The Monologues - Week of 08/24/26

33:10If you see the results of the policy and have to feel it yourself, will it change your mind? I brought up the analogy of the pro-life movement that sometimes it's tough to look at and it's hard, but to change people's minds about what abortion is, they will show a picture of what an abortion looks like. ladies and gentlemen pro-abortion people go freaking crazy when those signs are up they attack people they shoot takedowns on them they got them wrestled to the ground they tear up the signs they claw at their faces pee in their diapers they call the cops on people if they don't have the first amendment right to speak out for life why do they do that why do they do that the pro-aborts why do they do that because when people see it they likely will change their mind oh my gosh that's what an abortion looks like you're seeing this now everywhere everywhere in the democrat socialist movement hey man we're for medicare for all and people who don't know what medicare for all is because they haven't seen it.

34:25I'm like, yeah, that sounds great, man. Government health care. Jim, it's a guarantee. I got health care from the government. Yeah, you got a lot of guarantees from the government. You had a guarantee to your Social Security be there. Now they're telling you things bankrupt by 2032. A lot of guarantees, the government. It was just interesting. The only guarantee they give you shall not be infringed. That's the only one they challenge. That's not what it really means. folks you have to ask yourself again but this medicare for all stuff that sounds great in theory when you actually see it like i've done for you on my show and my podcast when you see it what does it really do oh it cancels your employer-based health care or your market health care plan you have now that you may you may really like it cancels it i i didn't want to see that what do you think we are nerds what do you think we're gonna wait I didn't want to see that.

35:22I just thought it meant like fairies were going to start singing and unicorns were going to pop out and everybody was going to get the best access to the best health care. And there was going to be no rationing. And that's what I thought. I didn't think you're going to cancel my insurance. Well, now, you know. Remember this critical question. If you see it, will it change your mind? And is that why the modern Democrat Party is running from every single policy position out there? I'm going to tie this. Jim really liked this when we were going through it earlier in the show. He did. He's laughing.

35:56But it was an unintentional connection that made its way into today's show. I watched a three part documentary about the Charlie Manson murders and the Manson family. You may say, what in the Hades does that have to do with if you see it, will it change your mind? Because, folks, one of the tools the Democrats use, just like members of a cult, to get people to do absolutely insane, evil things, even murder in cults and elsewhere, even suicide, killing themselves, the Kool-Aid, is they have to isolate them from the real world. They don't want you to see the real world. They're going to tell you the race war is coming like Manson did.

36:42The apocalypse is coming. The comet's going to wipe us all out. If you go into the real world and you connect to the internet and actually look it up, you're going to be like, that guy's full of... We can do the... Right, Jim? We just can't say the word. Yeah, right. Okay. I'm just checking. I'm just checking. I hate FCC rules. But your diaper's full of... It's just... so Charlie Manson kept a bunch of people on a ranch away from reality because if they saw reality it would change their mind this is the modern democrat party I warned you about this I warned you don't give the democrats pointers I'm not giving the democrats pointers are you crazy I'm a conservative activist myself I'm trying to save the country from Lenin Stalin and fascism You don't give these people a leg in and go, well, we just it'll just help us in this election.

37:38No, you you you you have to wipe this ideology out no matter where it surfaces.

37:47Folks, they hide from you everything. And now they're freaking out because the Democrats realize that this pernicious, disgusting, communist, Islamo fanatic ideology they let creep into their party. and they were like, oh, it's no big deal. We'll use these people for energy, quote, to get back to vote and we'll, you know, we'll attack those crazy boomers who actually experienced communism. Don't worry. The concrete won't dry. It'll dissipate. Well, now the concrete's hardened. And now the freak out's beginning. We haven't done that in a while. You gotta do that. Jim, you can see it on the iPad.

38:24You gotta do that. The Soviet salute. For those of you who listen to my older radio show in the 12 to 3 spot, you know exactly where we're going. Of course, that's the Soviet National Anthem. That's the new Democrat Party. They're now freaking out when even liberal media hosts like Wolf Blitzer at CNN, this guy's no MAGA guy, okay, are now starting to call them out because now they're starting to get worried because they tried to hide it. They didn't want you to see what the Democrat socialists really want, defund the police, empty the prisons, fentanyl use everywhere, open the borders, confiscatory taxation, no more school choice, government-run health care, canceling your employer health care plan you bargained for.

39:07They don't want you to see it. Now that it's out there, CNN and others are in full-blown redline 9 ,000 RPM panic mode. Jim, cue up for me, cut one. This is Democrat leader on the House side, Hakeem Jeffries, just a total failure of a human being. This guy doesn't know what he's doing. for as much as I can't stand Nancy Pelosi and her ideology and her trading and stock and all this other crap and all the destruction to the republic at least she had better control over her own caucus this guy I gotta tell you folks he's just an idiot he is just an idiot here he is on CNN he's confronted by Wolf Blitzer like hey man we ever gonna call these people out like by name we got a real prominent and watch Jeffries get all upset about uh given the he gives the same answer I just gave about the full of you don't know what he says.

39:55Sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. Check this out. The notion that people should be targeted because of their religious beliefs or ethnicity or race, whatever the case may be, that's fundamentally inconsistent with who we are in this country. Yes, the Hassan Piker's clout among Democrats, though, particularly some younger Democratic voters seems to be growing. We saw, for example, his prominence in the Michigan Senate Democratic primary. So why not call him out by name in your statement if you feel so passionately about this issue? I've just addressed Hassan Piker's comments as it relates to the Jewish community as forcefully as I can, and I will continue to do that.

40:44it's just these guys don't know what to do all they had to do is do what the republican movement did at the beginning of this primary cycle it's very simple you want to run under our brand correct ours all of us not me i don't own the republican party the conservative movement the magma i don't own it i'm a small piece of it if you want to run under our brand like the democrats do running in this cycle and you want to bring people in your tent into your brand into your store into your club into your bar well there's going to be pictures of people taken in that bar who if they're really bad people they're gonna make why did you allow this serial murder or whatever in your bar they're not in their own bar they're not running as independents they're running under your brand Jeffrey Snow has one.

41:35Oh, yeah, that guy's bad. Well, what about the socialists who were bad? We cut the infection out early and said, you can say what you like. As long as you don't break the law and threaten people's lives. Say whatever you like. But that's not our brand. Our brand is pretty clear. Economic growth, school choice, the Second Amendment, pro-life, secure borders, crushing crime. That's our brand. Strong national defense. It's not hard. You don't have to like the brand. Run into your own brand. Jim, start the wigs. Start wigs number two. Wigs the sequel. Wigs part there. D-E-U-X. Just start Wigs part there.

42:09No one's stopping you. Start Wigs part there. You don't want to. You want our voters, our activists, our voter lists, all the stuff we built and spent money on and time and sweat equity. We cleaned our mess up. The Democrats can't do it. They're trying to hide it because they don't want you to see it. Because if you saw it, just like the Manson family, if they got off the ranch and lived off the ranch with their families, they probably would have been told that is crazy. They don't want to get off the ranch. They don't want to get off the ranch. Jeffries just wants to hide all this, Hakeem Jeffries, until after the election.

43:00again the critical question if you see it will it change your mind great job here by carolyn downey on cnn i want to play this cut before the break this is carolyn downey on cnn saying the exact same thing like why don't they want to talk about medicare for all what it actually is outside of the talking points why don't they want to talk about it the same reason the pro-abortion people don't want you to see the abortion sign because once you look at what's under the hood you're like i don't want that car that's a jalopy Good job by Caroline Downey on CNN. Check this out. They'd be better off just simply attacking him, if you're going to attack him, on the policies, on the economic incompatibility of what he's putting on the table with what people in Michigan want, rather than saying, oh, he's going to change our culture.

43:50What does that even mean? Well, two points. That network has more independent viewers than you think. And those clips are going to circulate on social media. And it was quite clarifying, I think, to it will be to a lot of people that he could not give simple answers to questions about the culture war. He conflated circumcision with sex changes for children. So now it's good to know that he's on the 20 percent of an 80-20 issue nationally. But if you want to talk economics, fine, let's talk economics, which that network has talked about extensively as well. His biggest economic goal is Medicare for all, also known as single payer health care, also known as nationalizing health care.

44:23He doesn't want to talk about Al-Sayed, about how that would require taxing the middle class. That seems to defeat the whole championing of the working class mantra, don't you think? He doesn't talk about how that would kick off many millions of Americans off their private or employer-sponsored health care. And the majority of Americans, polling says, like their health care. So why doesn't he want to address that? Why doesn't he want to address it? Thank you, Caroline Downey. Brilliant. because when you see it, Medicare for all, when you see it, Jeffries and others know, Al-Sayed and others, it will change your mind.

45:02Before we hit the break, rest in peace to an amazing American, Dolly Parton, just tragic news yesterday. Godspeed in the second creation, Miss Dolly. It was a life well lived. We'll be right back. Bongino.

45:22with dan bongino so i'm sitting here before the show and uh producer jim and i are going through you know regular checks you know mic checks everything work i see jim in the dallas studio through the the ipad hey can you see can you hear all you know pretty typical stuff for radio right and jim's like uh you mic check and yes that silence is deliberate seven seconds it'll kick on to a best of you can't stay safe But he's like, Dan, that means you need to talk. Sorry, man. I was a little bit distracted for a second. Poor guy. I love producer Jim, though. He's been with me so long now. I feel like we've been through a lot of battles together, man, you know?

46:04Yes, we have. Right? My gosh. So last night, folks, I'm doing, I do usually do a couple of Fox hits a week, hits appearances. Again, we call them hits. But I do a couple of hits a week, sometimes on Ingram, sometimes on Will Cain, sometimes Jesse Hannity, you know, you move around a bit. And depending on what the news of the week is and what host is hot on what. And last night I was on Jesse Waters' show. And I got to tell you, in the 15 years I've been doing hits on Fox, last night was one of my top five favorites of all time. Number one, I just love talking about the horrors of socialism because it's such an easy topic for me to discuss because I just, having grown up in New York and lived in Maryland, you know, Democrat socialist capitals of the known universe, you know, you see the suck up close.

47:00Like you can't hide the suck. Like the suckers.

47:06Like the sucking vortex of sucky socialism sucks you in like the most powerful black hole. There's not even an event horizon. and it's like the second the black hole exists, you don't even have to touch the event, right? It just sucks the whole universe in. That's how sucky the suck of socialism is. And when you grow up around it, in 1980s New York City, pre-Rudy Giuliani, where like it sucks so bad you just accepted the suck. You just thought the suck was normal. You thought everybody lived like this. I mean, the first trip I ever took on a plane was in the Secret Service Academy. No. Oh yeah, I was like 25 or 26 years old.

47:47We traveled up to Boston, the Crane and Company. That was the first time I was there. I never left New York. I drove to New Jersey to see my grandmother in Eatontown a couple of times, but that was it. Well, my parents drove it. You got squeegee men used to come up to your car and like spit on your window. You're like, what's a squeegee man? Ask a chat GPT or something. They would spit on your window and you'd have to give them money. People's cars got stolen so often that your car insurance for one year was almost the cost of the car because it was like, there was no way to use an actuary to figure out how dangerous it was in socialist Ed Koch, David Dinkins, New York, because your car was guaranteed to get stolen.

48:28Jim, was it not? It was it? I can vouch. Remember the club? They had this device called the club. You'd put on the steering wheel and then they figured out ways to defeat the club. So they had the cap over the club to anti-defeat, the anti-defeat defeat mechanism. It was so bad. It was, my car got stolen. I should know, my car, no, my backpack got stolen from my car. They ripped out the thing but didn't get the car. I was in college at the time. And then they found my backpack, this kid Nolan on the next street. New York and Maryland are like socialism epicenters of the universe. If you're listening to us on WMAM, in Maryland right?

49:12You know exactly what I'm talking about, right? We just accepted it. So that's why when I go on Fox and they're like, Hey, the topic today is going to be the DSA and socialism. I'm like, yes. So last night I just went off. I was probably the longest hit I've done in primetime ever. They're usually the four to six minutes max. That thing went on forever. I think I started talking at eight, 10 and I'm in the studio van outside my house and I look up, it's like eight 20. I'm like, man, this thing's going on, but I was loving every second of it. And one of the things I brought up is that we should never, ever in the Republican Party ever try to take the easy path out of politics.

49:51I forget. Jesse asked a good question. I've seen this online. The gist of the question was something like, you know, the Democrats are promising free health care, free college, you know, rent control, free back rubs, whatever the hell. there. Everything's freedom. And how do you compete with something like that? And I said to Jesse, the answer is, is you have to do the hard work. Like the easy path is to try to out Democrat and out socialist, the socialist and be like, well, we're going to offer even more free stuff. And I said to Jesse, it reminds me of the movie, something about Mary. No, not that scene.

50:29Like I said, you remember, everybody remembers the scene, right? Not that one. That's not hair gel. That's not hair gel. He should have known that. That's not hair gel. She should have known that. I'm talking about the other scene, about seven-minute abs. Seven-minute abs, for those of you who don't know, was that video, it was like an infomercial thing, like, look, you'll get washboard abs in seven minutes. Folks, that's not realistic. I'm sure some people in seven minutes will get seven-minute abs with great genetics. You have to, like, work and alter your diet and strength train and cardio.

51:01It's not going to happen in seven minutes. But it reminds me of socialism. They promised stuff they know isn't going to happen because it sounds good. Seven minute abs. Jim's like, I can get abs in seven minutes. Yeah, seven minute abs. There's this breed of Republicans who don't want us to tell the truth about socialism and warn people about the dangers. Who want us to play this game and out socialist to socialist. They want us to be the six minute abs, guys. Seven minute abs. For those of you who seem to see, you know exactly where I'm going with this. I'm going to sell something called six minute abs.

51:33Wow, I cut a minute off. That's crazy. So good. Folks, it doesn't work. Never run on six minute apps. Because the Democrats are going to come back with five minute apps. And you're just going to get crushed. It becomes an increasing set of ridiculous, absurd promises that will never be met. That will destroy all of your political credibility. credibility. Ronald Reagan, who was a great messenger, understood clearly that you have to tell people, people, folks, people are smart. Do not to Republicans running out there who questioned this. I promise you the people who show up and vote are overall very smart.

52:16They don't want to be talked to like kids. They know there's no such thing as free stuff. If you tell them the penalty for quote free stuff, like for instance, free healthcare, let's put meat on the about. Hey, okay. Like I'm, I'm a Republican. I'm going to run the right way. Not the easy way. Here's how you answer this quote. How do we combat Democrats offers a free healthcare? It's very simple. You say, okay, well one free healthcare isn't free. You're going to pay an exorbitant amount of taxes upwards of 40 trillion over 10 years, 4 trillion per year. We're already in debt,$40 trillion. However, even if you're not concerned with that, here's what you should be concerned about.

52:48How do you feel about the healthcare plan you're on now? I like it. It's not too bad i give it like a maybe one thumbs up out of two okay you want to cancel no no i don't want to cancel oh you don't want to cancel my mic's jim the first text for my seven minute abs scene lol you're damn right that's what this you have to tell them like seven minute abs doesn't work it you may get a workout you're not gonna you have to tell them like this stuff doesn't work your health care plan you have now is going to be canceled ronald reagan did this great most dangerous words in the english language i'm from the government i'm here to help He didn't candy ass his way around it.

53:25He told people the truth. Just like Trump tells them the truth all the time. That's why the message resonates. There are not two figures in modern times that have transformed the Republican Party more than Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. There just aren't. Regardless of your feelings about either one of those people, there is no disputing that fact. You make the case, you know, FDR and Obama did the same thing for the Democrats. I don't mean that in a good way. I don't think there were two modern presidents that were semi-modern FDR's case, but have done more to destroy the country than those two expanding government.

54:00But there's no question that they were transformative for all the wrong reasons. President Trump and Reagan for the transformative for the right reasons. They're just been honest to people. The warning out there is pretty simple. Do not try six minute abs. It is not our thing. That is not our brand. Our brand is telling people why this country is great, how it got here, and the penalties for believing in things like seven-minute abs and free stuff. I love free health care. Yeah, you're an autoworker, UAW in Michigan. You know, we're on all over the country now between the mornings and the afternoons.

54:39You understand that the health insurance plan you bargained for, you forfeited maybe a 10 % salary hike. Maybe you settled for three to four in exchange for a really solid, strong health care plan for you and your family. Maybe your kid's sick. God forbid. Maybe your kid has lymphoma. I had lymphoma. Lymphoma. Jim, two thumbs down on Yelp. It sucks. It's also really expensive. Chemo, radiation, all that crap you got to go through is really expensive. Maybe your kid got sick and you bargained for this plan. How do you feel now that all that stuff you bargained for, forfeiting salary hikes or bigger salary hikes, is now going to get chucked out the window to jam you into some government plan where you're going to have to call Joey Bagadonuts, the bureaucrat in HHS, is going to go, John Smith, you A.W.

55:24guy? Yeah, my kid's got lymphoma. I want to send them to MD Anderson. Great, great, great university. Hat tip. They took care of me. Did the most amazing job. Premier cancer hospital in the country. I want to send my kid to MD Anderson. It's a complicated cancer. No, no. No, no, you can't go there. Well, who says? well I say I'm Joey Bag of Donuts bureaucrat HHS no no no I get to say I'm an American no no you don't you chose healthcare for all and healthcare for all means decisions for none

55:56here's where you're going to go you're going to go to DM Flandersen DM Flandersen who the hell is that it's a guy who got he lost his medical license six years ago and he's no no but he's got availability I don't want to go to DM Flandersen I don't want to go there man hey you signed up for healthcare for all which means decisions for none you forfeited your healthcare right now listen I'm not telling you free market, free enterprise employer based insurance has all the answers either there are times you get that very same answer I'm not here to smoke you up you call up your insurance company I want to go to MD Anderson no no here's PB Sanderson here's the difference I'm not telling you that's ideal either the difference is you can cancel your insurance plan get another one or you can maybe take a reduction in benefits and at least they'll pay for something the government you got no choice man you see what it's like when you don't do six minute abs and you tell people the hard truth they're smart don't discredit voters if you're running as a kind of old school swampy Republican we got no message to run on we got no mess that you can take that roll it in a ball i jim's like be careful this is the this not the podcast roll it in a ball we have to be careful i said this on the air this is like hardcore p1 material and we actually described the insertion let's just say and it did not go well we were apparently advised jim correct that there are words you can say like ass and elsewhere but you cannot say them and combine with other words.

57:33Like shovel without an out. You can't say that. I did not know that at the time. We found out the hard way. So, but you can take it, roll it in a ball and shovel it, right? Jim, you can shovel, shovel, right? Shovel, you get to, everybody gets to play. Like snow, like snow. Like snow. Like, I was gonna, I can't. I was just about to go there too. Folks, we have substance to run on. I promise you the commies do not I'm going to prove it to you right now the Democrats as I've asked you over the last couple days in the radio show in the podcast and elsewhere by the way if you want to ever check out the podcast live rumble.com slash Bongino we're live every day 10 a.m join the chat we'd love to have you there we'd love to have you on radio too I asked the question if you see and the Democrats are honest about what they're telling you if you see their policies will it change your mind?

58:29If the Democrats, in other words, told you the truth about government healthcare for everyone, that they're going to cancel your plan, will it survive first contact with you? And the answer is typically no. The difference with the Republicans running on the Trump administration's results is we actually run on what we did. We're not hiding anything. We're out there. We're like bragging about it. Hey, here's what we did. I'll prove it to you. There is a post on X by Rod D. Martin. I think I follow, I'm pretty sure I follow him. This thing went crazy on x yesterday was everywhere it's a long post and maybe that's the purpose of this it's titled trump's top 25 achievements the list every conservative should no one use it's 25 things that happened not that we're hiding that we're running on we don't have to go look for a message the president gave you a message here i'll just read a couple i can't read go go during the break go and check it out yourself number one he made the border a real border again number three signed the lake and riley act i'm skipping ahead because there's 25 i don't have time he signed the lake and riley act required detention of criminal illegal aliens for history's biggest drop in violent crime lowest violent crime rate in 126 years secured 18 trillion and announced investment commitments shifted global energy dominance from the persian gulf to gulf of america forced nato to stop freeloading and increase defense spending by 250 that's 21 ladies and gentlemen i only read one two three four five six there's 19 more to go.

59:56Don't do six-minute abs. Do the real world. You want abs? You got to do the hard work. Here's the catch. The president already did the hard work for you. Run it. All you got to do is go and look. We'll be right back. Bongino.

1:00:15With Dan Bongino. You know, this is one of those rare moments in the show where even though I have my lineup done, my pre-production done, did the podcast earlier at 10 a.m. this morning, so I have a general idea of where I want to go with the show. I have so much to say. I'm not really sure what the tip of the spear is first. So let me, I'll just take a shot at it. First, and Jim, keep me on track here. First, I want to just do a quick salute to our military because something happened this morning. I saw something just, I just thought of something. And they don't hear it enough. They don't hear it.

1:00:52However much you think you can salute and honor our military, it's not enough. And something happened this morning that made me think of that. But second, there's going to be a theme throughout today's show. And I'm not trying to be slick or smart about it. I'm not. Not at all. But I've been watching, like many of you, because it's a fascinating take on not just the law, but our culture, our legal system in general. this Lindsay Clancy trial, murder trial about the mother and the children. Many of you know the case. And there's something I saw on a, you ever see the movie A Few Good Men? You know, the Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise movie.

1:01:33What's up? I'm drawing a, what's the famous? You Can't Handle the Dream. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Jim. I'm drawing, like I had a neuronal dendrites, nodes of rain via meltdown here. You can't handle the truth. But there's a better line in that movie. No, yes, there is. There's an amazing line in that movie that applies to criminal trials, that applies to the legal system, that applies to politics, and that applies to basically life in general. And there's a line in the movie where Tom Cruise plays the lawyer defending these guys where, again, the facts aren't in dispute, like the Clancy case. they're not disputing the fact that the woman killed her children no one's disputing the facts that's the same premise of the movie a few good men they're not disputing the fact that this this marine was attacked in his bed and died they're trying to dispute like the motive for legal reasons so he tom cruise says to demi moore the other lawyer and was a kevin pollack he says listen, you're making a big mistake.

1:02:40His father was a lawyer. He's in the movie. His, my father told me it's not about guilt or innocence. It's finding someone to blame. And I'm telling you, that line has resonated with me through decades because it, for as much as it pains me to say this, that very same rule applies to politics too. And the liberals have just mastered it. Socialists have just mastered this skill and Republicans are hesitant to do it because they think for some reason that there's something unethical about it. Ah, well, you know, blame game. You know, you did, you, you probably been, if you're a good conservative with good values instilled in you by your parents, you were probably told, you know, don't blame other people, take responsibility.

1:03:22And yes, in your individual life, that's correct. But collectively as a people in this great country, we've called the United States, we have problems we have to solve every day or attempt to solve an education crisis, the cost of living, the money supply, university education getting expensive healthcare costs like these are legitimate problems and difficulties and the instinct is good conservative Republicans is to not want to blame and just kind of what take the bull by the horns to steal a you know worn out cliche the Democrats understand the Tom Cruise psychology from that movie though that people aren't looking for guilt or innocence they're looking for someone to blame that's where socialism candidly excels whatever problem you have rich people did it the white man did it or systemic discrimination did it even if the system in systemic discrimination is run by socialists like Brandon Johnson in Chicago Mom Donnie in New York Gavin Newsom right Jim like systemic discriminations they're they're the system but they don't care because they know the human impulse it's it's just foible we all of us.

1:04:33We can be included. We can't get rid of it. When we, there's an issue, we need someone to blame for it. Socialists have mastered this. It's why this idea infection called communism and socialism has survived for basically over a hundred years now, because it just takes advantage of basic human psychology that you've got to find someone to buy. The facts are not in dispute. Healthcare is sometimes inaccessible to people. There are issues with insurance companies, government health care costs. These facts are not in dispute, correct? Democrat or Republican, we both agree. Inflation's been a persistent problem.

1:05:10Democrats, Republicans, the government debts, a lot of problems. Those are not in dispute, correct? Nobody's disputing those are facts. So what's the issue? The issue is, who do you blame? And Republicans don't want to do it. And I got to thinking this. We're going to see this throughout the show today. Throughout the show today. through this journey we're going to take over the next two hours, you're going to see this pop up over and over and over again, how the Democrats and the socialists constantly beat us at this game. And I thought about it in terms of this trial. Regardless of the outcome, the facts are not in dispute.

1:05:51All you're hearing people argue about is who to blame. The mom, no, she's not to blame. She had postpartum psychosis. Any other people who are on the other side? well she has to blame she had options she could have done all this you could have killed herself but not killed the kids but didn't do that it's not an argument over facts it's an argument over who to blame because they know they're talking to a jury full of people and people that is how us as human beings that's how we think i'm going to get to more of this throughout the show today and tell you how it inconveniently is seeped into our system through a number of psychological manipulation operations that have now been exposed.

1:06:34Ladies and gentlemen, everything I warned you about over the last six months that I've been back on the air and the last week or two been back on radio, everything I've told you about is now being revealed. I'm getting hundreds of communications through X and Facebook, TikTok, emails from people who have our old email account. I'm getting a ton of these From people who are saying to me Dan you weren't kidding when you warned us when you came out Be careful where you get your information This looks like an op If it looks like an op, walks like an op, and smells like an op It's an op, forget the duck Everything I told you is now being revealed I'm the same person I've been the whole time folks Despite the black pill op And also up to destroy anyone in the Trump administration For your own mercenary reasons None of it worked, you swung, you missed the show's just expanding everywhere.

1:07:26It's because people know I'm the same guy always was. Everything I told you is now coming true. Let me get to that in a second, but I don't want to forget this military salute. I'm in the office this morning putting together the show and I had a whole idea of where I wanted to go with this. And I thought to myself, you know, government screws up everything. It just does. Government has no incentive to do anything right because it's not their money and they're not even spending it on themselves. They're taking your money and spending it on other people. The Milton Friedman cost quality problem, right?

1:07:56The one thing government does do right, however, that you would think there would be a consensus with the Democrats is we, when, when the right people are in charge, I want to be the right government, i.e. the Trump administration, not the Biden administration who could, you know, screw up making ice is when you get a good public safety, national security focused president, president Trump does the military right, law enforcement, right. and then the board is right. The facts speak for themselves. And ladies and gentlemen, the greatness of our military. I was going to cover a story and I'll get to it at some point.

1:08:31Bloomberg, not Michael Bloomberg, but Bloomberg the outlet, eponymously named outfit. The media outlet doesn't like President Trump at all. They put out this article in ExPost basically acknowledging

1:08:45basically acknowledging that the straight is now effectively dominated by the United States. Now that can't be, right? That can't be. You were told by left-wing media that President Trump was brought to his knees by the death to America Iranians. They were like cheering it on, like barking seals. Yeah, man. Yeah, it was great. But now it's starting to look like everything you've been told was an op. Again, probably paid for by foreign overseas money to get you to believe that the United States sucks to vote against its interests, and the Iranians had somehow defeated us in the strait. But even Bloomberg's like, there's oil flowing in the strait.

1:09:21We own the strait now. And you know why we own the strait? Because when you get a president in charge who cares about our nation's safety, our borders, public safety, and our military, our military kicks ass and takes names. And it takes the names and throws them in the garbage.

1:09:37We dominate our military, our Navy, our Marines. our air force army our coast guard our space force we dominate and there's a group of people out there in foreign countries that want you to believe the united states military sucks so you lose confidence in this country and it gets rotted from the inside out like a freaking cancer on the body politic not happening so that story was already in the show about how the united States for months now has been taking back the straight and all this talk of Iranian mines in the straight, there were some, but the estimates were there were about 11. We were told there were upwards of 200 to maybe close to a thousand.

1:10:19You know what they were? They were garbage bags meant to look like mines. And then we got rid of the 11 mines. Wait, I thought we were getting our asses kicked by the Iranians. Left wing media told you that. you know what it must have the podcast today is called like it must have killed them to write this you know how much it must have killed bloomberg to have to put that into an article and tweet that yeah you know what president trump said about the straight was right

1:10:46as i'm putting that into the show this morning i look up on the tv in my office here and i have it on mute and i'm watching fox and friends and steve docey is doing a tour of the military academies. He was at West Point. And man, you see these young men and women just like tip top shape, incredibly articulate on camera. Some of these folks have never done an interview in media in their entire lives. They were on camera. Bang, bang, bang. Folks, I've had guests on shows I did when I was at Fox. Guys who were 50, 60 years old with a body of life experience, you put them on camera, they totally choke.

1:11:24I wish Guy was in here. Guy remembers one of them. I'm not even going to say who but when I had my show on Fox Unfiltered there was this one guy we'd ask him for like hey man what do you know about this subject and he sent over all these great things like talking points he got on camera the guy totally froze you put these military people in West Point on camera bang bang bang bang done done

1:11:47yes yes Gieges you heard that Gieges popped out of the you remember right the guy totally choked the guy choked I know you'll never forget. I remember that. You remember, Jim? Meanwhile, you put these 19-year-old military studs out there on camera. They're like, yes, this is what's going down. We don't salute our military enough. We don't salute our military enough. You have this ongoing, unpredictable, kinetic action in Iran. It's unpredictable by nature. War is always unpredictable. You're not the Stygian witches. No one can predict what the enemy is going to do. Give me the eye. That's not the way it works.

1:12:32You get a plan. You adjust the plan. They had an attack plan. The Iranians tried to pull a fast one in the straight. And our amazing military, comprised of some of those people you saw this morning on TV, on Fox and Friends at West Point, they're like, oh, yeah, you want to play ball? We'll play ball, mother. Can we say that, Jim, on the air? I'm pretty sure we can. We cannot. We cannot, right. I'm pretty sure that's definitely one of the restricted words. Mothers. We can do this. The military's like, you got a plan? Iranian death to America? Mullahs? We got a plan too. It's our straight now. How's that sound?

1:13:12You know, President Trump said last week, I think I'll call it an American territory. The straight media was like, ha! Remember that, Jim? That is so crazy. Really? Who's laughing now? Who's laughing now? that's due to our military these men and women for what they get paid nothing peanuts you go to west point you have to be super smart i know you know that these guys could go and become software engineers ai developers for a million dollars in stock options a year no they serve you they go and they kick ass and take names and i watched that this morning and i thought to myself You should get up every morning and thank God that people are willing to serve so that we can go out and drink pumpkin spice lattes in autumn or whatever you drink.

1:13:59You can't thank these men and women enough. I'm going to tell you, on this show, you are always on the, if there's a pedestal, you're on it. You and the law enforcement folks. I'll never forget being an instructor in our Secret Service Academy. of me. I always picked a military guy to be the class president for the class I was teaching. Always. Because they just get it. I'm going to tell you something. I'll close with this. Nobody can compare with the military in making a good man great like the military. Nobody can make a bad man good. They just become bad. They're just, they say, nobody, nobody, not academia, not sports, nothing.

1:14:41Nobody excels in making a good man great like our military. No one. We'll be right back.
