In short
Dan Bongino uses this episode to argue that the MAGA/conservative movement is being “hijacked from the inside” by people he portrays as liars and opportunists, causing dangerous chaos and undermining “objective truth.” He claims media bias is measurable: he cites polling that “trust in mass media” is under 20% (about one in five Americans). He attacks former 60 Minutes journalist Scott Pelley, saying he lacks evidence and promotes confusion. A major example is Bongino’s criticism of Turning Point event attendee Erica Kirk, after viral accusations that he says should be handled through due process. He also targets Tucker Carlson’s “Epstein class” claims, arguing Carlson is inconsistent and personally connected to Hunter Biden via emails and interventions (e.g., Georgetown-related help). He highlights Trump’s interview with Kristen Welker as “epic,” especially on Iran and nuclear development, and cites job-growth figures (e.g., 172,000 jobs) and California vote-count delays as further contrasts with Democrats. No guests are listed; the episode is solo-hosted by Dan Bongino.

I will, due to a last-minute, what do we call it, schedule change, guys? I don't know how to describe it. Unfortunately, there will not be a show tomorrow. I will be back on Wednesday. It's not an emergency. I'm not dying it is not health related it's nothing serious it's just an opportunity presented itself for something and I will talk to you about it on Wednesday also I will not be on the air Monday a week from today either it is also another opportunity it had presented itself and you'll understand it'll actually make for a better show the next day because having eyes on these matters, if you get where I'm going with this, is always better than hearing about it from the left-wing media later.
1:05You get it? Get it, got it. You see where I'm going with all this? So no show tomorrow. We'll be back on Wednesday. It's a good thing, not a bad thing. And I promise it'll make for a better show. I wish we didn't have to do it that way, but we do. So, well, some of you are figuring it out. to chat. So you guys in the chat are the best. We got this new shirt. I don't know if you like it. I love it. This was actually one of the few shirts that's ever been my idea. Most of the cool shirts are either from the audience or Paula. 250 years of freedom, liberty, and kicking ass. Couldn't think of any other way to say it.
1:48That's really what it is. I love me some history and thinking about Washington crossing the Delaware, guys with no shoes freezing to death and amazing two undefeated 250 year world champ 250 at freedom liberty and kicking ass you can check it out at the store what is it uh i'm at the worst i don't even know what stored up on gino.com up to you it's just we put them out there so i got a lot to talk about this week and let me just say in advance before we get to it i'm really sorry we have to do this I am I'm not effing around with you I don't ask for these things but when these things fall in my lap it is my obligation because what's starting to happen right now has gotten very serious I don't talk about it often because it's the show is about issues and not about me But when the issue is me, then it's my obligation to correct and expose what's really going on.
2:56So I'm really sorry about the portion of the show today. And I understand if it's not for you. But it's necessary. It's a long time coming. You'll see what I mean coming up. So I got a lot to talk about today, including Trump's interview this weekend with Kristen Welker, which was just epic with a capital E. Hey, many Americans try weight loss shots, but they quit due to costs, side effects, you know. Instead, I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. I used it. Product was amazing.

5:05So, I understand. You guys and ladies out there have real lives. You go out there and, you know, you're working for a living, your plumbers, your HVAC repair people, your engineers, pilots, military, law enforcement. You do things. You create value. Everyone from the, you know, guy or woman out there who creates furniture out there to the guy or woman who writes code that runs our businesses and our water plants and everything else. It's boring to talk about like what a bunch of talking heads have to say about each other. However, when what talking heads say about each other is epidemic of a larger problem within a movement, being infected with a mind virus, unfortunately, you are the story.
5:47So I was sitting around this weekend enjoying myself. It was a great weekend on the water. I love the water. It's just relaxing. I grew up in New York where the only water we had was a freaking fire hydrant. So for me living down here in Florida, you know, I wouldn't say like I have a salt life sticker on my car. That'd be kind of phony, be like wearing a cowboy hat when I'm from New York. I'm not from Texas. I'm not a cowboy, okay? However, I really do enjoy it out there. And I had to deal with some knuckleheads, okay? So I'm bringing this up because, ladies and gentlemen, we have a movement to save.
6:20And if you saw what happened to Erica Kirk this weekend at one of her turning point events, normal people would be just absolutely revolted and disgusted. You'd be vomiting like Reagan and the exorcist green pea soup. The movement, ladies and gentlemen, is being hijacked from the inside. I can't say this enough. It's not a coincidence that Hunter Biden has popped out of the woodwork screaming Epstein and the Jews with his old buddy Tucker and elsewhere, you know, popping on conservative shows, trying to decimate and destroy us from the inside and suckers are falling for it. You do not want to be these people.
6:57The truth is in front of you. The receipts are there. If you choose to believe this crazy stuff like the left believed in the Russia collusion hoax, I promise you you'll go down in flames as the Tower of Babel did. you need some component of objective truth to have a movement do not become these guys here's scott pelly from 60 minutes who now is not working there anymore we affectionately call it 61 minutes after the kamala harris trump campaign and that debacle where they tried to when they really screwed over president trump right scott pelly's not there so he gives an interview and i want you to listen to this is what happens when you have a movement not bedrocked and a compass true north and you get charlatans, clowns, goofballs, alcoholics, zeros, and basically sexual deviants who take over your movement, this is what happens.
7:47You wind up having a movement where nobody knows what the truth is anymore. Amazingly, Pelly's not working at 60 Minutes anymore because of a dispute over what he thinks was media bias or he doesn't understand why people think they're biased and he's looking for evidence. Now, Scott Pelly's a journalist, so we'll give him the evidence. And once we give him the evidence after this clip, let's see if Scott Pelley revises what he said. This is what the lack of truth looks like in a movement. Check this out. She, I am told, said something to the effect of why do you think the country thinks you're biased?
8:21But she didn't offer any kind of a metric. You know, what's your metric? Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about? Because we certainly didn't believe that. So is there a poll? Is there market research? Scott Pelley claims to be a journalist. You know, he could just look that up. He could go to like ChatGPT or Google Gemini or Grok or anything like that and say, hey, is there a poll about media bias? So because Scott Pelley, who claims to be a journalist at 60 Minutes and loves to brag about all his exploits and truth finding and truth, he probably still believes in the Russia hoax for all we know, right?
8:59We decided we were going to put up the poll, which has been on the show for days, which he could just look up himself. Hat tip, Christina Wong would put this out. Trust in the media since 1972 to 2025 is down 5.3 points. Justin's like, no, no, no, no. That's not what it says, Dan. It's not down 5.3 points. Trust in the media is down 53 points. 53 points. Trust in the media. Percentage of Americans who have a great deal or quite a lot of trust in the mass media. It is less than 20%. 19%. So one in five Americans, only one in five, actually less than one in five, actually trust the media. This is what it looks like when your freaking job is objective truth and you ass that up.
9:50This wasn't even mine. This took just in what? Less than two minutes? All sides, CBS News rated lean left. A total of 382 people rated CBS News. There's a poll right there. You can just look at it yourself. Maybe it was your role in promoting the Russia hoax. Maybe it was your role with Leslie Stahl. Sir!
10:16There was no spying on your campaign, sir. Did Leslie Stahl miss the FISA warrant? The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA court warrant on the Trump campaign. Leslie, Foreign Intelligence. Chat's blowing up. I love this. I love you guys. Always repping the cause. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act courts. Did you miss that, Les? Leslie, did you miss that?
10:52folks do not and i will not ever let it happen not on my watch here this is the most popular MAGA show out there there it's not in dispute that's just the facts okay i am not going to let this movement go down in flames i'm not i'm not going to let people hijack it i'm not going to bullshitters, clowns, bums, zeros, and life losers come in here and try to get people off compass true north into these witch hunts out there on where they start this bullshit. They throw a shit grenade in the tent and they run away. I'm not going to let it happen. So this happened this weekend at Turning Point. This is just disgraceful.
11:34Erica Kirk, who's an American hero at this point for what she's had to put up with. Her husband was brutally assassinated in a social media assassination where the video went viral probably before they even had the details. There is an active criminal investigation going on right now. And there is going to be a due process trial where people are going to have to swear to a set of facts, okay? Erica Kirk was at a Turning Point event this weekend and some freaking lunatic. Folks, this is getting dangerous. Let me just tell you, listen. Listen to me. This is really important.
12:15Someone, I'm not going to say someone's going to die because someone's already dead. I'm not going to say someone's going to get shot because multiple people have already been shot. I'm not going to say President Trump's life's going to be in danger because it's already in danger. Something is going to happen because of these lunatics. I don't make it about me, but we have had numerous issues. Here's Erica Kirk. This is me. This is just disgusting. Check this out. It is so fleeting, but the joy of the Lord withstands all. Erica Kirk protects pedophile. Erica Kirk protects pedophile.
13:08it's important to remember that happiness comes and goes and i pray that you find it
13:18of course the epitome of class it's funny how that absolute mother psychopath who's saying thinks they came out i don't know if it was a woman or a man based on how crazy these people I don't know what that was. But say it was a shrieking, crazy lunatic. Could have been a dude. I don't even know. Screaming like a lunatic. Actually thinks like that makes them look good. What you don't realize is the little bot army behind you getting you to do that is not a real authentic measure. Yes, there is a small cabal of crazy people just like you. But the rage bot army you get reinforcement is not real.
13:54Everyone else is either laughing at you or is horrified by you. as they sit there and watch Erica Kirk gracefully have to deal with a lunatic after her husband was murdered, a patriot and a hero for the movement. Folks, this is what it looks like. This is what it looks like when you get off Compass True North and you get known, documented, here's the receipts, liars and frauds running this movement. so I saw Tucker had that dipshit Jimmy Doof or whatever the F his name is that he calls himself a comedian I don't even know what he is who knows but we're on the show again and they have this weird like it's this passive aggressive kind of thing where Tucker didn't have the balls to say anything direct so what he does he brings his people on and he has his social media people do it because he's a eunuch.
14:50Okay? He's a little Nepo baby. He's never him and his life loser zero of a brother. Their daddy's probably looking down in disgrace that they spawn these two losers. But he decides to go on a show and gets all cute with his social media people. Again, with the Epstein and the Jews and all this stuff. This is just their entire life. Which is kind of weird because his buddy, Tucker's buddy, who were both Nepo babies themselves, Hunter Biden, they were buddies? If there was ever an Epstein class of people, it's these two. It's these two whose entire lives, these little bosom buddies, Hunter Carlson, the tag team, like the Road Warriors in the WWF or something, like a little tag team, they slap each other off, are like two little Nepo babies who've never earned a single thing in their entire life.
15:48little bums, losers. And Tucker, I mean, Tucker's, his brother, Fuckly Buckley, you know, Fuckly, he's another one. And a little Nepo baby bum. What does he do exactly? So they decide to go on the show and bring their little surrogate, Jimmy Doof, in there. And of course, they have to bullshit you again. So I'll show you some receipts to show you how Tucker's just making this up because he just needs. Again, Tucker wants to make sure and these people that maximum chaos results and that this kind of stuff happens at turning point. Not that we focus on what's going on in geopolitics, the economy, the government cleanup happening now.
16:37None of that. Hat tip Milk Bar TV for this amazing compilation. So you think Tucker's a beacon of truth? You're one of his audience members. You're like, no, Dan, he's a truth teller. Tucker's the guy. He's the compass true north. Is he? Here is three straight minutes of a now nuclear viral video of fucker Tarlson out there for three minutes, basically debating himself. You only have to debate yourself when you don't remember your own lies. You want receipts? Here you go. Check this out. My view is you can kind of tell who's telling the truth. You can smell it. You know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist.
17:20I have not said that. On your show, you said, could this be the Antichrist? I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? Could this be the Antichrist? Um, I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips. Raise some eyebrows this week when you said that Hamas is more like a political organization than a terror group. Hamas is a group of jihadis. They're Islamic extremists, which they also claim constantly. I don't know if that's true, by the way. It seems more like a political organization. I didn't actually say that. The future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race.
17:59It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent. You said in our previous interview, the future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race. It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent. I'm amazed that you have a tape of me saying that and I just want to disavow it. A lot of young men in America, mostly white but not exclusively, listen to Nick Fuentes really carefully. This kid is the single most influential figure among young white men and not just white actually. Is that true? Well, it's definitely true.
18:36Of course, half the thing was about Fuentes and like who cares Fuentes? There was a lot of Fuentes. Who cares about Fuentes? Talk about irrelevant. America's supporting Israel because it's an ally. I don't even know what those words mean. I'm just saying my principle is... They're an ally, right? I mean, they both... I don't know what that means to be an ally. Qatar is like one of our closest allies in the world. The largest American airbase in the Middle East is in Qatar. They're a close ally of ours. I come to Israel and the infrastructure we're flying in. And I said to my buddy, I was like, man, first it looks great.
19:07I love the agriculture in Israel because it's beautiful. I love green. I love plants. I remember when it didn't look like that. Yeah, yeah. First time I came in 53 years ago. It's great. Israel, which is one of the single ugliest countries in the world. Nothing of beauty has been built there since 1948. Sorry. I've been everywhere in that country, and it's true. Let me get to the nub of the question, since, again, a lot is at stake. A lot of money is at stake. Land is very valuable. Israel has a lot of resources. We have a huge country. This is a country the size of New Jersey with no resources.
19:35An attack on Western civilization looks like this. It's tribalism. It's identity politics, it's DEI, it's whatever. It's Zionism. It's any belief system that begins with the understanding that one group is morally superior to other groups. Well, just on principle, like every other group in the world has the right to its own homeland, except white people, like what? JD has been subject to, this is well known, but I'll just confirm it, nonstop treachery. I'm accusing people of treachery, so I'm wondering. Who do you mean specifically? I don't, you know, I don't know the answer to that. I've never worked there.
20:12So like, if you don't work there, you can say, you know, you can say what you think you know, but it's hard to really know. If I was telling my kids, if you think someone's lying to you, you're right. It's not my words. See, unlike fucker Tarleton, right? Guy's face looks like a dirty fucking Q-tip. He gives that stupid look and that cackle. unlike fucker i actually did stop like did stuff actual stop i didn't see him volunteering for anything i didn't see him want to give up his show and walk away from all that for a government salary so tucker's finds it convenient always to bring people on and it's always two things with them because remember there's only one criteria to for tucker to be your friend that appears at this point and that's like where you are on the jews like that's it that seems to be his only criteria and then conveniently hunter biden like pops up again and goes on was it candace owens's show and starts talking about what the epstein class and the jews epstein class The connected elites.
21:29These are the connected elites. Pull up. Chat GPT or something. You think I'm making this up? Tucker Carlson's talking about like the connected elites and the Epstein class. Tell me about Tucker Carlson's relationship with Hunter Biden. This isn't me. This is Chat GPT. Tucker and Hunter Biden appear to have a friendly personal relationship for years before Carlson became one of Hunter Biden's most prominent media critics. Wow, they were buddies? Here's some key facts that emerged from emails and public reporting. Carlson and his wife asked Hunter for help regarding their son Buckley's application to Georgetown University.
22:10It cites the Washington Post. Other emails suggest that two were on friendly terms. Hunter referred to Carlson as a friend. Carlson reportedly intervened with a newspaper editor on Hunter's behalf regarding a personal story, Business Insider, and it goes on. You can check it out yourself. And they're talking about the Epstein class. I tell you what, my father was a plumber. My mother worked in finest supermarket at 64th Place and Myrtle Avenue. I worked in a cemetery cleaning mausoleums. I was a New York City cop, a Secret Service agent, and went and ran the FBI for the past year. I never had some Nepo baby connections.
22:48I don't know what you're, it's not my fault. life has been paved for you and now you're angry because you are the class of people you're talking about. You're it. It's not me. Folks, it's fairly obvious what he's doing right now and he's causing a very dangerous situation. I get it. Being a public figure, I've said it over and over. It unfortunately comes with the territory, but that doesn't mean I welcome it and I have a family too. So if you're going to bullshit people about me, which are, you know, your goofy ass Jimmy Douchebag, whatever the hell his name is, on the show about the whole Epstein thing.
23:24I asked, well, what did you do? Because it's already public information how I didn't want to let the case go. It was an entire news cycle over the summer in case you missed it. Oh, yeah, we talked about that, didn't we, too? You know this. It's already been reported by multiple people in the administration. It's there right there. The people that really appreciated what a big deal to start talking about the Epstein case, were Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. It goes on. These are people, outlets, by the way, that don't even like me. Vanity Fair, New York Times. The two top FBI officials, Patel and Bongino, had been pushing for a broader release of the Epstein material after finding little in the files and added what was already widely known about the president's interactions with Mr.
24:15Epstein. It's right there. You can read it all. Of course, it's all public.
24:21he knows that now jimmy douchebag doesn't know jimmy douchebag has probably got the iq of a speckled toad sloth but tucker knows that tucker just wants to cause a dangerous situation for me and others now the fact that i was always on the side of transparency here and it was a process believe me it was complicated there's grand jury material victims names anyone telling you it was I told you there's no heroes in the story, okay? There were a lot of people who really tried hard to get this. And now it's out there and you can check it out yourself. But painting me as part of some like elite class of people covering up this thing, when I was resolutely focused on it and tasked hundreds of guys to this case to go through everything on it, you're just doing it because either you want me to get hurt or you want other people to get hurt too.
25:19He knows that's bullshit. By the way, Tucker's son worked in the administration himself. It's just a fact. I'm sure he aired his grievances, right? Oh, he did. Oh, that's off limits. My family's okay. Did he air his grievances? I don't know. I don't know. Folks, you don't want to become like these people, Scott Pelley and this freaking lunatic. This is what happens when you start to get, when objective truth doesn't matter, and a bunch of snake oil salesmen, hucksters, and bullshit artists at a 1920s carnival start to take off and start to gain prominence. This is how the Tower of Babel happens, when there is no objective truth anymore.
26:09and clowns like this loser who just played to you three minutes of receipts from Milk Bar TV. What else could you possibly want to hear that he's making this? I just showed you receipts, how the story he's telling you about Epstein and the Epstein class, he is the Epstein class. I was on the other side of that, but he's inverted it because it's convenient for him because he likes to hurt. He likes to hurt people. This is what happens. when this happens, and there's no objective true north anymore, no compass true north. Here's a Grand Platinum rally. They interview some lady. They ask a very simple question.
26:49Hey, does it bother you that he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest? And the lady just kind of gaffes it off. But then they say, well, what if he had an Israeli flag? Oh, well, that's a bridge too far. I don't, wherever you stand on the country of Israel and have a relationship, that's up to you. but just to be clear a nazi insignia is okay but an israeli flag isn't you really want to be a part of this movement check this out uh totem pope tattoo the nazi tattoo what like what how do you kind of somebody said that they talked to somebody who who had seen one of those or wore one of those and it was silver and it didn't even occur to him that it was the same thing i think people are making as much of it as they can, because they don't have a lot of substance around anything else.
Read the full transcript
27:38And if they did, we'd hear about it. Believe me. They are trolling for dirt. What if he has like a Israeli flag tattoo or something? Would that be a deal breaker? For me? Yeah. Honestly, yeah. That would be a deal. Israeli? Yeah. Because I don't support genocide and he doesn't either. And that would show that he was being inconsistent. And he's been very consistent about this. Straight across the board. Keep in mind, if this lady would have said the end part of that, the end part, hey, I just disagree with what Israel's doing in Gaza or elsewhere. Fine, vote however you want. That's your call.
28:20That's your call. That's not the point. The point is she has no problem with a Nazi tattoo. and then she's like no no that's a bridge too far folks i told you you don't want a part of that movement man you know where this goes you can read a history book just like i can when your only criteria you know it's incredible again that that fuckly and fucker right like all they want to do they don't want to talk about bill clinton in those files they don't want to talk about all of the people who's talking shit about it and then their names popped up in the file and All of a sudden, everybody got quiet.
28:58They don't want to talk about any of that. They don't want to talk about the people who cared about getting it out there for you to see it. Why is that? Maybe because I just won't come out and say I hate the Jews. Because I don't. And I'm going to fight that shit. Always. Always. Any kind of collective hatred to any group. That's the only. I promise you. If I were to come out tomorrow and shamefully utter those words, you would never hear another word about it. Fact. It's all bullshit, man. Don't fall for it. All right, quick break. I got a lot more to get to, including there's a big meltdown going on over soon to be acting DNI Bill Palti.
29:45Donald Trump's already said, President Trump, it's a temporary thing. Everyone needs to, like, chill for a second on this thing. I got that. And lucky Trump strikes again, of course. This guy's the luckiest guy ever. Folks, weight loss injections are everywhere, but here's the catch. About 15 % of users quit. You know, the cost, another 15 % stop because of side effects. A while back, I told you, you know, after the whole treatment and stuff, I went through that health scare. I put on some weight. My joints were really bothering me. So I lost about 35 pounds using Lean. It's the best product on the market, in my opinion.
30:19I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. Here's why. These weight loss shots, they work by helping control blood sugar and appetite so you eat less. No argument, the shots can work for many 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 injections don't. It helped my body turn fat into energy, so I burned fat instead of storing it. My favorite part, Lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not an injection. There's no prescriptions. There's no needles. I lost weight with Lean.
30:49I love the product. I believe you can too. Me and Paula both use it. Go to brickhousenutrition.com slash Dan. Use promo code Dan for 20 % off. Great product. brickhousenutrition.com slash Dan.

There's been like a meltdown over Bill Pulte being named acting DNI after DNI now Tulsi Gabbard steps aside.
32:39She's got a medical crisis in her family. OK, so the meltdown has been just I've I haven't seen anything like it in a long time. Now, I saw this at The Wall Street Journal, and this is long overdue. Maybe he's the change agent they need on a temporary basis. I just give the guy a shot. Wall Street Journal has a piece up where Donald Trump told him that you got to clean the place out. Folks, the DNI, my humble opinion, Evan, worked. And it's not a reflection of any specific person. And it's just the whole creation of the DNI post 9-11. It was just another bureaucracy on top of the bureaucracy. Again, it's not a reflection of any particular personality or person.
33:19It's just tautologically was another layer on top of a layer that, in my opinion, haven't worked inside the IC over the past year and haven't seen the interaction. I just don't think, and I think President Trump might agree based on some of the comments we've seen coming out, that we don't need this entire huge office of another intelligence bureaucracy. It didn't help. It didn't help stop the Russia hoax. You know, a lot of intel gets missed when there's constant emails and people need, you know, 35 different people need to, you know, sign off on something. Give the guy a shot. See what he does.
33:53You don't like it. He's only acting. Whatever, you move on. We find a permanent person for the spot. But the meltdown, I think it's emanating from people in the intel bureaucracy just desperately trying to hold on to our jobs. But listen, the Trump team's not messing around, folks. The Trump administration, contrary to the people who only all they want to talk about is the Jews and Epstein. That's all they want to talk about, right? And bullshit, conspiracy theories, and other stuff. The Trump team is not messing around. They are producing W's and W's every day in less than two years on the job that you can choose to ignore, but I'm not going to ignore them because my kids live in this country.
34:31And I elected and chose this president on my ballot and elected myself, but chose him on my ballot because I wanted someone to go up and go back into the White House and shake things up. Look at this chart by E.J. Antony. How do you ignore this? This is a chart. The number of federal bureaucrats, he notes, declined again in May. The 17th straight month of declines. Look at this chart. People have talked about leaning out the federal bureaucracy for seriously, like 7 ,000 years, like pre-Declaration of Independence. They've always talked about this. Nobody actually does it. This is happening right now.
35:09If Pulte goes in and clears up the bureaucratic mess over there, too, it's another W. you. He has assembled a set of people in his administration, President Trump, who ask simple questions like, why isn't this fixed yet? Why isn't this fixed yet? He's got a rock star team of talent. And I'm not, you know, I'm not telling you like the trust me, bro. So I'm telling you, just pay attention. That's not trust me. That's a chart. Federal bureaucrats and government workers are down dramatically. Like that's an actual number. That's like a compass true north objective fact. Here he is. Here's Marco Rubio asked again about Iran.
35:53And the only reason I bring Iran up now too is because it's really odd. Like how many people who hate this president really want like the death to America Iranians to win? They're obviously, their economy's struggling. Their oil system's fracturing. They're breaking down. They can't find people to make decisions. And you constantly hear on the news, like how great the Iranians are. Like they're like cheering on the other side, like number one foamy figure. Go Iranian mullahs. It is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. So they catch Marco Rubio, Secretary of State at NSA, National Security Advisor, Plainside.
36:27And they ask him about this exact question. Check this out. The Iranian foreign minister accusing U.S. and Israel of genocide. The Iranian. Oh, OK. Well, he's an expert in genocide. They're experts in that because, you know, they sponsor terrorism all over the world and they've killed thousands and thousands of people. Look at the Middle East. Look at the Middle East guys. Every problem in the Middle East tracks back to Iran. Hezbollah? Iran. Shia militias that are destroying and threatening Iraq? Iran. Hamas? Iran. The Houthis? Iran. The Assad when he was in Syria? Iran. the only kind the way i mean everywhere you turn they're behind all of it they are a destabilizing dangerous evil force that had to be dealt with they have to be weakened yeah fact check true so president trump gave an interview did you catch the kirsten welker is it kirsten i don't know the welker interview this weekend this is some just grade a like prime stake material right here they get into a conversation about iran too and i just want Like these media people, the questions they ask are so like, questions are good.
37:39A back and forth is good. But these are questions. They're like, when did you stop beating your wife questions? It's just ridiculous. Like they're cheering for the Iranians. Listen to President Trump with Kristen Welker, who seemed so flustered by this whole interview. Some of the screenshots of like the looks and the back and forth are just epic. But here's his answer on this topic, too. This is important. It's true. Check this out. Iran was the closest to developing weapons-grade uranium after you ripped up the nuclear deal because there were no guardrails in place. They were developing it during the nuclear deal.
38:15You don't know that? What? Iran, when Obama signed that stupid deal, where he paid them billions and billions of dollars. He thought he could bribe them. Listen to me. They were developing a nuclear weapon. That's how they got there. They got all of this uranium during Obama. You know that, don't you? Well, that's how they got there. Don't say this. They got there, they developed it during the Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, during his administration. And they've escalated their development after the deal was created. They've escalated anything. Let's talk about the economy. Let me just tell you something.
38:49I want to talk about the economy. If I didn't go in there with the B-2 bombers, they would right now have a nuclear weapon, and it could be that half of the world would be eradicated. I love when she tries to change the topic the minute Donald Trump, President Trump, brings up the fact that they never stopped trying to produce a nuclear weapon. Oh, Kristen, you're going to tell me you sure? Like you were in on those briefings? Because I was. I don't know where you were. You know something different? I was in on those briefings. Not sure you were there. I don't remember seeing you there. I would have recognized you.
39:21I don't remember going, hey, what's she doing in here? She just doesn't know. Oh, let's talk about the economy. Okay, let's talk about the economy. Matter of fact, let's cover lucky Trump on the economy again. Here's lucky Trump on the economy. This is CNN, by the way, that hates Donald Trump, okay? Here is CNN forced to cover, by the way, a story that must have been very traumatizing for them. In addition to E.J. Antony's tweet about government bureaucrats collapsing because Donald Trump is leaning out the government workforce, trusting the media at an all-time low. Again, it's a data point, right?
39:54It's a data point, right? Here's actual numbers. This isn't bullshit. This isn't the Jews did it. The Epstein class. These are actual numbers, actual added jobs to the economy. You know, again, a thing that's actually happening when people are telling you nothing is happening. We're talking about the Jews and all that stuff. Here's CNN forced to cover the amazing job numbers. They don't even know what to say. And I love what he said. But at one point, they're like, roughly 100. No, no, it's actually closer to 200 ,000 every month when you read the actual numbers in the revisions. Check this out.
40:25The U.S. economy adding 172 ,000 jobs last month. That easily surpassed the forecast, which was for 105 ,000. Also, March and April were both revised higher. That is encouraging. And that means that the U.S. economy has now added 100 ,000 jobs or more in three straight months. We haven't seen that in more than two years. What do you mean 100 ,000 or more? Can you put those numbers up again? Lucky Trump strikes again. One was 214 ,000. That's like or more. One was what, 179 ,000? That's like 79 ,000 or mores. And then what's the other one, like 74 ,000 if my memory's good? That's like 74 ,000 or more or 72.
41:09I'm sorry, 72, guys. That's a lot of or mores. You could cover that two ways. You could say, well, close to 200 ,000 average, which would be accurate. Or you could say 100 ,000 or more. You notice every single thing they say is slanted in a way to make it sound worse. This is not journalism. It's bullshit. That is encouraging. And that means that the U.S. economy has now added 100 ,000 jobs or more in three straight months. We haven't seen that in more than two years. Two years. Wow. It's almost like things are happening. Now, compare and contrast. Who did that? I'm sorry. If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, you've got to watch the show on Rubble.
41:50That's great. Very good. Very good. I like it. Compare and contrast that with what's going on in your liberal, you know, Mount Olympus, California, where they can't even count the freaking votes. Ladies and gentlemen, Election Day is close to a week ago. They still don't know who the first and second place finishers are in the gubernatorial race, in the mayor's race, and the other primary races. They don't know. This is your liberal. This is what you want to compare it to. This guy, the president's racking up dubs upon dubs upon dubs. Lucky Trump strikes again. The left can't even count a vote.
42:35You get these media people, these people. It's 100 ,000 or more. That's a lot of more. Here's President Trump again with Kirsten, Kristen Welker this weekend. When he's talking about like, hey, are you, is this an election or what? Or a freaking clown show? Are you guys ever going to figure out who won this race? The Democrats could institute some simple rules in California. Get your ballot in by election day. We'll count them in advance like we do in Florida. We'll have a result. They just choose not to because they love the chaos. Because the chaos creates opportunity for them. Here's Trump calling her out on this.
43:09And I'm going to play an election official. Desperately trying to explain this thing away. Check this out. Four days. And they aren't even close to coming up with it. That's how they count the votes in California. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election. Do you have evidence to support that? All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. That's not evidence. And I listen. And I listen to people. And let's see what happens. But, sir, that's not evidence. Do you think it's appropriate? That's how they count the votes in California. Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking one?
43:39State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging. No, they're crooked. They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California. They're crooked. Just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked. And meet the press is crooked. To be fair, I'm not crooked. Really? Well, you play right into the hands. Let's continue. You're either crooked or you're stupid. Last time a left-wing media news outlet pulled the, there's no evidence of that. It resulted in an emoji on my show, an emoticon.
44:11There's no evidence of that, sir. here's an LA County election official trying to explain why again the Trump Muttley's in the chat Muttley's in the chat Muttley's in the chat we love us at Muttley's is that the Muttley sir combo is is devastating it's it's a lot it's like the Marvel DC crossover event I spoke about last week. The Mutley-Sir combo, just the chat should just like nuke itself like a mushroom cloud. That is way too much humor for one chat room, a Mutley-Sir combo. Tear it up in the chat. Tear it up. I need to see the chat because it's your show too. It's always been your show. I love doing this show.
45:01Listen to this guy in LA trying to explain why they still can't count the vote. And I want you to like for a second just try to be objective and tell me if you buy any of this stuff you tell me how my daughter just took a test my youngest one it's a statewide test in florida she comes home same day dad i got up on this test i said wow great job amelia i'm like they do it quick now yeah right away instantly remember scantrons we were in school you knew the test result the minute they put the freaking scantron sheet there how the hell can't they count a freaking ballot here newsome just ask ron desantis in florida how they do it you could do that you just don't want to listen these people try to explain this away check this out is this taking so long what do you want to say to them well actually in truth we're we're ahead of the pace that we've been in in past elections is that the reality is in california uh the the laws the election laws allow voters the greatest opportunity and options for when and where to cast their ballots.
46:07At L.A. County's Ballot Processing Center, about 400 employees are working two 10-12 hour shifts following Tuesday's primary election. Dean Logan is the county's registrar recorder and county clerk. It's pretty close to nonstop, pretty close to around the clock. Obviously, for transparency purposes, we don't want to be counting ballots in the dark of night. Californians can vote in person or use drop-off boxes or by mail. Professor Christian Gross is the director of USC's Democracy and Fair Elections Lab. He says a lot of people waited until the last minute to mail their ballots. The U.S. Postal Service has gotten slower.
46:45They have less resources. Mail takes longer than it used to, especially coming from places that are more rural. The professor says the process may feel a bit slower this time around because there are so many tight contests like the governor's race and L.A. mayor, so projections can't be made. holy moses i was just thinking about it i took two standardized tests wait i mean even though it's not citing my andy can i get a dispensation it has something to do with education but it's not like are you are you okay in the chat you know the rules right you cite your education or even hint at it you're probably a jerk off so i hate that look at me i got an md pd great congratulations bro you're awesome we love you my dispensation good Andy okay I took the GMATs and the MCATs within like I don't know six months of each other I have to go look at the days but it was bang bang bang folks you get the score right away you get the score right away how hard is it to counter freaking vote I vote for this guy I vote for that guy they have one for this guy what do we have to do you ever see like these guys in prison who mark the days left and they put like five and then five lines, they scrape them into a wall.
47:57Do we have to do that? It reminds me of that line from like the usual suspects. Remember that line? Hey, we can place you in Queens on the night of the robbery. Yeah, I live in Queens. You got a team of monkeys working around the clock on that. Like how hard is this to do? Just count the freaking votes, count them. And if it comes in after election day, it's no good. Ask Florida. Can someone contact Ron DeSantis' office, please. Governor DeSantis, can you just give Gavin Newsom a call and just tell him how we do it in Florida? Florida, it's like polls close at whatever, eight or nine. It's like within like five minutes, you got results coming in.
48:34And then things done in an hour or two. This isn't hard. I can't with these guys. How do you compare and contrast the modern MAGA movement? Federal bureaucracy going down, job numbers solid, GDP growth's really good. We've got just this energy revolution going on. You've got the safest America you've ever lived in. You've got all this stuff happening. These are real numbers. And you compare and contrast it with a bunch of goofballs in California who don't even know how to do a Scantron test we call elections, right? And then all you got the left whining about is the Epstein class and the billionaires.
49:16They don't have anything else. Donald Trump, Pito, Erica Kirk, Dan Bunch of Peter. This is all they have. They don't have anything. It's their guys. It's a data point. It's a data point. Data point. All right. Last break. And I got another gem. Again, showing you how when Democrats try to create a member contrast, you always got to point out what you're doing versus what someone else is talking about not doing. The contrast matters when you bring the receipts. But watch what happens when the Democrats try to create a contrast and it totally freaking blows up in their face this is just glorious again a reminder uh no no show tomorrow everything's cool in case you're tuning in a little bit late i will be back on wednesday live uh hayley and vince will be on their shows uh tomorrow super cool and then monday i will not be in a monday either i've got a special event so um you know life sometimes gets in the way.
50:15And it's a live show. Folks, we used to, not that you really should care about this and Guy hates when I talk about internal stuff, but once in a while we would tape a show in advance. I don't like it, especially with Donald Trump in office because the news cycle is just bang, bang. I don't like it. I'd rather just not do a show and only tape something and you know, like it's a live show. It's meant to be live unless there's some kind of emergency or something. There you go. So got that. Hey, most people don't wake up and choose to feel exhausted or foggy. It builds up over time. You're doing everything right.
50:44Your energy just crashes by midday. Your focus feels off. Your body's just not responding the way it's used to. Unfortunately, I know all too much about this. These aren't discipline issues. They're signals. Signals that hormones, metabolism, or nutrient levels may be out of balance. This is one of my favorite new sponsors. They came to the office. Simple blood. I learned so much. Joy and Blokes was created for people who are tired of guessing and being dismissed. I'm already super health focused, but I realized I hadn't done a really comprehensive lab in a long time. I was just checking the same things.
51:17It's stuff I hadn't really thought about. Joy and Blokes, they came to the office, drew some blood. Within a week, I had insights across 71 biomarkers. A couple of them, I'm pretty darn glad I did. And consult with a licensed clinician. They helped turn that data into a personalized plan. I actioned about two weeks ago. I already feel better.

52:28Gold. They mine it out of the ground, and when it's gone, it's gone. Governments can't just print more gold. That's why I'm a big fan of gold. That's why everyone from central banks to savvy savers are diversified with gold and why I believe smart retirement savers should at least learn about physical gold. Gold isn't a government promise. It's real, tangible wealth people have trusted for thousands of years, especially when paper promises feel shaky.

This is what happens when crazy lunatic liberals try to create a contrast but don't have actual receipts to back it up. They never do. Everything they tell you is bullshit. Here's Anna Navarro on CNN. Billionaires, billionaires love liberals. There's a billionaire running for the California governor's race, Tom Steyer, a big liberal, where they can't even count the damn votes.
53:47Why doesn't he donate some of his money to a PAC that helps clean up the damn election systems? Billionaires love liberals. They get their little tax code carve-outs. They get their subsidies. They get their cheap immigrant labor. They get their regulatory capture. They get the first mover advantage of government icing out the little guy. Liberals, billionaires, they're buddies. They're buddies. Don't buy the bullshit. Check this out. Donald Trump lives in a white billionaire bubble. And if you are a multimillionaire, if you are a billionaire, you're doing very well. Because the stock market, despite everything else that's going on, is going strong.
54:23But if you are one of the people who shops at Costco and goes home with 30 rolls of toilet paper and 20 pounds of ground beef, You are feeling it. And these people that Trump hangs out with on a daily basis, the billionaires in his cabinet, the billionaires at Mar-a-Lago, the billionaires that he invites to the White House, they are not feeling it. And he just, you know, he is clueless. When he says that affordability doesn't mean anything to anybody, it means a hell of a lot to the people who can't get health care. Actually, most billionaires now are Democrats. Because those premiums, actually they're not.
55:00Yes, they are. For every billionaire who gave Donald Trump money, Kamala Harris got two. So this is really a Democrat issue. A lot of billionaires in Mar-a-Lago. Next for us. Body of Sargon spitting facts there. Billionaires? Billionaires love Donald Trump. Maybe some billionaires do, but more billionaires seem to love Kamala Harris because billionaires love an overly aggressive government because the regulatory costs of small business and mid-sized business competitors to comply with the government, create a first mover, a like Porter's Five Forces advantage, where the first person out of the gate winds up winning because the little guy can't catch up because they don't have a 6 ,000-person legal department to handle the government.
55:42It's like the cost of competition. Liberals love billionaires, and billionaires love them back. They are totally full of shit. Billionaires have been given to Democrats forever with the hope that the, it's the Republicans, it's the old conservative guard here that has been arguing forever for a free and fair economy where everybody gets the same shot. No one gets special gifts. It's the Democrats doing all this stuff. Donald Trump brought it up himself in one of the debates with Hillary with all the special tax code carve-outs. He's like, because you guys want all this. Of course people are going to.
56:14That's why billionaires love him. I know. And Justin's like, what are you talking about? Like, I buy ground beef. Justin's like, do you get the healthy ground? I like the one with the fat in it. You got to roll that fat in there, that ground beef. grass-fed 90. I like it. I need some of the fat in there. And then you get, of course, from the Democrats again, a bunch of nothing is happening people who want to panic you before the midterms to make you believe that nothing is happening when in fact things are happening everywhere. I don't know if you saw this, folks, but another big, huge, enormous law enforcement public safety story that doomers and pillars and others are going to tell you nothing's happening because they don't want to lose.
56:54I told you. They want to come and shit in your Cheerios bowl and pretend nothing happened. You ever see that scene from Police Academy 2, whatever it was, where the cat takes a dump in the guy's cereal and he flips it? It's one of the most disgusting scenes of all time. You guys remember my aging myself now? Like that was a movie back in the day. It was a satirical comedy Police Academy. That's the Democrats and the pillars. They want to come in and take a big dump in your bowl of Cheerios because they don't want you to know this stuff. Here was acting attorney general, hopefully soon to be attorney general, Todd Blanche, who Donald Trump has picked for the role.
57:30We'll see what happens with the Senate. Talking about another, another huge news story that you need to hear about and you need to vote on. You want a safe America? You're getting one right now. Don't change course. Check this out. ...in Kansas and California that you found, and they were providing material support to ISIS. And the details are quite something. One said it was sick if his name was on a drone that would kill American service members. Another person said they always wanted to kill a female soldier by beheading. I wish I could kill 300 million Americans. These are bad guys, and now they're indicted.
58:06Yes, this is a very disturbing case. You have young men, they're in their 20s, completely indoctrinated by terrorism and by terrorists and actually spending money to actually follow through on these attacks. Like you just said, one wanted their name written on a drone to kill Americans. One fantasized about killing a female soldier by beheading her. And look, another great example of hardworking FBI agents and our federal prosecutors in California and Kansas and working together. And I'm glad we were able to interject here and stop these men. But it's a good reminder to the Americans that this fight is not over.
58:46There are still a lot of people that want to inject harm into this country and our citizens. You know, I've been telling you about this drone threat for a long time. This is real. I saw, thank you, audience archivist Judy, Judy S. She's been with us forever. That was actually my mother's name. You don't meet a lot of Judy's. That was a popular name after the Wizard of Oz and Judy Garland. You don't see a lot of Judy's anymore. but she on her I forget what her Twitter is but on her x account she posted a link to I think the show is only on SoundCloud of me talking about drones seriously like 10 years ago how huge of a problem this is so we had Sebastian Quarka counter-terror advisor to President Trump on last week and he's not lying like this was an obsession of mine when I got in there because this is a very real threat it's only a matter of time before one of these hits happens here and we've got to make sure we stay on top of it.
59:39And I promise you, like this administration is absolutely resolute and understands the gravity of this threat. So, you know, I love also these Maha moments. I'm a health hacker. You see it, I talk about it all the time. And I like to leave you with these little points. I'm about 80, 20 on this. You know, the show's for you. I enjoy the interaction. The chat makes the show, I think, special in that it's your show too. Many of you have been with me a long time. I appreciate seeing you every day. about 80 20 about 20 percent of people like i don't really listen for like health tips or whatever and that's cool that's fine like not every piece of content is going to be for every single person but i feel like you know my obligation given what i've been through health wise like to put this stuff out there you know we love uh dr ronda right she was on the show dr ronda patrick she's fantastic here is our maha moment of the day where she's talking about a really serious problem these people who tell you like hey man i operate on like three four hours sleep every night and it's all right if if you have to you have to have you worked midnights at the white house for a long time and i probably slept four hours because you have to i understand you got working people out there but if it's optional if it's optional and you're not like in a really bad work time where your hours are crunched and compressed folks you gotta sleep man it is the ultimate life hack it is the quickest way to like destroy your health here she talks about the consequences of not getting good sleep check this out
1:01:04It's kind of mind-blowing how quickly you can gain visceral fat. Sleep is a big one. When you miss sleep, that is something that you can start to gain visceral fat very quickly. There was a study in healthy young men. These men were sleep-restricted. Typically, when sleep-restriction studies are done, you're looking at four hours of sleep per night. So pretty severe. Not out of the ordinary. I did many of those college, graduate school, deadlines, definitely as a new parent. I mean, it's unfortunately drags on for months. So these men were only sleeping four hours a night for two weeks. Okay, these were healthy young men, college-age students.
1:01:44Okay, young. They gained 11 % visceral fat after that two weeks, but not a pound on the scale. But they had 11 % higher visceral fat after just, you know, two weeks of not getting enough sleep. And they weighed the same? Pretty much. So it was the composition of their body that's shifting. Yes. Hey, man, I know it's hard. I know it's hard. I did shift work for five years. It was brutal. And life gets in the way. Not everything's perfect. You're not going to get to sleep in a feather bed and pitch dark 65 degrees eight hours a night. But if you can, try to get it done. Thank you for all the comments in the chat.
1:02:24Some of you really love this stuff. Some of you don't. But I like to keep the show really diverse. All right, listen, I'm really sorry we have to do this. But if something happens, I want the truth out there. The truth is out there for people to find. The thing is, they don't want to find it. And, you know, I'm just a guy with a wife and kids like anyone else. I have no special powers. I'm a pretty busted up 51-year-old guy who's been through a lot of crap. and it's was a great experience and i'm not talking about the last year i'm talking about just like with the cancer and stuff that was an amazing experience and i loved it and i'm glad i did it and i'm proud of it between the violent crime crackdown the internal reforms the drone program the fISA reforms the personnel moves the reorganization And yes, I'm also proud of all of the push for transparency in not just the Epstein case, but others.
1:03:30Again, I'm not a superhero, man. I'm not Magneto. But if something happens, I want the truth out there. Because I want you to know who's lying to me or not. Because I promise, this has nothing to do with that. This has everything to do with the position I took a long time ago against people who've singled out a group of people. and want to do this collective identity politics, leftist bullshit as a way to divide our movement. And I'm not going to let it happen. If that ever becomes our movement, then I'm out. We'll start our own movement. But that's not it. So again, no show tomorrow. I will be back on Wednesday, hopefully with some really cool updates.
