get ready to hear the truth about america on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host dan bongino all right welcome to the dan bongino show producer joe how are you today i am ready to go dan oh yeah so uh people are listening people are listening to our show i've got a stack show for you today i'm starting to hear things creeping up on this show that mysteriously later on creep up on cable news channels when people go on and get interviewed. It's pretty fantastic. So we're about eight to 10 hours ahead of the news cycle on the Kavanaugh thing. We were about six months ahead of the news cycle on the spy game thing.

But I promise you, you're not wasting your time here. My sources on this have been absolutely terrific. All right, let's get into it. Today's going to be just an awesome show. Today, we're going to talk about going for it. Yeah. We should go for it. The Hail Mary pass.

Take that ball, do a Doug Flutie down the field and get this sucker going. It is time to redline this thing, bury that, hit the nitrous oxide and get moving. I got a plan. I told you the plan yesterday. I hinted to it. And again, as I told you, it creeped up last night on Sean Hannity's show on Fox News. I'm not sure how many of you caught it. All right, I'll get to that in a minute. Today's show brought to you by our buddies and My Patriot Supply, one of my oldest sponsors, one of my favorite sponsors. And candidly, one of the sponsors I continue to buy stuff from with my own money this day because I get a lot of the other stuff for free. So My Patriot Supply sent me at the beginning a box of emergency food and

me living in a hurricane zone, I said to my wife, this isn't enough. This is just enough for me, this emergency supply of food that lasts 25 years. So I went out with my own money, I kid you not, bought about eight to 10 more boxes. And I get one every few months just to keep my food supply fresh. Why would I do that? Because I live in a hurricane zone and because we ensure every single thing in our lives that matters. It doesn't make you weird. It doesn't make you crazy. It makes you crazy not to do it, to be quite honest. You insure your health. You insure your teeth, your car, your house, but you don't insure your food supply. Why?

Why would you not? It makes no sense at all. From hurricanes to earthquakes to cyber warfare, you should all have a plan to get through an emergency. Imagine the food shelves going bare. You know how long infrastructure can take to repair if something dramatic happened? God forbid. You had an earthquake where you live.

You had a major hurricane like Andrew down here, and they can't stock the food shelves back for a while, the best place to start is storing food that lasts up to 25 years. Build a supply over time like I do. Be ready. I use my Patriot supply. Always have. Make sure you do the same. Everyone in your household, everyone, I have four in mine, should have a four-week emergency food kit. And there's a special on them right now. You can save $100 when you go to my special website. I can't recommend these guys enough. PrepareWithDan.com. That's PrepareWithDan.com.

Whatever the world cooks up, know with this food, you're prepared. Okie dokes. So I was going to do this another way. It's a great, great, great piece by Gavin Wax, who I'll be honest, I'd never heard of before, but he wrote it in the Washington Examiner.

It is up in the show notes today, and it is a must read. I'm going to get to this in a second. It talks about kind of my new rules thing, but I want to cover what I teased in the beginning of the show, which is how stuff is starting to creep onto cable news at night. So yesterday, if you listened to the show, what did we address, Joe? We said, here's what's going on right now. Here's what's going on behind the scenes. And I want to hit two things we talked about to show you how they're starting to creep in to the conversation and how we have a battle plan going forward. Number one, let's get to it.

Lindsey Graham was on Sean Hannity's show last night. And another terrific interview is 9 p.m. Fox News show, Eastern Time. And what did he say? If you heard it, you're probably like, didn't that show up on the Bongino show? Graham threw out an interesting suggestion. He said, listen, if God forbid Kavanaugh goes down in this nomination, they don't get the 51 votes they need. Like I said, they actually need 50 because Pence would be the tiebreaker. But if they don't get the votes they need to get Kavanaugh over the finish line and confirmed on the Supreme Court.

By the way, the session opened, right? I told you. Adam B., my buddy, you know who I, I know what your buddy told you. I told you it would matter. Now the session opened in the Supreme Court and they're locked up 4-4, right? So I told you it would make a difference that Thursday day. Pushing it back to Thursday, the hearing for Ford, and it did. But what did Lindsey Graham say? He said, I think Donald Trump should go out there right now and say, here's what's going to happen.

We are going for it, folks. We are giving this ball to Barry Sanders and we are opening up that hole in the line and we are running down the damn field. We're doing a Bo Jackson hitting Brian Bosworth in the end zone. We are going to re-nominate Brett Kavanaugh no matter what happens. And we are putting him on this Supreme Court with raw, unadulterated political power like you've never seen. We are going to make this the referendum going forward. And you are going to pick a side and you are going to pick a side right now. Tell him, Chewy. Tell him, bud. referendum going forward and you are going to pick a side and you are going to pick a side right now tell them chewy tell them bud i am on the right side of this i told you this weeks ago i told you this weeks ago on this when this started take the vote get everybody on the record mcconnell knows

this get everybody on the record the vote must be taken this week it should have been taken two weeks ago no more delays everybody goes on the record if Kavanaugh goes down in that vote ladies and gentlemen there will be a red title wave in the senate elections like you haven't seen we have the potential to pick up three to four seats folks it will be a referendum do you understand where I'm going with this listen i'm not i don't want to sound like arrogant i'm not trying to be pretentious about it i'm not suggesting lindsey graham heard it from me i'm not the only one who suggested the idea that cavanaugh be re-nominated but i promise you i promise you there are very credible inside baseball people who are

talking about this right now so you understand joe you get where i'm going now the vote must go on the vote goes on buddy yes way to sum it up the vote goes on no matter what number one and number two no matter what happens it's one butt going in that supreme court seat it is not going to be anybody else but Brett Kavanaugh you vote him down Flake the traitor Judas Collins Murkowski Manchin Donnelly Heitkamp this fraud Doug Jones in Alabama I'm vote no are you Doug Doug A you sure about that babe because let me tell you this is it this is the Rubicon buddy you cross it with a no vote, there's no turning back. This is the Red Sea.

When Moses walked through, the Red Sea drowned everybody else behind him as they followed him. Right, Joe? Joe's a Bible reader. Everybody drowned behind him. When Moses made it through on that pass, everybody else was underwater. This is it. This is the vote.

Listen to me listen cavanaugh's butt is going in that seat no matter what you either get on this train or you get mowed down by it because it is steaming down the tracks at a locomotive speed and it is going to run you down like a dog if you don't vote for this we are putting him on that seat no matter what this is why i keep telling you no matter what happens with the vote this week god forbid you don't show up do not punish the gop for flake flake is not a republican he's not a conservative he is a judas traitor fraud please i don't like a lot of these guys either. But we cannot. This is not one of those fights where we start picking nits. You have got to vote.

I've been on this for three days because it is that important. If it bothers you, I'm sorry. I believe, sadly, there are still a small percentage of people out there who don't understand the gravity of this. If we lose this, Kavanaugh is booted off and does not get on the courts. It is open season on everyone. Everyone. Forever. Forever.

Mm-hmm. It is open season on everyone with an R or a C in front of their name, Republican, conservative, or an L, libertarian for that matter. Or an ND, Joe, not Democrat. I'm serious. If you're an independent who leans conservative, you are done. This is the generational fight. We have all been waiting to marshal.

It's happening right now in front of your eyes. I want to thank everyone in the audience sincerely. From the bottom of my broken soul, the Senator too, folks. I mean this. For your emails, people have been forwarding me their emails that they've been sending to their Senators. You've all been great about it. Some of them asked me for writing tips. Just be you.

Just be cool about it. But just do you. Don't worry about form letters. Don't worry about talking points. Just be you. Email them. Email them again. Email them today.

Forward them back your own email with a note. I still haven't forgotten this. Call their office. Light up and melt down their telephones. Call your congressman. Ah, congressmen don't have any role in advice and consent. Doesn't matter. Call them too.

Hey, I need you on this. I need you to back them up. Ah, we don't do advice and consent. You do now. You do now. Now you do. You will talk to the Senator because I elected you. I don't care that you don't have a vote. I elected you to do something and have a pair. You're going to talk to the Senator too. You understand? Good point. Yeah. I want the Congressman going to the Senator going,

hey, daddy-o, my phone lines are melting down i i gotta get re-elected too here i don't know if people are confused and they think i have a vote but you better do the right thing or i'm not showing up at any of your fundraisers either make everyone who votes no threatens to vote no or even leans to vote no so politically toxic no one would go near them with a 22-foot pool skimmer. No chance. Everyone goes down. This is the fight right now. Graham is right.

We re-nominate. He's going in that seat. You want liberals, listen to me right now. Listen to the show. I know you do because I read your hate emails. He is going in that seat. Do you understand? My mother used to look at me when I was a kid because we were bad kids, me and my two brothers. We were awful at times. Sorry, but we were. Playing softball on the corner, smash it, actual softball in New York City. You know how many windows we broke? And we would run after each one. The neighbors hated us. They wanted us all put in jail.

My mother would grab me by the ears and say, you won't do it. Do you understand? Do you understand, liberals, what I'm telling you? I'm not obviously grabbing you by the ears. I'm not violent like you idiots. But do you understand? We are going to use raw political power. And he's going in that seat.

This train is going to mow you down we're coming it's not stopping we're coming now for you it's it's weird again not in your way because we're not violent maniacs we have an emergency break in our behavior and it's our connection to big our god-given rights that we grant to you too because we're not tyrants like you maniacs but that train is coming down the track and it's about to mow you down like a dog you do not get in the way we are winning this fight no matter what Graham is absolutely right there will be no replacement for Kavanaugh Kavanaugh is going in that seat I listen to me folks he wasn't first choice. I've said this now 25 times, if not more. I wanted Mike Lee as badly as I've ever wanted anything in politics to get in that seat.

There is no man I know more constitutionally aligned and more principled than Mike Lee in the US. No one. I can tell you that from personal experience. He didn't get it. My second choice was Amy Coney Barrett, who I think is terrific and I think will be a nice replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Kavanaugh was not even my third choice, but Kavanaugh is the guy now. He is our guy. And what this guy has been through is absolutely inexcusable. It is a moral stain on the universe

that'll never be wiped clean, but we can make it right on our side. We'll never erase the history of what happened. This disgraceful, sordid, lurid, grotesque thing that's happened will never be erased. But we can make this right in the moral arc of history right now by using raw political power. Our way. The right way. The constitutionally aligned republic that's set up in a way where raw political power can overcome emotion and everything else.

And that's what you need to do right now. That's your mission going forward. You have your mission. Go take it. You have the football. You need to score to win this game. You can't stop. You can't allow the linebacker to stop you.

You mow him down. You Bo Jackson and Brian Bosworth their asses. That's the end of it but the boss thought I listen I didn't have a problem with Bosworth but I love Bo Jackson he dragged his butt three four yards into the end zone and that guy never recovered after that and the liberals won't either if Kavanaugh gets in that seat they will be humiliated they will be demoralized they will be defeated like they deserve to be for this grotesque stain on the cosmic universe they've they've imbued within the fabric of this place

it's disgusting what they did we're gonna go for it trump's team should come out right now and listen to be fair trump has been pretty strong on this. I think he's already. And I want to listen not to get into the butt kissing. I'm not trying to do that here. You know, I don't worship golden calves, but I'm a big supporter of the president. Joe, the president has handled this thing meticulously.

Yep. There are people out there. Oh, he's out of control. His Twitter. He's so he's such a maniac. He can really folks. His answers to the questions on this have been spectacular he has been absolutely on point he's been fiery when he needs to be

he's been reserved when he needs to be he's been tactical when he needs to be he's been strategic when he needs to be he has been marvelous on this issue because this guy is not stupid. And I'm going to get to some of his four-dimensional chess in a minute, something I think he played beautifully from the beginning that nobody gives him credit for in the Never Trump movement. He has been right there because he understands the gravity of this.

This is the moment. This is it. We need to go for it right now. And he should come out. Someone should come out. The Senate, they should put, and say there will be no other. This man is going on the Supreme Court no matter what. You will be an asterisk to history, Jeff Flake.

That is all. You will be an embarrassment on this movement. You will be a stain to both sides of the political aisle. You will be nothing more than a laughingstock and a cautionary tale told to United States Senate candidates in the future about the futility of your absurd movement to assist in the taking down of Brett Kavanaugh. We are mowing you down no matter what on this vote. No matter what.

You vote no and you take this guy down. We're going to elect more, more senators in November because this is the go for it moment. We are going to make your vote irrelevant. Irrelevant. We are going to plow right through you on this. And in November, when you're gone, we will re-nominate again. And when someone else takes your seat, hopefully McSally, we are going to plow through and you will be remembered as nothing more than a tail and a warning sign. People tell other Senate candidates and politicians, your name will be associated with one sentence forever. Don't be Jeff Flake.

Forever. Now, on to the others. Because it's not just about Jeff Flake. So as I said, there are two predictions that are starting to make their way out there. I don't know predictions. I'm not Nostradamus here, folks. But two things we discussed yesterday. The first one was the renomination of Kavanaugh.

No matter what, we are going to plow through. We are going to mow down politically, you idiots on the left, the opposition here. We're not you, you violent maniacs. We are going to use raw political power. We are going to renominate him. We are going to win in November, and we are putting him on the Supreme Court. Read it and weep. It's happening.

Secondly, what did I tell you yesterday? That now articles creeped out that are in the show notes that I have a great article in the hill I strongly encourage you to read the Democrats are absolutely panicking the red state Democrats and praying every single day that Kavanaugh drops what did I tell you on yesterday's show the Democrats thought by this point Trump would fold. They thought Mitch McConnell would fold. And they thought Kavanaugh would drop out. You think I'm kidding?

Read some of the quotes in the Hill piece about Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Donnelly, and Joe Manchin. Read some of the quotes from people who know them. What were they praying for, Joe? What were they, you know what, I should say, what were they praying for and what were they playing for? They were playing the game of attrition, my man.

You're damn right, daddy-o. They were playing a war of attrition. Pure old-fashioned political trench warfare. Boom. Where we are going to wait this guy out and drop so many absurd political bombs on this guy. He's a train raper. He's a serial raper. He's a serial raper.

He's a boofer, whatever the heck that is. He farts in college. Yesterday's news story. He threw ice at a guy. A guy threw ice at me once. It didn't end well for him either. He threw ice at a guy in high school. I mean, by far, of all the allegations that the New York Times actually printed,

or was it the New York Times, NBC, I think it was the New York Times. I don't even know. They're all the same thing. No, it was the New York Times. He threw ice at a guy. This is the new, he threw ice. This is it.

Let's disqualify him for the Supreme Court. It's vicious. I know, this has gotten so stupid. It's laughable. This is where they're going with this. You see where I'm, you're tracking?

They were going to drop so many bombs on this guy that the Democrats were sure that the old rules were in effect. How do you understand why my new rule shows are so important? Folks, it's not just me getting passionate about a new cosmic shift in the landscape going forward with these new rules. These are actual tactical boots on the ground things you need to be aware of that are going on the old rules were what the media piles on the democrats lob charges and the republicans cave like the wusses they are every single time and then something happened jo Joe. You know what happened?

Donald J. freaking Trump happened. That's what happened. And he said, nah, I'm good. It's my guy. We're not caving. From what I'm hearing, he had a, let's say, feisty call, Joe, with McConnell. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And he has been on McConnell and sayingnell and saying what joe take the vote what we've been saying forever no matter what you take the vote and you get them on the record why because the red state democrats heidi heitkamp joe donnelly, Manchin, and this complete fraud, Doug Jones in Alabama, complete phony, are in a panic because they don't want the vote on the record. As Joe just said, accurately so, they are engaged in a character assassination war of attrition, hoping they can drop so many bombs on Kavanaugh and his family that eventually they wear out. But it's a new day. We're not tired. We're not tired.

This is why I read your emails and I've never been so energized. Once in a blue moon, I, listen, you're free to be tired. You're not free to give up. You know, I grapple a lot. Mixed martial arts is my thing. There's nothing worse than having a guy in side mouth on you that outweighs you by 40 pounds. You're grappling for 20 minutes and your diaphragm can't expand and you can't breathe. No, no, there's no quit.

You can't quit. He can tap you out. If it was MMA, he can punch you out. He can knock you out. He can drop some elbows on your head, but you're not quitting. You're not tapping out. There's no way. You're allowed to be tired.

You're not allowed to quit. And I've been so reinforced by all your emails saying I've never been so energized in my life. I got an email, you know who you are, from a young female Democrat yesterday. First time in her life, changed her party affiliation. She can't stand this. She's so grossed out by what's happening. She's disgusted. This is our moment. This is where the heat's on. This is where we get it done. They're praying, praying that he drops. But nobody's dropping. Nobody's dropping. It's a Maginot line here.

We're not dropping. Nobody's dropping. It's only liberals. Listen to me. You know, I've been through a lot of adversity in my life and it's nobody cares everybody's got their own scars and i appreciate hearing your stories and i'm not i'm everything that's happened to me has happened for a reason but i'm telling you right now you have grossly underestimated the fight in us you have beaten us down for too long your racism charges your personal character attacks your misogyny charges your grotesque grotesque disgust for america you're kneeling in front of the flag you've beaten us down for too

long you have pulled the pin on a grenade you can never put back in. You have no idea. I'm telling you what's coming in November is not going to be pretty for you. I have never in my life seen such energy after. You are grossly misreading the polls just like you read them before election day. You know I hate political predictions, but one thing Joe and I were absolutely confident about, even when the headline said Trump's, Chris Silliza's article, Trump's chances of winning are approaching zero, Joe and I called every swing state. You can go back on SoundCloud and listen to that show on the Monday night before election. Why? Because we were out there.

Joe works in a conservative talk radio station and got all the phone calls. I was out running for office knocking on doors, and what the pollsters were missing was actual people. They had their focus groups. They maybe got a few answer machines. Maybe they talked to a few folks, but that's not what I was seeing. You have pulled a pin on a grenade that is about to go boom, big time. You have pulled a pin on a grenade that is about to go boom, big time. You have no idea.

Kavanaugh's not dropping. These red state Democrats are in a world of trouble. They were praying, praying, praying he's dropping out. He's not dropping out. Now do you understand? Please tell me this is, I'm going to read a quote for you from the Hill piece in a second here. Now do you understand, Joe, the importance of taking I'm going to read a quote for you from the Hill piece in a second here. Now, do you understand, Joe, the importance of taking this vote?

Because I've gotten a lot of stuff. Oh, yeah. From establishment GOP insiders. Yeah. And they're like, Dan, I like where you're going with this. But one thing. You know, you got to be more patient. McConnell doesn't have the votes yet. Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't matter if prediction one comes true.

If Kavanaugh is going in that seat, no matter what and we renominate him, take the vote. Let them all go down now. Let Doug Jones, let Joe Donnelly, let Heidi Heitkamp, let Manchin's political careers end with this vote. Flake is done forever. Collins will be done forever. She's up in 2020. Murkowski's up in 2022. You don't vote for him.

Understand your political careers are over. There is no other vote you can take. Not on guns. Not on taxes. Not on Obamacare. Nothing will save your political career. Nothing. This is it.

Here's a quote from the Hill piece. So just to summarize again, it out we're talking now but the democrat strategy was that kavanaugh would drop the fact that he's not dropping out and there now will be a vote mcconnell saying it will be a vote this week has them horrified because they understand that they're probably going to vote no. And this is the end of their political careers in the U.S. Senate. Joe Donnelly, Democrat from Indiana, said last week after Thursday's Senate hearing that he would, quote, gladly welcome the opportunity to work with President Trump on a new nominee for this critically important position. No, Joe.

Joey. Joey D. No, babe. Joey. Joey D. No, babe. Nuh-uh. Nuh-uh. That's not how it's going down, pal. No. Bleep you. Joey D. Joey D.

You are grossly misreading what's going on out there, Joey D. Listen to me, listeners in Indiana. We do very, very intense Google Analytics on our show. So I know there's a lot of you in Indiana. We need you right now. We need you to email Joey D again. Email, call his office again. Be cool.

You know how to do it. Let him know it is over. There will never, ever, ever be a recovery from this vote if he votes no. Number one. And let him know, number two, that you heard in the Hill he's looking forward on a, quote, new nominee. There will be no nominee. This is your lunch and you will eat it. It will be Brett Kavanaugh.

You have no choice. You are advice and consent. You do not select. This is our selection. You will vote yes. And if you don't, under no circumstances will you win this seat again. Indiana, step up.

You may say, well, Joe Donnelly already said no. Doesn't matter. They need to feel the heat, folks. The left pays people to send their emails. We pay in sacrifice, in sweat, in sweat equity, in hard work. And we pay with our bank account of liberty. We want to keep flush with funds the entire time. And every election of a Democrat makes a withdrawal from that fund every second.

And it's entirely unacceptable. No more withdrawals. Now we're making deposits. Joey D. Joey D. There will be no new nominee. Here's your oatmeal, pal. You're going to eat that oatmeal.

And if you don't, your political career is done. In case you think it's just Joey D from the Hill piece. And I quote, Manchin has kept in, from West Virginia, of course, Democrat, has kept in close contact with undecided Republicans during the Kavanaugh debate. He met with Collins, Murkowski, and Flake in a Capitol Hill hideaway after Ford and Kavanaugh testified Thursday and, like them, didn't give any hint afterward how he would vote. Here's a quote from Joe Manchin. West Virginia, you're up. We're friends.

We talk. There's no decisions on anything. No one told me they made a decision, and we're all still looking and talking and comparing, Manchin told reporters after the meeting. West Virginia, you're up. Same thing. This is no time to sit around. This is no time to jerk around.

It's no time to play Uno. Play that with my daughter. This is time for action. The do matters. Talk is cheap. Talk means nothing. Are you in this fight or not? No, I'm serious.

Are you in this fight or not? Listen, I'm not trying to be anybody's Tony Robbins on this. I can't say that enough. But folks, I love my job in the Secret Service, okay? It wasn't a joke. I loved it. It was the greatest job I ever had. It's all I ever wanted to do.

I had no idea any of this was going to happen. I almost went bankrupt after I left. Joe was with me then. We couldn't even afford the freaking microphone we bought for this podcast that I still have now, this RE20 with the big dent in the front. I couldn't even pay Joe. Joe worked for free for a year. Joe, am I lying?

No, I didn't mind it either. What did I give you? Like $500 once, six months in? And I didn't even have that. Yeah, something like that. I felt bad taking it from you. I know you did. We did this for nothing. I left my job to fight this fight and run for

office. I knocked on 10,000 plus doors over three campaigns. Sitting there, and there's a picture of me sitting there holding a sign in the pouring rain with Brandon Cooper one day in Prince George's County getting soaked. It said jobs, not taxes. Listen, I've been there. I'm not speaking with forked tongue.

All I'm asking you to do, I'm not asking you to quit your job. I'm not asking you to run for office. I'm not asking you to stand in the rain. I'm asking you to do one thing. West Virginia, Indiana, North Dakota, and Alabama with this phony Doug Jones. Email and call. Melt the internet and the phone lines. Send an email for you.

Send an email for your wife. Send an email for your dog. Send an email for your kids. Send an email for grandma. Send an email for grandpa. Send an email for everybody. There will be no new nominee. This is your lunch.

Eat it. If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? Oh, sir, can I have more? Do you know where that your meat? Oh, sir. Can I have more? Do you know where that's from? Yes, I do. It's Oliver. No.

It's not Oliver. No. I'm wrong. It's not Oliver. That is Pink Floyd. The wall. Okay. Again, before they went crazy.

Yeah. Before Roger Waters turned into an anti-Semitic jerkwad. If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. Yeah, yeah. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? No pudding. No pudding, Dougie. No pudding, Joe.

Joe D. Heidi. No pudding. No pudding. You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat lunch is ready and at lunch is brett there will be no other servings it will be no new nominee we will not back down we will not relent we will never surrender to you ever brett kavanaugh is going on that seat, and you are going to love it.

Do you understand? How do you like them apples, huh? How do you like them? How do those apples taste? That's exactly how this is going down, because we're tired of you. Yes, I said it. We're tired of you. We're tired of your hatred, your racism, your anti-American garbage,

your relentless attacks, your character assassination, your malicious, your anti-American garbage, your relentless attacks, your character assassination, your malicious malfeasance nonsense. You know, someone said to me yesterday, oh, Dan, you know, I thought you said that we always had the high ground because we thought Democrats were good people with bad ideas. I did say that at one time. I have entirely changed my mind. Those days are over. They are not good people. I'm not talking about the voters. I want to be clear on that. I'm not talking about the voters. I want to be clear on that. I'm talking about Hill institutional Democrats. I know Democrats aren't bad people.

You know why? I get emails from every day saying I changed my party affiliation to Republicans because that's not me. The Hill Democrats are not good people. What they're doing is evil. It's the destruction of a man's soul for their own personal political gain. How you like them apples when we put him right in the Supreme Court? Eat it. Eat your Wheaties.

Eat them now. No pudding. No pudding. None for you. Sorry. I should have used Preparation H. Yeah, probably. Those droids are probably hurting right now.

Oh, yeah. It's not even going to be able to sit down after the election. Oh. It's getting a lot worse. Gosh, it feels good. I feel so energized. I've been doing this for three years now. I've been running and been involved in politics for longer than that.

And I've never felt a fight. I mean, listen, nothing gets me off of Spygate. I love that case so much. I love it because I hate it. Nothing. My own publisher's like, you need to talk about Spygate. Nah, not now. No, I don't.

kavanaugh thing haven't we now this uh gavin wax worked for ted cruz and uh a new york city politician that was running for mayor uh but his insights are prescient they are very very good and they align with the context of the show we've been talking about for the last few weeks how kavanaugh has changed everything the old rules are now officially dead and the new rules, we are in war right now with them, are now in effect. So here's rule number one from Gavin, and I'm going to add one at the end. Trumpism has been vindicated. Trumpism is now the only option, Joe. There is no more pretending, as I've said to you before, I'm kind of summarizing what he's saying, but you may have heard this part before, number one, but it's worth repeating.

who will not be vilified as a Nazi, a racist, a gang raper, a train raper, a serial abuser of women, a misogynist, a xenophobe, an Islamophobe, and a phobophobic, histophobic, transphobic, homophobic, phobophobic, phobophobe. Drunk. We left out drunk. I'm sorry, and a drunk. Yes, and a blackout artist also. I'm very i'm glad you this is what i have joe he's got to throw those in those extras and that's right and you will be and joe believe me there are more we haven't considered i think so you'll be a flasher on the subway next um there is nothing so this guy wax who wrote this piece of the examiner says trumpism has clearly been vindicated and even some never trumpers may be starting to recognize this that you may not like his gruff style again he's from Queens I don't care I'm

from Queens I know Queens kids because I was one of them I already told you on a past show why Donald Trump is the way he is because everyone from Queens is that way. I grew up in Queens, New York. This is worth repeating. When you grow up in New York City and you grow up in Queens, you don't have the money of the Manhattan kids, but it is a suburb. So you always kind of feel like, well, we don't really fit in there because we're not the social elites. We don't get the benefits of being in that elite circle in manhattan but they're suburbs you have pilots you have some architects you have a whole lot of cops and firemen so there's always a complex i know i'm right on this because every time i say this by the way the queens people email me and go, dude, bingo.

You don't fit in the elite social circles. But the thing about Queens, too, is Queens has its edgy parts. But because Queens is a suburb, it never gets street cred, Joe, for the Queens kids being tough guys. It doesn't. But the Queens kids are tough. The Queens kids I knew were really, really, we used to call them, I used to call me and my buddies, you call them hard rocks. You could tell a hard rock when you saw them. And this friend Garrett, he used to smoke cigarettes and he was just a savage street

fighter. And the reason he would smoke cigarettes, I don't even think he liked cigarettes, is because if you step to him in a fight, no, I'm not kidding. His thing was he would flick the cigarette in your face and then beat the snot out of you. He knows who he is. I'm pretty sure he listens to my show now. He knows who he is. I worked with him in a job one time. This kid was a hard rock, man. He took nothing, nothing. You step to him and I'm not, listen, I'm not getting into a moral argument what was right and wrong. I'm not kids. For the kids listening, trust me. Avoid spending 20 years of my life plus fighting in mixed martial arts.

Get out of a fight at every single opportunity unless you need to defend yourself. You're not going to get anything out of it but a couple of broken chiclets in the end. And you'll probably get locked up. I'm just telling you, the parts of Queens I grew up with, they weren't as edgy as the Brooklyn kids. This is what I'm getting at. We never got the street cred of the Brooklyn. All you had to do was say you grew up in Brooklyn and you were automatically a tough guy. So the Queens kids don't fit with the rich people

and yet they don't fit with the Brooklyn kids who had an automatic edge to them. So they always had something to prove. That's a Queens kid. That's Donald Trump. It explains the exaggerationation the hyperbole the big talk everything's huge it's magnificent that's who trump is he's a street kid yeah you're gonna people say oh he grew up with a multi-million dollar thing listen you got it

yes he may not have been in the streets you know ticking butt and taking names i get that but there's a mentality you can't escape when you grow up in New York City. It's population dense. There is no rich, poor neighborhoods where you don't interact with people who are poor or middle class. None outside of Manhattan. Where even then you interact with people

who work for a living. It's not Beverly Hills. Trump has something to prove. There's no more pretending that these people can be appeased and we've never had a better street fighter in there who has now given up on any pretense that kissing these people's collective butts was going to make them go away

rule number one Trumpism vindicated now as a quick addendum to this I mentioned this before kind of addresses this a little bit in the piece in the beginning Gavin Wax Trumpism. Vindicated. Now, as a quick addendum to this, I mentioned this before. Kind of addresses this a little bit in the piece in the beginning, Gavin Wax. Did Trump pull a four-dimensional chess move that a lot of people missed?

Listen, you know how I feel about this. I think a lot of things get attributed to 4D chess that aren't. I think this was absolutely elegant and it's genius. When Donald Trump picked Brett Kavanaugh, a lot of conservatives didn't like it. They wanted Lee. They wanted Coney Barrett, Amy Coney Barrett. They didn't want Kavanaugh. They were afraid of some of his opinions. They thought he might be a squish. I don't think he is. Looking at his judicial record, I don't think he is a squish. I think he was a good pick. But a lot of people question why, Joe. Why would he do that?

Why not just go with Amy Coney Barrett? What a genius move now. Joe, who did Brett Kavanaugh work for in the White House? Was it Barack Obama? Nope. Who was it? Was it George W. Bush? Yes, it was.

At the time, everybody was like, man, we don't need a Bushian. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the only guy right now in this Manichean red line fight. This is the only guy right now who can unite the entire factions, the entire ecosystem of Republican factional voters out there that could unite behind him. This was a genius move by Donald Trump. Now, why do I say it was a 4D chess move? I agree with him on this. I agree with the writer because I think Trump understood the Democrats were going to make this that red line moment for themselves too. And the only way to push Kavanaugh through that wall, to break through that thing, full speed juggernaut style, right?

The only way to do it was to get someone who was going to have the backing of George W. Bush, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and others. You cannot have factions develop when you're in a red line fight. When you're in a battle this important, where everyone is marshalling all their efforts in the Infinity Wars here, you cannot possibly have factional divisions. Trump beat everybody to the punch on this and nominated probably the one guy that would get the overwhelming support of multiple factions in this fight and would unite everybody in this effort. It was a genius, genius move. Okay, so one, the vindication of Trumpism. We can't appease these people. Number two, the reason I mention that is because it parlays right into what we're talking about now.

The Republicans have to unify when it counts. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, I don't worship golden calves and neither should you. This show has been not only critical but hypercritical on the Republicans up on the hill on spending. It's been a disaster. They deserve to be called out. You know I've had some disagreements with Trump on trade. I haven't even gotten to to the new nafta thing yet um i promise we'll get to that this week don't worry i'm not leaving it out it's just this is this is the fight of our time right now but folks when it matters and this matters this is a generational fight for a lifetime seat that

has the potential to tip the balance of the Supreme Court back to its original constitutionalist intent. There is no room at all for squishes. As Margaret Thatcher said, don't get wobbly. You cannot get wobbly. We plow through. The train is coming down the tracks. There's no excuse. You better jump on that train. There's no room for never Trumpism, maybe Trumpism, could be Trumpism. There's no room for that. That's all gone. Throw it out. This fight matters now. We cannot lose one, one foot soldier in this.

I'm sorry. Not one. So lesson number two, Republican unity still matters, even though the brand has been tarnished by our own people. I get that. But on this spending disaster, they're trying to lob at us for weeks.

But the nomination of Kavanaugh was a brilliant four-dimensional chess move to make sure that when the fight mattered, that everybody was going to be unified. Number three, the most important one. This is total war going forward. Ladies and gentlemen, the old rules are dead. They're dead.

It's over. Civility, decor're dead it's over civility decorum it's done align yourself with those old rules at your own peril you will find yourself politically extinguished i am damn sorry we got to this place and there are some red lines we will never cross. Conservatives should never, ever, under any circumstances, I can't say this, and listen, I'm not your lecturer here, we don't engage in any kind of preemptive violence, we are not the left, we will not lie and fabricate charges about people,

and we never should. But assuming now that we should not go after Keith Ellison, Bill Clinton, and others, and other people people for their sordid sexual past, because no, no, let's not do whataboutism. That's dead. This is war going forward. You want to play these games? We don't have to make up those charges.

Those charges are out there. What's up against Kavanaugh is made up. This is a trench warfare going forward. The old rules are dead. There's no more pulling nominees for made up fabricated charges because the media said he threw ice at someone at a party. None. There's no more acquiescing. You know, let's keep it on target here.

We don't got to get into Bill Clinton. No, we do. Keith Ellison. You see Keith Ellison? Democrat nominee for attorney general in Minnesota. Credible allegations of physical and emotional abuse. No, no. That's whataboutism.

You're damn right it's whataboutism. The new rules are in effect. You want to take this guy down? Kavanaugh for nothing? We're going to take your guy down for something. He's whataboutism. The new rules are in effect. You want to take this guy down, Kavanaugh, for nothing? We're going to take your guy down for something. He's not getting elected, not without us going full bore against him. No way. This is total war going forward.

You are in a boxing match with a guy wearing brass knuckles. I have said this repeatedly. Stop appealing to the ref for civility. The guy is whooping your ass. Fight. Get the gloves off. Like Rocky against Thunder Lips, right? Bite the strings and get your fists out.

This is a fist fight. Get in the party. Welcome to the party, man. Here's a quote from Gavin Wax's piece. It's a great one. People are starting to wake up to the war we're in, folks. This has been the great awakening. You have the walk away movement.

You have near historic black support for Donald Trump. You have what happened with Kanye yesterday. Don't't sleep on that don't insult that guy don't insult i don't know if he's a conservative i don't care everybody on the field the great awakening is happening get on the field and dance right now dance now now you dance here's quote. It's a great analysis here. The average blue-collar worker has their eyes wide open to never be closed again. I know this. I get texts.

I'm not even going to say who. But I'm getting texts from local three electricians, steam fitters, tin knockers, truckers, carpenters, people who've never voted Republican in their life. Even some cops. Who are telling me I cannot believe what's going on. Let me read that again. He's referring to this disgrace, disgusting stain on our entire civilization what's happening to cavanaugh the average blue-collar worker has their eyes wide open to never be closed again

ladies and gentlemen what happened to brett cavanaugh cannot be unseen once you see it the evil that has permeated the Democrat Party, you can't unsee it. You know, I'm not a huge fan of Eddie Vedder anymore either. He's a big lib. But growing up, I absolutely loved Pearl Jam. He has one of those songs on his albums, and at the end he says, you know, at some point you trade magic for fact,

and there's no tradebacks. There's no tradebacks, folks. There will be no pudding. There will be no tradeback. Once your eyes are open to this abomination that happened to Brett Kavanaugh, you can never go back and ever pull a lever for one of these maniacs again. What they did here is an epic human disgrace that will stain our society forever,

but we are in a war now. Open your eyes. And when you see what I see and what Joe sees and my wife sees, you'll never ever go back. No pudding. No tradebacks. Alright. Those are his three.

I want to add a fourth here. That's important. Just let me pay for the show. I always appreciate your patience. Our sponsors want to be here. They want to talk to you and that matters. So thank you.

BrickHouseNutrition.com slash Dan. Check it out. Rule number four in our continuing new rules segment. Ladies and gentlemen, the media now is absolutely clearly the opposition. I always throw in this caveat because it's important. I'm a believer in the Republic and a believer in the free press. I am also a believer in the free press's right to be stupid and they take us up on that opportunity every time. They're an embarrassment. They're a joke. They are nothing more than a political party at this point. There's nothing we can do about that. They have a right to be dumb. And they do. They use that right often. But failing to recognize that the media right now is the opposition and actually taking them seriously, even for a moment, you don't understand the war we're in. I'm sorry, but you're missing it. The reason I say that is because about 80%, depending on what poll you look at, of Republicans out there believe that the media

has a serious credibility crisis. I'm talking to the 20% out there that somehow you're not convinced. I don't know where we went wrong. I don't know what we missed, but I told you we need all soldiers on the field now. It is important that you understand this and let others know that what the media is doing is strictly opposition, opponent I'm not again, folks, I'm not. Please don't mistake this for anything more than us acknowledging who they are. There's nothing we can do about it. They have the right to be dumb. But it is up to us collectively to understand that NBC, the New York Times, the Washington

Post and others, these are not this is not journalism. They may wear their bow ties and eat their foie gras and hang out in their elitist circles and do their thing, but this is not journalism. It's activism. And it's up to you to recognize that, and it's up to you to let others know that too. This is not real, what they're doing.

What did we see in just the last few days? This is why I'm bringing this up, because you may say, Dan, you said that the other day. Yeah, but there have been new developments. This is my fourth new one. The ice story yesterday. You know, every day I say there's a new low. The new low is surpassed.

And it's like, seriously, we've now barreled through the bedrock. The new story the media was propagating yesterday was that Brett Kavanaugh threw ice at someone in college. Really? Now, I don't even remember who. Oh, it was Vince Colanese from the WMAL show in Washington, D.C. Vince Colanese tweeted this morning. This is brilliant, Joe. I wish I would haveade tweeted this morning. This is brilliant, Joe.

I wish I would have thought of this first. This is right. The Democrats are right. Kavanaugh is an evil genius. The perfect weapon, ice. It dissolves. I said, Vince, I'm horrified I didn't think of that first. That's it.

They're right about Kavanaugh. He's Skeletor. Hey, man. That's it. The're right about Kavanaugh. He's Skeletor. Hey, man. That's it. The evil genius is there. He did it. The perfect weapon. You know what happened, Joe?

He tried to develop an ice shiv because he was probably going to stab someone. It didn't work, so he just threw it because the ice shiv would melt away, leaving no fingerprints. This is so dumb. I'll be back to have vengeance. That's Brett Kavanaugh. You didn't know that? That's his voice. That was him in college.

Of course, that's Skeletor. Perfect timing. I didn't see that coming, by the way. I saw you fiddling around. I didn't know what you were doing. I didn't even realize you had that one ready to roll the ice story is a new low but i wanted to bring up something else showing you how discredited phony and fraudulent these media goons are and why they should never be taken seriously so the story yesterday the new narrative is that he's a drinker who blacks out and therefore he may not remember being a sexual assaulter and serial gang raper.

Joe, do you remember what Barack Obama wrote in his book? Something about getting high? Something about cocaine? Yes, I did not. I'm sitting here like, yeah. Come on, Joe. I did not write this. I did not. I'm sitting here like, yeah. Come on, Joe. I did not write this. I did not write this about Barack Obama.

Barack Obama wrote his book that in college he did hard drugs, cocaine. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me right now. I have never, ever touched a hard drug in my life. Barack Obama, the President of the United States, admitted in a book to using cocaine. But Brett Kavanaugh is Skeletor because he had a few beers and drank in college and high school when it was legal.

There's a guy running for Senate right now in Texas, another fraud, Beto O'Rourke. Beto was in a hit and run where there's an actual police report where it says he fled the scene. where there's an actual police report where it says he fled the scene. This guy's running for the United States Senate in Texas against Ted Cruz. Where are the massive media reports on this guy every day covering it like they,

you know, they'll say, oh, well, there was a couple fact checks to challenge Beto on it. No, no, no, no, no. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what the media does. I've been telling you this from the beginning.

It's not that they won't cover a story. It's the intensity. It's not a question of black or white. It's a question of on the margin. What I'm trying to tell you is the strategy with the media is and always has been. Yes, we will cover Democrat scandals

to say we did so we don't look like total hacks, but the intensity by which we cover Republican scandals will be dramatically worse. Brett Kavanaugh has been a front page story for weeks. Beto O'Rourke is in a police report alleged to have fled the scene of an accident on a DWI. Barack Obama wrote in his book about doing blow. What is he, George Young from blow? This is in his book. This is in his book. I didn't write this.

I didn't write, he wrote that. Where was the extensive, exhaustive, everyday media coverage on that? The media is the opposition. A couple more here, quick, on the media opposition line. Swetnick. Julie Swetnick was granted an interview,

another accuser of Kavanaugh, the gang rape accuser. Yeah, you saw it, right, Joe? It was on NBC News. In one of the worst interviews I've ever seen, Sean Hannity hit it right. Tom Brokaw, who I'm no fan of, Tom Brokaw, who put NBC on the map

with his biased reporting, needs to come out and make a statement right away disavowing what happened with this woman. She went on NBC News yesterday and totally humiliated herself on the station. Her whole allegation was Brett Kavanaugh was a gang raper who put drugs in the punch at parties and would gang rape women and get on the line. Yesterday, when asked about it, she said, oh, no, he didn't. I didn't see him put it in the punch.

He was just near it. Wait, what? So your allegation now is that you can't prove Brett Kavanaugh was involved in any train rapes at all. You have no evidence of that. You also have no evidence he spiked the punch, but you know he was near the punch. So now to be clear, folks, anybody near a punch bowl, anytime, warning kids, anywhere, you could be subjected to this later on too. Yet NBC ran with it. They ran with it. They ran with it.

This is the one represented by clown, clown lawyer Avenatti. Clown, clown, insult the clown. Clowns look at Avenatti and laugh. Clowns look at Avenatti and laugh at Avenatti. Clown, joker,atti and laugh at Avenatti. Clown. Joker. Fool. One last thing.

The media's news story, which a guy named Ag Conservative on Twitter, who, listen, me and him have not been the best of friends, but whatever, like I said, this is a time to link shields, and I'm not making this personal, has a great thread up about the news story that Brett Kavanaugh was feeling around about these, you know, testing the waters on these Ramirez allegations that he exposed himself before this woman and was calling people.

So, some woman's making an unfounded allegation about him and the word gets out there. And now the media report on this which is totally ridiculous is that somehow he was making these calls beforehand which is kind of funny joe because cavanaugh is actually quoted in the new yorker story about it so in other words brett cavanaugh was asked the question about these allegations and then the media impugns his character for cavanaugh then asking questions about the allegations. You're scratching your head saying that doesn't make sense. It's not supposed to.

The media is the opposition. Bank on it. Folks, this is a war we're in. You know, when I grew up, I loved rap music. Everybody did in New York. That's what we did. I don't even remember who rapped it, but this ain't no time for

halfway crooks. Remember that one? Some of you out there remember it. I used to love that one. This ain't no time for halfway crooks. I'm sorry. Street kids, this is a fight

we're at war with these people now I'm sorry however unpalatable that sounds it's time to get in a fight West Virginia, Indiana, Alabama North Dakota Illinois everywhere, you're up

email, call, everybody New York, California, I don't care. I have Democrat senators, doesn't matter. Make them feel the heat. New rules, raw political power. We will win. You will put Kavanaugh in that seat. There will be no pudding.

He is going in that seat. I'll see you all tomorrow. Do the right thing. You just heard the Dan Bongino Show. Get more of Dan online anytime at conservativereview.com. You can also get Dan's podcasts on iTunes or SoundCloud. And follow Dan on Twitter 24-7 at DBongino.
