In short

Dan Bongino argues that “socialists in name only” and Democrats/left media are dangerous to families and democracy. He frames communism/socialism as leading to death, economic collapse, and authoritarianism, and says Republicans must directly counter it. He also debunks claims that the Trump administration has “lost focus” on mass deportations, citing ICE arrest records and attributing earlier drops to a government shutdown. He criticizes MSNBC/Stephanie Ruhle for calling upcoming Trump 2020-election-related documents “baseless” before they’re released, and mocks “DEI” and “defund the police” proposals as unrealistic.

Guests (named/identified in transcript)

  1. Todd Blanche (acting attorney general; described as former Deputy Attorney General who ran much of DOJ during Bongino’s first year at the Bureau; Bongino claims he drove border/crime/public corruption cases and reforms).
  2. Tom Homan (border czar; cited for statements about ICE arrest numbers and operational impacts of shutdowns).
  3. Vince Colonese (called “your favorite morning podcaster,” scheduled for an interview later).
  4. Mike Johnson (Speaker of the House; quoted/used for the episode title).
  5. Abdul El-Sayed (Democrat socialist candidate for Michigan Senate; quoted on “defund the police” and related views).
  6. Haley Stevens (El-Sayed’s opponent; shown via a mocked motivational clip).
  7. Nidia Velasquez (quoted supporting abolishing ICE).
  8. A “Democratic Socialists of America” leader (quoted in a clip about bombing LA/Miami and “gusanos”/Cuban-Iranian refugees).

Key claims & notable examples

  • “Defund the police” is mocked as leading to higher crime and officers being unprepared (body armor, guns, etc.).
  • “Abolish ICE” is presented as “their own words” (Velasquez quote).
  • El-Sayed is used as an example of “defund the police” rhetoric (“Why do the police need guns?”).
  • DSA leader’s remarks about bombing LA and Miami are used to argue socialists are dangerous.
  • Deportation myth: Bongino claims June ICE arrests hit a record; he attributes earlier decreases to shutdown-related operational limits (overtime/travel/targeting funding).
  • Inflation/expert critique: he argues “experts” get predictions wrong and that elections—not technocrats—should govern.

0:02All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. You want to talk about a stacked news day. You got acting attorney general Todd Blanche up on the hill. Hopefully that goes smoothly. Of course, the Democrats will have their anticipated breakdown. You've got renewed hostilities over in Iran. You've got these Democrat socialists, fake socialists of America going out there, humiliating themselves. They're fake socialists. Listen to me, before we even start the show, this is like getting me going on the mask thing and it'll derail the whole freaking show, but this is super important.

0:39I did Hannity's show last night, did his radio show yesterday as well. Show him was nice enough to have me on both yesterday. And I got Vince coming up later. I'm going to do an interview with your favorite morning podcaster. Again, you're here every couple weeks, Vince Colonese. And this topic came up. Folks, this is horrendous for the country. I hate the use of full stop, but if there was ever a full stop, this is it. The fact that a bunch of America-hating communists who want to destroy our economy, our political system, your liberties and freedoms, is a freaking disaster of epic proportions.

1:17It's horrendous. But when you're in the content creation business, they really do make it easy to put a show together. they're just such fakes and phonies and frauds and they elicit such an emotional like rage response from liberty loving americans who are like correct you probably feel the same way i do like how can you be this stupid how can you be this stupid to try to reinsert for the umpteenth thousandth time communism in the united states where it's destroyed and eviscerated every single thing it's touched ever how can you be this freaking dumb these shows if you want a little inside baseball to put together an hour and 20 an hour and 30 hour and 40 minute show takes about four or five hours if you're doing it right and i think anyone in the business from ben shapiro to dana lash to steve crowder would tell you the same it takes a long time and that doesn't even count their work the production team's work when you're putting together a show in this election cycle with this crop of socialist fraud imbeciles who won't even live by the rules?

2:28Tax the rich. I don't want to pay taxes. Aren't you rich too? Yeah, I'm rich. So you want to tax the rich yet you are rich and you don't want to pay taxes. To put together a show takes half that time. It really does. It's a tragedy for the country, but it makes it unbelievably easy to produce content because all you've got to do is play their own words. I think we should defund the police. What do you want them to use, dipshits? Water pistols? What are you, stupid? You're going to walk in the middle of a gang shootout in inner city Chicago and go, Hold on, I got to juice up my mortar pistol. Anybody got a Deer Park?

3:06Got a lady coming up later in the show. I think we should have DEI in medical schools. That's a great freaking idea. My appendix burst. I'm going to die of an infection. Hold on, I need to interview the potential surgeon. Sir, what did you write on your DEI statement about your appreciation for various cultures and your hatred for Western civilization? Ma 'am, you've got about 30 minutes before you die of sepsis. I need to know. I need to know where you stand on DEI. Nobody's doing that, bro. Nobody's doing that shit. No one.

3:43They're Sinos. Sinos? What the hell is it? Socialists in name only. They're not really socialists. that's what I was telling Hannity last night none of these people are real socialists they all own private property they avoid paying taxes a lot of them are really stupid super rich

4:03he's like you want to get rich you know what a good you know what's a good idea go you did you were thinking he was thinking he's always trying to get me back on track Folks, we wouldn't be celebrating America 250 if it wasn't for a strong foundation set by the framers. Hamilton built America's financial foundation on the principle of sound, stable money, a principle later embodied by the gold standard. What's the foundation of your savings? Is it gold or something that can be shaken, disrupted, or devalued? Birch Gold Group, I've used it many times. The company I buy gold from has been helping Americans solidify their savings with gold for the past 15 years.

I do want to cover this quickly because I have a lot of direct, obvious working experience with acting attorney general, hopefully he's confirmed, soon to be attorney general, Todd Blanche, up on the Hill today in the confirmation hearing.

5:32Of course, the Democrats are just going to bring up all kinds of bullshit because they just don't like the results. Folks, I am never going to stop being a results guy. You want me to get into like, you know, the emotion? You can be emotional about issues, but I'm not going to be dissuaded from results by emotion. I'm never going to do that's what the left does. You know, coexist tolerance, except when it comes to like the Jews and Asians that you discriminate against in college applications, like they're full of shit. I'm not going to do that. I'm a results guy. And I'm seeing this now, too. Well, we've been seeing it for a while with the doomers and the grifters.

6:07But folks, it pains me to say this. and it's not you because I read the chat and I get your emails and your DMs and stuff. I talk to a lot of folks out there.

6:20The obsession with just instant gratification over long-term results is starting to filter into the mainstream of the party. And I think it's a mistake because the best results are the ones that are done correctly and take time. I want to show you what I mean. There's going to be pros and cons, people who like Todd Blanche for attorney general, people don't. I'm just going to tell you results-wise, I was there working with him when he was the DAG, the deputy attorney general. And honestly, the DAG runs most of the Justice Department. Not that the attorney general is an important position, clearly.

6:53But Todd ran the place for the first year I was there in the Trump administration with the Bureau. The results on the border, the historic crime drops, the public corruption cases, the Antifa case, the BLM case, the SPLC case, the Fulton County, Georgia ongoing case, the ongoing cases in the grand conspiracy, the reforms, all of the United States attorneys who he didn't think were constitutionalists, who they let go and pushed out the door, all of those reforms, all of the changes you're seeing on firearms regulations at ATF, he was the one who pushed through a lot of those. And I think he's the best choice for what it's worth.

7:32I do. And I'm just hoping they don't make a spectacle out of this thing today because the American people would love to hear what he has to say. Now, having said that, folks, I don't fall for propaganda. I'm sorry. I listen to it. I take it in. I digest it. I try to sift through it. I use it in the show, exposing it, the left-wing propaganda. And I show you, like, this is propaganda versus results. One of the things I've seen online, and I don't know if it's a paid campaign or not, but I want you to just focus on results for a second. I want to prove to you right now what you're hearing is bullshit, is you see a bunch of people out there going, like, the trump administration has given up on mass deportations of illegals ladies and gentlemen that is just completely totally inaccurate it's just not true like you can believe it if you choose to be upset i mean i can't tell you what to believe or not i'm just telling you believing in something not worth than believing him because it's not true there was a slight dip in the number of deportations that is now back up to record numbers it is not because of the administration, President Trump, Steve Miller, the attorney general, Tom Holman, the border czar, because they have any less desire to rid the country of people here illegally breaking the law, it had a lot to do with the Democrat-enforced government shutdown.

8:49But now the numbers are back to record numbers where they haven't been before. So again, you can say all you want if you want to destroy the Trump administration. Well, they've lost focus on mass deportation. It's just not true. We saw this when we were at the Bureau for the First Year. We'd see these things about you've been in all and you'd be like that's not i don't know what you're talking about that was the best year they've ever had like did you just make this up and a lot of people fell for it here's tom homan i mean does anyone you're going to trust on this issue no one knows the border better than him dispelling these myths that they've somehow lost focus on mass deportations it's just not true check this out well this change on vehicle stops lower the rate of deportation You know what?

9:29Let me address that for me. I'm sick and tired of reading about how the administration has lost their guts with, you know, mass deportations. Do you know, June, last month, ICE arrested more aliens than any month in the history of the agency. So, you know, people say ICE is not serious about their job. Last month, the most aliens arrested in the history of the agency, more than last year. more than when you had the FBI, ATF, DEA, War of a Trial, ICE all out there, ICE by themselves with their 287G partners had the most arrests in history you can see. Now were numbers down for a few months? Yeah.

10:09Why? Because the department was shut down right? Agents weren't getting overtime paid they weren't getting travel I mean the travel cards were maxed out so they couldn't travel operations the the targeting wasn't being funded like they should have been so the department was shut down so of course your numbers are shut down again i just it's only because i really do to the men out there the man panions the women out there love you all i really just appreciate the truth what do i say all the time don't fall in love with people or politicians fall in love results. Tom Homan has never been known as a bullshitter.

10:50When there's an issue they have to fix, he goes out and fixes it. If he has to work with a Democrat mayor to get a result, he's going to do it, even though it may not be the popular thing. But he's not going to lie to you about stuff. Folks, I just bring this up not to get into a big, prolonged discussion about deportations today at the beginning of the show. It is super important. But I bring it up to show you that when you start sifting through the propaganda and bullshit a lot of paid campaigns to doom and gloom the administration so you don't show up and vote some of it candidly is just you know disgruntled people who just don't like the trump administration maybe they lost in a primary to him or whatever it's just bullshit go look up what tom homan just said they didn't lose interest in mass deportations.

11:41I've worked personally with both of these guys. Not as much with Tom. I typically dealt with my DHS counterparts and Steve Miller on this. If you think Steve Miller and the Trump administration have lost focus on mass deportations, I'm sorry, like, please put the crack pipe down. Like, put it down. Crack is whack. It's not good for you. It's really bad. You could die really ugly deaths. Just don't do it. Where's the Michael Jordan? Freaking fly. Imagine these flies follow us from the old house. Remember that? Where's the Michael Jordan? Stop. Stop it. Get some help. Please, just get some help.

12:17It's just not true. Why waste your time burning any energy on something that's total bullshit? Okay, moving on. Because the fight is real. The fight against the Democrat, Socialist, Communist, Tyrant, Oligarchs, you know, starvation specialists, mass murderers, because that's what communists are, is real. And it's here now. So if we had, think about it, right? If we have 10 units of energy to burn in a day, whatever, your soul has 10 units of energy. Do you want to waste a single unit of energy on a talking point against the Trump administration? It turns out it's not even real. Like, why would you do that?

12:54This came up the other day. Something happened. And I was chatting with Jasmine and Paula. And we were like, you know, I got all this energy to burn. Do we really want to waste any time on this? And everyone unanimously was like, no, we don't. Because it's just stupid. like let's just move that's this thing mike johnson who's the speaker of the house mike johnson has been pretty clear about the threat we're dealing listen man again i know people have beefs with politics and that's cool like that's what we do it's a republic we argue about politicians all the time but there's no doubt that members of congress the good ones right now on the republican side understand the gravity of the threat that's why i titled this show today they're a danger to you and your family it's because of this clip we need more of this the republican party out there the leadership the people with microphones even if you're not in leadership you're like a john kennedy on the senate side who does speak pretty clearly but is on fox all the time we need to speak clearly about this threat from these commies there's no more dicking around beating around the bush we need to speak clearly just like he did yesterday here's where I got the title for today's show because he's 100 % correct.

14:03Check this out. To remove the carceral state, they said. No prisons. They don't want to fund the police. This is not a game. Everybody needs to understand these crazy little mini mom Donnies who are popping up all around the country. They were a danger to you and your family. This is not a game. If they promise you free stuff, there is far more beneath those promises that even some of these people do not understand themselves. And so we are here as the Republican Party to stand on the founding principles of the greatest nation in the history of the world. It is our duty to do that. Folks, again, I appreciate results.

14:37Don't fall in love with politicians. However, I respect the fact that he's willing to speak so clearly on this issue. And I just hope more Republicans with microphones out who are out there are speaking in these exact same terms. You don't need PhD, you know, fake experts on political science to tell you that communism leads to death, destruction, murder, starvation and economic depravity. You don't need all you all you need is freaking chat GPT or grok. You can look it up. I said this last night talking to Sean on the on the Fox program last night. If you want to know what living under socialism looks like, do yourself if you're really curious, you should be correct.

15:21If you're a Democrat who's not a progressive liberal, but a mainstream Democrat, but it's getting ready to fall for this socialist bullshit. There's an example out there of what it looks like to live under the system. You may fall for socialism. You can go ask any Cuban refugee in South Florida. Just go find someone. Friend them on Facebook or whatever. DM them on X. Hey, I saw your avatar. It says you're a refugee from communist. What was that like? You could ask him. The guy who used to cut my hair, Robert, is a refugee from Cuba. You got to hear his stories. They're horrendous. I got to tell you, they were like depressing.

15:58Sometimes I'd be getting a haircut. I'd be in a good mood. I'd leave in a bad mood. These stories are depressing. You could ask them. It's called homework. If you want to know what it's like to, you know, build a coffee table out of like a piece of tree wood, you would probably ask a carpenter, correct? Like, what is that like? you wouldn't ask the PhD in woodworking who's never built a table in their lives but you won't do that reason I bring this up is this is how crazy these freaking people are and why we need more Mike Johnsons with leadership positions and microphones to speak out about the deadly threat from this pernicious cancerous infection in our body politic called socialism folks listen to me brothers and sisters these people are not effing around man they are not kidding however crazy you think they are they're crazier i told you it's the easiest show in the world to put together because all you have to do is play their words here's this little socialist group here they're talking on this like zoom session or whatever and listen to me if you're a cuban refugee a refugee from a former Soviet Republic living in the United States under communism.

17:13If you have escaped the hell, depravity and starvation of communism and living here, you are their worst enemy. What? No, no, I'm serious. Listen to this guy in this clip. Talk about how we should bomb LA and Miami because there are Iranian and Cuban refugees there speaking out against socialism. Again, And brothers and sisters, I'm just playing their own words. They're a danger to you and their family. And they are who you think they are. At the Dennis Green. Check this out. Seeing the Iranian diaspora just cheer on their country, getting just bombed. There has to be an Olympic competition between the worst gusanos in the world.

18:04And on the podium, you know, competing for gold, you have the Cubans on the one side and the Iranians on the other. You know, just just bomb parts of large swaths of L.A. and Miami. We'd be a better planet for it. All I'm doing is playing their words. Oh, clearly they're kidding. Are they? are they? It's not like the Cuban and Iranian regimes in Cuba and Iran have not done that exact thing, killed and destroyed their own people. We think there's not an example for this. Folks, these people are a danger to you and your family. This is not a political race to sit out. the days of the Bill Clinton Democrat Party you know whatever Tip O 'Neill sitting down with Reagan with coffee whatever I'm not even sure that halcyon days were ever there I'm telling you like those days are over I warned you years ago when people would tell me when AOC first popped on the screen we would get this all the gig was here so it was Justin people would be in the chat be like oh man just ignore her Streisand effect you're giving her too much attention I said no we're not this woman for as crazy as she is and she's really not that bright is very charismatic and understands social media she understands messaging vehicles and this socialism message has an appeal to people it just does folks sharing and free stuff and everybody's going to be rich and get free health care why would that not appeal to you why would that not we're the party that has to give people the hard answers.

19:47We're the party. We have to do the education portion of this. And nobody wants, you know, when I first started this show, I said, we should do like a, you know, Bongino Report University on the weekends. And we should do like a show on, you know, the fallacies of gun control and just keep them as like staple evergreen material. And the company I was working with at the time said, I love the idea, but people hate the idea of like a university. They don't want to feel like they're in like a professor's class. I'm like, well, I'm not a professor, but I got the point. Folks, this is the difficult part.

20:21You don't educate your friends and neighbors about the danger ahead. It's going to be knocking at your door. Famous last words are, that can't happen here. No, it can. It can. I'm going to take a quick break, but I think about, I'm going to show you, I got another one coming. You think the election fraud stuff? This goes to show you what like a lack of detachment to reality looks like. But I just want to bring this up because if you go back, I'm obsessed with history. Go back and look at, you know, Fort Sumter and the Civil War. How people were convinced, like, even after Fort Sumter, like, this would eventually simmer down and wouldn't, you know, result in a full-blown war.

20:59Some of the initial Civil War battles, people were showing up to watch. Like, it was going to be like a reenactment. And then they were fleeing for their lives. Like, holy Moses. Like, this is a real fight. people are dying. That's how this stuff happens. It's like bankruptcy, as the old adage goes. Happens gradually, and then all of a sudden. That's how countries collapse. We're not letting that happen, not on this show. Quick break and we'll get back to this. Wait till I show you this next clip, too. Wait, does Vince call MSNOW Ms. Now? I think we're going to... Vince called it Ms. Now. I like Ms.

21:37Now better. We're going to stick with Ms. Now. Hey, let me tell you something. When you sign your insurance policy for some brokers, that's the finish line.

Let me tell you about it. I trust it. I love it. Burna's less-than-lethal launcher fires powerful kinetic and chemical rounds that can incapacitate the attacker for up to 30 minutes. Could give you time to get away and to call for help.

23:15Burna's new compact launcher is about the size of a smartphone. It's really easy to carry, incredibly easy to use, and there's no background check required. The guys have them too. The Burna CL fires it up to 400 feet per second with serious stopping power, which is designed to help with de-escalation, not devastation. Burna is proudly American, assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. More than 750 ,000 Burna launchers are already in the hands of law enforcement and responsible citizens who want protection without tragedy. If you believe in being prepared and you also believe in restraint, Burna, B-Y-R-N-A, is for you.

23:50Go check it out. Go to Burna.com and learn more. That's Burna.com and learn more. Thanks, Burna. Folks, this is what I'm talking about. These people are who... Where can I buy the t-shirts Dan wears? ElBarone105 in the chat. Bongino.com slash... No, store.Bongino.com. Store.Bongino.com. Yeah. If you want it. Up to you. But store.Bongino.com. Thank you, ElBarone. ElBarone. Sounds like a wrestling name from... ElBarone. Right, doesn't it? The old, like, when you put the masks on and stuff. They are who you think they are. Folks, be proud. What do I do on this show? Beginning of the show, I hear a rumor out there.

24:34President Trump and his team aren't focused on mass deportations. I go out, find a stat, find a credible source, Tom Homan. He's the freaking Bordazar, he knows. We debunk it. Everybody moves on. We don't stew on it. The left, it doesn't matter how many times you tell the socialists and the socialists in the media that what they're saying is stupid and inaccurate. It doesn't matter if you present to them ChatGPT, OpenAI, Grock, Encyclopedia Britannica. the government's own numbers. They're just stupid because stupid is a choice and they want to be stupid. Here's what I mean. Ms. Now, MSNOW, has already decided that President Trump's primetime speech tomorrow, in case you hadn't heard, he's going to give one, I believe from the Oval or at least from the White House.

25:19And one of the components of it is supposed to be some new information about the 2020 election, which you and I have covered endlessly and all the suspicious nonsense that went on there, okay? Ladies and gentlemen, what day is it, Justin? today yeah no what day of the week what what wednesday the speech is tomorrow what's the day after wednesday so thursday comes after wednesday correct the majority yeah he's right well you'll see where he's going with that justin just said pay attention the majority of thursdays do come after wednesdays hold that thought and you'll see where he gets this in a couple minutes the speech hasn't happened yet.

25:59MSNOW and Stephanie Ruhle, they have not heard it. They've heard none of the information, but they're already convinced that these are baseless charges. And they haven't seen it yet. This is what stupidity looks like when it's a choice. Check this out. It appears the president is entering a new chapter in his effort to question the results of the 2020 election and potentially so doubt in the upcoming midterms. A new White House task force is expected to begin releasing documents on alleged and so far absolutely baseless evidence of election irregularities in the coming weeks. That is according to two officials with knowledge of the matter.

26:35An acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, will be a part of it. I'm going to guess front and center. Why not just wait? You know, I'm not playing dumb here like the left. I'm not, I promise. why not just wait why not just wait till after thursday because as justin said the majority of thursdays come after i'm saying you know what we may have to play this clip next can you pull that one okay that's really funny justin i sometimes they say stuff it's not funny and i ignore it they don't i'll be like whatever that's funny thursday hasn't happened if you were a journalist with a shred of credibility.

27:21How can you criticize a report as baseless that you haven't seen? Folks, am I... Andy, is this like... You haven't seen it. You haven't seen it. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go to the Martin County Republican Club and I'm going to try this theory out. There's going to be a keynote speaker, whatever. It'd be Joey Bag of Donuts or whatever. And before the speech happens, I'm going to tap the guy next to me. Joey, that speech was terrible. The guy's going to go, bro, his speech hasn't happened yet. It was bad. He could have looked at you like you're a dipshit because it hasn't happened yet.

28:00But it's already baseless. Don't be these morons. The Trump team has lost focus on mass deportations. Actually, they're at record numbers. Why did you say that? I don't know. I heard it somehow. Well, it's our obligation to kind of look it up, right? I'm not doing that. I swear I'd rather have no audience than be these bullshitters in the griftosphere podcastistan. I'll show you evidence. It's coming tomorrow, maybe the next day. Sign up for my super chat. All these suckers do that. Pretty soon, like, demand information. Here's what I mean. This clip is for later in the show, but this is what it looks like when you say stupid things like the majority of Thursdays come after Wednesdays.

Read the full transcript

28:45It's kind of like saying, you know, the majority of births happen with biological. The majority? You mean like 100 % throughout human history? Like that? You might as well throw plurality in there next. Check this out. The vast majority of pregnancies are in women. And I have absolutely no problem with using the word pregnant women. I use it myself. Has a non-biological woman ever had a baby? a transgender person can that's not a biological woman has a non-biological woman ever had a baby i would reiterate it's ridiculous i give up show's over i can't i can't take the freaking stupid folks this is when i say stupid syac in the chat stupid is a freaking choice you know vince is right chatting with vince the interviewer he's like you know why this content is is is so good so terrible for the country so good for the u.s because it enrages people because it's so freaking dumb i'm sitting here doing a pre-show and i'm talking to jasmine i'm like you've got to realize when you say dumb shit like this that the actual majority like 95 of america probably more knows your mutley's in the chat mutley's mixed with the sciacs right this is like they're laughing at you you're they think you're a tool.

30:11Why do you keep going down this road? Why? How many times are you going to make the same mistake with the same stupid shit? Defund the police. Nobody believes that's effective at doing anything except increasing the crime rate and getting your ass killed. Open borders. Nobody sane believes that. Men can get pregnant. They cannot. There is no scenario. I am a man. I cannot get pregnant. There is no scenario by which that is ever going to happen in a quadrillion lifetimes. It's not going to happen, bro. Why do you keep saying stupid shit? Because stupid's a choice. Don't ever make that choice on our side.

30:54Because this is what a movement looks like. This is why, despite the Democrats having the media, academia, the sports world, even some components of the country music world, thought figures and influencers all on their side we still the republican party in the maga movement continue to perform well in elections everybody's against us it's like that giphy with there was a game of thrones guy with the sword and all the horses i think it's game of thrones and the char the horses charge that that's you and yet we're still we're still holding up and winning elections because most people see through this bullshit why they bring up the defund the police stuff because out there in Michigan, we got to play the opponent next.

31:40I don't know what they did here, okay? I'm being straight with you, man. I don't know what they did here. First, let's play. So the Michigan-United States Senate race is critical. The Republicans stand a really good chance of taking this seat in Michigan, and we're going to need it to hold the Senate. We're going to need it. The Democrat slate of candidates, all of these goofball socialists, are like, it's like the Jim Carrey, but they're like dumb and dumber, and dumb and dumber and dumberer. They're really that stupid? Here's socialist, communist, Abdul El-Sayed, who's leading in the polls. This guy could be the Democrat nominee.

32:15This is from a couple years ago. Talking openly about, you know, why do the police need guns? I don't know, to shoot back at the bad guys, you dopey... I'm just playing his words. Just his words. Check this out. The police really need to use guns. Do we need as much of a police force? And so if we ask ourselves about how we spend money in the public, where that money goes, where it comes from, we need to make a lot better decisions about investing in the things that root out poverty rather than investing in policing poverty. This is not funny. I just you're going to vote for this idiot. This guy is going to be your center.

33:07Why do the police need guns? I don't know. So they don't get dead. Is that ever? Why do they need body armor? Because bad guys shoot at them. In liberal states, you guys run more than any other place. How do you keep falling for this? Because stupid is a choice and you choose to be stupid. What the hell do you want them to use foul language? this is that's real we didn't miss out ai all right i'm about to be surprised on my own show let's play the original first so you want to see why this crazy abdul al-sayed could be a u.s senator from michigan this defund the police why do the police need guns absolute imbecile stupid's a choice don't take it here's his opponent this is not this is real i brought this played last night on hannity show so you know you're sitting in uh in the van getting ready for the they pull a van up my house right and you're getting ready for the hit and i'm watching this hit and i swear i thought it was a parody i didn't think this is real this is real this is his opponent abdul al-sayed running for the u.s senate seat in michigan hayley stevens given one of the most cringe like i don't know she's trying to be like a fake newt rockney on this i this is like the dumbest thing i've ever heard this is like the little league coach parody this is the original this actually happened check this out i'm gonna be working on our behalf i am gonna be telling the stories on our behalf and you better believe i'm gonna be doing it with a little bit of joy a little bit of enthusiasm a little bit of energy and a little bit of stick it to them because that's the Michigan way.

34:56I, I, I, I, you know, Andy's like really creative with the rest of the crew here. I, I didn't, I didn't know. I didn't. What is that? Is this like, uh, you know, the day watching it.

35:12I have not seen this, but I said to the guys, I have to fire everyone. If you can't do something, I didn't even expect them to do it. They literally did this in like five minutes. I mean, I, that was the actual time window. You know, I hate that word. I said, guys, you got to put something. Justin's like, I got an idea. He's like, do you want me to show you? No, no, no. I said, just don't get me fired or anything. You're fired. It's your own company. I said, just, so I have not seen any of this, but they decided like, this is a very motivational speech, Haley Stevens, and that we all should, because we all need a little motivation.

35:46So let's see what they got. Check this out.

35:57No you didn't. No you didn't. Yes you did. You did. Yes you did. No one will watch 300 the same way again. I am going to be working on our behalf. I am going to be telling the stories on our behalf. And you better believe I'm going to be doing it with a little bit of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, and a little bit of stick it to them. because that's the Michigan way.

36:34I'm snorting. Don't snort when you laugh.

36:41Dude, that is epic. Now, don't want to watch this. There you go. Over. Show's over. Sorry, folks. We had one more sponsor, American. Sorry, guys. We're going to have to refund your money. No, that's a monthly's in the chat right there. That was great. Nice work. They put that together in five minutes. These guys are super creative. Good job, Justin. Well done. No one will ever watch 300 again. I'm sorry. We're like ruining the whole movie for now. That's the thing. Now you see why defund the police, terror group supporting Abdul El-Sayed. Now you see why this guy's leaving. You're running against that?

37:22Oh, my gosh. That was way too funny for this. You can't be doing stuff like that because then I can't get my head up. It takes me a couple minutes once I laugh that hard. And you know, I woke up this morning. I was having like some chest pains and stuff. Not like that. Like I'm going to have a heart attack. But now I may. I may just drop dead on the show. Call 911 if I do. Folks, these people are crazy. They are freaking lunatics. They are so unrelatable, cringy and uncomfortable. Like criticize Donald Trump all you want. That's your right. It's a republic. You get the point. I've said it a thousand times.

37:56However, there's no more relatable guy than Donald Trump. We played that clip the other day. The guys put together Donald Trump and the McDonald's like serving fries. Nobody can pull that off. Nobody can pull that off without some idiot trying to make you look dumb about it. Except Trump because he's just the most relatable. It's ironic. Like he's a successful billionaire with all these different real estate ventures and all these projects he's done throughout his life. You would think like he would be the most remote, unapproachable, cringy guy to deal with because he doesn't. And he's the exact opposite.

38:32The Democrats, you know, the pretend party of the working man, they're the ones that go out there and do this stuff. Here's another one in case you think like I'm crazy. This is the easiest content in the world to produce because you just have to play their own words. Here's Rep Nidia Velasquez. Now that we've had under Todd Blanch and Homan and DHS, now that we've had this incredible year of deportations and zero illegal migrants admitted into the country multiple months in a row, what do they want to do? They want to abolish ICE and get rid of them. What's your solution? and just let anybody who wants to come here ever?

39:11The answer is, yeah. It's just their own words. Check this out. You cannot put a bandage on a system that is fundamentally broken. We must abolish ICE, period. My 1966 in the chat says, every Republican should be running ads just of Democrats in their own words. Amen sister or brother I don't know I'm just telling you like All you've got to do is play their own words They are freaking crazy people Man They're crazy people They tell you They tell you Remember Dennis Green They are who we thought they were They are who you thought they were I love this one And by love it I mean hate it here's the Democrat Socialists of America.

40:07This guy's like the co-chair or one of their leaders or something. They say this stuff openly. Watch him invert history. This show is not a history lesson. I love history. The United States Senate was a compromise made during the Constitutional Convention. The Senate compromise was so that big, densely populated, in many cases, northern states would not be able to impart their will upon less densely populated other states. So what they did was they ensured in the legislative branch of our government that one of the components of the legislative branch, the House of Representatives, was allocated on population because there are more people in populated states.

40:48Fair enough. However, some of the smaller states said, well, we can't have the Senate based on population, too, because then our votes aren't going to matter. What are you going to get? Seven senators? They said, no, every single state is going to get two U.S. centers. Anyone who's cracked open a book, read online, read an article, watched a Netflix documentary about the Constitution. This is not hard stuff. Knows that. Watch this socialist guy entirely and completely invert history and make it out like the Senate was founded for the opposite reason. so that the elites could press down upon others the tyranny of the majority.

41:32It's the exact opposite. These people just lie to you. Check this out. I just don't see the point of the Senate. Historically, it was meant to serve very wealthy people who owned a lot of land. And that's still a system that we have today. And it's something we would change. We would expand what the House of Representatives does and make it more actually representative of people who live in this country. So would you like to abolish the Senate? That's part of our platform. And we don't think that's extreme. We think it's a change that would help make this country more democratic. Thank you. I'm reading the chat from the history bust.

42:11Yes, Dan, you're correct. I know I'm correct. because you can go back and just, folks, go to any streaming platform, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV. They have tons of documentaries. To liberal dipshits out there who can or won't read, you can just watch like a documentary. Just go to like, put in Constitution, Washington founding, Fathers. Just watch any show for maybe a half an hour and you'll see everything you believe is bullshit. The Electoral College was not about slavery. The Senate was not about wealthy people imparting their will on us. It was the exact opposite. It was the exact opposite.

42:54That was the compromise. You can look this up, you know. You can read some of the notes people took there, like Madison and others. You can read the Federalist Papers by Hamilton and Madison. You can read this. You just choose not to because stupid is a choice. And when you listen to them talk and you let them talk, these dumbass socialists who want to take your money, want to put your kids in shit schools, want to give you government-run crap healthcare. When you listen to them, you realize everything they say is an inversion of the truth. And then when you let them talk, ironically, ironically, they always expose their own hypocrisy the second the carbon dioxide starts leaving their lungs.

43:34Here's this same cat. He wants to abolish the Supreme Court too. No Senate, no Supreme Court, no nothing. I guess it's going to be the tyranny of the majority. and listen to the reason. I'm sorry if you saw Hannity last night. I brought this up. You'll hear it again, but this is super important. I brought this up last night. The reason he wants to abolish the Supreme Court is, man, we can't have a bunch of like elites, government elites, you know, ruling over the rest of us. Are you freaking stupid, bro? That's the whole essence of communism and socialism. Did you miss that? do you realize you just said this out loud?

44:15He did. In their own words. Check this out. The Supreme Court was mentioned as something that we would want more Democratic oversight over, and that is important. Right now, whether it's the Democratic Party in power or Republican Party in power, a president can just choose who to appoint that can be there for decades and help make decisions about how our government works. We think that that's not really very democratic that just the whims of nine people who are, you know, they're obviously smart people, but they have their own interests. And there's a kind of elitism that comes from just the idea that very, especially people who have a certain education or life experience should be making decisions for everybody.

45:09And that tends to be pretty elitist, you know, people who go to certain elite colleges or law schools or whatever, and then are seen as experts, but they might not have the same interests, you know, like class interests of everybody. You realize you just expose the entire weakness of socialism in your own plea for socialism. I don't think he knows that what's his name a sheik sadiki because this guy's either really stupid i mean it like i think this guy's just really dumb because a better messenger for the the travesty of socialism because there are some people who can sell this they can sell like what they say ice to an eskimo some socialisms some socialists are just really good at this i'm telling you like aoc does really good like tiktok types if she's got like 10 million followers or something you don't get that by screwing around.

46:01She's dumb, but she's at least a better marketer for the product. This guy's just an idiot. Socialism is wonderful. We want to abolish the Supreme Court because it'd be really horrible if a group of experts ruled over. That's the whole basis for socialism. And when you rely on experts, ironically, and not a representative democracy where people can vote vote in and vote out people who make poor decisions. In other words, the power is delegated to we, the people, and the consent of the governed. When you don't have that, you have your product, socialism. When you have experts ruling over people, what you have is what Hayek called the knowledge problem, where a small group of people pretend to know what your housing needs are, health care needs, job needs.

46:50They don't know you. Experts screw stuff up all the time. Cue up Kevin Hassett. Kevin, this is one of Trump's economic advisors. The inflation numbers came in pretty good yesterday. It's down a lot. You know, I thought the experts told us it was going to be a horror show. Inflation, experts, right? It's not us that believe in rule by experts, Republicans, conservatives, MAGA folks. It's you, progressives, liberals, commies, and socialists. That's your thing. That's your thing. Remember Tommy boy? that's your thing some of you will get that that was tommy boy right the chris farrell was one of them i'm always terrible that's your thing here's kevin has it on the inflation numbers he's like yeah yeah 67 of 67 experts screwed it up this is why we don't do rule by experts we do rule by elections which should be free and fair thank you check this out sure energy prices have come down a lot.

47:48But everything else is going down, too. And I think that's why, if you look at Bloomberg, they surveyed 67 economists and 67 economists got it wrong because they didn't understand that it wasn't just about energy. It's about all these other things that President Trump is doing to cut costs. Why did they get it wrong, folks? Why? Folks in the chat, help me out. Here's a little quick educational tip. Experts, no matter how smart, are limited in their scope and knowledge. Pick the greatest brain surgeon in the world. I'll give you one of them. Ben Carson. We all know his name. Dr. Ben Carson. Dr.

48:25Ben Carson has got magic hands. He's been able to do things surgically no human being on planet Earth has been able to do. Because he's a genius. Would you ask Ben Carson to change the oil in your car? That's a stupid question. No, it isn't. You would not. because his expertise in the field, although unmatched, brilliant, and a good and decent human being, he's not a mechanic. So what does an expert in government, economic, statistical manipulation of economic data know about your Jiffy Lube business? The answer is Jack and shit and Jack left town. They don't know anything. That's why they constantly screw stuff up.

49:09That's why we don't rely on experts to lord over us like the socialist one. We rely on people we vote in and if they don't do what we as a collective population vote for, we vote them out. Happens every two and four years. In case you think I'm making this up about the inflation number, because I believe in data, when they popped the last quarter a little bit, we were pretty candid about it. Now they're down. Everyone all of a sudden on the left is shut up. Inflation's out of control. Now we get numbers that are down. No one wants to say anything. When they go up, we talk about it. Go back and look at the show.

49:50Because we're honest. We're not morons like these people on the left. The inflation number was down dramatically. That's why it was negative. Down. Okay, for the liberals listening. But it was more negative, which is a good thing. You want it to be down a lot. Here's CNBC. Again, no right-wing network. Like, hey, man, these numbers were actually pretty good. Where's the left on this? Where are the experts now? Check this out. This is our June release of the Consumer Price Index, expecting a headline number to be negative, negative one-tenth of a percent. This is four times more negative, minus four-tenths of a percent.

50:23That would be the biggest negative drop that we've seen since 420, since basically COVID timing, which really affected, of course, all of the inflation data points. So that goes back to basically six-year low. And if we look at the CPI month over month on the core, also under expectations comes in at goose egg. Zero. Zero will be the smallest amount. It would equal Jan of 21 to find a smaller change or a more negative change or minus one tenth of a percent. That's May of 2020. Man, how did 67 of 67 quote experts get it all wrong? because they don't know anything about your life, your buying decisions, your healthcare, your education, your economic needs, your housing needs, your rental needs, your property needs, your transportation needs.

51:15They don't know. They've never spoken to you. They will never know. That's the reason we insulate ourselves from the tyranny of, quote, experts. And we vote for representatives. It does not mean these representatives are always going to be smart either. Sometimes you get people up there, especially on the Democrat side, but on the Republican side too, that are dumber than a box of rocks. And you'd actually take an expert who's probably not that smart about your life, but is smarter than these idiots. This was Capitol Hill the other day. Here's this lady, what's her name? Monaco, whatever. Who the hell?

51:50Dominici, I don't know. There's this congresswoman up on the Hill talking about DEI and medical schools. Folks, this doesn't take an expert to figure this out, okay? DEI and medical schools is a joke, but it's a tragic one. You go in there and need emergency surgery for something. You are not asking the doctor like, hey, man, give me your take on like critical race theory. Just save the person's life. If there was ever an example outside of like airline pilots of a needed meritocracy, absent any confounding variables, it is this. in medicine, you know, air flight, people driving you in the car, you know, someone who can't drive, you can be, oh, well, they fit the DEI criteria.

52:33Listen to this exchange up on Capitol Hill. Nobody does this in their personal lives. Nobody asks for a DEI doctor over a competent one. Zero people do this except up on Capitol Hill. Check this out. As we discuss the future of the medical workforce, we should acknowledge that diversity, equity, and inclusion in medical schools. That's not something to be criticized or blamed. A coursework that focuses on the social determinants of health, including patients' racial backgrounds and socioeconomic status. Okay, nobody's doing this, Susan Bonamici. Nobody's doing this. That sounds Italian. Is it a maiden name or marriage?

53:13I don't know, but stop with it. Just like, don't pollute the Italians with this stupidity. Nobody's doing that. the difference with the tyranny of experts in a communist system is you can't escape them. They steal power and they never give it up and there were no elections. What do you think? Putin was elected? Putin was selected. You think Kim Jong-un and Kim Jong-il and all the... You think any of them were elected? The difference is we can listen to Bonamichi and go, well, that's kind of dumb. And stupid people will vote for and others won't. This is what a good one looks like, though. Brandon Gill is one of my favorites up on the Hill.

53:56Again, don't fall in love with people, fall in love with results. However, this guy brings the results all the time. Ayanna Pressley, clearly one of the dumbest people up on Capitol Hill. She wants to push this Equal Rights Amendment bill. So Brandon Gill asks her a really simple question. I got to tell you, this may be one of the greatest self-SELF, not C-E-L-L, self-owns I've seen up on Capitol Hill in a long time. Brandon Gill asked a really simple question about the equal rights amendment she wants. Sounds great. Equal rights. I mean, he wants equal rights. Equal rights like for women? Well, I got a question about that.

54:32This is great. Check this out. And that is why I've introduced legislation to add the equal rights amendment as the 28th amendment, enshrining it as the law of this land. I'd be happy to look at your equal rights amendment and read through it. I guess my biggest question was, does it define what a woman is? We'll take a look at it. I just was hoping for some analytical clarity, but thank you. We'll take a look at it. Yeah. They're just got this guy. This guy just keeps bringing. The guy just keeps throwing touchdowns, man. The guy just keeps throwing. He's like a gunslinger. A guy's like Brett Favre in his prime, just like launching it at like 400 miles an hour.

55:07How did those receivers on the Packers, their hands even stay? He's just a gunslinger up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll take a look at it. Does it define what a woman is? Matt Lee's in the chat. No, I didn't notice she says nothing because she realizes she's been boxed into a corner. Just like the dude we played before thinks the majority of women give it. The majority? What are you talking about, bro? Is there a single example? He's in a chat. I have to say it that weird way because I have the whole time and I've just gotten used to it. Folks, these people don't know anything. Be proud of yourself.

55:45Be proud of yourself. We even fight against people in our own party who are doomers and grifters when they put out bullshit stuff that's not really. Administration's not doing mass deportation. No, the left does none of this. They accept stupid as a choice. Men can get pregnant. Police don't need guns. We don't need a border wall. Abolish ICE. They accept the stupid in their movement. There is no organized effort to stop the stupid. They don't know anything. Even the people they love, like they're, you know, liberal entertainment folks. I hate to play clips of Bill Maher two days in a row, but this is just, forget Bill Maher for a second.

56:18Here he's going on a back and forth with Howie Mandel, who I hate to throw Guy under the bus. Actually, we do. It's kind of part of the show because I throw myself under the bus. I will in a minute. If you're not, Andy, what'd I tell you in the job interview? If you don't have a sense of humor, like don't work here. I said, I'm sorry. Like you're part, did I not say that? I was like, man, you're part of the show. Me too. I'm going to make fun of myself in a second. I promise. However, Guy plays this clip. There's Josh. josh i told you that too right i'm like so here's key walking in the studio right now he plays this clip and he says to me i kid you not he's like just so you know um this is uh a guy howie mandel and it's a couple years old and everyone all of us look at the same time we're like bro you don't know who howie mandel is i i didn't i'm making fun of myself because i didn't know Key and Peele, right?

57:10And so I'm making, this is true. So I'm not, I'm just saying everyone was like shocked. You don't have to like him. He's been around forever. So Guy had no idea who he was, which makes this clip even funnier. Here's Bill Maher. Like, hey man, you think like cops are mowing down unarmed black men? Like, give me a number. Like how many shootings happened? Oh, I don't know. So then why'd you say it? Ladies and gentlemen, stupid is a choice. Don't take the fork in the stupid road down the stupid path. Check this out. How many people do you think the police shoot a year? I don't know. See? So you're talking out of your ass.

57:42Well, tell me. A thousand. They shoot about a thousand people a year. Okay. And? How many of that are white people? Tell me. So, again, we're having this discussion, but you're so sure of yourself, you don't even know the stats. But why does that stat affect me? Because you're talking about how much you have to worry. What's even more hilarious is Guy called his lovely wife, Kim, for reinforcement and she was like how the hell do you not know who that guy is he doesn't even know man i'm telling you man if you're black you better be careful cops are mowing people down left and right shit i'd be scared too andy right what does he got a white hat on andy you know cops are mowing down people with red bills and white hats andy be like i'm taking that hat on man there's a real there's no thread you just made that up you just made that i'm not telling you it's not a history of racism is out of history of Jim Crow and discrimination I'm not telling you do stupid stuff in a traffic stop I'm not telling you I'm just telling you the guy doesn't know anything the dude doesn't know anything but he's making a declarative statement about what he doesn't know I got to throw myself under the bus a little bit this is like but I've told you often that one of the uh I've seen this clip so often that the names of annoying people finally found one of the clips what the reason this comes up is whenever we say like liberal karens i always do we not jasmine we'll get an email from some woman named karen who will be like well my name's karen i get it we're not talking about you we're talking about it's just like smile a little bit here to the karens out there in the world who are good decent people are not liberal karens i'm with you whenever you put a list of the most annoying people on planet earth with men the name that always creeps up there is dan i'm throwing myself under the bus even worse with this clip my middle name is john see where john i got two on the list so here's dan throwing himself under the bus names you are the most annoying this is voted on by 10 000 people these are the male names that's a lot the most annoying for people that they knew i hope not in the bun Daniel number five you're very annoying according to 10 000 people Robert old annoying robber yes everyone's voting you annoying robert because he's old no he's just annoying it's getting old getting a little old robert being so annoying chad no no no no list mark no mark sounds annoying though chris chris no chris is not annoying paul no thomas thomas yes tommy boy yeah very annoying anyone named thomas very annoying i've had that experience myself marty no but another m the most common michael michael yes number two well that's most annoying man what do you think number one is and you haven't guessed it.

1:00:23Marcus. Get ready. Who is the most annoying person in your life? John, number one. This is true. One third of people who voted out of 10 ,000, one third of the people said that a friend of their name, John, is the most annoying person. So there you go. He's John. To all the Karens out there, we love you. I'm talking about liberal Karens. I actually have you beat. I have two names on the most annoying list. Remember that guy, the comedian we use, and the New York guy in a Boston deli? He goes, how you doing? He does it. How you doing? How you doing? I got two of them. I got two names on there. So there you go.

1:00:52I'm throwing myself. If there was a bus to throw out, I'm under it there too.

1:00:59There's the bus. I feel it. And the bus and the wheels go round and round. All right. Because I bring this up. I just want to put this playbook thing up there. I just want to show you too. Don't fall for stupid stuff. Okay. Stupid is a choice. This thing going on in Iran is very serious. But it's just like freaking bananas how everything Trump does. They'll always take the opposite position. Trump decides to bomb Iran again. They're like, Trump's backtracking again on his plan. You can never win with these guys. Trump negotiates. Oh, he's chickening out. Trump bombs him. Guy's a war bonger. Don't be.

1:01:35I don't even place to talk about around. Place to talk about stupid people. Don't be stupid. Don't be stupid. It's a choice. You don't have to take it. Okay, let's pick our comment of the day. Then we'll do our spot. And then we're going to get to a terrific interview with our good friend Vince Colonese, the king of Morning Podcast. You know the rules. The Bongino 1776 Club.

1:02:12You're in the weekly drawing. One of you wins a cash prize every week. See the official rules at Bongino.com slash 1776. And the comment of the day today is, why do they always have that look? Yes, I don't know. Every single time, right? You know the they we're talking about here. Why do they always have that look? Every time Listen, I actually like nose rings I don't really But with the green hair Do you have to mix and match with everything? Pick one I had to stick with the tattoo I got tattoos everywhere I do Some people I think they look good I do, maybe it's just a thing Personally, it doesn't work for me But I do think And this may be a controversial Dan Bongino theorem of modern life My take I don't know how you guys feel about this is you generally have to pick one.

1:03:06If you're going to do like green hair, you got to stick with like the green hair alone. If you're going to mix and match the green hair, the tattoos all over, and then the nose ring, I'm just saying like, whatever, do your thing. You're probably going to have some HR issues in your first job interview. You pick one, you're probably okay. Small nose ring, eh, maybe pull it off. A little twinge of green or purple in the hair, eh, who knows? maybe they think it's some genetic thing you pick all three you're just why do they always have that look why they got a mix and match i don't know i'm not one of them i went with the tattoo i wish i hadn't i got them all over the place i was gonna try to get them off but it's too much work like forget it i'm stuck at this point all right stay tuned for vince hey if you're a homeowner you probably thought what these guys are like where do these shows come from like josh and andy are in the you know he's seen them for years and justin but they're like this dude just like randomly goes off yes yes that's what makes the show in the bongino army special i have been on roll i had been a good week i mean consider it's the middle of summer and still there's 49.2 000 people here and at 11 o 'clock eastern time is freaking bananas that is it's so crazy so i go home i talk to paula make you believe like we filled another stadium full of people at 10 o 'clock in the morning and she's like no i don't there you go speaking of going home justin's chiming in speaking of going home it's your home mortgage credit card situation very good justin it's taking over for gee if you're a homeowner you probably thought should i call american financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt then you second guess yourself because of all mortgage rates you currently have but listen hey that low rate it's not saving it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25 % or more.

1:05:45Welcoming back to the show for his biweekly appearance, It's the king. We got to get you like one of our Burger King crowns from our studio. You know, the McGroins, they get us the Burger King crowns because this building was an old Burger King. The king of morning podcasting. You can check him out at rumble.com slash Vince at 8 a.m. Eastern time every single day. He's been crushing it in the spot. Vince Colonese, thanks for spending some time with us. We appreciate it. I love it. Have you ever figured out where in the Burger King you're sitting? Are you in the dining room right now? So when we first looked at the building, that right to my right over there, like directly to my right was the drive-through window so we wanted to keep the drive-through window you remember this jasmine we wanted to keep it and the city is steward for some reason we weren't allowed to keep it i thought it would be like a cool gig like for gimmicks we could take a camera over there and you know who knows maybe trump could come in and do the mcdonald's thing again we could have but they didn't let us do it so we put like a little mini golf course out there for the guys to hang around you've been out there you know the dream yeah it's cool it's a good spot it's a good

1:06:45Dan Bongino:We hung out there, we smoked some cigars, we chatted. It was fun. I know. You had the dog, too, and it was great. I came in. I mean, the studio, it's really, it's been an experience. For those of you who've been here, including some of the McGroin crew, you know we're very proud of it. Paul put a lot of work into it. So, listen, the hostilities in Iran have heated up again. And, again, Vince, I understand and I fully appreciate and respect that there are a variety of really diverse opinions on what we should do with our military. I mean, if there's any issue, any issue we should apply, you know, real deep analysis to, it's sending our men and women overseas to potentially die, and many have, in a conflict.

1:07:25So I'm really glad that people go back and forth. But what ticks me off about this, and I put this earlier in the show, is no matter what the president does, the left-wing media and his critics will change their position. I showed this playbook thing where, you know, they're like, well, taco Tuesday or whatever. Trump's going to chicken out again. It's like, brother, I don't get it. Like when he does something kinetic with the military, you know, you're pissed off. You call him a warmonger. And then when he goes back and tries to negotiate, you accuse him of taco like Trump always chickens out.

1:07:57Like, man, just pick a freaking position. It's hard to negotiate.

1:08:00Dan Bongino:They spend all their time pretending they haven't seen him before. They intentionally suggesting that they I don't even know what he's doing and then always giving us the worst possible outcome that they can possibly imagine. And it's because they hate him. I mean, it's just Trump derangement syndrome. And as a result, I you know, you and I benefit. I think I sleep so much better at night, not worrying about what that distortion filter thinks about President Trump, but saying, hey, I've seen this guy before. The author of the art of the deal, the consummate dealmaker, the one who's always using maximum leverage in order to navigate towards something in the middle that is a much better outcome than the status quo, that's President Trump.

1:08:42Dan Bongino:from the very beginning when he was starting to navigate all of this and trying to figure out what to do. He's used both carrot and stick to maximum effectiveness from Operation Midnight Hammer and blowing up all of the nuclear facilities to establishing a memorandum of understanding and going, hey, you know what it feels like to get the crap kicked out of you. I killed the top two tiers of your leadership. Now, why don't we try to make a deal? Let's see if that works. And he gives them this wonderful opportunity to become a normal country, fully anticipating that they may very well not take the opportunity.

1:09:17Dan Bongino:And so far, they're not taking it. So as a result, he's smacking the hell out of them again. And that means, as far as we can tell in the last few days, they're blowing up whatever's left of their menacing little stupid drone operations and missiles and anything they can do to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz. and he's going to once again beat them into some form of submission, maybe have them come back to the table. But here's what's different, Dan. He's the first guy who's tried this approach. There's been lots of people who've said, why don't we just nuke them, turn it into a parking lot? There have been others who've been like, why don't we try maximum appeasement?

1:09:53Dan Bongino:President Trump has said, why don't we try everything and see what happens? Yeah, you know, I agree. And whereas I think we've been very open and candid on the show, we owe it to the audience to say, yeah, it has gone on longer. I think, than a lot of people originally anticipated. There are a lot of variables in war and outcomes. If they can anticipate everything, they'd be the Stygian witches from Clash of the Titans. And you just can't do that. However, you lift and shift and you adjust. And I think he's done that. And I think that's a pretty objective statement. I don't deny I subjectively appreciate the president and his loyalty to his people and his appreciation for the military.

1:10:31But objectively, well, yeah, maybe it has gone on a little longer than originally stated. But I think the other side can't do the same thing. And I think you're seeing it now. I played a clip earlier in the show. It's, was it Stephanie Ruhl, the MSNOW, saying, so President Trump is anticipated to give this speech tomorrow night, Thursday, primetime, 9 p.m. Eastern. And he has stated that he's going to mention some things about an election conspiracy by foreign actors and some new information that surfaced so i'll be interested to hear that stephanie rule i played the clip earlier in the show it's like you know we already know he's out there with this baseless you haven't even seen the evidence yet how the hell do you know it's baseless like that's the difference between guys like you and i who can give both sides and form an opinion and dumbasses like her who's already she's already come to the conclusion it's baseless but she doesn't even know what she's looking at

1:11:27Dan Bongino:And it's also coming from a party that is perfectly comfortable with rigging elections to its own benefit and then saying that the other side is doing it whenever it wins them legitimately. So it's like so ridiculous. I mean, Stephanie Roll, it reminds me, I played this morning on our program. I didn't play. I showed a tweet from David Axelrod who is claiming that, OK, President Trump brings out all these political apparatchiks next to him, who so-called Intel experts. I'm like, what's so-called? Wait, hold on a second. The original reporting on this, and who knows what's going to happen Thursday?

1:12:00Dan Bongino:I don't believe Ms. Now's report on the subject. But if this does happen, if President Trump shows up and Kash Patel is standing next to him, John Ratcliffe is standing next to him, Bill Paltty is standing next to him. These guys aren't so-called intel people. They are the intel people. They're the head of the respective agencies that handle the nation's intelligence. So that's a big deal. And he's calling them political apparatchiks, that they're going to come out and lie to the American people in order to subvert the will of the voter. And I was thinking as I was seeing this, Dan, hold on a second.

1:12:28Dan Bongino:You're telling me the DNI, the head of the CIA, the head of the FBI would come out and mislead the American people to subvert the will of the voter? Has that ever happened? Oh, that's right. John Brennan, James Comey, Jim Clapper were exactly those people. So when Stephanie Ruhle is going on and on about, oh, I can't believe they're alleging this stuff, this is precisely what the left does. And they accuse the other side of doing it. And Vince, you know, remember, you just accurately kind of summed up the difference between one set of folks who were in the intel community, the Clappers, the Brennans and the Comeys and Patel, Ratcliffe and Paltty right now is that the difference in this case now, at least in Fulton County, Georgia, the investigation going on, some career agent who has no political dog in the fight at all.

1:13:20They'd be fired if they lie, period. Like there's no ifs, ands or buts about it. They would never be allowed to testify again in court. Raised their right hand, he or she, I don't know, whatever, and said, I swear to the facts in this case. A judge then looked at said facts and said, yes, we approve this search warrant, right? None of that was done with Comey, where they had a guy go in front of the FISA court and lie, who was called out on those said lies, right? I mean, you had Comey admit that the procedure for interviewing people over at the House was to go through the counsel's office and this other stuff.

1:13:57And he didn't do it. He goes, oh, I just sent a few guys over, whatever. Like, there's a difference between these two entities. They should be embarrassed bringing that up.

1:14:05Dan Bongino:Yeah, totally. And, you know, and look, the guys, I mean, you know better than anybody, but the guys that President Trump brought in, he brought them in to clean up these agencies, to make them better, to get rid of that kind of corruption. and to restore faith in these institutions. That's the game here. And you'll notice that the closer the president gets to that goal, the more hysterical the left becomes about it. They just keep suggesting that president – look, the reason Axelrod puts out a tweet like that is because he's trying to salt the earth ahead of the midterms. He wants people to believe that if Republicans pick up strength in both the House and the Senate, that it was a rigged election.

1:14:39Dan Bongino:And that has the effect that he's pretending he cares about, which is to diminish the average American's faith in our elections and to whip the left even further into a TDS frenzy that hurts our country. It's a complete disaster. So I love that the president is using the power of his office to convey this message on Thursday, whatever it is, however he delivers it. I think I know he's going to push the Save America Act. I haven't talked to anybody about it, but I know he's going to do it because he's always pushing it, which he should. I think he should have the new Senator Graham there with him in the Oval Office.

1:15:12Dan Bongino:This is just my idea. I think she should be there. And he goes, hey, look, Lindsey Graham's closing conversation with me was pushing the Save America Act. His sister is now the senator from South Carolina. I have her here with me. I'm going to fight for this, too. I will see. I'll leave it to the president. He's better at the theatrics than I am. But I love this. He should stay on this. And the more the left gets driven crazy about it, the more you know he's over the target. That's right. And I agree with you that the medicine for this problem, this lack of faith in the voting system, is the SAVE Act.

1:15:45I mean, it's supported by voter ID, that is, by 70, 80 percent of people because, you know, it's overused term common sense, ironically, but it is just common sense. Like, you know, you can't buy Allegra in a Walgreens, you know, without showing ID, but you can go up and vote and determine the future of our representative democracy, our republic. It's just humiliatingly stupid to come out against it. You know, you and I are in the content creation business. And, you know, I love giving people behind the scenes. You know, a lot of hosts like to pretend like, oh, I'm just so great at this. Sometimes producing a show is really hard.

1:16:20You know, slow news days. Guy, remember the Joe Rogan thing? there was like that month what was it three years ago or something we call it the joe rogan the only story was spotify and joe rogan neely and it was like there was nothing we could there was not a single story to talk about and he and i just we would just have to pull these shows out of our cabooses and like find these i bring that up because although let me just preface this by saying it is horrible for the country horrible for the country and i pray i mean i literally pray and you know I hate that word, that the socialists lose because the country would be far worse off and we're going down a dangerous path.

1:16:58It has been amazing for content. Watching Talafrico, Abdul El-Sayed, Graham Plattner. Horrible for the country, folks. Terrible. I wish it didn't happen. But my gosh, like you put a show together. Am I wrong? And it's like you can put an hour show. You take me four hours. You put in 10 minutes, you're done. Like the whole show is done because these idiots are so embarrassing.

1:17:20Dan Bongino:Well, as you know, the secret to great content, we're going to give away some free tips here. The secret to great content is anything that's emotionally resonant. If he gets you animated, that's what people stay locked in on. And especially stuff that ticks you off. You're like, man, they really lock in on it. And that makes a lot of sense because fundamentally what you're tapping into is that people want to rescue their country from these maniacs. That's really what it's about. So it kind of serves twin purposes. Yes, it's great content. But most importantly for you and for me, it's about saving our country and preventing these lunatics from having more power.

1:17:53Dan Bongino:And in fact, one of the I say great just by way of our political priorities, one of the great things about a guy like Talafrico or this this guy Graham is that they are avatars. They are representatives for the rest of their party. They're just the most theatrical expressions of it. But this is why they got rid of the dude in Maine. That's why they got rid of the Nazi tattoo guy, because one, he wasn't going to win his race against Susan Collins. And two, he was going to serve as a representation for Democrats nationwide that they didn't want in front of voters. So they said, we got to give this guy the heave ho.

1:18:27Dan Bongino:They called in all the moves and they got rid of him in order to do that. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar move on Talafrico getting closer to the election. if he becomes a real net drag on the Democrats nationwide. I would not be shocked if the blackmail file starts cracking open on him too, the same way it did for Eric Swalwell in the governor's race. They cracked open the blackmail file to get rid of him because they were scared there were going to be two Republicans on the ballot in November in California. This party is like if you stand in their way, no matter how much you've been a loyal lickspittle for their politics, they will run you over for their own party's power.

1:19:08You know, you brought up a critical point because what works for content works for me too. You know, whenever Fox calls to ask me to do a hit, an appearance on anything involving socialism, it's almost like an automatic yes if I'm available because I'm just so passionate about this topic because as I keep saying on the show, one, it's easy to talk about. Not that it's easy to talk about and that it's so obviously a fraud. You know, I said last night on Hannity, it's like the bio 101 experiment where every time you conduct it, the lab blows up and you're like, we'll get them next time. Well, actually you won't because there's no lab.

1:19:49Like it blew up the prior 20, we're not doing it anymore. Like this is what happens with socialism every time. And I thought about that about a clip I played earlier in the show where they never live by their own rules. You know, tax the rich. They are rich and they do everything to avoid taxes. Ro Khanna is worth anywhere from 30 to 300 million. Bernie Sanders, a millionaire, you know. But one thing I really find almost hilariously stupid is there was a segment earlier in the show with this congresswoman saying, hey, about DEI and medicine. and I said to the guys inside playing this clip, Vince, you know damn well, God forbid something tragic happens to you or your family and they need an emergency surgery, even like an appendectomy, you know, they'll get an infection and die.

1:20:31Do you really believe anyone listening, forget the conservatives, they're smart, but like even the dumb liberals listening to the show, do you really believe they're like, hey man, what did this guy say on his DEI application of medical school? Does he appreciate the cultural relevance of the, nobody's doing that. These people are total freaking frauds.

1:20:51Dan Bongino:Look, I mean, you've been very public about your health situation through the years. You've had some pretty dramatic health scares. Now, I can't imagine for a moment you would say, you know what? No, don't give me the best guy. I need to check the skin color situation here first. No, you want the best guy. Paula wants the best guy working on Dan, okay? And that's true for all of us. Never in a million years would you sit back and be like, you know what? No, I'm not going with that guy. I need some transgender albino door from the middle of some other country to work up. No, you're not looking for that.

1:21:23Dan Bongino:You're looking for competence. And that's in every single, like, any realm that has any risk whatsoever. Whether it's flying an airplane or doing open heart surgery, you just need competence. You want to survive this experience and get there safely. And, you know, Vince, this is not some sorry, silly virtue signal at all. I swear to you, I love you guys too much in the audience. You're right. You know, when you get cancer, and I'm good. It was stage one. I want to be dramatic. Like, you know, lymphoma, thankfully, is very treatable. And it was a long time ago. Knock on wood. Thank you, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

1:22:01But it never even occurred to me until you just said that. Like, when I got in the room, I think the MD Anderson doctor, the radiation oncologist, was female. and she looked Arabic, but I don't really know. Like it never even occurred to me. And you said, because I just, it's not what I, all I was hearing was like, you know, do you have a history of this? Do you have a history of that? Well, let's look at that. I didn't, it never even occurred to me to be like, maybe I should ask her how she feels about DEI. No, it's the same.

1:22:32Dan Bongino:Dude, I've gone through a couple of medical things. In the last few years, I've gone through some medical things. And I've been forthcoming about this too. I've got a spine condition. It's called ankylosing spondylitis. So I have a rheumatologist. My rheumatologist is a black guy. He is the best rheumatologist in the area. I didn't sign up with him because he's black. I signed up with him because he's the best rheumatologist in the area. That's what I wanted. I had a woman do an inguinal hernia that I had to deal with. A friend of mine had a hernia operation and said, this woman's the best. She did a great job on me.

1:23:03Dan Bongino:I went with her because she was the best. It wasn't because she's a chick. It wasn't because he's black. It's because I went to them on the merits. And Dan, it's just like, it's crazy that the left wants us in a world where we're judging people on irrelevant characteristics. They're agents of chaos. I call them AOCs. They're agents of chaos. And we should stop falling for this crap. This would have disappeared. That's the great irony of, you know, persistent racism. Racism, of course, exists. I mean, there's no doubt about it. The only question is on the margin, how much of it and what we can do to combat it.

1:23:37however the margin would have slipped significantly if the left would just stop making race the central focal point of every single issue and it really is just the division tactic they don't really care about black or hispanic vote they don't really don't give a shit at all i mean the second black or hispanic voters escape the tyranny of like the awful public school system and start producing at levels of like asian and white counterparts and sat's and stuff i promise The left's going to throw them overboard. And you know what they're going to call them, Vince? They're going to call them like white adjacent, just like they call Asians and Jews.

1:24:12They're minorities. Why don't they matter? Well, they're white adjacent. Why? Because they believe in – like what? It's the liberals that are holding minority communities down through this crappy garbage public school system.

1:24:25Dan Bongino:Who's that fake conservative consultant on The View, the Hispanic lady? I forget her name. But she was just saying this week she was she attacked Marco Rubio. You're making me think of this clip. I don't watch the view, but like we see the clips, right? Navarro? Anna Navarro. That's right. Anna Navarro. So Navarro, somebody brought up Marco Rubio, I think, as like a presidential candidate or something. And she's like, yeah, but he doesn't stand with Hispanics because they're deporting everybody. I'm like, what kind of two dimensional mindless horse crap is this? I mean, like you've got plenty of American citizens of Hispanic descent, Marco Rubio among them.

1:25:01Dan Bongino:One of the proudest Americans imaginable. And what? That he would that he has common cause with illegal aliens because they broke into the country and they happen to speak the same language that he speaks as a secondary issue. It doesn't even make any sense. It's it's so stupid. And yet this is what passes for like legitimate, dignified conversation in these quarters. Dan, I'm so glad that we are liberated from this crap. I'm so glad that the average American is awake to it. I feel like a couple of years ago, there were a lot of people who were lulled into complicity and silence on this because they didn't want to offend.

1:25:39Dan Bongino:You know, the left always exploits your decency. They always try. They always make it. Basically, they're trying to tell you, oh, you don't want to be a bad person, do you? You don't want to be a bad person. And so people stay quiet under that kind of moral blackmail. The reality is there's no reason to stay quiet anymore because we know we're right. We know they're wrong and we should say it out loud. And you've seen it. I mean, you and I and Haley, I mean, Haley's on for you. Haley's got like 19 hours of screen time a day or something. Like, how the hell? She's like, you're a rookie, bro. Like I showed her eight hours on my phone and she was like, ha.

1:26:09She sent me the ha ha emoticon thing or emoji. She's like, rookie, rookie numbers. Like where are they all day? And you and I both know like the tide is, it's not just turn. Like it's like a tidal wave now. People are just now like, yo, screw that. I'm not going to play this politically correct bullshit anymore. If it's true, I'm going to say it's true. But last question for you. So I played another clip earlier in the show. I told you these DSA people, Democrat socialists of America are a tragedy, but they're just amazing for content because they're so stupid and enraging. one of them suggested earlier in the show that um they should bomb the diaspora community of iranians and cubans in miami and la because they're the ones who speak out basically the loudest against socialism and it goes back to our point like you really believe these people are the moral high ground tip of the spear right ethics and rally they hate your guts they care only about power oh we care about cubans and all this other stuff and marco rubio is terrible well what about the Cubans who were tortured, who escaped to the United States and are living great now and speak out against social.

1:27:13No, no, we should bomb those MFers too. They hate you. All they care about is power and you being an acquisition tool for said power.

1:27:21Dan Bongino:Their only principle is power. Their only principle is power and nothing else. And once every American opens their eyes to it, they will throw the Democrat Party clean out of American politics. But unfortunately, there are a number of people who are still brainwashed into compliance and believing this here. You know, if this Democrat party was sincere, they'd tell the truth about their own history and racial politics and how divisive and destructive they've been. If this party was sincere about caring about black Americans, they would uplift people like Clarence Thomas, our finest Supreme Court justice, and talk about his wonderful accomplishments on the court.

1:27:55Dan Bongino:They're not for any of that. It's all fundamentally about their own power. And the second you stand in the way, they're going to Al Franken you. They're going to Eric Swalwell you. They'll Graham Plattner you. They will, what they're trying to do right now with John Fetterman, they want to primary him clean out of the party because he is serving as an impediment to their power. It is the only math they care about. It's the only principle they care about. And once you detect that, man, your eyes are wide open to every scheme they have. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Fetterman switches parties at all.

1:28:29I mean, I have no inside baseball on it. I've never even spoken to Fetterman, but I would not be surprised at all. That party is just completely abandoned him. Talk about a guy who's done a full like 180. I mean, it's unbelievable to see someone change so quickly. I think he went into the United States Senate. I couldn't believe like how crazy everything was. That's my guess. Folks, I didn't think he would come back from it.

1:28:52Dan Bongino:I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just just one point on Fetterman. You know, once he had that stroke, I thought he was done for. And it's just a reminder, God works in very mysterious ways. And sometimes it's that kind of confrontation that'll shake you into some sort of realization about what it's all about. I know. I mean, you and I were destroying this guy when he was running all the crazy shit he was saying. And the guy does a total freaking 180. Never seen anything like it.
