Either Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are corrupt liars or they are lying because they have been made to fear. There is no option where they are telling the truth and we all know it. So what then?
Introduction
Opening Remarks (00:00:00 - 00:02:21)
The hosts, self-described as the "two kings of the Rube Empire," introduce the episode with a fiery tone, labeling themselves right-wing extremists, supernaturalists, and Christian bigots.
The Philosopher King holds 51% of the power, while the Iron King is the "people’s champ" and hosts the show with unfiltered energy due to Dusty’s absence.
The hosts emphasize their Christian faith, with the Iron King declaring his love for Jesus Christ and urging listeners to follow Him.
Tone is set for a candid, no-holds-barred discussion, promising to "give it straight with no chaser."
Main Topics Discussed
Criticism of Dan Bongino and Kash Patel (00:00:01 - 00:22:10)
Context: The hosts express frustration with conservative figures Dan Bongino and Kash Patel for statements made on a Sunday talk show (possibly CBS) regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s death and the Butler County shooter.
Epstein’s Death (00:10:43 - 00:17:18)
Bongino and Patel claimed Epstein killed himself, which the hosts vehemently reject, citing well-known inconsistencies:
Epstein was in a suicide-proof cell with paper sheets.
Cameras malfunctioned, and guards fell asleep, later being exonerated.
Three neck bones were broken, unusual for a suicide.
A cell phone was found in his possession, and his cellmate allegedly tried to kill him.
The hosts mock the "trust the files" narrative, referencing Steven Crowder’s breakdown of the impossibility of Epstein’s suicide.
They argue this reflects either coercion or complicity, highlighting the power of the "deep state."
Butler County Shooter (00:21:50 - 00:24:36)
Bongino and Patel dismissed conspiracy theories about the shooter, Matthew Thomas Crooks, claiming he acted alone.
The hosts counter with suspicious details:
Crooks’ house was wiped clean, and his parents were heavily lawyered up.
His parents were psychologists, potentially linked to CIA-like manipulation.
A call to FBI headquarters was traced to his phone.
Security failures included an understaffed Secret Service, a sloped roof left unguarded, and CNN’s rare coverage of the Trump rally that day.
They suggest an orchestrated assassination attempt meant to spark civil unrest, foiled by divine intervention.
Key Takeaway: The hosts view these statements as evidence of a controlled narrative, undermining trust in conservative leaders and exposing the impotence of political figures against systemic corruption.
Distrust in the System and Political Figures (00:18:51 - 00:29:00)
The hosts argue that the presidency and government are powerless against a "deep state" pulling the strings, using an Avenged Sevenfold music video as a metaphor for unseen powers controlling politicians.
They criticize the blind loyalty to figures like Trump, emphasizing that no politician can save America—only Christ can.
The hosts reject the "lesser of two evils" voting argument and lament the lack of principled leaders like Patrick Henry.
They cite Thomas Massie as a rare principled politician who achieves little due to systemic resistance, reinforcing their view that the government is not for the people.
Critique of Political Labels and Conservatism (00:07:35 - 00:09:30)
Referencing Joel Webbin’s podcast, the hosts argue there are no true conservatives in government, only "liberals and liberals."
They identify as Christian nationalists, prioritizing biblical principles like truthfulness over political allegiance.
They express frustration with Republicans who attack principled critics rather than addressing systemic lies.
Societal Decline and Spiritual Perspective (00:04:19 - 00:05:55)
The hosts compare America’s state to a self-implosion, likening it to biblical Judah facing internal collapse rather than external invasion.
They draw parallels to Elijah’s time under Ahab and Jezebel, positioning themselves as voices crying out in the wilderness against a corrupt system.
The Minor Prophets provide "copium" for dealing with a seemingly lost cause, reinforcing their belief that only Christ, not human government, offers salvation.
Positive Developments and White Pills (00:15:21 - 00:19:00, 01:04:50 - 01:05:46)
Policy Wins: The hosts praise RFK Jr. for removing food dyes and challenging the ineffective HHS, as well as Trump for passing no tax on tips, though they push for broader tax reform like eliminating income tax.
Cultural Shifts: They highlight the rise in homeschooling and Christian schools as signs of a growing resistance to secular propaganda, attributing this to divine providence.
Incremental Change: While acknowledging small victories, they urge listeners not to settle, criticizing Republicans who celebrate minimal progress without pushing further.
Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson’s Spiritual Awakening (01:13:31 - 01:20:02)
The hosts cite Joe Rogan attending a Protestant church and Tucker Carlson reading the Bible as evidence of a cultural shift toward Christianity.
Rogan, once dismissive of Christians, now sees the need for Jesus, influenced by guests like Wes Huff and Dave Smith.
Carlson’s journey from atheism to faith further illustrates God’s movement in influential figures.
This "mustard seed" growth of faith in prominent voices gives hope that God is working despite systemic corruption.
Call to Action for Christians (01:07:49 - 01:13:02)
The hosts reject withdrawing from society or violent rebellion, instead advocating for a long-term strategy of faithful Christian living:
Raise families to love Jesus, build strong churches, and spread faith organically.
Example: A friend running for mayor of Orlando, driven by faith, exemplifies local impact.
They emphasize that faith in Christ, not the system, will restore society, likening it to the kingdom of God growing like a mustard seed.
Evangelistic Appeal (01:20:06 - 01:25:56)
The hosts directly address non-believers, arguing that the world’s evil reflects human sinfulness, which only Christ can redeem.
They challenge the notion of morality without God, asserting that evil (e.g., Epstein’s actions) is only recognizable because of God’s standard.
They call listeners to submit to Jesus, the only perfect founder of faith, for personal and societal transformation.
Key Themes
Distrust in Institutions: The hosts view the government, FBI, and mainstream media as irredeemably corrupt, controlled by unseen forces.
Christian Faith as the Solution: They repeatedly affirm that only Jesus Christ, not political figures or systems, can save individuals and society.
Critique of Blind Loyalty: They challenge the idolization of politicians like Trump, urging listeners to prioritize principles over personalities.
Hope in Divine Providence: Despite systemic failures, the hosts see God moving through cultural shifts (e.g., Rogan, Carlson) and grassroots efforts (e.g., homeschooling).
Long-Term Faithfulness: They advocate for incremental, faith-driven change through strong families and churches, rejecting quick fixes or violence.
