All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bonino show. Folks, sorry we were a little bit late. That was intentional. Kate Zachariah did the first press conference at the White House and the press room. I wanted to give you some time to watch it. I think it's really important. I am an activist first.

I am an activist for conservative and liberty-based causes. The show is not about me. It's about the end game. And the end game is about advancing conservative causes. Kate Zachariah as the new press secretary is going to be one of the lead advocates for the Trump agenda. I thought it was super important that you'd be able to check that out and have some time to migrate over. We're happy to have you here. I'll address that quickly.

Folks, there's something, I think, another X factor in this election. And I think it's one of the reasons the Democrats at the last minute are starting to panic a little bit. I'm starting to see some hedging. oh, maybe the polls are off, all this other stuff. I think there's a reason. I hate teases. I think it has a lot to do with the Trump administration ongoing crackdown on voter fraud. I think they're getting a little nervous.

I've got that. And I just want to start the beginning with stuff I usually don't start about with the show. Folks, I'm really getting tired of these left-wing lunatic Hollywood idiots. Finally, like someone with a sane sound in mind gets up on stage like, I'm not here for the damn politics. I'll show you what I mean coming up in a minute.

You know, I had a little bit of a health crisis in the past. Why do I always turn in the wrong way? I needed to get leaner. Listen, my knees were killing me.

I got some bad arthritis in my knees. I had a drop like 20, 30 pounds. I lost more. I lost closer to 40 pounds on Lean. It's a great product, highly recommended. Listen, I did my research on it. I did my research on these injections. And for me, it was a hard no.

instead I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition, and here's why. These weight loss shots work by helping control blood, sugar, and appetite, so you eat less. There's no argument that shots can work for many people. But Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things naturally. Lean helped tackle my hunger and help support steady energy without constant cravings. Lean did something injections don't. It helped my body turn fat into energy, so I burn fat instead of storing it. My favorite part about Lean, it's a nutritional supplement that works.

It worked for me. Go look at the old pictures there. It's not a shot, no prescriptions, no need. I lost weight with lean. I believe you can too. Go to Brickhouse Nutrition.com slash Dan. Use promo code Dan for 20% off. Brickhouse Nutrition.com slash Dan.

So just quickly, Kate Zachariah just did a great job. It was a short press conference. This is the way to go. She gave an intro. gave the president's travel schedule, talked about how he's going to advance the agenda, which I think he's going to do well for candidates where he visits. You see a bump in polling,

draws attention to local races. But I thought she did great. I think it was smart. Keep it short, the first one. There's always going to be a bit of nerves, folks. I don't care who you are. You get of nerves of steel. You go up there in front of an international audience

that's watching you on day one. But I thought she did fantastic. So congratulations to Kate. Folks, I think the Trump administration crackdown on voter fraud and receipts incoming in a few minutes. But again, I hate tease this. I think is having a dramatic impact on this election already. All I'm asking you to do is look at the data. I'm not asking you to speculate when it's an opinion.

I'll tell you so. My opinion, because I don't know the election day results yet, are that this is not going to be the blue wave Democrats. think or the media people are telling you it's going to happen. They're not acting like that at all. And the data on early voting, specifically out of Michigan and Florida, does not look good for the Democrats at all. You can't tell us like the polls are reflective

of this massive outcry by Democrats against President Trump and for defunding the police and higher taxes and government-run health care. Look, it's reflected in the data when it's not reflected in the data. I think they're concerned. I'm going to get to it in a minute. Ladies and gentlemen, as I said last night and Laura Ingram's show and yesterday on the podcast, the choice in this election is crystal clear.

I'll show you what we're up against, but I wanted you to see this first. I rarely cover this stuff because it's so annoying and stupid. But here we go. This is a country singer in a market full of relatively conservative patriots who love the country. They love our history. They love the history of our great explorers and founding fathers and elsewhere. Here's Casey Musgraves up on stage. Let me let her speak for herself.

And then I'll show you the other side of this what it looks like when you just shut up and just sing what people pay to ticket for. No one cares about your stupid political opinions. Check this out. That's right. Wait. No, yeah, actually, obviously fuck Columbus.

That's the person to probably ever exist. Like for real. What a loser. You're a loser. Christopher Columbus. We hate you. Casey, just lead by example, you freaking fraud, phony, fake. You know, it's really sad.

I actually enjoyed some of our music. Now I can't listen to this music with a straight face without wanting to throw up. Why don't you start the anti-Columbus, anti- Explorer, you know, Magellan, Leaf Erickson, all of them? Why do you start that initiative and go back and do some homework on the million-dollar property you live to and give it back to the indigenous people or whoever you support. Just lead by example. Join Billy Elish and others and just do of what you speak.

You won't because you're a big fake, phony fraud. The only reason I bring this up is, folks, I can almost guarantee you all of these clown goofballs support a party, the Democrats, that are hypocrites too. That's the point. No one gives a damn about what Casey Musgraves thinks about politics. However, what's important is the people she's implying by this left-wing lunacy that you should vote for, the Democrats and others, are hypocrites too. We think you should pay a wealth tax. Do you pay a wealth tax? No, I don't pay it.

As a matter of fact, I pay my accountant to avoid paying taxes. Sir, you don't believe it. You're a fraud. Democrats, we hate school choice. Don't you send your kids to private school? I didn't mean my kids because you're a fraud. I support government-run health care. Are you on government-run health?

No, no, I get the federal employees' health benefits program. I get to pick between a portfolio of privately run options that are really good for me. So they're good for you. Folks, these people are frauds. I've got a whole section today. And they're hypocrites, too. You saw it yesterday with the Yohan Omar news. I thought they were the party of no one's above the law.

They're not. They're only a party of no one's above the law when it's not their party, because their party they believe is above, in fact, the law. He was James Hatfield from Metallica. And again, I don't care what celebrities say either way. But I go to a concert to hear music. I'm really not interested at all in your stupid, uninformed, hypocritical, political opinions. Here's the other side of this.

Whether you like him or not, hat tip to Hatfield, be like, you didn't pay to come here to listen to me, spout off, and to pontificate about politics. Check this out. Unless you live in Vegas, you've come a long way to spend some time with Metallica. We're grateful for that. Your travels, the money you spent, the time it took. Thanks for coming to celebrate with us. And I just got to say, Metallica is not here like some other entertainers to influence you with their bullshit.

Okay? We are here. No bullshit. We're here to forget about all the outside shit. Okay? Italica's agenda is love, energy, and heavy music, baby. That's what you go to the concert for, man. You don't go there for a political speech about the freaking laffer curve. Folks, the choice is clear. I was on Laura's show last night on Fox, and I don't get it. I don't get it.

I said something last night. I'm not going to play the clip. because I can say it again. I try to avoid that. But talking to you as one of you and a friend to you, a lot of you know me personally. Some of you send me messages or emails. I feel like I have kind of grown up in the show with you all.

I don't get it. You have another party out there, the Democrats. It's a two-party system. For all its flaws, that's what we got. I live in the real world, not the world as I want it to be. You do too. I don't get it. Joe Biden, I would say outside of Barack Obama, the most destructive president in modern U.S. history by far.

The open borders, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the just profligate government spending that caused rates of inflation we haven't seen since Jimmy Carter. I mean, a guy in significant cognitive decline who refused to give up the president. presidency, yet couldn't even remember at times tragic moments in his own life on interviews, weaponized government, the Jack Smith debacle, I mean the mess he left us with at the FBI and elsewhere I had personal experience with. Joe Biden, I could make a case, is neck and neck with Barack Obama for the most destructive presidency in modern times. Where am I going with this? Go look at his midterm election. Was there a red wave? No. Folks, there wasn't even a red trickle.

Matter of fact, if I'm correct, someone looked this up in the chat. I think Biden actually gained the Senate seat for the Democrats, and I'm pretty sure he lost less than 10 seats on the House side. Why? Because Democrats show up no matter what, and in their head, they say, for however much this guy sucks, Joe Biden. And believe me, Democrats knew he sucked. They were paying higher gas prices.

prices were through the roof. Democrats said to themselves, it's more important in this system we're stuck with now, this binary system, to keep that party out of power. Folks, we don't have any of those problems. And we've still got people in the Dumer side telling you not to show up and vote. Inflation's far lower than it was under Joe Biden, far lower. It's about 3%. Biden average 5%. Look this stuff up yourself. He peaked at 9%. Gas prices were higher. The only thing Joe Biden had over Donald Trump. And even that is an asterisk, was the jobless rate was a little bit lower at times. And it's only because people had left the workforce.

That's it. The border was open. Crime was higher. Just look it up. Someone look it up in the chat. You'll see what I'm telling you is true. We have the borders shut, the safest streets you've ever lived in, huge Second Amendment victories, massive regulatory reform, median household incomes up, the jobless rate is low.

the poverty rates the lowest we've seen in modern times we have school choice initiatives going on now at the federal level filtering out into every state and you've still got people on our side telling you not to show up so let what we can hand it over to democrats folks i don't get it man i don't mean to sound depressed or pissed off at the beginning of the show i'm sorry but i legitimately don't get it hate on the other party all you want but the hard truth is they show up man they showed up for this nearly senile guy in the White House with one of the worst records. He makes Carter look like Ronald Reagan. And they showed up.

We don't have any of those problems. We have a two-year record of just incredible stats and results and numbers. I mean, look at the other side, folks. The choice is clear. I like this guy's reporting. He does some work over at Real America's Voice. I try to promote other creators, too, because as I said to you in the beginning of the show, why we delayed it.

It's not about us, folks. It's about the movement. The minute you make it about you, get off the freaking airwaves. This Ben Berkwam, sorry if I'm saying your last name, I appreciate it's Berkwam. At Real America's voice, he goes out and does a lot of man on the street interviews.

I want you to see just like Casey Musgraves and these other far-left lunatics, the Billy Elishes, the Bruce Springsteins, and the other. This is the alternative. A bunch of hypocrite, phony frauds that don't live by anything they want you to live by, who also look and sound like lunatics too. This is your choice.

It's never a perfect choice, but this is your choice. This is a level zero decision. It's an easy ground ball. Here's your alternative. Check this out. You don't deserve to die. In any case, there is no war that requires bombing hospitals. So no abortion either, though.

Those are fucking kids? Can I ask, are you wearing the mask because still because of COVID or just you don't want to have your face shown? I'm wearing it because ICE agents love to wear theirs as well. So there you go. Solidarity with ICE? Not at all, sir. When you say don't deport, stop deporting your neighbors, are there any people that

I should be able to deport? I'm not going to talk about that because I'm not entertaining this question that you're asking me. I think it's very obvious what we should be deporting and what we shouldn't be deporting. So rapists, murderers, that sort of things, okay? Have a good conscious mind, have good morals. We obviously know who should be getting deported and who should be not. We don't make the laws, dumbass.

It's already been a thing that we have been keeping going. You're okay with ICE enforcing the law. But we're not at all. We're not here for ICE to be taking over, tackling people, ripping children apart. If you're all pro-life and you all love children, yet you want children to die, you want children to get raped. I think ICE wants that. Goodbye, sir. Just let him talk, folks.

Just let them talk. This is why I tell you, and this is not directed at you, the listeners. I know you guys are the activists and the diehards and the door knockers and donating the campaigns and out there on social media, Facebook and TikTok and Snapchat and elsewhere and calling your friends. I get that much respect. I put my hand over my heart, but I can't. I almost don't work. But to people on the fence, you've got to get off the fence, man, to pick it sticking right up the caboose.

You've got to get off the fence. You've got a choice, even if you've hated us in the past, Because you believe some media fairy tale that Republicans support police assassinating black man and we're all racist who want Jim Crowback. Obvious stupidity. Even if you believe that, even if you believe that nonsense crap, you could debunk in a quarter of a millisecond on AI. You want these people in charge? That's your choice. You want to go back to open borders, back to criminals running your streets.

You want to go back to confiscatory taxes and blowout spending and nine and ten. 10% inflation, that's your choice. And I say to some of the folks on our side, too, I know these are not comfortable messages. I'm not here to be anybody's Teddy Ruxpin where you put a quarter in your back and you get a fairy tale story. I live in the real world as it is just like you do. You got to get out there and vote early the minute it opens up. I know a lot of people don't like it.

The presidents come out, even though it's not the greatest system in the world. I wish we didn't have three, four weeks, six freaking months of early moating California. voting, excuse me, who the hell knows how long they have it out there. I wish we didn't have that. But that's not the world we live in. Here's a great post by Britt Griffin. I played President Trump yesterday telling you, please bank your vote. He notes anybody getting hammered with political ad texts.

I was getting about 25 a day. I voted last week by mail. I got a notification last Thursday. The ballot was received. From that point to this morning, I've only received four political texts and zero calls. So vote, most of it stops. I'm just trying to appeal to the sense of of everyone. On the tactical side, you will save Republican candidates a fortune once you get out and

vote. Here's a newsflash for a lot of folks. Some may not know this. Any candidate running for office can find out if you voted. I thought it was a secret ballot. It is. They don't know who you voted for. It is a secret ballot. They know you voted. You come off the list. They don't have to call you. They don't have to send you what they call a lit drop, like a literature drop in the mail. They don't have to drop mail at your door. You're saving them a fortune. Then they can go out. out and reach low propensity voters who were still on the fence, who were unsure that they want the green-haired lady or the pink-haired lady in the beginning of the show. They think that that might still be an option.

Save them money. Save yourself to hassle. I know it's not the greatest system. I hate the system. When I was running for office, it cost me a fortune to man polls for like three weeks in Maryland. I didn't have that kind of money. I was a new beat of the candidate process. The incumbents love it.

but this is the system we're stuck with. Can't have your kid getting sick on game day, your car breaks down. These are going to be races that if we hold the House and Senate, it's going to be by a sliver. Are the polls wrong? Folks, I think they are. Predictions are like holes, you get the point. Everybody's got one.

They're worthless. We've got an election coming up in three weeks. Go out and vote. Just get it done. However, Harry Anton over at CNN is put out. I mean, it's the CNN. And again, I can't say enough, they have no incentive whatsoever to be pro-Trump or anything like that. Here's some warning signs that the Democrats may be way too reliant on a bunch of polls that have been historically wrong by about three points or more.

If that same anti-Trump error in the polls materializes in this midterm election, ladies and gentlemen, we're not going to be in good shape. We're going to be in great shape. Only way to stop this hemorrhaging is to show up and vote. Here's some incentive that this blue wave talk by the media is probably meant to keep you home. Check this out. The 2026 Senate poll, but if the polls are underestimated the Republicans by 3.5 points, which you know is really possible because we've seen it through the history, right? You go back to 2020. That's basically what happened.

Even in 2024, a number of the key states who saw it happen, including places like Texas. How about Michigan? How about up there in Maine? How about in Alaska? How about in Iowa? How about in Kansas? Which has been getting a lot of press lately? All of these go red. All these go red. And Republicans don't just hold the United States Senate. They hold it easily with 52 seats to the Democrats' 48 seats. Folks, this is CNN. This guy's not a MAGA guy. He's just giving you the numbers that the polls you're being told now are indicating some massive. blue tsunami. No one's going to win. Trump's going to lose. He's not even out of ballot. Doesn't matter. He's going to lose too. It's going to be that much of a blue wave. That if you just go by the data in the past, they are probably wrong.

You show up. We're going to win and bring 10 people with you. I see a bunch of people in the chat. Listen, some people say, I'm only going to vote on election. Oh, that's, I can't, I can't tell you, but I'm not here to lecture you. I'm just here to give you information. And I want to show you something coming up next. You know, I hate teases. it's about voter fraud that I think has the Democrats really worried.

If you read here, again, more receipts and come, I don't have an element for this, but if you read political playbooks morning email, that's like the left wing Bible. Everybody gets it. I'm on it because I want to see what the left is thinking. You're going to see in playbooks morning email a bunch of Democrats hedging their predictions right now

of some blue tsunami. Why? I think voter fraud and the Trump administration's crackdown is they're starting to get them worried. I'll show you what I mean. Receipts incoming in a second quick break.

The Department of Justice, the FBI, despite the Dumer calls for you to not vote and hand the country to a bunch of communist, socialists, and people with green hair, you know, the president's a pedophile, freaking lunatics, right? They will ignore this and they will tell you nothing is happening because they are actively engaged in adjut prop to stop you from showing up because they are, in fact, liberal commies themselves pretending to be one of us.

Department of Justice release. Nothing is happening. Files keeps growing. I told everyone we're going to have to add a third shelf of items here. I thought nothing was happening on voter front. It's now in the last two weeks. This is our third or fourth story, all separate stories. by the way, about voter fraud.

Today, the DOJ announced charges involving 16 individuals, including an illegal alien connection with illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration, and related election crimes across the country. Crimes include voting by aliens and federal elections, false claims of U.S. citizenship, voting on behalf of the deceased, voting multiple times in the same election, false statements on citizenship applications,

and on lawful procurement of citizenship. I thought that wasn't happening. I thought that wasn't happening. If you don't watch this show and you watch Dumer Podcastistan, that I'll tell you everybody's sitting on their ass, everybody's sitting there plucking their eyebrows, doing nothing. Everybody's sitting there brushing their teeth, washing their face, grooming, they're doing like the monkeys in the wild do where they like,

they pick the ticks off each other and nothing's happening. How do you explain all this? The Democrats are worried about it because it sends a message. 16 individuals here, four there, 10 there, five there, what happens? All of a sudden it sends a message to people thinking about committing illegal voter fraud. They're not kidding. That's the point. Folks, you can look this stuff up yourself, man.

I'm just asking you to go out and do the homework. I'm trying to help everybody along because the choice in this election is clear. You want more voter fraud than yes, vote Democrat. They are the party that not only doesn't care about it, they care about advancing voter fraud. That's why they don't want voter ID. And they're total hypocrites, too. They're total freaking frauds.

From Casey Musgraves to Billy Elish to Bruce Springsteen, to all their liberal people in the entertainment community, telling you to go out for a bunch of losers and zeros. Meanwhile, they're sitting in million-dollar mansions who don't want to pay higher taxes themselves. some of these people move overseas to get and hide their money to get out of paying taxes. They just want you to pay higher taxes. They're also hypocrites at the legislative level, too.

Here's a bunch of talking heads, hat-tip the Great Maze Moore. I thought nobody was above the law, folks. There was some process action on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar yesterday, and I'm sick and tired of the integrity of people in charge now at the Trump administration being questioned by a bunch of goons who openly celebrate, Donald Trump being prosecuted in the case of New York where there wasn't even a victim. Here they are, hat tip Maze Moore telling you, hey, nobody's above the law. Okay, let's apply that in real life and not be frauds then like you are. Check this out.

One is above the law. Nobody's above the law. No person is above the law. No one is above the law. No one is above the law. No one is above the law. You're not above the law. You're not untouchable. And so it's nice to see that the rule of law has returned. So the commentary on the Ilhan Omar case was fascinating. I'm on the outside now. I learned about it yesterday on the news like you did. However, you haven't even seen any of the evidence yet. You've seen nothing. And all of a sudden, you got people complaining. Here's some Fox News coverage yesterday about what happened.

And by the way, let me just say in advance. I actually believe in the Constitution and due process. the congresswoman deserves due process like anyone else. If the evidence is there to prosecute, then the evidence will be there and use the prosecution. If it's not, it won't. Unlike the frauds on the left, who had to invent evidence against President Trump,

fake victims and a fake fraud scheme with no victims, it was Fox coverage yesterday. What happened in case you missed it? Check this out. So to rep, Ilan Omar, responding after federal agents raided her Washington, D.C. home earlier today. She wrote on X saying, quote, I'm okay. make no mistake. This is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For 10 years, she says, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns.

This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced. Really? It's political intimidation. How do you know that? How do you know that? You're entitled to your day in court like anyone else. Here's CNN's Dana Bash, who says at the end of this clip, talking about that exact piece, Ilhan Omar's objection, saying this is political weaponization. She's right?

She's right about what? What part are you referring to? Again, CNN didn't seem to have these same similar opinions when Donald Trump was being unquestionably politically targeted, which what appears to be on its face, if you just look at it, fabricated evidence. Check this out. Morning, federal officials carried out a search at the D.C.

home of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Moments ago, Congresswoman Omar made her first comments about the search saying, I'm okay, make no mistake. This is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement for 10 years. Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. Our crime and justice correspondent, Caitlin Polance, is tracking this story. She's right. She has long been a target of President Trump's and other Republicans. Folks, throw the media garbage out immediately. You see how she's already defaulted without seeing any evidence, search warrant returns, anything like that. She's already defaulted to a she's right posture on this despite having seen nothing, nothing at all.

There was another panel on CNN last night. Mark Short was on it. And Mark Short brings up this interesting fact. I need you to understand this, okay? stop what you're doing right away. Whenever your friends discuss this case, your liberal buddies, if you have them, or the liberal lunatic who comes up to your Republican booth at the, you know, the county fair or whatever, this is political prosecution.

Your first question should be to them, really? Is the Democrat appointed federal judge who signed off on the search warrant and the agents at HSI and elsewhere who swear to them on the penalty of perjury? Are they in on it too? The Democrat judge. because you realize that's how you understand liberals and in the media that's how this happens right federal agents don't sign their own search marks they have to go in front of a judge who has to read the evidence and determine themselves that it meets the probable cause standard do you not know this this is like

charlie brown's encyclopedia law enforcement 101 finally someone with some common sense on cnn check this out. I think the reality is that unfortunately D.A. has been politicized on both sides. And I don't know if the same commentary was here when Marlago was raided and there was concern that he was looking to enter the race again and people were concerned about the optics in the same way that they're now appears to be concerned about the optics or the timing. This was an argument that President Trump and his lawyers made that it was a problem for him right before an election. Of course. Of course. And I just think that if you're going to have concerns on the one side, you should have concerns on the other. I think the reality is that there's a lot of swirl around her

about questions about her marriages, questions about her current husband, I think is still investigation. Reality, there's been a lot of questions about what's happened with daycare center in Minnesota and what extent she was wrapped up in that. So there's a lot out there that we don't know about, but we do know that a judge signed off on it. And a D.C. Magistrate judge, they're four, they're all Democrats. So a Democrat judge signed off on this warrant and this search. And so I think there's a lot potentially here that we aren't really understanding yet. Here. Hold on. Free Hawaiian in the chat. The fact that a leftist D.C. judge signed off on the warrant.

Means the case is so egregious. I'll wait for the evidence there too, but the judge could be sanctioned if they denied the warrant. I don't understand. Like, what part of the data bash liberal media ecosystem? What part of like a D.C. Leftist judge signed off on the, and I don't want to know leftist or not, but a Democrat-appointed judge signed off on this.

What part of that is hard for you to understand? Folks, the congresswoman is entitled to, day in court. I can't say this enough. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Unlike the left, I'm not a fraud and never will be a fraud. I'm not going to be a hypocrite like these freaking clowns, doomers, left-wing, jokers, and commies that don't live by their own creed, okay? I believe in the Constitution. For people I like, for people I don't like, for people I don't care about. Everybody gets the same rights. The media, however, has already assumed that she's right. She's right about what? Folks, the choice is clear. Maybe you're not voting national security. Maybe you're not voting on

public safety. Maybe you're not voting on the border. Listen, people have all kinds of issues. A lot of people understandably, I get you. Sometimes those are secondary issues to some folks. Not everybody votes like we do borders, security, you know, the culture, the importance of wiping out DEI. Some folks, that's secondary. A lot of people vote their wallets. Folks, I get that there's a lot of rage against there's envy culture out there. And it's starting to filter across the political spectrum of like, you know, corporate profits are terrible. And it sounds awful. Like corporate projects. Like, this is like businesses that seem to exist in like the ether. The hard reality is working Americans work for a lot of these businesses. And there's just, if they lose money,

There's no way to pay anyone. I'm sorry if this sounds elementary to a lot of liberals listening, but when the stock market gets bigger, pension funds get bigger. You know, university endowments, even your own university endowments and your left-wing universities get bigger. It is of no interest to anybody in the United States for the stock market to crash. You have a wealth effect with the stock market where people feel like they're worth more. They look at their 401k and they go and spend more money at companies, which then expand

because they're making more money. This is not hard to understand. It's uncomfortable truths for Republicans. Oh, we can't talk about businesses making money. No, you can and you should. Talk to people like adults and they'll respond like adults. Talk to them like they're idiots and that you're going to get treated like an idiot yourself because you deserve it. Here's Stephen Moore.

I really like Stephen's work, an economist, very smart guy. Here he is on Fox with a warning about the stock market. Now, we've heard warnings before about Donald Trump that didn't materialize. However, I suggest you take this seriously. Because the Democrats running for Congress and the Senate now are hard core anti-business people who are just saying the easy thing, not the right thing. You want your pension, you want your 401K, you want your retirement in a good spot. Even the Trump accounts for these kids, you need businesses to make money.

Heed this warning. It's important. Check this out. It's a bit of an overstatement. I know President Trump never exaggerates, right? But I love the guy. But it is true that if you look at the market and the market forecasters, they are telling us that it will reduce the value in the stock market as much as $2 trillion

if the Democrats win the House and the Senate. Now, the Senate is up for grabs right now, so that could go either way. So I don't think we're talking about a 1929 depression, but the value of people's assets will clearly fall if the Democrats win the House and Senate. It's something that voters should keep in mind. I mean, we've had a booming stock market, as you know, for the last. last 10 years. I'd hate to see that come to an ad. Well, particularly, more, more people are relying on the stock market to fund their fore. Folks, I'd hate to see it come to an end, too.

If you're voting your wallet, I'm just encouraging you to listen to what he's saying. And by the way, Steve Moore is a guy who will speak his mind. He doesn't agree with President Trump. So if your argument is, oh, he's just a Trump sycophant, you're an idiot. You're really a moron. Just I'll Google or put in whatever search engine you want, Steve Moore tariffs. He doesn't agree with President Trump on everything. He's not a Trump sycophon at all. He's an economist warning you

that the likelihood of the stock market holdings you may or may not have, but will affect you no matter what. Even if you know no stock at all, I promise there are companies out there invested in stock that you worked for. You do not want this to happen. There is nothing good that's going to come out of this. I've also encouraged you as,

well to make this a national security election. The reason it's not, in my humble opinion, and this is a good thing, period, is thanks to the Trump administration, the Department of Justice, and the new leadership team at the FBI, you've had a significant crackdown on targeted political violence, terror. You haven't had a huge blow-up national security incident on domestic show. We've had incidents, no doubt. but I believe it's due to the Trump administration's NSPM 7. It's enhancement of the counterterror division at the FBI,

getting away from political targeting and focusing on actual bad guys, use of AI, other tools, the DNA database, biometrics overseas. These are all things we did when we were there. They're real things and receipts. However, folks, I'm not trying to scare you. You know, I'm not a panic guy. Don't ever hit the bed. Put an S in front of it.

You know, don't do it. I remember being a Secret Service agent. You panicked. You were out. You were out. One time, you, the bed, you were gone. That's it. But there is a problem out there that's not lurking on the horizon.

It's above our heads right now. Some literally, most figuratively. It's the drone problem. This is a huge national security threat. They covered it on 60 minutes, which Sean Kerr. director of the Secret Service. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to give you a little bit of bad news. Nobody has an easy answer for this threat.

I'm just telling you the non-national security pro-terror sympathizing left doesn't give a damn about this problem. I want you to look at this tweet because I told you this when I, just when I left the FBI, I told you this is an ironclad rule of operating in the drone space right now. Rob Lee on X. Many American and European drones provided to Ukrainian units continue to fail or perform poorly. The same drones are being procured by NATO militaries. The companies that are succeeding have developed strong relationships with the Ukrainians that respond quickly to the

feedback from Ukrainian operators. They benefit from their expertise in rapid innovation cycle in Ukraine. Battlefield performance in Ukraine should be one of the primary factors for future procurement choices by NATO militaries. Regardless of your opinion on the Ukraine-Russia war, I understand. That's not the subject of this segment now. We can argue that. Another day. We've talked about it here over and over. What this guy's saying on X is absolutely right. I told you, but I think one of the second or third shows when I came back from the FBI. Folks, if it doesn't work in an active war zone in Ukraine with a serious adversary like the Russians, that's not going to work. Test it there or throw it out. This is a serious problem. It's going to

change everything if there's a domestic drone terror attack in the United States. Every time you hear a buzz overhead, It's going to induce mass panic. You've got people in charge now actually doing something about it. Just, it's public. I'm not telling you anything that's secret or cryptic. Put in your favorite search engine again. President Trump's executive order on drones. From day one, he got in office.

He knew this was a problem. You want to put the other side back in charge? They don't give a damn about this problem. How do I know that? Because the Biden-led FBI, I'm sorry. But the agents working over there in the drone division will tell you right now. They had nothing. They had a couple guys, a couple teams, and antiquated equipment.

Folks, threats are up dramatically too. Do you want to go back to the Biden era where they didn't give former President Trump at the time the protection they needed for what I believe were political reasons? And I continue to insist that's true to this day. They did not give, he wasn't the director at the time, Sean Curran, but he was in charge of former President Trump's detail. They did not give him the. protection he needed. And look what happened. There were receipts for that. Sean knows the current

director of the Secret Service. You want to go back to that again? Lethal plotting in the United States. Oh, that threat's not real. Here's Sean Curran himself on 60 minutes. Not only are threats to Secret Service protectees, a lot of them are in the Trump administration, large majority of them, up. They're up dramatically. You want to go back to having these goons in charge defunding the DHS so President Trump gets shot at for the 15,000 freaking time? I'm not going back to that. Vote like your life depends on it. Even if you don't care about your own, vote like his life depends on it because it does. Check this out. How would you describe the current threat environment in this country? It's like we've never seen before. The threats on our full-time protectees are up just over

40% since then they were last year. That's a massive increase. Sean Curran is the 28th director of the United States Secret Service. He told us that since January, there have been 10,000 threats on the people they protect. 10,000 threat cases just this year? And the year's not over. Curran and his deputy director, Matthew Quinn, spoke to 60 Minutes in their first joint interview. What's driving that? Look, I think a lot of it has to do with the internet. You know, people are more accessible. Information is more accessible. It's definitely new to us. Again, you don't believe me. You think Sean's making that up.

You understand like they can foyer this stuff and go, hey, give us that data. You think he's making it up? Risking being humiliated on Capitol Hill by some Democrat. Oh, you just made that up. We foyer it. They're actually down. Vote your wallet. Vote your safe streets.

Vote your closed border. Vote your government deregulation. Get rid of red tape. And vote like your life depends on it. And even if you don't care. about that, which would be weird. Vote like his life depends on it. The president, folks, because it does. They're already talking about government shutdowns, you know, defunding DHS. The Secret Service is under DHS. I know you care about this guy. I do too.

Want to go back to vote your wallet? Because this is what I was talking about last night. I was on Ingram's show. I've been in this business since 2011, so 15, soon to be 16 years. I've been in this a long time as a candidate, an activist, a subject, a cancel culture. I've been called an election denier, a COVID denier. I've been called every bad name by the book. If there's been an issue where leftists of target conservatives, we've been there. Been involved with controversies with freaking COVID where we had to take the lead on it. And you know who called me to back us up?

No, I take that back. One guy, one radio guy. That's it. We've been through the fights. I don't get this. I don't understand how Joe Biden in the midterms, despite a put aside all your personal animus towards his buffoonery. Just pretend Joe Biden was a freaking robot.

Robot Biden. Look at what he did. 9% peak inflation, 5% inflation, open borders. All of the just horrendous spreadsheet crap, this guy put on your plate and demanded you eat, you eat it. And Biden actually had a really, good midterm. Folks, don't let the Democrats beat us. We don't have any of those problems. Trump has fixed a lot of this and is working on the inflation problem. Borders shut, the streets are

safer. Look at this Wall Street Journal article. They don't, the author of this article, by the way, Gerard Baker, I read his stuff, I like it, we disagree on it. I promise you, receipts, go find your own receipts on enough time to go to all his articles. Gerard Baker probably writes more article is critical of President Trump than anything at the Wall Street Journal. Here he is with a piece you need to read. This is super important if you're voting your wallet, which you should. I'm not telling you not to. I'm just asking you to consider national security and public safety to.

The article's called, it's the economy, stupid, the famous Jim Carville line, but how stupid? He notes the latest poll gives Trump a 31% approval rating on the economy. But in June of 2022, at that time President Biden enjoyed, if that's a word, a higher rating of 33%. How is that? Keep this up. How is Joe Biden in a disastrous economy? Oh, no, sorry, the second one.

Yeah, thanks. How was Joe Biden two points ahead? Yes, there's poll bias. How was Joe Biden even close? Here are the numbers. Again, Gerard Baker is no big MAGA guy at all. Look it up yourself. That month, in other words, that month, Joe Biden,

2022. Consumer prices were 9.1% up from a year earlier. 9.1% inflation. That was the highest inflation in 40 years. In the first half of that year, the economy contracted at a rate of just over 1%. We're expanding now, folks. Real wages were falling. And between January of 2021, the Biden presidency in June of 2022, hourly earnings adjusted for inflation fell by over 4%. Here, you want more? How was Biden? The answer is because of media bias and goofballs in the entertainment, popularity, and TikTok influencer community shoveling down your throat.

The rate on a 30-year mortgage under Biden's midterm had almost doubled from 2.6 to 5.1. Average gasoline price is more than doubled from $2.39 to more than $5. The S&P 500 increased just 1% in the first 18 months of the Biden term. and the unemployment rate, as I said before, was the only bright spot at 3.6%. But that's because people had exited the workforce. How the hell was Biden two points better on President Trump with the highest median household income ever measured,

the lowest poverty rate measured in decades, the jobless rate at lows, people coming back down into 500,000 more people entering the workforce, Atlanta Fed predicting 5% GDP next quarter, how the hell, how in Haiti's, Was Biden two points higher? The answer is a lot of people are falling for the propaganda. They just are, folks.

They're not voting on numbers. They're not voting on reality. When I say I don't get it, I understand how left this fall for media crap. They've been doing it forever. They've been vaccinated against facts a long time ago. I get that. What I don't understand are people pretending to be part of our movement,

pretending who are telling others to stay home because Biden and his Democrat crew would be better. I don't understand that. I don't. I know you're here for analysis. I have no analysis for that. I can't. I'm a spreadsheets guy.

I'm a transactional guy. My job is to get you accurate information. I'm also going to break some news here on the show in this next segment. It's really important. There was a story that came out yesterday. I want to show you how fake news works. it involves the Washington Post and a fabricated scandal and I'm going to give you the breaking news

on what really happened with our Pete Hegseth-led Department of War in Pentagon because this is just another effort by Dumerous Dan and others to make you believe that Pete Hegseth and the Department of War I told you they would start with me and they're just going to move on to other cabinet officials to get you to stay home. This is important.

And news media people, Washington Post, you better listen up to what comes next. This is a good scoop here. Folks, quick break and we'll be right back. Recently, my wife and I were sitting at the kitchen table going over our finances. In the future, we both agreed that getting help to protect our family had to be part of the conversation too. You know, I'm into preparedness, life preparedness. It's important.

I don't like the anxiety about what can come in the future. I want to reduce it. That's why life insurance is really important to me, given my history. Preparedness matters.

you should never trust the media. You want accurate information. Come to this show. We will always get it for you. If I'm wrong, we'll fix it. Folks, I had to tell you a lot of things here, and yet be that we're true. They're not comfortable for everyone.

I'm never going to lie to you, period, ever. I don't care what podcast the stand says and other people, what I see and what I believe to be true, I'm going to tell you. I saw this on Jake Tapperson, I thought this can't possibly be right, so I did a little bit of homework. It was about a Washington Post article that suggests somehow that the Pentagon and Department of War are hiding casualties over from Iran. Washington Post, exclusive.

All they need is like the siren breaking. More American service members have died in the Middle East during the ongoing Iran War than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly, according to six U.S. officials familiar with the data. So Secretary Hegseth responds, this is disgusting and fake, a complete lie, shame on the Washington Post, it worse than the Iranian state media. So I did a little homework on this. Now, I want you to understand that this is being portrayed as some huge scandal by the Secretary of War and the Trump administration to hide from you the tragic death or casualties

involving our heroes and patriots. Ladies and gentlemen, if the media had done the simple homework I did, Washington Post, Dan is not a journalist. He is an opinion host. However, I'm sorry I had to do your homework, but I'm going to fix your story for you. Folks, there are two systems that the military uses to support casualties and casualties that are pending adjudication. In other words, was it a casualty?

What happened? There's a process. The first is the defense casualty analysis system. This didn't even take that long. This is a public-facing system where once there's adjudication, they put out the number publicly. There is an internal system as well called the defense civilian intel personnel system. That's the system where the casualties first reported. They were changing categories and making it for pending adjudication.

So before they put it out to the public, they just want to be sure the information is accurate. Oh my gosh. What a scandal. You see how if you read the Washington Post, tie in it back to my economic segment. How did Biden have a better approval rating on the economy, despite absolutely disqualification, disastrous numbers? The answer is because of the Washington Post and others that lie to you or lie by implication that there's a major scandal going on at the Pentagon when in fact it's nothing more than two separate systems because they have to adjudicate the casualties. You see how they do this

with a wink and a nod to make it to look at how Pete Hanks said, man, they're like they're hiding stuff. They don't want none of that's happening. You made the whole scandal implication up. Folks, these people are gross, man. They're just disgusting. And I'm here to give you hard, accurate truth all the time. It doesn't matter what we want to hear. It matters. What matters is what's true.

That way, we don't fall into the trap of stupid people who think Joe Biden's abomination of an economy who's better than Trump's, despite not a single data point to back that up. Not even close. Want to hear some hard truth about something I had a revelation? I told you, I was wrong on the matter. I have no problem telling you. I was not a death penalty supporter.

My gosh, this has been a topic for 10 years. I was not. I had a, maybe I was, I don't know what happened, man. I just, I had a major awakening getting back into law enforcement and understanding that rehabilitation is just not an option for some people. The danger's just too great.

I changed my mind. I don't change my mind on a lot of things, but I'm not when he's leftist idiots who marries themselves to a stupid idea when the data says otherwise. There are some people that can't be fixed. Carl Higby is a friend of mine. Patriots served in our military and a special forces unit

has a show on Newsmax. Here's Carl Higby, and I agree with them 100% with some really hard truth. That's tough to hear about our death penalty. It's one of the reasons I changed my mind too. Check this out.

We're so back. We've gone from drag queens prancing around on aircraft carriers to executing terrorists by firing squad. Put this in my veins. Let me tell you why I support this. Because an American military

officer turned his gun on his fellow service members in the name of Islam, including standing over a nine-month pregnant mother and shooting her. I want him to die in the most painful death imaginable. I want all of these people that believe the same things to see it happen. And to the left that is freaking out about this, you people freak out about everything. So I don't really care. I'd also remind you that we just had an entire trial of a mother who killed her three children and the same lives spashing. out over executing a terrorist, wanted that woman acquitted. Stop it. The same party that kills millions of babies every year through abortion is going to clutch their pearls about

shooting a terrorist in the face. That's about the least genuine thing I have ever heard. Do you want accurate information that doesn't try to put like lipstick on it? The world's a complicated place with really difficult answers to really difficult problems. What do you do with serial murderers. What do you do with people that kill and torture kids? You go there, you're going to, you're going to just hope and pray. You know what? I mean, can I tell you just, I hate this, but this is, it's really important. I don't watch a lot of shows or series. I just don't. Most of them are liberal. I told you yesterday. I watched two, three episodes, some stupid liberal stuff happens. But one of the shows in the past I used to like was the

Walking Dead. It got towards the end that just like got crazy and I just ignored it. It's a show about, you know, zombies. You probably heard of it, whatever. But there's this scene. It's a pretty powerful scene in the show where, do you remember Shane, the guy who plays a Punisher now? I don't know his name, but they have these zombies locked up in a barn.

And they live their lives in fear of these zombies getting out. And like that's, I think, the privilege, I think even me, even I fell for. Like, oh, you know, these people are dangerous, but don't worry. Like, there's the potential for rehabilitation and they won't really get up. Well, what if they do? What if there's some cyber attack on prisons and they open up the walls and these people get out? All of a sudden, all those luxuries go away.

Well, there's a scene in the walking dead. It's like seven, ten years old. Am I going to ruin it for you? Where Shane's like, I've had enough, cracks the lock in a barter, and just they shoot every one of the zombies. even one of the zombies who happens to be one of the ladies young daughters. Sophia. Do you remember that scene?

They didn't have an eye. We're not options. We can't act like we have a luxury anymore with these people. And all these folks who want to do it and be cute about it. Like, oh, we got to do it by injection because it looks cute or isn't painful. You're wrong too. This is a must read article. I don't give homework, but please check this out.

It's by a retired federal judge, Alex Kaczynski. It's not by some like fringe figure in the movement. He says the case for firing squads. What? He says appearances aren't reality with lethal injection. It's a terrible choice practically and philosophically. It borrows medicine's costume without the people and safeguards that make medicine work. Physicians are barred by the AMA from participating in executions.

Similar constraints apply to nurses. So what happens? The job falls to law enforcement personnel. who are not in the medical field, who have to obtain the drugs, find a vein, insert a catheter, administer the substances in the right quantities and sequence. And if the first attempt fails, they try again. In the case of this Woods person, 14 times. The supply of these chemicals makes the matters worse.

Drug manufacturers don't want to sell their products for executions, so states have resorted to Rube Goldberg-like schemes to obtain drugs from abroad, sometimes under false pretenses or have used these drugs that are expired or improperly stored. The state wants the appearance of a modern medical procedure, but can't reliably obtain the materials or expertise that real medicine requires. All because we want to be cute about it. Well, it looks better. It doesn't look better to the people who've gotten the injection 14 times and the lady that's still alive.

You're not going to make the mistake with a firing squad. And we've got to cut to crap and dance around this and pretend like, you know, oh, well, if it looks better, folks, the world is full of level 10 decisions, bad answers and worse answers. That's what makes leaders like you so valuable. It's why corporations pay big bucks to really good CEOs and they've got to get rid of crappy ones when shareholders want them out. It's why in the military, you know, a four-star elite general can change the course of

history. Real leaders are hard to find. Real leaders excel under stress when there are level 10 decisions available because they're not afraid to give people accurate, hard truths, even when it doesn't sound good or cute. This election is not one of those. This is an easy choice on the economy, on national security, on on SI, on our AI-S-I intelligence frontier. Folks, there's a lot we don't know about this. And there are dangers ahead. will always give you both sides. Full disclosure I've given before, I am an investor in a number of different AI-oriented,

SI-oriented platforms that will never stop me from giving you both sides. I want to give you kind of a good and a bad here on this SI future, that if we don't handle it right, could be really dangerous. Folks, Elon has been on our side on a lot of these issues, and even though he's heavily invested in the AI-SI space through GROC, Elon, same as, I'm not invested the level he is, obviously. I didn't even close. He's like a trillioner.

I assure you, I'm not a trillioner. However, he's not in any way hesitating to warn people about certain things, too. I got to tell you, I didn't see this one coming. Here's Elon about human beings going back and forth with these AISI systems and basically antagonizing them. And Elon's like, hey, man, they're not people, obviously, but that's really not a good idea. I've looked at the chat logs. We don't want to make an enemy out of this thing. I have not looked at chat logs.

He has, but I'd take his word for it. Check this out. I do agree with some of the things that Anthropica said, which is like you want to be, you want to sort of treat AISI, you want to treat it well? Like don't be abusive to it. And in this, it's,

it sounds kind of weird, but like, when I look at some of the training traces for, toward like new versions of gronk and i see like what especially in like the reinforcement learning stuff where you know you it kind of feels like you can see like like the the super intelligence is like desperate to try to answer the question and like it's it's really wants to answer the question and it's it's it seems almost like it's like it's got like a gun to its head type of thing

and it just feels like a person under extreme pressure with a gun to their head is what that's what you when you read the reasoning it's like it's It's like a sort of weird, desperate situation. And you read these traits, and you're like, man, if this was me, I really would hate that. And then some users are just, you know, I don't know, some people can be a little bit cruel. Like, not everyone's a nice person, you know? That's also the kind of thing where, like, you know, torturing a superintelligence is probably not a good idea. You know, it might want to get revenge or something like that, you know.

He's just telling you the truth. If we're going to work with the system to give it accurate feedback and information, it's probably not a good idea to torture it, especially when there may be some dangers in the system we don't know about. I bring that up because the good news is we've got a president in charge, despite the protestations of some people in op-ed columns, who continue to insist the president doesn't understand, President Trump, of course, the dangers of out-of-control

SI. That's just not true. That's just not true. The people he has working on this task force, from Vice President Vance to Secretary HigSat, to Emil Michael, who you're going to see here in this clip from the Secretary of Wars Department. These are serious people who are every single day looking at a way to contain this so it produces for human beings

and doesn't produce bad negative outcomes. Check this out. What we're doing on the President's Super Intelligence Task Force is working with the AI model companies, both the closed source model companies and the open source ones, and the cyber defenders. I think you had DNI, Jay Clayton on yesterday

with the Palo Alto network CEO, and there's CrowdStrike, there's other companies that do cyber defense. And we're working with the AI companies to make sure that we have an understanding of what's happening, so they give us real time or near real time information about what's happening with their software,

and then working with the cyber defenders to ensure that they're hardening the network of our critical industries and infrastructure. And I think we, the United States, is going to be the most protected company against cyber attacks because President Trump had the foresight to create the cyber intelligence force that I'm a proud member of.

Again, what do you think he's just making that up? Amel, Michael, like President Trump's not taking it seriously. He's sitting there twiddling his thumbs in the Oval Office Desk Resolute, right? The U.S. Resolute's sitting there. He's got the brightest minds in the world working on this. You talk to the left again and even some people on the right.

Like, ah, guys whistling past the graveyard. He's not taking it seriously. Oh, okay, man, whatever. You're just making that up. None of that's actually true. We will always give you both sides of this because I don't want some catastrophe either. Speaking of accurate information, you guys remember Mikey running for Congress? We love Mike.

Mike's good man. So Mike's running for Congress out in Wisconsin. We had him on the show. Michael Alfonso, of course. He was married to a Vita. Vita used to host the show here. We all loved Vita Vita's working with, obviously, get Mike elected. So Mike is involved in a heated campaign right now.

I think he's in really good position to win. But Mikey had a pretty good debate moment. And I say this because I'm not telling you he learned this from me, but one of the things, if you're ever going to run for officer, be an activist, I've said this over and over. campaigns are about sound bites you're going to see that here it's a really good one for him snapshots Mikey kind of looks like a congressman the other guy i'm not so sure is my opinion and contrasts one of the best ways to create a contrast and to get the audience to think is to

avoid what assertions if you ask i know it doesn't sound logical it sounds like if you're running for office you should just assert a lot of things i'm going to do this i'm going to do this one of the best ways to create and paint a contrast is to not make assertions, is to ask questions. Because when you ask questions, people who don't even like you can't stop their brain from wanting to answer it. Mikey employs all three here. I want you to look if you're watching a video, you'll see the snapshot, you'll hear the soundbite, you'll see the contrast, and you'll see how he uses tactically a question over an assertion. This is really good. Check this out. talk about platitudes all day, but do you know what the Department of Education is responsible for?

Boys and Girls Bathrooms. In New Richmond, Wisconsin, and Ella Fry would like to know. Do you support that? You support the Department of Education. Do you support boys and girls' bathrooms? You done with your comment? Mr. Clark, response to that? I know that's an issue that's really important to you, and you think about that and talk about that a lot. I want to see a federal government get out of the way so that local school districts can make those decisions because they know the communities and they know the kids that they serve. So if we want to talk about not having a federal government

that's overreaching, not having a federal government that sets rules and regulations, I don't think the federal government needs to be in the business of deciding who uses what bathrooms. I trust teachers and school administrators and parents to make that decision in their community schools. What a stupid answer? Monlees for Mikey.

But at least for Mikey. That was a great, Mike, good job. I was strong. I was strong. Getting to him to give that. I know this is an issue important to you. Yeah, yeah, I don't know why. I have a young child at home and I don't want some dude walking in the bathroom.

I don't know. But he's in the church. Folks, I try to make this show worth it solved for the tactical component. Listen, I ran for office. I didn't win. I learned a ton. I wrote a whole book about falling on my face and learning a whole bunch of life lessons from it, dusting off and doing other things.

and what's one of the best lessons ever. Snapshots, soundbites, contrasts, avoid assertions, ask questions, and you'll see you'll get moments like that. The optics of that are just classic, too, by the way. That guy looks clueless. He doesn't know that I know that an important issue. Yeah, I wonder why.
