Vote early and in person. The fact that people know that I'm trying
Starting point is 00:00:43 to not just talk but get people to do matters the snapshots in the soundbites don't matter if we don't show up they got to motivate you to do you've got to go out and vote early voting is still going on you have an opportunity in the many states to get out there in person folks you don't vote I'm sorry this show is not for you so what happened yesterday I'm sitting home the show is not for you. So what happened yesterday? I'm sitting home, the show is done, I had put it all together, and I'm sitting up in this little like office area. I like to kind of chill in at night because it's dark, but who really gives a shit about what I'm doing at night?
Starting point is 00:01:15 I like, you know, I got to fall asleep and stuff like that, get those melatonin levels up. And a friend of mine texts me and says, you're never going to believe it. He says, Donald Trump took all of our advice and showed up in Wisconsin with a garbage truck with a Trump sign aside. I said, yes, yes, there it is. There it is. Why does this matter? Because for the umpteenth time, what wins political campaigns?
Starting point is 00:01:43 Those shows and so, but how many times are we going to say this? Over and over. Who gets snapshots and soundbites? The Trump team. Who doesn't get it? The Kamala Harris team. Folks, this is just brilliant. This is just what they do. They have now... What's that? The left can't meme. He says the left can't, they can't meme. They don't know how to make something punch optically, seeing it, or the auditory. They don't know how to do it. This kind of stuff is how you win a news cycle. You can laugh at it all you want on the dumbass communist media left.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Laugh all you want. If you lose this thing, you will be crying on election day specifically because of things like this. And you've got your snapshots, you've got your soundbites. Rule number one of politics, right? I've given you all the rules.
Starting point is 00:02:36 You have the Dan Bongino handbook. I promise you will analyze the political situation better than anyone. It's how I called the 2016 election. Before it happened, go back and listen. The other thing you need to understand, why I feel good, good, but not great about the election, good, is because of contrast.
Starting point is 00:02:57 This is a one versus two, an A versus B. You can be an okay candidate running against an awful candidate, and you can be an okay candidate running against an awful candidate and you look like an amazing candidate. If it's good versus good candidate, you may have a problem. The contrast in styles between the absolutely hapless, not funny, socially inept Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, who just never seems to get caught in an awkward moment
Starting point is 00:03:24 and even when he does, he makes it funny and not awkward is just night and day. Fox ran a compilation yesterday, I think it was on the five of awkward Kamala Harris moments. She is just freaking cringe folks. She is cringey bad. Here's Donald Trump telling a story about how backstage he thought he should take the vest off, the sanitation vest, the orange vest, because he thought it may be awkward. And then he turns it into a Donald Trump moment.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I was gonna cut this a little shorter. Guy made a call, he's like, Dan, I think you should leave the minute in 20. I was gonna cut it about 59. He said, the whole thing is funny. Folks, you need to see this. This is why Donald Trump is coasting into Election Day. I believe. I don't know what you say. I feel like we're in really good shape. Here's why. Watch this.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And then I got in the car and I'm driving over here and I have this still on and I come into the arena and I'm driving over here and I have this still on and I come into the arena And I say where's my jacket? I want to get out of this thing and They said it would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage I said, no way. I got 25,000 people standing outside. I got all these people here. There's no way I'm wearing it on stage. They said, oh, okay, sir.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I said, get me my jacket. But if you did, you know, it actually makes you look thinner. I said, And they got me. I said, I want to wear it on stage. When they said I looked thinner, I said, In that case, I'll wear it on stage. I'll wear it on stage.
Starting point is 00:05:32 I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go... I may go in the... I said that. That was my... That was the word. That was the key. Sir, you look thinner. So, anyways... I got it! Folks, you in the chat, you get you. You get what I'm talking about? More in a minute. But first, hey, you know, those weight loss injections, everybody's talking about them dramatic results. But here's the problem. Nobody really knows the long term effects. They're super expensive. And you got to give yourself injections all the time. So I love my friends at Brickhouse Nutrition. They create a supplement I use.

Starting point is 00:06:58 that would make someone with a low social IQ feel out of place and awkward. What do I do in the vest? What do I do at McDonald's? What do I do McDonald's? And he's just funny. I don't know how to describe it. People have been trying to describe market and bottle charisma for centuries. How many times I got to say the French have a word for it, the Genesee Kwa, which basically means, I don't know, nobody knows what it is. You just know it when you see it. The old line about porn, right? What is porn?
Starting point is 00:07:29 I don't know, but I know when I see it. Oh, you know, charisma is the same way. He's just funny. He's just funny. You have to be likable. Kamala is just really, really bad at this. She has no ability to make people comfortable with her at all. This is why I don't buy a lot of this so Trumpy, you know, the mean tweets and all that stuff. It's kind of offset by Trump at the rallies where he's just funny.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Now, okay, I'm trying to make a solid case to you, to the chagrin of some on Twitter is that we are in good but not great shape. I always give you the good and the bad. The good news, folks, the early voting numbers I'm going to get to in a minute are only getting uglier for the Democrats. The bad news, they could still surprise us a little bit on election day. They could. The chances of that are getting smaller as we start racking up the votes, kids. Remember, polls, who gives a shit about polls anymore? It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:08:36 The only polls I care about are early voting. Polls don't mean squat. I'll give you an example. You want a 500 person poll out of Pennsylvania or a 300,000 person sample size of who shows up. Oh, okay. I'll take the poll. Thank you. Me too. The numbers are savagely brutal for the Democrats, but make no mistake, they could still surprise us. It's not doomer stuff. It's meant to motivate you to get out there by telling you the truth. But here's some really, really good piece of good news to dispute the whole Dumer narrative,
Starting point is 00:09:13 which is nonsense. But you know, I get it. Produce your work, show your work, right? Here's Harry Antoinette at CNN. I play this guy a lot. I think he's been an honest voice over there. Here he is with some really, really bad news for Kamala Harris. Folks, this is the number that should stick in your craw most of all.
Starting point is 00:09:34 No incumbent, no incumbent has won a presidential election with a sense of malaise, right direction, wrong direction for the country like we have now with this number. It's never happened. It's never happened. Don't listen to me. This is on CNN. Check this out. Just 28% of Americans, voters, think the country is going in the right direction, is on the right track, and I want you to put that into a historical perspective for you. Okay, what's the average percentage of the public that thinks that the country is on the right track. And I want you to put that into a historical perspective for you. Okay, what's the average percentage of the public that thinks that the country is on
Starting point is 00:10:09 the right track when the incumbent party loses? It's 25%. That 25% looks an awful bit like that 28% up there. It doesn't look anything, anything, like this 42% doesn't look anything like this 28%. So the bottom line is, very few Americans think the country is on the right track at this particular point. It tracks much more with when the incumbent party loses than with it wins. In fact, I went back through history. There isn't a single time in which 28% of the American public thinks the country is going on the right track,
Starting point is 00:10:39 in which the incumbent party actually won. They always lose when just 28% of the country believes that the country is on the right track. Again, folks, produce your work, right? Anyone with a show and a Twitter platform can open their Yapper, their freaking soup cooler and say whatever, oh, we're gonna win. Oh, we're gonna lose. We're gonna win big.
Starting point is 00:10:59 We're gonna lose big. It's a red wave. It's not a red wave. It's a blue wave. Abortion, women are voting. Men are voting. Show your work. I'm going to show you numbers coming up here in a second. But the right track, wrong track poll, those numbers are accurate. There is not a single incumbent or vice president who has ever won with a wrong track number like that wrong track, right track number and ever.
Starting point is 00:11:25 You can't have this many people dissatisfied. Now the problem Kamala Harris is having is she has been unable to detach herself from the trappings of the Biden and Harris administration. She's been unable to say, hey, Joe Biden did this, but I didn't agree with it. She keeps going on TV saying, well, Joe Biden did this, but I didn't agree with it. She keeps going on TV saying, well, there's nothing come to mind. Nothing comes to mind that I would change from Joe Biden. Well, Kamala, 60, 70% of America thinks that sucks. You really believe on election day, you're going to get a mass break of Democrats. It still means you got to show up folks. And you got to bring 10 people.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I'm just afraid. I am deathly afraid of a lack of enthusiasm. Please tell me I'm wrong. Folks, this shows for you in the chat. Please. I'm just trying to read the chat. Please tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm panicking. I'd love to hear it. Because I always say panic kills. Because in my last line of work, you panic, you probably die. That's why we always say don't don't shit the bed, right? That was our line in the Secret Service. Don't ever shit the bed. They obviously didn't mean it physically. It meant don't panic. I just want to seal the deal. And I am deathly afraid that if people hear this, hey, man, look, we're so ahead We're way ahead that they may vote but they're not gonna bring their ten friends and one more thing folks
Starting point is 00:12:52 I don't only want to win. I Want to I'm correct. Thank you. I'm not who just said that you're not wrong. Okay, black rifle 2a Oh, there you go. That sounds like my kind of dude right there. Well, maybe a woman. Yes I'm not I just I want this to be a landslide. I want this to be a statement. I want us to win the popular vote. I want us to win one swing state they didn't expect. I want us to compete in New Jersey and Virginia.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I want the Democrats on November 6th, I want this thing called by midnight by sane people and I want the Democrats the next day to say What the f- just happened? Listen, I want to get off track. I don't want to get off track, but listen to me. One of the greatest days of my life politically, you know outside of wedding childbirth and personal stuff One of the greatest days of my life. I childbirth and personal stuff. One of the greatest days of my life, I was working at CRTV, election night 2016.
Starting point is 00:13:48 No one thought Trump was gonna win, nobody. I got into this verbal back and forth with Dan Horowitz, who's a very good friend of mine, smart guy, was he insisted to me Trump was gonna lose. He'll tell you the story himself. I said, Dave, I'm telling you, I've been knocking on doors. I was running for Congress myself, I lost the primary. I said, Dave, I'm telling you, I've been knocking on doors. I was running for Congress myself. I lost the primary.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I said, Trump is going to win this thing. You're making a big mistake. I was on the air that night for probably four hours at CRTV when live streaming was a new thing with Michelle Malkin. Folks walk in out of that studio. We were in Washington, DC and looking at the despondent faces on Hillary Clinton supporters
Starting point is 00:14:26 who made the golden rule mistake. What's the best punch in the world? The one you never see coming. They didn't see it coming folks. They were walking around DC and you know what the moment was for me. Sorry, stupid. Can you tell me to shut up? I go back to the hotel in DC. It was full of Hillary Clinton supporters. When I left the hotel that night to do the coverage, they had CNN on in the lobby. They had CNN, this big massive screen,
Starting point is 00:14:50 all the Hillary people were in the lobby, and I remember seeing Pete Hegseth from Fox, we were all kinda looking at each other like, we'll see what happens. I come back that night, the lobby's full of Trump supporters screaming, they've got Fox News on, and it was not a single Hillary Clinton supporter anywhere.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Ladies and gentlemen, I want that feeling again. I don't know how long I have on this earth. I'm not, I'm fine, I don't wanna sound, but I don't, you don't either. I'd like to enjoy it a thousand more times, but I wanna enjoy it once more. I need that. I know you need it too. We have been through a lot in the last four years. Scamming, cheating, censorship, accounts canceled,
Starting point is 00:15:34 people wiping parlor off the map, wiping Twitter accounts off the map, canceling our YouTube stations. We have been through a bad three and a half years. We all need this. We need this. If that alone isn't reason for you to get out and vote and bring 10 people, we just need this. I don't know what is. The Dan Bongino Show. If you'd like to hear more,
