What Pushed Bongino Out as Rob Reiner’s Dark Words Now Under Scrutiny
Kerri Lane
The Democrats' ship isn't just sinking, it's taking on water. And the band is still playing, while CNN is forced to admit voters are officially done with the left in a brutal new poll. Meanwhile, Republicans are racking up wins like it's Christmas morning. You're going to watch a CNBC host literally gasp on live television when the new inflation numbers drop.
And let's just say, once again, Trump was right about everything. Then Dan Bongino is calling it quits at the FBI. I've got the details behind his departure there. Plus, the story the media isn't telling you about Rob Reiner's past. You're not going to want to miss a second of this. Like the video, subscribe if you're new here, and let's get into it.
President Trump, he is stacking up wins on top of wins on top of wins, while Democrats are stuck with an approval rating still sitting in the sewer at a stunning 18%. Their base has shrunk down to their friends, family, illegal immigrants, and health insurance executives. In fact, it's so bad, even CNN can't spin it anymore.
How are voters feeling about Democrats right now?
Yeah, I mean, Democrats in the minds of the American public are lower than the Dead Sea. What are we talking about here? Well, let's take a look. The net approval rating for Democrats in Congress, you said it, Kate Baldwin, the lowest ever. Look at this. Overall, they are 55 points underwater.
Their approval rating is south of 20%. It's even worse when you look at independents. Look at this, negative 61 points. That means that their approval rating is 61 points lower than their disapproval rating. Quinnipiac has been polling this question for the better part of the 21st century. They have never found Democrats, at least those in Congress, in worse shape than they are right now.
And yet Democrats still want to talk about President Trump's approval rating. Maybe they should start by looking in the mirror before continuing down this tired, anti-Trump at all costs path because it hasn't worked before and it's clearly not working now.
And that's not the only bad news Democrats are waking up to today. Watch this CNBC host gasp in real time as new inflation numbers roll in and completely shatter expectations.
The number of the morning, the CPI, oh, maybe coming in a little bit better than expected. 2.7 percent, a little light here. I'm not calling, I'm just reading the headlines here. Year over year, 2.7, ex-food and energy core, 2.6, so four-tenths off. That is a very good number here. Seasonally adjusted index for all items, those food and energy rows, 2.6, so 4 tenths off. That is a very good number here. Seasonally Adjusted Index for all items, less food and energy rose 0.2% over the two months.
So, correct my math here, Michael Santoli, but 0.2 divided by two is 0.1. So therefore, that's a very, very low monthly rate here.
So let me get this straight. The so-called experts were wrong again, and Trump was right about everything. Shocking? Not so much. But somebody might want to check in on the panickens.
Now, over at CNN, they had a Harvard expert on this morning, scrambling to basically react to the report showing that core inflation is now at its lowest level since COVID. Good luck to the Democrats trying to spin this one.
Inflation's been very high. It's stayed high. It has not been coming down. But, you know, people were expecting it to be above 3%. It was well below 3%. I mean, I think the president will take this as good news. The investors will think that interest rates will get cut more. So, you know, it was a positive news. There's no other way to spin it.
There certainly isn't. And Trump? He's playing Santa this Christmas. He just wrote a bonus check to 1.45 million U.S. service members that are proudly serving our country. They'll soon be receiving what's called a warrior dividend, in other words, a Christmas bonus
funded by Trump's tariffs. In honor of our nation's founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776. Think of that.
And the checks are already on the way.
Now most rational human beings would hear that and say, great, our troops deserve it, full stop. But Democrats? Of course not. They immediately went digging for a reason to be offended over this,
because these are the same people that cheer boys competing in girls' sports, they put illegal immigrants ahead of American citizens, and they bent over backwards to defend narco-terrorists, MS-13 gang members, the list goes on and on. And now suddenly, they have to find a problem

Get started freewith Trump giving the military a little extra money for Christmas, because now, it's not enough.
He can promote 1776 costs all he want and giving out a check that worked for him the first time. 1776, that's less than a rent check in D.C. I don't even know what the impact of that
is gonna be long-term.
Some would argue something is better than nothing, which is what they got from Biden. And if affordability is top of mind for Democrats, then why is DC rent so high? And something tells me the young men and women, especially those with young children that are serving this country,
will be absolutely thrilled at the thought of a check for 1700 right before the holidays. Goodness gracious, they deserve it. Thank you for your service and enjoy that check. Meantime, Christmas may also come early for kids who have been negatively impacted by Democrat policies
that allow doctors to mutilate our children. Last night, the US House passed legislation to ban transgender surgeries, hormones, and medical treatments for minors. Get this, the vote was 216 to 211. I mean, this should be not a controversial vote.
Protecting children should be the easiest vote in America. And yet every single Democrat voted against it. Every one. And to make it worse, four Republicans decided to join them. So let's name names, because voters deserve to know exactly who folded.
Mike Lawler of New York, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Mike Kennedy of Utah, and Gape Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Mike Kennedy of Utah, and Gabe Evans of Colorado. Congratulations, gentlemen. You sided with Democrats who believe parents should sit down, shut up, and stay out of their children's health care decisions.
Even for Republicans, this is extreme. Are we really attempting to lock up parents and doctors. Your kids' medical care is none of their damn business. We should call this obsession with your kids and what treatment they're getting in the pediatrician's office what it is. It's creepy. It's a creepy obsession and we've had to deal with it for years. The science is clear. Evidence-based, medically necessary care for transgender youth is safe, it's effective,
it's supported by every major medical association in the United States.
Maybe she should meet Precia. Precia was just 15 years old when she sought help for anorexia and borderline personality disorder. And instead of real care, she walked out of her very first appointment with testosterone and the promise that transitioning would fix everything.
Well, it didn't. It made the trauma worse. Years later, Prisha finally told the truth about what happened to her. In a recent post, she actually wrote, and these are her own words, quote, I used to think I would be trans forever, but it turns out I was just a victim of grooming and unethical doctors. No child is Trans. This bill isn't about politics. It isn't about culture wars. It's about drawing a basic moral line.
Adults do not need to experiment on children's bodies, period. Now, the good news is the fight is hopefully over. The bill will now head to the Senate, and if it passes there, it'll go straight to 47's desk for a signature.
Also working on this, HHS Secretary John F. Kennedy Jr. He is joining the fight to protect our children with this major announcement this morning.
Today we are taking six decisive actions guided by gold standard science and the week one executive order from President Trump to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation. This morning I signed a declaration, sex-rejecting procedures are neither safe
nor effective treatment for children with gender dysphoria. This declaration is a clear directive to providers to follow the science and the overwhelming body of evidence that these procedures hurt, not help children.
Now the declaration has a couple of rules here. The first rule, it bars any hospital who participates in Medicare or Medicaid, which is just about every hospital, from performing these dangerous and harmful procedures. The second rule prohibits the federal Medicaid dollars from funding the sex projecting procedures on minors.
HHS, they're also moving to reverse the Biden administration's attempt to include gender dysphoria within the definition of disability, which the secretary says serve the commercial interest of these multi-billion dollar industries that are preying on American children. The days of them using our children to line their pockets? It's over.

Get started freeAnd thank goodness for that. Also making headlines today is Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, who says he's officially out. He announced his resignation on X, posting this message, quote, I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January. I want to thank President Trump, A.G. Bondi,
and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose. Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you. God bless America and all those who defend her." Now Bogino has recently hinted at a possible departure after telling Fox News how being
away from his family has been extremely difficult.
I gave up everything for this. I mean, you know, my wife is struggling and I'm not a victim. I'm not Jim Comey. It's fine. I did this and I'm proud I did it. But if you think we're there for tea and crumpets, well, I mean, Cash is there all day. We share our offices are linked. He turns on the faucet. I hear it. He's there.
It gets in like six o'clock in the morning. He doesn't he uses the gym. I work out in my apartment. But I stare at these four walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated, divorced. And it's hard. I mean, you know, we love each other and it's hard to be apart.
Look, that alone would be enough reason for many of us to walk away.
But let's be honest, that's probably not the whole story. Because remember this little nugget? A source tells Fox News tonight that the FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has not been seen in the office since Wednesday after a heated argument with Attorney General Pam Bondi at the White House.
That argument reportedly centered around the disastrous rollout of the Epstein information. You'll remember Pam Bondi, she publicly claimed that the Epstein list was on her desk, only to later say, there's no client list at all. That didn't just upset Bongino, it infuriated him.
And Bongino, he's not a disconnected bureaucrat, right? He's been in constant contact with the American people for years through his podcast. He understands Trump's base. He knows exactly how angry voters are about the lack of transparency, accountability, and even follow-through, especially on Epstein. So when that rollout just blew up, Bongino didn't shrug it off.
He went to bat for the American people, and that apparently did not go over well. Now, the president, he made a brief statement on the announcement of the deputy director's departure.
Listen. Oh, Dan, Dan did a great job. I think he wants to go back to his show.
I have no doubt. Bongino's audience cannot wait to hear him back on the air and even more importantly, his family gets him back where he belongs. Now, Dan, he stepped up, he sacrificed, he told the truth when it mattered,
even when it came at a personal cost. And for that, the American people owe him real gratitude. So thank you, Dan Bongino, for serving with courage and conviction. The Democrats, they could learn a little something from you because transparency doesn't seem to even be in their playbook. Take Ilhan Omar, for example,
who is in damage control mode after getting caught telling a whopper on live television, all in an effort to smear ICE as, you probably can guess it, racist. Now, before we show you how fast that story fell apart, here's how the whole mess started.
A target, he did get pulled over by ICE agents and once he was able to produce his passport ID, they did let him go.
So your son went to Target last night with his passport.
He always carries it with him.
In case he gets pulled over. Yes. Which he did by ICE.

Get started freeYes. This coming from the same family that brought us the marry your brother to get into the country scandal. So you'll forgive me if I don't grab a tissue for this sob story. Okay, let's put opinions aside for a moment though and do something radical. Let's fact check.
Because DHS put out a statement that completely nukes this claim. It reads, quote, ICE has absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar's son. With no evidence, it is shameful that Congresswoman Omar would level accusations to demonize ICE as part of a PR stunt. Allegations that ICE engages in racial profiling are disgusting, reckless, and categorically false. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are legally in the U.S., not their skin color, race, or ethnicity. Under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, DHS law enforcement uses reasonable suspicion to make arrests.
Now just to play devil's advocate for half a second, let's pretend the stop actually happened, even by Ilhan's own story. Her son showed a passport and the interaction ended. That's not racism. That's law enforcement doing exactly what it's supposed to do. I mean, calling routine policing racist,
that doesn't advance civil rights. It cheapens them and it insults everyone that is watching and can still connect the dots. Let's see what happens now when Ilhan Omar is confronted with the facts.
DHS says they have no record of ICE pulling over your son. Why did you lie about ICE targeting your son?
One more time, why did you lie about ICE targeting your son, Congresswoman?
And just like that, silence. No outrage, no explanation, no receipts. Funny how loud the accusations are, until the facts show up. But don't worry, she got another chance to explain herself, this time on CNN. The Department of Homeland Security says, and I'm quoting them,
ICE has absolutely zero record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar's son and have accused you of seeking to quote demonize ICE as part of a PR stunt. Their words.
What do you say to that?
Well, if ICE is saying that they have documentation of every single person that they have pulled over in Minneapolis, we would love to see that record because we've certainly, myself and the governor, have been asking them to share information with us. The ways in which they have interacted with Minnesotans and they have not been able to provide a single information so it is amazing that they're able to put out this statement to
deafen in saying definitely that they did not pull my son over when they haven't been able to answer anything else and ice has been known to lie lie when it comes to their enforcement.
Did you catch that? No mention of her son being pulled over? No details. Just a blanket claim that ICE lies. Therefore, you should believe her. Trust me, not the evidence. And maybe, just maybe, before launching the next made-for-TV accusation, she should take a look at the polls. Because Ilhan Omar, she's currently the most unpopular member of Congress in Minnesota with a, you ready for this? 52% disapproval rating.
Turns out voters don't like being lied to. Who knew? All right, switching gears here. Let's turn to the case involving the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle. Their 32 year old son, Nick Reiner, remains in custody
after being charged with two counts of first degree murder. The latest video shows Nick walking the streets near his parents' home the night of the murder. Now, yesterday, Romy and her brother Jake, they released their first statement since the murder of their parents. It reads in part, quote, words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain that we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner,
is something that no one should ever experience. They weren't just our parents, they were our best friends. Now, Nick Reiner's next court appearance is scheduled for January 7th, just after the new year. As for competency, he's gonna likely undergo evaluations by experts on both sides.
And depending on those findings and his eventual plea, he could be treated or medicated to ensure that he's actually able to participate in his own defense, a process that will most likely take months. Now, I want to be clear about something. There's been a lot of attention on how President Trump chose to respond to Rob Reiner's death. And I contemplated going down this rabbit hole, but after talking to somebody the other day who was clearly frustrated like myself over how the president decided to handle this moment,
I realized that not everybody's aware of what exactly prompted Trump to react in the manner that he did. First and foremost, I do not agree with how he handled this, and that matters, because supporting somebody
doesn't require blind loyalty, right? It doesn't mean defending every reaction every time. With that said, it's also important to be honest about where the anger came from. This didn't happen in a vacuum. See Rob Reiner spent years launching some of the most vicious, unhinged attacks against President Trump.

Watch this.
I'm Rob Reiner, and America, we've got a problem. Putin's government attacked our democracy by interfering in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump become president. That is not in dispute. It has been verified by all U.S. intelligence agencies, the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee and the U.S. Justice Department.
And that wasn't a one-off. Reiner repeated that lie over and over again, which you can see on your screen publicly, proudly, and without apology. He also had no problem saying things like, and I quote, F all of you MAGA A-holes. And then there was this.
We have a racist in the White House. We have a sexist in the White House.
And he is tearing away at the fabric of our democracy. The single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States. He's mentally unfit.
And that's not all of the tape. That is the quick version of it. You're starting to see why the president didn't exactly offer warm and fuzzy words. Now, Rob Reiner, he basically said Trump should be arrested for sedition and treason, that it was time for him to leave the White House and enter prison, that Trump was a symbol of hate, over and over again he spewed the same venom. Now let me be very clear, none of that justifies what the president said. And in my opinion, he should have handled the tragic murder of Rob Reiner and his wife
with a little more class, the same respect many of us wish Democrats had shown when Charlie Kirk was killed. With that said, I don't agree with Rob Reiner's views. I strongly oppose his rhetoric. Nobody should speak the way he did. But nobody deserves to be brutally murdered.
My heart absolutely aches for the family he leaves behind. I hope they can find some level of peace during this difficult time, especially around the holidays. All right, up next, details on the $10 billion lawsuit President Trump just dropped on the BBC.
Plus, new FBI emails emerged showing agents warned Biden's Justice Department they did not have probable cause for the Mar-a-Lago raid. Oh, it gets juicy. All those details and so much more in this next video if you missed it from just the other day. Go ahead, click on it now.
I'll see you over there. I'll see you over there. Thanks for watching, everybody.
