondi said about Epstein, don't you assume that that was all run past Trump and he said this is what you're going to say? Don't you believe that? Because I definitely don't believe that any of them went rogue and said I'll just say what I think and this is what I think. Oh there's nothing there. I don't buy it. So I think it's Trump's decisions but maybe he was influenced by one of them more than the other. Something like that.
But if you're going to try to bet whether Dan Bongino is really going to quit his job over any of this Epstein stuff I would give you the following equation. So Bongino went from the top of the pile in the best job you could ever have, what I'm doing right now. Yeah I laugh because even though I monetized my podcast I wouldn't do it unless I sort of enjoyed it every day. Well not even sort of. I enjoy it. I have absolute enjoyment of doing it. Even the prep which takes hours. Absolutely enjoy it.
Now do you think that Dan Bongino went from the top of the pile, one of the top podcasters in the country, and the podcasting is sort of the hottest area you could be in, and then he left there to have some government job that probably involves commuting and people hating him and all this drama and the rumors? How much do you think he wishes he had his old job back? Just use your common sense. Do you think he goes into the FBI every day and says man I made a good choice? I don't think so. I think he made the patriotic choice. I believe he took the job because he is a genuine patriot. That's my belief. Now again I can't read his mind and I don't know him personally but we all have to be judges of character because you can't avoid it. My judge of his character is that he's the real deal. Meaning that he would have only taken the job if he thought he could do something that would help the president and help the country because he was giving up a lot. Giving up the best job for the worst job. Who does that? Well it's like somebody joining the military because the country got attacked. It's a really big sacrifice and he made it.
Now suppose that he found out he couldn't do the honest job that he thought he wanted to do because let's say somebody, we don't have to know who, said well you know the truth but you're not allowed to say it. What would Dan Bongino say? If somebody who had enough power to make it happen said you're not allowed to tell the

truth on this issue, let's say the Epstein issue that your base and your fans really care about, but you're not allowed to tell the truth. What would you do or what would you assume that Dan Bongino would do? Well at the very least I would make some threats and I would say look here's the deal. I think we botched that Epstein rollout but if we can fix it maybe I'll stay, but if we can't fix it I d…
