All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. So I was going to start the show a little differently today and talk about the nope, no escape, no backsies. Remember we were kids? For those who were my age in their ancient 50s like me, when you, I start, I mean, 50 feels like 50, as I've said often. 40, maybe not 40, but 50 definitely feels like 50.

But we were kids, we'd trade baseball cards. Remember when that was the thing? I'll give you a Cal Ripkin for a Don Mattingly. No, no backsees. There's no trade back. Remember that? No tradebacks. No backsees.

There's no back. You remember that? There's no backsees. There's not a thing. The fact that a bunch of Democrats, AOC, Scarborough, Joe Scarborough, Democrat. They're all like now all of a sudden trying to trade back the abolish ICE, abolish prisons, defund the police, abolish. the Senate, abolished the Supreme Court, abolished the presidency socials.

There's no backsies. There's no backsies. You own this now. Your guys went out in campaign with the October 7 Rape Stone Matter guy. There's no backsies. You went out campaign with the guy talking about how he didn't give a damn about black voters and talking about lynchings. What?

What? Surprised emoji face, dude. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We got receipts. We always got receipts. No, no, there's no, there's no back seats. But what I got to get to first, and Guy agrees, which is we, me and Gie almost never agree,

and I'm always right. I just want to say, right? I am. Come on, come on. If you ever been right on, but he's right about this. This story about the security threat to President Trump in Turkey and the Air Force One transfer to, there's nobody better to give you some perspective on this than this guy. that no not the Caitlin Collins I get but I get the joke you'll see what I mean coming up in a minute

let's go. I see him in the commander's seat right there. So first, I wanted to play this clip. And there's a couple of things, a couple pointers here. I want to point out for we play, Caitlin Collins and Anderson Cooper talking about the president, the security threats as he was coming back from Turkey, just was it a month ago or something like that? I lose track of time. He had to switch planes became a huge story. The media, of course, thinks they're entitled to know everything, including the security features of the plane. You're not. It's not for public consumption. I'm sorry. Not everything should be out there. I don't care if it's a Democrat president or a Republican president. We don't want to get the president killed because you want clicks.

I want to just listen, though. Kailen Collins says that someone was deceived in this. It'll make sense in a second. Play the cut. You'll see what I mean. Check this out. Now, the Post is reporting that the threat was so severe. There was a second switch onto a third plane.

The president was not on this plane at all. Instead, according to the Post, even as members of the press were boarding from the rear door. the president, who we just showed you, climbing the front steps, was leaving the plane, leaving on one of these. Quoting now from the Post, he was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane, an Air Force C-32A via an airport catering truck. As the president has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him,

and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats. Is there any precedent for this kind of deception? I mean, it's remarkable because even when the president goes to war zones before, which Trump himself has done, the reporters who are traveling with him are sworn to secrecy, but they know where they're going. But what this speaks to is, one, the seriousness of the threat that they got when it came to this Iranian threat against the president's life. And two, the levels that they were willing to go to, to put the president in a catering truck and to deceive the reporters who were on board and even some White House staff, according to the post, who thought the president was on board. that plane. Now, correct, like in the beginning of the show, I miss. Sometimes I'm, I'm not a professor X, okay? I have like telepathic powers. Sometimes I'll put a clip out there and there'll be a little nugget of it that even I miss. But when we do the pre-show rundown,

I was like, Justin, did you just catch it at the end? This is, there's a couple of takeaways, okay? The chat, by the way, right? You see what's going on in a chat? Okay, back to serious time. Caitlin Collins says at the end that because the president's life was clearly in jeopardy in Turkey that they had to make this grave decision. And believe me, I've never seen anything like that particular thing. So this must have been a really serious what we call TTL threat to life, that the efforts they went to deceive the press. It's not about you, Caitlin.

I'm not trying to make this personal, really. But this is the mentality of the modern journalist reporter, you know, CNN media hack that they really believe that they put the president in a catering truck to deceive the press. It was meant to deceive the people want to kill him. Andy, is this something? No one was trying to do it. You weren't. No one was even thinking about you. It's not about you.

I cannot emphasize this enough. having been in this media environment forever. There's a lot of good people out there. I have a lot of colleagues who I love and respect who are really great and are very humble, a ton of them. However, cable news is populated with people with egos the size of like Texas, but without any of the Texas values to back it up.

It's not about you. Nobody, I promise in that security meeting, I've been in many of them. Damn, what do you know about being in a war zone with the president? Gee, I don't know, dip shit. I took Obama to Afghanistan and Bogram Air Base when it was a freaking war zone. You can probably for you that. What do you think I'm making it up?

I was in a war zone with the president. Nobody's thinking, well, how do we deceive the president? Nobody gives this shit about the press. We're trying to keep the president alive. Stop it. Get some help. Get some help. You don't.

Nobody cares. Media people, Caitlin and others. and the press pool people. Nobody wants anything bad happen to you. Obviously, let me be clear. We're not trying to get anybody hurt. You don't have to be there, though. I've heard media people.

I kid you not, folks. I'm not messing with you. They are always in the motorcade. Back then they used to film out out of the top of the truck. So I'm a new agent on the president's detail. I don't know when I got there, 2005, whatever. That's about the time. I get there in 2005.

I'm on the President Bush's detail. And I remember, it was my first motorcade, and you see these guys, and they're like hanging out of their truck filming these press guys, a motorcade, like an in-town movement, like he's going to church or something. It wasn't any big deal. We weren't going to like a NATO summit.

And I remember saying to one of the guys, like, what's that all about? They go, yeah, these media people call it like Death Watch, in case something happens in the motorcade, they went on a tape. They know there's a threat every time they're with the president. You understand they don't have to be there. No one is forcing Caitlin Collins or anyone else to be on Air Force One. If you don't like the fact that President Trump is the most threatened human being, probably, I kid you not, in the history of planet Earth at this point,

there is no greater threat. Then get the off the plane. Nobody's trying to deceive you. You never, ever came up in the conversation. I guarantee you not a single soul was like, gee man, how do we deceive the press you never came it's not about you my gosh with these people that's point number one point number two i already made media people many again they're not all bad people even some of them at lefty networks i don't agree with but you know some of them were respectful when

i was there and and i reciprocated i was never mean to anyone but you don't have to be there nobody is forcing you to be there in handcuffs you choose to be there understanding the risks if don't like the risks, then don't go and complain about it. I saw this whole big X thread this morning, Justin. People like, oh my gosh, I can't believe there was a threat. And like the media people, then go home. Why is that might not right? It's like being a secret service agent on the detail and going,

you know what, boss, I'm not really comfortable with these job hazards. It's kind of dangerous being around Trump. A lot of people want to kill them. Can I go home? They would be like, what? Are you, are you smoking the pipe? No, not the tobacco, but the crack pipe. Are you smoking the crack?

It's part of the job, dude. It's like working in construction on a high-rise building going, man, I don't like heights. I could fall. No shit. Another point. I love all these political commentators, the Folex Magatai. Remember Tucker?

Oh my gosh, what was he telling? Was it Ted Cruz he was telling? him something like, man, if the Iranians are trying to kill President Trump, like nuclear war and all this stuff. And then they're all like now trying to downplay the Iranian threat. Oh, there's no serious threat. There's no serious threat. They put the president on a freaking food truck to sneak them out of there because the threat was so real. I'm telling, by the way, don't tell me, you have no experience. Shut the fuck up and sit down. Pardon my language. You know nothing about presidential security. You've never done it. You've never been in a security.

briefing, sit your ass down and shut the fuck up. You don't know anything about anything. You're a goofy bow tie wearing loser. You don't know shit. So you can shut your mouth. You can't have it both ways. If the Secret Service is evacuating the president through a food truck to a backup plane, do you have any idea how serious that TTR threat to life had to be? To put him on a food truck to get him on a backup plane to a backup plane. I thought we were supposed to nuke Iran. I'm not telling you, that's ridiculous. Nook Iran over that.

You said that, did you not? And now, oh, no, no, the Iranian, no big threat, no big threat. How many times have I told you that the Iranian threat, they're not telling you everything because they can't. The things that appear in these intelligence briefings, not every piece of it, filters out to the public. The threats to life, the threats against our industrial control systems

and cyber attacks, the threats to rapidly reconstruct this nuclear program, were very real. We're very real. They wanted both ways. Now they'll just ignore this. So no, they put him on a food truck because he wanted a hoagie or something.

We're from New York. We call him subs. But whatever word you want to use, heroes. York's hero. I should say, and subs. I'm actually, I've been in Florida too long. The pub subs in my brain right now. My New York is leaving by the day, except for the cussin. I know. I know. You are a generation remote. So there are my three takeaways. The Iranian threats to life to American citizens are very real. So severe, I'm telling you, I've never seen anything

like that. There's one accurate thing she says. She doesn't really know, but she's getting. in Caitlin Collins. When Anderson Cooper says, is there any precedent for this? She's like, well, I never heard one. I have to tell you, I haven't either. We've done a lot of things. I remember a couple, you know, tricks we pulled when the, I wasn't on the first lady's detail. But when I was on Obama's detail, some things they did with Michelle Obama, so she could move around. It was a lot of deception involved. There were sometimes we would do shell games and in motorcades and things. I've never seen anything this dramatic. Ever. But Caitlin Collins line, like the lengths they went to deceive the press.

Just, again, it's not about you. Nobody cares about you guys, okay? We don't want you to get hurt, but you choose to be there. You don't like being there. Don't show up. That's not an option for the staff, the WAMO, the White House military office. That's not an option for WACA, the White House communication agency. You probably don't even know what this stuff is if you're, you know, a commentator out there.

You have no idea. You just kind of chime off. Everyone should respect your opinion as if it has any value. You have the right to have one. It doesn't mean it means shit. I hope that helps. Does that help, you think? Gee, is that why I should have started off that way?

That's why Guy wanted me to start with this story. Apollonia 88 and a Chad. I grew up in Connecticut. We called them grinders. Whoa, be careful with that one. I never heard that either. I could go in a lot of different directions. be very, just be careful.

As you're saying, yeah, we did, Heroes is right. All right, getting back to when I want to start to show with them. There's no backsees, folks. There's no backsees. We are not letting the left turn away from the fact that they have been out there campaigning on the craziest stuff I have ever seen in my, you know, 30 years following politics. No way. This is not the Tea Party on the left.

The Tea Party was campaigning. for relatively mainstream conservative thought ideas. Let's lower taxes. Let's look at a fair tax. Let's look at a flat tax. Let's let patients control their health care and fight this Obamacare train wreck. Let's fight for school choice.

Let's protect human life. Let's protect the Second Amendment to the Constitution. None of this stuff was in any way radical. It was only radical if you were a crazy leftist. Stop comparing your nonsense. Abolish prisons, ICE or murderers, abolished a military. cut military funding, government-controlled health care, confiscatory taxes, the theft of property,

government-control the economy. Stop conflating it with the Tea Party. It's not true. You're making it up. You're just, oh, like we have this little internal drama. No, that's not what happened. You tried to force men in women's locker rooms down America's throat, wokeism, DEI, no merit.

People should be picked on skin color. We should all hate the Jews. and the evangelicals and the Protestants. These are not mainstream ideas and the sane populace. They're not, okay? Stop comparing it to. And we're not letting you walk it back.

You don't just get to say, hey, we campaigned with a guy who said that October 7th rapes don't bother him and go, hey, my bad. Is that what, did the kids even still say that? I don't know. I'm not like if the kid lingo anymore. Do they, my bad.

So sad. No, no. No, no. No, no. No backsees. No, we already traded. The trade's done. You are.

You already traded your integrity and morals for power. You are not trading back. Here's what I mean. That's why the title of today's show is, nope, nope, no escape. There's no escaping this. We are going to force you to look in the mirror and tell the truth. Hat tip the Great Mays Moore. Here's AOC who now wants, she's going to run for president, folks.

She's going to run for president. I don't want to say flag it in the chat because I can't get in her head. And she may change her mind as she does more public appearances and gets humiliated. because she really is dumb, like she doesn't know anything. You ever see her in a public appearance, asked any serious question? She doesn't know anything. People are going to flag the chat anyway. Of course.

I'm just saying there's, I could say, a 55% chance she runs for president. Watch her evolution as she realizes over these clips that identity politics and DEI and wokeism, how she now is trying to walk away from it suggesting, you know, woke one probably wasn't a good idea. She was woke one. Had to amaze more for this. Check this out. It's a place of privilege to be woken up to this.

You know, if you never knew this was an issue before, and now you're realizing it now, you know, there's a huge privilege in that. We're having a hearing right now, and it's about what the, that the federal government is too woke. This is what this whole term woke means. Or diversity and inclusion,

so that the people who work in our federal workforce are actually in proportion to the people that live in this country. Woke one was crazy. No, no, there are no tradebacks. There's a Pearl Jam song. They're all lefties out. But I love Pearl Jam growing up. There's huge lefties, Eddie Veteran M.

But I was, I love Pearl Jam. There's that song, you know, at some point you trade magic for fact and there's no tradebacks. She's trading the magic. of DEI, and by magic, I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way. I mean like it's presto change. Oh, look, I pulled a rabbit out of a hat. The rabbit didn't come out of a freaking thin air.

You had it hiding in the hat. Only like kids believe that. So she's trying to trade magic for a fact. But no, look up that line. I forget what song it is. Someone helped me out in the chat. Trade magic for fact. There's no tradebacks.

We are not letting you do this tradeback now. You force this stuff. to the American circulatory system, the arteries and veins, and we're not allowing you to just walk away and pretend it didn't happen. No. I have nothing to walk away from the Tea Party. I'm proud of what we did. I ran for office in that Tea Party movement.

Tell me. Don't tell me. I actually put my name on a ballot. I'm proud of that. Low taxes, the Second Amendment, the right to life. Nobody's even attempting to run away. from that. Why are you running away from yours? Because you traded magic for fact. You're watching a movie on the screen. Now you know everybody realizes BS because the acting's so bad. And you all want to

pretend you're not the executive producer. No, no, no. And I'm sorry, but Joe Scarborough doesn't get a pass either. This guy's been a Democrat for a Republican, whatever. He spouts off Democrat, crap, all kinds of talking points. Now he's starting to. realize, along with the MSNOW crew, they're starting to realize that these ideas poll really bad. Shocker. Fellas, I'm really stunned. Abolishing prisons, property confiscation, abolishing the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, sticking kids in crappy government schools with no school choice, taking away people's health care plans they like, I'm really stunned this polls at like negative 47%. I'm stunned. Here's my shock phase. Dan, that looks,

like your normal face. That's because it is. Here's Scarborough now like, hey, man, we got a problem. And everybody was like, celebrating. Well, finally they're waking up. Finally, Scarborough's not a stupid guy, okay? You don't think he knew months ago that this was a problem? He should have been talking about this years ago when AOC first burst on the scene with Bernie Sanders like screaming like this. Watch this. Oh, you have to just turn a blind eye to people saying, that women getting raped on October 7th didn't matter. This is about the Democrats, once again, fumbling the football on the two-yard line when they have a chance to make great gains, but being so woke to call out the obvious.

I swear to God. It's really, it's crazy that we're even having this conversation. If somebody says a woman being raped doesn't matter in the grand scheme. things, it's okay to call that person out and demand that candidates dissents themselves from those people. If you want to rule, if you want to rule over a party and win elections, if somebody says going to a rally the day after Hamas slaughters more Jews than any time since the Holocaust, it's okay for Chuck Schumer. It's okay for Chuck Schumer. It's okay for. for he came Jeffries to call that despicable

and demand that people distance themselves from that. That's okay. Okay. You know what? You know what's not okay? Just investing me on a point, which he did. He's like, Dan, this is my favorite video. I'm like, yeah, we were chatting while I was playing because I've seen it. I'm like, me too, man. I can't believe like Scarborough like just, I'm sure he said some of these things before to be fair,

but never with this kind of passion as if he didn't see this cover. If he was a dumb guy, I'd understand. I'm like, he's like, no, no, that's not what I like about. I'm like, what do you like, but he goes, look at the guest. The guest doesn't know what to do. Justin's video with the day. The guest is sitting there, and I don't know what, this guy's like, if he agrees with a lot of this stuff or disagrees,

but he's just sitting there like, am I supposed to say something? Like, he's got this, I've been on cable news when, you know, when a host is going off. Look at him. The guest, look at the face. Look at the face. Check him out. Check this guy's face.

Stone face. There, he blink. He blinks, so he's real. He looks like a mannequin. He doesn't know what to do. He's probably like, oh my gosh, I don't want to upset my socialist friends by agree with Scarborough here in this rant. I don't even think, isn't he married to Mecca? They're like a thing, right?

Wait, even Mika said now like, oh, the hell's going on here. I'm sorry, but I'm not giving anyone like a round of applause for failing to warn about the Bernie Sanders threat of socialism that has been infecting the Democrat Party for probably two. 20 years now. Go back to show, go back to the original shows, like episodes 1 through 20. We were talking about the exact same things. Folks, there are no backsies. I'm sorry. There are no tradebacks. And we are going to glue this Piker guy and everyone else to the Democrat Party because that's what they wanted. I didn't tell them to go out and campaign with a guy who's like a rape apologist. I didn't tell him. What happened to me too movement?

Where'd that go? Like I said, I thought like the raping is like a really big problem. Like that's a big deal, right? I mean, not to you, I guess. I'm going to show you what I mean. I got a video this popped up yesterday of Piker with regard to black voters. And I'm going to show you how folks, I'm telling you, I don't speak collectively about groups of people.

But other people do. If you are a black voter out there, you are being targeted by the left. Targeted for our votes? Well, yes, of course. But no, you're being targeted by an op. They don't care about you. How do I know? I have to use the word literally, Justin.

They literally say it. Then I'm going to show you another one, a prominent Democrat, basically saying the same thing, that, hey, man, we're like a bunch of Islamo fanatic nutbags, and we got to make sure, like, we appeal to these people to pull them over now, just to get them in our movement. I told you.

I'm really sorry. Again, I'm not telling you like the Republicans are some elixir and panacea for all of your problems. We've screwed up stuff too. There's no doubt about it. I get that. I'm just telling

you the cause of most of your problems in the black community. The cause of most of your problems. That, by the way, you're in the white community too, but you'll see why this is important now. Whether it's schooling problems, poor schools, whether it's if you or maybe you don't do, but if you live in a high crime area, a poor economy, these are the Democrats doing this.

There is no largely majority black community anywhere that's led exclusively by a republic. No, they're all led by Democrats who are screwing you over. They're using you for power. They don't care about you. They will send your kid to the crime, shrapiest schools in the country on a whim just because they can. They don't care about you.

Here's Hassan Piker. Why do I keep playing this guy? Because they trotting this guy out on the campaign trail. They love him. The same party that claims to be a big advocate for black civil liberties, civil rights, black empowerment. Really? I want you to listen to this guy.

Again, ladies and gentlemen, in his own words, how he really feels about you, the black voter out there. Check this out. What fuck what black people care about? Oh, black people care about this. Black people care about that. Like, shut the fuck up. That's not how politics works.

Oh, well, Hassan, how dare you? Like it or not? Black people care about this issue. It's like, it's such a fucking stupid stance. Any other black folk want to engage in radical activist language in this fucking chat? Suck my f***. Yes, dude. It's because I'm racist.

That's why. It's because I'm racist, dude. Go back to a better time when lynchings were happening. This is what I like as a black man. Are you always doing too much with black people leave them alone? I want to go back to lynching like I get it, but relax. Man, shut the fuck up, okay? God damn.

You got me, okay? You got me because I'm a racist person. That's just his words, guys. Ladies, that's just his words. I want you to understand nobody, just like nobody forces the media on the Air Force One or into motorcade knowing there's a danger. Nobody forced prominent Democrat candidates for Congress and the United States. Senate, not for dog catcher, to go and campaign with this guy. Nobody. They did it because why.

Producer Jim, we haven't done this for a while, because they wanted to, because they love him. Again, black voters out there, I am not telling you like the Republicans are going to solve every one of your problems tomorrow, that we haven't had issues with knuckleheads too. We just want to a whole primary process kicking knuckleheads out of our movement who were professing some of the same bullshit about different racial and religious groups. We are trying desperately to clean this mess up. Not only are they not trying to clean this mess up on the left, they're bringing the mess in the sandbox.

They're taking a dump in their own sandbox. Yeah, yeah, Hassan, come on in. Blackfoot. We don't give a shit about Blackford. Lynchings? What? J.A. Walsh, waste a new show with that. No, no, man.

No, no, no. I'm sorry. Slaterstorm. Why give time? to this stupid. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I love you in the chat. I appreciate your opinion. I'm sorry. You're wrong. You know damn well if there was a Republican Party candidate who had said those exact same words or someone who is campaigning with any Republican Party candidate. It doesn't even matter from city council to president. You know damn well this would be an

intergalactic cosmic scandal. No. They want us so badly, so badly to not talk about this. No, I'm sorry. I'd have to lose every listener before I did. No way. There are no tradebacks. You can attack me.

I am absolutely gluing this to them because they chose this, not me. Now, I've been telling you, black voters, Jewish voters, voters and Asian voters. The left hates you. They cannot stand you. They hate your guts. They are deceiving you. I want you to watch this clip

that was just unearthed by Mamdami. Was this enwokeness? I'm on a hat tip, right? I think who found this. Another good account on X to follow. You know, we like the hat tip here. Here's Mom Dami a while ago. Pre-P mayor.

Here's him talking about how they use valid to go into the white progressive community, to incorporate them into like their Islamo fanatic, unholy alliance, and how they make it comfortable for white progressives and others to like detach themselves solely from ideology and run on identity alone. They're playing you for fools. How do I know that? Because they're proud of it. They openly talk about it. Don't listen to me. Listen to them. Listen to this clip by Mamdami. If there was ever, a clip that nails the unholy alliance between progressive communists and Islamo fanatics, this is it. And there's validators and bridges between the two Mamdami being one of them in the

middle. Check this out. The interesting thing about our communities here is I think that minority communities, because we have never had representation, we are tied much more to identity. White communities, they've had representation forever. And so for them, their tie is a little less identity and a little more ideology. And so what I mean by that is we have a lot of voters here who think of themselves first as progressive voters. And so we reach out to them speaking about our platform, our progressive platform.

And you're very right that you need someone in the middle to be a validator, someone to tell them to trust us, believe in us. Thank you to the person in the chat. I'm sorry, it goes so fast. I miss it. Who said, listen, man, Dan show is about the truth. If you're not for it, like the show's not for you. That's okay, man.

It's okay. It's okay. Look, there's a Sond Piker. I didn't even put this to the show. With Bernie Sanders in AOC, you don't get to run away from this. This is the truth, folks. You have to understand. I get why people in the chat might say that.

Like, damn, we already know this guy Piker's crazy. Like, folks, how many times I have to tell you this, that debating the modern left is always about the third party? What do you mean? It's the hard left people are done. They're in a cult. They're like the people who believe all these crappy, conspiracy theories in Folex MAGA.

You're not going to convince them. So why talk about it? You're like, well, I already get it. And if they're not going to listen, why? Because I promise you, there are, we, this audience right now, it's 39 minutes in. There's almost 48,000 people here on the show. This is a stadium full of people. There are people in here for the first time who've never heard this stuff.

They're like, my gosh, like, I'm a black or Asian or Jewish voter. And you're telling me, like, the Democrats are campaigning with guys who apologize for rape and openly say, like, they don't. don't really give a shit about black voters and talk about them in the most racist way possible. Yes. Yeah, that's the first time they've seen it. And I saw you, I was reading the chat, again with the voices of the Dems. This guy, Momdani's voices, his voice changes, his accent, the way he speaks to people,

depending on the crowd, why does he do that? Because he knows he's talking to a bunch of progressive libs who were suckers and love to hear this. Oh my gosh, look, he's speaking with a foreign accent or dialect. He must be some kind of genius or something. God forbid he was like an evil white man or something like that. So they fake it. It's all fake. Matter of fact, we got a follow up from yesterday.

Andy, did you put this together? You know our segment, Voices of Dems. And I'm running for president of BSG. There are a few reasons that we're running this campaign this year. One has to do with representation. How can we represent all voices in a conversation? I want to do this by partnering with organizations from the Boone Democrats to the Boone Republicans. And gun lobbyists might win.

But all that was good news for us. I don't know how long this Saturday in the state of Tennessee might last. This is the worst one, yeah. This is the worst one, yeah. We've got good news that Sunday always comes. What is in? See, I do change my voice for Muttley's in the chat. That's the best one yet.

Montley's in a shit, tear it up. That's the best one yet. That's the same guy. Why do they do that? Why do they do that? Because they're hustlers, they're gamers, they're scammers. That's it. That's a lot of Muttley's.

Tear it up. Melt that chat down with the Mottlies. melt it down. Burn that chat to the ground. That's who these people are. To black voters out there. You notice that this guy, Pearson and Mamdami? They openly admit they're trying to recruit you

into this identity politics thing and divorce you from any sound ideology you may be subscribed to. That they're just playing you. Do you want to get played? The Republican Party message for the good ones, not the bad ones, is the same for everybody. The right to defend yourself, the right to life, free, fair economy, relatively low taxes, controlled spending. It's the same message.

We don't speak differently to black audiences about a black message and a white message. Why do you allow this to happen, man? And not only that, they lie to you about replacement theory stuff too. Oh my gosh, those evil Republicans and replacement theory. Here's some, Mike, I don't know if this was hidden camera or what. They're at some little speech. These two lunatics are giving. One of them's a New York State Assembly woman.

The other one's a congressional candidate. And they're openly talking about how they use illegal immigrants for political power. Political power against who? Against you. If you are a member of the black community in a minority district run by Democrats, I want you to understand that they are using illegal immigrants to dilute your vote. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a simple math problem. Listen to me.

Let's just use easy, small, round numbers. If 10 people voted in an election for Congress and then you double that pool to 20 people, you add 10 illegal immigrants onto the ballot to vote, then your vote is worth half. Not hard. Easy to figure out, correct? Listen to them openly talk about this stuff. They are giving you the double-barreled middle finger, bro. I'm sorry.

Just listen to their own words. Check this out. We moved to this country. My parents moved to Florida, and that was a very different political context in which to be, call your son a socialista, right? And so I understand that, you know, sometimes because of our own safety, because of the political context, because of your power, you know, you may not be as,

out and proud or active in particular roles that may be public in your politics. But what I do want to say is that there are so many ways in which you can be involved behind the scenes in small ways. Part of the work that I did, and the reason I moved to Queens was because I saw the political power that undocumented workers and undocumented people in Queens were building. And, you know, I see some companions here that I work with at night, Barbara, shout out, companyera, who were part of this movement, right? And so I know deeply and personally and firsthand

that you don't have to have papers to have power, right? You don't have to have papers to have power. Actually, that's not the way this works. You actually do have to be a citizen to vote in federal elections. You actually do. But they don't care because they're attacking you. These are people running in blue districts. I mean, yes, the attack is on the American system of government.

Granted. Point stipulated. But the specific parochial attack is on you in your neighborhoods. Who is you? Black voters, Hispanic voters, white progressive voters. You are getting smoked by a bunch of people from foreign countries that are here illegally that they are using for power. They openly talk about it.

What part of you getting your political balls kick? in and being mocked and humiliated by people you think are your advocates and champions. What part of that doesn't bother you? You're a sucker. You're a sucker. Maybe that's not the easiest message for you to hear, but sometimes the syrup of Ipecac is the only way you're going to throw this poison up. I don't know what else to tell you, man.

They're telling you to your face. They don't give a shit about you. And I'm not, folks. we're not letting this go. To the guy in the chat who said that before, correct. This show is about the truth and is about getting the message out to voters out there

who are still up in the air or confuse and think the Democrats are the party of coexistence, bumper stickers, and tolerance. They're not the party of any of that. They're the party of destroying the constitutional republic through the death and destruction of socialism.

And that's it. Put an exclamation point on it. And I'm not falling. for this, oh, it's just like the Tea Party stuff. I said that to you before. I want you to watch this clip. This is Scott Jennings. He's on one of the weekend shows.

And he's debating Donna Brazil, who's a pretty prominent Democrat activist. And Donna Brazil tries to make this analogy here, too, that, oh, this is just like the Tea Party. Jennings like, no, I don't recall the Tea Party voting to basically abolish the skeleton and muscles of the entire Constitutional Republic. I don't recall that.

No one else does either, because it never happened. Check this out. On the Republican side, whether it was through the Tea Party in 2010, the activists who helped to bring about the MAGA movement. And with all due respect to my friend Donna, there's nothing like you can't draw any equivalence between the Tea Party movement and the Socialists. For one, the Tea Party folks weren't trying to bring about the downfall of Western civilization and the United States of America.

Abolish the police, abolish ICE, abolished borders, abolish the Senate, abolish the Constitution. There was nothing like this in the Republican Party. So it's an extreme political ideology that is gaining traction. The Democrat leadership has lost control. They know it. And people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cartez, Hong in Wisconsin, Abdul-El Sayette in Michigan. You talk about the big tent. The Democrat Jewish Attorney General of Michigan cannot even go to her party's nominating convention

because she says, I won't be safe there because of the supporters of Abdul L. Syed. You can't draw any equivalence between what happened in the Republican Party with the resurgence of patriot conservatives versus these anti-American radicals. Thank you, Scott, for saying that. You are 100% correct. I don't. Matter of fact, I would love it for Democrat activists, Donna or anyone else, to pin on my back a label, this guy was a Tea Party conservative. still is. I run from nothing. Zero. I am proud of every single thing I campaigned on and everything that movement represented to this day, period. Why are you guys trying to divorce yourself if it's the same thing? No one, no Tea Party conservative I know is divorcing themselves from that movement. Why are you guys? Why is AOC? Oh, woke one. No one. Why? Because you know you lied to people.

You know everything you said was BS because you simply wanted power. And ladies and gentlemen, a lot of these people on the left, they're starting to realize that the people who have empowered themselves in this Democrat socialist movement are idiots. No, I mean like actual morons. They are idiots. This lady, you may have seen this on cable news yesterday. I'm going to use a different clip because, you know,

if you see it on cable news all day, you don't need to see it here, okay? This lady, which is their name, Megan Rome or something, She is the DSA co-chair, Democrat Socialists of America. This is a very prominent person in their movement. I want to show you how their only goal is deception and power. That's it. They don't have any policy position. Sure, they do abolish it.

They don't care about any of that, folks. They're saying whatever needs to be said to get power. And if they have to abolish the Senate, they will. If they can use the Senate to take power, they'll love the Senate tomorrow. They don't know anything. Their only goal is power. I need you to understand that. I know this sounds crazy.

They will flip on a dime just like AOC, do the Tequila, and lie to you about anything. If it polls better tomorrow that they shouldn't abolish the Senate but expand the Senate to 7,000 members, they'll say that tomorrow too. They don't stand for anything. Only power. Listen to this numb nuts as David Remnick from the New Yorker, who's no conservative at all, by the way, starts asking a simple question. question about like Russia and Ukraine and this absolute imbecile says like Russia is a hyper-capitalist kind of Russia? Vladimir hyper-capitalist? She actually said that. And she's like, I don't recall any diplomacy with Ukraine. Really? I don't either. I never saw that. I didn't. There was none.

This actually happened. This is how stupid these people are. Check this out. I don't believe in pouring U.S. money, military weapons into anything. We don't think it makes a better anywhere um but obviously russia is this oligarchic dictatorship which is hyper-capitalist and Putin is this crazy right-wing oligarch of course he is going to uh to make horrific human life-ending decisions well this is this precisely why those countries wanted to be in NATO? Yes, but why aren't we doing any amount of actual diplomacy? Why aren't we doing any amount of actual sending actual human beings to talk to human beings

and figure out what? I don't understand what kind of, there's been all kinds of diplomacy, however, failed since the beginning of the invasion. We shouldn't send weapons to the Ukrainians? No. So just allow Russia to overrun Ukraine. Ukraine entirely. We should be sending huge teams of diplomats. We should be figuring out how to negotiate, how to get Russia off Ukraine's back. We should, yeah, absolutely. So Russia would get off of Ukraine's

back by us sending diplomats. I don't think that there is adequate negotiation. I don't think that there has been anywhere near adequate diplomacy. I love that you ended with Remnick's face. Remnick's confused. Like, is this woman an idiot? There have been no efforts at diplomacy in the the Russia-Ukraine war? Did you miss Donald Trump and Putin, their whole summit? Did you miss Zelensky at the White House multiple times? Did you miss the multiple delegations of U.S. representatives

going over to Ukraine? Everyone from, oh, my gosh, they actually have video. Justin, God forbid, you show receipts. This clearly is AI. President Trump and Putin with Air Force one in the back. that didn't happen. Megan Rumer said, oh, look at it. There's Olinsky at the White House in the famous meeting.

It was only worldwide news. These people are imbeciles. This lady's an idiot. You want to put this lady in charge with Hassan Piker and others, and you want us to walk away from it? Like, they're running with these people. Folks, they don't know anything. They are idiots.

Yeah, obviously. I love when they say obviously. You know who else does that too? They say that as if you're dumb with them. Obviously, there hasn't been enough diplomacy. Did you miss all this? Did you ever read this thing called a newspaper? You can actually read it on your phone, you know?

Try anything, the Daily News, the L.A. Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, anything. Just go put before you answer the question. Was there any diplomacy in Ukraine and chat GPT? No, none. No one did anything. They just sat on the silence. Are you insane? Folks, everything they tell you is stupid, uninformed, ridiculous, and is meant only as a bridge,

I use that word intentionally, to sucker you to get them to give you power so they can F you over hard. Take your money, take your kids, take your property. Remember the activists on that high tops video, the LGBTQ thing? We got to catch the kids early. Take them at their word. They're not kidding. I saw this video floating around yesterday.

trying to defend Mom Dami and is government supermarkets in New York City? Government supermarkets? What is this? The Soviet Union? Government supermarkets. She doesn't even know anything about the plan. She's like, yeah, Mom Dami's going to be able to sell groceries for cheaper than people who actually sell groceries for a living.

But not because there's any taxpayer money involved. He's just like a super genius who figured it out. Really? All the guy did who debunks this stuff is goes and pulls the document. and shows, this lady's just an idiot. Check this out. I don't understand how Mamdani can afford to sell groceries at 30% less. If most grocery stores operate at a 1% to 2% profit, you said it yourself.

You don't understand. First, it's not hard to understand how Mom Doni is going to sell groceries at a 30% discount. They're just going to use the city's money to subsidize the groceries. There's nothing that says the costs of these groceries are going to be fueled by your tax dollars. If you're saying that, you're just making it up. Well, let's just look at the official published documentation for program operators. It says that New York City, Economic Development Corporation, in collaboration with the city,

will deploy various resources to make the partnership successful and financially sustainable for grocery store operators. And a day, New York City Economic Development Corporation will provide operating financial support to the operators in the form of an affordability payment subject to the operator's compliance with the terms of any executed agreements, blah, blah, blah. They're also going to provide financial support to the operators to mitigate operating deficits attributable to discounted core basket sales and enable cost-effective program delivery. That's what I mean when I say she didn't really look into the issue at all. It's the official documented plan of the city that they're going to pay the grocery store operators to achieve the 30% discount. How else would that work?

Hat tip, I think so on X. All you had to do was look it up, man. That's it. I know sometimes it's painful for people to have this awakening moment like clockwork orange style, man, eyes wide open. Like, man, I've been lied to. These Democrats are bullshitting me about everything. They're bullshitting me so much. And when you look up the Democrats to Mamdami administration's own documents,

it says the opposite of what this lady's saying. I know it's tough for you to look in the mirror. and say, gosh, I'm an idiot. I know that's hard. There's going to be a reckoning there. I understand. I know that's got to be tough for you, but it's got to happen because you are, in fact, an idiot.

Folks, even the Washington Post is now starting to admit that this whole government stealing people's money, taxing people to death, and spending endless sums over and over. Even the Washington Post is starting to admit this is going to result in an apocalypse. When this is appearing in the Washington Post, look at the date, August 10, 2026, not from 10 years ago, when America's budget will break disastrously, telling you something I've been telling you the entire time. The national debt and the amount of money we're spending that the Democrats want to add to now to spend more is already unsustainable.

By 2030, we reach a breaking point where we can no longer pay the bills if something drastic doesn't change. Can you imagine what it's like for the Washington Post to have to admit this? We got a choice coming up. We have a choice in this election. And you know what's happening I'm finding now? The Dumers and the Grifters, again, with the demoralization ops on our side, they just can't stop. They don't want you to vote. They want to let the other side take over.

You got a freaking death cult in the Massachusetts governor's office. This Governor Healy just signed a bill to allow abortion like up to birth. That's got a name. It's called homicide. Like, that actually happened. And we're getting lost about, with the nothing is happening, doomers and bullshitters on our side.

Are you kidding me? Folks, we got to focus, man. This fight we're involved right now and it's real. The republic's at stake, man. This isn't like hyperbolic language. Just listen to the people trying to destroy. Put up that tweet.

This is real. Look at this. Proudly, look, they all start clapping. Massachusetts governor, Mara Healy, signs the bill for abortion up to birth as Democrats celebrate. Hat-tip Life News HQ on X. They're all clapping.

This is great. We get to murder children. This is the death cold. And we're getting lost with the dooms and the gloomers and the nothing is happening crowd? I'm going to get to more, some of that tomorrow. I had a bunch of other stuff I want to get to, but I'm just running out of time.

I just want to point out to this daily yeast, complete loser who is just like obsessed. Listen, if this lady shows up at, you know, at my house or something, I'm going to have this Annabella Riskeglione, again, is really obsessed with it. She went after Mike yesterday. Alfonso, you know, Mike used to work for the show, saying like he's not qualified to run for Congress. This lady, I'd like to see her qualifications to run for Congress. Of course, that's to throw with that. She's really obsessed with this show and her Her bosses at the Daily East, the tabloid, seemed to really enjoy it. So we'd like to see her qualifications.

I'd like to see her qualifications to be commenting on if she is this authority figure. The way she went after Mike, you know, I got to tell you, was just one of the more disgusting than it shows you how this is nothing more than tabloid trash. But she's just obsessed with the show. Listen, Annabella, we're not going to date you. I'm sorry. We're already taken. We're not.

You can keep trying, but we're just not going to do it. it. We're just not going to do it. Disgusting. All right, let me get to my spot comment of the day. And then we got a great interview coming up for you with Patriot Dad. You're really going to love it. This is good stuff right here. Check this out. Today's show brought to you by Car shield. What's that? Oh, yeah, yeah. Let's do the comment of the day. That's right. Let's do the comment of the day for us. Good call. See, that's why I got producers. They've got to keep me in line.

You know, I love introducing you to people who I really enjoy their content. This guy has been taken off on social media. I've seen his account. It's really great. I mean, you want to talk about a level-headed guy. You're great information. Patriot Dad, check him out on X. He's at Patriot Dad EV-77. We'll call you PD for this. So, PD, welcome to the show. So good. have you. Thanks, Dan. I really appreciate the opportunity. I was telling you in the green room, huge fan, P1 listener. I've been around for a long time and the opportunity to join you on this show is really, it's an honor. So thank you. No, listen, thank you, man. I mean, listen,

that people gave me a shot and I just feel an obligation. If it's really not about you, which it is not, then it's an obligation for people like us to pass that, you know, mantle and pass that torch on to other people as well. If people are getting out a good message, it's got to be about the message and you can't make yourself the focal point of it. I think that's a huge mistake. It's not a zero-sum game. Yeah, content-wise, people have a podcast shelf and there's only a few they're going to listen

to, but that doesn't prevent you from following the account on X and watching five minutes of this and five minutes of that. So I really enjoy your stuff. I find you to be so level-headed in this environment. And when I say this environment, this is kind of my first question. You know, I saw this a lot. I had left for a year, obviously, went into the FBI and had to be very circumspect in what I would put out.

It's not about you anymore. I was working for the administration. You know, I did very few media appearances. I think it was four or five. That was it in the year I'd been gone. But I watched, and I really couldn't believe some of the stuff that was happening. It was like we won, the Magaside won, and the movement instantly fractured.

And you had this group of people out there just pumping out every, garbage conspiracy theory known to man. I found you to be one of the level-headed guys saying, well, is there any evidence for that? And the technique they use, which I think you saw there, I haven't even seen you explain this a lot, is they overwhelm you with information, but they overwhelm you with actual evidence. It reminds me of the usual suspects. You know, we can put you in Queens at the night of the robbery. Yeah, I live in Queens. You figure that out by yourself, or you've got a team of monkeys working around the clock. We've got to learn to see through that.

Yeah, I mean, it's obvious. It's everywhere. that's totally pervasive. And it became evident almost from day one when Donald Trump stepped into office back in January of 2025, that there was a strategy at play. The strategy is very simple. It's to dazzle you with a bunch of information and then to totally underwhelm you with evidence. And you saw it with the Epstein hoax. You saw it with the Candice Owen stuff that's going on. You see it with the foreign intelligence operations that's happening. It's not about accuracy for most of these people. It's about clicks and engagement. there is nothing more engaging in social media today than just throwing a bunch of information out

and then letting people run with it. I mean, can you imagine sitting around at the end of the day? I couldn't. Dan, I don't think you could either. There's no way I could go to sleep every night, lay my head down and feel good about knowingly lying to people all over social media. And yet that's what works, unfortunately. So it's going to require those of us who actually care about honesty, integrity, the truth, making sure people are accurately informed when they go into the voter booth to cast ballots. It's going to require that we do the long, hard work of digging into what these people are saying and exposing it for what it is. It's an intelligence operation. It is an effort to dismantle, distract, and totally divide the MAGA base. And I'm not going to let it

happen. And there's a lot of us out here that refuse to allow a few grifters, because that's what they are, let's be totally honest, they are grifters. They are following the engagement, what I call the clickbucks all over social media and anywhere that they can. Now, some of them, obviously, have a much more nefarious agenda. We saw this with like the Thomas Massey's and the Epstein hoax stuff. Thomas Massey didn't give a crap about Jeffrey Epstein. He couldn't have cared less until it became very politically expedient for him and the agenda that he was pushing. And interestingly enough, I found this. One of the things that I love to do, my team and I on the Patriot Source podcast, we love to dig into specific topics and just drive them home as much as possible.

And would you be surprised to find out that Thomas Massey didn't start caring about the Epstein files until almost the exact same time that the Trump administration announced that we were going to bomb Iran? We were going to take out their nuclear facilities. And then you start to find relationships with people like Trita Parcy and De Quincey Institute. and Rokana and you know where that money is coming from. And you can see it developing right in front of your eyes. The question is, do people have the attention span to actually dive into the information? And that's what we're going to try to help them to do.

So that's what we do day in and day out, day in and day out, because it's important. Our country is under attack by a group of authoritarians who want to take control after Donald Trump leaves office. And the only way they can do that is if they destroy him. now. You know, Patriot, Dad, that's, that's why you didn't see a concerted effort like this in Trump 45, his first term. They knew he was going to run again. And there was a fear of taking him on because they knew if they were to encounter him in a primary that they would probably get smothered. They would get politically crushed. So you didn't see it as, of course they were going to,

they were, you know, there were Trump hate. I'm talking about within our own tent. The lefts always hated him. Grant that we get all that one. not talking about them for now. We're talking about what I call Folex MAGA, you know, the fake Rolex MAGA, the people who pretended to be part of our Tentemort. They largely stayed quiet because they realized the political power of this new MAGA movement, the incorporation of large groups of minorities for the first time that Donald Trump had built a coalition they had talked about, but they never successfully done themselves. So they stayed quiet. Now that they know he's term limited and can't run again, now you see this just explosion of the Dumers and the Grifters.

But I mean, listen, I'm a rose-colored glasses. I am an optimist, call me crazy. But I've been in the business a long time. I want to be dramatic about it. Like, Sean's been around like 30 years longer. Mark Levin and others. These are guys who gave me my shot. But I've been around a little over 10 years now.

You know, I've been through the Huckabee-Santorum fights, the Mitt Romney primaries, the DeSantis Trump fights. I mean, I've been through all these before. And I find what happens is voters, are pretty, pretty smart people. They get it after a while. Sometimes they do fall in the trap. You and I are seeing it now.

They'll fall for some of the stuff because it appeals to emotion. I mean, some people get sucked into a vortex. But eventually people get tired of being lied to. You see it on the left and the rights. What happened with Rachel Maddow after her 4,000 T's about how we got Trump this time, eventually people just kind of gave up on her.

I think that's going to happen here in this movement, too, because all of the people you just cited have claimed all of these things. I'm going to read all these animals. And then they never actually did it. So sooner or later, it's either like get it done or get off the bowl. You know what I'm saying? Brother, like get it done. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, that's exactly right. I think most reasonable people after being gas lit to the extent that we're being gas lit, they just make a conscious decision. Like, I'm not going to follow this anymore. If you can't deliver the receipts, two, three, four, five times in a race, row, it's time to move on. There's one challenge to that. And that's why I do think that the people who are spending the majority of their time on social media trying to debunk this stuff,

there's one challenge to that. One thing that Candace Owens does really, really well, she's incredibly effective at it is she makes her audience feel like they are part of what she's doing. And the psychology, Dan, you know this. I mean, you studied psychology. You understand how this works. Instead of just going out and just throwing slop on the table, she's bringing people into her movement into what I call a cult. I mean, there's no doubt about it. It acts and behaves exactly like a cult would behave. And she's enabled this group of people to become these mommy sleuths. And now everything that she says, they now become advocates for because they feel like they're connected to it. But the problem is most people aren't. So when they see

things like I just saw just yesterday, she just posted a photograph of someone that appears to be Tyler Robinson walking through a garage that was shown at the evidentiary hearing. And it is obvious to anybody paying attention that the photograph that was shown was clearly manipulated. And yet you still have people on social media who will die on the hill. That because she posted it, it's got to be real. Those are people who are invested in what she's doing. But that's not going to last for long. You're going to have maybe a handful of these people who are making money, hand over fist doing this. You're going to have some of the 9 a.m. Mommy Wino Club people who wake up and they, that's all they do all day. But people understand that

we have really important things to deal with in this country. We have an economy that is getting ready to explode because of what Donald Trump is doing in the economy. We have this existential threat happening in America where communist and socialist, really what I've started to consider, the politics of confiscation has decided that now is the time to make their move, to try to take over the Democrat Party, just take it out. I mean, they think that this is the perfect opportunity for it. So it's going to take reasonable minded people willing to say,

we're not going to be distracted by this. We can engage in it. We can communicate on it. We can debunk things when they come up. But we've got an election to win, folks. There's a midterm coming up in just a couple of months. And we have very real issues we're going to have to deal with. And most of us are just going to put Candace Owens in a rearview mirror at this point.

because honestly she's just wasting time. Give our buddy Patriot Dad a follow on X at Patriot Dad EV77. It's worth your time. You just kind of nailed home a point I'm very concerned about. The Dumer Grifter strategy, again, in Folex Mag, is very clear. It's constantly tell people nothing's happening. Ignore the closed border, the crime numbers, the just explosion in the manufacturing index, the onshoreing again of high quality.

You got electricians making $250K a year working at some of these cloud computing data centers were putting together. Listen, I'm not a huge fan of tariffs, but there's a lot of money's been generated from tariffs that could potentially be used to offset income taxes and more damaging forms of taxes. So there are a lot of things going on. Saying nothing is happening. Now, it's fair to say I don't like what's happening.

that's, I don't agree, but it's totally fair. That's your right to an opinion like I do. But the same nothing is happening is just nonsense. It's just indicative of your own ignorance or your ability to lie to people. I think the biggest problem I have with this whole thing is what you just said, though. The fight we're having now with the Democrats

is not the fight we have with the Bill Clinton Democrats. Not a fan of Bill Clinton, but the guy gave a speech saying the era big government is over. You say that now, you'd be tard and feathered in the Democrat Party. We're fighting people now talking about abolishing prisons, defunding the police, talking about how rapes don't bother them on October 7th, how we deserve 9-11.

They're campaigning with this guy. I mean, these are not milk-toes policy positions. These are positions that if these kind of people and their associates are to get in office, you're talking about the actual destruction of the republic as we know it, and we're getting distracted by dooming and grifting and just straight up line. is happening. It's just crap. Yeah, I mean, it's, it is very clearly the destruction of the Western civilization. That's their stated objective. That's the goal. And, and you can see it in just about every policy position that they present. You can see it when they talk about things like

abolishing the Senate. There's zero, there is zero constitutional method by which you can abolish the Senate. As a matter of fact, the Senate is the only institution that according to the Constitution cannot be abolished. You can change it. But Article 5 of the Constitution very clearly lays out that the state is guaranteed its suffrage in Congress, which means that you cannot abolish the Senate. The only way that you could possibly do that is full-scale revolution. It's the elimination of the Constitution of the United States. That's it. There's no other mechanism. And the fact that they are boldly communicating that that's what they want to do should tell you everything about who these people are. And the fact that they think the time is now for them to make your move should also tell you

the condition of the adversary of the Democrat Party. They feel like they have the perfect opportunity to take over the entire Democrat Party so that they can own a political party and then drive their message. Folks, this is an existential threat. Candace Owens, what's happening in social media is incredibly important. But when you go out and look to try to find out what exactly these people are planning to do to this country, I came across to a. article that was written not too long ago. And it was effectively, what was it the, I think it was

Project 2028, I think it was. I can't remember the name of the top of my head. But it was an article written by two DSA members and they talk about what they plan to do when DSA gets into office in 28. And it is full on revolution. It is full confiscation of the means of production. It is freezing assets so people can't leave. It is eliminating, eliminating every tenant of our republic that you can possibly think of. This is the fight. This is what we need to be focused on. And that's what we are focused on here at the Patriot Source podcast. And I try to tailor a lot of my content on is helping people understand that despite the rhetoric that we're seeing from the politics of confiscation, people aren't buying it. I mean, have you looked at what makes up the

Democrat Socialists of America, less than 5% of their membership are people who actually build things, people who are actually helping to grow this economy. Blue collar workers, skilled tradesmen, are the ones who are watching their incomes increase four or five thousand dollars over the last year. They're the ones who are, in fact, becoming entrepreneurs and are taking those skilled trades and they're turning them into businesses. They are largely the means of production. in the country. It is those skilled people who are building the data centers, who are building the cloud computing, who are literally building the manufacturing base that Donald Trump is revitalizing through the American system of political economy. These are the people that are going to be

the targets of the politics of confiscation. And I think they're smart enough to realize that when communist and socialist talk about confiscating the means of production, they're talking about confiscating your means of production, not some obscure billionaire who's got most of his money and commodities and assets somewhere. They're talking about the plumber, the engineer. They're talking about the electrician, the people who put risk, put skin in the game, went out open to business, and are now thriving an economy that is basically, we're, we are effectively using the same process that was used to build the country after the revolution, the same process that was used to rebuild it after the Civil War.

process that McKinley used, that Lincoln used to rebuild, revitalize the middle class. And I think when people see what the politics of confiscation promises, they realize that it will never be successful because the American system of political economy that Donald Trump is amplifying is the only thing that actually works to rebuild the middle class. And that's the reason why when people ask me, has Donald Trump ever done anything wrong that you disagree with? I'm like, yeah, sure, totally. I mean, there's a lot of things about Donald Trump that I don't necessarily align with 100%. I mean, I am a born again spirit-filled Christian. And sometimes he says things that, let's be honest, kind of make me feel a little weird.

But I agree in his agenda. And I agree in the results that I've seen. And I understand where he's going. And if the Republican Party can find it somehow within themselves to recognize that the only way that this republic survives is if we focus on rebuilding this country, from the ground up, not destroying it through the politics of confiscation and socialism and communism. Yeah, and listen, they're not, they're not hiding it. I mean, if you want to know what the Democrat socialist agenda is, just ask them. I mean, they'll tell you. It's not like anything you just said the Patriot Dad made up abolish the Senate, abolish, I say, just go put that in Twitter in the search bar and you'll see it. And you also said something else, I think it's really important.

And, you know, if you think, oh, well, you know, I'm middle class and I'm safe from this, Abdul El-Sayed, the socialist candidate in Michigan who just won a major party Senate nomination, just openly said, like, no, no, we're basically going to tax the middle class too to take away your health care to give it to the government to control your art. Like, he just admitted it. It's, you know, it's, but this is one with the point I wanted to make on this, too, is one one of the reasons I'm so bothered. And the thing I, if I had to triage my concerns, triage my concerns right now, it is the incorporation into Folex MAGA of leftist victimhood.

This idea that some collective group of people, not an individual, but a collective group of people must have done this thing to you that led to this position you're in. The Jews have done it. The evangelicals have become a target lately. Protestants. I am neither of those things. I'm Catholic and I say to people all the time, Patriot Dad, I say, listen, this to me is not about the Jews. It's not.

It's about collective guilt. Like this never goes anywhere, but death, destruction, torture. We've had Holocaust mass exterminations in communist countries. I mean, what else do you, what historical example do you need me to point? down. And the fact that I've seen this same technique leveraged by people pretending to be on our side where every single problem, like now it's like the Hunter Biden laptop, it's like the Jews that you're like, holy Moses, like at what point do we realize like this is a leftist technique to get a bunch of people into a corner of like a WWE ring and just like beat the crap out of each other,

except it's real. You know, like you cannot fall for this. This to me is a public threat number one within our own tent. I completely agree. And you're absolutely right. It is a technique. It's a technique that's been borrowed from the radical left because you can see it work. I mean, you can see it deployed. So, you can see when people in social media are using the exact same tactics of the left. And we should not be surprised by this. I mean, folks, you understand that when the Democrat Socialist of America broke off from the International Socialist Organization and then connected themselves directly into the Cuban radicalization networks. They started developing this strategy of, Dan, you're familiar with a guy named Antonio Gramsie, who's kind of sitting in fascist prisons. He developed this framework that helped revolutionaries understand why they were not able to take over the West.

In factively, what he said is, you're not going to be able to destroy a Christian name. nation until you destroy the culture. And the only way to destroy the culture is to break the cultural hegemony, the thing that makes the country who they are. So you have to go after the collective mindsets, the values that the country collectively believe in, Christian values, moral values, capitalist values. You have to go after those things collectively. You have to go after the relationship between the United States and Israel. Are there things that are going on in Israel that you probably disagree with? Yeah, maybe.

Sure. But they are one of our best allies. They are one of our best partners in the Middle East. That is a relationship that they have to break. And unfortunately, the people that make up what I have referred to as Faga, fake ass, gay ass Americans, these people who these people who are black pillars, they understand exactly, exactly how to use the same tactics. You have to break the hegemony. And Dan, one thing I'll say, so right after the Charlie Kirk assassination, my team and I were starting to dive into what happened in that event.

And one of the things that we came across was a blog post written by an Antifa organization. And in that blog post, they talked about how in order to break the hegemony of the conservative right who were basically becoming united because of that event, they were going to use Israel as the wedge to do it. And you should not be surprised to find when people who are obviously operating on behalf of foreign intelligence operations are using the same tactics that people like Antifa were talking about right after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It's a strategy. It's a tactic. And unfortunately, it's working for some people.

But I do think a lot of people are starting to wake up, Dan. I think that they have had enough of being lied to. They've had enough of the propaganda. And they realize that we're at a critical junction in our country's history. It's either going to be authoritarianism or it's going to be rebuilding the middle class in the American economy. You can't do both at the same time. And I think people know that. Yeah, I got to run, but I definitely share your optimism as, again, someone who's just as a function of time.

I've been in this space for well over a decade. You know, we've been a top performing show thanks to this amazing audience. I'd love them to death. But we've never, you know, we've never let them down. it's sticking to a true north direction. And I think when you do that, it's cyclical at times. Like you're going to see this creep up.

I've seen it at least two or three times. There are various collective guilt movements. They surface on the right. You get like some bots in there. There's a lot of real people. It's not all bots. But you get a lot of bots, a lot of foreign money that comes in.

I know you see it on Twitter. You put up a post. You're like, oh my God, I can't believe all these people. It's not real, man. It's not real. Whatever they do like a wipeout of the botic. You notice it goes down.

Like it's almost not existent after that. So I'm just telling you someone who's been here a long time, you know, and I know you don't need a lecture from me. You're already there, but just, you know, stay focused on being on the right moral arc of history. And your show is always going to do well. All this stuff always goes away. I could tell you a thousand names of people.

Some of them, you'll be like, who the hell's that? And I'll be like, exactly. The person was a big thing four or five years ago. And now they're complete zeros. You can find them on X at Patreon. Patriot Dad, EV-7-7. I keep pointing because I don't want to mess it up. At Patriot Dad, EV-7-7. I wrote it down.

Thank you so much for spending some time with us. We would love to have you back if you're open for it. And I'll be watching your stuff. That was really great commentary. Thanks so much. Thank you for the opportunity, Dan. You got it. Like I said, folks, it's not about us.

It's not. I love the show. I love that you're here. But it's about, you know, passing that torch to other creators, too. and making sure you're getting information from people, you know, who are just telling you straight. They're just telling you straight. I mean, that matters.

That's sticking with that north direction. Thanks so much for tuning in. I really appreciate it. Don't miss the Sean Ferris show coming this Monday. Bongino.com slash Sean S-H-A-W-N. Don't miss it. If you go to Bonino. com slash Sean, you can follow him on all the platforms,
