In short

Dan Bongino argues Democrats are trying to suppress turnout for the upcoming midterms, highlights a poll claiming many Democrats support removing Trump via extreme measures (including assassination), and insists social media chatter is mostly bots/astroturf rather than real public sentiment. He also promotes an optimistic election outlook using issue polling (inflation/cost of living, economy/jobs, immigration), campaign money advantages, and claims Republicans have better coordinated leadership.

Guest backgrounds

No guests appear as interview subjects in the transcript. Mentions include public figures (e.g., Caroline Leavitt, J.B. Pritzker, Cory Booker, Will Cain, Mark Halperin/James Blair, Walter Russell Mead), but they are not guests on the show in this excerpt.

Key claims

~32% of Democrats are “very negative” about Trump assassination; 23% “very positive” and 9% “somewhat positive” (per Bongino’s reading of a Center for Strategic Politics poll). X/Twitter is not the real world; bots and foreign-generated content distort perceptions. Inflation is largely a Biden-era problem (citing a Will Cain clip). Democrats face unfavorable views of the Democratic Socialists of America and may lack cash.

Notable examples

Auburn campus crowd anecdotes; “Pete” video at Texas A&M; Fox poll on voter priorities; Decision Desk HQ forecast; CNN story about Democratic fundraising risk; AI “Muse” app filing a Delta compensation request; Walter Russell Mead’s “garbage in, garbage out” argument about China’s AI under the Great Firewall.

No, right now, seriously. September 22nd. I forgot National Man Day because someone in the chat had to remind me. I know, I'm sorry, Guy doesn't have a right hand. Guy was attacked by a wild animal. Seriously, he barely made it out alive. Reach your left hand. September 22nd every year will be a Rumble Premium Fat Barney Day. Sharing is caring. Thank you all for doing that. I didn't even start that. See that you are the best chat in the business.

1:26That's why I love you all being here. Today is a sick, insane news day. I mean sick like the kids use it, not me in my 50s. However, sometimes, you know, we got to kind of incorporate some of the lingo. I got a lot to talk about, including I just want to get, I don't want to say it's like bad news. It should focus you news, but I need to get a troubling story out of the way right in the beginning of the show. I promise there'll be a lot of good news too about the election coming up. but I've got to show you a poll that has really rattled the Twitter TikTok ecosystem. It's basically a poll about how Democrats view Donald Trump and how they wish to get him out of office.

2:06Ladies and gentlemen, it's a little bit frightening. I got that. I really shot. And I mean, shocking. It's not like, you know me, I hate teases. I can't stand that crap. Shocking poll, whatever. I hate clickbait. You just burn your audience over time. Don't miss it. A lot to talk about today. Hey, every month you pay a wireless bill. You ever stop to think about what your dollars are supporting? With Patriot Mobile, your wireless bill can do more than just keep you connected.

Today's show also brought to you by Brick House. Listen, you know about the weight loss injections. That's all people want to talk about. I mentioned it last night on Jesse Watter's show. J.B. Pritzker doing the injections. Great. That's fine. Do your thing. I'm just saying a lot of people don't like the injections. A lot of people just don't like injections. Some people are afraid of side effects. The cost can be a little much for people.

3:48So when I needed to lose some weight after the whole like cancer treatment, I gained some weight. I wasn't eating great. I gained probably about 30 pounds I don't want, you know, looking a little gooey. I called Miles at Brickhouse Nutrition. Miles, give me a product. He said, Dan, we got one coming out called Lean, L-E-A-N. You want to get Lean? Try Lean. Go to BrickhouseNutrition.com slash Dan. I did my research on all the shots and stuff. It was a hard no for me. Instead, I use Lean. Here's why. Weight loss shots work by helping control blood sugar and appetite. You eat less. There's no argument.

4:17They work for a lot of people. But lean was doctor formulated to do similar things naturally. Lean helped tackle my hunger and helped support steady energy without constant cravings. Lean did something the injections don't. Helped my body turn fat into energy and burn fat instead of storing it. I'm down to about 198 right now from 238. My favorite part, lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not an injection, no prescriptions, no needles. I lost weight. You can see the pictures yourself. I lost weight with lean. I believe you can too. Go to brickhousenutrition.com slash Dan. Use promo code Dan for 20 % off.

6:02You can keep crapping your diapers, pee in your diapers, have mommy change you while she's bringing you pop tarts. You can't be me. You just can't. I'm sorry. What did the kids say? You're jelly. I'm sorry. I know what you're trying to do. We keep kicking your ass. I know it hurts. Put some cream on it. Put some freaking Neosporin on that thing. I don't know what to tell you. they want you to not show up because they want the country to burn they do yes they're not republicans they don't believe in liberty they don't believe in due process or the constitution or MAGA they want to see us lose why do I say that because these are the people you're going to lose to there is a poll the center for strategic politics put out a post yesterday about a poll that went out this is not a bad joke this is real the center for strategic politics put this out and you could it's at strat politics on x we pulled five routes for trump to leave office before the end of his term a plurality of dems support four of them including a military coup and death by natural causes the only cause it's underwater and assassination is still supported by 29 and as justin pointed out I don't even think the math is correct there on there because maybe the graphic is wrong but this is insane this is why I tell you let the grifters and the bums crash out ignore them, they are not Republicans they're not conservatives and they sure as hell ain't believers in liberty ignore them they want you to lose to these people people who want Trump dead they want him assassinated they want him to die in his sleep This is a real poll.

7:51They want a military coup. Look at the numbers. Folks, here's the part of the poll that's the most disturbing. They ask these demon rats out there, because that's what people who answer this way are. They're like, would you support a Trump assassination? This is freaking insane. 23 % are very positive about a Trump assassination. Look at them. Just look at them.

8:22Here's the kicker. Another 9 % are just somewhat positive about an assassination. They're like, do you want President Trump assassinated? Yeah, I'm somewhat positive about that. You are? You would think if you were somewhat positive that you'd just be overall positive. This is crazy. You want to lose to these demon rats? 25 % are neither positive nor negative, which is even worse. You don't have an opinion about a presidential assassination? Am I reading this right? 11 % are like somewhat negative. They're like, just sitting there, Justin. They're like, Mr. Democrat, how do you feel about President Trump being assassinated?

9:09Hmm. Let me think about that. I'm just a little negative, Autumn. And thankfully, 32 percent, probably Democrats in working class counties, union workers and stuff who are decent people. I just disagree with you. I'm very negative. Thankfully, 32 out of 100 Democrats are very negative on that. Folks, you want to lose to these grifters and bums. They want you not to vote. That's why they hate this show. They can't stand this show. And the crash outs have been just, and I mean crash outs, like the total evisceration of any credibility you may have thought they had, which they don't. I want to prove to you again right now, hopefully for one of the last and final times before the election, I want to prove to you.

10:01Because I said to you this weekend, I spent some time in Auburn, you know, Auburn, Alabama. I was at the Auburn UF game. Congrats to the Gators. Auburn, not to my wish we had pulled that one out, but however, we lost. I was stunned walking around and I was walking around for a long time. I went to the basketball practice, took my daughter to a woman's volleyball game, went to the football game. And I, I walked around the campus for at least 12 hours. Ladies and gentlemen, probably a hundred, 200, 300 selfies and like another thousand people came up. It was the nicest thing. We had one loser almost fell down the stairs the only liberal in Auburn I told you that story yesterday the reason I bring this up is if you were on x all day listen to me stop what you're doing stop Bill Paxton time stop your grin and drop your linen aliens stop it put everything down and listen to me because I hear this all the time but Dan I'm on x Twitter and I put up a comment about whatever like Massey or someone else and I got a quadrillion people reach out I'm like dude dude this is not real it's not real this is all bot generated garbage with just a few losers and bums in the background I'm telling you it's not real I'm out there all the time for every thousand people that say something positive about me and other members of the Trump administration, there's like one loser out there who shows up with a full diaper, like crap in his pants while everybody was laughing at him, like the idiot in Auburn almost fell down the damn stairs.

11:44Here, you want me to bring the receipts? You should, because I have evidence. I'm like, they can't win an election. That's the evidence I'm telling you. If what they're doing is on X, they're so powerful and they have such a movement and it's not just about destroying the MAGA movement, which it is. Why can't they win an election? Because they suck and it's all fake. Put up this VO of Pete. So Pete was at Texas A &M Court Secretary of War. Pete Hanks said, we've been told we should impeach him. Pete, everybody hates you. But I was on Twitter. A million, quadrillion people told me, and they all said the same thing.

12:23Here's Pete at the Texas A &M Court. By the way, I could play these all day. I'm not going to tell you I got this same response because I didn't jump into the crowd and there weren't that many military folks there. Pete's got a big profile. There's videos all over. Pete Walker, hey, Pete. I thought everybody wanted him and Pete wanted him out. Folks, it's all BS. I'm telling you, it's bots on Twitter. I am an investor in the tech space. I see a lot of things and I pull in a lot of data. You have no idea how much of this is foreign-generated crap. I promise. However much you think it is, it's 10 times more.

13:00It's not real. All right, Dan, that's just anecdotal evidence. P to Texas A &M, you know, your story at Auburn. Fair enough. Double subject design is probably not enough to aggregate data and draw a full conclusion. So let's check out some polling where they ask a lot of people about what matters to you. So Byron York put this up. Here's a new Fox poll. And it was like, hey, what matters to you before the election? Now, if you're on X all day, you'd be convinced it's grifter conspiracy theories. You know, this person from Mars killed Joey Bag of Donuts. The feds are under President Trump, under President Trump are setting you up.

13:40You would be convinced these are the biggest issues out there. So what do people actually say in the real world? Here are the freaking receipts that the doomers and pillars are nothing but an astroturf army. and you should not be listening to these absolute imbeciles. Block, mute, they're not worth your time. Now, there's good news and bad news in this poll, and we should not gloss over in any way the bad news. The thing that matters to 34 % of voters is cost of living in inflation. Now, I'll make the case to you on a clip I have coming up in a couple minutes about how inflation would keep this up for a moment if you wouldn't mind, that inflation is largely driven by what happened in the Biden administration, but that doesn't absolve us.

14:25We're in charge now. I get it. However, economy jobs. I just told you, the jobless rate's the lowest we've ever had. Poverty rate's the lowest we ever had. GDP's projected to be 5%. These are huge numbers. Immigration is the number three issue. Please, please don't embarrass yourself if you're a grifter or a liberal and suggest Donald Trump hasn't been the best president of immigration ever. please stop please stop it's humiliating please stop have mommy change her to clean you up get a wipey like please stop you take those top three issues 34 14 and 18 and i believe economy and jobs and immigration work in our favor inflation yeah cost of living is still high and we should not ignore that but notice what's not on this list go read the whole list you're like dad all i hear about it.

15:14Twitter is Joey Bagadona. Kill John Smith. I'm sure of it. While I'm being sued for defamates, that's what I've been told. Everybody cares about it. Really? Interesting. It doesn't show up like anywhere. Not even 1%. I thought that was a thing. I thought it was a thing. Folks, I'm out in the real world. My friends in the Trump administration are out in the real world. You got polling data, the bot army, you see it. They all tweet back the same stupid response. One guy with a thousand phones. You suck. We hate the Jews. It's all fake. It's all fake and it drives them crazy that they got exposed in elections where they told you they had all this support and then got their asses handed to them.

16:08Folks, it all matters. It all matters. When I say it all matters, I mean it all matters that you take into context that Twitter is not the real world. I promise you. So many people message me, even my fellow McGroins in the chat. We love you guys. They're like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe it. Sean Farish says it all. He knows it all the time. The bots swarm. You watch it. And you're really convinced this stuff is real. Don't get depressed before the election. We still have a shot. Is it going to be some red wave? No, probably not. Never happens in the midterms. Is it going to be a blue wave? I hope not.

16:43But I'm just going to give you some evidence going forward that there are really, really good signs that we've got a shot at at least stemming some losses and maybe picking up a seat here and there. Here's President Trump yesterday on True Social calling out the doomers and the gloomers, too. Everything's freaking doom and gloom. Everything's going to kill us now. He said, hey, the same people that said we'd all be dead in 12 years because of global warming. And now they've changed it to climate change because the planet was cooling, not warming. They're the same thing that the AI is going to kill us.

17:14He's basically calling out all the hoaxers out there all the time. He's like, listen, I've got this. I'm not asking you to trust me. He says at the end, here's what we're doing. This is not trust me, bro. All the doomers and gloomers. This one's going to kill us. That one's going to kill us. he says we'll be careful we have a doj and other law enforcement bodies that'll rain thing is rain things in if we have to but i will encourage ai or super intelligence president donald j trump he's telling you like guys there is take it all into perspective the same people telling you the world was going to end in 12 years everything sucks this is going to kill us that's going to kill us are the exact same people telling you don't show up in the election sit home let the democrats take over i'm not having it folks they're in real trouble the democrats there was a poll that came out uh was it yesterday the other day that 55 percent of registered voters a pretty solid majority 55 for liberals that can't do math that's a big number have an unfavorable view of the democrat socialists of america that's kind of a problem for the democrats no

18:30i want to get to the ai thing in a second too and i gotta i got a lot more i really you want to see i don't mean ugly bad i just mean ugly like today's show i had to write all over the place because i kept getting late minute i did this is today's show that you're like you can read that no even i can't read that that's how much stuff i added at the last minute i'm going to give you an outlook on the election i'm going to produce real numbers but i just want to hear just quick before the break um an update too on the doomers on greenland doomers groom uh gloomers black pillars liberal media goofballs progressive and comedy the greenland deal was all the same as 1951 go to at rod d martin on x great account here's your cheat sheet for greenland which was a triumph real simple durations different after greenlandic independence different military footprint's different.

19:21On non-NATO bases, it's different. Critical minerals, it's different. Missile defense, it's different. You can look at the cheat sheet right there. Please stop the dooming and the glooming. It's the same deal as 1951. No, you're the same toolbox you were in 1951. It's not the same deal. Please stop making stupid things up. You look like a freaking moron. Well, that was an opening. correct on September 22nd. Fat boy. You think we can lobby the Republican Party for a National Day of Recognition for Fat Boy?

20:09No, you don't think that'll work? Okay. All right. On the other side, I got a quick thing showing you again. I am right on the AI doom and gloom. It can be dangerous. Just no diggity, no doubt, as the song goes from the 90s or whatever. I'm just saying China's got a real problem.

23:06Thank you. We appreciate it. Okay. I told you this yesterday, again, for the doom and gloom crowd about AI. People are worried about China, which understand we should be worried about China, but that China is going to beat us. China has a big concern with AI. I addressed yesterday, but I want to show you, like, I didn't invent this idea. A lot of people out there who are in the content creation or editorial space know China's got a big problem with AI. And it's this. This is summed up just beautifully here. AI's threats to China's control. Walter Russell Mead, I read his comments in the Wall Street Journal.

23:38I like him. We don't agree on everything. However, he says, if Chinese AI is forced to stay inside the great firewall, those are all their internet blocks so people in China can't get the internet and get the real internet. using only party approved information the value of the ai results will be gravely compromised feed ai crap in other words my words on his you're going to get crap output it goes on they know that they have to feed it crap though because they don't want it to tell their people the truth about tiananman square mead notes there's a lot of important and even necessary information the chinese communist party doesn't want the public to have and communist manipulation of everything from history to current official statistics creates discrepancies throughout the information domain.

24:23They don't want their people to know communism sucks. So they're going to have to feed the AI crap, which is going to generate crap Chinese AI. He ends this way. Thank you, Mead. You're 100 % correct. If AI in China works with only official data within the officially sanctioned propaganda-soaked and politically vetted versions of the past, It'll give Chinese users misleading information and bad recommendations. Garbage in, garbage out. I'm not telling you we don't got to worry about China in the AI space and elsewhere. I'm just telling you the doom and gloom crowd acts like China's going full bore with no guardrails.

25:01That's not happening. We want guardrails because we don't want the world to blow up and AI to hack every computer in the United States. China wants guardrails because they don't want AI to tell their people the truth about the surveillance state and how Chinese Communist Party rule sucks.

25:20However, now, what is this leading to? Hat tip to my team. I asked them to put this together yesterday. They responded beautifully as well. I asked them to put together a montage of Democrats on the weekend shows, the news shows. You want to talk about doom and gloom. This is like even for Democrat crazies, like the people in the beginning of the show want Trump assassinated and all this stuff in the poll. This is even the next level doom and gloom for them. This is J.B. Pritzker and a couple of other goofballs out there talking about AI, nuclear war. We're all going to die. I want you to keep in mind what I said yesterday.

25:57The only reason they're saying this is because AI and development of computing power in the United States and the blue collar and white collar jobs are going to come along with it may give Donald Trump if he leaves office in two years with the record, I think, with one of the greatest economic build outs since the Industrial Revolution. And the Democrats don't want that. This has nothing to do with truth or honesty or them being afraid of AI. It's all propaganda crap, probably funded by goofballs. Check this. It is dangerous, but, you know, and it's dangerous on the level of nuclear weapons. So that's why it needs to be an international endeavor.

26:41Safeguards so that AI can't be misused by people for biological nuclear weapons. No, I think AI, the potential danger of AI is probably greater than nuclear weapons. Greater than nuclear weapons. Artificial intelligence without human wisdom, discernment, and judgment is going to be catastrophic. Peerous tech could not make a decision to kill it. When we created a nuclear weapon, the nuclear weapon did not have the decision-making power to drop a nuclear weapon. AI has the capability, it will have the capability to make a decision like that.

27:20Folks, this is not real. I designed the show to flow with a specific narrative throughout the show so the show makes sense. I'll tell you the story, not a story. I will always give you the ups and downs. We did an entire show last week about out-of-control AI if we don't institute guardrails and what it will look like. But I love that stupid line at the end where, who is it, Ruben Gallego or Booker is like, He's like, man, you know, AI without human wisdom. Who do you think invented AI? Who do you think invented AI? Flipper the freaking dolphin? This is like, you know, penicillin without a doctor could cause you a lot of harm.

28:12It's got to be prescribed, you idiots. What are you talking about? This is all BS, doom and gloom. They don't care about that. It's people like us. Donald Trump has an AI czar. He's got DOJ looking up. He's got commerce looking up. He's got deals going on with Scott Bessett in China. Please stop with the freaking doom and gloom. It is not the real world. That's why I was telling you, this show is designed to flow. I showed you in the beginning of the show, polling data, anecdotal evidence, just me and Pete being out there in the real world. What you're being told on X, I know it's overwhelming at times.

28:51I get it. You're like, my gosh, It's not real. Just disregard it. Disregard it. Block, mute, or leave it alone. It doesn't even matter. It's not real. I want to show you what some of the benefits of AI would look like. This is a post I saw this morning. So yesterday, Facebook has an AI app called Muse. It went up to number one in the store. This is just a small thing. It's not some huge, acute cancer thing overnight. However, I think there's a possibility it could do that. But this guy at CryptoPunk7213 says, hey, my flight was delayed seven hours. So I asked this AI app, Muse, to file for compensation.

Read the full transcript

29:34Five minutes later, I had a$250 credit in my Delta account. It even found and rebooked me a new flight. I figured everything out. It figured everything out, even responded to the support email itself. It feels like magic. I'm just telling you, folks, think about this, the time saved. with just simple stuff AI can do, like handling a simple administrative task like this that would have taken you, I don't know, I mean, how many people had flights canceled, me included, would have taken three, four hours, that now takes 10 minutes. You now have three hours of your life back. Multiply that across the entire globe.

30:08And can you imagine what's ahead if we just shut this thing down and go, ah, screw it. You know, J.B. Pritzker and Cory Booker said it's no good. Who the hell's listening to these idiots? They can't even manage New Jersey and Illinois. Do you see me on Waters last night too? J.B. Pritzker out there. They did like the big reveal about J.B. Pritzker. Who, man, listen, I'm serious too. Like good for him for getting in shape. I'm not knocking against. He's like, I walk now, I lost weight. Good for you, bro. Good for you. However, they did this right before I come on Waters. He was on a weekend show, Pritzker.

30:41And they're like, we've got a big secret we're going to release for the first time. Do you guys see this? Jasmine, do you see this? And they're like, they open the fridge and he's like, I take GLP-1s, like the weight loss injection. We were like, Andrew's like, no, no way. We were all stunned. I was sitting in the studio van in my driveway. I'm like, me and the camera operator, we're like, no way. Andrew's like, I'm shocked. Of course, it's a joke. I hope you sense the dripping sarcasm on Fat Barney Day. Fat Barney Day, right? Maybe Fat Barney should get on GOP1 Try and leave Maybe he'll be thin Barney Folks, their bench sucks It's all doom and gloom Propaganda and stupid stuff You have a choice Coming up in this election You have a choice I'm one of the best spokespeople we have I'm actually I miss her in the White House already Caroline Levitt I know you do too Round of applause in the chat for Caroline She did an amazing job I make the case, one of the best secretaries, press secretaries we've ever had.

31:49She's incredible. I'm going to miss her in the White House. However, I've known Caroline a while. I knew her when she was a candidate running for Congress and she did a bang up job. She used to crush that. Was she running as a guy in a debate? It was amazing. I think Caroline is going to be even more effective on the outside. I do. Because she's such a good advocate for our cause. Here she is just laying out in the clearest way possible. Like you have a choice in just about what, 40 days in the midterms. This race is not over. Evidence incoming, polls incoming, money incoming. You're going to see the evidence.

32:25This is not over. This is really well said. Check this out. These are indeed the most important midterm elections in the history of our country. And it is because we are facing a major, massive contrast. America truly is at a crossroads. Do we want to continue to be a country that embraces common sense under President Trump and Republicans, like secure borders, like supporting our police, like the largest middle class tax cuts in American history, which put thousands of dollars back into the pockets of hardworking Americans? Or do we want to be a country that no longer recognizes itself? Because that's what the Democrats want to do.

33:05They want to fundamentally not change America. They want to destroy America. I mean, Caroline has the brightest future. What is she, in her early 30s? I don't even know. You know, you don't ask women their age. I'm sure we can just look it up. But the woman's got 60 or 70 years left of activism and politics. She's going to be amazing on the outside. Whether she runs for office, it goes on television where she can use a microphone there too. You have a clear and stark choice, folks. folks again tying it back to the beginning of the show the reason i gave you the bad news up front if you're just tuning in now we covered a poll something like 32 percent of democrats want to see trump assassinated and they feel either somewhat or very positive about it you're telling me you're not going to show up in the election because your congressman didn't vote for a bill you like that happens all the time republicans are not the solution to all of your problems.

34:05The cause of all your problems, however, are Democrats. Look at this poll. What more reason could you possibly want to show up? And for those out there, again, in the wet in their diapers, doom and gloom crowd, whining all day on Twitter about the next thing, this sucks, that sucks. Oh, you suck. I'm sorry you got to look in the mirror every morning, wake up being you. I'm sorry about that. I feel bad. Go get some psychotherapy. here's decision desk headquarters on the numbers they're not great for republicans but they're not terrible either and by the way decision desk hq is not something like maga outlet they have a forecast their forecast gives democrats a 70 chance of flipping the house not great but not 90 not 95 and only a 52 chance of flitting flipping the senate so it's a toss-up they have a 49 chance chance to flip both chambers and are favored in 231 house seats and 51 senate seats folks that's not it doesn't look to me like to stay home it's going to be a blue wave numbers so you're telling me it's a 50 50 shot at the senate and we've got at least a 30 chance if that's if you trust the polling i'll agree even in the poll i put in the beginning polling's not always spot on these days there's a lot of trouble with it however when you get polling like that fox poll I put in the beginning about issues people care about.

35:30You would think if this stuff on Twitter was so important, like half a percent of people would say it. Nobody says it at all. The Doomer's telling you not to show up because they've got a theory on the latest conspiracy. Nobody cares. But you. People care about the truth and honesty and due process. They don't care about your crap. Here's Sarah Ferris, an ex. about GOP money advantages going in. Folks, the Democrats, do we have that CNN piece too? I know I said I probably shouldn't do it. There's a CNN piece on this too. Folks, I'm sorry money matters in politics. I wish it didn't. However, money matters.

36:13Why? Money buys people who can show up at the polls on game day, who can sit out there and wave the sign. Some people go in and decide last minute, oh, look, county assemblyman, whatever, county councilman. Money matters. It buys TV, radio, podcast advertising. Republicans are now dumping MAGA, Inc. and Elon money into purple and red seats across the battlefield. And right now, Dems don't have any money to match it. Dems in the House in particular fear it could be the difference between a three or four seat majority and 10 or 12 seat majority. Does that sound like this race is over? Excuse me.

36:50Folks, the only reason I bring up money is motivated voters and activists give money. Correct? The doomers are telling you, oh, nobody cares. Everything sucks. Well, if everything sucks, why are people giving their hard-earned money to a party, President Trump's party, that they feel are doing good things? Why such a big cash advantage? Here's CNN. CNN. You think CNN's a big Trump outlet? Please stop. Top Democrats across the country are privately warning they don't have enough cash in the midterms to capitalize on what could be the party's best political environment in over a decade and are at serious risk of leaving winning seats on the table.

37:30This is freaking CNN, gents and ladies. I am not giving up on anything. I'm not giving you the black cloud scenarios because I don't think they're realistic. I think the Democrats do have a positive political environment for them because people always vote against the president's party in the midterms. That's nothing new. But the environment is not terrible at all. If you show up, we may be able to hold the House. May. It's a long shot, but we may. The Senate, I think we got a good shot. Also, there's a bit of an X factor here. Mark Kalperin is a pretty down-the-middle analyst. Mark Kalperin, this is something I don't want you to underestimate at all.

38:13There's a guy working on the midterm elections who is a very, very savvy operator with an incredible history of them. It's like having a head coach. like a, as much as it pains me to say it being an Auburn fan, like a Nick Saban. I mean, really, the dude just wins. He wins. He wins. They have a guy running this midterm operation. His name is James Blair. Again, Halperin's not like a big righty. He's kind of a down-the-middle guy. He's like, hey, man, this guy knows what he's doing. I wouldn't discount the Republicans in these midterms. Check this out. But what do they have? First of all, they have James Blair himself.

38:53He's he's an extremely able guy. He's very he's young, but he's very politically experienced and he's got full command and control over this whole thing. He's not fighting for jurisdiction or turf. The super PACs, the party committees, the campaigns, they know that James Blair is the quarterback of this thing. and the laws now allow for more coordination than they used to. And James Blair knows that there's no analog on the Democratic side. So if you've got two armies lined up and one army's got a patent at the top and and MacArthur, he's everybody's going to listen to what he says. And the other army has like all these little factions and fiefdoms and different people in charge.

39:31You'd want to be the side that had one talented person as long as a talented and respected person running the show. So they got that. Then they have a money advantage. Money is not everything in politics. People can win races spending less. But we're about to see an unprecedented delta between how much money the Republicans are going to have and all the different pots of money, candidates, party committees, super PACs, etc., and how much the Democrats have comparable. I believe that the delta between how much the Republicans have and the Democrats have will be over a billion dollars. And so a lot of money expertly spent against inexperienced candidates who are ill-defined in the mind of the voters.

40:11I mean, you just look at a textbook. We all know that the Republicans, to win this thing, they're going to have to make this a choice election between the Republican and the Democrat, not a referendum on the president. And how do you do that? You define the Democrat as unacceptable. That's how you win. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, all expected to lose their reelection campaigns. and they all won because they made it a choice and they disqualified the person on the other side that's what james blair is going to do folks the people preaching doom and gloom are forgetting the choice halper and just talked about it's a binary it's a binary pick the republicans or pick the democrats people on the one are just focusing on one side well i wish the republicans had done this this and this even though they did that that and that they're discounting the fact that remember what I said in the beginning of the show.

41:0455%, a pretty significant majority of registered voters, people who vote, have an unfavorable view of choice to the Democrat Socialists of America. We've got money, a lot more money. We've got a pretty decent slate of candidates who've outpolled people in the past. We've got the Trump effect, bringing out union workers, minorities that haven't come out in the past that Donald Trump's managed to do not throw this election flush it down the toilet because some moron on x told you everyone's talking about this when nobody's talking about this but them and a couple hundred bot people besides you want these people in charge folks these this is the guy this guy they've married themselves to this guy piker this is the guy they're marrying themselves up with and out there campaigning with on the campaign trail.

42:01This lunatic is talking about a nuclear armed Iran. How like, are you insane? This is the kind of stuff. If you were to campaign with a guy like this on the Republican side, you would be exiled into the phantom zone like Zod and Superman. But he's welcome. You think this, you don't want to vote because you think this is a better option? This guy? This guy will be like a national figurehead for the Democrats if they get elected. Check this out. Do you think Iran should be free to build a nuclear weapon? I think Iran, much like any other sovereign nation, has a right to defend itself, regardless of its domestic policies.

42:45my opinion on the matter is not dissimilar to what John Mersheimer has said which is that in order to create regional stability in a world where mutually assured destruction is the only way for countries to have sovereignty it's the same principle that I apply to Ukraine as well countries that would have nuclear arms in an age of nuclear proliferation are the only countries that can generate true sovereignty now having said that do I want Iran to have nuclear arms no but I also don't want america or russia or china to have nuclear arms either do you think the middle east would be more stable if iran had a nuclear weapon i believe yes i think that the middle east would be more stable i i'm i'm really getting sick of this guys i have to throw that out there to show it is a binary it is a binary for everyone telling you like oh you know what i wish the republicans would have done my thing instead of doing these other things.

43:42Fine, you're allowed to have that opinion. Of course, it's a republic. I'm just telling you, this is the choice if you don't vote because you're upset about the one thing that didn't happen, despite the hundred things it did. A guy who, Al-Sayed and these people love, who thinks Iran and the Middle East would be a lot safer if we just like nuclearized the region. That's a great idea, dude. You want an even more positive, optimistic outlook about what's ahead if, if, here's the big if, capital I-F. If we can get past, and it's a big ask, this midterm and hold on to the presidency in the next election cycle in 2028, if we can get past that, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not sure the Democrats anytime in the near future will stand a really good chance at winning the presidency and the House of Representatives again.

44:40I've said this to you many times, but again, put down what you're doing and pay close attention to this. If we can get past the midterms and it's not a Republican bloodbath, okay, and we managed to hold on to the presidency in 2028 through 2032, it is only up, and when I say up, I mean dramatically up from there. I'm going to show you two quick tweets because I've discussed this often. Now that we've effectively locked down the border so the Democrats can't, you know, flush 20 or 30 million illegals into the country and use it to get more House seats in blue states and basically outvote us in a presidential election in the Electoral College based on population.

45:19The Democrats spigot for people has been shut down. Put up the Steve Moore tweet. The exodus from blue states, he notes, is going to reshape the Electoral College, which elects the president. California is projected to lose four House seats. That also means four electoral college votes for the presidency. You need 270, of course. Texas is projected to gain four. Florida, two. Americans continue to vote with their feet. In other words, that's four more congressmen for Texas, two more for Florida that are likely Republican seats. That's also six less electoral college votes to get to 270, which is really bad.

46:00It gets even worse. Here's Grover Norquist on X talking about what happens even after that. Grover says in 2032, the new census will move another 10 congressional seats and electoral college votes from blue to red states. So I'm telling you, if we can just get to 2032, you may be looking at a brand new America. In 2042, the next census, another 10 will likely be moved from blue to red states. So he notes, whatever happens this November, in 15 years, add 20 congressmen to the Republican side and remove 20 from the Dems. Ditto with the Electoral College. It will be increasingly difficult for Democrats to win the House and the presidency.

46:44Folks, that's just math. It's not an opinion. It's fact. People are moving out of blue states under Biden and Obama. They replaced those people with illegals. Those illegals are now being deported and the borders shut down. The Democrat math in the future only gets uglier after this midterm and presidential. It doesn't get any better. We have to save the republic. That's why I know you're tired of hearing it. Candidly, sometimes I am too. It's the most important election of your lifetime. Folks, midterm wise, this is it because it will never be the same for the Democrats after this. And they know it.

47:23The Senate, which is not based on population, they'll still stand a decent chance. Senate, you get two no matter what your population. I'm sorry, but there are liberals listening. You don't know that. Anything based on population, the electoral college to elect the president and the House, the Dems are screwed because people are leaving their blue states because the blue states are being run by freaking morons and Hassan Piker lovers. Folks, again, you have a choice. You have a choice in this election. It's a binary. I know Republicans, especially some on the Senate side, have disappointed you.

48:00Point stipulated, you win. If I'm the judge in these chambers, point stipulated, plaintiff's attorney, you win. However, there's a choice. And not making a choice is a choice because you're allowing the Democrats to win by not at least voting against them, even if you don't want to vote for Republicans. Folks, here's your choice. Will Cain did an excellent segment on Fox the other day. Can you throw up that Fox News poll again? The number one issue in this election, which again, I acknowledge is probably not great for Republicans right now, is inflation cost a living. However, if you believe the left wing media and Doomer narrative, they'll tell you like, oh, President Trump, inflation, he did all of this.

48:42He did. Most of this was caused by Biden. He's trying to clean up the mess. I want to play you this clip by Will Cain. This is really well done. So well done. Matter of fact, Donald Trump reposted it on his true social. Here's a quick segment using numbers and objective truth. Whether you believe the numbers or not is irrelevant. Showing you how inflation was really a Biden problem that Trump's trying to get a hold of. It's still an issue. We're in charge. But Biden caused a lot of this. I only say that because even if you believe, I hate Republicans, do you really want this type of Biden-Democrat inflation back again?

49:18Here's the numbers. They speak for themselves. Check this out. Here is, at this point in the presidency, for both Joe Biden and President Trump, their second year in office, the first half of that year, January to July, inflation. Overall, inflation was 12 % for Joe Biden, 4 % for President Trump. Groceries were up 16 % for President Biden, a little over 3 % for President Trump. Gas was up almost 70 % for Biden. It's up about 12 % during that time frame for Trump. New and used cars were up almost 24 % for Joe Biden, down under President Trump. This is the problem with inflation and elections. The problem is, it's a simple math problem.

50:07If 80 plus percent of the inflation that we're seeing now, which is real, do not discount it. People are pissed. I get it. But if 80 % of it was caused under Biden, I think it's 82. If the prices don't come down and you're in charge, even if it happened under Biden, or at least the large majority of it, people are going to blame you. I wish that weren't the case. Because blaming President Trump and voting against him puts the same guy who caused the problem, or his party at least, back in charge for the problem you're blaming President Trump for. In other words, there's a penalty for this. I do not want 9 % inflation again Which happened under Biden Peaked out at 9 % That is an insane number There is a penalty for this So when you say like Hey, the prices didn't come down Trump should have brought them down more So I'm going to vote against him You're actually voting for prices to go up even more dramatically Because there is a counterweight to this And that's the Democrats Do you want more of this?

51:16Bill Malugin, who's a great reporter at Fox, Bill Malugin was on X yesterday. He said, hey, man, this just came up on my timeline from the Biden era video we had taken at the border. He says his phone just pinged him with an on this day memory from this day three years ago when Biden was in office. It's at the border at Eagle Pass, Texas. Even if you're saying that I wish President Trump would have deported even more people, even though he's got record numbers of deportations. voting against him by voting for Democrats just like inflation is gonna bring this back again look at everybody waving hey man we're about to screw you guys over and illegally invade your country let me wait nobody did anything they just waved back they waved back the Biden team was like hey buddy Johnny how you doing man come on in claim benefits health care Medicaid use our emergency rooms, whatever you want.

52:11Folks, voting is a choice. It's not always a great choice. Do you remember when I came back from the FBI? I said to you, one of the things that hit me the first week I was there is that every single decision I had to make was a level 10 decision. A level 10 decision is a decision where there's not a good decision. There's a bad and a worse decision. Now, I don't think that's the case with the election. I think President Trump's actually a great decision. I think the record speaks for itself. But even if you don't feel that way and you're a doomer, and you're a total doomer, level 10 decisions are, do we arrest this terrorist today without maybe a solid open and shut criminal case?

52:57Or do we wait a couple days to gather more surveillance, risking that there may be an attack? Ladies and gentlemen, what's the right answer? You may say, oh, the second one, you risk it. Well, what if the first one, it's not an easy answer because what if you do arrest him too early and he gets out? These are the decisions you have to make every day. They're hard. This is not even close to that. This is not a bad and worse decision. This is President Trump with an astounding two-year record on the border, on crime, on the economy, on manufacturing renaissance versus open borders, 9 % inflation, defund the police, the Democrat Socialists of America.

53:37The choice is clear as day. I've never seen a clearer choice in a midterm. Folks, I'm going to take a quick break and I want to get to VP Vance, his comments on the media kerfuffle at the White House again. The media, phony, fake media frauds losing their minds, pretending that they have special access to the White House, pretending like they're victims again oh my god let's clean my diaper we're getting we're victims first no one's stopping you from reporting and you're total frauds you never did a damn thing when we were in the twitter files being blacklisted banned from youtube banned from google ads i never heard squat from you losers so you can take that and show quick break we'll be right back hey used to think uh waking up tired was just part of my routine you know you sleep on a bad mattress you're I feel tired all the time.

54:30Well, don't do that. I switched to the Midnight Luxe mattress from Helix a long time ago. I think it's my third one now. I realized how much the right mattress can impact your sleep. I'm sleeping more comfortably through the night. I wake up less often. The mattress is great. I'm feeling more energized when I start my day. Helix makes the process super easy. It'll really stand out to you. They have this sleep quiz. It only takes a few minutes. And based on my answers, they matched me with a mattress designed for my sleep preferences. It's really simple. It took all the guesswork out of finding the right mattress and the right fit for me.

55:00I've also been impressed by the cooling features. It's Florida. It is hot down here. They don't call it the sunshine state for nothing. You have to sleep cool throughout the night. Your body has to cool down. I don't constantly adjust or flip my pillow anymore. The cooling features on the mattress are amazing. I sleep comfortably throughout the night and consistently. If you've been thinking about upgrading your mattress, Helix makes it easy with free shipping, a 120-night sleep trial, and a limited lifetime warranty. And right now, Helix, H-E-L-I-X, has an exclusive offer for my listeners. 27 % off sitewide.

55:32Just head over to helixsleep.com slash dan and get 27 % off. That's helixsleep.com slash dan for 27 % off sitewide. Again, helixsleep.com slash dan. I just realized like how much I move my hands. It's got to be an Italian thing when I'm talking about the ads and stuff. Here, I want to play this for you yesterday too because I wanted just to address again the ongoing media meltdown about them not being allowed in the Brady press room. Folks, they can cover the White House, cover it from Pennsylvania Avenue, cover it from the South Lawn. You're not entitled to a seat in a small Brady press room just because you think you're the benighted class, just because you think you're on the Mount Olympus of gods in the media.

56:14You people, you know what, put that Teague in, John T. I love this guy, Tig. You know him from one of the heroes from Benghazi. Here's Tig on X. Like, why do these guys get special privileges? You would think they would have gotten like one big story right. I'm not going to read them all. He's at Tig Teagan on X. He goes, they want a White House badge after this record? Look at what the hack news media did. Benghazi was a protest. Remember that? I mean, Tig knows. That lie? And he knows juicy small yay, that one. Then the Hunter Biden laptop story. Then the COVID lab league nonsense they covered up.

56:50Then the ice doctor was a uterus collector. Then the Navy vet running Afghanistan extraction was a black market profiteer. Jury found CNN defamed them. Remember the Covington kids? Remember the very fine people hoax? Remember the Trump told Americans to inject bleach hoax? Trump promised a bloodbath or something. All this stuff was crap. It was all crap. They got none of this. Of course, we got the huge one, the Russia hoax. That's turned into a criminal case. You can read that publicly reporting stuff, and now it's out there. This is just the short list, folks. Why, again, should you get special privileges for never getting a single big story about the president?

57:32I'll throw in another one. Remember the cover up of Biden's clear cognitive issues? Biden, he's sharp as a tack, folks. You know Joe Biden, he's on it. Here's the vice president. Well, well spoken on this. Like, hey, man, we're not blocking these people out of the White House. We're just not giving you the special access you think you deserve, but no one else does. Check this out. Stop banning media outlets. What he's doing is saying we're not going to give you special access to the White House if you engage in what is effectively propaganda. We have to remember those three outlets account. About 92 percent of the stories that they have on the president of the United States, on the administration are negative.

58:10That's not representative of the American people. It's not representative of public opinion. So if you're going to engage in what is effectively far left propaganda, why would a Republican White House give you special access? I don't know. Any suggestions, Josh, why they should? I don't know either. Anyone in the chat think they should be getting special access? Why not give a seat to Breitbart? Why not? They got the stories right on the Russia hoax and elsewhere. Why not give it to the Sean Davis's crew at the Federalist? how about that how about us i i don't want to self-praise things however not a bad idea why not give it why not nobody can no one in the chat has any good reason no no hell no although someone autocorrected to hell no he will know hell no hell no nope nope nope no hell to the no uh f no there we go no however because i'm a man of solutions and as i said to you in the beginning of the show as they used to say in queens when i was growing up keeping it real we are keeping it real didn't chris rock do a segment we're keeping it real on the show we do we give you the good news we give you the bad news and we let you form an opinion i just don't like propagandists and i I can't stand doomers, pillars, and liberal media goofballs.

59:33I can't stand them. And I love it that they can't stand me. Because if idiots like you, you're probably an idiot yourself. Sean Spicer is a good man, good friend of mine. Spicy had a great idea on X. I mean, it's a really good idea. In order to address the White House TV pool situation, the White House should utilize the White House communications agency and provide a live feed that anyone can tap into. A couple of titles in there. I do. It happens to us too. It happened to us this morning on Bon Joino Report. Someone spelled the frayed wrong. F-R-E-I-E-D. This is a great idea. Let me translate for you as someone who worked in the White House for five years.

1:00:14WACA. Whenever you hear WACA, no, they don't mean Fozzie Bear. For those of you in your 40s and 50s that grew up with the Muppets, WACA, WACA, WACA. WACA stands for the White House Communications Agency. The White House Communications Agency runs all the communications out of the White House. They handle the president's phone, the president's calls, so people can't prank call them and stuff. WACA, they're amazing. I've worked with them over and over. Whenever we go to a site with the Secret Service, they man the holding room with all the comms equipment so the president can always get in touch with the leaders of the free world.

1:00:45They do a great job. Just make the feed available through WACA and any independent journalism outlet that wants to cover it, i.e. like Trump TV, which is now streaming. now they have an app let them cover it i would rather get my news from breitbart our friend chris at bongino report works i would rather get my news from them than get it from cnn because the news you get from cnn ladies and gentlemen isn't real biden was not okay biden was not sharp as attack the russia thing was a hoax the fine people thing was a hoax the inject bleach thing was a hoax why would we give you special privileges to bs people when we can go to outlets of our choice and actually get the truth great idea sean waka make waka's feed available and just let whoever covers it wants to i'm i'm perfectly okay with that hey you know i if you you sense it with my show like we're trying to move the the latter part of the show into some lighters i don't do a lot of cultural commentary um it's not for any particular reason i just like i told you i'm my own executive producer here i talk about the stuff i really care about what i care about is winning elections and actual liberty and freedom unlike the uh you know death by uh by pr and uh and media mobs, goofballs who pretend to be part of them.

1:02:16We're the full ex-MAGA people. But one of the things at the end of the show I really enjoy and be getting a lot of good feedback on is these Make America Healthy Again segments because they're really important.

1:02:31Thank you. Bobby Kennedy probably loves that part. That's a great photo. He actually is pretty jacked. A little bit touched. A little bit. I mean, I could probably use a couple of those too. And Bobby's like 20 years older than me. this is an important tip here. I'm not into like the Mel Robbins podcast or whatever. She's got a very popular show. She had this guest with his name, Jeremy London. He is a doctor, an MD on the show. And I'm a little older. I know some of you are too. And I thought this is only about 60 seconds, but I thought this would be a good thing to get out there. It's kind of like a Dan Bongino, Make America Healthy Again public service announcement.

1:03:05What the hell should you do if God forbid, you're home and you think you're having a heart attack? He gives me like three tips. I got to tell you, I never thought this before. I hope this ever happens to you or anyone else. Please, Jesus. I'm just saying, these are some pretty darn good tips I'd never even thought of. Check this out. Dr. London, if you're home alone and you think you may be having a heart attack, what should you do? So number one, you're going to call 911. Number two, if it is nighttime, you are going to turn on the lights on your porch so that EMS can identify your house and you're going to open or at least unlock the front door so EMS can access your house.

1:03:49Because if you are incapacitated, they have no way to get in. Lay down or sit down. Lay down? Lay down. Lay down on the couch or sit down, whatever's comfortable, wherever you're breathing the easiest. Laying down and elevating your feet typically gives people the most relief. But put yourself stationary. So if you do pass out, you don't fall and add a head injury now to an already bad situation. And last but not least, call your family or friends to let them know what's happening so that somebody knows that EMS is coming and you're going to be taken to the hospital. I've heard take an aspirin.

1:04:30Like, is that something you should do too? Or is it not as important as 911? It is important. And not only do you want to take it, you want to chew it. Chew it. A 325 milligram aspirin. Yep. You want to chew it because that's the fastest way to get it into your system. Okay. I'm just trying to help. I really am just trying to help. I love these little tips and pointers. I never thought of that. Like unlock the door. God forbid you're by yourself. Or if your spouse or loved one or girlfriend or boyfriend is there, tell them to unlock the door. Here's one more for you. And I don't mean to end on a somber note, but you probably know the story, the awful story.

1:05:09The actress Hayden Panettiere, as you say her name, she passed. I just saw breaking news come over at the New York Times that apparently it was from fentanyl. If you're one of our younger audience members, and yes, we have a lot of them based on what happened at Auburn. I walked into the student section. We got like mugged. I mean, it was just great. I couldn't believe how many young people listened to the show. So thank you. this is for you now for those in the chat can you just acknowledge for everyone else here that i'm right about this when we were growing up yes there were dangerous drugs there was cocaine crack and there was meth and quaaludes everything drugs been around forever people drugs aren't new however when i was growing up and probably when you were growing up i don't remember you know fentanyl being a thing like i don't remember a single story of someone taking oxycodone, I don't think it was even around.

1:06:03People taking a pill and dying right away. I don't remember that happening. I know a lot of people who OD'd, but they OD'd because they did like, I grew up in a crazy neighborhood. They had some 8-ball with Coke and drank like a bottle of whiskey or something. You got these kids now, they take one pill and that's it, they're dead. To the young men and women who listen to my show, I'm not trying to be like, Popeye, eat your spinach. You don't need a lecture from me. I just don't want you to die. And what you think is a Xanax or a Percocet or whatever, an oxycodone pill, there's a damn good chance it's not and you're going to die.

1:06:41Again, regardless of your feelings about Dr. Phil, whatever, here's about a minute on exactly this problem that I think will do a lot of good. Don't take freaking pills if they're not from your doctor. Don't do it. Check this out. There's a story in the New York Times. 16-year-old boy in San Francisco, did what so many kids are doing that parents don't know. And here's what is happening. He bought a pill that he thought was Xanax, but he bought a pill that he thought was Xanax, went to bed, and never woke up. His mother found him, and she gave him Narcane twice. Two times, it wasn't enough. They did an autopsy on this boy.

1:07:31A lot of kids are getting these pills on these internet platforms and getting them delivered right to their house just like you would postmate a meal. And when they did the autopsy, they suspected fentanyl, but there was no fentanyl. What was it? Well, she saw something on the report she had never seen before. Cyclorphan. This is a synthetic opioid. Federal officials say that it is up to 10 times more potent than fentanyl. 18 days ago, the DEA used emergency powers to place this drug on Schedule 1 right next to heroin. So now that we've got cyclorphan involved, you can't test for it. Fentanyl test strips, they don't detect it.

1:08:20And there is no test strip for it. It just simply doesn't exist. So even if they were careful, they have no way to see if this deadly drug is in the pill they've ordered. Man, it's really an honor to have a lot of you young folks watching the show. Really, I can't say that enough. It's, I'm just elated that you're here and find this show even remotely interesting. You know, I'm not trying to be like the cool guy, whatever. Please don't do this, man. I'm telling you, like, there is a damn good chance someone listening to this show is going to try this and sadly is going to die. There's stuff out there.

1:09:05And can I throw in one more thing? With artificial intelligence, which is unquestionably going to be co-opted to develop even more powerful sedatives and opiates, the chances going forward of you dying are only going to get worse. If it doesn't come from your pharmacy, don't touch it. Oh, no, trust me. No, no, don't trust anybody. Don't be taking that stuff, please. That's a really frightening story. You know, I hope it helps just someone out there. You know, every day we pick a comment of the day if you'd like to join the 1776 Club. Well, what do I have to do?
