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.
Hey, Jim, happy Columbus Day.
I know with your very Italian last name like mine, it is a proud day for not just Italian
Americans, but for all people interested in an honest telling of history,
Jim and I do not attack inanimate statues, try to rip them.
They will not attack back.
I promise they are concrete, sometimes marble and other expensive things.
Otherwise, they will not hit back.
They are defenseless.
So producer Jim and I actually believe in an honest telling of history.
I'll get to more of that later with the money quote, right, Jim, and the money quote.
From a great Italian American.
No.
Oh, we don't want to leave Mike out either.
producer Mike, with also a very Italian soundest name.
When you get a name like Bongino, it is really hard to imagine it being anything other
than Italian.
It was Bonjourno, my great grandparents, when they came over.
They wrote it down wrong in the book on Ellis Island.
And it was a Bonino from that point on.
So welcome to the Bongino report, PM.
Always good to have you here.
You know, it's Monday.
So Jim and I were texting this weekend.
Jim had a bad weekend, folks.
So he's at JJ Verde on X.
you'd like to send him condolences?
I know I feel really bad because I had no dog in the fight.
Jim and I love college football.
You know, the NFL, I don't know.
I'm still getting over the whole Kaepernick thing.
I mean, I really, I'll tune in occasionally, but it's tough.
But college football I love, and Jim is a big Texas Longhorns fan.
And man, I told you at halftime, Jim, right?
I was like, you got to stay frosty.
And I told you, too.
I said, I don't like it that they're this close.
He did. I can actually read the text. He did not like it at all. So sorry about that.
Auburn was off this week. So we, but what happened with the Gators? The Gators came out like a
ball of fire this year and they're like, what the hell's going on here? You know, give me something
else. Go Gators too, man. All right. Listen, this is a, this is going to be one of those shows where it's
going to go in one direction, but it's not the direction. It's like I'm telling you in advance. This is going
to be one of those like, this is going to be one of those intentional misdirection things.
I don't want to give away too much, but I need you to stay tuned. It's about the midterms.
You know, when I left my prior job and the job before that, and I came back on the radio and
TV and elsewhere, I said to you, you know, you learn quick over there in that position I was
in at the FBI that when something gets to your desk, it's a level 10 decision. A level 10 decision is
very simply a decision that there's really no great answer. Sometimes there's a bad answer
and a worse answer. Sometimes if you'll allow me to make up words, sometimes it's not even that.
Sometimes Jim, it's a worse answer and a worser answer. I know it's not, I mean, but you get the
point. And that's why it's at your desk. You're like, well, how does that relate to this election?
Well, here's the flipping of the script. This isn't it. This is. It is. This is.
I can't say this enough.
This election is a ground ball.
You have the choice is so crystal clear.
This isn't even a level one decision.
This is like a level zero decision.
You've got a group of people on Team Blue, which is not Team America.
I'm very sorry.
They are not Team America.
You've got this political class of people dominated by Pocahontas, Bernie Sanders,
Mamdami, AOC, running on ideas so antithetical.
to American values and principles,
that I'm stunned that any kind of blue-collar Democrat
would even consider Team Blue in this election cycle.
And how is it?
A point that'll come up today throughout the show.
How is it that Team Blue, which is not Team America,
they're just not.
And you should not be afraid to say it.
How is it that Team Blue always picks the worst, quote, heroes?
the worst.
These aren't even goats.
When I was growing up in New York,
there was a sports writer,
and he'd have the hero and the goat thing,
and he was a cartoonist.
I don't know if you remember that, Jim.
I don't know if it was the Daily News or the Post.
And whatever, you made an error,
you were to goad, you pitched the shutout,
you were the hero, whatever it was.
This isn't even like heroes and goats.
This is like Republicans who Donald Trump has cooked
for the last two years.
He's cooked, the border, crime,
the economy.
And not everything's, you know, peaches and cream.
We've got to do some work on the inflation front.
And everybody understands that.
But this has been an incredible two years, an incredible two years.
The other side is running on open borders.
The other side is run, I named the podcast today.
Let me paint a picture for you.
Check it out on Rumble.
I encourage you to.
The other side's running on open borders, mass mail and balloting, zero election integrity
measures whatsoever, not free and fair elections,
packing the Supreme Court, packing the U.S. Senate by adding seats,
confiscatory taxes, wiping out school choice.
We just had a huge win last week on the Second Amendment.
It's not permanent.
I worry about it.
We still get the law change.
However, they want to take away your guns, take away your right to protect yourself,
defund the police.
This is not hard.
This choice is clear.
It's like kicking you right in the now.
It's like, it's like, the Democrats, it's the Beavis and Butthead coach.
like they're kicking you in the stones.
Kiss me in the Jimmy.
That's what they're right.
That should be their campaign slogan nationwide.
Vote Democrat.
We'll kick you in the gym.
That's their day.
What?
We're allowed to say that.
It's a name.
It's a name, Jim.
I know.
I had one of those at the end of the podcast.
Did you catch it, Jim?
I was a rough one.
There are certain things you just can't say.
Never short in the word country.
I do it all the time.
I'm unfortunately.
They don't.
Just don't do it.
Just don't do it.
And when you're going to claim someone is a master debater,
make sure you put a pause in between those words.
Say it fast.
You'll see what I mean.
I did that at the end of the podcast today.
I was talking about people who either love George W. Bush or don't.
Problem is when you leave the George W part out,
it comes off a little weird, a little strange.
Why?
Why?
What?
Stop.
This is what you're talking about.
get back to my point.
This is not a level 10 decision where it's a bad call or a worse call.
This is not one of them.
This election is a level zero decision.
It is so easy.
So there was an incident up in New York City I've been covering last week.
And again, I want to caution you.
I try not to make the show to New York City focused.
It's one of the things I learned doing cable news.
The producers are very focused on local stories because they get the local paper.
and I'm not telling you people in California, Wyoming,
don't care about New York City,
but they just don't want to hear about Mamdami all day.
However, Momdami is a symptom, excuse me,
of a larger cancerous infection in the American body politic
where you have this team, Team Blue the Democrats,
who are now openly embracing ideas
that just 30 years ago would have been considered insane,
some just treasonous, crazy ideas.
So ICE goes up to New York,
To take off the streets, illegal aliens, folks, you know, I hate the word literally, but it's important in this case.
I literally mean not figuratively.
People accused, convicted of murder, home invasions, rapes.
This is not a tough decision.
Do we get the rapists and murderers off the street or do we let them go?
This isn't hard if you're not a stupid person.
Mamdami, who was a symptom of this cancerist, team blue, blue,
right now, easy choice in this election, is really upset.
Here he is again.
They picked the worst freaking heroes the Democrats every time.
How do people not see through this?
Check this out.
I'm demanding that I cease their operations in our city immediately because these operations
make New Yorkers less safe.
They leave New Yorkers in a state of terror.
And that is something that should be opposed by all of us.
So just to be clear, again, I try desperate.
to not make this a solely regional show because it's a national show.
This is not a regional issue.
I want you to understand that defunding ICE is a mainstream team blue,
which means not Team America position.
That's just a fact.
There is a small minority of Democrats at the national and blue city level.
A small minority who would come out against this.
defunding ice thing. They love this position. Now, I want you to listen to voice a reason.
We've got 22 days until a midterm election. 22 days. Here is Secretary Mullen, Secretary
of Department Homeland Security, obviously, talking about the Dominican man. They pulled off the streets
in New York City and what his rap sheet is that Mamdami and a bunch of leftist protesters have
chosen to make their new deity. This is their golden calf. Listen to this laundry list of horribles.
Check this out. I'm sorry, he's from the Dominican Republic. He came in this country legally
a few years ago, and ever since he's come in, he's committed crime and crime after crime.
Our records show they may only have been in the country for three years. Of course, he came
with the Biden administration. And he has three years of extensive criminal activity.
You're going to call that a New Yorker?
I think that's a far cry.
He said that ice is rotten to the core.
Really?
Men and women at ice each day are enforcing the laws that he refuses to enforce.
We arrest thousands weekly that are criminals going after the worst of the worst.
And he turns a blind eye to it and won't even stand up for his own NYPD officers.
That, by the way, protect him every single day.
Folks, candidly speaking with you, I really wish that was hyperboggling.
for the sake of the country
that
sod, as we call it in the business,
sound on tape.
I wish Mark Wayne Mullen
were exaggerating
because I don't want a country
where a mainstream party,
which I don't mean mainstream in ideas,
but I mean mainstream and following in popularity,
i.e. the Democrats, team blue,
anti-team America,
would actually take a position
and not only not be condemned
of let's release and
alleged murderer, rapist, or whatever, onto the streets where Mamdami's not condemned, but Mullen is.
Folks, I'm going to paint a picture for you throughout today's show.
I'm going to discuss an article during today's show I read this weekend that really disturbed me.
It's by Matthew Contetti in the Wall Street Journal.
And it's the gist of the article and the picture I want to paint for you is what the country would look like if we get this election wrong.
folks the cascade and parade of horribles coming you away and i'm i've never been ever been known as the
we're the receipt show the bonjino rule show we always kind of wait on a story to be right if we get it
wrong we'll tell you this is not the hysteric show we have you know sometimes we get a little
emotional and go from funny to screaming and yell them once in a while but i promise you like the
backbone of the show will always be one of truth i am i'm warning you in and
the clearest, most concise way possible that if we lose the United States Senate in this
midterm election and the United States House of Representatives, and then, God forbid, we're to
lose the presidency to one of these Democrats who are all going to support this same list in cascade
and parade of horribles, this country, I promise you, this is the loudest, clearest, concise
morning I can give you, we'll never look the same again.
Open borders, defunding the police, defunding ICE, attacks on our military.
Star Chambers show trials for political opponents.
Cancel culture will be back.
Oh, I've got my YouTube channel.
But good luck with that.
You're going to see, you know, mainstream Democrat politicians come out for crazy things like
Medicare for all.
Medicare for all.
Folks, when they say for all,
they mean for all.
The bill they're pushing,
the Bernie Sanders bill,
the Medicare for all bill
makes your health insurance plan.
If you have a free market
health care plan, you like,
illegal, quote, unlawful.
It's in the bill.
Wealth taxes,
taxes on unearned income.
What does that mean?
You've got a house you bought for
$200,000,
10 years ago.
It's worth $4.
400 now. That's a capital gain, folks. No, it's not. Yes, it is, but I haven't sold my house. The
Democrats don't care. They want to tax you on $200,000 of gains that have not even materialized.
The housing market could crash tomorrow. This is what's in their vocal, spoken, on-paper
agenda. The choice is clear. There are very difficult level 10 choices that entire college
courses of ethics have been designed around where there's no good call. I had these in the
FBI. Do you arrest the terrorist today? Know in your criminal case may be good but not great
or do you wait an extra day, hopefully you don't ever lose the surveillance and get something
in the file that'll make it easier to prosecute. These are tough calls. These are tough calls. There's
no right answer that jumps out. There's only a judgment call. This is not one of them. This is the
easiest call you will ever have to make in a midterm election, either Team America or anti-team
America. That's it. More coming up next. We'll be right. Bunchino. Hey, what if you could delay
your next two mortgage payments? Imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and finally getting
a little breathing room ahead of the holidays. It's possible when you call American financing today.
If you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, groceries, gas, bills, piling up, you're not alone.
A lot of Americans are putting these expenses on credit cards and credit card rates are insane and the 20s or even 30s.
American financing can show you how to use your home equity to pay off that debt.
Their salary-based mortgage consultants are helping homeowners just like you, restructure their loans, and save money every month.
There's no upfront fees to find out how much you can save.
Their customers are saving an average of $800 a month.
let's take a $10,000 raise without having to change jobs.
Can't beat it.
Call today American financing.
Here's the number.
888-994-7660.
That's 888-994-7660 or visit them online.
It's a dot-net address.
Americanfinancing.net slash Bongino.
Thank you, American financing.
Check them out.
So the gist of what I'm saying is I get up in the morning and I read this kind of left-wing
email that goes out in the morning, playbook.
and you can sign up for it too. It's free.
Because it's strange.
If you watch cable news as much as I do,
you'll see that's like the Bible for them in the morning.
You know what, Jim, you read it too, right?
Like the talking points go out.
And the stuff you'll read, you'll be like, wow,
I just heard, you know, Janie Bag of Donuts,
liberal queen Janey Bag of Donuts on CNN
and say that exact same thing.
They think like the Borg, like they have one hive mind.
I read playbook this morning and folks,
the hedging has already begun.
I don't know what's going to happen in the election.
I can tell you what's going to happen if you don't show up.
We'll lose.
If you do show up, we'll win.
It's not hard.
But I can't predict the future.
I'm not Karnak from the Johnny Carson show and Stygian witches.
I don't have the eye.
Give me the eye.
I don't have the eye, okay?
But if you show up, we'll win.
But I'm sensing just a couple weeks out from the election that there is now some serious hedging
going on. And if you read today's playbook, you're going to see a bunch of Democrat operatives like,
hey, man, did we wade way too deep into this blue wave tsunami thing? Because we're not really seeing
that on the ground. I'm going to get to this throughout the course of the show today,
how the early voting numbers do not look good for the Democrats at all, no less a blue wave.
They don't even look good at all. But there's another thing I want to get to you today during the show as
well. I want to point out to you how the choice in this election is clear. I know I brought it up
yesterday. I brought it up on Laura Ingraham's show I did last night. This is not a difficult
choice in this election. If you're for voter fraud, vote Democrat. If you're for defunding DHS and
ICE and opening the borders, vote Democrat. If you're for three, four, five, and six impeachments
over the next two years while nothing is done about affordability or anything else, gas prices,
and vote Democrat. If you're for a massive government red tape being imposed on your business,
vote Democrat. If you're for a castration, defenestration exercise of our heroic patriots
and our military, vote Democrat. These are positions that many non-fringe, mainstream Democrat
actors are openly advocating for. But there's one thing I've noticed that I'm really starting to get a sense
of kind of almost internal panic
when the Democrat activist
cite about the election.
And I don't like teases.
I'm going to just tell you
and I'll get to it in detail later.
I'll show you the Department of Justice release
so you don't think we're making this up.
There has been, despite the Dumer class,
the Duma class, the fake Folex MAG,
as I call them, the fake Republicans
who are just trying to get you to stay home.
There has been this endless nonsense
of nothing is happening, nothing is happening,
stay home.
And then when I point out on my show,
these things that are happening,
they just ignore it.
There has been a massive crackdown
on voter fraud. There's been another series of arrests. I think it's given them a little political
playbook, Adjad. I think that in conjunction with the significant and historic polling errors
in the Trump era, I think the Democrats are starting to realize that it's not just possible,
but probable that this will not be a blue wave election. Now, one of the things I brought up last night
that I brought up that I don't understand.
I know, you know, my job is political analysis.
I'm not a journalist.
I don't pretend to be a journalist.
So my job is, but when I don't know something,
it's my job to tell you.
I'm being straight with you and candid,
even at my own expense.
I don't get how the left-wing media
with a history of being wrong on Donald Trump,
from Russia gate to all the impeachment nonsense and everything else,
the January 6th stuff,
some of the fairy tales they spun off about it
afterwards later on. I don't get how people still believe them and actually think the Trump
economy is performing worse than the Biden economy. There's not a single data point that backs that up.
The only one that even Biden had a small advantage on the jobless rate was only because so many
people left the workforce. That's it. We'll back it up with hard receipts today. But folks,
the choice is clear. And President Trump is really good at kind of licking his finger and seeing where
the political wins are going. He just is. He was way out in front of the immigration debate.
He was. I remember being in an activist group in D.C. with some consultant came in to talk and was like,
you know, we should never talk about immigration again after Romney lost. And the people in a group
are like, what are you an idiot? Trump got out ahead of that. Build a wall and look,
Wednesday or no, two presidential elections. I think he's genuinely confused too how the left-wing
media that is this documented history of lying, poor polling, terrible political prognostications,
Trump chances of winning or zero, why people still believe them on the economy despite this
statistics saying otherwise. Here, here's the president yesterday was out at a campaign rally,
he's out on the road. He sounds as confused as me, and he's living this every single day. Check this out.
They want to basically destroy our country, and that's what they want to do. And if they get in,
they will do that. They'll be able to do that. You know, if they get in and you have a
a bad presidential election in the next because we have some very good people.
But if you had a bad presidential or one of these lunatics got in, you will look at me right now
and you will say he's going to be the last Republican president in the history of our country.
I will be. I will be. I will be the last Republican president because they will add about 12 more electoral votes.
they'll add four more senators
they'll add 10 more
Congress people approximately
they're going to rig the Supreme Court
through just a lot of people
I want to put a lot of people
their real number that they dream on is 23
they say 13
who wants 13
you know when I build the building
I never have a 13th floor
I go 12 to 14
because nobody wants to be on the 13th floor
and nobody wants to have 13 judges
Now, listen, regardless of your political affiliation listening to this show, everybody's welcome here to listen.
Matter of fact, I hope Democrats listen, maybe we'll convert you to the same side of the political aisle.
Everything Donald Trump just mentioned from packing the Supreme Court to open borders or elsewhere are positions that Democrats either in office or running for office are running on.
And I'm not talking about fringe guys like some East Tuniffish City commissioner in a town of like 20 people.
I'm talking about mainstream candidates who are actively running on this stuff.
Not that there's anything wrong with each tuna fish.
I'm just telling you like, this is not a fringe position.
Okay, Dan, back it up.
That's what I'm here for.
Hat tip producer Jim for pulling this gym.
Oh, Dan, come on.
Stop with this.
They're not going to open the border again.
We remember what the invasion looked like under Joe Biden.
That was terrible.
20 million people walking in hundreds of thousands of people a month.
They're not going to open the border again.
they wouldn't dare offer amnesty.
In other words,
illegal get out of jail free card
to all these people
that entered the country illegal.
They wouldn't dare do that.
Okay.
Producer Jim,
thank you for finding this gem.
This is Maxwell Frost,
not Maxwell Smart.
Some of you'll get that.
We may be aging ourselves.
Here's Maxwell Frost,
Congressman Maxwell Frost.
Here he is out there
telling you openly,
yes, we want to offer amnesty
to all these people.
I promise you this is a mainstream position
on the Democrat side.
It's not a fringe thing.
It's not a 20% thing.
It is a 90% thing on the Democrat side.
You want open borders and amnesty.
The Dems are your party because they certainly sure is hell ain't mine.
Check this out.
But the other thing I think is important,
what I always tell my Republican colleagues is say,
you don't want any undocumented people in this country.
I agree with you.
So let's document people.
Let's make sure they have a path to citizenship.
We don't want, yeah.
I also don't want a mass class of over 10 million people
that are essentially second-class citizens that are our neighbors.
Jim's like doing the, you know, the emoji guy.
The hands out shrugging the shoulders, head tilted to the side.
Like, oh, I don't know what else to tell you.
We're only playing their own words.
Sometimes they lie to you too.
Because what happens is like you're seeing in political playbooks morning email where there's a little bit of panic breaking out on the left.
Like the blue tsunami may not be materializing.
The early voting numbers don't look good for the Dems.
They just don't.
sometimes they lie to you and they do a little
1980s time square shell game
some of you get that here's a hint you can never win that game ever
the guy who does win is part of the scam did you know that
I was a police cadet in midtown south it's a scam
they're like oh my gosh that guy win I can be he's part of the scam
they'll do a shell game here is the head of the democrat party
Ken Martin who is not a very skilled liar
here he is saying because he's starting to realize now hence the little bit
panic on the left that a lot of these crazy positions they're advocating for going into the midterms
open borders defunding dhs um you know attacking our military and all this stuff they're starting to
realize like wow this really isn't resonating in the early voting numbers we better dial it back in
one position that is extremely unpopular amongst mainstream non-crazy voters is another
ridiculous impeachment so here's ken martin the head of the democrat party saying oh yeah we know
Nobody's really talking about it.
Oh, no, really.
If you listen to yesterday's show, you know we're going with this.
But we'll do it.
We'll do a play it again, Sam, for you.
Here's Ken Martin lying to you doing the Times Square shell game.
Please don't fall for this.
You can't win this game.
Check this out.
Polls show 53% unfavorable in their view of Democrats,
41% with a favorable view here.
How do you overcome that brand with Democrats?
What do you need them to do immediately if they take back Congress to help your chances
move?
We have to deliver.
And the reality is the reason.
Do you or what?
We have to deliver.
on the promises that we're making on the campaign trail.
Which promises? Infeiture?
No, no, no, listen.
Hardly any of our candidates are talking about impeachment.
Hardly, hardly any of them, Jim.
Hardly.
Jim's like, I listen to the show you.
I'm in the producer.
So, Jim, can you play what hardly any Democrats
talking about impeachment sounds like?
So folks, again, for the Democrats listening,
who believe this gibberish and this nonsense,
here is a supercut of Democrats,
hardly ever mentioning the impeachment that they say they want that he says they don't say they want
that they want they say they won't is that a triple quadruple double negative 180 360 5 to i don't know
check this out impeachment is not a taboo with us it's not a fetish with us we understand it's not a
panacea it is a tool in the toolbox we will not hesitate to use it if we need to use it we
haven't ruled anything out when it comes to all of the tools available to us to hold people accountable
and we haven't ruled anything in.
That's been our position that will remain our position.
It's about setting a standard, and the Democrats can impeach to uphold constitutional values.
Nobody's talking about it, except leadership in the Democrat Party, members in the Democrat Party,
senators in the Democrat Party, probably governors in the Democrat Party,
East Tuna Fish County Councilman in the Democrat Party, the Democrat Dogcatcher in your name,
Nobody's talking about it, despite everyone, nearly every level.
Folks, please don't fall for the Times Square shell game.
I think I said, I remember being a young cadet in Midtown South.
You can't win the shell game.
It's a scam.
It's a scam.
It's like the, hey, look at this.
They opened their jacket.
I got a ruling.
Back there is not real.
Listen to Tiff.
Folks, the choice is clear, man.
Please, I'm asking you as a friend.
I love you guys and ladies for listening.
I don't care what party you are.
You're welcome here, man.
More coming up next.
Election season is now upon us.
We are not a couple weeks from an election.
The election's happening right now.
Early voting numbers are coming in by the day.
The numbers do not back up the ridiculous hypothesis out there that this is going to be a 400-plus seat wipeout.
They could if they change, but they don't right now.
The early voting numbers for the Democrats have not been impressive.
a lot of swing states. Those are just the facts. Things could change. Predictions are like
holes. You get the point. Everyone's got one, right? Predictions don't really. We're going to know.
Either show up or you don't. But today's going to be kind of a bit of an emotional show and
try to like hold it together a little bit on this stuff. But I had a really life-changing moment
after we, tragically and all too soon lost our good friend Charlie Kirk. And I want to talk
let that a little bit, you know, coming up in the show. Because we could have taken two separate
pass after that. And we'll know after this election which path we went down, either solidarity in
our principles or division based on dumerism and sadly a grift. I'm not given up anything and
I'm certainly not given up hope because we have a choice in this election. Many of you haven't
made that choice yet, but I'm strongly encouraging you to divorce yourself from.
the emotions of the moment.
Listen, I get it.
There are a lot of figures out there in politics
who invoke a very passionate emotional response.
Donald Trump is one of them.
I'm not Donald Trump,
not even close to Donald Trump,
but I'd imagine I'm the same way.
Jim and I are on X and Twitter all the time,
and there's very few milk toast comments.
Like, hey, yo, go Dan.
That's rare.
It's either like, Dan, we love you, part of the Bongino Army,
or there's people out there like,
they're just, it's insane.
I know where you live or something.
You're like, wait, what?
Who cares?
Are you that crazy?
I'm asking you, if you're on the fence, an independent,
or even a Republican who hasn't decided if you're going to vote or not,
you have early voting options, you have mail-in voting options,
you have a bunch of options.
I wish elections were cleaner.
They're not.
You have a lot of options to do it.
I am begging you on bended knee, genuflecting, please,
please, in the name of everything that matters to you,
please go out, show up and fill in that ballot.
The choice is crystal clear.
Your country is on the ballot.
I can't say this enough today.
Please just go and take it.
The numbers are there.
If you show up in anywhere close to the numbers,
you showed up for Donald Trump in the 2024 elections,
I promise you this talk of a blue wave
will look hilarious the day later.
If you don't, the last laugh will be on us.
Go and take it.
Your country is on the ballot.
This is not hyperbole.
It's not exaggeration.
for effect. I'm not running for anything. I'm not a political consultant making money off getting
out your vote. That's not the way this works. I'm just a guy who cares about this country,
the work being put in to change, the absolute mess left to us by four years of Biden and
eight years of Obama. And I don't want to see the progress grinding to an extremely
uncomfortable and dangerous halt while we hand the country over to a group of Democrats,
socialists, and outright maniacs. Maniacs. Yes.
maniacs doing maniacal, almost sociopathic things.
These folks were running against,
these socialists, open borders, Democrats,
you know, defund the police,
wealth, tax, communist socialist Democrats
are running on principles that have led to death,
destruction, starvation,
that is a documented history that the principles,
air quotes they're running on because there are no principles at all,
do not work.
Matter of fact, they destroy lives by the millions.
Last night was debate night, and you saw candidates all across the country,
who the Democrats, it's interesting, characterized in different ways.
The reason we picked these couple clips from debate night last night is very simple.
The Democrats and the liberal media will frame their own candidates in a way they think appropriate
to the congressional district or state they're running in.
What I'm getting at is they're lying to you.
they'll say like Kathy Hokel who is basically you know an insure to be in a full-blown communist by some of the crazy things she supports they'll say you know Jim Kathy Hockel's kind of a moderate you're like kind of a moderate like what is the moderation scale you're using here exactly they'll say their new golden boy John Ossoff Democrat senator from the leaning red at least state of Georgia who doesn't belong in that seat or he doesn't represent Georgians
at all. Oh, John Ossoff, he's presidential timber. He's a really moderate guy, really moderate guy.
You realize FDR, FDR, one of the most liberal Democrats to ever hold the presidency.
That's Franklin Delano Roosevelt for liberals listen. They don't know who that is. Like, FDR, what is that?
A valve on a car? No, no, that was the president. FDR tried to pack the Supreme Court to destroy the
Supreme Court, a separate branch of government, and was openly mobbed.
by liberal media people and his own party.
John Ossov, the supposed moderate presidential timber Democrat from the state of Georgia,
a lean red state, is openly now advocating for this.
Let's start out with Kathy Hochle first.
Again, the supposed moderate, two inches short of a communist, the governor of New York state.
Here she is in a debate with the excellent Bruce Blakman running for offices
a Republican. And she's tragically, I'm going to, tragically, I say, because she's not telling you
the truth because I live through this. Taking credit for the drop in crime rates, ladies and gentlemen,
when Jim presented the material to me, he said, I'm a little concerned. We may go down the
masks route, where for those of you who are P1 listeners, you bring up masks and people where I go
crazy because I can't stand that I can't believe how stupid it is. People still wear this dopey mask.
one thing that drives me crazy is I live this as your deputy director in the FBI,
the national crackdown on crime.
Folks, I'm not going to tell you every Democrat governor and mayor was against us because
that would be a lie and I don't do that for partisan advantage.
It's not fair.
There were many Democrat governors and mayors, you know, including the leadership team in Memphis,
that were fully on board with us in our crime crackdown.
I'm just telling you there were all.
lot of them that gave us trouble nearly every step of the way. And New York was not a place
that was easy to do business with. So to hear Kathy Hokel now, unbelievably, who did everything
she could do not cooperate with ICE, ERO, now claim credit for the crime crackdown? Folks,
man, really? I got a bridge over there. Not too far in Palm City. I'll sell you for a buck
if you believe this crap. Check this out. But also this. New York State now has the lowest crime
rates it's had in modern history.
Now, we're not done yet, and you're going to hear a lot of, well, a lot of different
opinions here this evening, and I want you to judge it this way.
Here, produce some more receipts, Dan.
Okay, here's Kathy Hokel in a debate, again, the fake foe, not moderate, an inch shy of
being a communist, governor of New York, claiming now that, oh, yeah, you know, the ice stuff.
Yeah, we were kind of on board with that.
Really?
Now, this is a Kathy Hockel versus Bruce Blakeman, New York,
Cumbentatory of the Bay.
But Kathy Hockel should really be debating who, Jim?
Kathy Hockel, because she took the exact opposite position
just a few months ago.
Receipts incoming.
Here she is, she is, ridiculously claiming.
She's like on board with the ISOPs.
Okay, sure.
Check this out.
Does New York's sanctuary policy amount to a cancellation at times
of valid deportation orders provided an immigrant,
lays low and doesn't commit a violent crime.
And are you comfortable with that reality?
Even New York City has 170 crimes, serious crimes, where they will work with ICE agents to remove people.
That is a fact all across the state of New York.
We always work with law enforcement to remove people who are committing crimes.
Wow.
Tim, she says they always work with law enforcement, implying that she's been a fantastic cooperator with federal law enforcement.
Let me tell you what really happened.
And let me speak in general terms, not just about Kathy Hokel, with a lot, not all, but a lot of Democrat city mayors and governors.
Folks, they were embarrassed into working with the Donald Trump administration, the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshals, ATF, and elsewhere.
We went into those cities because we don't need their permission.
Donald Trump doesn't work for them.
And as locals saw the FBI and DEA and others cracking down on the Kensington drug market, the operative,
Coast to Coast, Skid Row and elsewhere.
The political leadership was embarrassed into cooperating.
The cops were great.
That's the real story.
Now, Kathy Hokel just told you, yeah, man, ice cooperation.
She was all about it.
Okay, she's debating Bruce Blakman.
Maybe she should debate herself.
Because here is the same person, fake moderate,
Kathy Hockel destroying the great state of New York, which I grew up,
saying the exact opposite just a few months ago.
Check this out.
Do you prevent of the ice?
federal, at the federal level, from securing agreements with local police forces in New York?
I just banned it.
It's against the law now in the state of New York to have these agreements.
The federal law that allows the creation of these agreements says subject to state and local laws.
State law just changed.
So no more.
No more.
It's not even, it's how suckers continue to fall for this, this act the Democrats put on every single time.
President Trump, you're not obligated in any way.
to like his policies.
It's a free republic with a capital R.
But at least you understand
what his policies are.
He's not afraid to talk about anything
from the Iran War to flock cameras at all.
You ask him a question, he answers it.
Kathy Hochel in no way even couches the answer.
Yeah, we banned it.
Yeah, no, we're not doing anything
with the ice people.
You just said in a debate like you were all on board.
Folks, they are lying to you
because that's what the Democrats do.
And I love the media character.
characterization because they know far left progressive liberal policies don't sell to the average American at their dinner table.
Hey, mom, dad, do you want to defund the police open the borders and pay 60% tax rates?
Yes, Johnny.
I want to.
Like, that's a conversation that never happens outside of psychopath homes.
Okay.
Nobody ever says that.
That's why they hide this stuff.
Here's another fake moderate.
John Ossov, who they just love.
This guy's like the new Beto before Beto collapsed.
here's john ossoff asked a simple question hey brother may have left a brother how do you feel about
like packing the supreme court it's probably a they should have just asked the real question like it's
probably a really stupid terrible idea even fDR got laughed by that by his own party no not ossov
this guy you want this guy in the white house or in your senate seat in georgia the guy is a radical
he is a card carrying radical period based on his own words
Check it out. Senator Rossoff, if Democrats controlled Congress and the White House, would you support adding justices to the Supreme Court's bench to change the court's ideological balance?
Greg, I don't rule out any judicial reform, but I think we have to take the long view.
Jim, the worst part of it, did you catch this at the end? The worst part of it is the questioner in the debate, the moderator, I should say, sets him up in a way.
way where if he was a more clever politician who could hide his radicalism, he should have
answered it this way. The moderator in the debate says, do you support adding seats to the
Supreme Court to change the ideological balance? That's the gist of what he said. All also of how
had to say was, well, I wouldn't do it to change the ideological balance. What I would do is there
are 13 circuits rather than nine. There used to be a judge per circuit. So I think what we should,
I'm actually giving this guy like a cheat sheet to not sound like a Marxist lunatic. And
he totally screws up the question. He doesn't even deny the fact that it's only done to destroy a
branch of government because he doesn't like the ideological politics. He just, the guy,
this guy's a trained politician. He was given a ground ball. Oh, this has nothing to do with
ideology. We just want to match it with the judicial circuits. He can't even deny it. That's not the
reason they're doing it. They're doing it only because they don't like the politics. Imagine if that
happened in the House of Representatives. You lose an election in the midterms and Republicans vote on a
bill. We're going to expand the House of Representatives to 7,000 members and hold the new election.
Democrats, it's crazy, bro. That's the exact thing fake moderate John Ossov just agreed to.
Folks, you've got a choice. I had some life-changing moments in the last few years.
I'm going to talk about one of them coming up in the spools. It's going to be an emotional rollercoaster
of this show today. We've got a lot more ahead. Stay tuned.
But if there's been an ongoing evergreen narrative to the 10 years I've been on the air and on the podcast,
it has been, please, I'm really begging you, Democrat, Republican, or independent.
Take everything the media says in the Donald Trump era about him that's perceived to be a negative story about Donald Trump with a grain of assault because you're going to be embarrassed.
That happened yesterday in Spades with Fusion Candelanian.
the single worst perpetrator of fake news I've seen in my lifetime in this business.
I've never seen a guy be so consistently wrong about everything and yet do it so confidently
and nothing happened.
I'm not, listen, I'm not calling for any boycotts or anything like that or a guy to get fired.
He works for MSNOW, MSNBC, whatever they call themselves now.
I'm just saying like this was a story yesterday so disgusting even by my low standards for the media
that I may get a little riled up.
So I'm just warning everyone in advance.
Today's show may not be for everyone.
And I promise that's not some gimmick.
Like, oh, just say that.
And they'll want to see it.
No, no, I'm dead serious.
Like this show may not be for everyone.
I try to not get too emotional, but this yesterday was a new low.
And one of the issues, obviously I have with it, the fake news media,
is fake news stories they generate and intravenously mainline into the American circulatory system
are so destructive.
that if we had an honest media or even a barely honest media or even a 50% honest media,
folks, the country would be in a totally different place.
There would be candidates like Angie Nixon in Florida, a devout communist socialist,
Florida, where we have a large Venezuelan and Cuban population that candidly folks would not
poll above 30%, 30, 35%.
If the media was just honest about who they are, there's always going to be three out of 10
liberal progressives who vote for the D no matter what.
And also a candidate like Tala Rico.
I mean, you have a choice coming up right now. Early voting's already started in many states.
If not, you have a choice if you vote on Election Day, just coming up. I encourage you to
bank your vote. You have a candidate, I'll get to later in El Cayed in Michigan, who can't answer
a simple question about if his family's tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. A freaking terror group.
Like, how hard is this? Jim, let's try this. Jim, I'm going to interview you. Jim is the
Republican nominee for Senate in the great state of Texas. He is not, but just play the role for a
Jim, honestly, just tell us the truth.
Has your family had any ties with the Muslim Brotherhood Terror Group?
If you need a second to think about it, I understand.
Jim, your answer is?
No, they have not.
They have not.
They have not.
Jim, why can't El Cyan Michigan do the same thing?
Because he doesn't want to.
Because you got it, yes.
And he's still there.
He's still got it.
Because he doesn't want to.
Because he's afraid of getting penned in by lying about it.
it that's why if them go back to my original point about the fake news media which is going to come up
today often in the show if they just told you the truth even half the time al-sayette as well would
poll maybe 35% or less no question if the media did an honest story about him then you get a candidate
like this talarico cat in texas talarico's like that you ever go to um a social function
I don't know, like your wife or husband's like work party.
And you don't really know everybody that well, your husband or wife does.
But I remember going to this thing with my wife for work one time.
And I didn't know a lot of the husbands.
But the guy's kind of unintentionally segregated off into a group.
We're all talking.
And there's always that one guy in the group.
There's five of you sitting around or standing around in a circle,
drinking a beer or whiskey or whatever.
And there's this one guy who will just like he's cringe,
Like the kids use that word cringy,
like, you know, it's an older, but we still use it, right?
There's one guy who will never shut his mouth
and everybody in the group is really uncomfortable with this guy talking
and he just doesn't get it.
That's Tala Rico.
Like he's like the weird guy in not just one group, but every group.
Put him with little league coaches.
He's a weirdo.
Put him in church.
He's a weirdo.
How is this guy polling anywhere close to 50% in the state of Texas?
The answer is because the media won't tell you the truth about him, but other people will.
So he was at this town hall, and I got a bunch of clips coming up to us throughout the show,
because you have a choice to me.
He was at this town hall.
And he's asked a question that, folks, even in the state of Texas, this is as simple an answer as the El Cyan answer.
Is your family connected to the Muslim Brotherhood or not?
The square root of the hypotenuse, I didn't ask you about the hypotenuse.
I did not ask you.
I asked about the Muslim Brotherhood.
he's asked a simple question he's asked a simple question like hey listen how do you feel about
how do you feel about cutting kids nuts off like can we say that i think we i'm sorry if you had jim
just beep it out retroactively there's like a little delay how do you feel about you know cutting
nuts off kids and stuff and then like taxpayer money for folks it's the groundball in texas okay
i can guarantee if the media told the truth like hey talar rico's for government money for cutting
kids nuts off like that's not that's not gonna this is not gonna flow man
And somebody, my mother would say when I was getting,
whatever floats your boat, Daniel,
that's not going to float anyone's bone in Texas, okay?
It's just not.
Texas, they want to watch the football,
they want to cheer for the Cowboys,
they want to cheer for A&M, the Longhorns,
they want to eat their barbecue,
they want to eat their extra moist brisket,
you know, they want to go out and hunt and fish,
and they want to be Texans.
They don't want their taxpayer dollars going to cut nuts off.
Like, it's not a thing.
It's not a thing.
It's not a thing.
He's asked his question, and he does the same thing El Siread does.
Now, Jim, you know the clip.
Why does Tala Rico again not just answer the question and a straight, concise, clear
matter why, Jim?
Because he doesn't want to.
Because he doesn't want.
Because he knows Texans.
He's the weird guy in every group in Texas.
And he knows wherever he goes in Texas, even in Keep Austin weird.
He knows if he's in a group of guys and goes, hey, I think it's a really cool idea.
we cut kids nuts off with taxpayers that he's going to be left at so he's the weird guy everywhere
he doesn't answer the question because he doesn't want you to know who he is folks if the media
told the truth about these guys i'm telling you 35% maximum ceiling on their supporters check this
out this uh this discussion is a difficult one uh it's one that requires nuance and thoughtfulness
um in the state legislature uh the republican majority tried to pass an extreme fan
that would go after all kinds of different forms of health care,
not just gender reassignment surgeries.
No, no, no, no.
This does not, this does not require nuance and thoughtfulness.
You either have the nads or you don't.
There's no nuance.
There's no, correct, Jim, nads, no nads.
No nads.
There's no nuance.
here, man. There's no nuance. It's extreme if you want to ban that, though. The inversion of reality
here. Folks, I don't even want to make this particular segment about Talafriko specifically.
I don't. The gist of the segment and the story, the story, not a story, but the story I need to tell you
today is a story about how the fourth estate media in the United States has become so corrupted
that candidates like this guy clearly out of touch with Texas values. I don't even live in
Texas. I spent a lot of time that I can tell you that. How he manages to be mainstream as if he's a
normal guy when you know in fact he's the weirdo at every single party. It's because the media is
completely entirely incapable of removing themselves emotionally with their love affair with
communism, progressivism, and liberalism. It's all the same thing. And giving the voter an honest
take on what's going on. Here's another example. I live in the state of Florida. I know Florida
politics very well. I ran in Florida. Folks, communism in Florida and socialism, especially in
South Florida, where there's a rather large Venezuelan and Cuban diaspora that got
away from these, you know, communist countries.
I have a barber, his name is Robert.
I don't, I usually cut my own hair, but I'll go once in a while before an event,
whatever you get a shave.
It's one of those old school barber places, nothing fancy, like the Tala Rico hair.
He looks like John Edwards, like the Perel thing.
Remember that?
The hair, he had like a $400 haircut.
My haircuts are like $20 bucks.
You throw them a tip, whatever it may be, okay?
And for me, they're free.
But this guy, Robert, I don't know.
He's probably like 75, 80 years old.
the work and he's a great guy. And we'll talk like part Spanish, part English, because my Spanish
is terrible. And so we're talking, this guy's family was imprisoned and tortured by communists.
Do you think this guy wants to be lectured by a socialist communist communist in the state of Florida?
Well, we have one running for the Senate spot in Florida. State Senate? No, no, United States
Senate. Her name is Angie Nixon. She doesn't even hide the fact that she's a communist socialist.
So you would think like, again, the media would cover this candidate honestly and warn people off like, hey, man, this is a really dangerous candidate.
We do not want to replicate, you know, tyranny and the jailing of political prisoners like they do in communism.
They just told the truth about who this lady was.
She would poll at 10%.
But they can't.
But the thing about Angie Nixon is just like Tala Rico is she will never answer a question honestly until she does.
And then sometimes she answers a question honestly.
And the media, instead of following up, like, this is a really crazy thing you just said, just like, let's it go.
Here is one of the craziest answers you've ever heard.
She's running against Ashley Moody.
She was the AG in Florida.
She's the sitting United States Senator running for re-election.
She has broken no laws.
There's no allegation of her breaking laws.
Angie Nixon's just a commie who wants to put people in prison.
Who's like, hey, do you want to put her in prison?
Oh, yeah.
Did you just say that?
Yes, I did.
And then they moved on like nothing happened.
Check this out.
I want her locked up.
and punished in jail for what she has done.
And so, you know, we are going to continue to stump on this campaign trail all across the state from the panhandle to the keys.
And we're looking forward to them calling me Senator on November 3rd.
You want your Republican opponent locked up?
You know, she, yeah, basically.
Jim, you missed the key part.
She wants her locked up and punished.
What are you suggesting floggings?
What are we suggesting, you know, what are we suggesting?
you know, what are torture? I mean, what would exactly mean? This is who these people are.
They won't answer questions like El Cyanid if they're more skilled liars like El Cyan and
Talafrico. Yet Angie Nixon is really just genuinely dumb. If you look at some of her antics
and the Florida State House, she's really genuinely just an idiot. So then they'll answer
questions honestly. The point being that it doesn't matter, whether they answer a question
dishonestly or honestly, this entire fake news ecosystem, absolutely dedicated to protect
the progressive liberal communist brand will do whatever they can to make these people palatable
who are clearly by any standards metrics or use of reason, unpalatable candidates for any job in
the United States, forget about the U.S. Senate. If we had an honest media and we are going to expose
them today and it may get nasty and oh yeah. I told Jim like have the dump button ready. Don't worry,
program directors, we got you. Jim has been exercising his index finger all day. I am not holding back
because something happened yesterday with these MSNOW clowns,
that if you still trust these people, you know, I'm really sorry.
But I'm here to help.
And this hopefully today will be like a truth enema for you.
Because if you still, I'm serious, Jim,
if you still believe these idiots, get ready to expel that infection from your body today.
More coming up next.
We'll be right back.
