Dinesh D’Souza and Michael Moore have something in common: Both evoked Adolf Hitler in their recent films.
Moore did it, over and again, in his 2018 documentary “Fahrenheit 11/9,” a cartoonish assault on President Donald Trump.
D’Souza opens “<a href="https://policestatefilm.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Police State</a>,” his latest docudrama, with images of der Fuhrer along with Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao.
Subtle.
Yet, while Moore strained to make any coherent connection to his target, D’Souza’s “Police State” quickly settles into a more credible series of allegations. And he has the headlines to back them up.
The combination of a two-tiered justice system, government-led censorship and an effort to muzzle &#8220;Ma and Pa&#8221; conservatives have America steering toward a “fledgling police state.”
D’Souza, a savvy marketer, knew adding the word “fledgling” would strip his film of its marketing pop. It’s the phrase he uses repeatedly in his new docudrama, a collision of staged reenactments and harrowing talking head interviews.
<div id="attachment_643489" style="width: 399px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-643489" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-643489 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/10/ssdd-389x576.jpg" alt="" width="389" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/10/ssdd-389x576.jpg 389w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/10/ssdd-202x300.jpg 202w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/10/ssdd.jpg 452w" sizes="(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px" />IMDB. D&#8217;Souza Media.</div>
The film starts fast, notwithstanding the roll call of 20th century monsters. D’Souza knows few, if any, liberals will watch his new film, but he still could have warmed up to the topics at hand.
He finds a bipartisan entry point by noting how President George W. Bush’s War on Terror tactics embraced after 9/11 eventually turned away from global actors to the home front. And we didn’t see it coming.
Some of “Police State” will feel familiar to conservatives who aggressively read news outlets outside the warped mainstream. Republicans are keenly aware of social media giants blocking inconvenient opinions, no matter how accurate they turn out to be.
Or how Hunter Biden remains free and clear (for now) while former President Donald Trump faces a crush of serious indictments.
Perhaps that’s why the filmmaker recruited actor Nick Searcy to play the literal face of FBI corruption. The “Justified” alum anchors the dramatic recreations, playing an FBI boss overseeing the smackdown on Joe and Jane Sixpack.
Churchgoers. January 6th protesters. Moms who aren’t keen on their children reading dirty books at school.
Ironically, Searcy’s 2022 film “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-film-capitol-punishment-counters-medias-jan-6-insurrection-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Capitol Punishment”</a> offers a companion piece to “Police State.” That film showed actual footage of FBI agents barging into suspects’ homes, guns drawn as if they were taking in a terrorist cell, not a beleaguered Trump fanatic.
“Police State” features commentary from Rep. Jim Jordan, Sen. Rand Paul and pundit Dan Bongino, the latter offering a dash of the theatrical. Some of D’Souza’s questions fall into the “leading” category, but the answers leave a mark.
And yet the film hardly needs extra razzle or dazzle. The facts laid out are horrifying enough.
Consider:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The January 6th protestor who hung himself before an over-the-top charge against him could be thrown out of court, according to his grieving aunt.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">A concerned mother whose attempts to speak her mind about her children’s school curriculum led to FBI agents breaking into her home.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">A senior citizen, <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/06/23/fbi-tears-new-yorkers-life-into-shreds-devine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph Bolanos</a>, gets the cancellation treatment when the local media reports on his microscopic ties to the Jan. 6 protests. That was easy compared to how the FBI treated the pillar of his community.</li>
</ul>
Whistleblowers power much of the narrative. 
Rogue FBI agents Kyle Seraphin and Steve Friend describe the incentives employed to round up real and imagined domestic terrorists. Former Big Tech workers share how some of the most influential platforms in our culture censor opinions considered unwelcome. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter-files" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter Files, anyone?</a>
Health and Human Services (HHS) whistleblower Tara Lee Rodas <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/rodas-testimony.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describes the atrocities</a> tied to President Joe Biden’s open border policies, including children being sex trafficked at will.
“Police State” understands that facts and figures only take a project like this so far. It’s why we meet folks like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pro-life-activist-prosecuted-by-biden-administration-running-for-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pro-life activist Mark Houck</a> who nearly spent a very long time in jail for pushing an abortion clinic worker after the man verbally harassed his son.
Houck volunteered to turn himself in to the authorities. The authorities opted to raid his home instead, snatching him away from his wife and seven horrified children as if he were a drug cartel kingpin.
Previous D’Souza films delivered the facts and agitprop, even for those who lean to the Right. The pundit and author’s film canon delivers furious broadsides against the Left.
Last year’s “2000 Mules,” which alleged an intricate pattern of voter fraud helped sway the 2020 presidential election, found a subdued D’Souza raising alarming questions about voting integrity.
“Police State” offers a blend of the D’Souza old and newer style. There’s a level of showmanship that’s unmistakable, combined with testimony from people who have suffered at the government’s hands.
D’Souza’s visual style &#8211; shaky camera work combined with sly graphics &#8211; underlines the themes in play. That, plus the bleak color canvas, gives the story a dystopian appeal. The recreations have a sharper feel than past D’Souza efforts, his filmmaking chops growing over time.
The docudrama wraps on an optimistic note, an odd tonal choice given what preceded it.
It’s a shame D’Souza’s conservative brand will keep most progressive viewers far away from “Police State.” Even if he toned down his partisan framing they wouldn’t give his film a fair shake. 
Americans from both parties need to see what’s happening to America, and why even a fledgling police state won’t stop with just one party.

Political commentator Dan Bongino has made clear that he holds no illusions about the threat Hamas poses for not only the Jews, but the West in general, issuing a series of posts forcefully condemning any hint of moral equivalence or appeasement when it comes to the terrorist group and its supporters.
“The same people who want to kill the Jews, want to kill you too. Your ‘coexist’ bumper sticker won’t save you,” Bongino tweeted Tuesday, the latest in a series of statements voicing unyielding opposition to Hamas and his contempt for those who would defend the terror group.
“History is so much clearer to me now,&#8221; the former Secret Service agent wrote earlier that morning. &#8220;Now it all makes sense. Now I see how it happened.”

‘The Same People Who Want To Kill The Jews Want To Kill You Too’: Dan Bongino’s No-Nonsense Tweets On Hamas

Radio host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-a-sad-day-dan-bongino-exits-fox-news-effective-immediately" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dan Bongino</a> said on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump should refuse to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-agrees-to-200000-bond-other-conditions-in-fulton-county-indictment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post bond</a> when he surrenders to Fulton County, Georgia, authorities. Instead, he said that Trump should force District Attorney Fani Willis&#8217; hand and make her put him in jail.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/enemies-of-the-united-states-are-watching-this-dan-bongino-torches-beggar-in-chief-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bongino</a>, who previously served in the NYPD and the United States Secret Service, made the comments during his show and argued that &#8220;crazy times&#8221; called for &#8220;different, crazy, bold approaches.&#8221;

&#8220;Folks, I don&#8217;t think the Trump team should post the bond. I don&#8217;t,&#8221; he began. &#8220;This may sound like a crazy idea, but folks, we&#8217;re living in crazy times. And crazy times require different, crazy, bold approaches.&#8221;
&#8220;Fani Willis wants to be a smarta** tyrant, little socialist communist like she is down in Fulton County, Georgia? Don&#8217;t post. Don&#8217;t post the bond,&#8221; Bongino continued. &#8220;You&#8217;re gonna jail him? Let&#8217;s elect our first political prisoner. Go ahead. Go to jail. Let the Secret Service shut the entire jail down, and we&#8217;ll see how long you&#8217;re willing to keep this charade going.&#8221;
&#8220;Let them put him in jail for a bit — folks, I know it sounds crazy,&#8221; he added, saying that the Secret Service had the authority under federal law to declare anything a protected area — even a jail — and that if the former president were to spend any time there, they would have to do that.
&#8220;You may think it&#8217;s a crazy idea,&#8221; he said again, adding, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think so. Folks, you&#8217;ve seen people around the world take a stand like this. And it&#8217;s easy for me to say, I get it, I wouldn&#8217;t be the one in a prison cell &#8212; but you want to send a message? Let&#8217;s see, let&#8217;s see what happens.&#8221;
Bongino went on to suggest that if Trump was put in jail, people should protest outside the jail every day. &#8220;Make them put you in jail and make them show America their a**es and show America who they really are. And let&#8217;s see how long this lasts.&#8221;

In a move that sent shockwaves through the media sphere, Fox News <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-tucker-carlson-out-at-fox-news-channel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced on Monday</a> that the network and Carlson &#8220;agreed to part ways,&#8221; and the host&#8217;s last show was Friday.
“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,&#8221; Fox News said in a statement, adding that &#8220;Fox News Tonight&#8221; will air live at 8 p.m. ET as an interim show helmed by &#8220;rotating&#8221; network personalities until a new host is named.
Notably, Carlson ended his last show by telling viewers he would be back on Monday. As of press time, Carlson has yet to comment on his situation.

Upon sharing the development about his time ending at the network, Bongino assured his listeners that there was &#8220;no acrimony&#8221; between himself and Fox, but rather the two sides &#8220;just couldn’t come to terms on an extension. That’s really it.&#8221;
On Monday, while reacting to Carlson&#8217;s exit from Fox News, Bongino said he had &#8220;no inside knowledge&#8221; about the situation surrounding his former colleague.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t even care to speculate about what happened. But I suspect Tucker Carlson will be getting a lot of offers from a lot of people,&#8221; Bongino said.

Nationally syndicated radio and podcast host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/dan-bongino/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dan Bongino</a> confirmed on Thursday that he had parted ways with Fox News.
Bongino, a former New York City police officer and U.S. Secret Service agent, made the announcement on his <a href="https://rumble.com/v2jeefl-some-important-personal-news-ep.-1995-04202023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> Thursday, explaining that the network had been good to him — and good for him — over the last decade, but that recent contract negotiations had simply come up short.
Prior to his exit, Bongino hosted a weekly Saturday evening show on the flagship network called &#8220;Unfiltered,&#8221; and his &#8220;Canceled in the USA&#8221; ran on the network&#8217;s subscription-based Fox Nation.

&#8220;The show ending last week was tough. It’s not some big conspiracy theory, I promise you. There’s no acrimony,&#8221; Bongino said. &#8220;We just couldn’t come to terms on an extension. That’s really it.&#8221;
&#8220;I really enjoyed myself there. They were good for me for ten years,&#8221; he continued, adding, &#8220;It’s a sad day. They did give me the opportunity to do one last show, I don’t want you to think they showed me the door. That’s on me, not on them, but I thought it was best to go this way for now.&#8221;
Fox News also provided a statement, saying, &#8220;We thank Dan for his contributions and wish him success in his future endeavors.&#8221;

As Forbes noted in a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/markjoyella/2023/04/20/dan-bongino-out-at-fox-news/?dg&amp;sh=144b39504b59" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> on the popular host&#8217;s exit, ratings were not likely the cause for the split – Bongino&#8217;s Saturday show regularly topped the ratings, taking the top spot in prime time for the first quarter of 2023.
&#8220;We were the number one show 90 percent of the time. We had a great team,&#8221; Bongino agreed, and while he acknowledged that the timing was not optimal, he assured his audience that his departure was solely the result of failed contract negotiations and not because of the lawsuit that Fox News just settled with Dominion Voting Systems.
In place of &#8220;Unfiltered,&#8221; Fox News will air &#8220;Lawrence Jones Cross Country&#8221; this coming Saturday — and the network plans to announce a permanent replacement in the coming weeks.

Dan Bongino Exits Fox News After Contract Negotiations Fall Apart

Radio Host

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-brass-barred-agents-from-probing-hunters-laptop-whistleblowers-tell-lawmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI whistleblower</a> warned that the bureau has been transformed from a law enforcement agency to an intelligence-gathering operation that spies on law-abiding Americans to help advance a political agenda and said thousands of agents and employees feel betrayed by the bureau’s leadership.
Kyle Seraphin told podcaster and radio host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-youtube-permanently-bans-dan-bongino/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dan Bongino</a> over a bombshell, two-part interview that agents are routinely directed to spy on Americans with little or no basis, the bureau’s management ranks are hopelessly politicized by inexperienced corporate climbers, and that hundreds of experienced agents are staying on despite their disgust simply to collect their pensions.
“The number of guys who say, ‘I don’t agree with what’s going on here, but I’ve got three years to retire,’ it’s heartbreaking,” said Seraphin, a five-year veteran and former Air Force member who is currently suspended without pay and unable to seek another job without quitting or getting the FBI’s permission.
<iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" title="Interview with FBI Whistleblower Kyle Seraphin - Part 1 (Ep. 1857) - The Dan Bongino Show" src="https://rumble.com/embed/v1ih1rr/?pub=4#?secret=oyPGCDr6X6" data-secret="oyPGCDr6X6" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0"></iframe>
In one particularly poignant segment, Seraphin recalled being sent to Washington, D.C.’s Holocaust Memorial Museum as part of his orientation. New agents, he said, were told that the atrocity could not have happened without the participation of “minor government officials” supported by local and federal law enforcement.
“If anybody refuses to get with the program, it doesn’t happen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The answer, ‘I’m just following orders,’ the Nuremberg piece, it doesn’t fly. We know better.”
Seraphin said he was adhering to that training when he came forward but is now being punished for doing so.
“We’re supposed to know that if they ask you to do something that is illegal, immoral, or unethical, following orders is not an excuse,” he said.
Seraphin said he believes he was already a marked man inside the bureau for refusing to get a COVID vaccination after having contracted the virus in late 2020. He was given a religious exemption, but he helped organize as many as 300 FBI employees who also objected to the government mandate.
But last November, after Attorney General Merrick Garland in testimony to lawmakers denied that the Department of Justice was targeting education-activist parents with law enforcement tools reserved for terrorists, Seraphin says he blew the whistle. Seraphin, who previously worked in the bureau’s Washington field office but by last year was stationed in New Mexico, went to his local member of Congress with an email that had been widely circulated within the bureau. The email, he said, relayed Garland’s orders to use Patriot Act counterterrorism tools to target parents at school board meetings through a tag called “EDUOFFICIALS.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nsbas-first-draft-of-domestic-terrorism-letter-called-for-feds-to-sic-army-national-guard-and-its-military-police-on-parents-independent-review-shows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The scandal blew up</a> when it was revealed that the DOJ issued the orders after coordinating with the White House and the National School Boards Association to vilify as “domestic terrorists” parents who objected to the teaching of radical gender and race theories. The school board association later apologized as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/25-states-have-now-left-national-school-boards-association-as-nebraska-departs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dozens of state members left in protest</a>.
“That’s when you become part of political hatchet jobs, and I didn’t sign up for that, and nobody I know signed up for that either,” Seraphin said. “That’s not what people want to get involved in.”
Bongino praised Seraphin for coming forward and predicted that the whistleblower floodgates will open at the FBI.
“Having worked with a number of patriotic FBI professionals in the past, I knew it was only a matter of time before patriots like Kyle stepped forward to expose the unfortunate rot at the Bureau,” Bongino, a best-selling author and former U.S. Secret Service agent, told The Daily Wire.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) says at least <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-whistleblower-alleges-bureau-took-agents-off-child-sex-abuse-cases-to-pursue-political-probes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">14 whistleblowers have contacted his office</a> to complain about how partisan politics has infected the bureau and turned it against conservative Americans. Allegations include silencing investigations of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-brass-barred-agents-from-probing-hunters-laptop-whistleblowers-tell-lawmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden&#8217;s damning laptop</a>, manipulating crime statistics, and spying on law-abiding Americans. Recently, one whistleblower, Steve Friend, alleged that the bureau is under orders to inflate the number of domestic terrorism cases. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-suspends-whistleblower-who-criticized-bureaus-handling-of-january-6-investigations-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friend was suspended</a> after his name was leaked to a media outlet.

&#8220;We now understand based on what we&#8217;ve learned that he&#8217;s been suspended, which appears to be some kind of retaliation,&#8221; Jordan <a href="https://justthenews.com/accountability/whistleblowers/key-lawmaker-worried-fbi-whistleblowers-facing-retaliation-evidence">told</a> the John Solomon Reports podcast. &#8220;The law says that whistleblowers, agents coming forward as whistleblowers, are protected by the law. There&#8217;s not supposed to be retaliation.&#8221;
Seraphin said “more than people than you think” are coming forward and that many have left the bureau as, in their view, it has become part of a partisan agenda. He said agents qualify for pensions of up to $60,000 a year after putting in 20 years, and many that are more than halfway toward qualifying are just hanging on despite their disgust with leadership under Director Christopher Wray.
Seraphin said several agents he knows took part in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dan-bongino-explodes-over-fbi-raid-on-mar-a-lago-offers-solution-to-fix-the-problem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">August 8 raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home</a>, which he said he would’ve refused to participate in.
“I’ve got friends that I don’t speak to after that,” he said. “I assume they were part of it. I don’t know what happened, but you guys forgot to throw the B.S. flag on that.
“You ask me to go raid President Obama’s house, you ask me to raid President Bush’s house, it’s not happening,” he continued. “It’s not happening. I’m sorry, it’s not happening. I’m not doing that. I’m going to be, probably pretty vocal. That’s probably going to be my last day.”

FBI Whistleblower Reveals Widespread Disgust Inside Bureau In Bombshell Bongino Interview

Mar-a-Lago

Whistleblowers

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fox-news">Fox News</a> contributor Dan Bongino erupted Monday afternoon after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a> executed a search warrant at the Florida home of former President Donald Trump.
The investigation is centered around classified material that Trump brought with him to Mar-a-Lago from the White House.
&#8220;Yeah, I mean, you think this is some third world bulls**t right here. Let me say it again. Third world bulls**t. I mean every word of that,&#8221; Bongino said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t care that it&#8217;s cable news. I was a federal agent. I raised my right hand and I swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and I love this country.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a freakin&#8217; disgrace, a disgrace. We don&#8217;t live in Cuba. We don&#8217;t live under Kim Jong Un. We live in a constitutional republic, a representative democracy,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Hillary Clinton paid off a bunch of foreign agents, her team, literally to fabricate a story that occupied the nation for four years. What&#8217;s she doing right now? Getting a manicure in freakin Chappaqua. She&#8217;s not doing squat. Nothing.&#8221;
&#8220;Hunter Biden is having sex on tape while doing crack, while doing crack, and what is he doing? He&#8217;s living in a Malibu mansion,&#8221; Bongino continued. &#8220;The management of the FBI has now shredded any single shred, sliver of credibility this agency had left. Nobody will take them seriously from this point on. It is over.&#8221;
&#8220;You is you cannot tell me we still live in a constitutional republic and not the freakin&#8217; third world when you have Hillary Clinton paying foreign agents to interfere with an election, people lying under oath repeatedly, Hunter Biden doing crack on tape,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And what happens? Where are the federal agents? They&#8217;re not in Malibu. They&#8217;re not in Chappaqua. They&#8217;re in Mar a Lago.&#8221;
Bongino concluded by saying that &#8220;the solution&#8221; to the problem was for voters to show up in the midterm elections and vote for Republicans, even if they don&#8217;t like Republicans, because he said that Democrats were the source of people&#8217;s problems right now.
&#8220;Here&#8217;s the solution, last thing, we have now got to win in 2022. You have no choice now, folks,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t like the swampy Republicans. I don&#8217;t like them either. Republicans may not be the solution to your problems, but Democrats are certainly the cause of all your problems right now. If there was ever a clarion call to remove your ass from the seat and go vote in 2022, this is it.&#8221;

Dan Bongino Explodes Over FBI Raid On Mar-A-Lago, Offers ‘Solution’ To Fix The Problem

Fox News host Dan Bongino unloaded on President Joe Biden on Saturday, referring to the Commander In Chief as the &#8220;Beggar In Chief&#8221; and accusing him of showing weakness at every turn.
The former Secret Service agent argued during Saturday evening&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;Unfiltered with Dan Bongino&#8221; that Biden&#8217;s response to every crisis – whether it be the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/under-bidens-open-border-policies-the-countrys-deadliest-human-smuggling-tragedy/">U.S.-Mexico border</a>, gas prices, inflation, or Ukraine — was to blame others for its existence and then beg others for help in fixing things.

&#8220;I wish this monologue wasn&#8217;t necessary,&#8221; Bongino began, saying that he loved his country and for that reason alone, he wanted even those he opposed politically to do what was best for the United States. &#8220;I&#8217;m a citizen, I love this country, I love this place. I pledge allegiance to the flag every day, I have kids who are going to grow up here.&#8221;
&#8220;I wish American leadership under Joe Biden was not a complete embarrassment, simply for the sake of my country and, as I said, my kids,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But in the first 18 months of Biden&#8217;s term, it&#8217;s totally evident now, he&#8217;s become the beggar-in-chief.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s always begging,&#8221; Bongino continued. &#8220;Did you notice that? He&#8217;s always begging someone for something. The guy&#8217;s not a leader. He&#8217;s showing just how weak he is on the world stage, on the domestic stage, everywhere, and sadly, he&#8217;s making all of us, America, look weaker too.&#8221;
He went on to list several examples — the fact that Biden responded to bad behavior from Iran by attempting to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/while-biden-goes-soft-on-iran-theyre-sending-weapon-carrying-drones-to-russia-report/">cater to the nation&#8217;s demands</a> in a renegotiated nuclear deal, the way his administration was handling the immigration crisis at the southern border, among others. He also pointed out the fact that Biden had just returned from Saudi Arabia — where he had reportedly pressed the nation to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/adam-schiff-rips-biden-for-fist-bumping-saudi-crown-prince/">produce more oil</a> in order to drive down gas prices.
He then argued that previous Republican presidents — Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump — had shown strength on the world stage.
&#8220;People are watching, and I don&#8217;t mean like Robert DeNiro in &#8216;Meet the Fockers,&#8217; I mean, like enemies of the United States are watching this,&#8221; he concluded.

Actress and former MMA fighter Gina Carano addressed the Left&#8217;s attempt to cancel her and responded to rumors of whether she will fight MMA star Ronda Rousey during a new interview.
Carano shared the remarks during an interview on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Unfiltered&#8221; with Dan Bongino on Sunday.
&#8220;I think they tried to make an example out of me, and in the process, they made an example out of themselves,&#8221; Carano <a href="https://video.foxnews.com/v/6308520636112#sp=show-clips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Bongino.
The former star of &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; shared her efforts to push back on mainstream pressure to star in a new film with The Daily Wire called &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/subscribe-totp?utm_campaign=totp&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=googlesearch&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;cid=totp&amp;mid=g&amp;xid=0&amp;utm_term=terror%20on%20the%20prairie&amp;utm_campaign=dw_conversions_subscriptions_totp_na&amp;utm_source=adwords&amp;utm_medium=ppc&amp;hsa_acc=6411461344&amp;hsa_cam=17480832228&amp;hsa_grp=138501562515&amp;hsa_ad=603753465797&amp;hsa_src=g&amp;hsa_tgt=kwd-1463972212076&amp;hsa_kw=terror%20on%20the%20prairie&amp;hsa_mt=p&amp;hsa_net=adwords&amp;hsa_ver=3&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwh-CVBhB8EiwAjFEPGeDwXh_IMPPr189k2vVEk-09KanxQpKadL34OXvQZ8vu6qhap5B9DRoCY38QAvD_BwE">Terror on the Prairie</a>.&#8221;
&#8220;When you don&#8217;t have anything to apologize for, and you&#8217;re communicating in a very open and honest way, I just kept on thinking that there&#8217;s going to be other little girls like me, there&#8217;s going to be other people like me, that aren&#8217;t going to be able to handle what I went through as well,&#8221; Carano said. &#8220;So I figured if I can&#8217;t go through this, how am I supposed to expect anyone else to?&#8221;
Bongino also addressed growing rumors that Carano could appear in an upcoming MMA fight with Rousey.
&#8220;Ronda Rousey respects you so much. She says you&#8217;re the only person she would return to MMA to fight. Are we going to see Gina Carano lacing up the gloves again?&#8221; he asked.
&#8220;I just never put it past me. It could happen,&#8221; Carano said. &#8220;But it would have to be like six months from now, because I have a lot of stuff I need to do, but my fight is that I really want to create, I want to direct, I want to produce, I want to give artists — I want to give Ronda a job in one of my movies. So maybe there&#8217;s something we can do there.&#8221;
The speculation regarding a bout between Carano and Rousey began earlier this month when Rousy mentioned she would potentially return to fight, but for only one person.
&#8220;There&#8217;s only one person I would come back for,&#8221; Rousey said on an episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAuNbbAwL1U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Kurt Angle Show</a>.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, I&#8217;ve said it a million times. It&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s something new. [I&#8217;d come back] for Gina, man—Gina Carano,&#8221; she added.
Carano finished with a 7-1 record between 2006 to 2009. Rousey holds a 12-2 record, being the first woman inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018.
Rousey acknowledged Carano as a person who influenced her career during the interview.
&#8220;She&#8217;s the reason why I got into fighting. She&#8217;s the reason why I knew it was a possibility. I will always be forever grateful,&#8221; Rousey said. &#8220;If she ever was like, &#8216;Ronda, I want to fight you tomorrow at 205 pounds&#8217; — like, whatever the hell she&#8217;d want.&#8221;

Political pundit Dan Bongino <a href="https://rumble.com/v10vyv3-dan-bongino-got-a-message-from-someone-who-works-at-disney-what-she-told-hi.html">says</a> he received a message from a Disney insider who told him the company is tracking the negative feedback they’re receiving from people upset with the company&#8217;s response to Florida’s new education law. (Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for kids entertainment content.)
The law in question makes it illegal for public schools to instruct on gender identity or sexuality with young children in kindergarten through third grade. After it passed, Disney promised to work to repeal it and held an in-house townhall in which an executive producer admitted to having a “no-so-secret gay agenda” and boasted about adding &#8220;queer&#8221; content to children’s entertainment.
Those actions are sparking angry calls from outraged parents, claims Bongino. “[The insider] is telling me Disney is tracking all of the calls complaining about their support for sexualizing kids in kindergarten,” he said on his <a href="https://rumble.com/v10vyv3-dan-bongino-got-a-message-from-someone-who-works-at-disney-what-she-told-hi.html">podcast</a> Thursday. “The woman told me that the calls are overwhelming.”
A new <a href="https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/news/nat-issues-disney-business-0410/">survey</a> from the Trafalgar group supports the claims of Bongino’s source.
The conservative nonprofit Convention of States commissioned poll of likely voters to find out about their feelings on Disney since leaked videos showed an executive producer mentioning a “not-so-secret gay agenda” and boasted about adding &#8220;queer&#8221; content to children’s entertainment.
The poll asked likely voters if &#8220;news reports [that] reveal Disney is focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas” made them more or less likely to do business with Disney. Nearly 70 percent of respondents, including about half of Democrats and 73 percent of independents, said they were “less likely.” Only nine percent said it made them more likely to support the company.
A majority of every group (78% of Republicans, 72% of independents, and 59% of Democrats) said that the comments Disney staffers made in the leaked videos make them more likely to look for alternative sources of family-friendly entertainment.
Mouse House heirs aren’t doing much to restore the company’s public image in the eyes of parents wary of the company’s stance on LGBT content in children’s entertainment. This week, Disney heir Charlee Corra, whose stepfather was the grandson of company co-founder Roy O. Disney, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/disney-heir-comes-publicly-transgender-condemns-anti-lgbtq-bills-rcna23888">came out</a> as transgender and expressed regret for not doing more to fight Florida’s bill before it passed. Meanwhile, Walt Disney’s granddaughter, Abigail, penned an op-ed for <a href="https://archive.ph/pDII0">The Washington Post</a> calling on the company to become more political.
The public backlash appears to be having a negative impact on the company’s stock price as well. Shares are down about 26 percent in the last year. That has some shareholder’s questioning whether it’s Disney’s business to get involved in politics.
Economist and Disney shareholder Ray Keating told <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/disney-shareholder-ceo-chapek-political-crusades">Fox News</a> on April 2 that Disney CEO Bob Chapek needs to “get back to business” and “stop wasting shareholders&#8217; money on political crusades.”
Keating later added, “We all have the right to have our voices heard on issues, but not on the shareholders’ dime.&#8221;

Conservative broadcaster and Fox News host Dan Bongino was permanently banned by YouTube on Wednesday, with the video-sharing platform claiming that he attempted to evade a prior suspension.
The evasion included Bongino uploading new video content to his primary video channel while a second channel used to share short video clips from his radio program was actively suspended due to YouTube&#8217;s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
Both of Bongino&#8217;s YouTube channels have now been shut down and he will no longer be able to create a new channel, a spokesman from the company told <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/technology/591495-youtube-permanently-bans-dan-bongino" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a> on Wednesday.
Earlier in January, Bongino said his YouTube account had been temporarily suspended and demonetized for 30 days. His suspended channel had nearly 900,000 subscribers.
Bongino, who also hosts programs on Fox News and Fox Nation, has increasingly shifted his focus to the free speech video platform Rumble. On Wednesday, the Bongino Report noted his Rumble account has topped two million subscribers, more than twice the number of subscribers he had reached on YouTube.
&#8220;The explosive growth in followers on Rumble has no parallel,&#8221; Bongino said in a <a href="http://www.insideradio.com/podcastnewsdaily/dan-bongino-podcast-tops-two-million-subscribers-on-rumble/article_b0e6a5f4-6f16-11ec-acb4-87af9c1b285e.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t seen anything like it on other content platforms. The subs, the views and the hours-watched on Rumble speak for themselves. Rumble is the future.&#8221;

Bongino is also noted as an investor in Rumble.
&#8220;The rapid growth of Bongino&#8217;s channel reflects broad public interest in the content he is producing,&#8221; Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said in a statement on Wednesday. &#8220;His channel has grown much faster on Rumble than on YouTube as consumers flock to Rumble because they know we won&#8217;t selectively censor creators.&#8221;
The conservative broadcaster is certainly no stranger to controversy. Last year, the popular radio host and podcaster threatened to leave his radio program over its vaccine mandate, even though Bongino has been vaccinated. The issue led to an article from a Washington Post reporter that led to Bongino blasting the writer. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dan-bongino-blasts-washington-post-reporter-are-you-a-dips-all-the-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Conservative radio host Dan Bongino blasted a Washington Post reporter in an email following a report over his vaccine mandate response, referring to the writer as a “dips***.”
The email was made public on Twitter by The Washington Post’s Jeremy Barr on Tuesday. The post referred to an alleged December 20 email from Bongino that read:
Are you a dips*** all the time, or just on weekdays? Do you even listen to my show where I explained what’s going on? Or is your oddly shaped head so far up your ass that you can’t hear? Given that you’re a chump, and a coward, who has never stood for a single thing in your entire sorry life, I’m not surprised you left out all of the relevant details of the story. Lose my email, and don’t bother contacting me again. Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas. Off to the spam file labeled “media dips***s” you go.</blockquote>

BREAKING: YouTube Permanently Bans Dan Bongino

Conservative radio host Dan Bongino laid into Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a Monday morning broadcast of &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends,&#8221; saying that she was free to travel wherever she liked but wondering why she&#8217;d choose Florida if she didn&#8217;t like &#8220;conservative America.&#8221;
&#8220;Just don’t come to Florida, okay? It’s a free country, I can’t tell AOC what to do unlike the tyrannical lunatic, you know, anti-free speech left. I actually believe in freedom. You can travel where you want. Having said that, why? Why do you want to come down here? You say you hate us,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/dan-bongino-blasts-washington-post-reporter-are-you-a-dips-all-the-time/">Bongino</a>, who lives in Florida, began.
&#8220;We’re, you know, white nationalists, Nazis, fascists, racists, transphobic, homophobic &#8230;&#8221; Bongino continued. You say you hate us. We’re all backwards … we’re like a bunch of … rednecks.&#8221; Every insult that you can throw at conservative America. Which is ridiculous and absurd you throw at us. So why do you want to be around us?&#8221;
Bongino went on to quote Motley Crew, adding, &#8220;Girl, don&#8217;t go away mad, just go away.&#8221;
&#8220;Don’t come down here. Why are you coming down here?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;We don’t want to be near you. We’re not interested in being … we’re not moving to New York. There’s no mass exodus to New York or California. The U-Haul rates are higher in the other direction.&#8221;
&#8220;Everybody’s emulating Snake Plissken from the 1980s movies. They’re trying to escape from New York. We don’t want you. Please don’t come down here. We’re not interested. You clearly failed. You created hellholes where you live by voting for your lunacy. Just stay away. We’ve got a good thing,&#8221; Bongino concluded.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ocasio-cortez-caught-partying-in-miami-without-mask-rules-for-thee-but-not-for-me">Ocasio-Cortez</a> took some heat for traveling to Florida, especially while people in her home district were dealing with a resurgence of COVID-19 cases and much more aggressive restrictions.
As the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ocasio-cortez-blasted-after-being-caught-in-miami-beach-as-nyc-sets-pandemic-record-aoc-loves-desantis">Daily Wire</a> reported, &#8220;notable responses to the photographs of Ocasio-Cortez spending time in Miami included&#8221; but were not limited to:
<ul>
<li>Stephen L. Miller, political commentator: “Could have gone to Hawaii or Puerto Rico to visit her abuela. She went to Florida. Lol.. she actually did that.”</li>
<li>Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Governor Ron DeSantis: “Florida is so dangerous &amp; scary that AOC decided to go on vacation in Miami this week. You know it’s a free state when even a Democrat can enjoy cocktails without being forced to show her papers or wear a mask.”</li>
<li>Ian Miles Cheong, journalist: “AOC sipping drinks, maskless and open in the free state of Florida while New York City suffers from record high cases of COVID.”</li>
<li>Rich Lowry, National Review: “Where else would a New York City socialist go to escape her city during a massive surge in covid cases but Ron DeSantis’ Florida?”</li>
<li>Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA officer: “Like other communists, @AOC is a hypocrite and an all around turd.”</li>
<li>Esteban Gerbasi: “Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D., N.Y) dines out at Doraku Sushi and Izakaya in Miami Beach as New York sees record surge in Covid-19 cases. A Great Hypocrite.”</li>
<li>Rob Schmitt, Newsmax: “AOC is in south beach for her vacation lol. Prob not good to talk sh!% about Florida all year then vacation there…”</li>
<li>Tim Murtaugh, former Trump campaign spokesman: “But we have been reliably informed that Florida is dangerous and that the governor wants to kill people.”</li>
