Country music artist John Rich, a longtime friend of the show and owner of the pro-American Redneck Riviera bar in Nashville, discussed the challenges of the woke music industry and businesses, specifically in country music. He shared his perspective on the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) movement and how it's affecting artists and the industry as a whole. Rich expressed that companies, even those perceived as pro-American, can be engaged in anti-merit based DEI practices. He also mentioned the success of country music artists who speak out and remain true to their values, such as himself, Kid Rock, and Jason Aldean, who continue to draw massive crowds in rural areas despite the potential backlash. The New York Times was recently surprised by the popularity of these rock the country concerts, but Rich and others have been part of this scene for a long time and have seen great success.

FBI's role in January 6th events: Whistleblowers reported FBI undercovers at Capitol and pipe bombs investigation not taken seriously, raising questions about potential involvement and lack of transparency
There were credible whistleblowers who reported the presence of FBI undercovers among the crowd on January 6th, and yet the FBI director has not been forthcoming about this information. The whistleblowers also reported that the investigation into the pipe bombs found that day was not taken seriously, and those responsible for finding the bombs were instructed to stand down. The discovery of the pipe bombs and their proximity to the unfolding events at the Capitol raises serious questions about potential involvement of law enforcement agencies in the events of January 6th. The FBI's handling of this information and the suspicious career trajectory of Ashton Benedict, the ATF Special Agent in Charge for DC who oversaw the initial response to the pipe bombs, add to the intrigue surrounding these events. The public needs to demand answers and accountability from law enforcement agencies regarding their role in the January 6th events.
Capitol Police cover-up: Serious doubts have been raised about the authenticity of the discovery of the DNC bomb during the 2016 election due to the head of intelligence and dignitary protection's questionable actions and explanations, suggesting a possible cover-up
There are serious concerns about the role of Capitol Police officer Benedict in the discovery of the DNC bomb during the 2016 election. Benedict, who is currently the head of intelligence and dignitary protection, was present during the discovery of the bomb and reportedly acted as a handler for one of the officers on the scene. However, when questioned about the officers' inaction in the face of the bomb, Benedict endorsed the unbelievable explanation that they didn't want to cause panic. Additionally, there are questions about the timing of the discovery of the DNC bomb, which was found within a short timeframe after the RNC bomb, and the officers' apparent clairvoyance in assuming there would be another bomb at the DNC. These circumstances raise serious doubts about the authenticity of the discovery of the DNC bomb and suggest that there may be a cover-up taking place. The whistleblower believes that Benedict knows about this and is actively facilitating the cover-up. This could be a significant development in the larger story of the 2016 election and the events leading up to the Capitol breach.
Political Manipulation and Censorship: Global elites, including politicians and media figures, are manipulating situations and censoring opposing views, leading to a loss of trust in the political system. False pretenses, selective law enforcement, and shifting political allegiances are contributing to the confusion and erosion of trust.
The actions of global elites, including politicians and media figures, are raising significant concerns due to their willingness to manipulate situations and censor opposing views. The arrest of a political figure under false pretenses and the selective enforcement of laws are examples of this manipulation. Furthermore, some individuals who were once perceived as conservatives are now openly advocating for liberal politicians, which adds to the confusion and erosion of trust in the political system. The depths of dishonesty and corruption displayed by these individuals is shocking and requires constant scrutiny and exposure. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump and the subsequent cover-up by the FBI and media are just one example of the malfeasance that is pervasive in today's political landscape. It is essential to remain vigilant and hold those in power accountable for their actions.
Press ignorance, manipulation: Some members of the press lack necessary knowledge and intelligence, allowing for historical and mathematical ignorance and manipulation, with little criticism from the left, posing a threat to free expression and democracy
According to Dan Bongino, some members of the press are not only dishonest but also lack the necessary knowledge and intelligence to report accurately on serious issues. He criticizes them for being historically and mathematically ignorant, which allows them to be manipulated and spread misinformation. He also notes that there is a lack of criticism from the left towards their own people, making it easier for them to get away with spreading false narratives. Another topic discussed was the arrest of the Telegram CEO, Pavel Doraum, in France, which Bongino views as an escalation in the war on free expression and international democracy. He urges listeners to execute and bring people to the polls in the upcoming election as there is a threat of mail-in ballot manipulation.
Impact of unengaged voters in elections: Three million unengaged voters in swing states can significantly influence American elections, and it's crucial for individuals to recognize their role in shaping the future by standing up against global censorship
The power of three million unengaged voters in swing states can significantly impact American elections. These individuals, who are not deeply involved in politics, have important lives outside of politics, and are not stupid, but simply lack the time to delve into political matters. The authorities, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, are hesitant to take drastic actions against conservatives and free speech platforms due to potential electoral consequences. The arrest of Trump was an exception, as the authorities believed they could easily defeat him. The current administration is eager to suppress free expression and silence dissenting voices, as seen in the arrest of the Telegram CEO. It's crucial for individuals to recognize their role in shaping the future by standing up against global censorship. The fight against censorship may be difficult, but it's a legacy worth pursuing. The heavens put a price on things that are worth doing, and the fight against censorship is no exception. It's important to remember that the road to victory won't be easy, but staying engaged and taking action can build character and make a difference.
Telegram censorship: Refusal to comply with government censorship attempts can lead to international investigations and significant consequences for privacy and free speech platforms
Telegram, a free speech platform with end-to-end encryption, faced potential censorship or takeover by the government due to its lack of speech restrictions. When its founder, Pavel Durov, refused to comply, he became the focus of an international investigation. This incident underscores the ongoing tension between privacy, free speech, and government regulation. It's a reminder that the choices we make as users and developers can have significant consequences. Join us every day at 11 a.m. for more insights on these and other topics at rumble.com/Bongino.
