Is Tucker Okay? (Ep. 2548)

30:50And it's the size of eight football fields. And the only way you can end up with actual slices in one spot and not the other is that someone physically cut it. Notice there, this is an important clip. If you're watching on demand later on today, rewind it and listen again. Notice how Dana Bass Did you guys catch it? She does the same thing Cucker Tarlson And all the podcasts to stay in residence do She constantly changes Where the end zone is So she makes a claim Or insinuates that this basically Wasn't vandalism She's implying Yeah we actually have photos Then it changes Do you have photos of someone actually cutting it Like at the exact time And then it changes again to do you have someone cutting all 300 yards?

31:39Did you notice how it changed? You see how every time Bergram presents to her a fact or a piece of evidence, she does nothing but move the end zone, and then she does it again. She goes, are you 100 % sure? As if there's not a trial where people get to defend themselves. This is what they do. Throw out a bullshit claim. Throw out a bullshit claim. Dan Bongino's got Martian DNA. It's the most ridiculous. And then they go, well, you're not taking a blood test, so apparently it's true. The thing about the Carlson case that's so amazing is he keeps claiming he's got this thing that he won't show you while I keep telling him to show it to you, and he won't do it.

32:23And then he shows it to you, and it's the exact opposite. And people still defend it. No, no, it's real. It's real. Okay. Dana Carlson. They do the same thing. They just completely avoid their own fraudulent deception and move on to another thing. Why don't you get a blood test? Prove to us you're not a martyr. Holy Moses. They always regret this in the end, but we can keep going as long as it... However, you want to play ball? Let's play ball, folks. You know I love it. I get a kick out of it. In contrast to your... We're terrified. Sure. Terrified. I'm a bowtie guy. what's the bow tie guy gonna do really what's he gonna do what's bow tie guy gonna do he's like he's talking about the fakest tough guy around what's he gonna do he's gonna breathe on you or something he's got some really horrendous halitosis what's he gonna do breathe on you singe your facial hair folks these people hate you man I'm sorry that I have to inform you And I'm so glad like we have this audience out there of people who are starting to recognize this fight and just they're in the trenches ready to go.

33:41Like this army of people we have, they're just ready to go in this political battle back and forth. They're ready to go. These people are ready to go. And I mean that in a rhetorical, argumentative way. Of course, I abhor and fully reject any political violence and have over and over. But it's important to put that out there because we do get threats and stuff all the time. We don't talk about it that much, but and it's due to lunatics like that guy. But these people hate your guts. I saw this story yesterday and it reminded me of the similarities between the traitor Doomer class and the libs.

34:15It's a story about the New York city school system. So you got this guy, Mom Domi, in there who's a straight up communist telling you he's a man of the people, equality for everyone. Here's an article. Look at the date. July 7, 2026. Yes, I'd lose track of time. Carl Campanile, New York Post. Staggering 900 New York City public schools have failing students amid grade inflation and lacks accountability. There's a number in this article that's stunning. Half of these schools, a majority of the students can't read or write. Despite New York City, can't read or write at that grade level. Despite New York City spending, get a load of this.

34:54$36 ,000 per student and$40 billion a year $40 billion a year on the New York City public school system what's the entire budget of the state of Wisconsin $40 billion can you imagine what a parent could do in New York City that is incredible That is a staggering amount Imagine 36 ,000 You know what you could do with that? You could buy a freaking school You could homeschool Holy Moses These people are supposed to care about you

35:40Here's what I was talking about too I hate to bring this up After the World Cup loss And again, they played great It was a tough game The tournament was great enjoy it it's soccer have fun the liberals were so happy president trump came out against this red card thing now this is evidence of another i want to play president trump on a red card the other but i want to tell you why i'm bringing this up like dan this old news no it's not this is the what i'm going to call the caitlin clark phenomenon where you've got this entity in this enterprise right in that case the wnba in this case you got fifa right and you've got the greatest advocate for it in the world right now, the United States, in the case of WNBA, Caitlin Clark.

36:23But because you're so committed to destructive liberal ideas, you will just cut off your own face, cut off your own nose to destroy your own face just to make a point about how you are purely ideological and have nothing to do with logical reason. The liberals went crazy over this. Here was Trump on the red card. Check this out. So I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports and was a good athlete, and I understand sports really well, really well. And that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other. You can't take your foot and properly place it on somebody else's foot when you're going, no.

37:07These were two great athletes that got tangled up. And this referee who is a little bit suspect. If you check his past. I don't want to say that because I don't like to create controversy. But very suspect. If you'd like, I'll provide you with the past. Who cares about the red card? Again, President Trump's clearly just saying like, hey, I care about the United States. I thought it was a bullshit call. And the left goes, go Belgium. We hope the U.S. These people are crazy. President Trump is an obstacle. Whatever they can do to get him out of the way, including trying to embarrass him, even when he's trying to advocate for our team, Team USA.

37:58It's not Team Trump. It's Team USA. They lose their mind. This is the Caitlin Clark phenomenon. This is why the WNBA is going to continue to be a disaster. They've got this golden goose who I have no idea. I don't know. I don't watch the WNBA at all. I saw some games in college. I don't remember where she played, but I saw a couple games. That was it. I have never seen an Indiana Fever game, and nor do I care. I don't watch the WNBA. You've got this golden goose, just like we had this golden goose, Team USA. liberals who believe in DEI and can't believe that the woman's white and is successful and they're willing to destroy everything your enjoyment the league their own salaries they will burn the whole thing to the ground folks it's what happens when you let chaos agents in your movement who redirect you from compass true north they will ally with anyone including the death to America Iranians.

38:55These Tucker people that are going to lose their mind. President Trump dropped bombs on the Iranian death to America. Mueller's go Iran. Number one foamy finger. Go Iran. They're going to lose their minds today. They're going to make every excuse in the book why we should get in bed with Islamo fanatics. They really are friends in this game. What happens when they say death to America? They're just kidding. It's just a euphemism for we love America. It's just a translation problem. What? Have you ever read an intel report? Have you ever worked in law enforcement? Have you ever worked in counterintel, counterterror?

39:30Have you ever gotten a briefing? Have you ever, ever worked in a role that required you to analyze a legitimate national security? No. Why would anybody believe anything you say? Here, this is an old clip, but it's worth your time. Any of you in the chat know who Christopher Hitchens is? Listen, he was an atheist. He's no friend of like organized religion at all. It's an older clip. However, I have been very vocal, even more vocal after that year at the FBI, about the grave, near existential threat from Islamo fanatics like the death to America mullahs. They don't have to prove what they want to do.

40:15They've already done it. 9-11, Beirut, Lebanon. It's over. it's over and over they don't have to prove they want to kill us they've already killed us VBIEDs in Iraq many of us they'll say well you know this is a new thing this is the this is going to be the Islamofanatics their friends in podcast this is going to be their defense so I'm going to give you the counter to their defense this is a new thing it's only in response to us and our presence in the Middle East, so they should kill us. They should fly planes into our buildings and have 3 ,000 people burn alive and jump to their death. That's their logic.

40:57This is a new thing in response to our presence in the Middle East. Really? Here's an atheist, Christopher Hitchens, saying, really, if it's a new thing, how come the Islamo-fanatics have been doing this since Thomas Jefferson was in office? Really? Yeah, really. Check this out. In 1788, when the United States was barely a country, was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa. Tripoli. Tripoli, exactly. Shores of Tripoli. Shores of Tripoli. And its people, its ships stopped. Its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

41:39Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the Crusades. We weren't in the war in Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? And the ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul-Rahman, said, because the Koran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels. And that's our answer. And Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. And a good thing, too.

42:10Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie and it excuses those who are the real criminals and it blames us for the tax made of us. Don't have anything to do with this. Folks, Hitchens was not a MAGA guy. He was not a conservative. There he is explaining to you that as long as Islamo fanaticism has existed, which has been for centuries. They've been doing this. It's not a response to anything other than their desire to kill the infidels That's it You really think you're gonna, I mean, I don't encourage you to do this I want to be clear But some of you liberals out there defending these Islamofanatic Nazis I don't encourage you because I don't want you to die If you were to go and like sneak into Iran And start on a street corner like on a soapbox preaching about the importance of DEI nerds, it would be minutes before you're arrested and your fingers are probably cut off in a torture cell.

43:20I don't know why you don't understand that. The answer, well, I do know, because you just don't want to. Because you're anti-anti-communist. Hat tip, David Horowitz. We are the anti-communists. We're an obstacle to you because we're fighting your communist impulses. And you're the anti-anti-communist. You'll do anything you can to get us out of the way. I brought that up on Ingram last night too. Folks, the communists only care about power. That is it, and control. They don't care about tax rates, school choice, education, health care. They will take opposing positions and debate themselves to screw you over in the zero-sum game of freedom and liberty, to extinguish your freedom and liberty like a cigarette in a freaking ashtray, and take it for their own.

44:07If they're taking your money, then you can't spend it. It's zero-sum. Either it's under your control or their control. If they tell your kids where to go to school and you can't, it's either under your control or their control. If they tell you when and where you can go to the doctor, it's either under your control or their control. They will always, always take that control for themselves. These guys were nice enough to put this together. Now, I want to be clear as we premiere this segment for the first time, the gifts of socialism, that some of the stuff we're going to talk about in this segment will run occasionally here.

44:45The gifts of, and believe me, by gifts, we mean winky nod nod gifts, right? That most of this stuff isn't actually socialism. Socialism is the government control of an economy and its means of production. And it's political control too. However, it's the libs that keep telling us that government spending is socialism. So we're just going to use their own definition. Here's a segment by John Stossel on reason about government spending on a bathroom. Your definition of socialism, not mine. Let's see how successful your version of socialism works. This is Encyclopedia Volume 1 in The Gifts of Socialism.

45:28This little building is a$2 million bathroom. $2 million? I had to check it out. I was expecting gold-plated fixtures. It's just a toilet, couple urinals, two sinks, two million dollars. Do the people who use this part know what taxpayers paid for their bathroom? What should something like this cost? A couple thousand. 70 ,000? Approximately 100 ,000 maybe. They spent two million dollars. For this? Unbelievable. Wow. Your department puts out a statement, the current estimate to build a new bathroom is$3 million. It is now approaching, in some cases, going over$3 million. Mitchell Silver is New York's Parks Commissioner.

46:18This is the most expensive market in the world. So$2 million was a good deal here? $2 million was a good deal. We build these comfort stations to last. But you can buy whole houses in that neighborhood for less than what you spent on this bathroom. I hear that point often, and if you look at the material that we use compared to a home, these are very, very durable material. That's nice, but this bathroom is made of durable materials too. It's so beautiful that a newspaper said it might be the fanciest in New York, yet it costs one-fifth as much. Why? Well, it's in nearby Bryant Park, and Bryant Park is privately managed.

47:00The final reason this costs so much is that it took years to build it. It took less time to build the Empire State Building. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even see that part. When we did the show rundown and I sent it over, I missed the last part. It took seven years to build a freaking bathroom for Grand Platter. No, it's not a portage. I'm sorry. There's no blue water in that one. Maybe it'll have a blue, but it was a little fleshy thing. Seven freaking years? folks again this isn't even socialism which is a thousand times worse because they'll just kill you and you have no choice in you at least here you can still vote it's the democrats telling you this is socialism and even by their own definition they can't even build a place to take a dump that's it that's it they can't even do that they can't educate your kids they can't provide you health care they can do nothing they can't even get their facts straight on who's paying taxes to them.

47:57Imagine having a business who doesn't even know who their paying customers are. They're like, man, Al Sharpton, you got that blue haired lady on Caleb Hammer's show. The rich don't pay any taxes. Zero, 5%, nothing. Actually, they pay 40%. The richest 1 % pay for it. Imagine not knowing that and then bragging about how stupid you are. Imagine selling Obamacare to the public on a government shutdown that happened right as I came back on the air imagine coming back on the air for me there's a government shutdown because the democrats are bankrupting america because obamacare is so expensive and they were bragging about it we need more money and subsidies for obamacare we're shutting down the government i thought you told us it was going to reduce the cost did nobody pick up on that

48:47these this reminds me it's like remember see Spaceballs you did right you're Star Wars guys Lord Helmut like this is you're like worshipping Rick Moranis like Lord Helmut this is like your guy that's the communist leader of your new it's not Mandani it's Lord Helmut is his name Lord Helmut or something that's who you this is your guy an absolute moron are they doing a sequel to that by the way all right i gotta warn you about something serious too i was gonna title today's show uh you know you've been warned because this is really serious and i'm not like unnecessarily the matter of fact i'll take this i hate teases so stupid i'm gonna take a very quick break here but right just a minute but on the other side of this ladies and gentlemen you really want to lose your republic and i mean at rapid speed then just sit back and do nothing about the national popular vote compact what's that it's bad it's really bad and the fact that a lot of people are discussing it hey no one's talking people are talking about it but it's not being talked about enough this is a huge assault on our republic a huge assault i'll get to that just a second here hey if you're a homeowner you probably thought should i call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt?

50:10Then you second guess yourself because of the low mortgage rate you currently have. Well, listen up here. This is important. American Financing is a great company. That low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25 % or more. It's just math. That's math no one wants to face, but it's costing you thousands. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years. That's why people are calling American Financing because they're saving customers an average of$800 a month by using their equity to finally break free from those endless cycles of credit card debt.

50:41Make the math work for you. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront fees. There's no pressure. It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month. And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. Call American Financing today. Here's the number. 888-994-7660. It's a great company. Been with me for a long time, just give them a call, 888-994-7660, or visit them online. It's a.NET address, AmericanFinancing.net slash Bongino, AmericanFinancing.net slash Bongino. Thank you, American Financing. We really appreciate it. Ladies and gentlemen, as I just said, you've been warned.

51:16If you have the time, I would like you to read this article about the mechanics of this national popular vote, which I believe is an unconstitutional train wreck, which will destroy our republic at lightning speed, okay? There's an article we have up there at the Fed Society. We'll put up a link in the show notes or wherever you have. The Federalist Society. The National Popular Vote Compact, an end run around the Electoral College. Article just came out the other day. It is critically important you read this piece. The National Popular Vote Compact is very simple, very dangerous, but very simple.

51:51Because Democrats do not believe in the principles of federalism or the republic. Democrats want what's called direct democracy. Now that sounds great, just like democratic socialism, correct? The problem with direct democracy, where you could vote on every single thing and every single issue, is if I get an organized group of people to vote away your civil liberties, I can do it. That's not democracy at all. That's the old two wolves and a sheep arguing about what's for dinner. The answer is you, the sheep. We have a representative democracy. We have a constitutional republic that provides a layer against the tyranny of a majority.

52:36We have that for a reason. It's to protect the small farmer in Wisconsin. These guys screwed up before. It's to protect, you know, the rancher in Wyoming from the predations of big government from blue city, blue haired liberals in New York City who want to take away their rights. There's a reason that we have a republic that is more reflective of flourishing human liberty than the idea of a majority using their own tyranny to take away the rights of others. The National Popular Vote Compact is basically this. I live in the state of Florida. Say, God forbid, if they would never do it under Governor Ron DeSantis, who's been excellent.

53:19However, say a Democrat gets in charge and the Democrats magically take over Florida. they could say, listen, we are signing on to this national popular vote compact where we will give our electoral college votes. We will give them to whoever wins the national popular vote, regardless if Florida votes for the Democrat or the Republican. It doesn't matter. Your vote will mean nothing. Now, combine that with the recent abomination, I believe, of a Supreme Court ruling that says that election day is really election season. and that you can vote past election day. And can you imagine what the next presidential election would look like?

54:00Just imagine this, put yourself, you think there's chaos now with the voter fraud that we know exists. I'll show you a story tomorrow. I'll show you a story tomorrow. We know it exists, right? The question is only the degree and if it's changed elections. That wasn't the only question. We know it exists. There's many, many documented cases, all right? Imagine sitting there on election night And you're still waiting for California, which is going to count votes for, I don't know, two weeks, three weeks, a month, to determine who wins a close national popular vote. And every day it changes. It's President Don Trump Jr.

54:38No, it's President Kamala Harris. President Don Trump Jr. President-elect Kamala Harris. President-elect Don Trump Jr. Can you imagine this for a month? Ladies and gentlemen, there would be riots in the streets. every single day. And that's what the Democrats want. That's why we have an electoral college system that insulates us from this. You get enough states that sign on to this that can deliver 260 electoral college votes based on the popular vote, not their own state. And ladies and gentlemen, you're in a world of trouble. Folks, I am a happy warrior. but I'm also concerned and you should be too there should be a healthy degree healthy degree of concern not panic we're not panicking here over the state of the country and in the state of our movement we've got to stay aligned with compass true north the mark of a grift ladies and gentlemen is its immunity to facts and logic any presentation of facts to a grifter is just additional evidence that you're in on the conspiracy they invented they want to rid themselves of obstacles that's why didn't you notice it was this unified effort to attack this show the minute we came back despite what was an incredible year they could not get over that they saw it as an attack on them like oh my gosh gonna take back an audience i thought i had truth tellers become your biggest problem when you're a fraud like these people so they got to rid themselves that's what worries me if that were to ever become the majority in our party too i want you to just watch this quick segment it's important for those of you out there who do not do preparedness because you don't want to be you know branded like a crazy person by your dopey blue-haired liberal neighbor doesn't even know what the tax rates are right oh you guys are preppers yeah i i'm a prepper i prepare i mean i don't have a compound however i maybe one day i will i mean i prepare i have uh i have survival food i have a supply of water why because it's smart i'm a dad i have two daughters ways to communicate i have firearms you should prepare too i say that not to be a doomer but the way to avoid being a doomer is to be prepared i saw the segment on dr drew show this is a guy named drew miller on preparedness about a minute you should check out the whole thing it's about five six minutes long but he talks about how you know with the threat of maybe artificial intelligence going awry, the threat of a nation state getting a dirty bomb, the threat of an attack on our industrial control systems and computer network, like we should be prepared.

57:14You should too. Check this out. Well, I've been a prepper for a long time because I was an intelligence officer, some aware of the threats. And when the Soviet Union fell and people said, oh, that's it, we've made it through and now things are going to be peace forever. I knew that was absolutely nonsense. There are kind of two things related to that. We list six major trends that are driving this higher probability of a collapse. The new technologies is the biggest one. But one of the things we list is very high, less personal resilience. We're more dependent. People, you know, he mentioned victimizing.

57:45People have been trained and coached, and I think deliberately encouraged by some government officials and elected officials. I'm not partisan, but I would blame the Democratic Party more on this. They really like people to think that you need government to protect you, that you're a victim, everyone's taking advantage of you. You need more government regulation, more government control in order to be protected. And, you know, we contrast the way we used to be with, you know, independent Americans, freedom, liberty, pioneer spirit, with what we have today with, you know, almost everyone has some kind of welfare, our entitlement benefits.

58:20We're dependent on government. So that's part of it. And in terms of the bad people, the issue that, Dr. Drew, you raised, we absolutely have more bad people in the United States. There's at least a million known gang members in the United States. There are two million Americans in jail. So that's three million people that right out of the gate in a collapsed disaster are going to be marauders. The gang members will start marauding immediately. And the two million Americans in jail won't be there. You cannot keep jails operating when the grid goes down, when you lose power. You can't operate a jail.

58:54If there's a pandemic, guards aren't going to come to work and risk, you know, catching the virus. And in any collapse, with law and order breaking down, guards are not going to come to work because it's too risky. Folks, we've already been through this with COVID. You've already seen what the world looks like when everybody loses compass true north and logic and reason go out the window justin's like don't do it don't do it put the mask on put the face condom on but everyone who put a face mask on got sick from covid every single person i told you it's like the condom you use and every woman you have sex with gets pregnant you'd be like maybe i should stop using that it doesn't matter people went crazy.

59:37People went absolutely crazy because you had charlatans and phonies and frauds out there who couldn't rely on facts and evidence. Man, we were banned from YouTube and Google for telling you masks don't work. We were under full blown attack. You don't think this kind of stuff could happen again? Laura 1717C in the chat asked, by the way, what's a dirty bomb? A dirty bomb is very simple. It's very simple to describe. You use basically a traditional explosive and you put radioactive material, whatever it may be, medical waste or radioactive material, and you just explode. So it's not like a missile with a traditional fission bomb.

1:00:18It's just a device that would explode and disseminate this radioactive material. Why is that a big deal? Because obtaining radioactive material, granted, is not super easy, but it's not as hard as building an ICBM, an intercontinental ballistic missile. If you were to do this, God forbid, in a major city and decon guys and bubble suits were out there, the effect on the American psyche would be devastating. Just like the drone problem. That's why when I was over at the Bureau, I was so focused on the drone thing. The second there's a drone attack here, every single time you hear a buzz, people are going to go like this and they're going to freak out.

1:00:57That's why we have to be prepared. Don't panic. Don't be in a panic. The United States has gotten over this stuff in the past. We've dealt with threats. There are people out there focused on it. However, there are also people focused on killing us. Look at this footage out of Iran. We saw that this was just crazy. I saw this the other day on social media. Like, this is nuts. These are the people like Podcastistan is in with the lethal plotting, the targets of Laura Loomer, Peter Thiel, President Trump. Holy Moses, folks. This stuff is just we've reached crazy town. Now, listen, I'll bring up what I brought up the other day.

1:01:33I don't like to talk about this a lot, but we are getting a voluminous amount of crazy people who are doing some really increasingly unhinged things based on online Teddy Ruxpin fairy tales. So if they want to, you know, go to war with us, then we're going to do it. And we're ready. so I'm just telling you now I'm not going to let you do this if something happens, God forbid to me or my family and there's another manifesto with your name on it out there I'm never going to let that go like ever in my life I'm just telling you you want to continue to F around alright we're good, we've been through this before we've been here a long time you want to play around, let's play you got it I hope you understand Yeah, I'm talking to you Remember that one?

1:02:33Another one of our Many dubs We were racking up dubs, but it took a while That was kind of a war of attrition Remember that? For you P1s out there? That went on a long time We won, again By the way, you got our comment of the day? Who was the comment of the day today? Dan using an X-Files reference Like his crew uses Star Wars reference That's why I love this podcast I love the X-Files. I thought the movie was underrated too, Cigar Smoking Guy. And then when I got in there, I found out we have our own unit that looks into this stuff. I told you we didn't really find anything that would be indicative of a cigar smoking guy and human beings being harvested.

1:03:17But we have our own unit too, which is pretty crazy. I brought them in for a brief. I'm like, tell me what you guys do. Pretty fascinating. I used to love that show. You ever wonder why they never, did they ever like follow up with more movies? Was there a sequel? I don't even remember. But they should have followed up with more movies. That movie was pretty good. I think, was there a sequel to that or whatever? Maybe they just don't want to do it. Thank you for the comment of the day. You know the rules for the 1776 contest?
