All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. This is the first time I think I've ever done this. I have so much stuff that came in last minute that I want to get to today on the show because it's obviously Friday, the weekend, Venus weekend, college football. I'm stoked, Auburn, Florida game this weekend. Fantastic, awesome. I've never actually put content or written down content I want to talk about on the sponsor sheet.

Now, because I tell you guys everything, this is how I know like the sponsors for the show. They put together this little square piece of paper. It's not complicated. We read sponsors. It keeps the show free. I don't particularly like subscription only models. But I've never written content on the sheet. But I have no.

That's obviously my horrible handwriting. I have no more room. I have no more room on the paper. Why? Because so much stuff happened this morning. This particular week has been a busy news cycle. I stipulate the point that has not been the greatest news cycle over the course of four or five months, at least comparable to where we were.

Remember pre-presidential election? You had raids in Mar-a-Lago, President Trump in the Star Chamber courts every day up in New York. I mean, it was like you didn't even know where to stop. But today is going to be stacked, so I got a lot to get to. Also, I'm not throwing it out for clickbait at all. I promise you, there was an interesting piece on Fox is more about UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomenon, UAPs, which is the right word. Peter Ducey had a great segment.

I just want to provide some commentary to that, having been on the inside, because I think it's really important. So I've got a lot to get to you. Today show brought you by Chapter Advisory. You see, it's right there. Let me tell you something. Who actually shopped your Medicaid plan for you? For most people, the honest answer is nobody.

You picked something years ago where somebody picked it for you, and it's been quietly, been getting more expensive ever since. Millions of Americans are on the wrong Medicare plan, and you don't even know how it happened. It's not your fault. Most agents make more money steering you towards certain plans. So that's what they show you. Chapter doesn't work that way.

Chapters, advisors are the only Medicare advisors. that compare every plan nationwide. They're independent, not paid to push one plan over another. That's important. Folks who switched with Chapter last year, get a load of this, saved an average of $1,100 on health care costs. That is real money. And if you're already on the right plan, great, they'll tell you.

They'll tell you straight. It's free. Under 20 minutes, it'll take you, and nobody's selling you anything. Check them out. Call 667 Chapter to talk to Chapter today, like book Chapter. That 667 chapter, don't take my word for it. Go get your own answer. Check them out.

Thank you, chapter. 667 chapter. Today's show also brought to you by, it is the morning. What is my morning ritual every day? Like out coffee. It is the official coffee, the Dan Bonino show. That is the brutal, you get it, B-R-E-W,

So I got some UF those stuff. I want to talk in the beginning of the show today about something I mentioned. I believe on the Monday or Tuesday show about Butler and the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump that I think is critical.

Please stay tuned for that in the beginning. But just first, I want to recognize someone who is really important to me. Well, what happened? Folks, you know, when people pass who are close to you, I had this happen very recently with a family member of mine. It was really traumatic for me, but I considered this guy a family member of mine too. His name was Andrew Padula. He was in a really horrific accident, and he passed.

I've known him for well over 10 years. I choose to celebrate people's lives. God takes people for all kinds of reasons. We'll never understand. This was my campaign for Congress, all the yellow shirts out there. That was Andrew right there waving. He had a horrific car accident, and he's with Jesus now. So, Andrew, thank you for everything you did for us.

I'm just going to tell you something. If you ever run a campaign for office, you need an Andrew Padula. campaigns are ugly business folks i was talking to jasmine about this this morning people will do anything to win you need a um let's call them a bouncer on your campaign those who run for office know what i mean i'm not talking about anything illegal at all i'm just saying if there was a ninja on the campaign it was andrew padula he sent me a box cutter with no razor one time and i knew exactly what he was talking about. Some of you worked on my campaign will get that. Rest in peace, brother. I'm going to miss you. Andrew Padula said, you get older, man, right? In the chat, you hit your 40s and 50s,

and, you know, I'm not at my 60s yet, but people, you just start losing people around you. I don't pretend to know the reasons why. Okay, I wanted to address something quick. And I want to say, I say this with no malicious intent. I want to address something again. I addressed earlier about Butler, the Butler assassination attempt, and candidly all the assassination attempts around President Trump. It said we have to talk about it, like, well, which one? Because this has come up quite a bit,

and I want to say clearly and decisively, as clear as Scotch tape, I am not in any way, mad, disappointed, upset at all about people asking questions at all. Matter of fact, I'm elated. The entire person, of having a government by consent to the government.

I can't say this clearly enough, is that the government works for us. You should. You're obligated as a dutiful American citizen. I don't care if it's in a podcast, radio, TV, journalist, Plummer, HVAC, I, military. You're obligated to ask questions. That's the whole purpose. However, I saw this this morning from a guy I know, not that well, but well enough. I had him on my show quite a bit.

I don't think I've ever done his show. Matt Walsh, you know him from The Daily Wire. And I saw this this morning, and the only thing I was disappointed in in this tweet is the implication here and the ongoing kind of veiled attacks on my integrity when it comes to these things. So throw up the tweet this morning,

FBI dumps bizarre new details about Trump assassination attempt. What else are they hiding? It's, again, I'm not upset at anyone. I can't say this enough at all, not even a little bit. However, they have my number at the Daily Wire. If you're implying that I'm hiding something or, again, have some role and some cover-up, why would I on my, what is it, Monday or Tuesday show, Justin?

Why would I have publicly called for an independent commission, independent of the FBI? I get why to Matt and others. I fully understand why people don't trust government institutions. You don't even need, there's no clarification. I don't trust them. Trust but verify. Independent commission. Review all the work.

I'm calling for that myself. Please. I think it's a fantastic idea. Congressional hearings on all of it. And at some point a press conference should happen that I was exaggerating. My sister should be 40 hours long. But I'm not really exaggerating. press conference should go on if it has to all day. Ask every single question you can. However,

the information is not new. I don't know why people keep saying this. It was turned over by Cash and I in March. We already showed you the Fox News piece. Why did Grassley's office not really? I don't know. You have to ask them. There, here's the article right there from just the other day. The records were turned over to Chuck Grassley, Senator in March. You have to ask Chuck Radley why they didn't. I don't. I want to make a couple more points on this again. Again, please continue to ask questions.

Please, I'm begging you. I'm imploring everyone. This commission would be a great idea. I think it's an amazing idea so you can get the answers you need. However, with Matt and others, you could have just asked me, and I would have explained how a lot of what was said, in the video we did in the podcast, a lot is inaccurate. Again, it was six months ago.

It's not new. And I really reject, again, these constant attacks on my integrity as if I gave up the greatest job in the world, time with my wife and kids, to go live in a city. I'm not really that crazy about Washington, D.C. I moved out of Maryland and Washington, D.C., the Delmarva area for a reason. And I somehow went there to be engaged in a cover-up against my good friend, the president of the United States who called during the show yesterday is just really out of bounds. You could have just called.

I get like the clickbait stuff and others. I'm the one calling for that. You should have answers. Now, however, I need to explain one more thing. And this is important for everyone. Even the trolls who love to join the chat and say dumb stuff. If you actually do your homework, you'll figure out that everyone in the administration who knows me has acknowledged, in many cases, publicly that I was a huge advocate for transparency.

Just look it up. Look up my, we've shown it. It doesn't matter. They acknowledge this publicly. So what you're saying is not true. But second, this is the bad news. And this is where I, again, why I'm not mad at anyone. I'm really not for asking questions.

It's not my role to be mad. I'm with you. The questions come up often, well, why don't we know everything? And here's the bad news. Folks, you're never going to know everything in a law enforcement case. Oh, my gosh, how can you say that? Can I explain you? Are you interested?

If you're not, then seriously, tune out. Maybe you're not. Maybe you just, you say, no, I want to know everything all the time in a law enforcement case. Why doesn't the NYPD, New York State Troopers, FBI and DEA, just randomly dump entire criminal files? We have this thing called FBI vault for you to read everything. I'm going to explain that to you, why there's always going to be an information asymmetry. and people take advantage of that.

I don't know the answer of this, therefore something bad must have happened, is the implication. Sometimes that is the case. That is not the case here. The reason you don't have every answer and they don't dump an entire criminal file every time is I'll just give you an analogy,

maybe it'll make sense. Say there is a bank robbery, the FBI still investigates bank robbery, they're rare, but they do happen. And the guy who robbed the bank emailed an HVAC repairman the day prior to fix his air conditioner. The HVAC repairman, the FBI goes out and investigate and say, hey, I don't know nothing about it.

I got an email from this guy, John Smith. He said, my ACs broke. I don't know anything about the bank robbery. I showed up. I fixed it. He paid. That may be in the case file because you usually do an email dumb. But you are not going to put out the guy's email.

and the guy's contact, because you investigated it, and he has nothing to do with it. And there's nothing that's, you don't want the guy getting doxed. The guy had nothing to do with it. I can't explain this to you enough that in the law enforcement space, you want to take your rage out on me and cash

and the administration and everyone else, it would be grossly irresponsible to dump an open file on the internet. If we have no evidence whatsoever, you were implicated in a crime. I thought this was a Republican. I, to the libertarians out there who I'm with you. There's no bigger advocate.

Look at what we did in the FBI and FISA and other stuff. We didn't have to. We did it because we're so concerned with liberty and freedom. How is this a republic if you even had some brief contact with some person, man or woman who did something bad? And now your name and address is out there on the internet. There's always going to be an information asymmetry. Always. Sometimes it's a really bad thing.

There were information asymmetries at Rushing Gate that are very real and other stuff. And there's subject of an enormous investigation going on, which is now public. But it's not always something nefarious. And the hard truth is you can't answer every question. I told you these are level 10 problems. I knew when I took this job and put my life on hold to go do it, that I wasn't going to be able to say everything all the time. because some of it was a road to nowhere,

and we're not going to docks innocent people. But claiming, like, you know, somehow we're involved in some cover-up, me, folks, you might as well burn the whole thing down. If we're going to elect people who've been trusted allies with you forever, President Trump, I didn't get elected, and they're going to appoint trusted allies. And you think we went in there to engage in some conspiracy to screw you over. I'm sorry, like this show is never going to be a home for you.

And I'm really sorry you feel that way. All right, moving on. I just getting a lot of texts. A lot of people agree. Thank you. You know who you are from tons of people in the space. We're like, thank you for saying that. They do just want clicks.

I saw that in the chat. Thank you. But I do agree that this case and assassination attempts on our president, we need at this point, if we're going to open the kimono, this case, I understand. Independent Commission. I'm advocating it. Review everything. Please check the work. Check the work. I want you to remember just, you know,

moving on to some other stuff that don't ever forget, like the work that's being done right now by the administration, forget me and my role or anything. But the work being done by the Trump administration at the border on the economy and elsewhere, that ladies and gentlemen, there are real people involved in this. You know, there are real jobs being created with the new capital expenditure boom and the building in the United States again. The jobless rate being the, the lowest in American history. I was at a volleyball game for my daughter last night. I ran into this wonderful man. His daughter was playing on the opposing team. He comes up to me and he goes, Dan, you know, people are upset. They just don't know about the good news. You got to spread the word.

I said, sir, I got to tell you, I have spread the word. You got to help us spread the word too. 10, 10 and 10. This is just one microphone. We got an election coming up. Jobless rate, lowest in American history. Poverty rates, lowest in American history. Average household income, highest in American history. I'm not telling you we don't have problems. I'm just telling you, it's up to you to be Paul Revere, too. This guy was such a wonderful man. We had a good 20-minute conversation. I had to go, but I stayed extra time with him. My wife was in a little bit of a rush, but still, I shouldn't say, blame it. I was in a bit of rush. I had to get home to do some show prep. Sorry, Paul, I made it throw her under the bus. But I told me, you have to spread the word too.

I've already put this. I did a whole show yesterday on this. Crime rate, lowest in U.S. history, murder rate lowest, border crossings at nearly zero. And I want you to remember this is impacting real people's lives. I saw this on the White House account, the Rapid Response 47 account. I hadn't seen this before. Folks, one of the first things we did over there is we engaged in a massive crackdown on violent crime. By the way, at the direction of President Trump, who was, he didn't care, blue city, red city, green city, he didn't care. He wants you safe. If you don't believe that, that show is not for you. I'm telling you it was priority number one.

Why do you want to clean up D.C.? One, he's not running again. Two, Washington, D.C. voted like 99.9 repeating decimal against him. And he's didn't have spending his political capital cleaning up blue cities who will never vote for him. Like Memphis, which was a heavy crime city. So we went down there. It was our first test case for the violent crime crackdown. It was called Operation Vileged.

You can look it up. It's all public now. We basically clean the city out of a large swath of its bad guys. Here's a resident, a real person in real time saying, hey, man, this made a real impact on our life. We trimmed some of it down in the interest of time. But I want you to remember, this president and his leadership has impacted real people in the real world in real time. Check this out. Public safety should not be a four debate. I don't. care if you are a Republican. I don't care if you are a Democrat. We have children. We have regular people that might not even be into politics. That we care about each other's safety. We have to live amongst each other in these communities. And it shouldn't be up for a debate.

We all deserve peace. Our children deserve peace. I went from being pregnant and homeless to my first child being in this home. And we were welcomed with violence. My children deserve peace. and with the Memphis Safe Task Force being here, we've finally been able to get that piece. So with this partnership and with everything that we have on, especially with change.org, this is important to show our voice and to just show care. This is what is all about.

We just care. And if you're an American patriot, if you love this country, caring for our public safety should be number one. I just want to add to that very eloquent, just a minute or so there on how real people's lives are being saved thanks to the leadership of this president

you hear this a lot in politics I know you do like oh it's not a political issue and then what happens you guys are they go on to bash like this is not a partisan issue not getting dead and keeping you alive the number one rule of the Dan Bongino show don't get dead is not a political issue

how many times are I going to say this President Trump has spent so much political capital, cleaning up blue cities where the mayors and the communists in charge hate his guts. What is he doing this for? He's not running again. This guy cares about you. Attack his politics. You're free to do it. I don't. I like his politics. You're free to do that. But telling me this BS line, like, he doesn't care about the, you don't, no, you don't care. You're just angry at yourself and you're taking it out on an administration that cleaned up your streets to the safest levels we've ever seen in American history.

Folks, we listen to me, man, please. Let me take a quick break, but on the other side of this, we don't want any more angel moms. What do you mean? Folks, angel moms who have lost their children tragically to illegal immigrant crimes, we don't want any more, correct? We don't want to develop more angel

moms. I'm going to show you quick. Another thing, how President Trump is leadership, Tom Holman, Christy, Mark Wayne, how people in the DHS, ICE and CBP, ERO. Folks, the border numbers are like nothing you've ever seen anymore. We honor, we honor these heroic patriots, these angel moms, who have not just after this tragedy given up, they've gone and become advocates, but we, I think they would, we don't acknowledge, we don't want anymore. We want to stop it. real people are being affected by this. Real lives are being safe. Quick break, I'll show you what I mean.

Again, numbers matter. Hey, his weight loss injections, they're everywhere. But you know, a lot of people stop. They're a little worried about the side effects. They're not really interested in injections. Sometimes it's the cost. So I got a question early on from friends of mine. They were like, hey, Dan, you said you used a product to lose some way.

I did. I told him, listen, not a sob story. I'm into whatever. after I went through the whole cancer day, I was not eating good for the first time in my life because a lot of stuff made me sick. So I wind up eating, you know, breakfast cereal and stuff. I just wasn't eating a lot of healthy stuff.

So if you go look at old videos, you'll see I bulked up and I'm not talking about muscle. I was about 238 pounds at my peak. It is not a good way for me. My joints were hurting. So I called Miles. I actually happened from Brickhouse Nutrition. I said, Miles, you guys got something in the pipeline.

He said, I do. You want to try it out? and I tried out this product, Lean. L-E-A-N, fantastic product. I lost more than 38 pounds. I was down at one point of 195, about 200 now, but I never took any of these weight loss injections. This is the product I use.

It worked amazing. People asked me all the time, does it work? Yes, it does. Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things as these weight loss shots, but do it naturally. Lean helped me tackle my hunger and help support steady energy without constant cravings. The product works.

And Lean did something these insubes. injections don't. It helped my body turn fat into energy so I burn fat instead of storing it. It's one of the best products I've ever tried. My favorite part, lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not an injection. There's no prescriptions. There's no needles. I lost way with lean. I felt a lot better afterwards. So did my joints and I believe you can too. It's company's been with me a long time. Brickhouse Nutrition, fantastic products. Go today. Try out Lean. L-E-A-N.

The biggest kitchen table issue involves public safety and crime. We were told for years. I gave a speech this week on Monday night at the Club 47 Club, and I brought up, I love Ronald Reagan. But Ronald Reagan, I got to tell you, folks, I love Reagan, was not really great on the border.

He was dealing with Democrats in the House. I'm not, he had to, listen, compromises had to be made. That's the art of politics. But Simpson, Mazzoli, and others were not great border policies. We were told forever, nobody's going to be able to shut down the border. It's impossible. Well, he did. Bring receipts. Okay. Here's Tom Homan.

The borders are who, unlike Kamala Harris, I didn't go to the border, but I didn't go to Europe either. Tom Homan's actually been to the border. You think he's been there once or twice, Justin? Maybe. Maybe once or twice, like a day. You think he's been to, maybe? Tom, have you been to Europe? He's probably been to Europe.

He's not even the Europe czar. Here's Tom Homan on Fox News with actual numbers. Receipts matter, right? No one's saying, trust me, bro. Nobody's saying that, ever. That's why with the other issue, I told you, let's do an independent commission. No one's asking you to trust anybody. I'm literally calling for the opposite.

Here's the numbers. Check this out. Trump's looking at every loophole, whether it's ending TPS, whether it's looking at the proles that were given during the Biden ministries, illegal pros, illegal entry in the United States, whether it's rebeating all the refugees. We're looking at every loophole to, number one, protect this nation, protect our national security and keep a secure border. ICE is making a record number of arrests, historic number of arrest.

June, record arrest. July beat June. August, blew both those months out of water. And September's looking pretty damn good, too. Record arrest, record removal, safe as bordered in the history of this country. The president is doing what he promised American people. Promises made, promises kept. And with all of this, looking at the fraud, looking at, you know, the TPS, looking at the refugees,

all of this is going to make this country safer. All this is going to give us stronger. national security and it sends the message to the whole world there is no open border here anymore there's no free ride here anymore america first folks my friends members of the bonjino army and i do consider you my friends i'd almost venture to far to say as i say you're my extended family you've been with me forever some of you've been here from the original episode audience archivist judy knows knows me from episode one on sound clutch you may be the only one who can even find it it actually wasn't even episode one it was episode two episode one got wiped out

because we used the song we didn't know we couldn't use. So there is no episode one. You've been with me from the beginning. One of the constant themes of this show is I am just one person. That's it. The microphone we have is powerful. We have radio on afternoons now. We're launching on Monday.

Thanks for the on Bengino Report. Bongino Report AM. We're launching on Monday on close to 300 stations, morning drive time. we're going to have mornings. We're going to have 10 a.m. We're going to have afternoon drive. You know, we do appearances on Fox News. I do my best. However, even at our best week ever, social media, everything, maybe we reach 5 million people. Folks, the country's 330 million people. I can't change an election by myself. The gentleman I met last night, wonderful guy. Like, Dan, nobody knows this stuff. People are upset. I need your help. I'm begging you.

I'm like genuflecting on a bended knee. I can't bend because it's arthritic. please do the 10-10-and-10 thing i can't win an election by myself for the republicans i can't i need you we have a big voice it's not the only voice go tell 10 people this stuff the people upset about the border do you think tom homans lying to you again if you do aren't you like obligated to produce some evidence tom homin if we don't trust tom then what's the point just burn the whole thing down and we can all live in anarchy what's the point The numbers are amazing. The president, Steve Miller, Tom Homan, Mark Wayne.

They're out there right now doing the best they can engaged in a deportation exercise to make sure people here illegally know they can't come back. It's happening. Media spin, though, and this is why I really appreciate this gentleman telling me this yesterday, because it made me realize again from a real world person I interacted with. He was like, I'm the average guy. I'm like, hell, I'm the average guy. Well, maybe not anymore.

You got a microphone. No, I'm the average guy, folks. That's not an insult. It's a compliment. I was a police officer in New York. My wife was a web developer. My father was a plumber. My mother worked a register when they still had those before the scanners in a supermarket in Glendale, Queens.

There's nothing exceptional about my background. I was not born to two Harvard grads. I get it. But I'm glad working class Americans who power this country tell me this stuff. because it made me realize again the power of red news versus blue news, how people even on our side are falling for right before the midterms, nothing happened and people are upset. That's just crazy.

A lot of stuff happened. You can be upset about what happened, but saying nothing happened is just ridiculous. Millions of people have been deported. Crime rates are down. The economy's exploding. The Atlanta Fed's predicting 5% growth. That's an insane number.

that's crazy. We haven't seen 5% growth outside of COVID since like the Reagan years. Justin was kind enough to put this together. Just to show you the powerful effect the mainstream media has on getting people to believe this stuff that nothing's happening

and whenever is Republican in office, everything that is happening is bad. Throw up our red news, blue news. We're going to do this often here. Thank you. Justin pulled this yesterday. I want to, here's the red news first. Here's from June of 2026.

In other words, the Donald Trump presidency. Look at the New York Times headline. And I want you to look at the author, Lydia DePillis, because it's the same author in the blue. It's the same person. It's the same person. I'll assume it's a female who knows she's a woman, Lydia. New York Times, under Trump, inflation accelerates

the fastest pace in three years as energy prices bite. Now, keep that up for a second. Keep in mind, the inflation rate under Joe Biden peaked at 9%. The inflation rate she's talking about. about is roughly three, which is over the Fed target of 2%. And we don't like, but you would think in context, if you were writing an article Lydia DePillis at the New York Times, you would also cite poverty rates lowest in American history,

manufacturing's coming back, jobless rates, the lowest, median household income just hit record highs. You with the stock market, the NASDAX hitting record highs, you would think you would bring that up in the headline. No, because it's Donald Trump and it's red news, it's time to crap on him. headline here's the same lady lydia de pallas under joe biden i want you to see how the headlines completely contextually different oh the sound effects to this too very nice i didn't know that very clever i didn't hear that when we were going to the show rundown lydia de pillis july 22

u.s economy added 372 000 jobs in june defying slow down fears notice in the blue news notice it under a different administration, sleepy Joey bots, that all the U.S. economy powered through June. Powered Andrew. Powered. Donald Trump producing record job numbers too. But it's a prices are biting, inflation itself. I'm just telling you like, please don't fall for the doom or crap.

It was. Look it up. Angie, Andy, S-Chat, GPD. In July of 2020, give us like what was the rough inflation rate at that point. You understand how this gets into even Republicans' heads? That I don't, it's why I'm not, again, I'm not mad at all, and Matt or the guy.

I'm actually glad you guys brought this up so we can answer this stuff. But you, no way. AI is telling us it was over 8%. The inflation rate, I was like three. And by the way, you strip out volatile fuel because it was going, even less. I'm not telling you. Eight and a half down from nine, by the way.

I'm not telling you ignore fuel prices, ignore inflation. I am not telling you that. Stop, period, at the end of the sentence. Got it? Inflation's a huge problem. But let's not act like Joe Biden didn't kick Donald Trump in the nuts with this thing. He left him with 8, 9%, 7, 6. What do you expect them to do?

Wave a magic wand? I'm sorry, man, but things are happening. And I'm telling you, I feel so good on this Friday. Why do you feel good? I do. Folks, the tide is shifted against DEI, wokeism, men in the women's room, global illegal immigration. The tide is not only shifting in the United States with the Trump election and the rebellion against this woke crap. The tide is shifting everywhere.

Some of you may have seen when I'm about to play. If you haven't, you are in for a treat. This is one of the best speeches I've seen in a long time. There's a translator in the background because it's a Greek parliamentarian. Her name is Aphroditell Latina Paulo. If I'm saying your name wrong, it's not intentional. She's speaking to the woke European Union. and the commissioners over there and the bureaucrats.

And she just goes for it. This thing went nuclear on social media yesterday. But this is why I'm telling you, like, it's Friday. When you talk about the United States and the rebellion against liberal commies around the globe, talk about it with a smile because it's happening, brothers and sisters. Listen to this about a minute of this speech

where hat tip, hat tip, I don't have one on, but Aphrodito Latino Polo. This was amazing. Check this out. Mrs. von der Leyen, there isn't more of a racist than you in Europe. You've proved it. We're full of illegal immigrants. We have so many taxes and red tape. Our farmers, our fishermen are on their knees. You're closing European factories and thousands of jobs are being lost. You destroyed the nuclear family. You are ramming the woke agenda down our throat. the Islamization of Europe, you are using money in our pockets to pay the millions of immigrants that have destroyed our neighborhoods, they're murdering, they're raping, and at the end, you give them the right to vote. But you gave us paper straws, tethered caps, and gay pride. Not only are you Mrs. Merkel's best pupil, you've done better than her. You are involved in scandals,

Pfizer gate, SMSes that have disappeared, and you have said that you won't be under scrutiny. The socialists are backing you and Mr. Weber is backing you. They've got your back. You've destroyed things, Mrs. Fonderlander. Here it is. Look, can you zoom in? I don't know. When I tell you, you know, the goosebumps, can you see that at all?

I don't know. Maybe you need a better high-res camera. Folks, it's Friday. Smile. The rebellion against liberal insanity. What is it? The rebellion will be televised? It's already been televised. We're like, we're not there there. We're about 30% of the way there. But 30% is better than 0% of the way there

where we were under the abyss of the Obama-Biden years. People are rebelling all over the globe against this crap. They don't want open borders. They don't want men in the women's room. They don't want pride months and celebration months of everybody. You know what they want this lady once? She's Greek. They want a Greek celebrate.

Like just celebrate your country and move on. What a time to be alive. What a time to be alive. The golden era politics. Record low poverty, record low crime, border closed, rebellions around the globe against crazy, random acts of democracy breaking out. And the scientific revolution happening right now between AI, quantum computing, material sciences,

what a time to be alive. Folks, I understand. I'm going to discuss in a second the perils of not doing things right. We had to do nuclear fission right or the world could have blown up, okay? There are a lot of dangerous things. Flight, you don't do flight right? You class to prey? No good.

However, what a time to be alive. I don't want to be macab on a Friday. But man, I went to a real health scare in my life. A lot of you went through it with me. We all know we're going to die. But when you don't know if it's going to be two weeks or 30 years from now, for those in the chat who know what I'm talking about, someone comes back and tells you, I got bad news, you got a cancerous tumor, but I don't know what kind.

Well, what does that mean, Doc? Well, if you have kind of it, A, the A kind, you'll be dead in a year. If it's B, you got six years. However, it could be C or D, and we could possibly wipe it out. You're like, I don't like those options. You don't even hear about C and D. You just hear about A. You're like, I knew I had an expiration date, but I don't want to know what it is, and I certainly

don't want to be two weeks from now. Folks, when you get in these cancer treatments and you see these again, these six, seven, eight-year-olds wheeled in with childhood leukemia, it changes your whole life. It changes your whole life. Again, when I had cancer, I was 45, I thanked Jesus.

I was like, Jesus, thank you for my 45 years. If I don't make it, I wasn't happy. All I kept thinking about was my daughter's wedding and how I wouldn't see it. I couldn't help. That was just devastating to me. But I understood that God has reasons I don't understand. But I got to tell you, I really don't understand the kids.

I'm not telling you Jesus doesn't have his. Don't dare question. He's omnipotent. I'm not. But I couldn't understand that. Imagine being alive right now where people who are paralyzed and can't walk. Imagine the pain of that. You're a proud man or woman and you cannot use the limbs God gave you.

Can you imagine the pain of that every single day? You probably have dreams at night about being able to just take a step and run one more time. I mean, I've got arthritis, I complain because I can't run. I might my my my battle is nothing compared to these people. I want to show you just this short video. Elon's neuralink what they're working on right now. You may say, I don't want to put anything in my brain. Fine, I'm not asking you to do. I'm just telling you what about if you're paralyzed or you can't speak and there's a technology out there that may enable you to speak for the first time or walk again. You want to take that I certainly would.

Watch this. What a time to be alive. What? Wait, you're thinking the words and they're popping up. I, I love you. Oh, my gosh. That is amazing. Who's cotton onions in here?

Is it lunchtime? I mean, folks, that's hard not to get a little bit choked up. I don't care about man cards, all right? The poor guy can't speak. He's got an opportunity now to be able to communicate to tell his wife he loves her for the first time. but doesn't matter you get a Friday none of this matters let's just give it all up and throw it all away i'm not doing that man and i'm never doing a show like that ever i'm not not gonna sit here all

day and tell you your life is miserable god gave you 70 to 100 years on this planet if nothing bad happens and you should just wake up every morning and say screw it it sucks i'm not doing that. Manifest good things, man. God gives you challenges for a reason. What a time to be alive. But remember, we always keep it in perspective on the show, too. Because like any other powerful technology, whether it's neuralink or AI, things could go bad. There's no doubt, right? You know, there are going to be people like, well, I want to put a chip because I want to be smarter than everyone else and then they go on to do bad things. They become like freaking Lex Luthor or something. That's what humanity's about. God doesn't give you easy answers. He gives us all level 10 problems. Sometimes

there's only a troubling answer and a more troubling answer. That's what the whole field of ethics is about. But keeping it in perspective, you are in the golden era of humanity right now. I do want to give you the other side of the stuff. Fox Digital did a short clip on, again, the artificial intelligence and the dumerism on one side too. We're all going to die. Everything's going to blow up tomorrow. We're all dead. I believe there's a responsible path we should take. Maybe we should slow down a little bit. I'll let other people argue the details of how that should happen and we can discuss that. However, there is a lot of doomerism out there. Fox covered this yesterday. I want you to listen to this perspective. So we got a well-rounded approach to this so you don't feel like I'm feeding you

any slop like other people are. Check this out. Are capitalizing on the fears of Americans that angst over AI. I think they saw that it was succeeding with a data center. You could draw all sorts of scary scenarios with Y2K as well. You know, the financial system was just going to collapse because people had not programmed or not written their programs for the year 2000. And I had been writing programs in the 1980s for the government.

So well aware of the program. But of course, you know, the tech industry knew about the problem and to the extent that it was a real problem, action to fix it. And the same can happen with AI. There's no evidence for this. You know, last week I heard several interviews with the, you know, it's called a whistleblower. Everyone knows who he is. There is no evidence. There was just hysteria. Folks, this is this gentleman here makes an unbelievable point. If you are an AI dumer, in other words, you've thrown reason out and you We're all going to die and I'm going to live my life miserable.

And again, you have the right to big our God given right to your opinion, do your thing. But do you understand God gave us intellectual powers and God gave us agency? Every single problem in human history that's come up between mass starvation, government systems, nuclear fission, human beings have figured out ways to mitigate the downsides of any problem we're challenging. with you saying like we're just going to let this happen and the world is going to blow up acts like human beings have no agency at all in other words the y2k problem i brought it up the other day justin that wasn't even alive when this went down everybody was told the whole financial system's going to blow up and what happened folks honestly relatively essentially nothing but why because human

beings have agency they saw a problem we tackled it and we fixed it that's it's it assuming humans have no agency and we're going to let a bunch of robots kill us all while not taking it to account god giving us the power to mitigate these problems see him in advance and work on him is just black hole thinking jesse waters did a segment on this on fox which is great with jason calcanus who i again a more realistic approach here how hey there's a fix to this stuff i said it to the other day let's get human beings in some of these loops so a i i doesn't get to take off endlessly without us saying, nope, not here. We're cutting it off here. Do you realize the jumps in judgment you need to be a total duma like the whole world is going to blow up tomorrow?

Not telling you not to be concerned. I am too. I'm just telling you, don't disregard the power of human agency. Check this out. These computer programs going to create a bio weapon. How are they going to launch a nuclear missile at Seattle? How? Yes, this is where you need to get some science fiction authors in a room to make like three or four or five jumps. Yeah. The jump you would have to make to get to the nuclear missiles is those are air-gapped. You would have to create an incredible thriller where somehow the AI programs a thumb drive. That thumb drive makes it way its way into the missile silo and uploads it, right?

It's just not possible. Okay. Now, and to take the airplanes out of sky, those are also what we call in the industry air-gapped. We also have human in the loop system. So people are getting a little excited. about this. We were all trained on science fiction to get excited about it. The pernicious thing here is, and you alluded to this with Bernie Sanders getting into this and other folks, people, when they see a crisis like this, want to jump on it, and they have agendas. And one of

the agendas here is to do what's called regulatory capture, create a bunch of rules. So maybe these one or two companies can win the market. And then the smaller companies coming up, or open source, where anybody can own the technology, maybe they get regulated out. of existence. I'm not telling you what to think. I'm just saying, God put us here for a reason. We have agency.

Humanity has fixed problems. We've caused problems. We've fixed problems we've caused. We've caused problems we fixed. I am not going to be a doomer. And I don't think you should be either. By the way, I got a clip coming up next.

If you ever, ever thought, why did I name that? I usually tell you why I name a show a show. It's a boom. because you're living in an economic boom right now. What doesn't feel like it? Maybe you haven't heard the news. I'm not telling you in every community,

but folks, the numbers are insane. Larry Cudlow just let it rip yesterday on Fox. Even I hadn't heard some of this stuff. There's still argument over the proper angle. Can someone get a protractor? Jasmine! And now we're going to get a thousand protractors in the mailboxes. I know it.

I know it because you're the best in the world. Hey, do you know fast-growing trees America's largest and most trusted online nursery? I use them.

Little did they know they would be involved in a protracted controversy over the angle of the point. Justin gets it. Justin gets it. All right, back to the show. Did you see this clip by Larry Cudlow the other day? We love Larry Cudlow. Larry's a great guy.

I know Larry personally, really good man. Larry's forgotten more about economics than most people ever know. I'm not telling you again in advance. disregard inflation, disregard gas prices. I'm not telling you that. We get it? I'm simply telling you that that data point in perspective of everything else, ladies and gentlemen,

you want to be back to the Joe Biden years where growth was horrendous, inflation was out of control, and gas prices were up too? Or do you want to be here? These are just the receipts. Larry Cudlow just went for it. Check this out. The per capita income levels.

that were just reported from last year, because the data just came in from last year, were absolutely mind-blowingly positive, the highest we've ever seen. Highest we've ever, 87, 460. That's the highest we've ever, up almost 3%. Poverty rate is the lowest, as you pointed out. By the way, childhood poverty, the lowest since the data were kept. I thought Democrats cared about the children were. Yes, they used to.

Since they started taking this. And by the by, if anyone cares, The Atlanta Fed is saying the economy is growing at over 5% in real terms. I need your help. I mean, it's not one of those faux calls for clarity. I really do need your help, folks. I can't win this midterm on my own. I'm not running.

I can't. I am not going back to the Joe Biden-Biden Barack Obama days. I'm not. And I know you aren't either. Republicans are not the solution to all your problems. I've said this over and over, but Democrats are the cause, and I'm not going back to that. When your friends understandably say, hey, gas prices are high, we get it.

We're working on it. We're doing the best we can. However, I want you to also keep in mind this. You are the Paul and Paulette Revereers. I can't do this alone. You have to get this out there on your social media. This is no time 40 days plus, just a couple more than 40 days to an election, to be blackpilling and doom ring,

because there's a real penalty for it, your freedom and liberty. You want to go back to impeachments and weaponized government? I want to throw one more thing at you to show you how amazing it is economically at this time to be alive right now. Folks, Jamie Diamond hasn't always

obviously been a friend to the Republican Party. I think that's fairly obvious. And I'm not endorsing his views or companies or anything like that. But when I hear something that makes sense, I don't care who says it. I'm going to put it out on the show. I said this over and over.

If John Federman or someone else on the Democrat side wants to bring some sensibility and reason to a debate, they're welcome on the show. I'm not going to vote for them, but they're welcome on the show. Jamie Diamond was talking about the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. This is something that doesn't come up often. But for those of you understand, you know, basic economics, this is critical because the entire world invests in the United States,

because our military and our economic system is the most powerful jugger. by far. There's not even a close second. What do we have like nine, ten aircraft carriers, depending on who's in service at any given time. China barely can field one. We are the world's most powerful military powerhouse. Our economy feeds basically the entire world. And I don't only mean food. Nearly everything important comes out of the United States. They want dollars. Because despite the fact that the international community, I mean, I like that, I don't trouble. then why are you still investing in us?

Because you know King Dollar is the king. And when the dollars the world's reserve currency, that means we basically get a free loan for every single transaction around the globe when they do it in dollars and not the Chinese rending me. Listen to this because this is really important.

This guy's no huge Trump supporter either. What an age to be alive. Check this out. I find myself having a lot of conversations about this trend towards a de-dollarization. How do you see it? Well, it's not going to happen. because the reserve currency is not, this is an IQ test.

You ready? And you can ask anyone in the world, if you can only put all of your money in one country, which one would it be? Well, there's only one that's protected by the Atlantic and the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law, the ability to own. When we give you a United States dollar,

you can do whatever you want with it. You can start a business, you can buy a home, you can send it to Switzerland, you can do all these various things. That's not true in a lot of countries. You're not going to take a reserve currency where the government decides what you can do with it, which is with China. China has capital controls.

That's basically what that is, and they need them for a whole bunch of different reasons. So as long as we maintain that strength, and I think it does relate to free trade. So China will become more of reserve currency. Other countries might, but we will still be the predominant one, as long as we maintain the predominant economic position in the world. And that is predicated also the predominant military position. Folks, what was that Aaron Neville song? I don't know much, but I know I love you.

I don't know much, but I do know foreign travel. I've candidly lost count of how many foreign countries I've been to. I've been to probably twice as many cities because I've been to foreign countries where I've gone to multiple cities multiple times. It's probably close to 100 on the city scale. How many in the chat have traveled a lot? Vouch for me on this one.

Is there a single country on earth where you're at, like a street vendor at a fair. Like I used to go to this, what is it, a mile of a fair? I've been Russia a couple times when I was with the Secret Service. I did two trips there. They don't want roubles.

What do they want? Greenbacks, bucks, dollars, Uncle Ben's, hundos, Ulysses Grant, Lincoln,

Washington. They want that. Tell me I'm wrong in the chat. I don't know a single country, on earth they won't take the dollar instead of their own currency some of those places it's not even legal and they'll still take it because we're the king because we rule this rock we call earth wear it what a time to be alive yes see you're 100% correct yes yes yes you know it those who've traveled they want dollars king dollar your country you

fought for, your father's fought for, your grandfather's fought for. They gave you the greatest country on earth at the greatest time to be alive. You've got people putting brain chips in. They can tell their wives they love them. You've got artificial intelligence figuring out math problems. The entire history of Synthian human beings couldn't figure out. What a time to be alive, man. Speaking of artificial intelligence, if you listen to the radio show, you may have gotten

a preview of this. But if you don't, you're in for a treat. Thank you to my production team. We added some visuals. There's a new movie coming. Have you heard about this nightmare on Lib Street movie? I was unaware Jim founded, producer Jim on the dark web. I don't know. I don't know where he gets this stuff. Who knows what the hell he's doing on that computer over there in the Texas studio. We have like a Texas substation for the whole Bongino team right here. I don't know what Jim's doing. but he found on a dark web this weird trailer for this movie nightmare on lip street about this crazy new AI technology called have you guys heard of this josh chat dj t i never heard i didn't even know this was the thing so here's the movie trailer i'm going to go see this movie i don't know about you i'd pay like

50 bucks to see this one check jill biden put one person in charge of an emerging technology habiar baka barraia no no he found someone one with an even lower IQ. Breaking barriers. It involves breaking things. Kamala Harris, in charge of the scariest tech yet. AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it's two letters.

It means artificial intelligence. She had unleashed chat DJT. What a stupid question. But we've talked a lot, you and you ask a lot of stupid questions. You do this a lot. You know, you're in the presence of the greatest, AI in the history of the world. Chat, DJT, artificial intelligence, the most intelligence,

but you are a genuine lack of intelligence, a very stupid person. Chat DJT, nightmare on Lib Street. Quiet piggy. Rated MASA, make America smart again. And in case you're saying, hey man, was that producer Jim and Sean Farris? No, no, that was definitely Donald Trump and a movie trailer NARA. Winky, winky on it. Mollies!

In the chat. It's Friday. It's Friday. We got to laugh a little bit. I always tell you, you got to smile a little bit. Jim, play that again on the radio show because they need to hear that on a Friday. You hear me?

I need textual confirmation. They need some textual healing on that. Nightmare on Lib Street. Coming soon. This freaking show is crazy. Can we play? I got to go totally. I got to get to the UFO thing.

So don't go anywhere because I just want to give you some brief perspective from my time. But given that we're on a roll with it, Jim, you're good? Okay, good. Jim just texted me. Can you play grandma on the cyber truck too? This is not AI, right? As far as we know, like this is real. Folks, now this is real.

This is that. That was obviously AI. Jim and Sean Farris did a great job. Thank you guys. And my team here put the visuals. This, however, is real. we are in the most amazing time to be alive, including cars. You know, I hate the word literally, that literally drive themselves.

So somebody decided to put their lovely grandmother behind the steering wheel in a Tesla cyber truck. And I think Tesla, their self-driving feature, my humble opinion based on reviews from people on them, is the best. The grandmother really wasn't digesting what was going on. And they film the whole thing. This is not AI as far as we know. This is your Make America Funny Again moment.

This is freaking hilarious. I want to talk about a time to be alive. Check this out. Don't touch nothing. Don't touch it. Let the AI drive. Stop that. The AI stop that.

You got to trust the AI. You got to trust me. You got to trust me. It knows. Oh, bro. Take this off this. You know what to do. Trust me.

Trust the AI. See? Trust the AI. I can't take it. War about he's in a chat. I saw that. I just had to share that wonderful Make America Funny Again moment with you.

It is fantastic. Folks, to grandma out there, you're a star. But also to grandma. What a wonderful time for you to be alive. I don't know how old grandma is. Let's not guess a woman's age. We'll say 60. being not okay you were alive when color tv was a new thing and now you got a car driving itself

down the street you've seen it all what a life what a life so i said i would get this speaking of technology we don't understand fox did a segment with the great peter ducy pete's a good man know him and his father really well great reporter peter ducy did a segment on fox about some new releases about some UAPs. So, you know, what people would call just in everyday English UFOs, unidentified flying objects, with UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomenon. Now, I was honored to have the greatest job my life was the last year in the FBI. You all know I was there running the place.

And when you're there, you pretty much have access to everything. And one of the things I asked about, not that I had other things right when I get in there, but I don't know about a month or two, and I said, hey, I'd like to, because I'm very concerned about drones. And obviously, if we don't know what's in the air, it's a bad thing, whether it's space aliens or a freaking drone, it's a problem. So I got the briefing pretty early from people both at the Pentagon, Central Intelligence Agency, and at the FBI. We have our own little X-Files unit over there. And without sharing anything classified, because this is now out in the open, I want to show you in two parts what Peter came up with. It's about a minute each. And I'll just

describe to you, again, what I saw within the bounds of what's appropriate. And what I know and what I don't know, because, you know, I think that's the only fair way to cover it. Check out part one of this little segment they did on UAPs. Check this out. I was summoned to an office in the West Wing yesterday for a private briefing about these files that you're about to see on your screen for the first time ever. Let's show the first clip. It was taken by a Navy aerial photographer. His name was Delbert Newhouse. It was taken along a Utah highway.

If you look closely, it looks like a drone swarm. But there were no known drones in the sky when this video was taken in 1952. I am told they took the first and only copy of this film. They found it in the National Archives. It has been digitized into 4K to be released right here for the first time today. The second clip we have taken by a law enforcement officer's iPhone along a busy Colorado Highway, three years ago. The officer's narration and some nearby buildings have been redacted. I heard the unredacted version, though, and he is describing multiple orbs hovering over a

sensitive military installation. And then we have a third clip taken by a drone over the Middle East last year. It shows six objects flying in formation, destination, unknown. The Pentagon looks at this. They say they do not know what they are looking at on. the screen. Okay. Now, before I get to part two here, I think it's only fair to tee this up that I don't know what that is either. Dan, you don't have an answer? No, I don't. There's a reason, Justin, why are they called UAPs? Because they're unidentified. I don't know either. If I knew I give you the answer, so why are you bringing this up? I'll explain after part two, because I don't like leaving you without any answers. But I don't know. And I, again, being candid, I have,

not seen that first one. I think the second one I saw, but the first one I don't recall seeing before from the 50s. Strange. Strange. Doesn't mean it's not explainable, it just means it's strange. But I'll explain to you what I do know after this part two. Check this out. And there's this. There's a newly declassified copy of an expense report, a line-by-line expense report going through the $22 million that the DIA spent to investigate repeated years-long claims over something called Skinwalker Ranch, claims of extra things in the sky, UFOs, UAPs. Harry Reid before he passed away.

This was in 2008. Got $22 million to investigate this. Officials now are telling me, senior White House officials are telling me, they cannot find any copy of the records. They've got all the proof that this government contractor was spending $22 million to do this investigation, but when folks,

high up at the White House who can just pick up the phone and say, I need a copy of those records, make the call. They are being told that if these records were created, they are either lost or something happened to them. Somebody has them, they are not available to White House officials right now, which kind of seems like one of these UFO movies where it gets to the Oval Office, and the president has to be told that there are certain things

that are too classified even for the president. But we should stress, again, officials do not know what the objects are in these videos. Okay. Wait, you guys in the bubble there need to listen to. I know you're not audience members, but this is important. There's two points I want to make. One's about Donald Rumsfeld.

What? And the second's about Parallax. When I said to you tying this to the beginning of the show, that when we went in there, me and Cash and Ratcliffe and Mike, the deputy over Michael over at CIA, when President Trump and I went in there, folks, we can only tell you, because I'm never going to lie to you, ever. We can only tell you what we have access to, what we've seen.

If it's not there, I can't tell you it's there. Does this make sense? That part about Skinwalker Rens, it's the first time I'm hearing about that. unfortunately, you don't know what was destroyed. So for me to tell you, I know what happened to X when the information about X is not there, I'm not going to do that for clicks. You pledge transparency. I meant it.

Go look up what everybody's. I can't give you transparency on what doesn't exist. That's what Ducey's describing their point one. How does that relate to Donald Rumsfeld? Donald Rumsfeld gave a famous speech one time about the dangers of things. You have known knowns, things you know and can fix. You have known unknowns. You know things about like a problem where you don't necessarily have an answer.

And then you have unknown unknowns. You can go look up the speech yourself. It's famous where you don't know what you don't know because it doesn't exist. How disingenuous and phony would it be for me to enter the Trump administration go, I mysteriously found that answer. Did you? Do you have evidence? No, I don't have evidence. I'm just guessing.

I'm not doing that. I can only tell you what I know and what I've seen. I'm not, you're not, you didn't pay me to guess. You just didn't. Does it make sense now? So point number one is some of the stuff just isn't there to render an opinion on. I wish it were, but it's not. The second part, as it relates to the UFO,

So that was more of a larger point, but it's relevant there for this too. Folks, a lot of the videos you're seeing, and I'm not talking about those two you just saw, like I said, I don't remember if I saw one or both of them or I don't think I saw the first one. But a lot of the videos you see on X where you see a lot of people rendering commentary on them, I want you, if you're open-minded to this, a lot of them are easily explainable. I'm not telling you all of them. There's a reason they're called UAPs. but some of them that are being portrayed as UAPs there's a likely explanation some some everybody hear me i'm not trying to discredit anyone i'm not going to allow anyone to mischaracterize my words there are people there me include are very real concerns about a lot of unexplained material but some of them that you're seeing that are being portrayed as unexplained or not is a parallax effect

what you think is traveling at a certain speed is sometimes just floating through the the air, maybe like a mylar balloon, and what's filming it is moving at a high speed. I mentioned this before. That is a limited pool of these videos. There are others, I just don't have an answer. But some of them that look really strange are likely just mylar balloons or other objects. Some. And when you look up the parallax effect and how the cameras are not designed for this,

you'll see how some of them are explainable. Again, I'm just here to give you reason and you can form your own opinion about the other unidentified ones and there are lots of them because some of them are pretty freaking strange. Are they drones? I don't know.

I don't know. That's why they're unidentified. I just thought it was important to get that out there. But I'm really glad Peter Ducey said this because now you understand with some of these other cases that, you know, you get people, if I was in there, I would have done something different. How?

One, you didn't volunteer. You didn't go work for the government. You didn't give up your job. You didn't spend time away from your family. To the critics and podcasts to Stanley. You didn't do that. I'm not attacking you. It's just true.

How do you know what we saw and didn't? Well, I don't know. Okay, so whose opinion is more valuable? Yours or my, you just admitted you've never seen anything. I'm telling you a lot of this stuff that people want you to comment on, that evidence isn't there. Poorly scope cases, stuff that we just can't find. we don't know what happened.

Was it destroyed? I don't know. It's an unknown unknown. It wasn't everything, but it's lost. A lot of stuff we did find, which you're going to see as time goes, and does that trust me, bro, anything?

The receipts will be there for you to see. All right, it is Friday. So we do our Democrat Zen moment. Then we have our comment of the day, and I've heard rumors. We have another winner to announce it. It's a lot of, I wouldn't give away a lot of money then.
