All the time. On the side of freedom and liberty, your voice of hope and truth is here. The Bonino Report, PM, with Dan Bonino. Not a good weekend, Jim. Not a good weekend. You're going to ask me why? Oh, I know why. You know why.

Folks, you know I love me some Auburn Tigers football, and I thought we had one, man. I thought we had one. I thought we were going to pull it out. I even texted Jim, I'm like, is it, is it happen? I should have known. I jinxed it. I jinxed it.

I, see, I caused the loss. It's my fault. It's my fault. Up at halftime. Congratulations, by the way, to Tennessee fans. I, you know, love all our SEC folks out there. You're always been so great to me. Every time I go to games, even the away fans, you're really awesome.

But, man, I thought we had one. It really, I was in such a good, mood too. I was, I was like, it was Saturday. I had this friend of mine over. He owns a local restaurant. And we were having such a good time. It was one of those, you know, there was some mild social, uh, so what do they call, uh, what do they call vodka sodas or tequila or mild social lubricants or whatever. So we were all like in a great, nobody was driving anywhere. And it was just a great. And I know, Auburn, man. Oh, you're killing me. We got to get it together. Listen, important stuff coming up. We are about a month out from an election. I take

that back. We're actually not a month out because early voting has already begun. So we're already in the early voting stages. And I'm going to get to this throughout today's show today. The point I've been trying to make and I'm going to drive home over the next 30 days because it's critical. This is a contrast election. Your choices are A or B. They're binary. You know, there were a lot of people who wish we had more of a parliamentarian type system where there were multiple parties and pluralities and representatives and a prime that's not what we have i don't like that system i prefer our republic however the two-party system is the worst system in the world despite every other system right that's it's it's the most imperfect system despite every other one right we have a choice

it is a contrast election and i am encouraging you and i've got receipts coming up so please don't go anywhere. Incoming data and receipts that whoever's telling you and hyping up this narrative that the blue tsunami evidence is everywhere, forget it, Republicans stay home, don't show what everyone's going to lose, it's going to be 400 plus wins on the House side. The data, the actual receipts, do not back that up. They don't. It's not just my opinion. When you look at early voting, voting numbers. We'll get into that. When you look at polling data, voter enthusiasm, they do not back that up. And in a contrast election where you have choice A or choice B, you're never going to get everything you want. And I don't say that, I don't say that in any way

to minimize the experience of people out there who say, listen, I've got some concerns. like I fueled up my tank, the gas prices are, those are absolutely critical, legitimate concerns. However, you've got a president committed to energy production in the United States and rebuilding our domestic production capabilities. And he's done such an amazing job. I'll show you the incoming later on. Natural gas production has now reached the highest levels in the United States we've had in eons. So you've got a president committed to a pro-energy agenda, getting more assets in the pipeline so the costs come down. And then you've got the Democrat party out there. You know, I've never called them Democratic because they're not led by a bunch of anti-fossil

fuel tyrants. They're actively suing in the Supreme Court right now, the city of Boulder, to make sure natural gas companies basically get litigated out of business. How the hell is that going to lower your gas prices? The answer? It will not. It will not. Folks, I'll put this president's two-year record and the party. warts and all. I'll put the two-year record up against any two-year record, any two-year record of any president, Republican or Democrat. Crime crushed the border.

Think about what we were handed. I mean, the context of this matters. I know it matters to you. We were handed this administration, you know, me included the first year I was there. We were handed a mess. A completely weaponized justice system. you know, we had to unload about 10% of the workforce and then produce, you know, 50, 60% more results with fewer people because we had to get rid of so many people.

The border, the border was a total mess. 20 million people in the country. There were not enough federal agents in the first month to deport everyone all at once, but the record numbers of deportations and the control of the border have unquestionably stemmed a hemorrhaging wound. The economic numbers, median house. household income, highest it's ever been, jobless rate, lowest in decades, poverty rate, lowest in decades, a manufacturing renaissance. Here's the shame of this whole thing. The shame of this whole thing is

that the numbers that are coming in on the GDP. GDP is our, it's basically a measure of what we produce. What we produce makes us rich. That's what makes us rich. Producing medicines, healthcare, housing, that's what makes us rich. Gross domestic product. The numbers predicted for the next quarter, which may be too late if people vote for Democrats in Hollywood elitist. I'll get to that in a second. Sadly, they may come in. I know, Jim, you can tell me. That's all right. Inside joke. The numbers that are going to come in, sadly, are probably going to come in after the election. And if we vote wrong or don't show up and hand the party to the anti-growth alternative, I think there's going to be buyers remorse immediately. I really do.

you're going to see on day one, forget about affordability. Folks are already telling you what they're going to do. Raise your taxes, which is going to make your life less affordable. Oh, yeah, that's coming up. Oh, yeah, we're going to back that up. And they're going for impeachment. That's it. How is this going to make your life any better?

The answer is only going to make it worse. We've already been down this road. You know, I have that book, The Road Less Travel. This is the book The Road More Travel. We've been down this road. We've been down the Democrat Road, 9% inflation, open borders, defund the police. we've already been down this road. Don't do it again.

Please. It's like, you don't like, remember that old show, Beavis and said, but I used to love that show. I don't know why. It was like mindless TV back

and it started on Liquid TV on MTV. So those of you remember that. Remember the coach? Kick me into gym. How many times you're going to get kicked? It hurts. It doesn't feel good.

You can't. Kick me in the Jimmy. Don't do it, man. Here's your choice, too. Think about, the lunatics where all the energy is on the democrat side singers hollywood multi-millionaire elitist aOC bernie sanders pocahontas mom dame these people some of them are outright communists some of them are like neo-communists that are communists with better tic-tacac accounts and you've got

people like robert deniro who actively support every single lunatic crazy this guy lost us my If there was a guy who like something, you know, screw loose, this screw isn't loose. It just popped out. Nobody can find it. This guy's lost his mind. Here's De Niro, a rich, multi, multi-millionaire. He could donate all his money to illegals and do all the stuff.

He doesn't do that, of course, you know. He could take in a bunch of illegals. Has he? I mean, the De Niro camp, just email us and show us your receipts of all the money you've given to illegals and all this other stuff. Here he is going after President Trump again. A guy who didn't only like have a screw loose. The screw is lost, fell down a sewer drain, and flushed down the toilet bowl, okay?

This guy's lost his mind. You want to put these people back in charge? Come on, come on, man. We're not doing that. Check this out. When mask and armed ice thugs stalk our polling places, what do we say to them? Keep your fucking hands off our vote. And when that coward, that fucking piece of shit, Donald Trump tries to take our voice and power away,

What do we tell him? Your fucking hands off our vote. I think they got the message. Now, with your commitment and support, we won't just send them a message. We're going to send them away. Take back the House. Yes. Take back the Senate.

Yes. Take back the power. Yes. Yes. Take back our country. Yes. Thank you. Jim, I hesitate to go down this path.

Not because there's anything weird or even remotely inappropriate, but not interesting. I just hate it because whenever any host or content creator, podcast, radio, TV, it doesn't really matter, talks about tough guys or great. It always comes off like you're pretending to be the tough guy. I am not. Can I just get a disclaimer on this right away?

Jim, asterisks, please. I am not. I am a 51-year-old guy with really bad osteoarthritic joints. who even at the end of the podcast when he gets up, his own producers and production staff laugh at him because it takes me like 30 seconds to get out of the chair. I am not the tough guy. I'm not pretending to be tough.

I don't want to pretend to be tough. I'm not interested. Do you don't have to test me? You win. There you go. You're tougher. Whoever, I don't care if it's your three-year-old nephew. Yes, they're tougher.

I'm not interested in that. I'm just telling you, like Jim, having grown up in New York back in the day when it was a different place. It wasn't as crazy as it is now. there were a lot of, it was a Democrat place, it was a lot of union workers and stuff. But it was never as crazy as it was now.

Illegal immigration, I think, destroyed a lot of what the old New York was. But there were a lot of genuinely tough guys. Like they would just fight a lot. And whether they won or lose didn't really matter. I talked about this guy. It was his birthday this weekend, by the way, his 50th.

My friend Vinnie. I talk about Vinny. It's like my cousin, like they like the movie, except he's my friend, not my cousin, right? De Niro is like, I think he thinks his movie character, Jimmy from Goodfellas, the Bronx Tale, that I think he thinks that's really him. Now, the thing in New York is there's a corrective mechanism. Like if you, for instance, if you were in Sally O's, which was a bar in Sunnicide, we used to

hang out. And some of you, I may be bringing back some old memories, right? Sally O's. Sally O's was his bar. We would hang out. And we bring this guy, Vinny. And Vinny was, I don't know what he is. like 5-5. He's not really that tall. And he's maybe 120 pounds soaking wet. But he was a little

crazy. And I'm still friends with him to this day. He was like legitimately like tough. I don't recall him ever winning any fights, but it didn't matter. I really don't because he didn't really view it that way. He just viewed fighting as the win. You know what I'm talking about Jim? The fighting was the win. So we'd go to Sally O's and someone would always test them. They would like throw ice at him or something from across the bar. And then he'd be like, where's Vinny? I walk outside, Salio. Vinny's got a stop sign that had fallen off the ground.

You know what a stop sign weighs? It's like 200 pounds. Like the pole, too, I'm not just talking about like the sign. And it had broken in half. He's got the pole like a fishing rod. And he's like swinging it around, like hitting like these four guys who he's fighting at the same time in the middle of like a New York City bus stop. Like those were guys like that were everywhere in New York.

De Niro's like the fake talk. guy. He thinks because he played a New York guy in movies that if he curses really loud, like people, let me drop a few out. I drop us some F-bombs too. It's a thing. But that's, this is who you're going to turn the country over to these freaking lunatics. They run the party, folks. This is where the energy is on the left with the lunatics. And here's the crazy thing. It's not just that they're lunatics. It's that they're really stupid. No. Yes. No. No, no. They're actors. They clearly know more than me. I love how people who act for a living, like, they fake it for a living. Somehow people believe, like, who they're pretending to be is the actual

person. No, no. This guy pretended to be Oppenheimer in a movie. Surely he's a nuclear physicist. He is not. He is not. You, here, receipts come coming here. Mark Ruffalo, who plays Dr. Banner in the Marvel movies, like the really smart Hulk guy. You know, is it Bruce Banner or whatever it is. I don't know. The Bruce, they changed it for the TV show. David, you can read the story. It's actually kind of hilarious. However, he plays a really smart, like a scientist-type guy, right? Here's Mark Rivalo, so dumb. This guy's a far-left lunatic, and he goes out there,

and he effectively makes the case for the SAVE Act in voter integrity. Wait, I thought he's a leftist. He doesn't even know he's doing it because he's really dumb. Check this out. How we need to be on guard for what we may not see coming. Elon. That's the cybersecurity of these elections. And while I'm not an expert, I've been talking to experts.

And the one thing I've heard repeatedly is that there is a vulnerability of the votes when they're transferred from the polling places to the county headquarters and then to the states. Now that's three times those tallies are being transferred over the internet, over the wire, over our phone. loans, we know that these systems are vulnerable. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Banner, aka Mark Ruffalo,

for making the case for voter integrity of the save act. Inadvertently, because you're too dumb to figure it out. Our systems are vulnerable. Maybe we should do something. I don't know, like the save act, like what Donald Trump's been talking about. Folks, you got a choice in this election. We got about a little over like 20 days left. Voting's happening right now.

please do not hand over the country to these absolute psychopaths please especially guys like Robert dinner who I swear he really believes he's that that Jimmy character from Goodfellas you're not Bob you're not and he's like 95 years old which I love seniors they've been to a lot more than me but not this guy he's an embarrassment to seniors everywhere more coming up next folks we are living through as a movement this MAGA movement what happens at the midpoint of any effective political movement is you get people within the movement who may have had access to the past through clout or a position they may have had not necessarily the same thing. Some have clout and a position they had, but some just had one or the other.

And they realize that it can be very lucrative to use that past clout or present clout or influence or former position. this is a phenomenon is old as time, it's not new, to pull the movement in a direction that may not be a good one. Do you get where I'm going with this? Like, there are a lot of people out there, especially foreign actors who would like nothing more than to see the MAGA movement completely destroyed.

The barn burned down, the animals killed, everything. They want to see, and they realize that they can use some mercenaries on the inside to advance that agenda. And what they're doing is a particularly, I think, effective tactic for some, not for people who see through it. And it's been such a beautiful morning today to watch all these people just get exposed and just, I mean, to watch just like the rock turnover and like the ants and the worms, everything scurrying and like the rats as the light comes on is just like glorious to watch. It's like, hey, I warned you. Oh, look. It happened.

Oh, my gosh. He was right. I know, I know. But what they do is they use this leftist model of just persistent gaslighting. In other words, lie to people, openly lie to them. Lie confidently. Lie confidently like, you're sure it's true. Lie often enough that the false story you've told people, the concrete tries and people

actually believe the lie. But importantly, you have to isolate people from the truth. And that's what a lot of these social media mini-ecosystems have done. And it's kind of contaminated a little bit this movement on the right. Not much. But you see, I call them the Folex Maga, the fake MAGA people that just say a bunch of crazy things. Let's impeach Pete Hague said that us. They attack Patel and me all the time.

Like they do it because most of it is an agenda. And the agenda is not making America great again. I promise you. But there's a leftist model for doing that. And what it does is it eventually can take. contaminates the whole ecosystem and destroys the whole thing from the inside. And that's the goal of a lot of foreign actors who finance a lot of this stuff, is to destroy the movement from the inside so that nobody trusts anyone ever.

Listen, I'll address this later with a really uncomfortable topic, but something you and I really need to talk about. Folks, I know, I know the host say, oh, tune in later. This is really important. But I really mean it. If you can't check out my podcast today where I covered it too, if you happen to miss it later. It's at rumble.com slash bonjino if you want to listen to today's episode.

I really need you to hear this. You're seeing it with the FBI as well, something I obviously have direct experience. The last few days have of revelations that the leadership team of the FBI, including us, found and put out there for you to see. We wanted you to see what was done in your name. You're the taxpayer. You paid for it. and massive changes were made.

But I'm not sitting here telling you in some utopian, Polyanish view that, hey man, none of this can change back. Everything's been fixed. Don't worry. That's, I'm not telling you that at all.

I'm telling you that some of the stuff that happened there was so destructive that we're going to have a uncomfortable but necessary conversation later. And I please encourage you to, to tune next. in. Like I said, if you miss it, please check out the podcast. But I want to show you how we got here. You have an entity out there that the founding fathers of this amazing country, we call the US of A, there's an entity out there. The founding fathers deemed so important, they were given their own specific carve out in the Bill of Rights. No, in actual carve out. You know, Jim,

there's not a, I love carpenters and truckers, but there's not a, I love carpenters and truckers, but there's no freedom of carpenters or freedom of truckers. You have freedoms just like any other things. But that specific, bro, look at it. Jim's even got a hard copy right there. He keeps with everything. Jim, can you turn to the Bill of Rights? And is there a part of there?

Can you just check us? I don't know. I haven't read it in a while. I may have missed it. I don't know. Getting all a little bit of like memory loss kicking in. Isn't there a part about freedom of the press and the media? It says something, I think, right?

Amendment one. Wait, wait, stop. It's in the first one? Yes. Like this is the first thing they thought about. Yes. Okay, what does it say? I'll just checking.

Congress, you'll make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. Or, what do the kids say? Bro, B-R-U-H, bro. Really? Man, that's it. I didn't even know.

You know, and I joined the FBI and swore out. It hadn't read in a while. That's good to know. Thanks, Jim. So the press was deemed so important to a functioning republic that faith in the institutions of government and elsewhere could not possibly sustain itself. And fidelity to the country and its institutions couldn't possibly sustain itself unless there was a check on all three branches of government, which Jim, you and I both was the media. They felt the media would be that check. Public exposure would be enough to at least attempt to keep. these people in line. Well, you have to ask yourself a question. Well, what happens when the

entity given a special carve out in the Constitution becomes corrupt itself? The answer is where we are right now. We're eight out of ten Americans don't trust the media and nobody trusts anything anymore. And you get some Grifteron X, Joey Bag of Donuts 22, who jumps in there and he goes, you know, free John Q public. Is there any evidence? No, there's not. Nobody trusts anyone. So they'll fall for anything. How did we get here? it happened last night. They call this in the business. I like to pull the curtain back, okay?

In the business, they'll call this like a news peg. Well, what made me think of this? What happened in the news, Dan, that made you think about the loss in faith in institutions, the media, government, everything. Well, this happened. Yesterday, the disgusting L.A. Times put out a tweet, suggesting that Donald Trump

in a speech he gave yesterday out West had said that, you know, he wanted loss, Angeles and San Diego destroyed like by a nuclear weapon or something. There was some like implication that that's what he said. And I was like, you know, Jim, I know it's the LA Times. So I was like, come on, man, that can't possibly be true. So I had to do a little bit of homework. I said, Jim, can you do me a favor?

I said, can you pull a news report here and find out what's really going on? Because President Trump loves this country. And that sounds like the media is making it up again, like the fine people hoax in their whole. Stay tuned for that. So Jim did a little bit of homework. And here's a news report we came up with yesterday. We were like, wow, even the San Diego mayor and all these people.

involved like this is crazy. Trump wants to blow up LA and San Diego. This is so nuts. Check this out. This morning, President Trump facing growing criticism after suggesting Iran could quote, take out Los Angeles or San Diego to American cities run by Democrats. They can take out a city. Let him take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay and it's going to be over with very soon. Those comments sparking fierce back. backlash from Democratic leaders in California. Governor Gavin Newsom calling President Trump deranged and dangerous. The mayor of San Diego, Todd Gloria, writing, San Diego is not collateral damage. We are not expendable, and we are never a small price to pay. And L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, adding, the role of a president is to

protect the country, not to actively threaten it and encourage attacks on American lives. They're convincing, right, Jim? I mean, Jim and I listen, we're like, oh my gosh, we should chastise, President Trump. Get the paddleboard out, like in third grade when you were in like the 20s and 30s. This is really horrible. So I said, Jim, if it sounded to me, I'd call me crazy, like President Trump was being like sarcastic, like we had to do something about Iran because they could take out a major city like L.A. or saying, that's what it sounded like to me. So I said, Jim, can you pull the original comments? And this is so crazy. Our success rate is 100% the media success rate is zero. It sounds like we were right again. Jim, play what actually happened.

Check this out. You want to see a tremendous victory because it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember, with the word, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.

This is a very small price to pay. And it's going to be over with very soon. It's essentially almost over with. So when you hear the whole thing. if you're not a freaking lunatic, and some people choose the lunacy route, I don't know if it's a brain preon or a virus you got infected with. I'm not really sure. I was given the immunity against liberal stupidity early.

It's pretty clear to me that President Trump is making the case, that these problems that are temporary with the fuel markets or elsewhere were worth it because we have to win this war against the Iran. because they wanted to take out in American city. Now, again, I know you're not interested in the truth, so this isn't going to convince a single liberal listening that's like, that's not what he said, man. He said, blow up L.A. and San Diego.

Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. I know in your bumper sticker world of stupid, you probably have your tiny little car there, and it says, like, because you can't, God, for a bit of anything big that actually uses gas like a Dodge Viper. I know the bumper sticker says, like, coexist, tolerance, and you probably believe that.

You're probably the same guy who fell for the fine people hoax, too. Remember this reminder of what it sounds like when you take the president's words out of context? Here's a news report about President Trump, who allegedly called a bunch of white supremacist fine people. I'm like, did he say that? My gosh, that sounds so bad. Check this out. Some of the people marching alongside Nazis and the clan in Charlottesville were, quote, very fine people, President Trump said, as he drew a line of moral equivalent. between white supremacists and those who protested the white supremacists.

This is the president who said there were, quote, very fine people on both sides in a Charlottesville neo-Nazi clan march. White supremacists, the president seems to struggle when called upon to specifically and unequivocally criticize those groups. Now, that's a hat tip Mays Moore for that great account on X. That's really bananas, because I remember hearing that live time, and just like the president who was clearly being sarcastic about as need to take out the Iranians before they take out in American city. In other words, he was saying the opposite of what the news report said. This happened too.

There are still people listening in this vast listening audience, thanks to you, that I promise you believe that that's true, that the president called white supremacists, very fine people. Well, here's what the president actually said. And this may be the first time you're hearing this, if you're a lunatic. He actually said the opposite. I mean, actually, literally said the opposite. And I hate the word literally.

Check this out. You're changing history. You're changing culture. And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. So, Jim, that's not AI, correct?

That's actually President Trump. Because I did hear that live, right? That is him, yes. Okay, that is him, correct? where he says, I'm not talking about the white nationalists and who should be condemned totally. Just as words, you can go and rewind the tape yourself and actually listen to it if you choose.

I know you won't. You're a liberal because you want to pull your hair out. I understand that. You like to like, you know, load up the diaper because it makes you up like, oh, look, we did it. You didn't do it. You did it. You didn't do anything other than it.

And it was under it. I want to be involved in. And remember, that's why Joe Biden ran for president. He said, yes, and inspired him. It probably did because Joe Biden doesn't remember anything anyway and probably just forgot the part where he said, I'm not talking about, he probably actually did forget that. Why have people lost faith in institutions?

Stay tuned, because after the break, I got one more coming up for you that you were told happened to. President Trump told people to storm the capital and ripped a place to shreds. Forget about peaceful and patriotic. And I was not exactly what he said again. we have the audio we can play for you. Why have people lost faith in institutions?

Because the institutions lost faith in the truth. We'll be right back. Folks, this is a national security election. It's going to be the theme of today's show. I know and I understand when you listen to polling data from people, and even if you factor in that most of the polls are probably off and wrong, when you factor it in, National security, depending on the poll,

is in some polls, isn't even like a top five, top ten issue. That to me is disturbing having spent an entire lifetime in law enforcement, whether it was EMIPD, Secret Service, or FBI. If we don't have good, solid, stable public safety in our streets and a strong, you know, well-financed military with the latest weapons to ward off the demons among us, And folks, the tax rates don't matter. They don't.

None of it matters. We'll all be speaking Mandarin. It doesn't matter. I bring this up in, because in this, on this anniversary of, again, looking at what real demonic savagery look like on October 7th, not that long ago, we should be reminded that there is a party out there. That is, it's, I get it. I get it.

I hate to say that it's not perfect. Of course it's not perfect. But there is a party out there. where the ridiculous concept that evil isn't real, the Islam fanatics are somehow freedom fighters, that's just not welcome on the Republican side. The terror sympathizer wing of the party has sadly, said, not all of them, not even close to them,

but there is a spot for you in the Democrat Party. That's just inexcusable. Not only that, you're seeing again the promotion of massive amounts of adjut-prop propaganda against the president and his national security crackdown, NSPM 7 and elsewhere. NSPM 7 was a national security presidential memorandum where I was there.

I was at the FBI when it happened. Where the president said, we're just not going to allow politically motivated violence on the streets anymore. You're Antifa. You're going to go in there and start cracking people's skulls open. Oh, man, we're just here for George Floyd. You weren't there for George Floyd.

You weren't there for anything other than chaos. You're going to go to jail. Antifa, those arrests. first prosecutions in U.S. history. BLM, the Black Lives Matter, that fraud case, the Southern Poverty Law Center case. These were all efforts to say, no, no more of this stuff. And then you've got people who are going to run for president in the United States, like the absolutely dreadful governor of California,

who has nothing to run on if you would have designed a spreadsheet, President Trump versus Gavin Newsom, economy, health care, education, public safety, military, regulations, fuel prices. He loses on every single. one by the widest of margins. The cell in the Excel spreadsheet is blinking red like, wow, this is a really big difference. Newsom hair gel in California is one of the worst state executives we've ever seen in modern times. What gets this guy credibility on the national level in a presidential election amongst lunatic

liberal media people and others out there is he just looks the part. That's it. That's the only thing he has going for him. I mean, I could even debate that. Listen, I had a face for 80 or something. I'm not going to get out of it. Certainly not going to battle looks with Gavin News. I'm just telling you that's the only thing that saves this guy is he's a slick talker who looks the part and he's got the hair gel to benefit.

Folks, today should be a reminder that national security is on the ballot just 20 plus days from now in the midterms. Your national security matters. Your Second Amendment rights coming up later. Don't miss that. your safe streets Donald Trump delivered to you the safest streets you've had in American history

murder rates collapsing FTO designations foreign terror organizations for cartels killing your kids with fentanyl death dropping to all time lows that is on the ballot here's who's going to be on the ballot in the presidential race here's Gavin Newsom

now I found this particular audio clip really disgusting because when the riots broke out in California and were crushed almost instantly at the ice facilities and elsewhere. I was your deputy director of the FBI and I was on a trip somewhere and was, it was an event that I had taken a trip to. It was a personal event. It was just in Florida. It wasn't far. But the event got canceled for me because, you know, your job comes first.

It's not nobody's victim. But everybody at the event understood. was on the phone all night with the president's leadership team combating the unrest situation, which the left loved in California during these riots. Here's Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, who, by the way, this guy's just a liar. In the same thing, he tells you this crap about, you know, the National Guard calling him out for helping us quell the unrest in his streets. And then he promotes the hoax that President Trump said he wanted to blow up L.A. and San

Diego. This guy's just a liar. He's a fraud. The spreadsheets have to matter. Check this out. So if you didn't think the November election mattered, just considered what just happened. The president of the United States,

the same one who sent in the National Guard into Los Angeles, sent 700 active duty Marines to the second largest city in the United States of America, just invited Iran to take out Los Angeles and San Diego, where, by the way, over 130,000 active duty personnel are stationed, our best and the brightest. This is not only madness, this is dangerous and it's deranged. And the question is self-evident.

Where the hell is Congress? Where the hell are you, Speaker Johnson? Marco Rubio, the great J.D. Vance. Where is your outrage? Find a backbone. Do your damn job. In the absence of that, it's time for all of us to do our job. And we'll do that. We're going to stand up this November and we're going to put an end to the presidency of Donald Trump as we know it. We will take this country back.

Folks, this is a national security election. This guy is a liar. He is a documented known fraud and liar. He's complaining that the National Guard and Marines were brought in because he couldn't control as the executive of his own state, civil unrest that was putting people's lives in danger and the federal government had. to step in and lead the way. Folks, I was there. No one's going to lecture me on this. We were on the phone all night. I had a rush back to D.C. was on the phone basically the entire time coordinating with people from our defense department and elsewhere to try to prevent property damage, the loss of life and elsewhere.

Gavin Newsom, a terrible partner in this whole thing, a terrible partner. Thank God we have good police officers out there and good National Guard members. Gavin Newsom, locals, Democrat locals, terrible, terrible partners in this. Terrible. I remember it was like 3 o'clock in the morning. I'm on the phone. Terrible. Remember that guy?

And my wife rolls over and she was in, she was sleeping, obviously. And she's like, you're still on. I'm like, yes. We're terrible partner in this. And then he promotes this hoax, again, already completely debunked and discredited. You're seeing even corrections in newspapers that somehow president. Trump said that he wanted to like blow up Los Angeles and San Diego. He was saying the opposite that people aren't taking the Iranian threat seriously,

that they could, what are you going to have sacrificed Los Angeles and San Diego? You can just go listen to it. This is a national security election. Do you want the safe streets you have on the ballot to win again? Do you want the low murder rate on the ballot again? You want to win again? You want the increased military funding in this era of drones and AI cyber threats. Do you want this stuff on the ballot or do you want to vote for Gavin Newsom who just, it takes

every single opportunity to spread nonsense? And the media is not going to help you, folks. And I want to urge Republicans out there after now six years of President Trump. Actually, if you count the intermediary more than that, Jim, I cannot believe some Republicans are still falling for this crap. Folks, please apply the Bongino rule to any media story about President Trump. I'm begging you 24 to 72 hours. Let the information settle.

I cannot believe that there are still Republicans out there who fall for this stuff. Here's a media report about, quote, bipartisan backlight. Really? You're a Republican, and they told you President Trump wants to blow up Los Angeles and San Diego, you didn't bother to do your homework. You just took it at face value despite the fine people hoax, despite the peacefully and patriotically omission on January 6th, despite President Trump over and over being misquoted,

out of context for political reasons. You fell for this again. The media is of no assistance to you whatsoever in this definite national security election where I'm telling you, vote red or you're voting for a team that's got a sad but growing crop of people in here who will sympathize with these terrorists, even on a day like today. It's disgusting. Check this out. President Trump is facing bipartisan backlash today after comments at a campaign rally in which he suggested that Iran could take out two cities in California. It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city.

Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it's going to be over there. California's Democratic lawmakers condemned the remarks, and Republican congressional candidate and Navy veteran Jim Desmond said he vehemently disagrees, saying, quote, American city is expendable. The White House countered that Mr. Trump was misunderstood and was arguing that the war is preventing Iran from ever having such capability.

Oh, my gosh. How many times, again, it's 20 plus days prior to an election. I'm trying to avoid as much as we can Republican on Republican nonsense, given the gravity of the threat on the other side, the blue side of the spectrum, this growing, you know, Eddie Brock Venom like symbiote between commies, Dumers, Refolex, MAGA people, and Islamophonatics. However, to this candidate, like, how did you fall for this? I don't understand.

Like, do you, did you miss the last decade plus of politics, media tactics in the Trump era, where everything the man says is taken out of context is shortened? Notice how they left out the whole full quote on that, like they did the peacefully and patriotic. and they do with the fine people hoax where he specifically condemned white supremacist, white nationals. He said those are the actual words. Peacefully and patriotically.

We used to play. And when I was doing the 12th to three spot, we used to play this all the time just to remind people. Nothing you've been told about President Trump by the media of any significance is true as they told you. Nothing. The corrections are already coming out today. But it doesn't matter. The lies already spread around the world. How long do you think it took him to hunt that guy down?

We got to find one. They probably emailed my guess, having had a show myself where I get solicitations from everyone, people with movies, books, and so I'm going to guess they emailed about a thousand people before someone responded to get in the paper. Jim's correct because we get these all the time. We get them all, you know, right, Jim? Joey Bag of Donuts wants to come on and talk about it. Some of them will say anything to get on the air.

Folks, believe me, please. So stop with the bipartisan outrage stuff. take a breath, apply the Bongino rule, and I promised sanity will win the day. We've got an important election coming up. This is a day to really focus on national security. We'll be right back. Bonino. Because, folks, I just want you to realize that there are people out there in a significant

swath of the Republican conservative MAGA and libertarian movement who see through the doom and gloom. You know, and understand that what's its stake in this election? what's at stake in this election is I don't like, you know, Manichaean terminology like existential because her hyperbole does us no good. But folks, this midterm election and going forward, the choices we have are as close to politically existential as you can get. I'm going to make a strong case to you throughout today's show, backed up by evidence because evidence matters, not just conjecture, that this election,

is three things that are equally important. But I put one on the top, and that's national security. You don't have national security. You have nothing. It doesn't matter what the tax rates are, what health care plan you're a part of, what school your kids go to. If you're constantly under the threat of a terror attack, violent crime, a foreign terror organization, or a drug cartel, none of that other stuff matters.

but I don't want to diminish the importance in this midterm election of this being a cultural election as well and an economic election. Folks, you have a choice. It's axiomatic going forward. They're not always great choices versus bad choices. There are going to be some candidates around the country running for congressional seats, running for mayorships, running for Senate. that maybe aren't the greatest.

I mean, I'll bring up the point later for your listeners up in the Northeast. You know, Susan Collins, is she the most conservative Republican center in the country? No. Does she have a good relationship with her constituents? Yes. Does she defy the odds over and over? Yes. Is she better than the communist opponent she has who wants to open up our borders

and basically scrap any kind of voter integrity measure? She is. She is. This is a national security, culture, and economic election. And folks, you're seeing it right now in the riots in France. The disgusting, disgusting pro-terrorist, free, fake Palestine protests yesterday. On October 7, the anniversary of a human atrocity three years ago, plus one. You're seeing it with the Lindsay Clancy case.

Just the demoralization exercise. As Yuri Besmanoff, the KGB defectors warned us about. over and over. The effort from the inside to infiltrate the United States body politic and demoralize everyone so they believe in nothing. So who becomes your heroes? But Lindsay Clancy or whatever, because you don't believe in anything anymore. This is an op. This is a national security, culture, and economic election. And you have a choice. And folks, there is a party out there that is far better than the Islamo-radical funded, communist funded, progressive far-left funded, Democrat Party and their duma allies in the fake

Folex Maga, but you're trying to pretend they're part of MAGA when they're not. And this is kind of odd. I'm seeing this now, as you see the October surprises start to come out. You know those surprises you see before every midterm and presidential election. You always see some, you know, hidden audio that's supposedly some big scandal. Here's the irony of this. Here's some audio, huge scandal coming out of Texas. Huge, huge scandal, folks, right? Jim, this is, you're a Texas resident.

I mean, this I can't believe. Ken Paxton on Hidden Audio, saying that, I mean, saying things like, this is crazy, Jim, that they actually,

like, campaign on. Meanwhile, hidden audio coming out of the Tala Freeco campaign is like, the guy's got a fetish for the trans community. The guy,

but he's a freaking vegan in Texas. Like a vegan in Texas. That's like buying a bar and serving odules, which was like a non-alcoholic, but I don't even know if it's around there. Is that even a thing anymore? Or,

what was it, moosey back in the day or something. That's not a thing, man. It's not a thing. That's the hidden audio leaking from the other side. There's 67 genders. Here's a fake scandal. Texas Tribune, pretty leftist outlet.

It's like, hey, man, we caught Paxton on a mic here talking about how, you know, if we're going to save these entitlement programs, we need reforms. And Jim, even worse, this is crazy. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely staying home and voting for. for the guy who's the vegan who believes in 67 genders in Texas. He believes that tax cuts juice the economy to scandalous. Get you ever see that horrible Robert De Niro Frankenstein movie? He's the cholera where they start throwing tomatoes at him.

Or is it Game of Thrones when they're like, shame, shame, shame, they start throwing at the rotten eggs and tomatoes at the lady after they shave her head. They're unbelievable. Paxton stands for like sound sensible reforms so we can preserve these programs for these people. and tax cuts and he doesn't get caught on hidden audio talking about 67 gender's total scandal here listen for yourself this is from the texas tribune check this we're growing out of this is part of the solution and making some reasonable cuts and mandatory's better you're gonna have to do it or we were going to there is no solution that's just a reality we have to suck it up right and we you know from public and president's the democrat we've been spending like crazy and no one seems to care i agree it's going to bankrupt just

I would really like to pay my fair share of taxes, which is less than I'm paying. I'm with you on. There's something to keep it mind. I think tax cuts will actually generate more. I can't believe it. Ken, you should resign today from the, just forfeit the position. I mean, the guy's running on pro-growth tax cuts, reforming these entitlement programs that are going broke to fix them. And he's running on controlling government spending that in a Biden era caused us 9 and 5% inflation.

I can't believe it. I can't believe this guy has the stones to stay in the race. Folks, please, if you're sensing the dripping sarcasm, I hope you didn't just tune in there and think I'm actually calling for him back. I once voted for a guy who ran on this exact platform. And his name was Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan. President Trump, who's only talked about this forever. I mean, he's been the first Republican in forever to say, because people were scared to saying this.

Hey, man, I want to help you with this social security thing, but we got to be honest. It's like running out of money. Listen, I'm going to get to this. So you so don't go anywhere. I've warned you about this over and over again, how if you think voting for Democrats, just like you think voting for people like Mamdani is going to protect you against the hoard, then you are unfamiliar with cannibalism theory. which I've spoken about often. Cannibalism theory is an infection on the left. We cannot spread to the right.

Where people try to one up each other with craziness to prove like they're the pure blood, that folks, it is going to destroy the part. The left is going to turn on seniors and you, their parents, people getting social security in the next coming years. I promise. I promise they're going to turn on you.

It's already online. I've been warning you about it. We see around corners better than anyone. I'll show you the evidence later in the show. Please stay tuned for that. I want to show you this, though, in the beginning, because this is important, too. Folks, Jeff Bezos, who runs Amazon,

was it Blue Origin and Prometheus? They get a thousand different companies. You know them from Amazon fame, of course. You know, listen, I'm not a candidly a huge fan of some of the stuff that happened at Amazon in the past at all. Some of it personally impacted me. I think they were part of cancel culture for all. while and I think that's a shame. But, you know, showing you that I believe in ideas and I don't get

lost, get lost or fall in love with personalities, good ideas matter to me. And how we get there matters because we have to convert people who are independents or even left this at one time. I only bring this up because Bezos was on Fox News yesterday. And the Amazon and these companies, for as much as I object to their left-leaning values, and I think they need to get their act together, I would rather have them promoting ideas that create wealth like those companies did themselves, rather than be on the other side of confiscatory taxes, endless government spending, endless inflation. Bezos was on Fox News yesterday with Brett Baer,

and I was kind of shocked to hear him say this about this new socialist revolution, again, surfacing in the United States like freaking whack them all, coming back again, where he says, listen, this is just the politics of him. envy. To hear him say it, I hope maybe some left this will listen up who idolized this guy in the past. Maybe he's a messenger for them. Maybe not. I don't know, but check this out. Some people have come to, they've been taught, I think incorrectly, but they've been taught that in this whole kind of oppressor oppressed framework and that success is villainy. Success is not villainy. You know, you can be a billionaire if you start a hamburger stand. You have 10 people and it works

well and you open a second one and you open a third one. Pretty soon you have a thousand hamburger restaurants and you are a billionaire. There's a real story, by the way. It's with chicken tenders. It's the raising cane. There's nothing wrong with making unbelievably good chicken that people love. And it doesn't make him a bad person. Folks, that's Jeff Bezos.

He's not known as like a big MAGA conservative guy. However, I think now that he has created a massive. amount of wealth for himself and jobs. He's starting to see cannibalism theory on the left. He was a guy on the left. No question about it. He was a product of the left. Now he's starting to see how they will turn on everyone.

Cannibalism theory is an infection. And they're trying to instill it on the right with the doomers and black pillars who want you to sit home and hand the country off to a bunch of Islam, radical, socialist commies, progressive liberals and liberal media nuts. And I'm not letting it happen. No way. We're using every platform we have. This show,

the morning show, the podcast, to warn people. You have got to get out there and vote. This is, believe it or not, this may sound crazy. It is not. Evidence incoming. You are actually right now in these midterms, when you look at Republican voter registration, you are looking at one of the best environments

to go out and vote that you've ever seen in a midterm. That sounds crazy. The Dumeers and everyone else told us to say home. That's the point. They're worried. Republican voter registration has stocked upon full of fish that candidates can go out and then fishing upon full of fish that were there, voters that weren't there before. All of this, all of this means what I've told you from the start.

If you show up in this election, we will win. There is no other variable. It's not the sports game where the pitcher's got the flu. It doesn't matter. The only variable is you showing up and bringing 10 people with you. can win because this is a national security culture and economic election and all of them are tied together with our opponents. They know if they can open the borders, create a national security nightmare, scrap voter ID, that they can engage in their demographic destiny argument or what they call

replacement theory. That's a Democrat thing. They try to pin this on Republicans. That's their thing. They talk about it all the time. They know if they create a national security situation. Open the borders. Let terrorists in. Let everybody in illegally know, vetting nothing, that they can then get those people on voter rolls and in population counts in a census, that they can then use that to bump up electoral college votes to the presidency, bump up members of the House of Representatives in blue states that are losing people, they can then hijack the system, stack the Supreme Court, pass overwhelming amounts of red tape and tax increases to crush the economy, and do it by a culture revolution too, which Bezos

just talked about, how they want to instill a culture of envy, the rich, the rich, rich guy, the wealthy guy's the bad guy. The cops are the bad guy. ACAB, all cops are, you can figure out the rest. Put it in chat, GPT. You'll see, this is what the left thinks of you. Defund the police. Defund their military.

Invert the good guy, bad guy matrix. Where the good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are the good guys. Mamdami experienced that the hard way. He's seeing it now. How there are no good guys with the left. They're all bad guys. Folks, it all ties together. There's a warning coming out of France,

right now, you're seeing riots in the streets over and over. We've already seen that here. We've seen what happens. Thankfully, you haven't seen the infection spreading to the United States in the last year and a half because the president is cracked down on politically motivated violence. I remember being a part of it. The L.A. riots that we saw with the ICE enforcement that happened, I was your FBI deputy for that. I was up all night with our folks from Secretary of Wars Office and elsewhere. And what happened?

Did it spread? No, because the president said, we're not allowing this kind of disorder and chaos in the country. That's your choice. Destroy the economy. The economic destruction will create a culture of envy. The culture of envy will get people to accept insane anti-national security ideas promoted by Islam, radicals and others like open borders and elsewhere. It's all tied together. That's the choice that's on the ballot.

There is no excuse to sit home. None. if you show up and you bring 10 people with you, we'll win and we'll be having a far different conversation the day after election day. We'll be right back.
