Dan Bongino. I have an obligation to come on the air with data and material and research. I can't just say, trade stinks. Thanks for tuning in. The Dan Bongino Show. Let's jump right in because we have no time for nonsense. Get ready to hear the truth about America. When I was a young man, I don't remember it being sexy to want to allow a nanny state to control my life.

On a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. All right. Welcome to the Renegade Republican with Dan Bongino. Producer Joe, how are you today? Hey, man. Glad to be here. Good to have you back. Saw your TV yesterday there, buddy. Yeah. Yeah. I hope you all liked it. For those of you who tuned in to Fox News' Outnumbered at noon, I was on yesterday. Spent the hour on the couch there with the lovely ladies. I enjoyed it. Had a blast. You know, just a quick

behind-the-scenes here, because I get a lot of questions about this stuff all the time, especially on email. You know, hey, how's Fox? What's it like? And, you know, how are they in real life? I'm telling you this with no, obviously, I wouldn't lie to you regardless. I would just not say anything if I had anything negative to say. But I can tell you with zero ambiguity that the people at Fox are just really awesome.

When you go there, they treat you like gold. They do. It's really, I'm not kidding. Again, if it was a bad experience, I would just not comment. But I do get a lot of questions. They say, well, what's it like? How's Harris? How's Harris? How's Sandra?

How are they? They're all amazing. They come in and they make a big deal about you being there. And it makes you feel great. So it was really a good experience. I had it out a little bit with Marie Harf. Yeah, baby. But listen, she's a liberal.

She doesn't run from it. And I'll be honest with you outside of the the couch in the show she was she was great i mean you have to understand during the commercial breaks it's not like she was why did you just say that to me that's not what happens during the commercial break she's like so hey how was that secret service job you got any cool story i mean it's just and i i think it just speaks to the fact that we can there are people who can still disagree on political ideas joe and not be vicious to each other i wish that you know the far left a lot of other these antifa clowns

would take up some advice and learn from that a little bit hey dan do you think any of those guys listen to the uh podcast uh who any of the fox guys up there oh yeah i know one of them does specifically so uh not the the uh one of the uh one of So, uh, not the, the, uh, one of the, uh, one of the, uh, the, the behind the scenes people up there. And, uh, you know,

it's, yeah, so it's, it's been, it was, it was fun. It was really a blast. I had a good time.

And, thanks to everyone else. Hey, uh, one quick thing before we get into the stories, uh, the jour, because we have a ton of them today.

There's a lot of good stuff. Uh, this Mayweather McGregor fight again, which is going to happen the 26th, which is, what is that? Is that Saturday? Is that tomorrow? Tomorrow night. Oh, it's tomorrow night, right? Yeah. I think the to happen the 26th, which is, what is that? Is that Saturday? Is that tomorrow? Tomorrow night. Oh, it's tomorrow night, right? Yeah, I think the weigh-ins are today.

This is just huge, and I just wanted to, this is not a mixed martial arts show, obviously, but just a quick point on this. I'm telling you again, I love Conor McGregor. I think he's a really terrific fighter. I admire his skills. I'm a Brazilian jiu-jitsu mixed martial arts guy, although I started in boxing, and the the reason this is a straight boxing match between, I think, one of the greatest, if not the greatest, pound-for-pound fighters of all time in Floyd Mayweather against Conor McGregor, who is a terrific mixed martial arts fighter. The problem that we're going to have here and the reason I think McGregor is going to lose and lose bad. And we'll know. I mean, my prediction game has been pretty good with politics. we'll see how it is with fighting uh we'll all know on Monday right but I think he's going to lose badly uh and De La Hoya Oscar De La Hoya was on Fox News

this morning kind of confirming my point here you made the same prediction is boxing's a distance game and the distance game is different than the mixed martial arts game if you're familiar with mixed martial arts when you're fighting someone and when i say mixed martial arts i'm imagine just for a second although it's not just imagine like a no holds barred street fight okay the distancing is different than in boxing you can close the gap in boxing easily without fear of two things you don't have to worry about getting kicked and you don't have to worry about getting taken down by a judo throw or wrestling uh takedown you don't have to worry about that you don't have to worry about getting kicked. And you don't have to worry about getting taken down by a judo throw or wrestling takedown. You don't have to worry about that.

You don't have to worry about defending the knees. You don't have to worry about defending the hips. So you can close the distance in boxing because you don't have to worry about the legs. And newsflash, Joe, legs are longer than arms. So you can close that distance. It's a different game. McGregor is not used to fighting in that distance like Mayweather is. And I think it's going to lead to some big problems. I see

if the fight goes longer than five rounds, it'll only be because Mayweather's carrying him. There's no other way because they want to extend the fight out for ratings or something. Now, in a mixed martial arts fight, Mayweather would get destroyed. McGregor would submit him in ten seconds. But in this fight, I don't think

it's going to end well for Conor. I wish him the best. I hope it goes well. But he's not used to fighting in that distance. He's used to fighting in a longer distance, worried about wrestling takedowns and legs. And in that longer distance, it's a different strategy altogether. All right.

Yeah, because this has taken over the pop culture. It's all over. Even Fox was covering it this morning. All right, folks. One of the things that's been bothering me ever since i did yesterday's show too is you know okay we can't agree on a common set of facts anymore and this is really disturbing i was having kind of an off the record conversation with someone in a green room yesterday and i was talking about how it's just disturbing how we can't even agree on a common set of facts how

when the liberals determine something is a scandal the far far left, the fringe element of society, right? Not the Democrats. I'm talking about the fringe element of even the Democrat Party. When they determine something's a scandal, it's a scandal. Yet when something's legitimately a scandal and it involves a Democrat and may tarnish the liberal brand, that scandal, in fact, goes away. And that scandal's never covered. And it's not a scandal because nobody knows about it. You know, if the tree falls in the woods.

It's only covered by conservative media. And it's not a scandal because nobody knows about it the old you know if the tree falls in the woods it's only covered by conservative media and it's avoided largely by mainstream media now what am i talking about folks this story with debbie wasserman schultz and the it scandal up on the hill capitol hill is blowing up it is becoming and this is a quote here from a new york post piece by paul sperry today which i will put in the show notes at bongino.com. Strongly encourage you to sign up for my email list if you wish. Your choice, of course. I will email you the show notes every day along with a link to the podcast and some interesting news stories I find when I probe the internet.

But there's a piece in the New York Post by Paul Sperry, which is just damning. How this thing is a quote in a piece from a, quote, senior U.S. official familiar with the investigation. Now, before I give you the quote, for those of you who missed the investigation, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and a number of House Democrats on the congressional side hired this guy and his family to run their I. in the course of running their it network it's alleged that multiple crimes were committed crimes including the taking of funds to buy property they couldn't account for the transmission of secure data from house files think about this joe yeah internal congressional emails potential national security, the transfer of that off the secure network to who knows where. There are allegations of significant transfers of money

to Pakistan and other foreign countries. This story is blowing up. Now, this senior U.S. official is quoted as saying, this is a massive, massive scandal. He says it twice. That's not me repeating it. That's him. He says this is a massive scandal. He says it twice. That's not me repeating it. That's him. He says this is a massive scandal.

Yet, we can't seem to agree that this is a massive scandal or the facts because the mainstream media is avoiding the story because it's a Democrat. Now, what I find out is not to keep harping on this

Trump-Russia thing because it's died down because as I told you for months and months and months covering it with Joe here, there was no Trump-Russia scandal. It was a fabrication of the left. But the left,

which runs the pop culture, feeding into my narrative of the week, how the left has won the culture war because they own the media, they own academia, and they own Hollywood. They get you to believe that fringe elements of society, the media, Hollywood, and frankly, far left-wing

academia, they want you to believe that this is what's going on. And this is their important stories for the popular culture. And this is how the country feels when they don't. They want you to believe Confederate statues are a big scandal, too, when only 27 percent of the country wants these statues taken down, according to an NPR poll. So it's not the majority of the country. It's a fringe element. They're also the fringe element also dictates to you what you should be concerned about.

What's a scandal and what isn't. So they made the fake Trump-Russia story with no evidence at all, an international scandal, literally, while downplaying what's going on right now with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a profound, unbelievably important story that regardless of your partisan leanings, you should be unbelievably concerned about. Now, I got another story, too, which has been conveniently suppressed by the far left media. But equally disturbing in this story is instead of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the congresswoman from from Florida, who the Democratic congressman from Florida, who brought these people into the House network and got them hired and by the way continued to pay this guy Joe even after the scandal started to break continued to pay him what's incredibly disturbing is instead of Debbie Wasserman

Schultz saying hey we have a problem here and for the sake of U.S. national security and the integrity of the House of Representatives Information Network. We need to get to the bottom of this and we need to find out what this person who's alleged to have committed these wrongdoings actually did. What does she do? What the left always does and what I tell you all the time to look out for. The left has nothing. When they have nothing, what do they resort to? Identity politics every time.

So a quote from Debbie Washington Schultz's team says this is nothing more than racial and ethnic profiling because they happen to be Muslim. There you go. So yeah, not that they did anything wrong, Joe, of course. It said, you know, we want to ignore the overwhelming evidence. Keep in mind, they've been indicted, meaning that there is probable cause that not only was a crime committed, but that that crime was committed by these people. So these are allegations, nothing proven yet in a court of law. But let's be crystal clear on this.

There is probable cause that there was a crime committed and a crime that crime may have been committed by these people. And she's blaming it all on racial and ethnic profiling because they have nothing else, folks. They've got nothing else. This is all the left has. Now, there's another story blowing up on the conservative ecosystem of media resources, not, of course, in the mainstream media because they're Democrats and they're hacks.

And they are... I'll get to that in a second. I don't want to confuse stories. But they're hacks. Robert Menendez, who is a democrat senator from new jersey is is was is alleged to have been involved in some significant corruption he is on trial he's ready to go on trial and this story is devastating because when you look at the allegations that he may have taken money and gifts from someone he want lobbied for up on the Hill as a United States senator, he's a Democrat senator from New Jersey.

They're really troubling allegations. Have you heard anything about it from the mainstream media? Of course not, because it's a Democrat senator. If it was a Republican senator, it would be a story every night on the nightly news. Now, you know, yesterday on I got some couple of emails back from some liberal kookadoodles yesterday about a comment I made when I defended Trump calling a lot of these media people un-American. I mean it. I'm going to double and triple down on that. Now, of course, the left will try to blame you for all kinds of malevolent behavior, saying, oh, you're motivating people to do nasty things against the media.

If you listen to my show, you know that, one, you're a moron for saying that, but secondly, you're just a liar and you're being disingenuous. Listen, we on the conservative right believe in big R rights given by God, and those big R rights given to you by God include the ability to act un-American, to act like a moron, and a lie, which is what a large portion, unfortunately, of the mainstream media does. Not all, but a good swath of them. Now, folks, by propagating a mythical Trump-Russia story completely fabricated by you, by insisting

in, you want to go back a while? You want to go back to, as Michelle Malkin does in her Michelle Malkin Investigates series on CRTV? You want to go back to Walter Durante? You want to go back to the New York Times defending the Soviet Union, lying about what was going on over there? How far do you want to go back

to show that there are elements in the media that are anti and un-American? How far back? Lying to the American public, deceiving them about a fictitious scandal while ignoring other prominent, important stories like Democrat scandals that could endanger national security?

What does that make them? Pro-American? I don't understand exactly. They're advocates for America now, lying to the American public to manipulate them to get you to believe that one party has a moral high ground over the other, despite the fact that their moral failings are legion? What part of that are you missing? So media matters, of course.

The clown group, angelo whatever his face is over there it's like oh my gosh bongino agreed there that uh some of the media are un-american they well that's because they are i'm just simply restating a fact the fact that the facts bother you does not bother me it should bother you that you can't these are just facts they just don't like america they don't like liberty they don't like our system of capitalism downplaying the venezuelan crisis i, the media cannot cover news anymore. They failed to do journalism. That's why I always laugh when the media tries to do economics. I always say economics. They can't even do journalism. Now, by doing this, they're really skewing the American public and they're

getting companies and people to do things that are really insane. A couple other stories I saw today. So I want to motor through these because these are really important to show you again how this culture war on the far left has gotten people to believe and companies to believe that you're safe with the fringe left. In other words, Joe, that is a safe space

to conduct business, to be accepted by polite society, despite the fact that the views held by the fringe left are fringe views. A very small portion of America wants Confederate statues taken down. A very small portion of America wants men in the women's room. These are the kind of fringe issues that it's now considered the, quote, right thing to do by companies and members of polite society to associate with these fringe elements because

these fringe elements propagate this idea that this stuff is all okay through the media, academia, and the culture on TV and Hollywood. Couple examples of this. I saw a story in the Wall Street Journal today. I'll put it in the show notes. It's by Kim Strassel, who's done some really good work lately on this.

I'm really not surprised. I'm disappointed. I'm upset. To be honest with you, I'm slightly enraged by it, and I just want to be very clear, though, getting the story out, so I deliberately waited getting in on this. is now pledging to donate a half a million dollars to who? The Southern Poverty Law Center. Ladies and gentlemen, a fringe group that started with a very noble cause and did some great work against the Ku Klux Klan and has now turned into an anti-conservative group that labels anybody they disagree with as a hate group.

One of those labels, the labeling of a hate group, using the hate group label, excuse me, on the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., a a pro family values organization i am intimately familiar with was by the actual shooter blamed that label joe blamed by the shooter this guy floyd corkins a guy who walked in there and shot the place up he said he was motivated by the southern poverty law center's labeling of the family research council as a hate group despite any evidence that that's actually true, and only because they disagreed with their view on gay marriage. This is a fringe group. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group. This is a fringe element dedicated to the destruction of conservative libertarian-based

groups who disagree with them politically. That's all they are now. They started with a noble cause. They have transformed themselves into a politically motivated, partisan outfit dedicated to attacking conservatives, liberty, and American values. That's all they do. Yeah, JP Morgan and Apple, Apple, which I'm really at a crossroads here what to do because it's tough for me right now to unintegrate myself without losing the show apple and jp morgan have donated millions of dollars now pursuant to what happened in charlottesville to this organization to continuing labeling you you hate mongers

folks it's safe on the left it's safe i. I wrote down some examples so I wouldn't forget this. I saw a commercial today on TV. Goes to show you again how it's completely safe to associate yourself with the fringe left, but very dangerous to associate yourself with mainstream conservative values. Mainstream. Yeah. I was watching, preparing for the show, and I see a commercial for Infinity.

And who's the new Infinity spokesperson? Steph Curry, the point guard for the Golden State Warriors. Fantastic basketball player. Skills are tremendous. Going to be one of the greatest players of all time, if not one of the greatest right now. Admire his skills. Respect his skills. Don't of the greatest right now. Admire his skills. Respect his skills.

Don't respect the guy at all. He's taken some ridiculous, I think, outspoken political stances, and I think he's grotesquely misinformed, and I just don't respect that. I respect people who do their homework and think. This guy's not a thinker. He has taken some incredibly ignorant stances against Republican values, Steph Curry, but, of course, putting him on an Infinity commercial, Infinity doesn't care.

Why, Joe? It's safe. Because it's safe. You're damn right it's safe. You bet. Yet I'll tell you right now, you put a guy like, let me see,

who's a, oh, James Woods, who's a Hollywood actor. A lot of you know who James Woods is. He's been in a ton of different films. Follow his tweets. Yeah, James, he's a very prolific tweeter on the Twitter social media forum. James Woods is a diehard conservative.

I guarantee you right now, you put James Woods in that commercial, despite the fact that probably 55% of America agrees with his political stances, maybe 50, there would be a public backlash generated by who? Not the public, but by the fringe, the media matters, clowns, the Southern poverty law center clowns. And it would be, Oh, we got to, we got to get away from despite the fact that you're, you're trying to sell a product. You would think you'd want to sell the product to the majority of Americans, despite associating yourself with fringe ideas. It's perfectly okay to put Steph Curry up there. Now, Joe, do you remember discussing this in the past with Jamie Foxx?

Mm-hmm. And Verizon? I was telling Joe one time. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember this? I was watching, I forget what it was. It was a night, I don't know, America's Got Talent or something like that. There's not many family-friendly shows you can watch anymore.

It was about a year ago, yeah. Yeah, and even that show's kind of taken a... I'll take a pass on that, but Ninja Warrior, maybe my daughter loves that. And I saw a commercial for Verizon. Who comes out? Jamie Foxx. The actor Jamie Foxx, who defended Quentin Tarantino,

who called cops murderers. Right. Now, that is a fringe left position accepted only by fringe, wackadoodle leftists. But that Jamie Foxx accepts that position, no backlash at all. Because the media would have to generate the backlash and they love far left positions

because they're far leftists. Academia, college professors that have influence over thought pieces that go out there in think tanks. No backlash. The Hollywood culture, no backlash at all because they love it. The idea that cops are murderers, that's probably widely accepted in hollywood no backlash at all now

why am i discussing this today well you know i i'm just coming home yesterday and i'm reading this piece about how the naacP now wants a meeting with the NFL because they're insisting that Colin Kraepernick should be hired. Colin Kraepernick, the quarterback, the failed quarterback for the 49ers who had had an abysmal season, who thinks kneeling to disrespect their country and national anthem is some form of uh protest uh the naacp now feels that he should be hired despite the fact that he sucks he's a terrible quarterback and that he's a public relations nightmare because again joe the overwhelming majority of americans love our country which shouldn't surprise anyone the nfl is a private organization the teams are privately

held they have no obligation to hire this joker at all. This is a guy who wears socks depicting cops as pigs. He wears shirts praising Castro and the murderous regime in Cuba. Safe. It's all safe, Joe. Yeah, safe. You are absolutely all safe stuff to do. Cops as pigs, perfectly safe in the media. You know, Castro, oh my God, we got to love him.

He's a socialist. He's a killer. He's a communist we love them perfectly safe stuff now I bring this up because it's what's fascinating about this is the NAACP is demanding a meeting with the NFL because they're saying now they're gonna boycott which is great joy you're a little late to the party NAACP now I'm boycotting for totally different reasons because the NFL is not shutting this disrespect to the national anthem down. Do you want to do it?

Do it in the locker room. And for all the, by the way, for those of you emailing me that, and I appreciate the emails. I genuinely do always Daniel at Bongino.com. I read negative commentary and positive commentary. I've responded to liberals who've emailed me. I don't take any of this personal, but you're not listening to what I'm saying. Those of you who've emailed me about,

well, Dan, I thought you were a free speech guy. Joe, I don't know how many times, I'm really getting a little disappointed in some of these emails because I usually, think through what you're saying before you email. I am not saying, neither is Armacost, in any way, shape, or form

that Colin Kaepernick's rights should be violated. I respect his rights, not him. If he wants to kneel and say America stinks, he's perfectly entitled to do that. No one's suggesting the police should arrest him. I'm telling you the NFL is a private organization, and the NFL can tell him whatever they want. And the NFL, which has a brand that you're trying to sell to me, should be saying, and other people like me who love and respect this country, they should say, this is our brand. You have the absolute right to protest. But you can't do it on a field I pay for.

Think about what you're telling me when you email me. I don't get it. I thought you were a free speech guy. Yes, I am an absolutist. He absolutely has the right to say whatever he wants. He doesn't have the right to say at my house. Joe, if you invited Krapernick over your house for a house party, right? And he decides in your house to say you have a family coat of arms to go spit on it.

Yeah. Are you obligated to keep them in your house no i'd say crapper nick get the hell out of my house that's exactly you know he he's going from a quarterback to a take him back because if he could if he could cut the mustard he'd have a gig funny dude you make me laugh it's true i like it's just okay get the hell out of my house that's what you'd say. You'd beat it. Go outside. When you're outside my house on the public street

off my property, say whatever you want about the Armacost coat of arms. I don't care. I mean, you may offend me but it's not like I can do it. I'm not going to have you arrested. You're not infringing on his free speech. You're infringing on his right to crap on your property. That's what the, it's the NFL's property.

This guy has no legal right to say whatever he wants on that property held by the NFL. So the interesting part about this and what got me fired up and why I wanted to do this show about how it's safe to associate with the fringe left, despite the fact that they're anti-American clowns, is that, folks, the NAACP is probably going to get this meeting for what is, frankly, a fringe demand.

Now, the NAACP, another group that started with a very noble cause and has veered off into being a branch of the Democrat Party, they are probably going to get this meeting with the NFL. And what I find interesting, Joe, and they haven't yet, to be fair, the NFL has not agreed to this meeting. And the meeting is for, again, what I think an extraordinary demand, that he must be hired, Krapernick. Because Krapernick, he's black, so we must defend him,

even if he's anti-American. And you must pay him, too, to be anti-American and alienate your fans. This is an extraordinary demand now I'm just setting this up because we'll probably know on Monday or by next week what happened if they get this meeting I want you to ask yourself one question how come you didn't get a meeting I don't mean you personally but I mean the 40 to 50 percent of Americans that define themselves as conservatives, libertarians, or Republicans, or even conservative-leaning Democrats, ones that are upset at the NFL for allowing this guy to sit on the sideline and crap all over the country.

How come you didn't get a meeting? How come there wasn't a meeting with the Heritage Foundation or a meeting with Tea Party groups? Oh, God, the Tea Party? Oh, my God, we can't do that. No, but you can meet with an organization that's demanding you hire a guy disrespecting the country who wears Castro shirts and socks with cops depicted as pigs. That meeting's okay. Not only does he do it, but we should pay him for it.

That meeting's fine. But a meeting with normal, everyday Americans who represent conservative values. Joe, the backlash in the media, academia, and Hollywood, again, the fringe, I can't say this enough, would be severe. But if the NAACP gets a meeting demanding you pay this guy, everything will be cool.

It's all good. Nobody will care one bit. Folks, it's disappointing because as I was flying back, I was thinking we cannot even agree anymore on a common set of facts. And for those of you who heard me on Hannity Radio today, I respect Spencer Tillman a lot, but I had a pretty fiery debate with Spencer Tillman,

who was an old NFL player and does commentary now. And to be fair, he doesn't come on to talk about politics. He kind of got caught up in the Dan Bongino wrecking ball yesterday. But it was a little, yeah, I don't know if you heard this joe but it was it was a for those of you again a little behind the scenes if you go on hannity radio it's common to do obviously one segment and it's the length of the segments up in the air there's only a couple hard breaks when you go on air it's usually at this joe knows the bottom of the hour yep and the top of the hour the rest are what they call floaters, right? So you could take an interview five minutes longer if you want. I knew this was getting spicy, me and Spencer Tillman, because the interview went on a long

time and Sean was like, hey, can you stay past the break? I was like, okay, sure. And it wound up going over two segments. But I had this kind of back and forth with Tillman and he, you know, he brought up the point that, you know, oh, maybe he isn't a clown, Kaepernick. Like, you shouldn't call him a clown. And fair enough that he was talking to me because I called him a clown. But he is a clown because he's like, oh, he's standing on principle. I go, what principle is that? And it got spicy.

I go, Spencer, tell me what the principle is. What principle does wearing socks literally with cops depicted as pigs, what principle is that? Is it that it that i mean what's your principle that that literally cops are engaging in some what was that movie uh that show there was a tv show manimal right was it manimal it was back in the 80s or 90s where this guy used to be able to turn into animals like sharks and stuff it was on for i loved it i thought it was the goofiest show ever but i remember the name that's all yeah you remember that like the guy he turned into a shark in a pool and eat someone or something but the animal like is is that the principle that he really believes that male police officers and

female police officers can physically transform into pigs no the principle he's trying to put out there is that a pig is largely considered a dirty animal for strange reasons but it's considered a dirty animal and comparing anyone to a pig is never considered a good thing it's considered an act of disrespect towards cops well that's his principle spencer that's what i was trying to say like what principle are you defending he's defending the principle of what socialism you mean the murderous system responsible for the deaths of of millions of people what what principle is? You mean the murderous system responsible for the deaths of millions of people? What principle is he defending there? The brutal use of government force to murder people who don't provide for the government?

What principle? This is what I'm saying. Kaepernick, he's a clown. He doesn't even know what principle he's defending because he's too dumb to figure it out. And we're all supposed to go, oh, hey, we got to respect this guy. He's got principles he's full of crap he's a bs artist he is a bull you know that's all he is and what the point i wanted to bring up yesterday too about crapper nick is joe not everybody in the nfl is a multi multi-millionaire

right you know how i know that because i know i'm not going to say his name or where I know him from, but you know, my prior jobs, you probably figure it out. He didn't make it in the NFL. He spent about two years there despite an illustrious college career, hurt his neck, had a hard time moving his neck and eventually had to take up another line

of work. I got news for you folks. He's not poor, but he's pretty middle class. Not everyone in the NFL is a multi quadrillionaire. Many are. But there are guys who go to work because they love football and they love their jobs.

And it's really sad that Krapernick in this unprincipled clown piece of garbage has decided to take down an entire organization on a principle he doesn't even understand and isn't even willing to articulate. And I don't think spencer tillman should have

defended him but i respect spencer's opinion i understand these sportscaster he tries to stay out of politics so i didn't mean to get hostile with him but i i just don't this guy gets no respect from me uh or anybody i know for that matter nobody i know respects this clown all right um folks are you prepared for the next pending landfall of a storm? Or God forbid, I mean, it's probably, I don't mean it's a really bad time right now because Hurricane Harvey, I'm actually looking at the tracker right now. They're projecting landfall as a category three. And I really don't mean to use this moment to try to sell you a product. I know that kind of sounds bad, but it is important.

I mean, we do have to go get prepared. And this is one of those times where you think to yourself, are you prepared if something were to happen? My Patriot Supply has a month's supply of emergency food. Again, I understand the timing is really awful, but these times should remind us as well that we need to be prepared. We ensure everything in our lives that matters. We ensure our health. We ensure our car, our homes. We ensure our teeth. Insurance is meant to provide a safety blanket in case of some kind of impending disaster. You know, you have the threat from the North Koreans. I mean, you look at some of these food shelves that are barren. God forbid we had a couple weeks without power. You know, there's an expression out there, you're only four missed

meals away from chaos. And Thomas Sowell always uses this quote. He says, the society and civilization are a thin crust on a volcano. Folks, we have to be prepared. Go to My Patriot Supply. The email, I'll give you the website. It's preparewithdan.com. That's preparewithdan.com. And they'll get you a month's supply of emergency food. It's breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It lasts 25 years, folks. All you need is water. That's all you need to prepare it. Keep it. Stick it in your closet. I hope you never need it, but better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Go pick up your month's supply of emergency food today. And again, God bless those people over there in the hurricane zone. I live in Florida. Sadly, even though I've only been here two years,

intimately familiar with hurricane prep. A lot of you listened to the shows last year. I know Joe was, as we were actually going through it, my wife and I looked. I saw those screens that you put up, the affordable screens. Yeah. They have accordion shutters. Yeah. I mean, you have to shut down your whole house. It looks like a roll down gate in Florida, but you have to have either impact windows, accordion shutters, or hang shutters here in Florida. And luckily for us, it only made landfalls, a Category 1. It was loud. It sounded like a loud thunderstorm.

But the people in the Gulf right now are looking at potentially a 2 or a 3 and some pretty significant flooding. This is serious stuff. So get prepared, and God bless you. I'll be praying for you. I never say that if I don't mean it, if you live in that area. So, yeah, God bless you, folks. I hope we can get through this with the least amount of damage possible, but it looks pretty spooky right now.

Okay, let me see. McConnell. Oh, gosh, that McConnell thing went nuclear. Yes, I called McConnell a foie gras-eating insider swamp rat yesterday. Yeah. Fox and friends and that thing yeah uh yeah i got a little bit uh feedback on that one the story was in the hill the washington times but um you know i'm not gonna beat that up but just one quick thing on it because i want to get to one final story it's another example of how liberals try to do something the exact opposite happens and you like scratch your head listen i'm not trying to i get it the maybe the language i could use a little different but the point of the matter is until you've run for office folks you don't really understand what happens behind the scenes and one of the problems

i have with mcconnell is mcconnell and his allies it's not that you know this remember joe it's not just liberals who you know i use the example a lot of liberalism how policies designed to help you don't just you know not in other words like if they see you fall on the sidewalk it's not that these policies just don't help you up it's that these policies actually punch you in the face as you try to get up yeah that's but sometimes that happens with republicans too we have to call it out and this is one of the problems i have with mcconnell it's really not personal but mcconnell it's not that he doesn't it's not that he doesn't help a lot of Republicans out there. For those of you who don't understand what happens behind the scenes, there are McConnell-aligned outlets that strategically go after Tea Party Republicans. It's not just that they don't help them.

It's that they actually hurt them. They put up attack ads. And the reason is McConnell is obsessed with staying in power. McConnell does not want Tea Party aligned Republicans that will not vote for his continued leadership of the Senate Republican Party. That's the problem I have with McConnell. McConnell has put his personal ambitions, his power ambitions, he has put them ahead of principal conservative values and advancing policies in the United States Senate that would advance the conservative agenda. Folks, this is important stuff. This is not a minor distinction. He wants to stay in power. He's absolutely terrified that if Tea Party type

folks like the Chris McDaniels, who ran down South and almost won, that if these guys get elected, you know, people like me when I ran for Senate, that they will not vote for him in leadership. And the fact that they represent conservative values matters not to him. So he is an insider swamp rat. He can be particularly vicious and he needs to go because it's the very election, Joe, of people like that, the McDaniel types and the Tea Party types. It's their election that is going to push the conservative agenda when they get up in the Senate. So he's hurting our cause. It's not that he's just not helping it.

He's actively hurting it. And that's the problem I have with McConnell, because I did get a lot of, gosh, did I get a lot of email on that? Like a swamp rat, McConnell? Yes, McConnell. He's the swamp rat. Well, you explained yourself. There you go.

A lot of people wouldn't do that. Yeah, I use the Queens thing, too, which you've heard on the show a couple times. I do explain that. And yeah, people seem to love that. All right, here's another story I thought was great. But hey, before we get to that, have you signed up for CRTV yet? Folks, we have two really terrific shows on CRTV.

I'd really request you give a look, okay? Go to CRTV.com, promo code Bongino for $10 off. It's a fraction of the cost of what you would pay for cable. A fraction. Less than $10 a month when you use my promo code, right? There's a show Levin has up about McConnell right now, and it goes through the history of how McConnell has done this, how he has taken over the Senate for his own personal power ambitions and destroyed our conservative legacy in the attempt to move

not in all cases, but in the majority of cases where we would have had the votes and didn't because he pushed to have incumbents elected rather than people who would have actually advanced the conservative agenda. That's on Levin TV now. Secondly, Michelle Malkin has another unbelievable show about Walter Durante and the history of the fake news media. This is a really unbelievable show that will help you understand how the conservative, the liberal media, excuse me, pushes

an anti-conservative agenda over facts that the facts-based journalism has become opinion, opinion designed to defend liberal values. It's really a great show. Michelle Malkin investigates Levin TV's new show. Go check it out, CRTV.com put in promo code Bongino.

Alright, here's one of those stories that makes you laugh. Final story of the day about, again, liberals, you know, always trying to help and kicking you in the stones as you try to get up. So the Park Service, Joe, under Obama, National Park Service, had this policy where they were going to ban bottled water in these federal lands, these public parks, you know, under the theory of, oh, sustainability, Joe. You know, these plastic bottles, they're clogging up everything. They're destroying the earth.

We're going to die. You know what they always do, their apocalyptic view of the world. So they banned it. And they said, this is no more bottled water, water bottles in public parks. And everybody celebrated. And of course, the left thought this was great. But of course, the left, you know, intentions matter more than results. Now, we're going to get past the intentions portion.

The intentions were to, we're going to clean up public parks of plastic water bottles. What were the actual results? So, liberals, you can tune out now. This is where we get to the thinking portion of the show where we analyze what actually happened, not what you wanted to happen. Well, they didn't ban soda and sports drinks. You may say, so what? what well joe this may come

as a shock to liberals but people need fluids to survive were you aware of this um yeah you've heard of this before yes you will be a piece of uh teriyaki beef jerky in a public park if you refuse to consume fluids so So surprising many liberals, people had to bring fluids to the park to stay alive. That's a really, this was a tough one for liberals to figure out. So they didn't ban soda and sports drinks. Now, what's the difference between soda and bottled water?

One of them's carbonated. One of them's not, at least when you're talking about flat water, not Perrier or something like that. One of them's carbonated. One of them's not. at least when you're talking about flat water, not Perrier or something like that. One of them's carbonated, one of them's not. Well, why would you care? Well, carbonated water creates more pressure in the bottle, which requires a thicker bottle, which requires more plastic. After the ban of bottled water, because the bottles being brought into public parks now are now thicker, bigger plastic bottles to contain the soda and the carbonated beverages being brought into public parks. But Libs, keep in mind, so Trump, the reason this is a story today, and I'll put it in the show notes again, it was a journal piece, is because liberals are having a meltdown that Trump rescinded this stupid ban on bottled water and said you can now bring bottled water into parks. So they rescinded this stupid ban on bottled water and said, you can now bring bottled water into parks.

So they received rescinded this stupidity and liberals, despite the fact that all the evidence is saying that their policy totally backfired and there's more bottled waste in the park, not less. They don't care, Joe, because liberals don't care about the truth, folks. It is safe. It is always safe to make home with the far left, despite the fact that they hold fringe positions, not backed by research, not backed by results, not backed by data, not backed by anything, and frankly, not held by the overwhelming majority of Americans. It is

always safe to hang out over there with the left. And they're losing their minds that Trump rescinded this ban on bottled water, despite the fact that the evidence points because it doesn't matter. They don't care about evidence. They just care about their stupid ideology. All right, folks, thanks for tuning in. Thank you to everyone who reviewed our show on iTunes.
