In short
Dan Bongino argues there is a “war for the soul” of the country and the Republican movement, claiming left-wing communists and “fake MAGA” insiders use the same tactics: charismatic messaging, lies, and gaslighting. He also pushes online privacy and attacks claims about taxes and socialism.
Guest backgrounds
No guests are interviewed in the transcript. Bongino references public figures and clips (e.g., Bernie Sanders, Al Sharpton, Gavin Newsom, Avelia Chavoyer, and a YouTube economics host, Caleb Hammer).
Key claims
Media/institutions lost public trust and that vacuum is being exploited to hijack the party. Bongino says his side has “tally sheet” evidence: arrests/convictions/ongoing cases (pipe bomber, Comey, Newsom/Hochul staff, Antifa/BLM/SPLC, New Orleans mayor, COVID-related arrests, swatting cases, Benghazi case) plus record-low crime and murder rates. He claims wealthy people pay substantial taxes (top 1% about 34% per IRS data) and mocks “rich pay zero” narratives. He argues government spending isn’t socialism; socialism is government control of the means of production.
Notable examples
John Bolton’s classified-information plea; Bernie Sanders criticizing private-jet hypocrisy; a Caleb Hammer exchange where a liberal can’t anchor “more” taxes; Gavin Newsom’s “national billionaire’s tax” and an alleged California tax-rate admission; California population exodus headlines; Avelia Chavoyer’s “seize the means of production” and rent-control consequences.

5:22Thanks, Delete Me. All right, fellas. First fell in a week. So I was gone last week. I took a little trip with the family. I hope you're enjoying your summer. And I'm going to tell you something.
5:34I totally forgot you guys like that. And it's so dramatic, the weekend update thing. It's so dramatic. Like I'm going to talk about like I invaded like a communist country by myself. It's like, what'd you do, Dan? Do we get a big drama? And clearly he went and like took over a communist country by himself and stood on a hill like no, no, that's not what happened at all. I actually just took a little beach vacation that the Bahamas with my family. But let me tell you something. When you're watching your kid, right? My other daughter was working, but my youngest daughter's with me. swimming with some sea turtles in like the bluest water around and you're just like standing on a beach it wasn't even anything like super fancy i promise you and i said sitting up these sea turtles come dad look grab a little tc turtle put them back sea turtles come on people people were like feeding them stuff with some other crew whatever you see what i mean i don't know i'm not jack who still you know i grew up in the city i swam in a freaking fire hydrant you know like this i learned how to swim until I was a Secret Service agent.
6:34True story. She's sitting there and she's like, Dad, look at this. And the turtles keep coming over. I saw a little barracuda. I was like, hey, get your jewelry out of water. You see your daughter smile. And nothing like that. Nothing like it. Like surely you did something like amazing. You went and visited like the Taj Mahal. No, no. We just really dipped our feet in really clear blue water, stepped in the sand, ground it a little bit watch some sea life and you know what we did at night we had a little dock party we hung out in some folding chairs it probably cost 20 bucks at Walmart my friend brought out some cigars I don't smoke but they did but the smoke smelled pretty sweet it did I had a couple I'm not really a vodka drinker but I tried it for the first time I had a few drinks on me and we were just telling stories one of the guys who was a Navy SEAL a real you know an actual Navy SEAL you just out there telling stories we're all just sitting there like this is the life man it's the life but it is good to be back with you guys when i was gone of course you know me people like to uh people like to f with me a lot it's usually a mistake because i usually kick you square in the fucking ball sorry i'm trying not to curse as much i in the freaking balls i'm really trying it's not really working uh you know i give zero shits about that toying with me is never a good idea, but people like to do it anyway, and they typically lose.
7:59So of course you had a bow tie wear, you know, out there again, but it's a 40th, 50th time claiming he's got some freaking material. He just refuses to disclose. So you probably saw that. So folks, there's a war going on for the soul of our country. You see it with this fight going on with the communists right now. This is really serious, but there's a war going on, an equally important war for our movement. and I want you to know that I'm proud proud and I mean it like really really genuinely proud not harmful boastful pride but proud to be part of a movement with you that is really committed to this country but bedrocked in truth as well that we don't get suckered by stupid conspiracy theories we don't get suckered by nonsense I'll show you the text okay here are the text show us the text oh I don't have that okay well whatever I'm really proud to be on the right side of this There's a vacuum of trust that's developed in America over the course of the last 30 or 40 years in the media, in institutions.
8:57I understand that. I understand that. That vacuum of trust is going to take a long time to clean up. But it's really shameful people trying to hijack our party and direct people down a vortex of pure stupidity. How they've hijacked this moment by being kind of charismatic messengers to get people to believe in a bunch of stupid shit. don't fall for charismatic messengers. I'm a spreadsheets guy. You want a tally? I'll give you a tally. You want to find out where this movement needs to be and where it needs to go, or do you want to fall down this vortex of stupid into the phantom zone of idiocy with these other lunatics sniffing their freaking, putting their dumbass camel noses under the tent trying to take over our movement?
9:45Here's the tally sheet. Think about this, right? So we've had our body of work. Arrests, convictions, pleas, or ongoing investigations or trials into Charlie's case, the pipe bomber, Comey, Newsom, Kathy Hochul's staff, Antifa, BLM, the SPLC, New Orleans mayor, the grand conspiracy investigation going on right now. the COVID arrests and the diamonds, swatting cases, the Benghazi case in Bakush, crime rates the lowest in U.S. history, murder rate lowest in U.S. history, percentage drops the most in U.S. history. That's our tally sheet. That's our tally sheet, dipshits on the other side. Your tally sheet is what?
10:31Your tally sheet is how to write this down. Multiple defamation suits, not a single actionable suspect, content grifting attacks on MAGA people and constant gaslighting speaking untruths, speaking them loudly isolating people from the truth that's all you have that's the tally, that's just the facts I'm proud to be with you on the right side of this and you're always told by the doomers trying to destroy our movement because they're no different than the left. Make no mistake. This is not infighting. It's outfighting. These people are not part of our movement. They were never part of our movement.
11:19Look at these people. Damn, why are you mentioning? Because I've already mentioned their names. I'm not giving them our substantial audience's attention every day and wasting your time anymore. There's too much going on. I'm simply trying to make the point that the war for the soul of our country is no different when we're fighting the communists rather than we're fighting the MAGA, fake MAGA people sticking their nose under the tent trying to destroy this place with a shit bomb from the inside. The war is no different. They both use the same tactics. Lies, deceit, proud, vocal lying, and isolating people from the truth.
11:55Remember we were told by the media about the John Bolton case? Oh my gosh, this must have been revenge. the FBI and Cash and Dan Abe went after this guy because it was revenge there's no there there well when I was out this happened it seems like the no there there people were wrong again check this out Bolton's classified information case so he is now in court and expected to change his plea to guilty to one count of retaining classified information The former national security advisor admits he retained classified information within a diary entry. He faces up to five years in prison and a fine of over two million dollars.
12:42There you go. So I'm entitled to his day in court. Plead guilty. Not vindictive, not revenge. It's called process. That's what we do in a republic. It's not a freaking lynch mob, folks. You want a lynch mob? Join the French Revolution. Jefferson thought it was a good idea, too. I loved Jefferson, till he didn't. Till he saw the guillotine outside in the square. I thought there was nothing happening. There was no there there. Remember when all the media grifters? Same tactic, by the way, as the fake, you know, people trying to insert themselves into the magotent. The exact same tactic. doom gloom bullshit lies and gaslight remember when they told you this i saw this tweet up the street oh this was definitely revenge there was nothing there even the wall street journal chimed in on this one the fake news lied they noted this uh fbi account here's some of the headlines they put out about the bolton case patel ordered the bolton fbi distraction raid on the epstein files release day oh yeah yeah john bolton raid shows weaponization of fbi against patel's gangster-less.
13:59Former deputy director blasted Cass Patel, not me, for elevating risks for agents during Patel Reb, calling it irresponsible. He pled guilty. Here you go. Trump gets revenge on John Bolton. Who's next? Case didn't even start under ours. We just finished it. And he pled guilty. I thought there was nothing there. I thought nothing was happening. Again, arrests, convictions, pleas, or ongoing investigations into all these cases right now. You got a trial going on right now for Charlie. You got the pipe bomb case. I think we got, we're ready to defend ourselves in court. What do you guys have? What's your tally sheet, bro?
14:47Multiple defamation suits. Not a single suspect you've been able to produce that would stand up anywhere in any kind of constitutional republic. maybe stand up to the guillotine in the French off with their heads these people are traitors man they're traitors to our movement and some of them are traitors to our country and believe me I use that word very deliberately that's not a mistake folks they're no different than the frauds and commies on the left and I'm telling you I've never had a prouder moment in this space than this moment right now with you guys and ladies out there the fact that we came back in this kind of maelstrom of chaos and doom and grifting and bullshit massive foreign funded money coming into this to get you to believe that the party's done and everybody to turn on each other tower of babel starts to cannibalizing each other and eating ourselves alive the fact that the overwhelming majority of this movement is still there i'm telling you man it is so refreshing to get out in the real world i don't get out a lot I don't, but having spent this week away in a foreign country, no less, not far, but in a foreign country and having so many people come up to that.
16:02I met a bunch of people I hadn't known yet and say the nicest things. It is so refreshing to realize that that's not the real world. That's not the real world. They're not even a minority. They're the minority of the minority. Folks, they're no different than the frauds and commies on the left. There is a battle for the soul of this country. If you believe in freedom and liberty and 250 years of kicking ass, there's a formula. It's called the republic. We've done it. We've been there. We've made the mistakes. We've learned from them. Why would you want to repeat the mistakes of history over and over again, like the tragic, horrible starvation, torture, and poverty mistake of communism?
16:44Why would you want to bring that here? Leave aside the fake MAGA bums for now. and there's a bunch of them because they're no different than these people. But I want you to understand one thing they both have in common is they're frauds. They claim they're looking for evidence. And then when you give them evidence, they ignore the evidence and just move on to more conjecture. This is the same thing the left does. Here is exhibit A and what I'm talking about. They are no different. The commies and the freaking black pill bums are the exact same frauds. Here's Bernie Sanders this past week. He's on with Bret Baier talking about, hey, man, you're always like railing against the oligarchy and the millionaires and billionaires.
17:27Yet you're flying around the country in a private jet while bitching and moaning about carbon dioxide emissions. So is this a priority for you that you're willing to live by the rules you claim are better for the advancement of humanity? Or is it not? Bernie Sanders basically just outs himself. He's like, I don't really give a shit. It's convenient for me to do it. and you guys can go double barrel middle finger. You doubt me? Listen to his own words. Check this out. You saw Donald Trump during a campaign mode at National Airport. No, no, no. It doesn't. But he's also not fighting the oligarchy.
18:00No. You run a campaign and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. The only way you can get around to talk to 30 ,000 people. Think I'm going to be sitting on a waiting line at United waiting, you know, while 30 ,000 people are waiting? That's the only way you can get around. No apologies for that. That's what campaign travel is about. We've done it in the past. We're going to do it in the future. How are you falling for this? Liberals, please. We need like a show time out, like a whistle. Can we take like a 20 second? How are you falling for this? I don't get how the minority of minority fall for the bullshit art of grifters.
18:40I've got evidence. You're going to show it? No, I'm never going to show it. But you're going to keep falling for it. liberals are just as freaking stupid I'm dead serious when I ask you this I don't know a way to say this kindly how are you falling for this bullshit Bernie Sanders is the ultimate limousine liberal what do you think I'm gonna wait in line at the airport with the great unwashed you smelly little bastards you think I'm gonna sit with you sitting online eating pretzels he's just admitting that he's a big limousine liberal he's laughing in your face you stupid shits on the left he's laughing in your face folks stupid is a choice you don't have to be stupid why are you falling for this guy's bullshit
19:42why don't I take commercial flight because it's convenient for me you don't think it's convenient for other people too why why not redistribute your your private jet hours and give it to a guy on a charity flying over to Haiti or whatever to rescue some orphan kids it's more important for you to go to a bullshit javouille rally, Mamdani rally in New York? Stupid is a choice, dipshits. How do you keep falling for this shit? Why are you so stupid? We believe in free markets. We believe in the ability to earn money, to retain private property. That's how we live. You may not like it, but there's no hypocrisy in it.
20:32Bernie said, well, Trump's a private... He's a freaking capitalist who earned money. He's lost money. He's earned money. You don't have to like him, but at least he's not a freaking fraud.
20:47You want to see how dumb these people are? Folks, stupid is a choice. Stop being stupid on the left. So there's this guy, Caleb Hammer, has a show on YouTube. It's quite good. He does very good on the economics. Does very well. She's been in the economic content. He has a Bluetooth liberal, excuse me, Bluetooth. Well, maybe blue tea too. Who knows? Maybe she had some methylene. I get blue tea sometimes. I take the methylene blue. It's true. Remember that time? I took it before the show and I forgot. Usually I had like Smurf tongue going there. So Jasmine was like, are you okay? They got this blue haired lady on, some liberal lady.
21:30obviously like a socialist communist and this guy Caleb Hammer asks her a basic question like hey man you want the rich and the wealthy just like you know Bernie and all to pay more but what's more mean like what do they pay now if I ask you for more money can I borrow more money and let's just say I meet you on the street and you're rich and we just met each other and we were sitting down we're hanging out on the dock on the cheap lawn chairs and I'm like hey uh Tony we just met but can I borrow more money? He's going to be like, what do you mean more? You've never asked me to borrow. No, more.
22:05Well, more from what? More money. I know, but you never asked me to borrow money in a pet. What do you mean more? You mean$10? You mean$1 ,000? So this dipshit is asked a simple question like, how much do they pay now? Because you want them to pay more. So more needs an anchor, correct? More, anchor, here's the number. We want more. Because if you don't have an anchor, the number could be below. Is this hard? This is not hard. This is called like basic logic a kindergartner gets. Mary, do you want more food? Mommy, I don't have any food yet. So how could I ask for more? Right? Watch this exchange with Caleb Hammer and this absolute idiot.
22:49Stupid is a choice. Don't be stupid. Check this out. What percent does the top 1 % pay in federal income taxes? None. I think it's about 40 to 50%. No, I believe it's about 35%. Then the top 10 % pays 50 to 60%. Top 50 % pays 99%. The bottom 50 % of earners only pay 1%. Did you know we actually have the most progressive income tax system in the entire Western world? Did you know that? I did not. Oh, we do. Of course you didn't know that. Why know anything before having an opinion? You're probably a raised taxes person, aren't you? but you didn't even know that we have the most progressive income tax in the entire western world you think i know that you think the top one percent pays zero percent okay but that's actually just not true according to irs data folks i'm asking you now as i asked you beginning of the show please tell me the difference from blue-haired liberal lady al sharpton that'll be important in a minute bernie sanders and the black pill doomer grifters trying to take over our movement.
23:57Please tell me the difference. Provide evidence for what you're saying. I'll get to it tomorrow. It's secret. And it never comes, ever. They don't know anything. Stupid is a choice for these people. You don't have to follow stupid people. You know what they remind me of? They remind me of a battlefield analogy. They're sitting there leading their army of morons. They're like, charge! Sir, those are the friendlies. The redcoats are that way. Oh, I'm sorry. Charge! No, no, no, it's that hill, not this hill. They're over there. Stupid is a choice. You don't have to be stupid. I'm going to take a quick break.
24:38I'm going to show you another one of these. It's a classic from the show of how these communists and their takeover is built around, this is the religion of imbeciles and morons. You don't have to be stupid. Stupid is a choice. You have AI to help you now. You have almost a surrogate brain if your brain is too stupid to process information. You can say to ChatGPT, I'm really stupid. I have a 60 IQ. Can you assist me in getting smarter and answer my questions? It will help you. So will Grok.
25:15Quick break. I'm going to show you another one of these. We have a choice, folks. there is a war for the soul of this country you're the soldiers in that war don't be on the wrong side of this man hey if you're a homeowner you probably thought should i call american financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt and sometimes you may second guess yourself because that low uh low mortgage rate you have that you currently have right listen uh listen 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 the math no one wants to face, but it's costing you thousands.
25:50Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt's going to follow you for years. American financing is the solution for you. They've been with us a long time. It's a great company. That's why a lot of our listeners are calling American financing.

28:35Because if you're asking me for more hamburgers at a July, well, did you have one? Yeah, no. So why would you want more? You haven't even told me what the freaking number is. Here's a classic we play on the show all the time, but it's worth it because it goes to show you that they never know. There are generations of stupid liberals who really believe wealthy Americans pay no taxes at all. They have no idea what the numbers are, despite the fact they could just go to AI and ask that shit. It's really simple. Here's an old classic John Stossel versus Al Sharpton on this. Check this out. The rich do not pay their share.
29:11That's a widespread belief. But do the politicians even know how much of the income tax burden the rich pay now? The top 1 % in this country pays very much less than 10%, very much less than 5%. So what's fair? The top 1 % should pay 10 % of America's income taxes, 20 %? They should pay somewhere around 15%. They don't pay 5%. Anybody could see that as unequal and unfair. So they should pay 15%, he says. And the richest 1 % now pay less than 10%. Then he said less than 5%. But that's so silly because, and I bet most of you don't know this, The IRS says the richest 1 % of taxpayers already pay 34%, twice what Sharpton wanted them to pay.
29:58The Reverend barely reacted when I told him. They're already paying 34%. No, I think that if you deal with the quality of their lives. He quickly changed the subject. He never would admit how far off he was. They always change the subject. The Black Pill Doomer bros do the same thing. Did you notice this? Folks, the theme of today's show, keep it in your head. What's the difference between Bernie Sanders, AOC, Chevalier, commies, and the Doomer grifter bros? What's the difference? Absolutely nothing. Ask them for evidence They get the evidence wrong Or they don't produce it And then when you confront them with the number They actually pay 34 % The top 1 % They just move on and change the subject To Egyptian planes or something This doesn't strike you as like You're being played, you're a mark You're a mark You're being played by the dude in Times Square In the 80s Who used to sell you a Rolex out of his jacket They'd be like$5 that's a Rolex yeah it's real and for$5 yeah I got a guy oh you got a guy alright they would do it with sunglasses too they'd be like here's a pair of Oakleys those look like Folklies to me at least the cheap umbrellas they acknowledge are cheap they're not even lock offs you've fallen for this shit why is this popping into the national conversation again that it made it on the show because a lot of people are willingly jumping off this cliff into the phantom zone of stupid, and they're following morons like the Grifter Bros, the Grifter Podcast Bros, and people like Gavin Newsom.
Read the full transcript
31:46They're no different. Here's Gavin Newsom, who, by the way, there was a billionaire tax on the ballot in California. Newsom, behind the scenes, was actually fighting against this thing in California because he knows that the people who established billion dollar and trillion dollar businesses in California, creating all of the wealth that builds out the parks in the state and everything else, that the second they do this billionaire tax, they're all going to leave. So because his base of lunatics and commie asshole frauds started giving him shit over it, we got to steal from people more money.
32:22What does he do? He goes out and films one of these hostage videos now calling for a national billionaire's tax and suckers are falling for this. Not good enough for his state, but it's good enough for everyone else. Check this out. It's time for a national billionaire's tax and a new social contract. Think about this. Just 10 % of people, 10 % of people in this country own two-thirds of the wealth. The system is fundamentally broken. The federal tax code, the corporate tax code, and the inheritance tax code seem to be written for a different set of Americans. It's time for an economic reset, a true minimum tax, a true minimum tax on billionaires that ensures the people at the very top pay at least the tax rate their own workers pay.
33:08They pay more, asshole. How stupid are you? Can you just like use your surrogate AI brain and ask basic questions? By the way, hat tip, Mays Moore, great account on XMAZE, always does great research. Fantastic for clips. Here's Mays Moore, a clip of Gavin Newsom a while ago, still had the slick back hair gel look going, however, admitting in a little party full of people that the tax rate in California is way too high. These people can't even keep their own stories straight. They sound like the Doomer Grifter bros. Check this out. There's a little bit of... The taxes are a little hard. And you stopped going.
33:52All they talked about was the tax. Where's that? Where's that? No, we're not competitive. Our tax rates are not competitive, period. I know. Yeah, just a fact. You said, do you see patient health in Hampshire? I'm going to figure out how to spend... Oh, we have the episode. We have the episode. We have the episode. It's a little hard. We're going to Vegas, the problem. Yeah. Well, it's not... It's not... There's no mass exodus. It's just more disgruntled. Yeah, yeah, yeah. folks uh but there are a few that i know are on their way out which is even more tragically comical because he's even wrong about the end portion of that there has been a mass exodus out of california look at the irs data we have that montage justin put together uh we put up on the show all the time of the mass exodus out of california do these people get anything right liberals I know you claw at your faces you shit in your diapers and everything because you can't stop you can't stop this this this eventual reconciliation you're gonna have with the truth you can only lie to yourself for so long before you realize you're a moron and it hurts I understand like it hurts like I get it like gosh I believed in these people for so long and they've lied to me I put out a tweet about this weekend about the Doomer Grifter bros it's gotta be really tough to have invested hours and hours into Rachel Maddow, Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsom, and all of these other doomer, grifter, loser bros, only to find out that everything they talked about was bullshit.
35:27You got to feel like, gosh, I got suckered. Here it is right here. Stop, man. Stop, man. Do not flee. We're Braveheart special. Los Angeles leads nation in Massive population exodus is breaking point. It's golden state. Look at these headlines. California loses 500 ,000 residents in two years as they flee high costs and COVID restrictions. New York's going to lose two congressional seats due to population loss. Are you guys ever right about anything? So just to be clear with you guys, right? As we played in the beginning of the show with the Bernie clip. Bernie Sanders his whole life, because he's never had a freaking job.
36:06The guy's a bum. He is a bum. A straight-up, classless, fraud bum, no different than a Times Square watch salesman. That's all he is. This is the pastor in your church of stupid? And you don't feel dumb being one of his sheep? Nothing he tells you is true. This is a priority for me. We got to get rid of the private jets, the wealth, the millionaires and billionaires. Bro, you're a freaking millionaire who flies on private jets. Does it not strike you that you're full of shit?
36:48It's a priority for you. It's such a priority for you that your only job has been to run against the people like you, the millionaires with the private jets. But it's not enough of a priority that you're willing to actually make any significant life change at all. Donate your money. put it all in the Trump accounts give it to the kids watch the liberals freak out when they see the appreciation on these Trump accounts and people realize giving their money the government was a loser instead of keeping it in one of their own accounts watch what happens in the next 10 years folks red flags in the chat please we got to take a Dan Bongino show time out red flags in the chat episode number 2005 wow we are 2546 holy Moses episode 2546 I thought we were finished Justin, all of our haters.
37:37These guys are going to do another show. Flag it in the chat, folks. Watch over the course of the next five and ten years as these Trump accounts appreciate in the free market economy and people realize for generations they gave their money with Social Security to the government who gave them the double barrel middle finger and stole it. Watch the liberal freak out as America wakes up. Folks, these people are full of shit and it is exhausting. Put up that, ask chat GPT how much the top 1 % because you can do this too liberals. I know you won't because again you're too freaking dumb but you can just put in like chat GPT.
38:19What are you putting there? What do the top 1 % of earners in the US pay of the total income tax loan? Let's see what it comes back with. Al Sharpton says zero, whatever 2 % or something that Bluetooth lady, Bluetooth hair lady. They pay 40%. 40%. It's even higher than when Al Sharpton. That was 34%. Top 1 % pay 40 % of the income tax. Stupid asses. The top 10 % own a significant chunk of the... Yeah, that's how math works, you idiot. They also pay most of the taxes. Newsom, you freaking moron. You don't know how math and percentages work? This is a great clip. This is this guy, Shabos, and he's out there arguing with these DSA, Democrat Socialists of America morons.
39:11And notice how, again, they just shift the topic to, that's not what we're talking about. Whenever you bring up a evidenced fact-based point to refute their stupid, rich don't pay any taxes. Actually, they pay 40%, the top 1%. Nice weather out there in Florida. Did you just change the topic? are you ever going to address what I said? It's the Doomer bros on the podcast. They do the same thing. They never have any evidence for anything. I want you to watch this when this guy Shabos confronts them, these DSA idiots. And he's like, hey man, you don't find it kind of weird that like people risk their lives to escape the system you've built your life around or tried to socialism or at least speaking about it.
39:54You don't live that way. And yet everyone wants to come here to a free market system. You say sucks. You don't find that on watch them laugh and just we're not talking about they just changed the subject This is how you know you're being suckered. Is that a real Rolex? I'm buying a Times Square out of your jacket. Oh Look squirrel Check this out how many people then are escaping the United States to go to China Cuba Venezuela or Russia This is not Have you I would say that's not a fair argument to make because there's multiple factors outside of your preference and economic models. And ability to move.
40:31Yeah, also like I don't want to leave my grandma. My grandma's here. Be damned if it's socialist. My grandma's here. It makes no sense. It's just such a ridiculous question. So let me explain. Maybe you're misunderstanding my point then. We are talking about which systems are better than others. I'm making the argument that capitalism is the most perfect system we have out of any other market. And my proof to that, among many other things that we've spoken about in this episode is that you have people coming on boats to escape regressive socialist countries. And if you're trying to... A lot of people not doing that.
41:01Okay, well, I have a colleague at PragerU named Franklin Camargo, and he literally escaped from Venezuela to come to the United States. Your anecdotal evidence is totally sufficient. It's not anecdotal evidence, which is why you have 14, at least, 14 to 30 million illegal immigrants who are living in the United States because they're escaping their own lives. And in fact, the argument the left makes as to why we can't bring them back to their countries is because their countries are so dangerous and are so anarchist-esque that we have to keep them in the United States. So if your argument is that either, actually, no, capitalism is not the best system, or if the argument is, no, kind of all systems are kind of random or there's no one better than the other, then if that is the case, then why don't you see millions of Americans in the same way you see millions of people in this world coming to America, leaving America specifically to flee the system?
41:44And I'm arguing we're actually seeing the opposite. Why? Because this is the most perfect of all available options for a market economy. Libs, dumbasses. Stupid is a choice. You don't have to be an imbecile. It's like, oh, gosh, people come in here like that. Anecdotal evidence. Did you just miss the 20 million or something people in the four years of the Biden open border era who were quite literally on film and drone footage crossing our borders by the hundreds of thousands a month did you miss that you stupid bastards tens of thousands of canadians that's not even a communist country it's a heavy liberal welfare state tens of thousands with free health care in canada which is paid for by massive taxes and a shitty healthcare system, tens of thousands of them come over the border on the North to get healthcare in the United States where they pay again just to get away from shitty healthcare.
42:52Do you not know any of this? People risk their lives where the guns are pointed in. The guns are pointed in on the wall. If you flee, we will shoot you and kill you. People risk their lives to escape this shit garbage system Bernie Sanders and these others are jamming down our throats all over the country right now. And yet nobody does that in the United States. And nobody's fleeing here. Nobody's fleeing here. The guns are pointed out. We have to protect our borders. You can leave any time. So I say to the liberals, why not just go to these young little dipshits in this video, these absolute morons?
43:39Why not leave? You've made your whole life about this system you think is utopia Of government theft That's what socialism is The government theft of means of production Factories, all your iPhones, your private property, your real estate The government owns all of it There is no private property in socialism, okay? Why not just go? The answer is because you're either stupid Or you don't know what you're signing up for which makes you even dumber than being just plain stupid. Here's what I'm talking about, too. Put up that Wall Street Journal article. Here's this communist that won out in Colorado.
44:18I told you, I brought up Colorado last week. You think this communist takeover around the country is just limited to blue states? It's not. It's in purple states, too. This lady, Keros, won a congressional primary on the Democrat side. Not a state delegate spot, like a United States House of Representatives spot. She's a big socialist commie too. And what does she think communism is? She said she wants the model to be in our healthcare, to be in our access to nutritional food. That includes free pre-K and college. The socialist dreams can be tapped by taxing millionaires. And she goes, we already have socialism, right?
44:53At the roads we drive on in our fire stations. Folks, this is not socialism. Unless the government owns the asphalt companies and has taken over and seized the means of production, It is not socialism. That is not what it is. You can just look it up. Stupid is a choice, bro. This has a real consequence for impressionable, stupid people who drive on a road and are like, wow, driving's really nice. This must be socialism. Folks, the government passing laws which impose taxes on people to spend on a product or service, roads, school buildings, or whatever it is, that is not socialism. Government spending is not the mark of socialism.
45:44Government control of production and spending is socialism. Just do like an ounce of homework, man. Folks, these people are arguing for something they don't live in their own lives because they're frauds like Bernie and they don't understand. This is a big deal. It's not as if hundreds of millions of people haven't died signing up for this same system of governance. Here's this same lady out in Congress, by the way, who's going to be in Congress soon. here she is blaming America for 9-11 blaming America for 9-11
46:29this is where we you think I was exaggerating at the beginning of the show when I said there's a war for the soul of this country it's going on right now and you better damn well be on the right side of it because this is not a joke this is not something to be gaffed off watch yourself do you believe that the 9-11 terrorist attacks on America were the inevitable consequence of American foreign policy inevitable in the sense that we destabilized a lot of the middle east um that forced people to believe that another act of violence was the only response and again just like i said before our responsibility is to getting rid of those conditions that lead to violence in the first place you know again the F this lady, man.
47:16I'm trying not to curse as much. It's really hard. The Queensmith, F this lady and her bullshit. You're telling me flying a jumbo jet into a building full of innocent people who were forced to jump 100, 110 stories to explode on the ground or burn alive that that was justified because of American foreign policy. These people are traitors. These people are traitors. Folks, this is a really serious, grave, almost Manichaean fight going on right now.
48:03I need everybody to be on the right side of this, man. And don't get distracted by the grifter bros and the other stuff.
48:14Folks, some of them are just brutally honest, too. And when I say give credit, don't take this as like a statement of like affirmation of their ideas. Some of them are really just honest. So in case you think like, well, Dan, you know, these stupid socialists aren't really commies. And some of them just don't even know what it is. No, Bernie knows what it is. He's just lying to you about what it is and doesn't live it in his own life. This lady who up in New York, this Chavoyer lady, who's the new AOC, but worse, she's smarter than AOC. She's just an idiot. She just came out and said it. Avelia Chavoyer, a Ph.D.
48:53student whose victory sent shockwaves through the Democratic establishment, has been under fire for a since deleted Twitter account that was reported by CNN and included phrases such as, oh, look at this, fellas. Seize the means of production, along with calls to abolish police, prisons, and borders. Ladies and gentlemen, some of these people aren't stupid. They're just lying to you about what they know and hope you don't. Seize the means of production. Do you know what that means? liberals stupid is a choice this lady is telling you what she wants to do you have a business that produces whatever calculators in tuscaloosa you're making a couple hundred thousand dollars a year maybe before taxes it's a family-owned business that's a means of production what does seize mean?
49:54Seize means to take. She's telling you. Do you see? Put it up again, please. She's telling you what she wants to do. Seize the means of production. You're the means of production, not her. This loser's never had a real job.
50:15By the way, I'd love to point out that they're big freaking frauds. Alinsky rule, what is it, number four? Make them live by their own rules, right? So production involves services too, like housing. You going to seize your father's apartment building? Chavoyer? What do you mean, Dan? New York Post headline, Mary Jacob. Homeowner bashing Avelia Chavoyer's father is a landlord. Rents his Miami condo for$1 ,750 a month. $16 more to be giving away as much as we can. 6 to 7, he could donate that. Isn't that crazy? Like, we're actually giving money away. Where'd a free market be? He's taking it from someone.
50:58Is it Daria Chavoye? PhD, folks. PhD. Is she seizing that means of production? Producing housing services? Of course not. Because just like Bernie, she's full of shit.
51:14Folks, these people aren't kidding. They're not kidding. Here's Mom Dami, 34-year-old former rapper, I guess. Also never had a real job. He's never been in a coal mine. He's never had to change out a circuit breaker as an electrician. He's never been an HVAC guy in a Florida attic in the middle of the summer checking out someone's broken AC so they don't die a heat stroke. He's never been a plumber working on some cooling system or some sanitation issue in a house so that the house doesn't get overwhelmed with infectious disease. He's never done any of that shit. But he loves doing cute social media videos.
51:55Hey, here's me with a popsicle stick, whatever the he's eating. Talking about the New York Rent Control Board. There's already a rent control board. It's called real estate, buying property. He wants to seize your property too. You think this doesn't have real world consequences? It does. Check this out. New York, the Independent Rent Guidelines Board just froze the rent. That means if you're one of the more than 2 million New Yorkers who lives in a rent-stabilized apartment, your rent's going to be frozen next year.
52:32Folks, there is a way to control rent. It's called pricing. When the government controls rent, what the government does is decrease the supply of apartments because a landlord who just bought a building, who may have invested his life into it, is not going to rent an apartment where he can't make an income on the apartment. He's not going to lose money. I know this is hard for you morons on the left to understand. So what happens? They shrink the supply of apartments. What also happens? You get increased demand. Because if I can rent a$1 ,000 apartment, $1 ,000 a month, or$1 ,750, Chavalier's dad's condo price, apparently, according to the Post.
53:15If I can rent it for$1 ,000, there's going to be tons of applications because that's not the market price. Then you get black markets, which you have in New York with subletting. And you get quality problems because landlords don't invest in property they can't make money on. How is this hard?
53:37Ladies and gentlemen, stupid is a choice. Someone said in the chat, we should put that on the shirt. Stupid is a choice. Maybe we should. Paula. Mom. Maybe we should. Stupid is a freaking choice. You don't have to be stupid. You don't have to listen to moron podcast bros and Bernie Sanders fake commies like Chavalier and others who can never produce any of it. Do you ever ask yourself, like, I need evidence for this premise I'm going to waste an hour or two of my life on? I produced our tallies. What do we got? Lowest crime rate, lowest murder rate. What do you got? Defamation suits. You have nothing.
54:20No service to the country ever. Service to yourself. Did you hear Trump go off on the commies, by the way? And the rent control people? This is good. No one gets it better than Trump. He's a builder, real estate guy in New York. Nobody understands the market better than him. I'm going to tell you a quick story about it. Quick break, last break, and I'll get right back to it.

President Trump, so one of the last interviews he did before the last presidential election, I don't know if you guys remember, but it was on the podcast. Many of you were there in the Bongino Army. We had like 300-something thousand live streamers for that show. It was crazy that day. But before the show, Guy, you were there.
56:35Remember this? we were chatting before the show and i was asking the president i said mr president said you know that waldman rink story bottom line is it was this ice skating rink in new york for no one could fix it for decades it was always broken it was just like an eyesore a disaster whatever trump comes in just regular donald trump wasn't the president yet obviously and he's like listen i can fix this he did it like six months i asked him about this story because i was a new york city resident i I know it's not a big deal to anyone in the chat. Like, what the hell is an ice skating rink? But it was a huge story in New York because this freaking rink was such an eyesore.
57:11Trump fixes it like that. I'm talking to him before the show. And he's going into, like, the mixture of brine and salt property. What do they call that with the collegiate of properties? He's like, he blew me away. Like, he was the measuring how they got it in there, right? And keep in mind, this was decades ago. So I leave the interview. The interview goes great. Paula and I are walking down. I think we had stopped in Times Square for something, whatever. And I said to her on the way out, because I knew what I was thinking. I said, Paula, what was the most impressive part of that interview? She goes, the ice skating rink before the interview thing.
57:47I think he mentioned it on the interview, too, if you go back and watch it later. I said, yes. This guy, he speaks very discursively. I get it. He's just, he bounces around a lot. I do it, too, sometimes. I got a little bit of, like, ADHD sometimes, right? This guy knows his stuff. That's why when he hears about stupid freaking ideas like rent control, rent control is one of the most economically debunked fallacies in human history. You can't control gun control. There's no such thing. You're never going to control guns. Criminals don't give a shit about you controlling guns at all. Just like landlords who need to make money will figure out a way around it.
58:28Here's Trump talking about rent control and mom, Dami. This is great. He's like I'd be the greatest commie ever just give away. It's all free right check this out And as you saw with the communists elected in New York City recently, they're communists and not social Democrats They want to completely destroy the traditional American way of life Communism is very easy to sell It destroys everything but it's very easy. I'd be I'll be honest. I think I'd be the greatest communist in history I'd give free rent ladies and gentlemen From now on, you don't have to pay any rent. From now on, anybody wants a house, don't worry about it.
59:07Just pick the house you want. Everybody gets free food. Everything is free from this point forward. Everyone's going to vote for me. The problem is, after two or three years, the country is a disaster area. The country fails. They always do. It always does. So easy to sell. That first year, boy, you're the most popular. It's happening right now in New York. and California. But you'll start living in squalor. You'll live in squalor. There will be no food. There will be no housing. There will be no military. There will be no law and order. There will be no nothing. There will be no nothing. You'll be a third world inhabitant in every way, and everyone will suffer or die.
59:52You'll suffer or die. This is what happens. For thousands of years, it's been happening by different names. Thousands of years. I would be, I'm telling you, I'd be the greatest communist in history. It would be so easy. You wouldn't have to work. You could stay home. The problem is a couple of years go by, the whole place collapses. Always does. Always has. Karma 379 in the chat says, Dan, I remember the Waldman rink, ice skating rink story. It was amazing. Yes, it was. This guy's a freaking doer. He's a spreadsheets guy. He's transactional. He understands having grown up in David Dinkins, Ed Koch, A-beam, Democrat, Communist New York.
1:00:35When I was a kid, when I grew up, he's older than me. Obviously, he's got a lot more experience, but Lindsey and others up there, right? He's seen it. He's seen the death, the destruction, the murder rate explode, the entire city collapse. He's seen it. He understands it. He's lived it. that's the difference between him and komdami the communist komdami's never had a freaking job komdami doesn't know what he how old is this guy like 34 folks i'm sorry but in today's tiktok world and stuff i love younger people it's not a knock on you but can we at least be honest there's a lot less responsibility convert on the average conferred on the average 18 year old today than there was in say lincoln's time when he was out in you know uh indiana territory in illinois at the time when he's out there like raising his uh you know taking care of his dad's farm where he went to go look for a new wife when he was what like seven years old like it's you'd be arrested by child services now what does mom domi know if you're if you want i mean i'll even make this like give it like a liberal tinge so maybe it makes sense to the liberal dipshits who've chosen stupid as a choice say you want a liberal bookstore somewhere in like a purple state Colorado wouldn't even use a red state.
1:01:51What does Mom Domi know about your freaking bookstore? He's never run a bookstore. He's probably never read a freaking book outside of the Communist Manifesto, and he probably only skimmed that. He doesn't even know who Solzhenitsyn is. Why would you take advice from these idiots rather than a guy like you? Look at his dipshit with his stupid videos. Look at me. I'm eating a popsicle in the freezer. We're going to freeze you right. you get it freeze freeze frozen public yeah yeah we get it moron we get it the question is do you get it folks there is a war going on for the soul of the country i'm going to tell you something man i was gone this week and i had a moment i did you know i'm very candid with you guys and i don't like to pretend like some of these other people do in the bit not a lot but some of them like i'm any better than anybody like i got some like avengers superpower i don't i'm just a dude you know shit stings sometimes but i'm telling you like i really had a moment this week i was out in the real world for a whole week for the first time in a long time i'm usually like in my house or the studio and that's it i don't run into a lot of people but to see like just like Like regular, everyday, like good, decent, God-fearing Americans and listening to them and stuff they're doing and stuff they care about and stuff they think was interesting.
1:03:24We did something they think wasn't. It was just a really, really illuminating experience. I came back with such a smile on this one. I couldn't wait to get back on the air. Because happy 250th. You live in the greatest place on earth. However, we are under attack. and i'm going to tell you something to the liberals out there who think you are speaking to solzhenitsyn read like the first circle or the gulag archipelago or like any of these books about what actual communism looks like when the infiltration is complete you're next how many people in the chat remember my dan bongino cannibalism theory cannibalism which they're trying to institute on the right you notice like i'm serious like the podcast bros and you know who I'm talking about.
1:04:10And the podcast sisters too. They never spend any time on the left anymore. It's a constant attack on us. You don't find that odd? Like I said ever like wow that is strange. You got a bunch of commies taking over America. Their whole show is about us. The good folks actually doing the work. Who gave up the time and did it. Proud to be on the right side of that. This is what happens when you let shit like that take over your movement. It's already there on the left. Folks, when you let a bunch of charismatic charlatans, and they are charismatic, they have audiences, the groupies are shrinking, but the audience is there, make no mistake.
1:04:54When you have charismatic charlatans, eventually, they start calling for everyone under the guillotine because nobody's pure enough. Here's what I mean. Watch this rage out on the left. This is going to happen if we don't stop this shit on our side too. This guy, this guy, Scott Wiener, is like one of the biggest liberals in the country. He's all about the DEI, LGBTQIA, plus two, spirit, trans, whatever, all this stuff. You're not going to find a bigger liberal. So why is he being attacked in a park by a bunch of liberals? Because cannibalism theory. People who don't believe in facts and evidence eventually start running out of people to attack so they eventually have to ingest their own to show how pure they are it's a fake purity test watch what happens to this guy in a park as the guy pretends to like him at first oh i love what you did with the trans stuff and then watch the shift when it comes to the israel issue and uh and gaza check this out scott i think your legislation on trans on trans issues and your legislation specifically protecting queers on the sex offender registry is fantastic.
1:06:16Like, I really applaud you for that. And I think you deserve to be here for that. But I think your housing policy and specifically your housing policy aligning with Yimby's. And I think your policy on the genocide in FOSTA. I think your policy on the genocide of Gaza is terrible. I think you do not belong here. I think you do not belong here. You do not belong here, Scott, anymore. It sucks because you've been wonderful. You've been wonderful for trans people. And you've been terrible. And you've been terrible. You've been terrible. You've been terrible at Gaza. You do not belong here anymore, Scott.
1:07:04and it breaks my fucking heart it breaks my heart so we got a ninja it's my heart there's a ninja there's a ninja is that show katsumi from revenge of the ninja by the way is this guy just tall or is he just surrounded by what about gaza oh is he six seven okay i was gonna say because either that or like there's a lot of very small people in this go he's a moving target this guy He's very tall. You can see it pretty easily. Scott, say something. I debate in cutting this off, but really I'm just enjoying showing you what cannibalism looks like when it takes over your own party. I want to like the person who had such good legislation.
1:07:48I'm warning you. This is what happens when logic and reason and truth. Here is evidence for my claims. That's logic and reason. I make an assertion. whatever the wealthiest one percent pay this amount here's my backup the tax foundation statistics logic and reason will always save you here's the other claim the rich don't pay anything zero well that's refuted by actual evidence what happens next rage is everything we got to keep that ordinarily and object because of your fascination with star wars which sometimes overwhelms my shit. These guys loves all of them. It's crazy. I did not even put it on the job application.
1:08:32Do you have to love Star Wars? I should have. Because all of them like love Star Wars, which is cool, whatever. But that Anakin doesn't work. I'm really sorry. That's what happens. They're saying I hate you, but they're talking to themselves. I mean, think about this. Imagine how angry you'd be if you went and got a degree in like whatever, 14th century, 16-year-old female basket weaving. and you found out that the whole course was made up, there were no baskets in the sink, you'd be really angry like you wasted your money. That's what these people do. Folks, I'm on the side of Team America. This is the greatest country on earth.
1:09:13There's no reason to be miserable all the time. I'm not talking to you. I'm proud to stand with you. To these doomers and grifters and bums with their defamation suits and their bullshit and their lies. one guy's like the freaking like PR guy for freaking Epstein while bitching and moaning about really? this is your beacon of truth? bro give me this is just facts you look it up yourself you don't even me I don't spend a lot of time on it because it's a waste of my time
1:09:46I'm on team America I'm not on team bullshit and that's why they hate me and that's why I flip you the double barrel because there's nothing you can do because it's a Monday in the middle of summer and we're an hour and 10 minutes into the show despite the Robinson trial going on and Trump giving a presser and we still had 51 ,000 people here filling a freaking stadium we're not going anywhere so you can go yourself that bother you? what are you going to do? what are you going to do fat boy? what are you going to do? what are you guys going to do about it? What are you going to do about it? Keep doing podcast episodes?
1:10:33What are you going to do? Keep telling people you got evidence you never produce? You keep talking about Egyptian plane? What are you going to do? It must bother you that you got a bunch of suckers out there that eventually are going to wake up to your whole act. We ain't going nowhere, man. Nowhere. and I got a whole army of folks behind me that are interested in logic and reason, none of your bullshit, because I'm on Team America. You know what? I'm even on Team Oliver Henry. He's not even American, but he loves America. Did you guys see this? Who's Oliver? You know who he is? Oliver Henry, man.
1:11:13This guy, this is great. I found this guy. Well, I didn't, he's popular. I mean, I just saw it on X, but he's all over the place. Oliver Henry. I now understand the American dream. I came to the World Cup because I would offer a last-minute ticket to watch England play Croatia in Dallas, and I started documenting my journey. The content went viral on social media, so much so the President of the United States saw it himself. So I was invited to attend the grand opening of the Great American State Fair for Freedom 250, and halfway through President Trump's speech, I was told to come and wait for a photograph backstage.
1:11:46This sort of thing could only happen in America. As an Englishman, I never really understood what America has to make it the, quote, land of opportunity. But results speak for themselves. Oliver brings the receipts. Look at this. Talking to the boss. Boss loves him. Smiling. Iconic thumbs up shot. Only in America, folks. Only in America. I'm on Team America. I'm on Team Facts. I'm on team serve the public when you can I'm on team give away money when you can I'm definitely not on team commie team bullshit artist team slick back greasy hair zeros I'm not on that team I know that bothers you and Justin how many shits do we give about that zero the whole team I only asked Justin they all said zero zero All right, I didn't get to the Supreme Court stuff.
1:12:49I'm sorry. I will get to it tomorrow. I've got a lot to talk about on that. I've got some thoughts on birthright citizenship. I know you've heard about the cases already, but I mentioned it's a national security problem, and it is. And I owe you an explanation as to why. It's not complicated. Also about mail-in balloting, where I think they went wrong on that. How we lost that is just astonishing. I, with due respect to the Supreme Court, they were way off on that. It's election day. Election day. And them saying, well, the election's not over until the voting is complete. That's like saying a test isn't over until the test taking is complete.
1:13:34What are you going to do? Give people all week to take the test? To create a fair system, you create a timeline for the test. So everybody's playing by the same set of rules.
