How Does This End? (Ep. 2467)

22:03Bush was at 77%. Obama was at 77%. Look at this. 86 % of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point. That is higher than either Obama or Bush had within their own party at this point. Trump's magic touch has not seemed to war off yet when it comes to the Republican base.

22:24Dan Bongino:Folks, if you read that piece, I just told you about by Insurrection Barbie there. You're going to see that this Black Pillar Doomer movement, they're bigger enemies to you than the liberal media. This isn't even about Donald Trump to them. He's just kind of a symptom of a larger problem that they've lost control of what is the base of the conservative Republican movement and they want to hijack it and steal it or else they're going to destroy it. They don't care if Donald Trump goes down in flames or JD or Rubio or anyone else. the problem is they're losing. That's CNN numbers, folks. You think the fake news bullshitters at CNN are going to put out a poll?

23:06All they do is engage an agitprop that destroyed Donald Trump. What possible motivation would they have for running a segment saying, hey, honestly, guys, he's more popular than Obama was within his party at this stage? The answer is they can't run away from it. If you're going to run a poll, you're going to report it, or else you're probably going to leak. I just don't want you all to get depressed You see the bots, the bullshit, the bot comments and all this shit And you really start to believe it sometimes Like, man, we're overwhelmed We're not overwhelmed We are the super majority in our party It's a little crew of losers Little kids in their basement Sitting there eating Pop-Tarts Controlling like 50 bot accounts We hate to choose, whatever It's all it is They have no real power You see that now We're back And now you see it Here's a great clip yesterday You know I talk about this show your ass theory all the time Because the liberal media plays into this The liberal media will run a thousand stories about Mutiny on the right Fracture on the right MAGA Civil War Watch my show earlier this week It's important The one called MAGA Civil War If you missed it Please go back and watch it It's all fake The liberal media The liberal media subscribes to this anti-anti-communist theory.

24:25Gutfeld here describes it in a second. I'm going to play this video in a five. This is excellent. I call it show your ass theory. But David Horowitz called it the anti-anti-communist theory. And it's this. Pay attention. For those who are P1s, you know this. But if you're a new listener to the show, you will only understand the left and their unholy alliances. That was a book David Horowitz wrote. How the left will claim to be. I'll give you a quick example. we're all for LGBTQ1A spirit rights and then they're like but we love Iran well the Iranians throw gay people off a roof that's okay with it why is that?

24:59that seems like there's an asymmetry there we love people who are gay they're throwing gays off the roof we love gay people throw them off the roof we love gay people doesn't seem to work when you understand the anti-anti-communist theory and unholy alliances as Horowitz called them you will understand this gut-filled equipment it's this we ladies and gentlemen and this conservative movement is a rebellion against communism, collectivism, and the lack of freedom. We are the anti-communist, correct? Everybody get it? Pretty simple, right? Get it, got it, good. The left hates us. They will align with anyone because they are the anti-anti-communist.

25:36They don't care who is against us as long as who is against us hurts us, the anti-communist. If they have to align with Iranian mullahs who behead gays in a town square and parade them around like Medusa from Clash of the Titans, they're good with that. All they care about is who hates us. There's no guiding principle to it at all. Read Horowitz's book, Unholy Alliance, if you doubt any of this. The left will align with anyone Communists, fascists, neo-Nazis Black pillars, doomers, fake conservatives They don't give a shit As long as they think they can use it to attack the anti-communists Here's Greg Gutfeld explaining this a little simpler And talking about how the left This is how they always find themselves on the wrong side of every issue Once you see this, you can never unsee it Check this out The trend continues They pick the wrong side every time Democrats act like the plight of Kilmar Obrego Garcia was worse than women being trafficked, raped and murdered.

26:44They spent more time on that. They spent more time on the freedom of speech of illegal radicals on campus than they did on October 7th. They felt that men in dresses had priority over the kids they wanted to teach. This is their zombie mode. You know, they put polling before people and they think their polling is based on the loudest voices. They forgot October 7th. That's why you have the plight of the Palestinians, which is a media generated story. They forgot the tens of thousands of Iranians that have been killed in the last month. They always choose the bad guy because Trump sides with the good.

27:19That's it. He just nailed it. That is show your ass anti-anti-communist. They don't care. Don't ever forget that. You see it in what I also call the ox's gourd, who's ox's gourd approach, where the media. So the media has a hierarchy of people they hate At the top is obviously Donald Trump Right below there you have JD and Rubio You know right below there you have your Ted Cruz's and others They have to dismantle these people no matter what Right? So if you were say I don't know where I am Fourth, fifth, tenth, who the hell knows But somewhere on that hierarchy If they want to attack me They'll go find someone they hated in the past Doesn't matter who it is Ted Cruz who they say they'll call him in a far right lunatic senator the minutes say he would if attacked me he wouldn't but you get the point they'll be like respected Texas senator it's all bullshit once you see it I promise you'll never unsee it and once you learn to see it and your antenna go up you learn to laugh at it I've been in this business a long time man in a lot of roles

28:25Dan Bongino:candidate, activist, government, outside of government, podcast, radio, TV. You don't have to like me. It's all true. I've seen a lot of phonies and fakes and frauds. I've seen a lot of good people. But one thing I'm telling you for sure is the liberal media people are full of shit. And that anti-anti-communist theory is absolutely real. If I were to turn tomorrow, I promise you, turn tomorrow and say Donald Trump sucks, I would be a hero on the left. They would never mention a single thing they wrote about me in the past again Guaranteed John Bolton's a perfect example They hated that guy Absent his legal issues now They hated that guy The minute he turned on Trump, book him on CNN Anti-anti-communist, man Quick break and then coming back This is a really important clip, folks Technology is exploding, AI is exploding It's all coming together right now.

29:26Warfare, surveillance technology, artificial intelligence, the expansion, the future of military fighting, all of this stuff. Remember, a lot of technology, a significant part of the technology developed for military purposes, whether it's GPS or other things, even to some small degree, the modern Internet, the architecture of that. A lot of that comes from military advancements And a lot of those military advancements Come during wartime and hostilities

29:56Dan Bongino:You're about to see an explosion of new technology I got that And then, you know, Media Matters loves my show They watch it every day Welcome, fellas, they write about it every day It was kind of hilarious yesterday They wrote a piece Dan Bongino says this military experience has been invaluable Yeah, it has Do you not understand how combat works for these guys? Of course, experience in military combat is going to generate, as I was just saying, technological advancements and betterments for our military as we learn from each mission how to make it better. Media Matters thought that was controversial.

30:29Dan Bongino:That's why Media Matters doesn't really matter. But welcome, fellas. Good to see you watching my show every day. Every day. I hope we get a few extra views out of you cats. Hey, when spring rolls around, I always get that urge to reset everything, just get life running a little bit smoother. And one upgrade that's made the biggest difference for me, I've always had a Helix mattress folks you need a good night's sleep H-E-L-I-X I had one of those mattresses in the past that just wasn't a good fit for me and that's my shoulders I would wake up and my shoulders would hurt went with Helix this is like my second or third had one up in D.C.

31:04Dan Bongino:as well my Helix mattress I've had it for quite a while it's genuinely transformed my sleep and you need good sleep it's great for your mental and physical health you wake up in the morning you feel refreshed you all know what a bad night's sleep feels like Paula went to sleep really late last night. I kind of, I got into her a little bit of smile. I was like, Paula, you go to sleep so late. I was working all night. You got to get a good night's sleep. Before Helix, nights were rough. Like I said, I was having some shoulder issues. I love my Helix mattress. I took their sleep quiz. So you take the sleep quiz and you're going to get paired with the perfect setup for how you sleep, just like I did.

31:37Dan Bongino:And within the first week, you are going to feel a difference. I do. It's the best rest I've ever had. I wake up refreshed. Instead of dragging myself out of the bed, complaining, and it's wild how much better the entire day feels. Right now, Helix has an exclusive offer for the Bongino Show audience. Just go to helixsleep.com slash Dan, H-E-L-I-X, helixsleep.com slash Dan, and get 27 % off sitewide. That's helixsleep.com slash Dan for 27 % off sitewide. Make the switch today.

32:19Dan Bongino:Get a good night's sleep. Helixsleep.com slash Dan. So folks, tech and people, because Media Matters are just morons. They're a bunch of 18-year-olds sitting on their couch, eating, you know, Hot Pockets, sitting there writing about stuff that people do. You know, I always say, you know, people do big things. Little people write about big people who do big things. That's the Media Matters, folks. Technology and people are best tested on the battlefield when it comes to war I mean, I don't understand what's remotely controversial about that Anyone in the chat disagree? I was not in the military I don't pretend to know what a combat scenario is like I did not serve in our military It's the greatest regret of my life I talk about it all the time Here's the good news and bad news, Al The good news about these technological advancements and every military exercise in theater is going to develop technology and enhancements that are going to filter down into the economy, the good news is that our lethality is going to, we're already there.

33:19Dan Bongino:It's just exploded, especially from standoff positions. I want to play this clip. This is Brett Vilikovic, very smart guy. He's on Fox just the other day talking about the integration of advanced computing, AI, targeting, some of the things I addressed yesterday and how this has just basically been a huge force multiplier for the U.S. military that other countries just can't match. Check this out. The real story here, Jesse, is how America's AI crushed Iran's response time, and that included using AI for drone technology. This isn't AI theory anymore, Jesse. This is AI combat, and it's happening now.

33:53The reports were clear. Our forces used various AI tools, which processed mountains of intel, satellites, drone feeds, signals faster than any human ever could and compressed the kill chain to hours, not days. And we had nearly 900 strikes during the opening operation, key regime figures dead, enemy capabilities flattened before they could even blink. And that's what happens when you pair world-class AI with our best and brightest American operators who, as we speak, are bringing justice to the thousands of brutally murdered by the Iranian regime. And what I believe we witnessed here was one of the most decisive, technologically game-changing moments in modern-day military history, and America delivered it.

34:32The strikes are going to send a message, frankly, far beyond Iran. It tells adversaries around the world that we just officially crossed a threshold with our weaponry where artificial intelligence isn't just a buzzword. It's being embedded into real battlefield decisions going forward. But fair warning, Jesse, when machines start picking targets, we as a nation better ask who's checking the machines. Is there going to be no human in the loop or will human commanders actually steer these decisions because the AI is only as good as the people training it are? And there's a world of difference between AI assisting a military commander and AI deciding who lives or dies.

35:07So Data Martian in the chat, Data Martian says this is great because everyone was saying China was so far ahead. They were saying that that was the liberal media people. You just made my point. Totally unintentional segue. Liberal media folks, most of them cannot stand the free market constitutional republic United States. They want this to be a communist country. They will side with Chinese agitprop China's the one telling you they're better than us Folks, they're not Their weapons totally shit the bed in Iran Shit the bed They collapsed This is the good news portion of this I always give you both sides Unlike the liberal media buffoons The other piece of good news AI is compressing the kill chain As Brett Velikovic said They just make decisions quicker I'll give you an example in medicine It may take a radiologist who's looking at an imaging tool on cancer.

36:03It may take him a half an hour to go through it, get some measuring tools and look. AI does that in microseconds. It doesn't mean it does it better yet. It may, it may not. It just means it does it quicker. In the military, where you don't need to have served in the military to figure out, the quickest draw in the gunfight wins. That's where Vilikovic is going with this. So what's the problem for China? Folks, the problem for China is China cannot allow any honest AI to function and filter into society. What do I mean by that? It is a repressive communist regime. If you put in the Google search machine Tiananmen Square in China, you're not going to get an honest objective analysis of what Tiananmen Square was about and a freedom movement.

36:55You're not going to let you. China can't have AI that tells its people the truth. Their biggest fear is AI leading to some revolution, freedom revolution. They're never going to have the tools we have, ever. They just don't have the productivity. I'm not telling you it's not a threat. I'm just telling you that we are way ahead. And all of the bullshit about China's kicking our ass and all this technology. I'm telling you, it's not true. It's not true. They're a threat, a huge threat. but the degree of the threat matters. Everything in life is on the margin. I'm not arguing with you in the winter to put the heat on or not.

37:36The answer is how much heat, correct? That's the margin. It's not a binary. I'm not telling you China's not a threat. It's a huge threat. I'm telling you, if you're telling me on the margin, China is a more powerful military than us because you're just lying. There's no evidence of that.

37:55Dan Bongino:Here's the bad news. Folks, as I said to you before This stuff filters down into the economy A lot of this technology And a lot of this technology Is going to be used for surveillance In the future Ladies and gentlemen, there's just no way around it There is no way around it I saw this article in Futurism I finally got to it I've had it running in the show for like six days now And I finally got to it Jasmine, hang for a second I just want to tell you something Sorry, it's a live show open. This Futures' article about these meta glasses. Folks, if you're wearing these, you know, Facebook meta, these glasses, remember the old Google Glass where people put the glasses on and they were recording and they used to call them glass holes because people got upset about the article.

38:40Dan Bongino:You can put it up anytime. You know, they didn't like, people hated it because they felt like they were always being spied on. Folks, this stuff is not going away. And they note in this piece, read this piece, Futurism, Victor Tangerman. Regardless of the wearer of these glasses intention, much of the footage being recorded by the glasses is being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling. A pre-processing step in training AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage. It's a laborious process that companies often gloss over when discussing the prowess of their AI models.

39:21Folks, I I have been reading about these glasses. They are invaluable tools. Military, law enforcement, doctors. Imagine being a doctor doing a surgery and you have these glasses on and you miss a cancerous tumor in say a plastic surgery that you're doing. And the glasses say, doc, look at this. Now, wow, that's invaluable. Law enforcement, the ability to use potentially identification tools and environmental cues to pick out a suspect if you're in a foot pursuit. Military applications are going to be incredible However, folks, the Dan Bongino show is not going to bullshit you These surveillance tools are scary People used to pitch us tools like this all the time And Cash and I, our first answer was How does this protect civil liberties?

40:05What kind of guardrails can we put up? This is not going anywhere I read another piece, it's not in the show today But the gist of it was people wearing these Facebook glasses And I'm not telling you buy them or don't buy them That's up to you, do your thing, man But there are people who take these glasses off Forget they're on They put them on like their bedroom On the nightstand or whatever Who the hell knows what they're recording People forget they're wearing them I'll never forget one time Doing a media hit And I was in a studio I'm not going to say where And a guy with a microphone Went to the bathroom And forgot to turn the microphone on It was kind of hilarious It happens all the time.

40:48You really want people in there? In the bedroom watching? That's the bad news. This stuff is all going to be subject to federal law enforcement subpoenas in the future. Folks, you get bad people in charge and people are policy. I'm telling you, this isn't 10 years away. This is like next year. This stuff is going to happen. Be very careful. AI, facial recognition, you're not going to be able to go anywhere.

41:23But back to some good news. Body cams on law enforcement have been an absolute asset. I don't care what anyone tells you. I pushed this hard at the FBI to expand this. You deserve to see what people are doing who have guns and badges. And by the way, people with guns and badges who are falsely accused should consider this a tremendous asset. Body cams have been an amazing asset Because now you get to see in live time The split second decisions law enforcement has to make And now all these people Shoot him in the leg and all this other stuff Now when you see this stuff Do you see the footage that emerged yesterday Out of Austin?

42:02The attack that happened in Austin In the bar Guy comes in, shoots up the bar Kills a number of folks The body cam comes out yesterday Here's what I'm going to do here It's only about 20 seconds or so. I'm going to play the body cam from the police officer. And while I'm playing, I'm just going to put it out full screen here. I want you to think of a couple of things. All the liberal media and lefty lunatics who've never been in law enforcement, okay, at all. Shoot him in the leg. Why didn't you tell him 15 more times to stop? I want you to pay attention to how quickly this goes down, how little you can see of the actual target, the guy they took down, the attacker in this case, how little they can see.

42:40And I want you to ask yourself another thing. Why didn't you shoot him in the leg? When you're watching this, can you even see his legs? Check this out. Where is it? Who shot?

42:58Shots fired! Shots fired! This aspect is down!

43:05Stop moving! Stop moving! Don't move! Don't move! I'm on the surface. Move here now. I'm on the 6th and West.

43:20Dan Bongino:Folks, I want body cams, both on the guys that were in the FBI when I was in the NYPD, and I would like to see body cams, you know, Secret Service on law enforcement. You don't want them on protection. You don't want them to see in the president's movements. Because the public deserves to know what people we've entrusted with our lives and property to secure the public safety situation. I'd like to know what they're doing too. Civil liberties matter. But I think this is invaluable footage. Play this on a split screen for me. Look at this. Look how quick. Where is he? Where is he? People are understandably getting cover behind a car.

43:58This guy's got a long gun. The guy, there, there we go. We're just seconds in. Gunshots. Can you even see him? Look. You can, by the way, that's an amazing shot. I know a lot of the liberals out there in the media are like, oh, I could have taken him and I would have shot him in the toe or something. They're full of shit. You have no idea. This guy's a freaking hero for doing that. You have any idea how difficult it is while a guy is shooting at you with a rifle and a handgun? You've got a handgun? You can barely see him. Why do police officers train to shoot center mass and not shoot to kill?

44:36because center mass is the center, is the biggest target. You can barely see the guy. He's like, yes, try and stop the screen right before he goes down. You can't even see his legs. Geniuses in the media. I'm not telling you anybody deserves a free pass and a use of force situation. I'm just telling you to be realistic. You can't see anything there.

45:04Yeah, exactly. He's like, there's so few pixels on the screen of the body cam. The resolution isn't great. There's so few pixels. You can't even, you can barely see them.

45:19Dan Bongino:Folks, having, one thing I have done is serve in law enforcement, not in their military. And I'm proud of that. And I loved my time there. But there is a reason that the training happens the way it does. and that they don't shoot people in the leg or train to do that. They don't train to shoot to kill. They train to hit center mass. Center mass has vital organs. After you're shot, center mass, many people, not all, die. They do everything they can to save their lives. Now you see it. Good news, bad news, good news. Folks, technology is the force multiplier, though, not just for law enforcement, for military going forward.

46:03Just quickly, did you see this coverage of this missile strike on Khomeini's compound over in Iran? This was the New York Post. They put a tweet up. So this missile technology they put out there is just, again, there's nothing out there like this where smaller and mid-sized countries could compete with the U.S. military and the IDF on, where it goes outside the atmosphere and comes down in this way with this reentry vehicle. There's just no one who's going to be able to compete with this. The Iranians have no similar capabilities on these air-launched vehicles to do. They just don't. They've got a bunch of ballistic missiles, yeah, and even those have been taken out.

46:44This is like, seriously, the Iranians are like throwing rocks compared to IDF and U.S. technology. It's time for you to surrender quickly for the sake of your people. You have no, there's nowhere for you to go. There's only death. I don't mean to be melodramatic about it. I'm just being honest. There is only death for you in the Mullah class. Here's some video from yesterday. Here's a Reaper with a Hellfire missile taking out another launch vehicle. Everywhere these launch vehicles go, they just boom, disappear. You maybe get one shot to launch a missile before you pop. Oh, look, let's hide it under a tent.

47:24No one will see it there. That's not working out either. There's nowhere for them to go. The technology asymmetry, the gap is too large. Here's another Iranian ship taken out. Their navy is essentially gone. Not that they had much of a navy to begin with. The danger from them is more these small kind of swift boats. And even they're not going to stand much of a shot moving forward. Here's video of Khomeini's bunker being taken out. This is just utter complete destruction. Turns out he wasn't even in the bunker. He was above ground. but whatever is below ground is now completely, totally eviscerated.

48:04Now, the Israelis put this out. Now, I'm going to show you this for a reason. This is a rendering of what the emergency compound for Khomeini looked like. Now, as you're watching this, if you're listening on Apple and Spotify, please check this out on Rumble, 50-minute mark of the show. It's really important because some, you guys see where I'm going with this? Guy, you know where I'm going with it? Look at this rendering of what the compound looked like. Pretty detailed. How would they get that?

48:35Intelligence penetration? Folks, how the hell would you have a rendering like this? Do you understand how detailed this is? If you're missing this on Rumble, or like I said, on Apple and Spotify, please just check it out. They've got even like the classroom, probably the number of seats in the classroom. What does that tell you? I was more interested in this from another reason. It goes to show you the Israelis have penetrated just about every single level of the Iranian intelligence, you know, domestic paramilitary police, IRGC, they already knew, you think they did this in like five minutes and guessed?

49:12They know Tehran probably as well as they know areas of Israel. Whoever you think are your buddies in the Iranian Mullah leadership, they're now down to, like I said, seven degrees removed. I promise one of these guys is going to sell you out next. This is unbelievable, this rendering. Folks, and as I said before, this is going to have global repercussions. Global repercussions. China sold a bunch of military equipment to our adversaries around the world, supported their intelligence efforts, their ISR, their surveillance, their reconnaissance, efforts against the United States, infiltration on the tech side, cyber attacks.

49:57China hates us. Please put any bullshit aside. If you had any illusions, they don't. They do. They think our time is up and their time is now. Donald Trump said, not on my watch. Here's Peter Schweitzer again. He was on Fox the other day talking about just how bad this is turning out for China, given their Iranian proxies utter failure to do almost anything to counterattack the United States military in any effective way at all. Check this out. They're in a panic, Jesse. I mean, look, anytime you have these kinds of military operations that are taking place, they have ripple effects. These ripples are actually tidal waves in China.

50:36Think about it. over the last 58 days between what happened in Venezuela and what started happening in Iran, China has lost two of its most important allies in the developing world. They were big energy suppliers, about 20 to 25 percent of their energy. But China was able to buy that energy on the cheap because they were sanctioned companies. They were paying$15 a barrel less than anybody else was. And by the way, they weren't paying in U.S. dollars. They were paying in the Chinese currency And that has been a long term objective of China to move away from a dollar based economy. That is all gone.

51:14But it's having effects that we don't even fully appreciate. Jesse, look at the A.I. race. You think, what does this have to do with A.I.? Well, two of the biggest A.I. contractors in China are Huawei and ZTE. These are big telecom infrastructure companies. They're vital to China's A.I. capabilities. They both have huge contracts in Venezuela and Iran for which they are now not going to be paid. And, you know, we're talking about tens of billions of dollars in contracts of revenue that they were expecting to get that they weren't getting. They were doing a lot of A.I. testing in these countries.

51:52So the ramifications are enormous. And Donald Trump has really shifted the equation with China within a matter of less than two months. Folks, this guy is a genius. This is such a critical point. Scream N says in the chat, today's a turning point in history. You're damn right. The point at the end he made, brain tattoo time, folks, really, really important. The backbone of the communication networks in a lot of these adversarial countries to the United States, think of like cell tower type networks. Without them, you have nothing. No cell towers, no cell coverage. The entire backbone and infrastructure, the communication mechanisms, in Venezuela and elsewhere, have been outsourced to China.

52:37A lot of these countries are now finding themselves in absolute shambles. The repercussions of this for trying to take away the dollar's reserve currency are just, you are just starting to see the ripple effects, the bad ripple effects for our adversaries. I'm going to take just a really quick break here, and then I want to show you a tweet. Donald Trump 2013 Yes I said that correctly Not 2026 Showing you again From the you know MAGA mutiny Donald Trump's changed Nothing's changed He said the same thing He has been consistent I'm sorry you didn't do your homework If you believe that But receipts matter He has been saying And tweeting And interviewing About the exact same position They can't have a nuclear weapon We're not getting involved In forever wars It's only been a week.

53:30We're not going to let it happen. He's been saying the same thing. Incoming receipt coming up next. Quick break. Calci. Folks, you know I'm not a huge gambler,

Ladies and gentlemen, in the modern news cycle, that's the equivalent of B.C.

55:09We actually may be in the Jurassic era with the T-Rex and the Velociraptor. September 5th, 2013. While everyone is waiting and prepared for us to attack Syria Maybe we should knock the hell out of Iran And their nuclear capabilities Guys, I'm not like I'm just saying Like the Doomer class That keeps getting their ass kicked by polls And all this Their counter messaging keeps flopping To the Doomers and Black Pillars out there I mean at what point Do you say to yourself Maybe it's me that changed and not him

55:48I'm just throwing this out there too. This is back to serious mode here.

55:58Dan Bongino:If I were the Cuban regime, I'd be really worried right now. I'm not suggesting there's going to be a bombardment of Cuba tomorrow. I'm not suggesting, I'm not telling you this on any inside information. I'm just basing this on Donald Trump is clearly at this point at the finding out portion of his presidency. I don't know any other way to say it. I don't. He just doesn't want to hand generational problems to the next president. This is some video from two weeks ago. But I want you to remember something for you P1s out there. And thank you. Love you guys and ladies so much. you're the best. I've said this a lot.

56:49Dan Bongino:Now, you know what? Just play the clip and I get to say this. This is really important. This is Donald Trump on Cuba. Check this out. Cuba's doing very badly and they're failing. Cuba right now is, to put it mildly, a failing nation. And, you know, they have no money, they have no oil, they have no food. And it's really right now a nation in deep trouble and they want our help. I didn't want to, I want to make the point, but I think you should have saw that video first. If I'm in Cuba right now and I'm in leadership, I'm not happy. What I was going to say is if you're a P1, you know this. I've been saying forever.

57:22Donald Trump, when he was running for term, you know, for 47, our term now, a lot of people, do you guys remember this, said, oh, I'm not going to vote for him. I'm going to support, you know, DeSantis or Haley or whatever. And fine, fair enough, whatever. I'm not knocking other candidates for running because he's going to be a lame duck the minute he got in office. Do you guys remember that, you P1s? And I made the point, you're reading this all wrong, that he's going to be the exact opposite of a lame duck. He's going to be a guy on a mission who, after being politically, by weaponized government bureaucracies, hunted down in term 45 and in his post-presidency, in Biden's presidency, he's coming in here with a mission and he's got nothing to lose.

58:08I know you guys remember that. Now you're seeing it. My prediction was right. Go back. Where's audience archive is Judy? You've heard me say it a thousand times. If you know Donald Trump, he was not running in for this second term because he loves being, you know, impeached by a bunch of weaponized government assholes investigated by was a hugely weaponized FBI and intelligence agencies. He was running to here it is, folks, to get shit done. that's it. He wasn't running for the money. He wasn't running for the fame. He wasn't running because it's fun. He was running to get stuff done. Speaking of running, as I said to you yesterday, 2028 is right around the corner.

59:01Oh, my gosh, we're not through the midterm. I get it. I get it. The midterms are coming up this year. We got a lot. We got some concerns. I hope we do okay. I don't get into Doomer stuff, and I definitely don't get into Red Wave stuff. No evidence that's going to happen either. Just play it straight, show up and vote, 10-10-10. Email 10 people, call 10 people, make 10 social media posts before the election. That's your job. That's your job. That's what we got to do. You want to win elections? People got to go win elections. However, there's no question Hair Gel is going to run, Gavin Newsom. How he's going to run on his California resume is simply astonishing to me because his resume is just shit.

59:45Eventually, folks, you have to produce results. This guy's resume is pure hot smoking garbage. It is a total dumpster fire. There is nothing California leads in except bad stuff. Homelessness, U-Haul rates, poverty.

1:00:04they spend per pupil ridiculous amounts of money in their public schools failing people

1:00:14this is

1:00:15Dan Bongino:I'm sorry Guy is this your favorite video? you haven't told me that the render? oh he likes the rendering you know what I got that this is Katie Couric You know, diehard conservative champion Just kidding! Katie Couric, who's obviously a diehard liberal What was she like? Good morning, Mary I don't even remember She's interviewing Gavin Newsom All you need is the first 20 seconds of this She's asking him the same question we're asking This is a liberal Saying to Gavin Newsom Hey, you guys basically lead in all the stuff that sucks How are you going to run on this? It's not me, it's Katie Couric Check this out The highest poverty rate tied with Louisiana, the highest unemployment.

1:01:00And as Nick Kristof of the New York Times recently wrote, Mississippi schools outperform California schools, especially for poor kids. Now, people see that or hear that or read that, and they're like, no thanks, California. No thanks, Gavin Newsom. We're good. Yeah. I'm not going to even give you his answer. Sorry, I usually give you both sides. But the answer is such bullshit. I'm going to give Gavin Newsom one thing. And I mean, I'm going to give him credit for this. I'm not kidding. He's a politician. I'm not being an asshole about it. He's actually very good at wordsmithing things, unlike AOC.

1:01:37AOC just doesn't think clearly. The chat really doesn't like this guy. AOC is just not good at articulating what our brain is thinking about, if it even is thinking. Newsom's actually very good. I saw him in that debate with Ron DeSantis. Sometimes you come out of that debate thinking, wow, California is not as doing as badly as we know it is. Boondoggle, train projects, crime. Newsom is very good at bullshitting people. His answer is just a bunch of BS. The answer is, you know, Mississippi, which doesn't have the even close to the size of the economy as California does. their schools where they just implemented dramatic school accountability is just flying up the charts without all of this money per pupil and he just doesn't ever have an answer other than bullshit but we got candidates out there right now too that are big trouble quickly i don't like getting into kind of parochial races but it's important because folks we can't lose the u.s senate this midterm we have a pretty good field a lot of the states were racist let me just explain this quick if i explain this poorly tell me in the chat this specific midterm now every two years a third of the senate is up you get your 33 33 34 depends what class you're in the united states house of representatives i'm sorry but there are liberals listening who don't know this probably the manu raju crowd the house of representatives is up every two years only a third of the senate is.

1:03:10The Senate has six-year terms. I know you're laughing. However, there are liberals who don't know this, I promise you. They didn't take civics 101. This class that's up this year, this is actually a very good Republican field. A lot of the states that are on the ballot, their U.S. senators are in states Donald Trump won or performed well. We have some strong incumbents. This is a pretty good field this year. Folks, if we get smoked this year in this cycle in the Senate, If we don't do well, the next cycle during the presidential race where Donald Trump is not going to be on the ballot is brutal.

1:03:49What I'm telling you is think long term, unlike the short term thinking Democrats. What am I telling you? This is a math problem. Say we were to lose the Senate in this really good term, in this midterm coming up this year, 2026. Say it's 51 Democrat, 49 Republican. we lose. The next cycle during the presidential without Donald Trump on the ballot is brutal for us. It's a bunch of states. Donald Trump did not perform particularly well in Democrat states, no big mystery. Folks, we could lose basically a super majority. And if the filibuster even stands and the Democrats don't wipe it out, which I think they will, folks, we'll be in real trouble.

1:04:36I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just trying to tell you if we lose seats this cycle, we are screwed. We better get out there and start voting. That's why I'm covering this race in Texas because I don't take anything for granted. That phony Beto with the whole skateboard routine. Remember Beto O 'Rourke? They now have Beto 2.0. They've got this Tallarico guy. Tallarico guy. Remember Footloose preacher? Pretending to be like, oh, look at me. I'm this down-to-earth kind of preacher guy, sane, blue dog, old Democrat. He is not. Do not take this for granted. Texas, you got to get a lot. You got to get out and vote.

1:05:12Sorry, let me finish my thought. I hate when I do that. The primary turnout for Democrats in Texas, listen to me, was huge. Do not gaff this off. Oh, it's Texas. We're good. No. We're not good. We're okay. You got to expose this guy. Here is this lunatic, Tallarico, on prisons. Prisons, I thought, was a pretty bipartisan issue in Texas. You need them. Why? Who goes to prisons? Freaking bad guys. Listen to this Beto 2.0 AOC-like lunatic. Poverty is violence. Pollution is violence. And yes, prison is violence. Dismantle this system of violence. Build something new, something better, something rooted in love.

1:06:04it's hard to imagine a world without prisons but it's also hard to imagine a world without telegrams and cassette tapes just because it's hard to imagine doesn't mean you shouldn't huh what this guy's running in texas folks not illinois he's not running in california where that may fly ah prisons we don't need prisons Where are you going to send the bad guys? Where are you going to send them to therapy? Therapy? Really? You're going to have like a sociologist sit down a smoking jacket with a cigar Sir, you just raped three women and killed seven others How do you feel about that? Oh, I feel really bad Okay, thank you You're free to go now The dude is running in Texas It's my job to put the information out there You run with it Get that to 10, 10, and 10 today Wait, here's one more.

1:07:01This is funny. This is hilarious. Here's a split screener here that I pulled off X. Here's Tallarico saying, they're going to throw everything at me. They're going to call me a leftist. Brother, we're not calling you a leftist. You are a leftist. We're just calling you what you call yourself. And then I'm going to play MSNOW acknowledging this guy is not a moderate. He's full of shit. He's the fake footloose pastor. That's what he is. check this out they're scared of the movement we are building they're going to throw everything they have at us they're going to call me a radical leftist james talarico was cast is cat was cast and increasingly is still is cast i would say increasingly but still is cast as a moderate there is nothing he's not a moderate yeah he's a he is a he and jasmine crockett had basically the same positions on almost every issue.

1:07:57Okay. Okay. Don't listen to me. Listen to MSNOW.

1:08:04The guy is a lunatic. Who just said in the chat, he must lose? Yes. He must lose his right. We lose that seat in Texas, folks. We are absolutely effed like you wouldn't believe.

1:08:17Dan Bongino:Notary of public,$2. Thank you. I always appreciate the tips in the chat. Who's that? You don't have to do that. I mean, it's not a trick. It's not like triple reverse psychology. This is the only place where I tell people don't put money in there. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. You guys are great. All right, I don't want to focus too much on those guys because we do have a lot of good news too. Folks, we have a really good young crop of people out there in the House of Representatives and the Senate. I know we got old dogs in there people don't like. I get it. And, you know, I always tell you, like, Republicans aren't the solution to all your problems, but Democrats are the cause of all your problems.

1:08:56So in an imperfect world of level 10 choices, you have them too. You know, I talk about these level 10 choices when I was in the FBI where there's only a shitty decision and a shittier one. And it's not obvious which one it is. You deal with this every day in your life. There's nothing like, I'm not some like superhero. Hey, look at me. I do this. People in their businesses make these calls every day. People make these calls about their own kids every day. Take their phone, watch them melt down Don't take their phone Everybody deals with these things In elections, I'm sorry But voting for Democrats is never the answer I know you don't want to hear that Our opportunity to clean a lot of this stuff up Is in the primaries That's why there's a lot of stuff going on in Texas A lot of people love Ken Paxton I love Ken Paxton, he's a great guy I've known John Corn in a while He's always been good to me I'm telling you that's for the people of Texas You guys decide However, once that's over Once that's over The Democrat is not your guy That we don't need prisons in Texas I hope we can just all agree on that Speaking of Texas I gotta

1:10:05Dan Bongino:You know like in sports They have MVPs, Rookie of the Year Should we start Should we get this together with the Bongino Army Should we get together How producer Jim put this together? We should do a rookie of the year in Congress and the Senate. Well, Senate would be tough because there's not that many rookies today. I'm nominating this guy, Brandon Gill. I love Brandon. He's been a guest on the show. Known him for a little bit. Just a really great guy. Here's Brandon Gill up on Capitol Hill just bringing it again. This guy's been fantastic. Check this out. Would you agree that as governor, ultimately, you're responsible if tax dollars are defrauded?

1:10:43Yes, I would agree. Would you also agree that calling somebody racist is a serious accusation? If they are racist? I'm asking you, is that a serious accusation to make about somebody? I think it's just an observation of reality. All right, well, let's go there. Is it racist for a government official to identify fraud? No. No. Is it Islamophobic? to identify fraud to identify fraud i know i don't believe it would be how how come multiple whistleblowers have said that your administration told them not to say anything about widespread fraud across multiple agencies because doing so would be considered racist or islamophobic i can't speak to it because it's not anything i would say well that that's what your administration has said and has told whistleblowers and as you just testified the buck stops with you Johnny Angel 1362 Brandon Gill's a rising star You're damn right He's got a Clark Kent vibe Going too there With the little squiggly hair thing He does a little Different style than me I have this New York Kind of hyper-regressive style I get it Some people like it Some people don't Bongino Army You guys always been there for me Some of you tolerate it I get a lot of emails Dan, tone it down a little bit But I'll still listen I understand I get it It's hard for me I'm a high-energy guy I love the fact That this guy

1:12:06Dan Bongino:Takes the opposite approach Brandon Gill and just Walls doesn't know what to do. Well, your administration called people racist for just pointing out fraud. Is it racist or is it not?

1:12:18If there's a rookie of the year, he's in the running right now.

1:12:22Dan Bongino:The future's bright. I really like this guy a lot. Maybe he'll be in the governor's seat or maybe a Senate seat some point in the future. Maybe he has higher aspirations. I don't know. I can tell you knowing him and his family very well that he's a genuinely good guy behind the scenes too. I promise you, I would not bullshit you. Like he's a really decent guy. If there's a goat of the week, however, and I don't mean greatest of all time. I mean like bad goat, you know? If there's a goat of the week, it's gotta be Seth Moulton. Did you see this story yesterday? Of course, you know, Democrat zero.

1:13:00He brings a guest to the State of the Union trying to show the unfairness of our immigration enforcement in the United States. Seth Moulton's State of the Union guest, because it's a Boston Herald, by the way, is referenced in police reports involving, quote, sexual assault and juveniles, according to the police. Seth, you may, if you don't support vetting at the border, which you clearly don't, maybe do some vetting in your office. Just an idea, Seth. the point you were trying to make at the so-too State of the Union

1:13:40kind of blew up in your face.

1:13:44Dan Bongino:Maybe just like run a background check or something. This is what we're dealing with on the other side. Anti-anti-communist theory. We'll align with illegals in the country with credible criminal charges because they're against the MAGA coalition, The anti-communist. Is that not evident? You like how we tie that in? It wasn't intentional. 18th Street. Oh, yeah. Yes, and I mean, Jim's got his Democrat Zen. I'm not going to let you go this week without the Democrat Zen moment of the week from producer Jim. But I got another segment I want to cover here, too, because this is, again, for the doomers and the black pillars and the liberal media folks who want to trash everything that happened on the military, law enforcement, intel side, the massive reforms.

1:14:31Dan Bongino:that we all live through, that are not done, not even close. I told you, it took the Democrats, the liberals, and a lot of sellout Republicans 30 years to screw up the internal law enforcement, intel, military bureaucracy. It took a long time. I wish changes could happen overnight, but that's not the way it works. The government, unfortunately, is designed to throw monkey wrenches into everything. However, there is a lot of good news. And one of the things we focused on, I try to talk about this stuff too much because I really don't want to make the show about, you know, stuff we did. It seems kind of, you get the point.

1:15:10Dan Bongino:But it's important. I saw this on Fox right before we came on the air. One of the things President Trump and Cash and I focused on early. And by the way, you know, this is not like putting a shine on this. He really was concerned about this. I'm not just kind of like throwing around credit because I want to. He was very concerned. His take was, yes, national security is number one, but isn't the operation of FTOs, foreign terror organizations in the United States that are narco traffickers, isn't that national security too? I'm trying not to get too deep into it, but he was as serious as a heart attack about this.

1:15:48I'll give you an example. Wait, before we play the clip, guys. I was on a Will Cain show the other day on Fox. I don't know if you saw it or not. It's at four o 'clock on Fox News, the linear cable channel. And he pointed out this bar graph. Now, if you've seen this, I'm going to do you a favor here. And the bar graph showed terrorist encounters. I believe it was at the Southern Board. It may have been Northern and Southern. But I didn't know. obviously when you're doing a hit on TV, they don't always tell you what the topic's going to be. You just go in and you're looking at it live time. So I'm in the truck, trucks parked outside the studio doing a hit.

1:16:19You're in this tiny little truck. You got a screen in front of you, screen in your background. And all I can see in the prompter, because my eyes aren't great anymore, is this bar grip. But I had seen it before in a situation room meeting in the White House a while ago. And it shows this dramatic, basically, increase of terrorist encounters at the southern border just recently. And I was explaining to him that not all, but a significant portion of that number is important for you to understand. President Trump early in his tenure designated these narco traffickers, a lot of these groups as FTOs, foreign terror organizations.

1:16:56A lot of those people are from those specific groups that they're not any less dangerous. The point I'm trying to make is President Trump sees the national security picture different than prior presidents do. We tend to think of terrorism as solely Islamo-radicals. Significant threat, correct? We all get it. You're seeing it now with the mullahs. President Trump saw it from a bigger perspective and a wider lens. When he got into office with Stephen Miller and others, he's like, these people are terrorizing American communities every day. All right, it's a little long-winded, but it's really important you understand this.

1:17:30That was a transformational change that led to that spike because now we can treat them as terrorists using those specific national security tools. But that bled into the law enforcement space too, where early on, we organized this massive anti-gang operation around the country. Some of the, and you can look this up, it's all open source now. Operation Chalk Line, we had Summer Heat, the Kensington Drug Market we took down in Philadelphia, Operation Coast to Coast where we hit LA and New York. And in this, we've been focusing on for a while. This just happened this morning. Fox News. You guys got the Fox clip?

1:18:07I know I actually. This just happened before we came up on the air. But this is important for your national security, too. Check this out. Agents arresting 12 members of a ruthless street gang during an early morning raid in L.A. Officials say the 18th Street Gang is organized by the Mexican mafia and smuggles fentanyl and meth into the U.S. The 18th Street Gang is considered a rival of the infamous MS-13, and the feds tell us the 18th Street Gang uses Los Angeles as its main distribution point for selling drugs worldwide. Law enforcement busting 12 members of the transnational 18th Street Gang, including top brass, in an early morning sting Thursday called Operation Dead Horse.

1:18:51Folks, it's been going on for a long time. I get it. doomers. I get it. There's a reason your crime rate is the lowest it's ever been and you're living in the safest America ever. It's because the president looked at crime and national security as the same thing. Listen, liberal media assholes, forget the doomers for a second. I want you to understand this.

1:19:16The president saw this differently than any prior president, Republican or Democrat, and the dividends are paying off right now. He does not make the distinction between national security and crime like has been done in the past. And that's why your homicide rate is the lowest it's ever been. And the crime rate is the lowest it's ever been. It's because he decided to do things differently. That's a fact. That's not your opinion about the crime rate. It's fine. Fair. Free game. Do your thing. The fact that it's the lowest it's ever been Is not open for your interpretation He sees these things as intertwined That's why Now you see why you see the Terrorists interdicted at the border When you see the narco-terrorists And you use national security tools That's how you get to this situation That Kensington drug market in Philadelphia You know Any of you listeners out there from Pennsylvania That shit's been going on for years I said, get in there, man.

1:20:22Clean that thing out. And the SAC up there, they've been working on that forever. I said, let's go. It was a great operation.

1:20:31Having said that,

1:20:33Dan Bongino:you know what we do for you on Friday? Producer Jim loves putting this together. We'd love to leave you on Friday for a nice, peaceful weekend with our Democrat Zen moment. We all need Zen moments. We can meditate. it's like that uh what do they call that asmr stuff where people like they like the sound of scratching and stuff like that yeah yeah is that what it is i don't even know it's asmr well maybe i need to watch more scratching this is that asmr moment for you everybody can just chill and take it easy thank you producer jim for your democrat zen moment of the week Your Democrat Zen moment of the day.

1:21:18A peaceful moment to center your mind. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Things keep happening. Things like it's, I wake up. Oh my God. I wake up every day and it's like one thing after another, after another, after another. And it just, it's never ending. It's never, and as there's like just the seconds are going to go by. There's seconds and then there's minutes and then there's hours and then there's days and then there's weeks and then there's months and years and lifetimes. And if reincarnation is real, let me off the ride. I don't want to do it. Unlatch the fucking seatbelt. Unlatch the seatbelt like this.

1:21:54And let me off! This has been Democrat Zen. I don't know about you guys, but I just, I feel so much more relaxed and better right now.

1:22:06Dan Bongino:My blood pressure's already dropped. Systolic, diastolic, quite a few points. Folks, I don't even know if this stuff is, seriously, is this just an act? Is this a shtick? or are they really like this? You know, I wonder sometimes, is this how they really are? Because I don't hang around with these people anymore. I like to think I'm a keen observer of lunacy on the left, but I only see it from a distance. I don't have any friends anymore who are liberal Democrats. I have friends who are Democrats, but they're certainly not crazy. I don't have any friends like this. I don't even know if this is real or it's a shtick.

1:22:44Dan Bongino:hey man on a serious note again it's been uh now the end of week five i um i i can't take enough opportunities to thank you guys and ladies out there i uh really really appreciate you guys making this transition super smooth back to the air uh it's you guys i owe you everything i really do my livelihood my my sanity i you know i always knew during that uh year away i you know i knew you'd be there for me on the other side but i really appreciate it you know and again folks it's this is pod track it's not like the be all end all there are other metrics uh that measure podcast stuff uh i think this is for people who uh use the pod track rankings, whatever it may be, but I appreciate it.
