In short

Dan Bongino argues that a “unholy alliance” of communists/socialists and “Islamo-fascist” extremists is conducting an “op” (psychological operation) to destroy private property, constitutional rights, and religious freedom. He claims media interviews and political debates are designed to distract voters and never answer questions.

Guest backgrounds

No guests appear in the transcript. Bongino references people/figures he wants to bring on (e.g., a Manhattan Institute figure) and discusses interview clips featuring a “New York DSA” source, Max Blumenthal, an Iranian propaganda figure, and a Venezuelan conservative in a Fox debate.

Key claims

Socialists allegedly deny homeowners profit rights and push government-owned housing (“housing projects”). Bongino claims the same actors also promote anti-Jewish/anti-religious violence and selective “arrest/overthrow” narratives (e.g., “arrest Netanyahu” but not Maduro). He says ops use distraction tactics (e.g., dodging questions like canceling Thanksgiving) and openly “confess” by advertising the operation.

Notable examples

Fox debate on Martha MacCallum; Michigan Democratic primary win by Abdul El-Sayed; “cancel Thanksgiving” non-answer; Blumenthal interviewing an Iranian agitprop; Bongino contrasts “housing projects” (Queensbridge/Red Hook) with private housing; he also cites public-school failure headlines and FBI success metrics.

0:03All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. All right, coming out hot today. First, thank you to Gene Farias in the chat right before the show talking about our 100 air squats a day drill. She's like, hey, man, I'm getting in like 10 air squats an hour. I'm telling you, listen, as long as you can do, you know, bad knees, bad heart, you're not going to have a heart attack, whatever. Check with your doctor, do all that stuff, okay? I'm certainly not your doctor. However, wouldn't you agree? It changed your life, I'm telling you. If you can squeeze in 100 air squats a day, it'll change your life.

0:39Thank me later. I have never, ever felt better. I mean, I do it in addition to working out, but even if you don't. So thank you, Gene Farias. I get in here early, like 15 minutes earlier, so I like to read the chat. Then I come in at 9 o 'clock, too, to read the chat as well, so that's why you see me bouncing in and out. A couple things. Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, probably the most instructional television debate on Fox I've seen in a long time. I actually called, this is a true story. I wanted to take my youngest daughter to the movies yesterday. So I was in a mad rush. I had a tough couple phone calls I had to make.

1:18I didn't get home till about two or three. The movie's at four. I'm in a mad rush. I like jump right in the shower. and I have this little TV in it. It's a small one, but you can hear everything. And I see this debate on Fox between this clown socialist on Martha McCallum's show and this Venezuelan refugee who's a conservative. It is one of the best television debates I have ever seen to put an accent and kick you in the nads if you're still naive about the unholy alliance. What's the unholy alliance? Hat tip, David Horowitz. His book is titled that. It is this wonder twins Like remember the wonder twins Activate They would like These two wonder twins Would touch the rings together And activate The unholy alliance Are the communist libs And the Islamofanatic terrorists They're in it together This clip You will see This lady This socialist clown Basically give you The unholy alliance In one debate It went on 15 minutes I was riveted.

2:26I was like this. You know, like the psycho movie peeking outside the show. I was like, I couldn't stop listening to this debate. I've got that. I've got the, I would recognize an op too. Folks, the op is happening right now. Did you see the tweet from Tucker about tonight's show? Oh my gosh, the great betrayal by Trump. We're moving on. No, no, you're moving on. No one's moving on. Do you see the op? It's right in front of your eyes. I'm going to show you the footprints so you don't get deceived by these ops again we got a lot to go over don't miss today's show 250 years of freedom, liberty and kicking ass Paula put together this shirt for you if you want it steward.bongino.com she loves the shirts I know the audience loves them too folks healthcare shouldn't be this complicated All Family Pharmacy that's who I use they make it really easy to find medications you need visit allfamilypharmacy.com use code BONGINO10 to save 10%.

3:25Prescription provided if appropriate. I use All Family Pharmacy. Love them. Today's show also brought to you by American Financing. If you're a homeowner, you probably thought to yourself, should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt? Then you second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate you currently have. Well, check this out. That low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25 % or more. It's just not. That's math no one wants to face, but it's costing you thousands of dollars. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, the debt is going to follow you for years.

3:56That's why our listeners are calling American Financing because they're saving customers an average of$800 a month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront free fees, 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 too. How about that? Call American Financing, 888-994-7660. That's 888-994-7660 Or visit AmericanFinancing.net AmericanFinancing.net Check them out Alright fellas, let's go Also, I failed to mention Forgive me in the beginning of the show We came out hot and I even missed this one The Michigan-United States Senate race Democrat primary It looks like Abdul El-Sayed who is an unholy alliance, Islamo-fascist and a communist at the same time.

4:55He's got the two tools in the toolkit. Won the primary by a sliver last night. There's the book, by the way. Thanks, Guy. Unholy Alliance by David Harvitz. You should pick it up. Radical Islam and the American left. They love each other. They're like married. They're like Fat Barney. Sharing his care. They love it because they all have one goal. Destroying the constitutional republic, freedom and liberty because both of them have the goal of tyranny. the communists have a goal of political tyranny the islamo-fascists believe in religious tyranny but notice the latter part of both of those two words tyranny they both believe in tyranny they've got to get your ass out of the way because you believe in freedom and liberty and anti-tyranny you have to go and now you see folex maga supporting both sides supporting the commies Trump the great betrayal and you see them supporting the Islamo fanatics too oh yeah the terrorists they really aren't I mean come on like it's really Hamas a political organization really really that's interesting it's good to know that I bet you should tell them as they're chopping off heads you think that's an appropriate way to do politics decapitation and head cutting no no he says not a fan he doesn't like that wouldn't you think a better way would you get votes like do an election like bumper stickers vote for hamas rather than like sawing heads off it's it's it's right he is actually correct the sawing of heads off is it actually a tyrannical terroristic but efficient way to get power because no one wants their head cut off but it's probably not the best way to get votes try bumper stickers palm cards uh vote for hamas oh we'll saw your head off you're right is it really effective way to get power i don't know how democratic it is it's so funny i'm just i can't believe these idiots how they're falling for this really okay this is the best tv debate i've seen in a long time let me get this this first clip it's about two minutes or so which is a little long for our show we try to keep it within a minute a minute i don't know why i keep telling you that but i always got to give you the behind the scenes even when it's unnecessary i'm going to split screen this so you can see my reaction to this because I'm just stunned by this.

7:11Notice first, I'm going to play two clips from the Martha McCallum debate. It is a socialist versus a Venezuelan refugee who's a conservative, who just dominates the debate. He does an amazing job. The woman is the socialist, okay? Martha McCallum's hosting. The two points of the unholy alliance. In order to enter the unholy alliance, okay, you just have to believe in two things. You have to believe in economic and political tyranny, i.e. communism, where the government controls all of the economy and you don't get to pick the winner like Stalin and Putin. They also believe in anyone that believes in killing the Jews because they're Islamo fanatics too.

7:50Here's clip one where she advocates the communist principle that you're not entitled to be a property owner. Notice how she uses though the lingo. She's got to say landlords because she knows that term doesn't pull a landlord. Nobody went landlord. I'm going to sue her landlord. What she's really describing is anyone who owns a home, i.e., a homeowner. That's you. And how you're not entitled to a return on your property. Hmm. I wonder how this is going to play. Check this first part out. Who I interviewed, he is with the New York DSA. And here's what he said about the right to a profit. Landlords in New York have been making a 12 % return on their investment for on average.

8:35How much should they make? What's fair for the landlord to make if you don't like 12? They're complaining that 12 is not enough. And we don't think that anyone should have a constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment. That's why we've implemented... No one should have a right to a double-digit return on their investment. You only have a right to property because you lose money. No one has a right. What are you talking about? That's not in the Constitution. All right, Francis, let's start with you. Your reaction to that. Do people have a right to make a profit? And is there a lid on how much...

9:03you're allowed to make as a profit under your dream of a socialist America? You know, I think you're kind of looking at it the opposite way that I would look at it. I think that people have a right to have or should have a right to have a safe place to live, to not be living, you know, living on the streets and squalor. I think when we are seeing that that right is being eroded, then that's when we have a problem. And I think that's the challenge that democratic socialist politics is trying to address is that these rights to a healthy life and to a safe life and to a thriving life are being attacked.

9:39So listen, first, two points here. First point, I'm hearing from a very good source who understands the swamp better than anyone that the Democrats up on the Hill and the establishment Democrat Party, take this check to the bank cash it, spend this freaking money the democrat establishment is freaking me out about these socialists going on Fox and other television networks and saying stupid shit they are freaking out they just want them to shut up and they're afraid to do anything on email or text like say to the DSA people stay off TV because they know the DSA people are crazy and they'll just put the text out there that's number one number two i want you to notice how they're very she's actually a very skilled debater this woman's not stupid she's conducting an op on you it's a psychological operation to get you to believe things that are against your own interest most of you many of you out there own some form of private property if not all of you a computer a home a car the democrat socialists don't believe in any private property.

10:51They believe the government should own everything. So they use fancy words and they reverse. What they do is they do a 180 reversal to distract you. So instead of property owners, she says landlords, knowing you'll think it only means some billion dollar company that owns a dilapidated apartment building. It means you, you. She's talking about you. Second, notice they never answer the question. This will come up in part two of this when I discuss the op, recognizing the op. One of the first tools of an op is to always distract you and never answer the question. Notice when she's asked about, hey man, listen, well, what return do they have a right to a homeowner?

11:35So if a homeowner's house appreciates 10%, 5 % a year, the homeowner has no rights to that. Even if they want to rent the home, Airbnb, they have no rights to that. Who does have the right to it? she goes oh let's let's talk about everyone else who has a right to safe and clean housing notice the language you're like when you hear that guys am i right when you hear that you're like if you're not you don't know what she's talking about you're like andy's like yeah it sounds pretty good like folks you have to tell people the hard truth when you create a air quote small r right like well i have the right to a big beautiful home Sounds great But you confer An obligation On someone else that's not earned I don't need to Forget any kind of fancy language here This is very simple to explain If you have a right to whatever home you want Who gets to determine what a nice home is Well of course the people are going to want I want a 30 ,000 square foot home So does that mean someone has A middle class guy Working in a construction company Has to build it for you for free if you have a right if you have a right to a doctor's time does that mean you get to call him and demand he shows up to your house you don't have to pay him you understand why the constitution is not a document about positive rights or things that should be given to you you're not willing to pay for it's a document of rights you have negative rights is what the government can't do to you you have the right to assemble they can't stop you the right to bear arms they can't stop you you have the right to petition the government to speak to practice your own religion there's no right to health care and that idiot in the beginning of the martha mccallum segment there's no right to private no there's a takings clause did you read have you actually read these freaking dipshits you have the second part of that part one all right go ahead i want you to listen to the rest of this into a thriving life or being attacked daniel what's your response Frances, do you think that people in public housing are enjoying their rights to government housing very well, or do you think people in private housing live better?

13:49Oh, there's no doubt in my mind that we need to improve the quality of public housing. I don't think that's controversial on the left or the right. I think there's broad bipartisan support for the idea that we need to improve the quality of public housing. So you think we should live in public housing rather than private housing, that the government should own the places we live, right? Because you don't want private ownership, is my understanding, or double-digit returns. What I want is for every single person to be insured a fair access to housing. So the right to live in a safe and clean place.

14:23I don't think our current public housing does that. I don't think it achieves that. Well, let me ask you this, Frances. But you're not in favor of allowing people to elevate themselves through capitalism, through, you know, buying a business on the corner and seeing it thrive. It is amazing. He just, this guy just totally complete. Can we get this guy on the show? Can you try, if anyone knows this gentleman from the Manhattan Institute, I'd love to get this guy on the show. He just says to her, the government already has a housing project. Do you guys know what they're called? They're called freaking housing projects.

15:03projects they're actually called housing projects you ever heard of the pjs i grew up in queens they suck folks do me a favor on your phones homework assignment dan bongino show we hate homework everyone hates homework it's worth it look up queensbridge projects just ask your favorite ai is there a crime problem in the queensbridge projects that's the projects i lived near in queens not in i lived in glendale i mean it wasn't the neighbors i can it re in the astoria area over the 114 precinct i remember as a cop because i worked there as a as a police cadet just look that up those are just you want to look up other ones look up red hook brooklyn the projects over there the government already gives people housing and it sucks nobody wants to live there so she wants to confiscate everybody's housing so nobody can escape the shitty housing the government minority does that the richest country on earth can't even run a freaking housing project they're literally called the projects the pjs there was a cartoon called the pjs about how shitty the projects are look it up man to these kids out there who are falling for this bullshit I'm serious man I'm not trying to be a dick about it You gotta do your homework I'm trying to help you I'm not mad at you I get this stuff sounds right I have a right to a big house I get that sounds great I get it I understand I did not grow up with a silver spoon I don't need any background bona fides My dad's a plumber He's a great guy He was a building inspector My mom worked in finest supermarket At 64th Place and Myrtle Avenue I don't know what it is now I grew up a middle or lower middle class kid It was a great life I love my parents They were great Busted their ass My father got up 4 a.m.

17:02every day You don't need your lectures about this shit I came into money and success later in my life And believe me I thank God for it every day It makes you crazy sometimes The point is These socialist lunatics Like this crazy woman They don't want you To have that pathway to success too They want to make sure that there's a ceiling on your success. The only thing you can have is government-owned property. The only housing you can have is the PJs. And then they say to them, well, you have a right to. And then they simultaneously, they have the right to take your returns. So God forbid you buy a house in your 30s and the house appreciates 15%.

17:43So this asshole in the beginning is saying you only are entitled to 12. Where they got that number? I don't know, 12%. So the other 3 % goes to other people who didn't buy your house and work for it? This makes sense to you? Folks, if you want to know what the socialists believe, just freaking ask them. This is why I told you before. The Democrat establishment is freaking out over these interviews. They desperately want these. Fox, please, welcome them on. Martha, greatest debate ever. Welcome these people back every day. I'm a contributor there. I don't manage the place. I love working there.

18:23I'm just begging you guys, have them on every show for 15 minutes. Because they just tell you things. Landlords, they mean you, property owners. You think this is only targeting landlords? Oh my gosh, man, you're getting suckered. Now, I told you, there's only two requirements to be in this unholy alliance of people trying to destroy our beautiful, fantastic, lovely, incredibly free, prosperous constitutional republic. There's only two requirements. Number one, you got to be a communist. You already saw that. No private property, government PJs for everyone. The second thing is you definitely have to hate the Jews.

19:11By the way, it's not just the Jews. In case you think, oh, I'm safe. Damn, why do you bring something? because I've told you it's not about the Jews. Yeah, it is. You just said, no, it's not. The Jews are a subset of it. The same Islamo-fanatic tyrannical nuts need to rid society of people in their way. They also hate evangelicals and Protestants too. Oh, well, I'm not one of those. You'll be next. Catholics, you're next. You don't think you're, what, you think you're safe because maybe I attend a Latin mass. I'm saying you're not safe. the second you get in their way they'll dispose of you too do we still have more from the first one no okay here's the second part so she tells you about herself in the first but no private properties here's the second part of the unholy alliance uh you know uh by the tree of deceit here notice she gets completely destroyed she's we should never overthrow the united states as an evil force in the world they overthrow uh people who We're democratically elected.

20:15We should never do that. But the democratically elected Israeli government, they should be arrested. That's lawyer. You see this? They just advertise it. Just listen to them. Remember the line. First they get the Saturday people, the Jews. Then they get the Sunday people. You. They openly talk about this. Here, check this out. On the question of Venezuela, You know, if socialism is innately so dangerous and so bad, why does the U.S. expend so much energy sanctioning these countries and overthrowing governments and attempting to, you know, overturn the democratic will of the people? Why is that, Daniel?

20:56Well, Frances, I would think that you would support it because you say we should arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. So I imagine you support the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, who is in a Brooklyn jail after being lawfully indicted. Is that right? I do not support the overthrow of democratically elected leaders anywhere in the country. So Netanyahu, who is a democratically elected leader, is bad. But Maduro, who destroyed a nation with eight million refugees, he's a good guy because he's a socialist, right? They just just listen to them talk. Folks, it's not my business how you feel about Netanyahu. He's a political leader subject to scrutiny like anyone else.

21:39I'm just telling you the Islamo radical nutbags don't give a shit about Netanyahu. Yes, they do. They don't. They just hate the Jews and you. And they want to kill you so they can engage in an Islamo fanatic tyranny where you're their subjects. Anyone who gets in their way, including fellow Muslims, will be thrown on the scrap heap. They don't care They don't care No that's not Okay I'll prove it to you right now You guys know about the Uyghurs in China You guys know what that is The Uyghurs in China The Uyghurs in China Are Muslim The Chinese Communist Party Is engaged in a mass like incarceration And extermination attempt against Muslims in China You ever hear about it From the left Ever Why not You hear about it from me?

22:39Because, folks, that would get in the way of the narrative. That would get in the way. What, you mean the socialists and the Islamofanatics will eventually turn on each other, including the communists turning on Muslims? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But as long as they get you out of the way first, they figure they'll deal with that later. So they got to stick with convenient narratives. Arrest Nanyahu. He was elected. It doesn't matter. We were just arrest, just him. Just single him out. Why him? Why specifically him? You ever want to see the unholy alliance and the op being conducted on you to give up your private property, your voting rights, and to engage in religious extermination, Holocaust, pogroms, all of them, just learn to recognize the footprints.

23:27They're all over the place. The best way to recognize, I have this in all caps. Just recognize the footprints. They will never answer a question. They will always engage in distraction. Matter of fact, sometimes they get so cocky, they actually advertise the op with foreign enemies to the United States who tell you in interviews, no way, yes, tell you in interviews how stupid you are if you're falling for this. Stay tuned. You think I'm kidding? I pull the best clips for you, man. I'm scouring the internet all day. This is my job right now. This is my job. I'm going to show you this clip next where an Unholy Alliance member in the media, this sellout fraud trader, Max Blumenthal, is interviewing an Iranian propaganda guy who basically says, you Americans are stupid.

27:02The Op is coming. The Op is coming. You've got to sound the alarm. Ring a bell. Sound the sirens. After last night's victory of Islamofascist Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, ladies and gentlemen, there's no more sirens to ring. The battle's here right now. The fight for the future of your kids' country and yours for this beautiful republic we have is ongoing right now. It's not tomorrow. It's not next week. It's now. Remember that Eckhart Tolle book, The Power of Now? You're in the now. If tomorrow hasn't happened yet, the past has gone. You got to fight today. Our country's at stake. This is not a fight with the old, you know, Harry Truman, Bill Clinton, you know, moderate movement.

27:45This is not that. This is a fight with tyrannical nutbags trying to institute communism and Islamofanaticism. And I'm not going to stop talking about it. Here's a communist, Max Blumenthal, pretends to be a reporter. Here's an interview with an Iranian agitprop, agitation propaganda guy, basically telling him how they use the American media to manipulate the American people. This was actually, I can't believe they didn't bury this. folks do not fall prey to this stuff you will partake in the destruction of the most powerful economically powerful country militarily powerful country in the history of earth watch this this is one of my dad who say read it and weep listen and weep check this out tapped into the american psyche and you have kind of shattered the maga psyche from iran this is what happens I think to speak a bit more politically this is the new platform order just as a political order exists among governing powers a political order also exists on platforms and we can't deny it but I think from now on we can talk about what to do to change this order I think Amu Kali Knowing the Americans, it's not a difficult thing.

29:12This is how we know the Americans. I think we reverse engineer the operations I want to carry out against us. Why? Because they carry out media operations against us based on their own assumptions. When we reverse engineer the media operations and, so to speak, try to see what concepts they use to attack us, We can understand that their laboratory subject, their case study, is the American audience. And we use that very same thing against them. Folks, if you want to know why the Islamo fanatics and the commies are doing what they're doing, just ask them. Every media appearance is a freaking confession.

29:58Everyone, they can't shut up. You may say to yourself, like, why do these DSA people, the socialists and people like Blumenthal and Iranian propaganda people who, you know, the death to America folks, why do they do these interviews? Folks, I'm going to give you a very simple answer. It is not complex. Ego. Ego. They can't shut up about their plan because they're proud of it. It reminds me of a video I'm going to play later in the show. Stay tuned for it. You see this, you might think they're unrelated. They're related, believe me. Maybe not an end game, but they're related in the psychology behind why these people advertise their stupidity.

30:39There's this Jonah Hill, the actor video, you know, he used to be a chunky guy and I don't know what he was in, but whatever. He was in Wolf of Wall Street, I think. There's a video of him talking about Brazilian jiu-jitsu as he's going to kick people's asses and stuff. this is a thing with a lot of people i find who do a very specific exercise routine they follow a specific diet people who get into brazilian jiu-jitsu i love it been doing it 20 years they've got to talk about it because they're proud of it now that's why i'm not too mad at the guy for doing it this is the dsa people they're proud of they want to advertise they think you're a sucker and going to go along this blumado guy is like letting this iranian guy Talk about how you Americans are so stupid, we reverse engineer your media against you.

31:24And they're like, yes, this is awesome. Let's air this with no air of regret at all. I said in the beginning of the show, the op is right in front of you. That's the title of the show for a reason. The op is right in front of you. The Folex MAGA people are doing the same thing. The Great Betrayal. MAGA's finished. The New York Times. MAGA media is done. They only, only 50 ,000 people show up to watch a show at 10 o 'clock in the morning on Rumble, which isn't even as big as you. It's done. It's finished. It's the same demoralization op. They're proud of it. They're not hiding it. It's just unbelievable that some sane people are going along with this bullshit.

32:16They think you're stupid. here's one of the other footprints of an op footprint number one is them just telling you about the op actually telling you here's the op you're stupid i i the market tell you dsa video iranian guy they told you the op don't overthrow democratic elective except if they're in israel landlords are the worst what do you want to do i want to cap there they tell you the op bro The other thing they use is distraction and manipulation. When they're asked very simple questions, like, hey, man, you sound kind of crazy. Do you support canceling Thanksgiving? This is an actual question.

33:01CNN's Caitlin Collins, who I'm not a huge fan of, obviously. But she asks this socialist communist candidate for governor in Wisconsin, of all places. Wisconsin, not a deep blue state. Tingable, but not deep blue. She asks Francesca Hong, hey, did you tweet a while ago something about canceling Thanksgiving? Obviously a freaking insane idea. I want you to listen to the answer, or should I say non-answer and the total distraction? It's a simple question. Do you want to cancel Thanksgiving or not? No, I don't. She can't do it, bro. She can't do it. Check this out. One thing that they brought up as well was a post from you in 2021 where you said Americans should cancel Thanksgiving, should have done this in 1621.

33:47The post has been deleted. Republicans have been highlighting it. Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled? I'm a chef. And one of the first meals that I made that was for the community when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal. I always think my hospitality background and owning a restaurant for seven, eight years, that bringing folks around the table to share conversation and build community is always a good thing. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. And so I think there I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve.

Read the full transcript

34:33And the position that I'm running for right now, and I think my background as a chef, will actually help me become a better governor that's able to bring more people to the table. They can't answer a simple freaking question. She said, yeah, good point, but she's a chef, folks. Who gives a shit if you're a chef? Who cared? Nobody cares. Nobody cares you're a chef. They care about the question. Like, are you freaking crazy enough to cancel the great American holiday of Thanksgiving? Motley's in the chat. This is worth mockery. Extreme mockery. Alinsky's rules, ridicule is a powerful weapon. There's no easy comeback for it.

35:16This woman deserves to be laughed at, mocked. Oh, that's not moral. You know what's not moral? Gulags. Holocausts and concentration camps. which, believe me, these people would put you in in a heartbeat. Mock these idiots. Don't give me the immoral lecture. You know what's immoral? Like I said, pogroms, holocausts, the killing and torture and imprisonment of millions of people due to their religion or skin color. that's immoral bro

36:00folks the distraction mechanism only works if you don't have a vehicle by the way to fight back because you cannot answer the question all you want but when shows like this come out and show you not answering the question the distraction didn't work because nobody's distracted because i'm bringing attention back to the question correct andy right logic sound he's like doing in the spot your logic is so uncapped it is that's why i drive the liberals crazy you've been here let's six months and does anybody drive the libs crazier than me no no nobody nobody drives the liberals crazy the liberal media is obsessed with me i told you stewart thompson stewie the guy loves me he can't stop writing but it's like he sits up at night with like, remember the Billy Madison people to kill list?

36:53You see that? The Steve Buscemi, if you missed it, it's a classic. Dan Bongino, these people are obsessed with me. They will write about anything, even in one of the biggest self-owns in Huffington Post history, which ironically they call a self-own. They will do anything just because my name generates a click because I drive liberals nuts because I won't stop highlighting them refusing to answer the question. And I won't stop highlighting them talking about communism in the country. I drive them nuts. And the other thing, too, is I defend people's religious freedom. Jews, Protestants, evangelicals.

37:34You can't have that either. So I'm definitely in two of their shit buckets that they hate. I'm in both of them. They hate my guts. So I go on Hannity the other day, and I'm going to play the whole clip. But I just eviscerated the whole public school system because it's a mess. We can't educate a kid in the wealthiest country on earth. We just can't do it. And yet the Democrats socialists want more government as if anything government does works. What is government? Where's the biggest government footprint in our economy? Healthcare and education. That's all the Democrats complain about. And nobody, Andy, nobody finds this weird.

38:13this is their big thing government is great what does government do the most? they intervene in healthcare and education the largest portion of economic interference by the government by far is healthcare and education and it's what they complain about the most it's like producing a product like the Pet Rock and your Joey Bag of Donuts Pet Rock Company and all you do is bitch about how people are stupid for buying your Pet Rock like nobody finds that weird this is your product, education and healthcare The government's tentacles are everywhere. And all you do is bitch on how bad it sucks. We need more money.

38:50Of course, I've been highlighting this for years. And the Huffington Post didn't like it. They didn't like it. What's this guy's name? Blake or... Glenn Blanchett. Does he go by Blanchet? Wait, put his... Let's go back to this. Why do they always look like this, by the way? Why? What's with the pose, too? Andy brought up a great point. Like, who took this shot and said that was a good idea?

39:27Why do they always look like... It's good. It's a good point, Andy. The backdrop is definitely... Hey, my pop's like the blue eyes or whatever. They wrote this article about their head. when I made the point that these guys, everything they do in government sucks. Epic fail. Dan Bongino's Fox News rant quickly turns into a devastating cell phone. I said cell phone, not cell phone, like S-E-L-F, own. And I thought it did. And I thought, why would Ben Blanchet strike in a pose like Madonna? Why would Ben Blanchet want to make us stop talking about the failure of his big government heroes to even educate kids in the country.

40:16So I thought, well, now let's talk about it again. Let's talk about it even more. Don't F with us, Benny. Oh, we have a far bigger audience than you'll ever have. I know you're obsessed with me. You'd probably show up at my office if we didn't have security. But we're going to make this one heard. so Andy was kind enough to put together a little montage of headlines about the failure of the public school systems I highlighted because apparently Ben Blanchet thinks we made that up

40:51Chicago public schools bought millions on travel expenses why students can't read a great level socialism Andy at its finest by the way how long did it take you to put this together less than five minutes wait way too quick I said can you just pick a few headlines he was done like that High school students exposes classmates' abysmal reading skills as they struggle with words like silhouette and extraordinary. What did they pronounce it? Sil-ho-o-eddy? That's like that key in Peel. Go see Principal Oshag Hennessy. 23 Baltimore schools with zero students proficient in math, yet Maryland ranks number two in New York.

41:28Oh, my gosh. This is Blen Banchet. He don't want you to talk about this. God forbid. 10 people, the most of these headlines he's ever going to get And when I give them out Baltimore score has improved But just 13 % of students are proficient in math 13 U.S. students performing worse in school than 10 years ago ABC News Don't talk about this on the air Now we're going to talk about it more Just to stick it to Blanche Staggering 900 New York City public schools Failing students amid grade inflation And lax accountability New York City public schools are the nation's least efficient. Incredible. So Ben Blanchet is angry.

42:12He's like, well, Dan went in the FBI. Oh, we did. We did. And unlike Ben Blanchet's socialist public school model, which sucks Major Moose.

42:29Here's our record, just numbers. It only took us a year, by the way. Went there for the year, and here's what we did. 20 % drop in nationwide murder rate, 45 ,000 violent crime rates, up 184%. 2 ,450 gang and criminal enterprises disrupted, up 322%. 2 ,600 kilos of fentanyl seized, up 56%. 6 ,940 child victims located, up 144%. 2 ,900 child predators and human traffickers arrested, up 70%. 111 counterintelligence arrests, that's up 53%. 849 individuals disrupted from conducting terror attacks, a 150 % increase in cyber-related indictments, and eight of the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitive captured.

43:18I'm just throwing it out. I'm just throwing it out there. so ben blanché doesn't want us talking about his socialist model of public education when they can't even educate a kid to freaking read and he's a little green with envy background you see how i did that i didn't even then he's a little green with envy including his back and the pose he's a little green with envy that it only took us a year to clean the mess up at the fbi only a year that was it it's taken them 50 years to not be able to educate a kid despite hundreds of billions of dollars spent but ben blanchet when blanchet striking the pose just like madonna is he going to do this too remember the vogue thing why do they always look like this those are those can't be that's real that's that's a he's faking that he's probably got like brown eyes or something i'll compare records any day blanchet don't toy with us son it never ends well that's the most attention you'll ever get including from your mama your mama probably disavowed you a long time ago Blanche don't mess with us

44:28you want to keep it going we'll go all week we'll go all year remember the cat lady when she decided it was a good idea to mess with us whatever happened to her nobody knows she like disappeared It's never a good idea. We always win every time. You do? I know. Haley's got it on the set. The crazy cat lady thing. It never ends well. Because we always win every time. Sorry. I know that pisses off the doomers, grifters, losers, folex, magnet. We always win. We always win. Because you can't argue what I just said. We actually produced results. You produce a bunch of kids who can't read despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars.

45:11Crazy. Folks, the distractions are over and over and over again. Decades of failure versus one year of success. And they just don't want, they want you to shut up. We're just going to keep talking louder. I'll show you what I mean too. Another complete tool bag who thought hitting us, oh, Epstein, mentioned the Epstein thing, as if I wasn't the one championing. You could just look this up, transparency in the case. They do this all day. It's just a distraction. They never gave a shit about this. when we were trying to get that case out there we had a thousand people assigned I never heard from any of these losers so that big Q-tip zero Chris Cuomo who by the way you know I thought about this yesterday did you guys talking about Epstein you realize his brother Cuomo's brother worked in the Bill Clinton administration and were there some ties remember that what does he know Has anyone questioned about it?

46:11It's amazing how the PR guy and all these people, they all opened their mouths. They did nothing to get anything out on the case at all. And it's nothing more than a distraction. They don't care. This is their new talking point. It's all they have. Don't talk about the border, crime, the economy, manufacturing exploding. Don't talk about any of that. It's nothing more than a distraction for them. Here's Cuomo getting just completely owned On his own show by Michael Knowles Who's got to have an IQ 50 points higher than this dipshit Cuomo's like, I think Elon Musk rigged an election Really? What, by donating money?

46:48You mean like Soros and all these other lefties Michael Bloomberg and others? It's not illegal to donate money You can do ban people from speaking in a political race Because they want to support a cause? Here's Cuomo getting wrecked by Knowles and bringing up. This is watch. Watch the distraction. When he loses the debate, well, Teslas suck. They do? Okay, check this out. But this guy just rigged the elections. He worked the immigration system. That's why he got through it. Because he fraudulently got his way through. Chris, how did he rigged the election? You don't hear what the Wisconsin election?

47:25So the Wisconsin election board, you don't believe them? Yeah, I haven't seen any federal cases against Elon Musk for election rigging. Oh, so if it's not a federal case, it didn't happen. Below Mike Bloomberg's, below Tom Steyer's, both Democrat donors. So Elon Musk has donated a lot to elections. That's great. But don't forget this idea that Elon Musk has made money on politics. Elon Musk got decimated in his businesses because he got involved with Doge in the campaign. The National Bureau of Economic Research says that Tesla sales were down by 83 percent because he got involved. That was tens of billions of dollars.

47:56We know that his ex contribution to preserve free speech, he lost 75 % on that. It's also a crappy car. He's lost a lot of money in politics. It's also a crappy car. I had one. Okay. I think that's part of what's hurting Tesla also. I can't help but notice a lot of people loved buying those cars until he got into politics.

48:19Folks, recognize the op when you see it. Epstein and by the way I'm telling anyone running for president in 2028 these same talking points that are total complete distractions they're meant to distract you from everything that is the op the distract he loses he gets smoked in the debate because Knowles is infinitely smarter than him Tesla's suck so again folks I don't own a Tesla I don't own it. I have to have an armored car because it's so many freaking crazies out there because the left tells people bullshit and lunatics are like trying to kill us. I wish I was joking. Whatever. It doesn't matter.

49:04So I went to chat GPT. I don't even want to go to Grok because you're like, oh, a Grok, that's Elon's thing. I just asked a simple question. Chris Cuomo gets owned in a debate and said, oh, Tesla suck. I own one. I said, give me the statistics on Tesla motor vehicle satisfaction amongst its customers? Pretty simple question, right? Quote, Tesla owners are among the most satisfied. Did I say most satisfied? I thought Chris Cuomo said they suck. Andy, I can read. It's all the most satisfied vehicle owners in the auto industry, even though Tesla has historically received mixed marks for build, quality, service, experience, and reliability.

49:38Weird. It seems like they're really satisfied. I didn't mean, chat GBT is like a competitor to Grok too. You'd think if they built in the algorithm, they'd be like, just tell people, just tell people Tesla sucks. Folks, learn to recognize the op. There's always a distraction. There's always some bullshit. There's always a lie. You know, it's funny how I talk to people and they bring up, they go, well, what about this thing that I heard in the media? I'll be like, well, did you just look it up? Like that Helen Lewis dipshit at the Atlantic? Well, they didn't think the Epstein case was a big deal.

50:10It literally says the opposite if you just put those exact words in the internet. You see how this is nothing more to everyone in the Trump administration. As the op goes forward and they try to run their own splinter 2028 candidate to break apart the Republican Party in conjunction with the Islamo fanatics and commies. I know that you all think you're safe. Some of you. Some are recognizing it now. I promise you are not. Remember, I've seen it. it doesn't matter what's out there. It matters is what they can make people think in the op. Folks, I'm going to skip ahead a little bit, that Kalshi thing, if you could.

50:49I'm growing a little bit concerned about the midterms, and I think you should be too. There's no time for panic right now, but the doomers and the grifters and the, you know, Trump, Epstein class people going on, they're doing this for, they never gave a shit about this case before. I did, they didn't. they didn't get all of this stuff is meant to demoralize you it is the op they want to make sure you're so pissed off you don't vote please trust me i've been with you 10 years okay i took a massive pay cut to go in that year and clean the place up they didn't do shit they sit on the sidelines and all they do is complain and bitch and moan yes there are problems to fix there are always problems to fix but all they talk about is the doom and gloom folks i'm a little worried uh calci politics had you know calci's the uh they they are a sponsor they're not paid for this ad but this is just i follow their account on twitter texas senate winner odds right now remember this is people betting their own money so i actually put more weight into um calci and you know polymarket and others then i do polls because it's people's own money ken paxton's up but i i'm not sure that's a comfortable enough lead for me at this point i'm just bringing up texas because folks i know people will say oh they always say they're gonna win texas and they never do the democrats folks the democrats said the same thing about pennsylvania oh the republicans always say they're going to win Pennsylvania.

52:23Don't even worry. And what happened? Trump won Pennsylvania. The time to get, I just can't have you in Texas or elsewhere. I can't have you thinking like, oh, don't worry. It's Texas. Like we're just going to win in a landslide. I can't have it. I can't have it. We're not going to win in a landslide if you don't show up again, that's a comfortable enough lead, but not comfortable enough for me. don't let them demoralize you get out and vote understanding this even to the establishment republicans who don't really like donald trump many of you can we at least agree you love reagan i love reagan reagan was right you are never going to get in politics in this diverse kind i don't mean dei diverse but diverse and then you got farmers you got pilots they all have different interests no one's going to agree on everything ever if we can get 60 to 80 percent we win and then we come back for the other 20 or 40 later.

53:18You cannot sit out this election. We will get smoked if you do. And if we lose Texas, ladies and gentlemen, it's going to be a bad night. Don't panic. There's no room for panic here, but we cannot let these people win. When I say these people, by the way, I'm talking about people like this. Was this libs of TikTok? Folks, you let these people win because you're demoralized. I don't like that. I'm not crazy about terrorists. I'll be honest with you. There's some things I don't, that's fine. The president doesn't demand loyalty on every single issue. Anyone tells you that's bullshit. Yeah, he's passionate about certain things.

53:56However, I think he's done an amazing job. And the results speak for themselves. From the border to law enforcement to the economy to manufacturing, he's done a great job. There is no reason to be demoralized and not show up. If you don't show up and we lose to these socialists, they are coming for your kids. How do we know? What did I tell you guys before? And you in the audience. Because they're telling you they're coming for your kids. Here is this high tops, basically LGBT, 2A, QIA, spirit, whatever the hell. Queer theory advocate talking about how they want to catch your kids early. That's the exact words.

54:35You want to sit out the election because you want these people to win? Good luck with that. Check this out. Critical time to be there is grades five through eight because you want to catch kids when they're starting puberty. Because that's the time in which identity formation is central to their lives. However, early intervention is key. So we actually are designing a kindergarten through grade two curriculum this summer. And I will tell you, one of the most rewarding experiences, Nikki, we were in a local school system in an elementary school and we were in grades three four and five and after we were there five students went to the principal's office and came out so we are really intentionally going into younger and younger grades folks they have to demoralize you because they know the issues they're running on that they put on a campaign sign or a bumper sticker are total losers.

55:31Who the hell in their right non-insane mind is going to vote for a bunch of LGBTQ2A spirit people quote, catching your kids to indoctrinate them, to vote for divorcing you from property you own and worked for? Who's going to vote for government-run healthcare when government can't even print a freaking driver's license the right way half the time? They couldn't figure out safe ID for 10 years. They can't educate a kid in any blue city in America. And you want to turn over your life to these nutbags because some idiot doomer put out a thing. You guys were betrayed. Betrayed on what?

56:13What are you talking about, man?

56:19All right. Quick break. But folks, whether you stay or not, you know, after 11, you know, do your thing. but I need you to just watch these videos coming up next. It may save your life. I don't do a lot of these. However, as a loyal and loving practitioner of grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo, I'm not a tough guy, please. I'm not, this isn't one of those say, look at me, I'll kick your, I won't kick your ass. I'm a broken down, rotting sack of meat. My freaking joints don't work. I'm not fighting you. you know don't challenge me on the internet you here you win there you go you got it we got that on record you guys got you win i'm not interested zero i'm not the tough guy okay

57:10but i do think you all need to learn how to defend yourselves and brazilian jiu-jitsu is you know i'm going to show you a couple videos i'll show you what i mean this really could save your life one day.

58:59They do something in the prompter, which we usually, you know, I don't read out of a prompter except for like the, you know, spots and other things like that. But thank you. You probably saw this rolling around on TikTok. Actor Jonah Hill was in really bad shape, was into Wolf of Wall Street. He was overweight. Good for him. He's in great shape now. He looks pretty good. And really good for him. He started practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu. But he was being mocked online for talking about, he's asked a question, by the way, he doesn't bring this up by Jason Bateman and other kind of hapless liberal, but they have a popular podcast regardless.

59:30He's asked a question about grappling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, ground fighting, as it's just affectionately known. And I guess he started practicing a while ago. I see this with a lot of Brazilian jiu-jitsu new guys. Listen, guilty as charged. You want to tell everyone about it when you win your first grappling match. But he was getting kind of ripped up about this. I'm not that mad about it, but check this out. I love Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I love, except my body is begging me to not love it. 42 isn't, my wife is often like, you're not going to become like a professional fighter. You know that, right?

1:00:01Like you're a comedian. But let me ask you something. If we got into it. I would fuck you up. You'd fuck me up, right? I would fuck all three of you up. But truly, right? And that's the best part. My favorite thing is people are like, oh, Jonah Hill, fucking fat guy from Superman. And I'm like, I would fucking annihilate you. I'm not kidding, dude. Every fight. Try it. If you see me, try it. Every fight ends up on the ground. Fucking bring it. Who's got it? Unless you are way bigger than me, fucking fuck around and find out.

1:00:40this is my it's a little cringy face i get it i'm not forget things probably a huge libs i forget the personalities he's asked the question i'm not really mad at the dude because i've been there and again i'm throwing myself under the bus because i never want this show to appear holier than now like look at me i don't ever make mistakes that's believe me that's not me i screw up shit every day okay i'm just as fallible as anyone else the microphone does not give you uh x-men like superpowers okay it doesn't when i first started brazilian jiu-jitsu back in 1999 actually judo and then i rolled into it a year last about 1999 2000 i did the same thing you just want to tell everyone because fighting for most guys some people just crazy like this guy vinnie i grew up with he had no fear of fighting he just wanted to fight everyone all the time everyone has that guy in their neighborhood of vinnie in their neighbor i've mentioned this guy at thousand he's a real guy i promise you he was at my birthday party my wife's birthday party 50 years i still talk to him i grew up in this guy fight anyway he really didn't care he'd fight 10 guys he just i don't know if he didn't feel pain or what or he just had some kind of no most guys have a fear of fighting so what happens in brazilian jiu-jitsu is it's like you learn to play baseball and one day you get a base hit off roger clemens like you got to tell the world about it That's what happens.

1:01:59I don't know how long he's been doing it. So I'm not too mad at him. I did it too. And then you realize you sound like kind of a tool. It's like mentioning your education. Like, hey, man, I tapped a guy. Nobody gives a shit. No one cares. But I want you to watch this clip. I had to have Fox News. So a little background. If you have a local Brazilian jiu-jitsu school, just put that term in a search engine anywhere. Put it in AI. Help me find a local Brazilian jiu-jitsu school. Go once a week. Go once a month. It's better than nothing. In a year or so, you'll be able to win 99 out of 100 interactions that end badly in violence in the street, I promise.

1:02:36That one out of 100 where you meet like Randy Couture, you'll spend the rest of your life training for that one. But most people have no idea how to fight on the ground at all. So this guy walks into a hospital, you'll see in this Fox clip here, and immediately attacks this guy who works at the hospital. I don't know if he's nurse, doctor, whatever. I have no idea. But you can watch the clip here immediately. Like he doesn't even know who this guy is. watch the guy use it oh it's stopping here for a second you stop it look the guy clearly knows jits right jiu-jitsu immediately he puts the guy down and you'll see like he goes to what they call there right there he goes to what's called side control that's not an accident you see him trying to tie up the arms and he goes and there by the way that's a nice kind of headlock judo throw right there he goes right to side control keep in mind this guy has no idea he's going to be attacked it's just instinct now he does knee on belly that's an actual technique great stop Now he goes for the rear naked choke.

1:03:30The rear naked choke is a carotid choke. It's not a windpipe choke. It will make you pass out if you hold it, but it won't kill you. The overwhelming majority, there are rare instances, but people get choked out all the time in jiu-jitsu schools. This is all training. This doctor, nurse, whatever, he has no idea he's about to be attacked. He hasn't thought any of this through. He just has grappled enough. This guy, I don't know if he's a blue belt, purple belt, black belt, but he knows what he's doing. This guy, by the way, is the bad guy here, is geeked up on adrenaline. Who knows if he's drunk or whatever, but he technically should on adrenaline.

1:04:06Here he keeps going, watch now what he tries to do next. He's got the choke in, and he's trying to secure position. So there he goes with what's called a hook. You see his left leg? He takes his left leg, and he tries to get what's called a hook in. It doesn't work out that great for him, but the guy eventually here starts to give up. Other people start to come out. that thing he's doing with his left leg is called a hook where you wrap your leg over the other opponents like to kind of control the hips from the bottom whoever this guy is he knows what he's doing folks this could save your life one day and i don't know what this guy is i can tell you most blue belts in brazilian jiu-jitsu who've been practicing for just about a year or less could probably do this too and he just does it by instinct he doesn't have to think about it and the other guy who thinks i don't know whatever i'm i got my adrenaline going i'm gonna kick this guy's ass finds out and how long you think this video is 30 seconds finds out in 30 seconds or less wow fighting's really hard when you go to these muay thai classes and brazilian jiu-jitsu and sambo classes you realize right away that you grew up watching like jason born movies and you're like hey if i get excited enough i can definitely kick someone's ass you know what i'm saying josh like i saw a chuck norris movie when i was a kid it's easy you just do the remember that ralph Machio, you do the, what was that thing called, whatever, the crane or, that's gonna work.

1:05:22None of that shit works, bro, none of it. You're gonna get smoked. Jiu-jitsu works because you actually have to do it on the mat. You can't just like, you go to a class and like you shadow box. No, you actually fight real people. And you learn right away like, wow, that shit didn't work. You do, you get smoked. Remember Mikey? Mikey started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I wonder if, he's probably not He's running for Congress right now. But Mikey, Michael Alfonso, who's running for Congress. He had him on the show in Wisconsin. He used to do Brazilian jiu-jitsu too, I'll tell you. He's a big guy. What is he, like seven feet tall?

1:05:58Yeah, I know, I know he did. He lost like 40 pounds. Campainant does that to you though. I want to show you one more video that's going to save your life too. You know the Huffington Post guy, Blanchet? Doesn't look like a Brazilian jiu-jitsu guy.

1:06:19can we put together andy like a portfolio of all the media people obsessed with stewie not yet because we only have two but keep them in like an evergreen file we do a villain's roster folks in the chat you down with that we need a villain's roster we need we definitely need like what was that the justice league growing up and they had like the bad guys in the cartoon we definitely need that the legion of doom we need the yes andy maybe copyrighted the legion of the damned or something we have the legion of the damned we needed we bought these in a jet why do they always look like this i'm going to save you again when i went into the fbi unlike uh blend ben shea who thinks the public school system is actually working I was going to make it work.

1:07:08And one of the things I was worried about was drones because drones are not the future of warfare. They're the now, and they're also the now of terror attacks. I was terrified about the World Cup, the Super Bowl, and being scared is good because I brought my team in and said, you better do something about it now. So what did you do? We started the first nationwide drone school. We got money to buy brand new equipment. We started, what was it, three or four brand new anti-drone teams. We started doing a tripwire system and collection efforts on people who may be terrorists who sought some of these assets.

1:07:43There was a huge problem. Nobody will deny that it was in the Bureau. This was me and Cash. It wasn't just me. It was me and Cash saying, hey, we got to fix this problem. Why? Look at his video. This is why. This is really disturbing. Hat tip Fox News on this. Here's what happens when you don't have good self. You can't fly, folks. That's fairly obvious, right? This is what it looks like when a drone is tracking you down

1:08:14Why are you stating the obvious? You can't fly Because when I brought that up to people They were like, yeah, he's kind of right It does create a new problem set Because it's not a terrestrial object You can walk up to and disarm or run away from As long as you're faster than the object You can't touch it, but it can touch you At some point, I want you to understand this is going to happen here. And it's going to change everything. It's going to change everything. Every time people hear a buzz, they're going to go, we did everything we could, but we're going to need a full-blown effort from our state, local, and territorial partners as well.

1:09:00This is a huge threat. And that's the reason I was freaked out about it Okay, you know about our contest? We give away$1 ,776 every week Why? Why, Jasmine?

1:09:45Was it Josh again? Okay. All right. All right. Let's see. What do we got? Kim Bubbly in the chat. the chef is an expert at making a word sound very kim bubbly in the chat ring the bell ring that bell that is absolutely correct talking about of course communist candidate francesca hung asked about if she believes thanksgiving should be canceled i'm a chef in an endless word salad you know the word we've been using it for years that's what democrats do word salads a bunch of unconnected items to the questions asked just throw a lot of words in it to convince people you're telling the story.
