All the time. On the side of freedom and liberty, your voice of hope and truth is here. The Bon Gino Report, PM, with Dan Bonjino. You know, producer Jim, sometimes I wondered if I would ever hear that glorious sound again. And the glorious sound of your voice on the radio airwaves, too. And does it feel good to be back? Folks, for those of you who miss the Dan Bongino radio show, now me and Sean Farrison Bonino Report PM,

radio was, oh, and still kind of now is still my first love. Not that I don't love the podcast or doing TV or Fox or elsewhere, but I got my start in radio early on. I would fill in on Christmas mornings and WCBM up in Baltimore. They were nice enough to have me. WMAL, one of the great stations. in Washington, D.C. would have me on this weekend show.

And there's just something to radio. Jim, you've been around in the podcast space with me for a while, right? Like, radio is just different. A little bit. A little bit. That's a P1 thing. So to all you P1s out there, we are really ecstatic to be back in this new time slot.

Thank you so much for all your support. We have a ton. I mean, a really a boatload of new announcements coming out to as we expand using our podcast platform with Sean. We have Haley. We've got Vince. We're on radio with Vince now 12 to 3. Sean 3 to 4.

You know, me 4 to 6. So you're going to get a lot of content and more announcements coming in the next coming weeks and months. So I'm really excited about it. A big congratulations too for those who listens to the podcast every day to producer Guy. Had a baby this weekend. So producer Guy is now a dad, which as Jim knows, is the greatest experience in the world.

There is nothing. Thank you. We have a live audience, of course, in the studio, and it's always nice to have them around. Jasmine's like, no, you don't. Some of you will get that. It's a P1 thing. Of course, we like a bunch of sarcastic humor.

But when you're going to sleep at night and you go and you knock on your daughter's door like I do, and you say, give dad a hug before you go to sleep. And she looks at you and says, I love you, Daddy. They'll get choked up. it's only the first segment. Folks, there's nothing like that. There is no experience.

If you don't believe in God, after having those words said to you and that little spidey sense tingle you get in your brain, except it's not dangerous, it's love, I can't help you. But congratulations to producer Guy. So I'm really happy about that.

All right, let's get to some of the show content. Again, I'm really ecstatic to be back with you on radio. I hope you enjoy it as we go forward and we expand the Bongino Report footprint out there. Folks, I spent the last, year in the Trump administration, working on a couple of very clear goals within the FBI. And one of the things when I came out,

I was warning you about very early, which I've now been vindicated yet again about, is be very careful where you're getting your information from online. Again, I don't want to get into a lot of this faux-intra-party squabble stuff because we have a mid-term coming up. However, I say faux-intra-party, because a lot of these people on, quote, our side that are supposedly friends of ours, friends of our movement, align with our values, are in fact not aligned with our values.

And I've been warning you about this money trail for a really, really long time, that there is nothing wrong. Matter of fact, I highly recommend and value the fact that we have a big tent Republican party where people have differences of opinion on all kinds of issues. Some people believe in a fair tax. Some people believe in a flat tax. Some people want Social Security moved into your own personal accounts. Some people want the system preserved as is.

Some people want to move the date you can get benefits later. Some people want to move Medicaid to a, you know, HSA type option and other things. There are varieties of opinions on Iran. That is good. That is a good thing. There is nothing more dangerous and destructive to a party than having a bunch of barking seals who just clap for anything, you know, their dear leader says. That's a huge mistake.

It doesn't keep anybody frosty. It's a huge tactical error in activism, and it's a way your party's going to fall apart. You're seeing it now with the Democrats, who are all afraid to speak out against like Hassan Piker, who's not even a politician. That's not what I'm talking about when I give you this morning here. There is a very dangerous effort,

a well-funded effort, by a lot of foreign operatives and foreign governments to influence people in the United States for positions that are hugely counterproductive, if not self-destructive to the United States. I've been warning you about it forever. I've seen some of this intel. It's devastating.

I bring it up today because, you know, I read the leftist Bible every morning. I think you should, too. I don't usually recommend leftist outlets like Politico Playbook. However, political playbook in their morning email, if you ever see, I'll give you a little tip if you're running for office.

If you want to see what the Democrats are going to debate and argue about on like CNN or whatever, just read Playbook in the morning. And you're going to say, you're going to see, you're going to read in a piece of the morning. A Democrat said this,

and then you're going to hear the exact same talking point later, talking point. So it's an easy way for you to get out ahead of their messaging and be able to respond quickly. We've been telling people about this for years. So I read political playbook in the morning.

And they ran a piece right in the beginning about a bill by a Republican, Anna Paulina Luna, down here in the great state of Florida. Anna Paulina Luna is now warning about what I've been warning you about for a long time. This influencer space out there where some of the things you read that they're putting out there are not necessarily principled positions, but are positions there being paid to advance. It's a small portion, but not an insignificant portion of the moment. You have to be careful where you're getting your information from, or you are going to be misled.

Here, this is from Playbook this morning. Jim should we do it? We haven't done this in a while. Yes. You remember that? Hat tip, the great legendary Rush Limbaugh. I miss that. We have a new producer, Andy, in the studio.

What are you talking about? Justin, you remember that? Hat tip, the great... Here, political playbook. Luna's influence operation. Being an influencer right now, is kind of like the Wild West, Annapolina Luna told Playbook.

There's a lot of things laws haven't caught up to. The Florida Republicans rolling out the foreign propaganda registration act, an amendment to the Foreign Agents Registration Act that would require influencers to disclose when they're being paid by a foreign government to push political messaging, according to the proposal first shared by Playbook. It goes on.

The practice reaches deep into the influencer ecosystem. Pay really close attention to this. This is super important. Some of your biggest profile names, a large portion of them, in some way, shape or form, have been approached at one point to push a certain position that's probably tied to a foreign country, Luna said, and that money can be significant. I've seen contracts into the millions, Luna said. Folks, I have been warning you about this forever.

A lot of this stuff you're hearing right now is not some principled position one of these people had. It is a financed position by dirty money flushing into the system. Now, you have, I'm a free speech absolutist, as long as you're not breaking the law. Have whatever opinion you want about the Luna proposed legislation. You know, should there be some kind of asterisk next to a post if you were paid to post it? I don't think it's the worst idea in the world. I'm not a huge fan of a government injecting into the free speech space. However, this is not free speech. It was quite literally, and you know, I hate that word, paid for a speech. It is not a small amount of money.

Let me read this again. Anna Paulina Luna says, I've seen contracts into the millions. One of the spaces I'll get to later in the show where you're seeing a lot of this is the conflict right now over in Iran. It is okay to have an opinion which differs from the administration,

which differs from Pete Higgsett, Dan Bongino, Marco Rubio. That is okay. There is nothing wrong with that. I can't say this enough. I hate these phony arguments. What are you trying to do? Stop people from having it.

Nobody is saying that. No one is saying that. What we are saying is if a foreign government that wants, is this, by the way, is any of this controversial? Jim, is any of what I'm about to say controversial? I think you know where I'm going with this here. If you are being paid by a foreign government that wants the Iranians to win in this conflict

because they hate the United States, I think it's only fair, you kind of tell us. Like, it's kind of a big deal. You're seeing a lot of these influencers and personalities out there, attacking the president, attacking the administration, attacking Hegg Seth, attacking Rubio, attacking now Vance, I've seen them now starting to turn on J.D. Vance, too. You're seeing this happen.

And you're thinking, oh, my gosh, is this real? Is this organic? It's not organic. We have... Tip is back. Tip is back on the show. Did you plan that? Did you have that way?

Did you listen to some of my podcast before and plan that right? No, I'm just that good, Dan. You are that good. You are that good. It's not real. Listen to Tiff. It's not real. They are doing this at the behest of a foreign power that hates the United States.

not all of them, but many of them. Be very careful where you get your information. Now, I have taken it upon myself when I did my tenure at the FBI and entered back into this content creation space. I have taken it upon myself to expose the dooming and glooming and the influence ops out there,

which has these people really upset because they want to keep, making money off deceiving you. I only bring that up because this weekend, in case you missed it, matter of fact, this whole past week, primary season has now come to an end. All of the enemies of the Trump administration, enemies of me too,

are now completely crashing out because everything they told you was going to happen. We're going to win with these primary candidates, these primary candidates who hate President Trump in the agenda. They all got smoked. It was, they got smoked, completely destroyed. So now the crash out, we were trending like every day last week because they realized I was right. That everybody saw through the grift and now they had to drop a big L.

So now you're seeing the freak out from people who are trying to expose what we're going to call, you know, the new Trump resistance. Well, if it's the new Trump resistance, then what's the old Trump resistance? Ladies and gentlemen, the old Trump resistance was a small portion of the Republican Party, the Liz Cheney's, the Adam Kinsinger's, that aligned with lunatics on the left, Adam Schiff and others, George Conway and other people like that, who just completely exposed themselves in January season two. Fox News politics has a post up about this. You would think the new Trump resistance? The new Trump resistance would have learned from the old Trump resistance that just got completely wrecked. Fox News Politics has a tweet up. They put up last week about this at Fox News Politics. Democrats who built their brands on resisting Trump during his first term are getting wiped out in

their own primaries. Not by the opposing party, but by challengers from the left flank demanding the party go further. So just to be clear, before I go into the names, the Trump resistance within the Democrat Party was a flop. Listen to what Fox News politics is saying in this tweet. The people on the Democrat side who made their entire brand Trump sucks we hate Trump orange man bad all this other crap that was their entire brand it completely flopped even the democrats are done with this making your entire brand about everything Trump does sucks why do you think then a group of people pretending to be in the maga 10 the folex mega people the fake Rolex mega people right why would you think that these people would then adopt this if it's so

tactically inefficient that the Democrats don't even want it. The answer is what it always is, follow the money. Look at what happened. Look at what happened in this primary cycle, even with Trump resistance won. Remember Alexander Vindman? As they note, the former Army Lieutenant Colonel, he's proud of that, who became a household.

You've got to watch that clip with, you'll see what I'm talking about. If you go back and watch a clip with Devin Nunes. The former Army Lieutenant Colonel who became a household name as a key witness in Trump's first impeachment, He just got smoked in Florida's Democrat U.S. Senate primary by a woman he dramatically outspent. It wasn't even close. He got destroyed.

He's not alone. Reps Diana DeGette, Dan Goldman, Sri Thanadar, and Al Green have also fallen. These are all Democrats to younger, more progressive challengers this cycle. Trump resistance movement won flopped with Democrats. Why the hell would you try to incorporate this into the Republican tent? The answer is easy. Follow the money. I warned you.

We're always right. I'll take a quick break. We'll be right back. Bonino with Dan Bonjino. So for those of you who are new to the show, I think it's really important. Don't you think producer, Jim, that we start to introduce you for the names and the whole Bonino Report PM family or Dan Bonino show family. I mean, you obviously know Sean Farish hosting from the first hour nationwide.

But Teresa's part of the family too. Teresa works at Westwood One. Jim's like, where are we going with this? I promise this story has a purpose given that yesterday was our radio launch. It went amazing. Thank you for all the incredible feedback. We appreciate it for Sean Faris too for crushing it. You know, radio is my, as I said yesterday, my first love.

I got my start there. I absolutely love it. But I'm sitting home yesterday, Jim, after the show. And I get a call and it says, Teresa. So Teresa's like the Bongino whisper over at Westwood One. And she's like, man, it was like you and Jim were never gone. That actually happened, Jim. I'm not making this story.

This is one of those like four radio stories. You know, you BS your listeners about it actually happened. But it was like we just picked up where we left off, you know, a year and a half ago. I thought so. Yeah, it just feels great. I love radio, folks. I can't say it enough. It's such an amazing medium.

It just feels like I was chatting with Sean Farrish, who, you know, hosts the first hour, before the show actually today. And I said to him, and folks in the audience, if you think I'm crazy here and you're in the podcast space, then, you know, let me know, tweet to me, whatever. But doing a video podcast, which I love doing too, but it's almost like a presentation. whereas radio is more of a conversation. You're in someone's car, you're in someone's Bluetooth headphones

while they're mowing the lawn or something. It's just different. So I love it, not to belabor the point. I miss it. I'm really glad to be back. I'm honored and thank you to all the amazing program directors, you know, who continue to carry the show and took a chance on us early on the first time.

We really appreciate it. It's good to have you. you all there and thank you primarily to the people in the listening audience you're what makes the show special it wouldn't have been an amazing launch without you me and jim can only listen to the show once while we do it that's it so today's show uh by the way we have another huge announcement about radio coming tomorrow so don't miss that we're we're going to be expanding again yeah we do you didn't know that jim's learning yeah sure and now that's fake news if i had president trump on right now i swear oh you know okay oh you really don't look at them i have him on the eye

so I can see him. He really doesn't know. Okay, good. Well, surprise you tomorrow too. Don't text me after the show. What is it? Because I'm not going to tell you. So tune in tomorrow for Jim's candid reaction. He really doesn't know. But it is, it's not fake news. It actually is happening. Folks, don't chase calm in your lives. Well, that was a shift in tone. Yeah, it happens on her. Sometimes you just got to go. Don't. You know, I know there's a lot going on. I understand that. We have a, an economic D-Day warfare going on with the Iranians. We have kinetic action. We have our boys in harm's way.

I get it. The economy is always going to be a battle to keep it moving forward in the right direction. Keeping the border closed is not an easy fight. It takes a lot of manpower. To deport 20 million plus people, Obama and Biden led in here. This is all really hard work. You know, to constantly fight for school choice despite teachers' unions. listen, I'm not knocking the teachers, you all are great.

It's not about you, but these union interests trying to keep your kids in crappy schools. Like, this is really hard work. Now we've got this, not new phenomenon, but we've got this, I think Twitter makes it appear more powerful than it really is. This doom and gloom phenomenon where people who we used to trust in our movement are now all of a sudden, like everything the Trump administration does is bad. And I know the temptation sometimes is to say, well, just ignore it.

Folks don't. Do not chase calm in your life. I was reading some thing this morning on X by this substack writer. And you say, now, all these intellectual geniuses and stuff, they're the discriminating point that makes them, you know, smart, smart people rather than stupid smart people. Some of you'll get that of your P1 listeners. It's the fact that they chase calm.

I don't agree with don't chase calm. Don't chase calm. You know, it was easy for me to chase calm and continue doing my show. but when President Trump calls you and asks you, hey, can you help run the FBI? The answer is yes. It's not like, hey, I meant for you guys to do stuff. The do matters, which we should say all the time.

But not for me. I was just kidding. Like, that doesn't work. Don't chase calm. We're going to talk about this today during the show often. You almost have to act like a magnet for some good chaos sometimes. You're the ones out there. You know, my friend Jimmy, Ginny Thomas used to say to me all the time.

She's been an amazing activist for a long time. You are the leaders we've been waiting for. You and the leaders we've been waiting for. listening on it. You're the leaders we've been waiting for. I'm not some captain in this army out there. I'm just a guy with a microphone. I hope you like to show. I'm honored you're here. But you're the leaders

we've been waiting for. There's something in your community you can advocate for, something nationally. You've got a voice on X. You've got a voice on Facebook. I have only 25 followers. It doesn't matter. Those are 25 people you can talk to. Use it. It requires taking on sometimes a lot of anxiety

and pain and suffering. And it's a pain. Sometimes you just want to say, oh, man, enough of this today. Like, I'm just going to, whatever, tweet about baseball. We can't do that. You know, for our old radio listeners who are back, you know, I love the quote in a book The Natural, Roy Hobbs book, is it Malamette who wrote it? He says, you know, we all live two lives, the one we learn from and the one we live after

that. But it's the second part of the quote that matters that the real path to happiness is through suffering. We're going to win this. The Trump administration is dealing with a lot of problems. Some are persistent and tough. But I promise they're putting out their best effort and their litany of results are like nothing we've ever seen in less than two years in office in modern American history. You saw Scott Besson's announcement on Economic D-Day against Iran yesterday.

If that works out and he drives this Iranian regime from power, President Trump will go that. It's a big if, I grant it. I'm not just jumping past like the chapter 12 of a 12-page book when we're on chapter 2. I'm not. I'm just telling you, like, for all the doom and gloom out there, we have the closed border, crime has been crushed, we're building stuff again, the manufacturing business is taken off, we're the world leaders in AI, where the world leaders in quantum, where the world leaders in material sciences.

Like you live in the greatest country on earth with the most powerful military. It is a good time to be alive right now. You have to take it to these other people who are constantly trying to dissuade you from showing up in the midterms so we lose. Don't fall for the scam. Do not fall for this scam. Ask questions. It's the right thing to do.

No one's telling you, shut up. Anyone who tells you that is lying. Do not shut up. I'm glad we have a Republican Party where people still ask questions. Keeps everybody frosty. But if you're out there engaging in an agitation propaganda campaign to get people to not show up

because you want the Republican Party to lose the midterms to turn the country over to castration versus circumcision Abdul L. say, what? That show changed tone quick. Then you are the problem. What do I mean by Jim? You got that one? Cute. Is this the first, I think this is the first thought we're going to play in the opening segment of the show. We didn't play one yesterday, right? So this is their first one. Here's what I mean. You want to turn the country over to these people? Jesse Waters, who's a great friend. He owes a great show. His booking team, congratulations, managed to convince Democrat lunatic U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, Abdul El-S. Ayyad to come on the show yesterday with Jesse Waters.

The Democrats, from what I'm hearing, listen to your buddy Dan here, from what I'm hearing, the Democrats in D.C. are furious about this. They want this guy, Al-Said, Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, to just shut up. He is going to destroy the Democrat brand during the midterms. He, the guy's a straight up lunatic, whether his stance on Sharia law, government-run healthcare, taking away your, your union earned or private health care plan with your employer. He wants to take all day, they want this guy to shut up. And what does he do? He goes on Fox and gets destroyed.

I warned you during yesterday's show that one of the tactics, these horrible Democrat candidates use is they never want to answer. a question ever. They don't want you to see what they're about to do because this is the critical question in today's show. If you see it, will it change your mind?

Abdul al-Sayed doesn't want you to see it. So every time he's asked the question, do you support Sharia law? What about stealing people's employer-backed health care? What about trans surgeries, cutting off the units of young boys and cutting off the breasts of young girls?

Where do you stand on that? Where do you stand on that? He doesn't want you to see it. I'm going to bring this up often today, but it reminds me of these abortion opponents, me included, I am an enormous advocate for the pro-life cause because, folks, if we can't support life,

our stance on taxes is irrelevant. However, do you notice how angry the pro-abortion people get when people show up on a college campus and just show a photo of like, hey, this is what it looks like in an abortion. Don't show us, Dad. Why? I don't understand.

What do you mean? If you support it and if you see it, why are you worried it's going to change people's mind? If you see it, will it change your mind? That's why these people lie and try to reframe all the time. This happened last night on Jesse Waters Show. Here's some audio of Abdul Al-Sahed and Jesse Waters. Asked a very simple question about trans surgeries, government funding to cut off the reproductive organs of healthy young men and women.

This is insane. It's an insane policy. 80 plus percent of Americans do not support. So what does Abdul-A-Ed? He tries to reframe it and never gets to the question. Do not let them do this. Jesse does a good job of keeping him on task. Don't ever let these left-this lunatics do this.

Check this out. Are a doctor, right? I am. So you think it's okay for a parent to slash his kids stiggling off? You think that's okay. I mean, do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised? Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that's a personal question.

Okay, doctor. You probably should want to move on. You probably should want to move on. Is circumcision different than castration? I think it's a problem. It's a problem that you think that you get to decide what happens between a parent, a doctor, and a patient. And I'm just saying that, yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid's dingling. So if you really want to bring that up, you can.

I just think you guys are really selective about how you want to talk about these things. That's wacky. Michigan's not going for that. That is sick stuff. Jim, I know you saw the podcast earlier in the day. If you want to check out the podcast, by the way, everyday live 10 a.m. Eastern Time, rumble.com slash Bongino.

It's free. Just watch. You can join the chat every single day. One of the folks in the chat says this guy's a Democrat socialist, the DSA Democrat Socialists of America, that they should be called the dingling slicers of America. I agree. I agree. Someone should trend that on X because that's who they are now.

does this guy abdulah say does he think this sounded good last night now i know the impulse here because i had it too the impulse here is to want to say are you seriously comparing circumcision to the of a young man's unit you're a doctor i know that's the impulse don't do it don't do i know it's crazy but that's the tactic you have to recognize their political battle tactics that's he says something crazy to distract you because he doesn't want you to see what an abortion looks like he doesn't want you to see the sign that he supports this taxpayer money going to mutilate kids he doesn't so what does he do he says something crazy to distract you the impulse is i know me too you want to be like circumcision this guy's a doctor with an idiot it's nothing to do whatsoever with a

the trans, what is he even talking about? Does this guy even understand basic anatomy and how this thing works? Don't do it. Because he's trying to distract you because he can't get past the critical question in politics when you're advocating for crazy stuff. If you see it, will it change your mind? If he answers the question, El Cyan, honestly, yes, I saw. support for the units of young boys who may be at a confusing time of their life and trying

to pretend their young girls. He knows that if you see it, it'll change your mind. So he does this Democrat stunt and scam. They poll all the time where he says something absolutely ridiculous to get you sucked in. And I got to tell you, Jesse did an amazing job. We got some stuff coming up later on from this clip. We got additional clips from it from this hit, excuse me. It's like a TV term for showing up on the air. For those who are new to the show,

he's said all the time. This hit was really, really bad for El Say it. It was an abomination. It's great for Jesse. There's more about Sharia law, government run, healthcare, all of it. But notice the attempt to reframe and distract you

from the actual answer he wants to give because if he shows it to you and you see it, your mind will change and he knows it. These crazy policies cannot possibly survive first contact with the real world. Don't chase the calm, folks. I know this all sounds chaotic and crazy, but chase the chaos and we'll win. Don't chase calm. All right.

All right. We'll be right back. So why do we call it Vonjino Report PM? Like, damn, what do you do? What do you think we are? Remember that, Jim? What do you think we are? Nerds?

Remember Rocky 4? That's your dad. I know. What do you think we are? No, I don't think you're nerds at all. Well, maybe nerds are a good thing. You know, nerds are kind of run the world, right? Maybe nerds in the era of AI and old development of sophisticated technology.

Maybe that's a compliment now being in there. I was kind of nerdy myself. we call it Bongino Report PM because I told you yesterday we had some more great news coming up about expanding our show and not just my show but the people who work here for my production company Silverlock we have Haley Cariniya we have Vince Colonase you hear him on the radio many of you on stations around the country we now have Sean Farrish you're hearing on stations with us at the Bonino Report PM he covers the first hour I cover four to six p.m. Well we call the Bonino report PM because there was always going to be

at Bonino Report AM. So I told you we had an announcement and that came out today. So thank you to Westwood One for expanding our content on stations across the country. Bonino Report AM is going to be launching in just a couple of weeks. Five a.m. to six a.m. nationwide, drive time, morning, drive time afternoon. We are expanding rapidly. And for those of you who reached out to me, they said, Dan, don't be a knucklehead. Someone did actually. put a station finder on your website bungeino.com we're working on it the problem is with a good problem to have is we're signing so many contracts so fast and so many stations i just don't want to do it until we have a bigger footprint because it's just going to require an update by the second so we are

going to get to the station finder we had one up for the radio show last time but i do appreciate your feedback folks today's show today's show is going to be one for the ages man um i've got a bunch of stuff for you that's going to seem totally unrelated. But I promise by the time you're done in this journey, we're going to go on for the next couple of hours, I promise I'm going to have tied it up in a bow and you're going to be like, yes, I get it. During yesterday's show, I said, the problem, the Democrat Socialists of America, which is really just the Democrat Party now because they just refuse, refuse to renounce these ideas.

You know, a couple of them have just said, you know, Hassan Piker's no good, but we don't want, even Hillary Clinton is now saying that the socialists are a healthy debate. There's nothing healthy about talking about socialism. Gulags, torture, terror, starvation, hundreds of millions of people's lives being destroyed, if not terminated. That's not a healthy debate, bro or sister in this case. see my sister. It's not a healthy debate. They don't want to renounce this. So I said a critical question you need to ask.

Your Democrat friends who've fallen for this going forward is does your policy survive first contact with the real world? If you see the results of the policy and have to feel it yourself, will it change your mind? I brought up the analogy of the pro-life movement that sometimes it's tough to look at and it's hard, but to change people's minds about what abortion is, they will show a picture of what an abortion looks like. Ladies and gentlemen, pro-abortion people go freaking crazy when those signs are up. They attack people, they shoot takedowns on them,

they got them wrestle to the ground, they tear up the signs, they clawed their faces, pee in their diapers, they call the cops on people if they don't have the First Amendment right to speak out for life. why do they do that? Why do they do that? The pro-aborts.

Why do they do that? Because when people see it, they likely will change their mind. Oh my gosh, that's what an abortion looks like. You're seeing this now everywhere, everywhere in the Democrat Socialist movement. Hey, man, we're from Medicare for All. And people who don't know what Medicare for All is

because they haven't seen it. I'm like, yeah, that sounds great, man. Government health care? Jim, it's a guarantee. I got health care from the government. Yeah, you got a lot of guarantees from the government. You had a guarantee, too, your Social Security be there. Now they're telling you things bankrupt by 2032.

There's a lot of guarantees, the government. It was just interesting. The only guarantee they give you shall not be infringed. That's the only one they challenge. That's not what it really means. Folks, you have to ask yourself again, but this Medicare for all stuff that sounds great in theory, When you actually see it, like I've done for you on my show and my podcast, when you see it,

what does it really do? Oh, it cancels your employer-based health care or your market health care plan you have now that you may, you may really like it. It cancels it? I didn't want to see that. What do you think we are, nerds? What do you think we're going to look? I didn't want to see that.

I just thought it meant like fairies were going to start singing and unicorns were going to pop out and everybody was going to get. The best access to the best health care and it was going to be no rationing. And that's what I thought. Why didn't think you're going to cancel my insurance. Well, now you know. Remember this critical question.

If you see it, will it change your mind? And is that why the modern Democrat Party is running from every single policy position out there? I'm going to tie this. Jim really liked this when we were going through it earlier in the show. He did. He's laughing, but it was an unintentional connection that made its way into today's show.

I watched a three-part documentary about the Charlie Manson murders and the Manson family. You may say, what in the Hades does that have to do with, if you see it, will it change your mind? Because folks, one of the tools the Democrats use, just like members of a cult, to get people to do absolutely insane evil things, even murder in cults and elsewhere, even suicide, killing themselves, the Kool-Aid. is they have to isolate them from the real world. They don't want you to see the real world. They're going to tell you the race war is coming like Manson did. The apocalypse is coming. The comet's going to wipe us all out.

If you go into the real world and you connect to the internet and actually look it up, you're going to be like, that guy's full of... We can do the... We can't say the word. Yeah, right. Okay. I'm just checking. I'm just checking.

I hate FCC rules. But you're your diaper's full of... It's just, so Charlie Manson kept a bunch of people on a ranch away from reality. Because if they saw reality, it would change their mind. This is the modern Democrat Party. I warned you about this. I've warned you, I've, people, don't give the Democrats' point. I'm not giving the Democrats pointers.

Are you crazy? I'm a conservative activist myself. I'm trying to save the country from, Lenin, Stalin, and fascism. You don't give these people a leg in and go, well, we just, it'll just help us in this election. No, you, you, you, you have to wipe this ideology out. No matter where it surfaces.

Folks, they hide from you everything. And now they're freaking out because the Democrats realize that this pernicious, disgusting, communist, Islamo fanatic ideology, they led creep into their party. And they were like, oh, it's no big deal. We'll use these people for any. quote to get back to vote and we'll you know we'll attack those crazy boomers who actually experienced communism and won't worry the concrete won't dry it'll dissipate well now the concrete's

hardened and now the freakouts begin we haven't done that a while you got to do that Jim you can see it on the iPad you got to do that the Soviet salute for those of you listen to my older radio show in the 12 to 3 spot you know exactly where we're going of course that's the Soviet national Anthem, that's the new Democrat Party. They're now freaking out when even liberal media hosts like Wolf Blitzer at CNN, this guy's no MAGA guy, okay, are now starting to call them out because now they're starting to get worried because they tried to hide it. They didn't want you to see what the Democrat socialists really want, defund the police,

empty the prisons, fentanyl use everywhere, open the borders, confiscatory taxation, no more school choice, government-run health care, canceling your employer health care plan you bargain for. They don't want you to see it. Now that it's out there, CNN and others are in full-blown redline 9,000 RPM panic mode. Jim, cue up for me, cut one. This is Democrat leader on the House side. Hakeem Jeffries, just a total failure of a human being. This guy to know what he's doing. For as much as I can't stand, Nancy Pelosi and her ideology and her trillions. And her trading and stock and all this other crap and all the destruction to the Republic. At least she had better control over our own caucus.

This guy, I got to tell you, folks, he's just an idiot. He is just an idiot. Here he is on CNN. He's confronted by Wolf Blitzer. Like, hey, man, we ever going to call these people out like by name? We got a real problem. And watch Jeffries get all upset about it. He gives the same answer I just gave about the full of.

You don't know what he says. Sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. Check this out. The notion that people should be targeted. because of their religious beliefs or ethnicity or race, whatever the case may be, that's fundamentally inconsistent with who we are in this country. Yes, indeed. Hassan Pikes clout among Democrats, though, particularly some younger Democratic voters,

seems to be growing. We saw, for example, there's prominence in the Michigan Senate Democratic primary. So why not call them out by name in your statement if you feel so passionately about this issue? I've just addressed Hassan Piker's comments as it relates to the Jewish community as forcefully as I can, and I will continue to do that. He's just, these guys don't know what to do. All they had to do is do what the Republican movement did at the beginning of this primary cycle. It's very simple. You want to run under our brand, correct ours, all of us, not me.

I don't own the Republican Party, the conservative movement, the MAGA movement. I don't own it. I'm a small piece of it. If you want to run under our brand, like the Democrats do running in this cycle, and you want to bring people in your tent into your brand, into your store, into your club, into your bar,

well, there's going to be pictures of people taken in that bar who, if they're really bad people, they're going to make, why did you allow this serial murder or whatever in your bar? They're not in their own bar. They're not running as independence. They're running under your brand. Jeffrey's now, oh yeah, that guy's bad.

Well, what about the socialists who were bad? We cut the infection out early and said, you can say what you like, as long as you don't break the law and threaten people's lives, say whatever you like. But that's not our brand. Our brand is pretty clear. Economic growth, school choice, the Second Amendment, pro-life, secure borders, crushing crime. That's our brand.

Strong national defense. It's not hard. You don't have to like the brand, run into your own brand. Jim, start the wigs. Start wigs number two. Whigs the sequel. Wigs Part Deux. Just start Wigs Part D.EUX. Just start Wigs part D.

No one's stopping you. Star Wigs part D. You don't want to. You want our voters, our activists, our voter lists, all the stuff we built and spent money on and time and sweat equity. We cleaned our mess up. The Democrats can't do it. They're trying to hide it because they don't want you to see it. because if you saw it just like the Manson family,

if they got off the ranch and lived off the ranch with their families, they probably would have been told that is crazy. They don't want to get off the ranch. They don't want to get off the ranch. Jeffries just wants to hide all this, Hakeem, Jeffrey, so after the election, again, the critical question. If you see it, will it change your mind?

Great job here by Carolyn Downey on CNN. I want to play this cut before the break. This is Caroline Downey on CNN saying the exact same thing. Like, why don't they want to talk about Medicare for all, what it actually is outside of the talking points? Why don't they want to talk about it? The same reason the pro-abortion people don't want you to see the abortion sign because once you look at what's under the hood,

you're like, I don't want that car. That's a jalopy. Good job by Caroline Downey on CNN. Check this out. They may be better off just simply attacking him if you're going to attack him on the policies. on the economic compatibility of what he's putting on the table with what people in Michigan want, rather than saying, oh, he's going to change our culture.

What does that even mean? Well, two points. That network has more independent viewers than you think, and those clips are going to circulate on social media. And it was quite clarifying, I think, to, it will be, to a lot of people, that he could not give simple answers to questions about the culture of war. He conflated circumcision with sex changes for children. So now it's good to know that he's on the 20% of an 80-20 issue nationally. But if you want to talk economics, fine, let's talk economics, which that network has talked about extensively as well.

His biggest economic goal is Medicare for All, also known as single-payer health care, also known as nationalizing health care. He doesn't want to talk about El Sayed about how that would require taxing the middle class. That seems to defeat the whole championing of the working class mantra, don't you think? He doesn't talk about how that would kick off many millions of Americans off their private or employment. sponsored health care and the majority of Americans polling says like their health care. So why doesn't he want to address that? Why doesn't he want to address it? Thank you, Caroline Downey, brilliant.

Because when you see it, Medicare for All, when you see it, Jeffreys and others, no, Al-Sahed and others, it will change your mind. Before we hit the break, rest in peace to an amazing American. Dolly Parton, just tragic news yesterday. Godspeed in the second creation, Miss Dolly. It was a life well lived. We'll be right back. Bon Gino. With Dan Bongino.

So I'm sitting here before the show and producer Jim and I are going through, you know, regular checks, you know, mic checks, everything work. I see Jim in the Dallas studio through the iPad. can you see, can you hear? You know, pretty typical stuff for radio, right? And Jim's like, you mic check. And yes, that silence is deliberate. Seven seconds, it'll kick on to a best of.

He can't stay sad. But he's like, Dan, that means you need to talk. Like, sorry, man. I was a little bit distracted for a second. Poor guy. I love producer Jim, though. He's been with me so long now. I feel like we've been through a lot of battles together, man, you know?

Yes, we have. Right? My gosh. So last night, folks, I'm doing, I do usually do a couple of Fox hits a week, hits or appearances. Again, we call them hits. But I do a couple hits a week, sometimes on Ingram, sometimes on Will Kane, sometimes Jesse, Hannity. You know, you move around a bit. And depending on what the news of the week is and what hosts is hot on what.

And last night, I was on Jesse Waters show. And I got to tell you, in the 15 years I've been doing hits on Fox, last night was one of my top five favorites of all time. Number one, I just love talking about the horrors of socialism because it's such an easy topic for me to discuss because I just, having grown up in New York and lived in Maryland, you know, Democrat socialist capitals of the known universe, you know, you see the suck up close.

Like you can't hide the suck. Like the suck is like the sucking vortex. of sucky socialism sucks you in like the most powerful black hole. There's not even an event horizon. It's like the second the black hole exists, you don't even have to touch the event, it just sucks the whole universe. That's how sucky the suck of socialism is.

And when you grow up around it in 1980s New York City, pre-Rudy Giuliani, where like it sucks so bad you just accepted the suck. You just thought the suck was normal. you thought everybody lived like this i i mean the first trip i ever took on a plane was in the secret service academy no yeah i was like 25 or 26 years old we traveled up to boston to crane and company that was the first time i never left new york i drove to new jersey to see my grandmother in eat in eatin town a couple times but that was in well my parents showed you got squeegee men used to come up to

your car like spit on your window you're like what's a squeegee man ask a chat gp t or something been anywhere then you'd have to give the money. People's cars got stolen so often that your car insurance for one year was almost the cost of the car because it was like there was no way to use an actuary to figure out how dangerous it was in socialist Ed Koch, David Dinkins, New York. Because your car was guaranteed to get stolen. Jim, was it not? It was it? I can vouch. Remember the club? They had this device called the club. You'd put on the steering wheel. And then they figured out, ways to defeat the club. So they had the cap over the club to anti-defeet, the anti-defeat defeat mechanism. It was so bad. It was my car got stolen. I should know. My car, no, my backpack

got stolen from my car. They ripped out the thing, but didn't get the car. I was in college at the time. And then they found my backpack, this kid, Nolan, on the next street. New York and Maryland are like socialism epicenters of the universe. If you're listening up us on WMAL and Maryland radio, you know exactly what I'm talking about, right? We just accepted it. So that's why when I go on Fox and they're like, hey, the topic today is going to be the DSA and socialism, I'm like, yes. So last night, I just went off. I was probably the longest hit I've done in prime time ever.

They're usually the four to six minutes max. That thing went on forever. I think I started talking at 810 and I'm in the studio van outside my house. And I look up, it's like 820. I'm like, man, this thing's going. on but I was loving every second of it. One of the things I brought up is that we should never, ever in the Republican Party, ever, try to take the easy path out of politics. I forget, Jesse asked a good question. I've seen this online. The gist of the question was something like,

you know, the Democrats are promised in free health care, free college, you know, rent control, free back rubs, whatever the hell there. Everything's free to them. And how do you compete with something like that? And I said to Jesse, the answer is, is you have to do the hard work. Like the easy path is to try to out Democrat and out socialist to socialist and be like, well, we're going to offer even more free stuff. And I said that Jesse reminds me of the movie something about Mary. No, not that scene.

Like I said, you remember everybody remembers this scene, right? Not that one. That's not hair gel. That's not hair gel. He should have known that. That's not hair gel. She should have known that. I'm talking about the other seed about seven minute abs.

Seven minute abs, for those of you don't know, was that video? It was like an infomercial thing. Look, you'll get washboard abs in seven minutes. Folks, it's not realistic. I'm sure some people in seven minutes will get seven minute abs with great genetics. You have to like work and alter your diet and strength train and cardio. It's not going to happen in seven minutes. But it reminds me of socialism.

They promise stuff they know when isn't going to happen because it sounds good. Seven minute abs. abs. Jim's like, I can get abs in seven minute. Yeah, seven minute abs. There's this breed of Republicans who don't want us to tell the truth about socialism and warn people about the dangers who want us to play this game and out-socialist, the socialist. They want us to be the six-minute abs, guys. Seven-minute abs. For those of you seem to see and see, you know exactly where I'm going with this. I'm going to sell some called six-minute hours. Wow, I cut a minute off. That's crazy. so good.

Folks, it doesn't work. Never run on six minute abs. Because the Democrats are going to come back with five minute abs and you're just going to get crushed. It becomes an increasing set of ridiculous absurd promises

that will never be met that will destroy all of your political, all of your political credibility. Ronald Reagan, who was a great messenger, understood clearly that you have to tell people, People, folks, people are smart.

Do not to Republicans running out there who question this. I promise you, the people who show up and vote are overall very smart. They don't want to be talked to like kids. They know there's no such thing as free stuff. If you tell them the penalty for, quote, free stuff, like, for instance, free health care, let's put meat on the bug. Hey, okay, like, I'm a Republican. I'm going to run the right way, not the easy way.

Here's how you answer this quote. How do we combat Democrats offers of free health care? It's very simply, you say, okay, well, one, free health care isn't free. You're going to pay an exorbitant amount of taxes upwards of $40 trillion over 10 years, $4 trillion per year. We're already in debt, $40 trillion. However, even if you're not concerned with that, here's what you should be concerned about. How do you feel about the health care plan you're on now?

I like it. It's not too bad. I give it like a maybe one thumbs up at it too. Okay. You want to cancel? No, no, I don't want to cancel. Oh, you don't want to cancel it. Jim, it's the first text for my seven-minute abscine L-L-L-L.

You're damn right. That's what this. You have to tell them like seven minute apps doesn't work. You may get a work every. You have to tell them like this stuff doesn't work. Your health care plan you have now is going to be canceled. Ronald Reagan did this great. Most dangerous words in the English language.

I'm from the government. I'm here to help. He didn't candy asses way around it. He told people the truth. Just like Trump tells tells them the truth all the time. That's why the message resonates. There were not two figures in modern times that have transformed the Republican Party more than Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.

They just aren't. Regardless of your feelings about either one of those people, there is no disputing that fact. You make the case, you know, FDR and Obama did the same thing for the Democrats. I don't mean that in a good way. I don't think there were two modern presidents. Well, semi-modern, an FDR's case, but have done more to destroy the country than those two, expanding government. But there's no question that they were transformative for all the wrong reasons.

President Trump and Reagan transforming it for the right reasons. They've just been honest to people but stop. The warning out there is pretty simple. Do not try six minute abs. It is not our thing. That is not our brand. Our brand is telling people

why this country is great, how it got here, and the penalties for believing in things like seven minute abs and free stuff. I love free healthcare. Yeah, you an auto worker, UAW and Michigan. You know, we're on all over the country.

now between the mornings and the afternoon. You understand that the health insurance plan you bargained for, you forfeited maybe a 10% salary hike. Maybe you settled for three to four in exchange for a really solid strong health care plan for you and your family. Maybe your kid's sick. God forbid. Maybe your kid has lymphoma. I had lymphoma. Limphoma. Jim, two thumbs down on Yelp. It sucks. It's also really expensive. Chemo, radiation, all that crap you got to go through is really expensive. Maybe your kid got sick and you bargain for this plan. How do you feel now that all that stuff you bargain for, forfeiting salary hikes or bigger salary hikes, is now going to get chucked out the window to jam you into some government plan where you're going to have to call Joey Bag of Donuts,

the bureaucrat and HHS is going to go, uh, John Smith, you, A, W guy. Yeah, my kid's got lymphoma. I want to send them to, um, MD Anderson. Great, great, great, great university. Hat tip. They took care of me. Did the most amazing job. Premier cancer hospital in the country. I want to send my kid to MD Anderson. It's a complicated cancer. No, no. No, no, you can't go there. Well, who says?

Well, I say, I'm Joey Bag of Donuts, bureaucrat, HHS. No, no, no, I get to say. I'm an American saying, no, no, you don't. No, you don't. You chose health care for all, and health care for all means decisions for none. Here's where you're going to go. You're going to go to D.M. Flanderson, D.M. Flanderson, who the hell's that?

It's a guy who got, he lost his medical license six years ago. And he said, no, no, but he's, but he's, but he's, He's got availability. I don't want to go to DM Flanderson. I don't want to go there, man. Hey, you signed up for health care for all, which means decisions for none. You forfeited your health care, right?

Now, listen, I'm not telling you free market, free enterprise, employer-based insurance has all the answers either. There are times you get that very same answer. I'm not here to smoke you up. You call up your insurance company, I want to go to MD Anderson. Nah, no, no.

Here's P.B. Sanderson. No, no, no. Here's the difference. I'm not telling you that's ideal either. The difference is you can cancel your insurance plan, get another one. Or you can maybe take a reduction in benefits and at least they'll pay for something. The government, you got no choice, man. You see what it's like when you don't do six-minute abs and you tell people the hard truth?

They're smart. Don't discredit voters if you're running as a kind of old-school swampy republic. We got no message to run on. We got no message. You can take that. Roll it in a ball. Jim's like, be careful. This is the, this is not the podcast.

Roll it at a ball. We have to be careful. I said this on the air. This is like hardcore P1 material. And we actually described the insertion, let's just say. And it did not go well. We were apparently advised, Jim, correct? That there are words you can say like ass and elsewhere.

But you cannot say them in combined with other words. Like shovel without an out. You can't say that. I did not know that at the time. We found out the hard. hard way. So, but you can take it, roll it in a ball and shovel it, right? Jim, you can shovel, shovel, shovel, right? Shovel. You get to, everybody. Like snow. Like snow. Like snow. Like, I was gonna, I was just about to go there too. I can't. Folks, we have substance to run on.

I promise you. The commies do not. I'm going to prove it to you right now. The Democrats, as I've asked you over the last couple days in the radio show and the podcast and elsewhere. By the way, if you want to ever check out the podcast live, rumble.com slash Bongino. We're live every day 10 a.m. join the chat. We'd love to have you there. We'd love to have you on radio too. I ask the question, if you see, and the Democrats are honest about what they're telling you, if you see their policies, will it change your mind? If the Democrats, in other words, told you the truth about government health care for everyone, that they're going to cancel your plan, will it survive first contact with you? And the answer is typically no. The difference with the

Republicans running on the Trump administration's results is we actually run on what we did. We're not hiding anything. We're out there. We're like bragging about it. Hey, here's what we did. I'll prove it to you. There is a post on X by Rod D. Martin. I think I follow. I'm pretty sure I follow him. This thing went crazy on X yesterday. It was everywhere. It's a long post. And maybe that's the purpose of this. It's titled Trump's top 25 achievements, the list every conservative should no one use. It's 25 things that happened, not that we're hiding, that we're running on. We don't have to go look for a message. The president gave you a message. Here, I'll just read a couple. I can't read. Go during the break. Go and check it out yourself. Number one, he made the

border real border again. Number three, signed the Lake and Riley. I'm skipping ahead because there's 25. I don't have time. He signed the Lake and Riley Act. Required detention to criminal legal aliens. Four, history's biggest drop in violent crime, lowest violent crime rate in 100. 26 years, secured 18 trillion and announced investment commitments, shifted global energy dominance from the Persian Gulf to Gulf of America, forced NATO to stop freeloading and increased defense spending by 250%. That's 21. Ladies and gentlemen, I only read blah, one, two, three, four, five, six, there's 19 more to go. Don't do six minute abs. Do the real world. You want abs? You got to do the hard work. Here's the catch. The president already did the hard work for you, run it. All you got to

do is go and look. We'll be right back. Bonjino with Dan Bonjino. You know, this is one of those rare moments in the show where even though I have my lineup done, my pre-production done, did the podcast earlier at 10 a.m. this morning. So I have a general idea of where I want to go with the show. I have so much to say I'm not really sure what the tip of the spear is first. So let me, I'll just take a shot at it. First, and Jim, keep me on track here.

First, I want to just do a quick salute to our military because something happened this morning. I saw something. I just thought of something. And they don't hear it enough. They don't hear it. However much you think you can salute honor our military, it's not enough. And something happened this morning made me think of that. But second, there's going to be a theme throughout today's show.

And I'm not trying to be slick or smart about it. I'm not, not at all. But I've been watching, like many of you, because it's a fascinating take on not just the law, but our culture, our, you know, our legal system in general, this Lindsay Clancy trial, a murder trial about the mother and the children. Many of you know the case. And there's something I've, I saw on a,

you ever see the movie A Few Good Men, you know, the Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise movie. What's the famous? You can't handle the dream. Yes, yes, thank you, Jim. I'm joined. Like I had a neuronal, dendrites nodes of rain via meltdown here.

You can't handle the truth. But there's a better line in that movie. No, yes, there is. There's an amazing line in that movie that applies to criminal trials, that applies to the legal system, that applies to politics, and that applies to basically life in general. And there's a line in the movie where Tom Cruise plays the lawyer,

defending these guys, where, again, the facts aren't in this. dispute like the Clancy case. They're not disputing the fact that the woman killed their children. No one's disputing the facts. That's the same premise of the movie, a few good men. They're not disputing the fact that this, this Marine was attacked in his bed and died. They're trying to dispute, like, the motive for legal reasons.

So Tom Cruise says to Demi Moore, the other lawyer, and was at Kevin Pollock, he says, listen, you're making a big mistake. his father was a lawyer, he's in the movie, his, my father told me it's not about guilt or innocence, it's finding someone to blame. And I'm telling you that that line has resonated with me through decades. Because it, for as much as it pains me to say this,

that very same rule applies to politics to. And the liberals have just mastered it. Socialists have just mastered this skill, and Republicans are hesitant to do it because they think for some reason that there's something unethical about it. Well, you know, blame game.

You probably been, if you're a good conservative with good values instilled in you by your parents, you were probably told, you know, don't blame other people, take responsibility. And yes, in your individual life, that's correct. But collectively, as a people in this great country we call the United States, we have problems we have to solve every day or attempt to solve. In education crisis, the cost of living, the money supply, university education getting expensive, health care costs.

Like, these are legitimate problems and difficulties. And the instinct is good conservative Republicans is to not want to blame and just kind of went, take the bull by the horns to steal a worn out cliche. The Democrats understand the Tom Cruise psychology from that movie, though, that people aren't looking for guilt or innocence, looking for someone to blame. That's where socialism candidly excels. Whatever problem you have, rich people did it. the white man did it or systemic discrimination did it even if the system in systemic discrimination

is run by socialists like brandon johnson in chicago mom donnie in new york gavin newsome right jim like systemic discriminations they're they're the system but they don't care because they know the human impulse it's it's just foible we all of us we can be included we can't get rid of it when we there's an issue we need someone to blame for it social social have mastered this. It's why this idea infection called communism and socialism has survived for basically over 100 years now because it just takes advantage of basic human psychology that you've got to find someone to buy it. The facts are not in dispute. Healthcare is sometimes inaccessible to people. There are issues with insurance companies, government health care

costs. These facts are not in dispute, correct? Democrat or Republican, we both agree. Inflation's been a persistent problem, Democrats, Republicans, the government debts, a lot of problems. Those are not in dispute, correct? Nobody's disputing those are facts. So what's the issue? The issue is, who do you blame? And Republicans don't want to do it. And I got to think in this.

We're going to see this throughout the show today. Throughout the show today. Do this journey we're going to take over the next two hours. You're going to see this pop up over and over and over again, how the Democrats and the socialist constantly beat us at this game. And I thought about it in terms of this trial. Regardless of the outcome, the facts are not in dispute.

All you're hearing people argue about is who's the blame. With the mom, no, she's not to blame. She had postpartum psychosis. Then the other people who had the other side. Well, she has to blame. She had options. She could have done it. She didn't have killed herself,

but not killed the kids, but didn't do that. It's not an argument over facts. It's an argument over who to blame. Because they know they're talking to a jury full of people. And people, that is how us as human beings. That's how we think. I'm going to get to more of this throughout the show today and tell you how it inconveniently is seeped into our system

through a number of psychological manipulation operations that have now been exposed. Ladies and gentlemen, everything I warned you about over the last six months that I've been back on the air, and the last, you know, week or two, we've been back on radio. Everything I've told you about is now being revealed. I'm getting hundreds of communications through X and Facebook,

TikTok, emails from people who have our old email account. I'm getting a ton of these from people who are saying to me, Dan, you weren't kidding. When you warned this when you came out, be careful where you get your information. This looks like an op. If it looks like an op, walks like an op and smells like an op, it's an op.

Forget the duck. everything I told you is now being revealed. I'm the same person I've been the whole time, folks, despite the black pill op and also up to destroy anyone in the Trump administration for your own mercenary reasons. None of it worked. You swung, you missed. The show's just expanding everywhere.

It's because people know I'm the same guy always was. Everything I told you is now coming true. Let me get to that in a second, but I don't want to forget this military salute. I'm in the office this morning putting together the show, and I had a whole idea of where I wanted to go with. with this. And I thought to myself, you know, government screws up everything. It just does. Government has no incentive to do anything right because it's not their money and they're not even spending it on themselves. They're taking your money and spending it on other people,

the Milton Friedman cost quality problem, right? The one thing government does do right, however, that you would think there would be a consensus with the Democrats is when the right people are in charge. I want to be the right government, i.e. the Trump administration, not the Biden administration, who could, you know, screw up making ice, is when you get a good public safety, national security focus president, President Trump does the military right, law enforcement right, and then the board is right. The facts speak for themselves. And ladies and gentlemen, the greatness of our military, I was going to cover a story, and I'll get to it at some point. Bloomberg, not Michael Bloomberg, but Bloomberg, the outlet, eponymously named that.

outfit. The media outlet doesn't like President Trump at all. They put out this article and ex post basically acknowledging that the straight is now effectively dominated by the United States. Now that that can't be, right? That can't be. You were told by left wing media that President Trump was brought to his knees by the death to America Iranians. They were like cheering and on like barking seals. Yeah, man. Yeah, it was great. But now it's starting to look at like everything you've been told wasn't up again, probably paid for by foreign overseas money to get you to believe that the United States sucks to vote against its interests. And the Iranians that somehow defeated us in the strait.

But even Bloomberg's like, there's oil flowing in the strait. We own, we own the straight now. And you know why we own the street? Because when you get a president in charge who cares about our nation's safety, our borders, public safety, and our military, our military kicks ass and takes names. And it takes the names and throw them in the garbage. We dominate our military, our Navy, our Marines, our Air Force, Army, our Coast Guard, our Space Force. We dominate.

And there's a group of people out there in foreign countries that want you to believe the United States military sucks. So you lose confidence in this country and it gets rotted from the inside out like a freaking cancer on the body politic, not happening. So that story was already in the show about how the United States for months now has been taking back to, and all this talk of Iranian minds in the straight, there were some. But the estimates were there were about 11. We were told they were upwards of 200 to maybe close to 1,000. You know what they were? They were garbage bags meant to look like mines.

And then we got rid of the 11 mines. Wait, I thought we were getting our asses kicked by the Iranians. The left-wing media told you that. You know what? The podcast today is called like, it must have killed them to write this. You know how much it must have killed Bloomberg to have to put that into an article and tweet that, yeah, you know what President Trump said about the straight was right? As I'm putting that into the show this morning, I look up on TV in my office here, and I have it on mute.

And I'm watching Fox and Friends, and Steve Ducey is doing a tour of the military academies. He was at West Point. And man, you see these young men and women just like tip top shape, incredibly articulate on camera. Some of these folks have never done an interview in media. in their entire lives. They were on camera. Bang, bang, bang. Folks, I've had guests on shows I did when I was at Fox.

Guys who were 50, 60 years old with a body of life experience, you put them on camera, they totally choke. I wish Guy was in here. Guy remembers one of them. I'm not even going to say who, but when I had my show on Fox unfiltered, there was just one guy. We'd ask him for like, hey, man, what, you know, what do you know about this subject? And he sent over all these great things, like talking points.

He got on camera, the guy totally froze. You put these military people in Westport. on camera bang bang bang bang done done that yes yes geese you heard that he just popped out of the you remember right the guy totally choked the guy choked and he yeah i know you'll never forget i remember that you remember jim the guy meanwhile you put these 19 year old military studs out there on camera they're like yes this is what's going down we don't salute our military enough We don't salute our military enough. You have this ongoing unpredictable kinetic action in Iran.

It's unpredictable by nature. War is always unpredictable. You're not the Stygian witches. You don't one can predict what the enemy is going to do. Give me the eye. That's not the way it works. You get a plan. You adjust a plan.

They had an attack plan. The Iranians tried to pull a fast one in the straight. And our amazing military comprised of some of those people you saw this morning on TV on Fox and Friends at West Point. They're like, oh, yeah, you want to play ball? We'll play ball, Mother. Can we say that, Jim, on the air? I'm pretty sure we can't.

We cannot. We cannot, right. I think, I'm pretty sure that's definitely one of the restricted words. Mothers, we can do this. The military's like, you got a plan, Iranian death to America, Mollos, we got a plan too. It's our straight now.

How's that sound? You know, President Trump said last week, I think I'll call it an American terrorist. the straight suit media was like ha remember that jim that's so crazy really who's laughing now who's laughing now that's due to our military these men and women for what they get paid nothing peanuts you go to west point you have to be super smart i know you know that these guys could go and become software engineers AI developers for a million dollars in stock options a year no they serve you they go and they kick ass and take names and i watched that this morning and i thought to myself

you should get up every morning and thank God that people are willing to serve so that we can go out and drink pumpkin spice lattes and whatever you drink. You can't thank these men and women enough. I'm going to tell you on this show, you are always on the, if there's a pedestal, you're on it. You and the law enforcement folks. I'll never forget being an instructor in our Secret Service Academy. I always picked a military guy to be the class president for the class I was teaching.

always because they just get it i'm going to tell you something i'll close with this nobody can compare with the military in making a good man great like the military nobody can make a bad man good they just become bad they're just they say nobody nobody not academia not sports nothing nobody excels in making a good man great like a military no one we'll be right back Bonino
