I didn't really think there was a need to buy gold, so I didn't recommend it. That all changed. The inflation, skyrocketing national debt, global chaos, more money printing, the election coming up, all the ramifications I told you about. I've been buying gold from

Message and data rates apply. All right, fellas, let's go. Okay, so just quickly, right before we came on the air today, breaking news.
Starting point is 00:02:42 right before we came on the air today. Breaking news. Now five Secret Service agents have been put on administrative leave after the Butler County, Pennsylvania murder and assassination site happened. Folks, the first question a lot of you in the chat are probably asking is what? What the hell took so long? Holy Moses, man. Your job was to protect this guy and keep alive. He got shot in the head.
Starting point is 00:03:08 A month later, people are finally put on leave. Guys, you know, having been a police officer before being in the Secret Service, I was NYPD, then Secret Service. I've seen how law enforcement is handled from two different perspectives. I'm not telling you the NYPD doesn't screw stuff up. My gosh, they screw up a lot of stuff. The management over there, the cops are great. I love you.
Starting point is 00:03:32 However, when you get in a shooting on the job, even if you're not at fault at all, it's what we call a justifiable use of force, right? Guy pulls a gun, shoots a few people, you take them out, justifiable use of force. right? Guy pulls a gun, shoots a few people, you take them out, justifiable use of force. You're still put on leave. What the hell were these agents still working for? If one of them was incapable of doing the site
Starting point is 00:03:57 securely enough, the site agent, so that Donald Trump wouldn't get shot in the head and Corey Comparatore wouldn't get murdered and two other people wouldn't get shot in the head and Cory Comparatore wouldn't get murdered and two other people wouldn't get shot. Why were they still on protection? Now, apparently one of them is from the Donald Trump detail. I will bet that's because of pressure from yesterday's show and Susan Crabtree's article
Starting point is 00:04:16 before it was just the Pittsburgh office. But I'm going to ask you a question. Folks, I'm not letting this go. And we'll be discussing this Monday during the special podcast Anita and everyone get the word out Monday two-hour special podcast 10 a.m eastern to noon up in DC Chip Roy Andy Biggs Corey Mills Matt Gates all the ringers on my show we're gonna be getting all of this and I want this question answered. If the guy running the Secret Service now, Ron Rowe, the director who got a promotion out of this, we now know from multiple whistleblowers, he was the guy who stopped certain security assets from being used with the Donald Trump detail. That decision alone led to what happened.
Starting point is 00:05:08 How is he not, how does he still have a job? Everybody else is on leave but him? Folks, this is total bullshit. This is total bullshit. By the way, I know the sack of the Pittsburgh field office. He's a good guy. I don't let my personal relationships get involved here, and I won't. I've known him for a long time.
Starting point is 00:05:28 But someone's got to be held responsible. But how the hell do you suspend this guy or put him on administrative leave? And the director still would. Not only it gets a promotion, despite making the decisions that led to this. Folks, it's freaking obscene. It is typical of how the government works because they answer to no one. Oh, they answer to taxpayers, not the bureaucracy.
Starting point is 00:05:53 They do whatever the hell they want. Absolutely disgraceful. I've got a couple other things to talk about I'm going to get to in a second. Yesterday, there was a big, big incident that happened. A guy, he was arrested. He was apparently a threat. I'm going to explain to you how this really works and why.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Just stay tuned. But I want to get to last night quick. The DNC. Let me give you the bluff, the bottom line up front, okay? Last night, again, was not terrible. Folks, I get it. I'm trying to view this. Here's what I don't want.
Starting point is 00:06:31 This is my biggest fear, and I need you to understand. Please, please, I'm begging you. Do not do to them what they do to us, where they underestimate us, and we constantly sneak up on them and kick them into political nuts, okay? Trump has no chance of winning. Trump, don't do it, because then you'll be surprised and you'll get kicked in the nuts.
Starting point is 00:06:53 You've got to look at this objectively or you're never going to know how to respond. Monday was a disaster. Tuesday with the Obamas, a lot better. Wednesday, a total disaster. Clinton was a mess. Tim Walz was all over the place. Gina Raimondo, the Commerce Secretary, didn't even know what the BLS was. The jobs numbers revision downward came out. Last night, Kamala Harris spoke. She only spoke for 37
Starting point is 00:07:19 minutes. The speech wasn't terrible. If you're a Democrat, of course we know she was bullshitting and lying, and I'm going to get to that. But it wasn't terrible. One of the reasons, too, that they're going to get a big audience out of this, and believe me, they're going to be advertising this. Watch, when the ratings come out today, they're going to be like,
Starting point is 00:07:38 Kamala Harris' speech blows Donald Trump's out of the water. It's all a scam. You know why? The Democrats, what did we say yesterday? Lie to you about everything. No, no, everything. Everything's a lie. The PP hoax, the jobs numbers,
Starting point is 00:07:56 the quid pro quo phone call, everything's a lie. The Charlottesville hoax, everything is a lie. So all day yesterday, to make sure Kamala Harris wasn't speaking In front of an empty crowd Because I don't think many people were looking forward to this And they were afraid
Starting point is 00:08:14 I think people were going to bail To make sure she had a packed audience And it looked like Hope E. Changey again All day, did you hear this? Evita texted me, Michael, yesterday Me and Paula were sitting in the sauna. She's like, Dan, I hear Taylor Swift is going to be there. I responded, LOL.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Like, I heard this. I knew it was bullshit. I didn't want to say anything. But I shouldn't say I knew. I mean, no one, like, said he should. But I had a feeling they were smoking everyone up. They were like, Taylor Swift, Beyonce. Why did they do that?
Starting point is 00:08:43 Why didn't the Harris campaign just come out and say, hey, we do respect these two entertainers, we love them, but that's because they knew they would have no audience. So all day they teased it. Here's what is it, CNN even admitting the whole thing was bullshit. Check this out. Anticipation here and elsewhere that there may be a special guest. I am told by Democrats that Kamala Harris was their guest.
Starting point is 00:09:06 They did not want a celebrity at the end of this convention to essentially compete with her. One senior advisor telling me this is a deadly, serious election. Oh, nonsense. Ladies and gentlemen, this was absolutely 100% intentional. Who loves Taylor Swift and Beyonce? Young people. Michael just said it.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Evita stayed up watching it. She covered it on her show and all that stuff, waiting for this to happen because it would be newsworthy. That was the scam. That's exactly what they wanted. Folks, they knew the entire time. They knew the entire time. When I was at the RNC, there was a room.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I had heard about Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan. If you go back and watch the show, you'll see in advance I was talking to Laura Trump. And I say I heard about some people. I had also heard about maybe Elon. But then Elon put out a thing. No, we're not speaking there tonight. Why didn't Taylor Swift and Beyonce do the same thing? Because it's all
Starting point is 00:10:05 a scam. Everything they do is bullshit. Everything. Here's Kamala Harris last night. They've still got this problem, folks. She cannot run on what they actually did for the last four years. So she's running on hope and change, but she can never tell you hope and change from what change from her. They can't, they don't know what to do. So they've settled on a message. This was, I'm not going to, I'm playing you one short clip. That's it. Because the 37 minutes, there was no policy to talk about. It was all bullshit all. oh, look, I'm one of you. She's not one of you. She's never had an actual job. She's not one of you.
Starting point is 00:10:51 In her professional adult life, she has never had a real job, ever. She's not one of you, so I'm not going to waste your time. There's nothing to talk about because she said nothing. Hopey, changey, an opportunity to come. It's all bullshit.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Here she is, though. They settled on a message. It's not AI. They're now going to blame you. There's a short clip, and I want you to listen to it, where she's like, basically, all you stupid Americans out there complaining about everything all the time. She doesn't say it in those exact words, but make no mistake.
Starting point is 00:11:26 This is going to be their message going forward forward because there's nothing else they can say. Hope and change from what? Listen to this. Talking about anyone tell you who you are. You showed them who you are. You already showed us for the last four years. Can you go to the Wall Street Journal thing
Starting point is 00:11:56 for the next clip? I know we're a little bit out of order. She's already showed us. Do you believe this bullshit? This is going to be her message. Her message is going to be, you all are complaining about what I did, you crazy people,
Starting point is 00:12:11 so now I'm going to tell you who I really am despite the fact that you already saw who I was and you're complaining about it. You just heard it. That's not AI, man. That's their message. She's running on joy. Joy, here.
Starting point is 00:12:33 You ever see Ren and Stimpy? Can you see that? Here. You ever see, we're going to keep this up here today. Maybe in honor. Here we go. There's Stimpson, J.Cat, and Ren Hoke. There.
Starting point is 00:12:47 This is what they're running on. They're running on the Ren and Stimpy agenda. Happy, happy, joy, joy, joy. Because they can't tell you what joy means. Inflation. Open here. Happy, happy, joy, joy, joy. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:13:05 I had enough of these two. What else are they going to run on? What is joy? Runaway inflation? Fake jobs numbers? Open borders? Chaos in the streets? What the hell is joy?
Starting point is 00:13:21 The answer is it's nothing. Because when you start digging into what joy meant, and Kamala Harris, my mother said, you tell them who you are. This is who she is, Wall Street Journal. I heard Richard Fowler, one of the dumbest guys on TV. I mean, I've never seen a guy who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room
Starting point is 00:13:42 say so much dumb stuff. I hear him on Fox this morning. Well, it sounds like... This was his actual defense, not verbatim, but you can watch it yourself if you think I'm making this up. He's debating Will Kane, and of course, Will just destroys him.
Starting point is 00:13:56 And he's like, well, Richard, Kamala's been the vice president for three years, and his defense is like, well, Kamala can't actually do anything. They literally ran on that kamala was the last person in the room before biden does anything she is also the president of the senate granted typically that doesn't mean anything but when you have 50 50 or 51 49 which most of the time they had and you're issuing tie-breaking votes all the
Starting point is 00:14:26 time, being the president of the Senate is probably the second most powerful position in government. Does Fowler not know this? Why are these people so stupid? Kamala Harris single-handedly changed the American economy for the worse with her exact vote. Her, not Biden's, hers. Casey Mulligan, Wall Street Journal. Always receipts, folks. Every freaking day with receipts. Much of America's inflation since 2020 has resulted from one word, yay.
Starting point is 00:15:02 That's what Vice President Harris said twice, breaking Senate ties to advance the American Rescue Plan. That was the porculous bill and the Inflation Production Act of 2022. These laws didn't reduce inflation, they caused it. Again, Richard, I know playing dumb is kind of like your drill, but I don't get this.
Starting point is 00:15:28 So Fowler's thing is Kamala Harris is impotent and stupid, and even though she's the last person in the room and is the president of a 50-50 Senate at one point, right? Just to be clear, his stake is she's still too stupid to do anything? They can't run on anything. Happy, happy, happy, happy. This is what they're running on. Freaking morons.
Starting point is 00:16:01 And people are going to believe this? and people are going to believe this? Folks, they have not put a single thing of substance out there. Asterisk. And the things they have put out there, they're already running away from. They put one economic proposal out there I've seen. The economic proposal they put out there was a massive tax hike accompanied by price controls.
Starting point is 00:16:31 And then when even left-wingers started pointing out that price controls are a communist tactic that have led to starvation and shortages, because if companies can't make money, they don't produce anything, Kamala Harris' team ran away from it saying, no, no, not really price controls, just like emergency price gouging like they do in states,
Starting point is 00:16:50 which is not what they originally said. How bad is this for them? They'll get a slight bump after last night. They will. The speech for Democrats was not terrible. Why? Because Democrats love to be lied to. They will. The speech for Democrats was not terrible. Why? Because Democrats love to be lied to. They just do. Everything these people say is bullshit and Kamala Harris effectively lied.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But they're going to have a problem going forward. Their best day was yesterday. I promise you their best day was yesterday. Kamala Harris is as awful a candidate as you think with an even worse record than you think. Here's a CNN panel saying exactly that. Like, hey, man, they were kind of light on any like specifics and stuff like that. That's over now. Check this out. She wasn't clear enough on the on the policies. She did speak a lot of her personal history on her personal history, which was great.
Starting point is 00:17:45 But I still don't feel like she's ready. I feel like more so she should wait. I don't want to per se vote for someone that is a backup. Folks. Oh, Dan, you know, you shouldn't be playing Fox news panels. Republican voters like that's not that's a CNN panel. I have no idea what that guy's party is. No idea at all.
Starting point is 00:18:21 I can tell you right now, if you're listening on audio, he happens to be black, which I don't give a rat's ass about, but Democrats are obsessed with. And Democrats keep telling us that they've got a monopoly over black voters. Not that gentleman. He seems pretty smart. He seems pretty smart. He seems to see right through all this bullshit. So I'm not buying the liberal bullshit argument
Starting point is 00:18:42 that we should treat black people like freaking robots who can't think for themselves you want to be a racist pig slob and say ah you know that hispanics and blacks they all think alike you're then you're in the democrat party because you're not in my party because we treat people like individuals and maybe that's why that guy's like you know these republicans talk to me like i'm a human being, like I'm not really buying this Kamala Harris thing. She hasn't actually said anything. Maybe you treating black voters like robots is starting to work against you.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Folks, the convention overall, if I'm a Democrat, which I'm not, they're trying to view it objectively, I give them a B. I give them a B. I give him a B. Obviously, if you're a sane person, it's an F. But I'm just telling you, if you're a Democrat that likes being lied to, you're a diehard. Not that guy. But you're a diehard Democrat who likes being lied to.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Last night was perfect. Status quo. More inflation, more open borders, more crime, all of it. All right, I'm going to take a quick break and I'm going to help you out a lot here. You know, I've been hard on the Secret Service, but something happened yesterday and I have to give you some perspective. And sorry, folks, but I'm not going to take any lectures on this unless you've done it yourself. What happened yesterday is not unusual. Maybe it should be after he got shot in the head. Granted. And I'm just telling you how it's been done in
Starting point is 00:20:11 the past. Maybe they should change that. Quick break. You having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Listen, I've been there a lot.

And as I say all the time, the truth doesn't have an agenda. It's just the truth. People have agendas. I have an agenda. My agenda is
Starting point is 00:21:35 conservatism. And sometimes conservatism, you know, people speak the truth about it. Sometimes they don't. However, this happened yesterday. So Donald Trump was down at the border visiting an area Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will likely never see in their entire lives as they run away from the border and allow the invasion to continue and pretend it's not happening. And they run on joy. Happy, happy, joy, joy, joy. This is their whole thing. This is it. They will never tell you anything about anything of substance ever.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Happy, happy, joy, joy. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Is that their campaign name? That's the DNC. That's the whole... Thank you, guys.
Starting point is 00:22:18 That's the whole DNC right there. That's the entire... If you were smoking weed watching it it it was even a thousand times but don't do drugs drugs are bad do not do drugs i'm just saying if you're a democrat and you were smoking weed watching it was probably the greatest convention ever don't you think fellas it was like yeah you're like spicoli from fast times at richmond high you're like Spicoli from Fast Times at Richmont High. You're like, bro, this is great, bro. What's great? What's great?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Can you explain to me what they're going to do at the border, what their exact plan? Bro, joy, baby. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Can you explain to me what they're going to do about marginal tax rates and their effect on productivity and investment, especially capital investment in the United States? You know, wholesale costs are...
Starting point is 00:23:07 Bro, he's right. No, first it's joy. That's joy, bro. But it's definitely racist that you asked the question. That's it. This is their whole policy. This is their whole policy. Here was Trump yesterday.
Starting point is 00:23:21 So he's at the border. And this threat comes over from this individual, Ronald Servad, who is allegedly threats against Donald Trump. And let me just play the clip. And here they're asking him, like, hey, man, you're basically out here in the open. You've got this guy running around that law enforcement is saying is a serious threat to you. How do you feel about it? And Donald Trump said this. Check this out.
Starting point is 00:23:50 There was a manhunt going on in this county. It's pretty big death threats to you. Did you hear about that before coming? And what are your thoughts coming down here? Some people told me it's dangerous for you to be here. I've heard it's dangerous, but I also have a job to do. I heard it's very dangerous. I haven't heard about that that they probably want to keep it from me thank you for telling me let's get out of here right now number one uh donald trump again is the king of the soundbite i don't want to get off track here but i can't tell you enough snapshots and soundbites donald trump is just a natural in front of the camera because he's been there his whole life he's the only guy i know fellas tell me, tell me if I'm wrong, especially you, because you could be a harsh judge or something. The guy got shot in the head a month ago. No, I mean, he actually got shot in the head.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Clipped his ear. I mean, he didn't, like, take his ear, but he was shot in the head. No one wants to try that, correct? Eh, I'll just clip my ear, 5'5", 6' round, traveling at thousands of feet per second. He was shot in the head it's a month it's not 10 years later he not only is out in public again totally exposed in the open but he's joking about it's just you may not like some of his speeches i get it some of them i understand there is nobody better at the back and forth than this guy
Starting point is 00:25:16 he's laughing about this it's amazing and there's a guy out there who again according to law enforcement is a serious threat to his life. And nobody knew where he is. Been locked up now. We can dump that tweet next. I sent it yesterday. But they were looking for this guy in Cochise County. They found him, okay?
Starting point is 00:25:34 I got this from a lot of people. If this segment makes you mad, I'm sorry. But again, I owe you the truth. Let me just get it out there. Folks, this is not uncommon at all. I did this for 12 years. When I say it's not uncommon, a bunch of people sent me that clip,
Starting point is 00:25:49 friends of mine too, and I love you. Thank you for sending. I don't expect you to know how the Secret Service works like this. But they were like, this is an unbelievable failure. How do you not tell Donald Trump? I'm not telling you they shouldn't have, period. Okay, end of that statement.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Given everything that happened, yes, they probably should have. They probably should have told them. I'm just telling you in the past, I've done advances, a lot of them. I mean a lot, a lot, hundreds. Lead advances, foreign advances, advance in a war zone in Afghanistan. And folks, we rarely tell the president about a threat, rarely, unless there's something imminent. And there's a reason for it.
Starting point is 00:26:35 You're not going to like it. And that's why I was hesitant to do this, but I owe you the truth. The reason is the president, Democrat or Republican, it's not a partisan thing. He's got a thousand things on his plate. If you were ever on a trip with the president i mean in the bubble you have no idea how many people are up this guy's caboose every can you do this you do that everyone from the chief of staff to the mill aid you got to go say hello this guy you're going to pin a purple heart on that guy
Starting point is 00:26:58 this is the ambassador his name's joey bag of donuts you're going to do this um this is that uh law enforcement officer who died. This is the mom. The name is Antoinette or something. There's, you don't, Mr. President, there's a guy who wants to kill you. I'm going to tell you why you don't do it. Again, I'm going to read the chat in a second
Starting point is 00:27:18 because I want to see your thoughts. One of the reasons they don't do it is because the president's first question every time is going to be like, well, am I like going to die now? No. Okay, so why are you telling me this? There are thousands of people across the country.
Starting point is 00:27:35 This is not a secret. I'm not letting that. That the Secret Service is monitoring for threatening these people. Thousands in every district. They use a system to grade people for the level of threat. Thousands of these exist. In New York alone, there's probably a file like this. Imagine sitting down with the president going,
Starting point is 00:27:59 this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy. Now, having said that, I'm just telling, don't kill the messenger. I'm just telling you they've done it. Granted, the guy was just shot in the head and is standing out there in the open. And the media had already picked up the story. So at this point, yes, it's probably a bit of an F up, if you know what I mean, to not tell the president, hey, just FYI, in case you see this on the media, we're looking for this guy. We feel like we've got this site locked down.
Starting point is 00:28:30 It happens. The cops are on it. A mistake. But I'm not going to tell you that they tell the president about every single threat. They just don't. Okay, moving on. That's all I had to say about it. They put out bolos and I just owe you the truth.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I want to get to this RFK thing. You know how I know this thing is a hot story? My brother, Jim, he's a union electrician up in New York. Shout out to the local three guys. You do amazing work, man. My brother, Jim, who, you know, he's my brother. So we talk, obviously. But we don't talk all the time because he's an electrician.

He texts me yesterday, dude, what's going on with RFK? I'm going to tell you what I think is going on. I'm going to tell you how I think it changes the race. I'm going to tell you how I think it helps Trump. Dan, now you're a hypocrite. You said that RFK voters aren't going to. Yes. That was when Biden was in the race. Things have changed. I think this marginally helps Donald Trump.

Starting point is 00:32:17 it's your job to spread the word you guys are the front line lieutenants and captains in the bongino army rocking the shirt today if you one, you pick it up at the website. All of our proceeds head all over to charity. Monday, Monday special. It's going to be live from D.C. Corey Mills, Matt Gates, Chip Roy, Andy Biggs. You're going to see all the ringers there. We'll be on the podcast two hours.
Starting point is 00:32:40 We're going to break down every single thing to do with this secret service, massive failure. And we're going to try to get some answers on Monday. Don't miss the show. It's going to be, it's going to be a banger. So don't miss it. Okay. The RFK thing, what's going on with RFK? Everybody's saying, is RFK going to drop out today? I'm going to tell you with almost 100% certainty, RFK is not, did I not call it? I told you Michelle Obama was not going to be the nominee. Ding. I told you Joe Biden wasn't going to be the nominee. Did I not? Did I not? That's for you guys. Did I not? Yes. Thank you, Michael. I could play the clips, but it would be stupid because I can just say it and you know, the listeners know. They are not going to finish
Starting point is 00:33:22 this race. It's very simple. They just don't have the money. Campaigns cost money. I told you this when I told you Biden was going to drop out. What did I tell you? I've been part of so many presidential campaigns when I was a Secret Service agent. It costs money. You've got to take planes to go campaign.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Forget about ads and everything else. They cost money. You think RFK is coming out of his own pocket? They're running out of money. He's not going to make it. He ran a spirited campaign. I thought he should have been entitled to speak on the Democrat side. They locked him out.
Starting point is 00:34:01 The Democrats gave him the middle finger. And I got to tell you, the guy ran a spirited campaign. I don't agree with all his policy stances. He is, you know, he definitely leans left, if not way left on some stuff. But he ran a decent campaign. But he's not going to stay in. Is he going to drop out today? I can tell you with almost certainty, it looks like it, okay?
Starting point is 00:34:21 Is it going to shake things up? First, let me play this. This was a clip from the other day. This is his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, who, you know, they did a decent job. Here she is the other day on a podcast talking about a potential unity agenda. Big question, I think, is are they going to endorse Donald Trump or not? Check this out. You made some big news today talking about the Kennedy Shanahan ticket. Does it stay in the race, Nicole? What are your thoughts on that? You know, it's Bobby's decision. I came into this supporting him wholeheartedly
Starting point is 00:34:53 to win this election. And I have to say there's only one party that has obstructed a fair election for us. And unfortunately, it was the Democratic Party. They've done everything they can, including creating PACs to prevent us from being able to have ballot access. Folks. This has to be one of the most ironic twists in modern political history. I mean it. I'm not intended., this is not intended as an exaggeration for effect or impact. The ironic twist is this. RFK, if they Democrats,
Starting point is 00:35:34 people are forgetting, he wanted to get in the Democratic primary. Well, the Democrat primary, nothing's Democratic about it. You guys remember that? It was the Democrats that blocked him out. And Nicole Shannon said, no, you're not getting in our primaries and did everything they could to stop him. So what does he do? He starts running and gets on the ballot independently under different
Starting point is 00:35:55 lines in different states. The Democrats realize they've got a problem. And one of the greatest twists ever, if he drops today, which I think is likely, and he endorses Donald Trump, which I hope, this will be one of the most amazing twists in political history that if the Democrats would have let him run, he would not have won the Democrat primary. Trust me, the establishment would have stopped him. If they can stop Bernie Sanders with his communist Bernie bros, they would have crushed RFK. RFK had no chance of winning the Democrat primary. RFK could have got a speaking spot at the DNC. He could have gone out and said, thank you for giving me a shot. You know, even Nikki Haley.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Nikki Haley and Trump were like this. I'm not a huge Nikki Haley fan. She came out. She did the right thing. It's what you do when you run under a party banner. I'm part of this team. Go team, right? Imagine an RFK speech last night.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Say two spots or something before Kamala. Hey, RFK supporters, thank you. We're going for Kamala. Folks, I'm telling you right now, it would have been a big deal. In a race that's likely to be decided by a few votes in a few states, that would have been a big deal.
Starting point is 00:37:08 Instead, what did they do? They gave the triple barrel middle finger, okay, to RFK, and the Democrat, air quotes, party did the most undemocratic thing possible, and now they're paying the price because he may wind up endorsing Donald Trump. Here's Nicole Shanahan on her Twitter account. This is his running mate. His RFK is running me. My old Democrat buddies have been flooding me with frantic calls, texts and emails.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Unlike Roe, I wouldn't dream of airing those private conversations publicly. But the message is clear. They're terrified of us joining forces with Trump. When I point out what the Democratic Party and their super PACs have done to sabotage us, their response is always, but Trump is worse. Here's an idea, she notes. Stop suing us. Let us debate. Quit
Starting point is 00:37:55 rigging the media and the polls. It's a simple formula, people. Get with it. Folks, RFK endorses Trump. That's going to be a big deal. Now, let me explain why. A lot of you in the chat, I'm expecting because you guys are really ridiculously
Starting point is 00:38:11 smart and you remember everything. I'm giving you your own retort. You should be saying, Dan, you said RFK in the race hurts Biden more than Trump. I did. Who's in the race now? Yes, Kamala. So we've got a bit of a problem. Although RFK, I think still hurts Kamala Harris. A lot of people hated, they call them the double nose. Okay. Try to follow me, Michael, you're the ombudsman for this. This makes no sense. Stop me.
Starting point is 00:38:41 When it was Biden, Trump, you had a lot of double no's you just did people said no to Trump no to Biden and I don't know what they were going to do RFK was maybe their guy when Kamala Harris jumped in the percentage of no's on the Biden side went down because they see Kamala Harris as flawed but not as bad as Biden that percentage that was gettable by the RFK crowd went down because Harris got in and shrunk it. You get it? There were less no's. There are still some no's on the Trump side. Swampy
Starting point is 00:39:14 Republicans, Lincoln Project types, you know, goofballs like that, you know what I'm saying? Who just, they don't care. The David French's of the world. Those people are not really gettable. But some are. Those double no's are still there. Those people are not really gettable. But some are. Those double no's are still there. If RFK, they would have been with RFK before
Starting point is 00:39:30 and are now going to go with Donald Trump because of an endorsement, and some will. I think an endorsement obviously only helps Donald Trump. Here, RFK Jr. set to speak in Arizona hours before Trump as questions swirl around a possible alliance. Folks, my math is solid here. I'm using simple math. I'm telling you, Spock style.
Starting point is 00:39:54 I'm not a Star Trek guy. I was a Star Wars guy. Well, not like these guys here, over here. But whatevs, you know, you get the point. But you remember Spock? Your logic is sound. The percentage of no's that were gettable shrunk when Harris got in. We now can go grab them. Grab the double no's, the no's on the Trump
Starting point is 00:40:14 side. Folks, everything these people are telling you in this election is bullshit. Listen, I'm going to warn you right now. This is a serious segment coming up. I know, you know, a lot of humor. We laugh a lot. You and I have fun in the show. I hope it's enjoyable. It's edutainment, educational entertainment. Had to boogie down production.
Starting point is 00:40:36 But this is serious. They are, I'm telling you right now, and you can, flags in the chat, please, everywhere. Everyone, get the flags in the chat. Because remember this day and remember this moment. They are not going to put out a serious policy prescription proposal. They're not. Everybody keeps saying, oh, it's coming tomorrow. It's coming tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:40:57 It's coming tomorrow. They will not. Everything they've put out has been laughed at. Their price controls, their massive tax hikes. They keep running away from it she will never talk publicly about this however the kamala agenda if she wins folks is even worse than you can imagine although kamala will not talk publicly about her communist agenda other people are starting to leak out what she's going to do because they've got of the mouth.
Starting point is 00:41:30 They can't shut up. And the one guy who can never shut up, who you should be following is Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader for the Democrats. Schumer is notorious for the of the mouth. He cannot shut up. So he's out there at the DNC and Kim Strassel wrote about it in the Wall Street Journal.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Chuck Schumer shows his policy cards for 2025. He can't shut up. So they started asking him at this little gaggle out at the DNC. I forget where he was, the CNN grill or whatever.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Hey, man, like what's going to happen if you guys win the Senate, the House and Kamala Harris wins? She notes on a roll at this gaggle, Mr. Schumer explained that he'd work very hard to persuade his colleagues to nuke the filibuster and quote, we've got a damn good chance of getting that done. The only question these days, he said, is whether to do it only for big ticket items or for everything. No, the show didn't go dead. I'm taking a pregnant pause here for you to digest this for a second. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any idea how destructive this would be?
Starting point is 00:42:49 If they get charged, if they take charge of the House, remember, we just have a slim lead now, just a few votes. Not hard for them to do it. Say you don't execute, take 10 people with you. You decide stay home, I don't care,
Starting point is 00:43:05 I don't like Donald Trump's tweets. They win the House, they win the Senate. Say with just 51 votes, forget it, they only need 50. Tampon Tim would be the tiebreaker, just like Kamala Harris was. And Kamala Harris wins the presidency and they nuke the filibuster, meaning they will not need to pass the 60 vote
Starting point is 00:43:26 threshold in the Senate, they would just see, ladies and gentlemen, they would control everything. All of this crazy stuff Kamala Harris has told you about. You think Chuck Schumer said that without Kamala Harris knowing? All of the crazy stuff, your private health care, gone. Tax rates, through the roof. Border, forget it. You think the border's bad now? They're going to figure this. They're going to figure they've got two years until the Kamala Harris midterms, if they win,
Starting point is 00:43:56 to do everything they wanted to do, wiping out any voter integrity measures. Government health care everywhere. Public education just destroyed, school choice attacked, abortion on demand. All of this stuff is going to happen. Ladies and gentlemen, don't listen to me. Listen to the Democrats. You want to hear about crazy? They're already starting to crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Illegals automatically, amnesty for everyone. Here's some of the crazy stuff I guarantee you're going to see if they win. It is time to execute and bring 10 people with you. That is it. Cutesy time is over. Every member of the Bongino Army is your job. It's your task. Here's a segment from Fox.
Starting point is 00:44:55 It's quick. It's about 20 seconds. Oregon, deep blue Oregon. They're running a program now to buy illegals homes. You think I'm kidding? You think this isn't going to go national? You're out of your mind. Watch a taxpayer-funded group is offering thirty thousand dollars to new home buyers lauren you cannot apply if you're an american citizen what's with that why would an american citizen apply for a taxpayer-funded program to get thirty thousand dollars for a new home i mean it's wild you think I'm making this stuff up? You think that's not going to be on the agenda next? Paying off everybody's student loans with your money, stealing your money to give illegals education funds,
Starting point is 00:45:37 stealing your money to buy them new homes. You don't think that's going to be their national agenda when they nuke the filibuster? No, no, no, no, no. They're not crazy. They're even telling you just act normal for the next 70 days and then we can get crazy. How do I know? He's brilliant. He says, Dan, you got to play this for me again. They actually said it at the DNC. Here, we'll play this for you again. Check this out. Oh, all right. He's going to pull it up for you. I'm sorry. It was his idea. They actually said it. Good. I'll go to this. Put the Wall Street Journal thing up there.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Here, you want to see another thing coming your way? Folks, we, this show is the king of receipts. All I do all day is research because I love you and I'm not going to waste your time. They nuked the filibuster and Kamala Harris wins, which they're already talking about because they're ready to get crazy. They are ready to engage in a massive healthcare rationing program, massive. And they're already trying it out.
Starting point is 00:46:35 No, they're not, Dan. Read this Wall Street Journal, read it. This is an order, I'm sorry. It's called Hallelujah Transplant Test Reversal. So they want to do healthcare rationing because when the government controls healthcare, the first thing they do is rather than using a price system, because there's only pricing and rationing, right? That's it. You have free market pricing or rationing. There's no other way to allocate anything.
Starting point is 00:46:59 You want to sell whatever. Someone gave me a baseball card. You want to sell baseball cards. You can price it or you can ration them. That it socialists like rationing the problem with rationing is people lose out people lose out they have no shot because they're rationed so there's this test i don't want to make this i'll make this quick there's a blood test for people who get organ transplants they need this blood test they don't get the blood test. They'll die. Well, the government through their Center for Medicare Services thought the blood test was too expensive. So they started rationing them. Ladies and gentlemen, the only reason they stopped to read that, leave this on the screen a second. The only reason they stopped is there's an election
Starting point is 00:47:44 coming up and the word got out. That's it it but you're playing at my ear right now yeah oh hold on look read this right here the cms denied the reduced coverage was to cut medicare costs by rationing care but the american association of kidney patients policy chairman nailed the truth when he called the original coverage guidance, quote, a blunt instrument of cost control. Okay, this is in my ear. It's driving me a little crazy. Forget this clip.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Now it's making me nuts. No, now I don't want it because it's making me crazy. This, all right, play it. You got the clip? Play this clip. We got 70 days to act right, y'all. That's right. After 70 days, we can go back there and crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Right? That was just for game, because I know he did a lot of work on it. They are going to go back to getting crazy. You have some kind of specialty treatment paid for by Medicare, I can guarantee you with 100% certainty if Kamala Harris wins and the government fully takes over healthcare, they will be rationing
Starting point is 00:48:51 everything. They're doing it now. Imagine being a kidney transplant patient. Knowing you need this test to live. You're on Medicare and the government says, no, we're not. This happened. Look it up. I'm not making this up.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Do your own fact checks. Folks, everything they're telling you is bullshit. Everything. They are not going to cut middle class taxes. They're going to hike them. What the hell do you think the corporate tax is? The tax on business. Really dumb. Where do businesses get their money from? Customers?
Starting point is 00:49:32 So if the business has to pay more in taxes and has to meet a threshold to stay in business, where are they going to get the more money to pay the elevated tax rates from the customers? Why are you so freaking stupid, liberals? Here's another one. Hat tip, maize moor. They're lying to you about everything. They're full of shit. Which story is correct? Here's a quickie on the border. You're going to hear Alejandro Mayorkas, then Kamala Harris, then Joe Biden on the border. What are they running on? Is the border
Starting point is 00:50:10 secure like they said or not secure like they said or not secure but secure like they said, said, said? I don't know. They're full of shit. Watch this. The border is closed. The border is secure. The border is secure. The only reason the border is not secure
Starting point is 00:50:26 is Donald Trump. Folks, nothing they're telling you is real, man. It's all fake. I mean, how many receipts do I have to show you? They're going to nuke the filibuster. Believe me, you're screwed. Blue Oregon, $30,000, buy a legal home. Trust me, that's going national. They're rationing healthcare right now. You can read about it yourself. The border. The border's secure.
Starting point is 00:50:56 The border's secure. The border's not secure. We can see the border's not secure. Look at this gem yesterday, too. Remember we were told that from AOC And all the other geniuses out there Folks 12 years we're all going to die The earth's going to be like a matchstick
Starting point is 00:51:13 We're all going to burn up In toxic flames The Atlantic Ocean Guy is like a sauna like spa You jump in The Atlantic Ocean's 147 degrees. You guys remember that? We're all going to die in 12 years. No one can figure out
Starting point is 00:51:34 why the Atlantic Ocean is cooling. It records... It's a real article, man, from October... Excuse me, August 21st. No one can figure it out, folks. I thought the Atlantic Ocean was like a hot tub. We're all dying, dead fish everywhere.
Starting point is 00:51:51 No one can figure out. Maybe if you stop propagandizing and started doing actual science on the Atlantic Ocean, maybe you'd figure that out. Folks, everything they're telling you is bullshit. Everything. You may not like the Republican Party. Well, you and my audience, you do. But you got to understand, we're talking to a lot of people out there.
Starting point is 00:52:14 We're liberals who watch your show. I get their death threats. Let me just tell you for a second. I get it. You may not like some of our personalities. Listen, mine can be heated. So can Trump's at times. I get it.
Starting point is 00:52:26 But can we just acknowledge that everything we tell you, we actually believe? Secure borders, lower taxes. How do I know? Because we did it. And we're still running on it now. We don't have your problem. Constantly changing our minds, pretending we didn't do what we
Starting point is 00:52:41 did, running away. You notice Trump is running on the Trump record? Did you notice that? And Kamala Harris is running against Kamala Harris's record and the Biden-Harris thing. Don't you find that weird? Trump's running on Trump. Harris is running on not Harris. Nobody finds that weird?
Starting point is 00:52:59 Here, this clip from the DNC is fantastic. It's short, but I want you to listen again. This is what they say when the cameras are rolling, but it's not on like CNN or elsewhere. Here's a lady saying, we quote, have to unfuck the economy. It's your economy. Does she not realize Kamala Harris and Biden are in charge now? This is what's happening at their own convention.
Starting point is 00:53:21 That's what we need because we need to unfuck our economy. That's what we need because we need to unfuck our economy. We need to unfuck our economy. Unfuck our economy. Unfuck our economy. Unfuck our economy. I need turntables don't you think this is what I need can we make a song out of this Jim can you and Guy get on this this is just get DJ Justin can you get him on?
Starting point is 00:54:05 We need to unfuck our... This is the Democrats talking. Yes, she's correct. We do. Wait, wait. Don't go anywhere without watching this one. Here is CNN again
Starting point is 00:54:19 saying the quiet part out loud. This is great. We are forbidden to go into the weekend without planes. Here is CNN. I promise you, I'm not kidding. The truest thing you have ever heard on CNN. Here's Dana, Dana, whatever her name is, Bash,
Starting point is 00:54:35 saying, listen, Democrats are the party of low testosterone, beta male, incels, losers. And if you're like a man who hunts or shoots, takes care of his wife and kids, know uses like a chainsaw and stuff we're definitely not the party for you no i'm serious they actually said this cnn finally doing some journalism this is a real clip watch this but they are doing so in trying to put forward um male, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the testosterone-laden, gun-toting kind of guy
Starting point is 00:55:20 who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC. And then Michael's right. She goes on to be like, we have more like Tim Walls kind of men. Yes, yes, you do. You do. You do have men who like tampons and men's... Yeah, you...
Starting point is 00:55:37 Dana Bash, CNN, you should get a Pulitzer for that act of journalism. You are 100% correct. Be proud. If you have elevated testosterone, you like to hunt, you like Brazilian jiu-jitsu, you like boxing,
Starting point is 00:55:50 you like wrestling, you like the Iron Sheik and Hulk Hogan back in the day, then yes, we are definitely your party. The truest thing I promise you have ever heard on CNN. Man, what a week. Over 150,000 streamers. We were third in the United States yesterday in live streams. We almost beat MSNBC. Yes, we beat them the day before. But think about that. A billion dollar NBC enterprise and little old Dan Bongino in this tiny studio, at least for
Starting point is 00:56:19 now until we move out in a few months. And in this tiny studio with about a five person staff is routinely taking out MSNBC. It's the first time they beat us in a few months, then this tiny studio with about a five person staff is routinely taken out. MSNBC is first time they beat us in a long time yesterday.
