Folks, you are witnessing one of the greatest media scams in modern American history. And believe me, dude, that's saying a lot. After Spygate, the collusion hoax, the pee-pee hoax, the 51 former intelligence officials laptop hoax, the quid pro quo hoax. After the litany of hoaxes we've seen, the reinvention of Kamala Harris, despite not having actually reinvented anything, is one of the most incredible, and I don't mean that a good way media scams we have ever seen this is the same incompetent buffoon who had a 28 approval rating as vice president the worst by far in the history of polling and now all of a sudden they're like, oh, her approval rating is 40 plus percent.

And it's summed up by the shortest clip I think I'm ever going to play, but it's worth it. Here is tampon Tim Walls, right?
Starting point is 00:03:15 The vice presidential candidate under comrade Kamala, right? Here he is saying something so obvious to persons with even a 90 plus IQ that it's stunning the media has been able to pull this bullshit. Check this out. We can't afford, we can't afford four more years of this. No, we can't. We can't afford four more years of this. The four more years of what? We can't afford four more years of this. The four more years of what? Does he not realize the administration's called the Biden-Harris administration? Folks, listen.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I'm going to level with you, okay? I'm always incredibly honored you guys found this show to be your home. We were number one again yesterday on livestream by far, 164,000. Number two was 88,000. So you guys rock man love you guys but i'm gonna level with you there is a darn good chance we could still lose this thing the media is feverishly engaged in a bullshit propaganda campaign on every issue that matters to make sure you don't see the real Biden-Harris administration. Listen to me. Everything the media tells you is bullshit.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Everything. I'm going to go through and start with this one here. This is something you need to know because it directly impacts you. Folks, if the issue isn't discussed at a kitchen table somewhere, it's not going to impact the election. I'm sorry. People in Texas probably aren't worried about the Lake Okeechobee water issue in Florida unless they got a house here. If it's not being discussed at a kitchen table, it probably doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:04:56 One issue that's discussed at every kitchen table is crime. Because if you're getting your ass kicked you're getting mugged god forbid raped assaulted robbed on a subway that matters to you okay here is fusion kendallanian one of the most disgraceful figures in media a guy so embarrassing and humiliating on msnbc that how this guy still has a job after the endless promotion of the Russia hoax, a debunked fairy tale liberals tell themselves when they get out the lotion and do a little jerk in the basement. Okay. This is like a fairy tale. Ken Delaney was one of the lead proponents of the PP hoax and all this other stuff, a disgusting human being here. He is again, trying to save Kamala Harris. It's
Starting point is 00:05:42 just one example of what I'm talking about. Everything they're telling you right now is bullshit. On crime numbers, everybody knows crime isn't down, but if you listen to the Kandalanian, freaking Joe Biden's like the Lone Ranger. Check this out. We're also following breaking news this morning. Just moments ago, the FBI released a new report showing the national crime rate decreased in 2023.
Starting point is 00:06:05 NBC's Kandalanian is with us this morning. Ken, good morning. Break down what this report says. Good morning, Jose. This report is entitled Crime in the Nation. It's the FBI's best estimate of what happened last year in terms of crime, and it shows a significant decrease. Violent crime decreased an estimated 3% last year, according to the FBI. Murder and manslaughter came down an estimated 11.6%. That's the biggest drop in the last 20 years.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Aggravated assault down 2.8%. And here's what's also important to know about this, Jose, because there's been a lot of criticism of FBI crime data. This data covered 94% of the U.S. population. And while it's true that not all crimes are reported, all murders are counted. Okay, folks, this is bullshit. Your boy Dan Bongino is here to give you an election guide.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I need you to spread this to your friends, okay? Everyone who lives in a big liberal city knows crime is not down. There are videos out there. There are anecdotes. There's data. Now, if you live in a suburban area run by a conservative sheriff like I do, yes, crime is not exploding around here because the sheriff's not going to let it happen. However, if you live in a liberal city run by Biden-Harris type prosecutors, crime is not down. by Biden-Harris type prosecutors.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Crime is not down. Let me tell you where Fusion Ken Delanian, one of the biggest fraudsters and hoaxsters in the media, a clown. Let me tell you why he's telling you this and the little scam he's pulling. And unlike Delanian, we have receipts to back it up. There's a Wall Street Journal opinion piece by Jeffrey Anderson.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Contrary to media myth, U.S. urban crime rates are up. There's a Wall Street Journal opinion piece by Jeffrey Anderson. Contrary to media myth, U.S. urban crime rates are up. So folks, the FBI statistics are bullshit. Why? Because they don't account for people who don't report crimes. But when you go and ask people in the National Crime Victim Survey, the NCVS, are you a victim of a crime? They note that there is no statistically significant evidence that violent crime or property crime is dropping in America. Let me read that again, D-bag Ken. There is no statistically significant evidence that violent crime or property crime is dropping in America. Excluding simple assault, the type of violent crime least likely to be charged as a felony, the violent crime rate in 2023 was
Starting point is 00:08:27 19% higher than in 2019, the last year before the defund the police movement. But crime hasn't risen equally across the nation. The recent crime spike has been concentrated in urban areas. Run by who? Run by who? Yes, that's right, Libby's.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Is it bad enough yet, folks? It's the new t-shirt before the election. Is it bad enough in urban areas that some of them start to flip in the direction of Republicans? I guess we'll see in 40 days, won't we? There's another part to this. Why these numbers are absolute bullshit. He goes to a number of points. You can read them all.
Starting point is 00:09:03 This is the fifth one. I'm just going to give you two, the first one and the fifth one. The Crime Victim Survey captures crimes whether reported to police or not. In 2023, the Crime Victim Survey, crime victims conveyed that a majority, 55% of violent victimizations weren't even reported to the police, while 70% of property crime victimizations weren't reported. The FBI publishes data only on crimes reported to the police, which means it doesn't capture most crimes.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And the LAPD and a number of other police departments don't even report the numbers to the FBI under the new system. Folks, it's all bullshit. This is all starting to add up. And the good news is the media astroturfing and gaslighting of Kamala Harris is finally starting to come around as people realize and see through the bullshit. I want you to watch this quick. This is CNN. Excuse me, this is Kamala Harris. She now wants another debate. Now, she doesn't want the Fox News debate.
Starting point is 00:10:05 She wants the CNN debate. People who win debates, ladies and gentlemen, and want to ride the wave 40 days to the election aren't begging for another debate. And if they, listen, if she was serious, she would have accepted the Fox debate. Why do you think now there are three things happening I want you to pay attention to? She's saying she's about to release an economic plan. Well, that's strange. Her issues page was blank forever. She's now demanding another debate on CNN with friendly debaters. And she's saying she may go to Arizona to visit the border. Ladies and gentlemen in the chat, why do you think that's happening? Because she's winning? Bullshit. She is losing and she knows it. No red wave talk. We could still lose this thing. I'm telling you, it is catching
Starting point is 00:10:51 up to her. People who are getting mugged and their stuff's being stolen and their store's being looted. These people don't want to hear bullshit stories from Fusion Ken about how crime is down. Here's Kamala saying how, oh, now it's time. I think I want another debate. She knows she's getting smoked. Check this out. We have breaking news tonight from Vice President Kamala Harris. Moments ago, when she arrived back at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington, she issued another call for Donald Trump to debate her in October. Join me on the debate stage. Let's have another another debate there's more to talk about and the voters of america deserve to hear the conversations that i think we should be having on substance
Starting point is 00:11:32 on issues on policies what's your plan what's my plan and um and we should have another one before election day harris also said she would deliver another speech on her economic policy this week. I the podcast, my favorite thing to do. You know that, right? You got this is like fun time for me during the day. I'm telling you as your friend. Again, don't get cocky here. I'm just saying there are a number of really positive green shoots going on right now. If the polls are accurate, which I strongly doubt, if the polls are accurate right now, Donald Trump is in play and within the margin of error in every swing state.
Starting point is 00:12:21 If the polls are off by even half of what they were in 2020 and a quarter of what they were in 2016, Donald Trump wins the swing states in a rout, okay? If, that's a big if. Remember, factor in the cheating and the media bullshit and an inevitable another October surprise. The fact that she's releasing an economic plan, which is probably going to be some communist manifesto, says that she knows, she knows she's having real problems breaking through, even though the media is trying to redefine her.
Starting point is 00:12:54 People don't understand what she's for. They just understand the suffering they're undergoing now that she's responsible for. And the Arizona border visit she's talking about. What's behind that is very simple. When you ask voters, triage for me what matters to you issues wise. It's typically one and two, the economy and the border. None of this is by accident. I'm here to sift through the fog like the dreadful Stephen King missed. I'm here to sift through it and tell you what's really going on. She wants to debate because her numbers are collapsing.
Starting point is 00:13:29 She's proposing an economic plan because she realizes voters hate the economy now. And she's pretending she wants to go to the border. She may or she may not because she understands she's the border czar. And now with new videos emerging that could sink her campaign, she realizes she's in real trouble. Here, Trump's right. This is Donald Trump. Put this on True Social. When a prize fighter loses a match,
Starting point is 00:13:49 the first words out of their mouth are, I want a rematch. I told you Donald Trump at best was a push in the debate. I thought it came out mildly ahead. Everybody laughed. Oh, Dan, you don't know what you're talking about. Now, okay. Now you know.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Now do I know what I'm talking about? Trust your boy, Dan. I'm not going to steer you wrong. I'm not here to bullshit you. I don't have any time. This is how bad it is behind the scenes of the Kamala campaign. Folks, I'm not going to lie to you. I had better contacts with people who knew people inside different Democrat administrations. I obviously don't have great contacts
Starting point is 00:14:25 inside the Kamala Harris campaign, but I still know some people who understand the swamp really well. The internal polling for the Kamala Harris campaign has got to be dreadful right now. Because if this leaked onto CNN and Jim Acosta, who is up there with Ken Delaney as one of the most hapless buffoons on television, if Jim Acosta, who is up there with Ken Delaney as one of the most hapless
Starting point is 00:14:45 buffoons on television. If Jim Acosta and CNN are reporting on the dreadful performance of Kamala Harris with a group she absolutely needs, Hispanic voters in swing states like Nevada and Arizona. If Jim Acosta is reporting on this, can you imagine what the internal numbers are where Kamala Harris probably wants a legitimate picture of where she is so they don't wait the polls and push the polls? Her numbers are probably abysmal. Watch the shock on Acosta's face as he realizes she's running 11 points behind with Hispanic voters. She's doing worse than Hillary. Check this out. Things that we should note, and I don't know if we can show this number. I want to put this up on screen. Latino voters have moved away from Harris in Arizona. If you believe this New York Times poll, her lead has shrunk by 11 points in that voting
Starting point is 00:15:35 block. It was she was at 60 percent in August, now 49 percent now. Now, I titled my show today a video that should go look at the title. Okay, just making sure the title should sink the Kamala Harris campaign. I didn't say would, I said should. Because in any normal election cycle, ladies and gentlemen, where the number one or number two issue, depending on what survey you look at, is say X, and you got a candidate on video and say X is a bad thing. It makes sense in a second. And you've got a candidate on video laughing, smiling, and singing about how much she loves X, whatever X may be, that'd be the end.
Starting point is 00:16:27 That would be the end. Imagine a candidate, I'm concerned about street crime. And then you got the candidate on video going, up, up with street crime, down, down with police. Imagine them singing, dancing, thinking it's a freaking party. They're getting out the fireball. They're ready to go. Maybe tequila shots. Who knows? It would be the end. Now I say a video that should sink the campaign because outside of Fox and Newsmax, I have not seen this video anywhere. I'm not saying it's not out there.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I don't watch CNN all day. I'm just saying this would be the end. A candidate for office is supposed to be your best weapon in a campaign. When you go to a fundraiser, I can prove it to you. Do you want to see the surrogates? No, you want to see the candidate. People show up at a Donald Trump fundraiser to meet Donald Trump because they like him. He's got an electric personality, goes in a supermarket, gives the lady $100 for groceries, looks totally comfortable doing it.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Trump is the campaign's best asset. What's the worst asset for the Kamala Harris campaign? Thank you, Justin. Kamala Harris, folks, every time a video comes out, it gets worse. This thing surfaced yesterday. I don't know how this isn't getting more play. The number one or number two issue is the border.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Here's Kamala Harris joking, laughing, smoking and joking about it like this is hilarious, dancing like a goofball, smiling with Snoop Doggy Dogg, singing up, up with education, down, down with deportation. This is the left summed up in one stupid video that should really be the end of this woman's campaign.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Watch this. Up, up with education, Down, down with deportation. Folks, any normal campaign cycle, this is the end. This is not a normal campaign cycle, this is the end. This is not a normal campaign cycle. Again, the media is phantom zoning this thing. Remember the Superman 2 where Zod gets sent into the glass and it just floats around the galaxy? That's the story, floating around in the glass.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Someone's going to have to break the glass. And this show is going to do it because we've already got, how many people? I'm sorry, I was reading this thing quick during the break. How much? We got 145,000 people, I was reading this thing quick during the break. How much? We got 145,000 people, probably the largest stream in the world right now. There's a couple of things about that video I want to point out.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Number one, notice the joy in this. Down, down with deportation, which is effectively saying illegals, there's no penalty. Come into the country, It's open season. Our country is your country. Don't worry about the legal immigration process. You just give everyone the double-barreled middle finger
Starting point is 00:19:32 and walk right in. She's dancing. She thinks it's funny. But one of the other reasons this sums up the left is, folks, I have been studying the left for most of my adult life for the past, say, 20-plus years. This is the left for most of my adult life for the past, say, 20 plus years. This is the left. I said fill it in for Mark Levin probably 10 years ago on radio, and it still stuck.
Starting point is 00:19:53 People still email me about it to stay. It's how a lot of people found my podcast. They love the show. I said the left is a bumper sticker party. That's all they are. Tolerance, coexist, up, up with education, down-down with deportation. If you ask them even the simplest of questions about their stupid bullshit sloganeering, they immediately collapse.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Up-up with education? For who? For who? The whole world? Anybody comes in. Terrorists? What about criminals? Are we vetting them?
Starting point is 00:20:21 We're dumping the illegal process? So, local, where are they going? Are they going to Martha's Vineyard dumping the illegal, the legal process. Everyone. So local, where are they going? They're going to Martha's Vineyard to get educated. Or is it just, you send them to conservative cities? How's this working? What about down,
Starting point is 00:20:31 down with deportation? What does that mean? Down with deportation. We're not deporting terrorists. We're not criminals. Fentanyl traffickers, child sex traffickers. Anyone,
Starting point is 00:20:39 anyone say you went through the country illegally five or six times, still down, down with deportation. This is Kamala Harris. Her entire campaign is a bumper sticker. That is it. That is her entire campaign. Voting for Kamala Harris is voting for a stupid bumper sticker at the expense of your own prosperity. Fact. She is pushing the government. She's pushing government further into your life with no explanation whatsoever about the downsides of this, folks.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I got more. I'm going to show you some more coming up next. Some of the stuff she's pushing that's already failed. She wants more of it. We got 40 days to clean this mess up. Hey, everybody's talking about those weight loss injections because the results can be pretty dramatic. They help lower blood sugar
Starting point is 00:21:28 and reduce appetite. But what if you need to lose weight, but you don't have the money, you don't like weekly shots? The shots can get really expensive. Plus the long-term safety profile, who knows? Brickhouse Nutrition's doctors
Starting point is 00:21:38 created a supplement called Lean. I used it. The results are remarkable. The studied ingredients in Lean have been shown to help lower your blood sugar and burn fat by converting it into energy and they help curb your appetite and cravings. Lean is not for the dieter
Starting point is 00:21:51 with only a few pounds to lose. The doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created lean for frustrated dieters with 10 pounds or more to lose. So let's get you started with 15% off and free rest shipping so you can add lean to your wellness and exercise plan. I lost about, what is it, 28, 30 pounds on it.

Thank you, check it out. It's an amazing product. We love it. All right, back to the show. I want to show you right here in this clip.
Starting point is 00:22:30 This is important. Why the Kamala Harris campaign is a bumper sticker. It will never be anything more than a bumper sticker because everything going on behind the bumper sticker that creates the adhesive that sticks it to the actual bumper is gross and poisonous to the skin. And that's why she doesn't want to show you the backside of the bumper sticker. So the Kamala Harris campaign was pushing this broadband initiative where they were
Starting point is 00:22:53 going to steal a bunch of your tax dollars to connect a whole bunch of people to the internet. I'm asking you again, is it bad enough yet? I want you to look at this video here from All In One Pod, the All In Pod. This is a bunch of really smart tech guys. They're talking about, again, another bullshit program. They steal a bunch of taxpayer dollars, expand broadband across the country. They spent billions of dollars on a problem the private sector already fixed.
Starting point is 00:23:17 This is about a minute from this and did absolutely nothing. She wants more of this. Check this out. Several people have been connected, according to FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, and eight, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight EV chargers have been built as of May, according to Auto Week magazine. What's even crazier, private industry already solved these problems. United Airlines just announced they're putting Starlink on a thousand of their planes, Airlines just announced they're putting Starlink on 1000 of their planes, and they're going to offer it for free. And Starlink now has 2500 planes under contract with a bunch of other airlines.
Starting point is 00:23:53 And in the second half of 2023, alone, the private sector built over 1000 charging stations in the US. These are two problems that have already been solved sacks why are we burning 50 billion dollars in the future with things that have already been solved we've solved for this you i own electric cars i have you know the answer you know the answer say the answer jason corruption no come on j Jason. Incompetence. Really? Graft. Keep going.
Starting point is 00:24:30 I mean, you tell me. Corruption, graft, buying votes from your constituents? They haven't delivered any of it. Incompetence, yes. Folks, I'm going to tell you something. The reason I put this clip in, these guys know their stuff. A lot of these guys are really sophisticated investors. Some of them were, I think, prior liberals who have now kind of come over to the more moderate side.
Starting point is 00:24:56 This is an important clip because it describes the entire Kamala Harris bumper sticker regime. On the bumper sticker is this. Tell me if I'm wrong, Justin. I'll say something like this on the bumper sticker regime on the bumper sticker is this here's a here's a tell me if i'm wrong justin i'll say something like this on a bumper sticker america deserves connection to the internet america deserves high speed and everybody's like yes yes and then you go well what the hell does the government know about cable cable companies can't even figure out how to run the damn broadband sometimes the answer is they don't know shit because they're Kamala Harris and they're stupid. They don't know anything.
Starting point is 00:25:28 The woman would have had a real job. That's why the government spends billions of dollars and can't connect in person to freaking Internet. Because they're stupid. And let me answer the question in a little bit more sophisticated terms than government stupidity. The government has a problem called the third party payer problem. The government takes money from people and spends it on other people. Milton Friedman described this problem and this dilemma perfectly. The government has absolutely no incentive to control the cost of what they're spending money on because it's not
Starting point is 00:26:01 their money. And the government doesn't even care about the quality of the service they're spending other people's money on because they're not even buying anything for themselves half the time. They're connecting other people to the internet. So if it doesn't work, they still don't give a shit. That's why the third party payer problem, those guys get it. They were saying it in different terms, corruption, ignorance. Yes, it's because of the third-party payer problem. Folks, and I'm going to ask again, now that I got the shirt going. You like the white, by the way? Is it bad enough yet?
Starting point is 00:26:33 Is it bad enough yet in inner cities that Hispanic, black, white voters who live in inner cities, struggling urban areas, are going to start seeing bumper sticker bullshit for what it is? The answer is it may be turning around, folks. I don't want to get ahead of myself. I'm not saying we're going to win New York. But I'm telling you, there's a lot of aggravated people out there. Did you see this video out of Philadelphia?
Starting point is 00:26:59 Folks, this is not a scene from Escape from New York with Snake Plissken. This is not a scene from The Purge. This is an actual scene from Escape from New York with Snake Plissken. This is not a scene from The Purge. This is an actual scene from Philadelphia. Put that up there. This is a scene from Philadelphia. Is that not playing? Yeah. This is a scene from Philadelphia.
Starting point is 00:27:17 A police officer rolls up on one of these street riots that's going on, and they decide it's a good idea to jump all over the police car. This is not a scene from The Purge. And it looks like, you don't have to be a cinematographer to figure out, and someone had a drone going, recording all this. Was this the cops or was this just some people so confident
Starting point is 00:27:38 they were going to double barrel, middle finger the cops that they decided to video their own crimes? Is it bad enough yet folks it's certainly getting there and i think a lot of urban leaders who have been traditionally democrats are starting to figure out that their constituents are getting really really pissed off i'm gonna take my last break i'm gonna come back i got a video from Sharpton. Al Sharpton, who is an absolute clown.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I've been around this guy my whole life when I was in New York City. Guy is a goofball. He was on MSNBC the other day, and this is why they're getting worried about things like hand-counting ballots in areas with large black populations because they know black voters
Starting point is 00:28:23 are starting to open their eyes in some of these urban areas, a lot of them, and to see the Republican Party differently since Donald Trump took over. So they're really terrified that they're not going to be able to scam there and cheat anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:36 So they're worried about hand counting ballots. Everything has a reason. You just got to learn to kind of see through it and sift through the BS. Quick break. I'll play for you that video. I got a lot more, including some more on the Secret Service scandal. Another pretty explosive appearance by Matt Gase.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Hey, one of the number one questions I get from listeners is, how do I get in the conservative fight and support the parallel economy?

Starting point is 00:31:03 So are all the lefties. That in Georgia, there's going to be a hand counting of ballots now. They don't want that. Thanks, Helios. Okay, back to the show. Folks, Sharpton's freaking out, so are all the lefties, that in Georgia there's going to be a hand counting of ballots now. They don't want that. They want to do anything they can to cheat because they're panicking right now that in large urban areas where the Democrat machine is running, where they're used to cheating, where they probably pull off some degree of cheating in nearly every election cycle, they're really freaked out that there are now backup
Starting point is 00:31:25 mechanisms in this election to at least detect some of it. They're not perfect systems, but they're OK. Watch Sharpton and MSNBC. They don't want to hear about this stuff at all. They will do anything to make the hand counting of ballots and any voter integrity measures go away. Check this out. State Election Board voted this week to require ballots to be hand counted in November. election board voted this week to require ballots to be hand counted in November. It's a move that could drastically lengthen the amount of time needed to tally results in the critical battleground state of Georgia. People have been warning of possible trouble from this panel. Is this the opening salvo of mischief from them in this make or break it state? This is freaking hilarious. So Democrats who have no problem whatsoever with vote counting for six months,
Starting point is 00:32:16 right guys? Like in the last election, the vote counting went on for like, it was like Haley's Comet. Like every 72 years they got an election result. The Democrats didn't give a shit. As long as the number, right? Am I kidding? As long as they came out on top.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Now Al Sharpton's worried that a hand recount to make sure the results are genuine and authentic. Now Sharpton's worried. He's worried that it may take a little bit to make sure the veracity of the data, the voting election data is accurate. Folks, these people are full of shit. Rewind to the beginning of the show, please. It data is accurate. Folks, these people are full of shit. Rewind to the beginning of the show, please. It's like we can't, it's a live show.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Beginning of the show, what did I tell you? Everything they're telling you is bullshit, folks. Everything. I heard Jessica Tarloff yesterday on The Five, child poverty is down under Biden-Harris. There does... There is no one who promotes more nonsense misinformation on TV than Tarloff. She's had to retract stuff. It's just nonsense. Everything she says to you is crap. These people just make stuff up.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I got a clip for you I'm going to play tomorrow because I got a lot more to get to today. This other Democrat on Fox with Sandra Smith, who's like, I can't believe you're cutting me off because I'm a woman. to get to today. This other Democrat on Fox with Sandra Smith, who's like, I can't believe you're cutting me off because I'm a woman. She didn't say anything. Everything they tell you is bullshit. Everything.
Starting point is 00:33:34 They are lying to you. This is a bumper sticker campaign. Whenever they're asked to produce even a small bit of verifiable data about their claims, they collapse. Here's a simple one. I saw this on X yesterday. Here is a chart. By the way, these are government statistics to BLS. So unless the Biden Bureau of Labor Statistics, Biden and Harris are lying to you, I want you to look at this chart. I want you to notice the top of the chart, the top states for job growth.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Did you notice all but basically one of them are pretty solid red states outside of maybe Nevada and Colorado, which are slightly blue and one purple state? Then go to the bottom. You scroll all the way to the bottom, and you notice the job growth sucks, and all the states at the bottom. You scroll all the way to the bottom and you notice the job growth sucks and all the states at the bottom,
Starting point is 00:34:27 all, oh, look, it's New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Illinois, Vermont, West Virginia, Maryland, Louisiana, Hawaii, District of Columbia, Connecticut. Look at this. Most of the states at the bottom are all blue with a couple of exceptions.
Starting point is 00:34:44 That's it. Ladies and gentlemen, in the same world, we would call that a trend. But we don't live in a sane world. We live in an insane world. Look at the top 20. It's overwhelmingly red. Overwhelmingly. The only blue state even close is Washington.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Are they barely in the top 20? even close is Washington and are they barely in the top 20? Everything they tell you, man, is total bullshit. I'm getting a lot of questions by the way in the chat. I want to just address
Starting point is 00:35:15 this quick before I move on to the Secret Service story because I got an update on that too. I started a little different today because, you know, the Secret Service story is very important, but there's a lot more to get to. So I did short segment on it today i hope you all understand covered it at length yesterday folks the soros acquisition george soros of a number of radio stations i'm going to cover it a little more detail tomorrow but i sense a lot of you in the chat are obviously very concerned about this you know they say dan how does it affect you? Well, it doesn't. I work for Westwood One.
Starting point is 00:35:45 I don't work for the company that he purchased. If we're on some of those stations, I don't know. I'm going to have to check into that. But I'm just telling you now, I want you all to write this down. I'll sign this thing with my own fingerprint right now. Nobody tells me what to say on radio or my podcast. I comprende, like everybody understand. Anybody thinking about telling me what to say, either now or in the future, anyone, you can cancel my show immediately. There is zero chance
Starting point is 00:36:18 it's going to happen. I backed that up in the past and I'll do it. I don't give a shit who it is. George Soros can plant his lips on my ass. If him or his company tried to tell me anything at any station I'm on anywhere, I will say, hey, George, here's my ass, okay? Right here, the gluteus maximus. You can take your head and plant it on my ass because I have absolutely no intention of changing my show one bit.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Ass right on the end because that's what's going to happen. And I will tell you that on your own station if you bought any of the stations I'm on. I will use your station to tell you to kiss my ass. Just like I'm doing right now. And this is all recorded. This will be VOD, video on demand later.
Starting point is 00:37:12 So it's my message to George. You can kiss my ass. Okay? Big. Big wet one. Kisso LSO. Because that's what you can do. I will be changing absolutely.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Everybody clear? Anyone on the crew have any questions? Nope. Michael, we all good? All good. Anyone in the chat? Anyone have any questions? Are we clear enough?
Starting point is 00:37:39 Okay, thanks. I'll cover it in a little more detail tomorrow about what happened and his purchase of the company. But I have a funny feeling my friends in the business are going to tell him the same thing too. There you go. I love you guys in the chat. You're the best. All right, back to some, that is serious stuff, but this is like, this is like life or death, legitimate life or death stuff. Folks, I said something yesterday and it went kind of viral. And I'm going to double down on it today because it's true.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And I'm getting this from some very serious people who are very concerned. Donald Trump is being hunted. I don't use that word in an inflammatory, dramatic fashion. I use it in the technical sense that there are people out there, very serious, credible cells that are real and active of people who will not stop unless Donald Trump is dead. Now, these people can be defeated, but they cannot be defeated with a second rate security system. And right now, unfortunately, that's what we have. Unfortunately, that's what we have.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Folks, the guy who is currently in jail, this guy, Ralph, who was the suspect in the second assassination attempt in West Palm Beach. The story is getting stranger now by the day. Folks, the money trail. You know, I wrote this book called Follow the Money. I wrote the title that way intentionally. Because when you follow the money and you see how money influences people, you will understand why people act the way they do.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Nobody can seem to dissect the money trail where this guy got his money from, the finances operation. They're saying he was living on $3,000 a month. How is he taking trips to Ukraine? Ukraine? Oh, yeah. Pay very close attention to this water Waters hit. This is really important. And I want you to listen to the countries he was going to at the end and ask yourself, how the hell did he get there? Who paid for it? Who authorized it? Check this out.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Why has Ruth never served a day in jail when he has 100 different counts to his name? Why was Ruth's fiancee, who just lost her job at Victoria's Secret, okay with him flying to Ukraine for months at a time? How was he able to feed himself in Ukraine when he only had $68 in his bank account? And everywhere he goes, he gets press from the local papers to the New York Times to Newsweek. Let's take a listen to Jesse Waters breaking it down. So how the citizen of the year with a nice house and a good family turned into an assassin living in a barn with more felonies than money in his bank account. Ruth couldn't even afford child support. Primetime looked into it and he was always behind
Starting point is 00:40:22 on payments to his ex. Always. She even agreed to terminate the support due to his financial situation. Ruth sold his house in North Carolina for $174,000 and then was also living in an $800,000 bungalow in Hawaii. How does a man with no money for child support suddenly start living in a pricey house in Hawaii and afford flights to Taiwan, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine? Big hat tip to vigilant news there as well. Sorry, that was that voice you heard in the beginning. That is a really, really puzzling kind of a question, isn't it? How is it some loner appears to be kind of like a life loser type guy
Starting point is 00:41:06 flying around the world to hot zones and everywhere else? Where is he getting the money to do this? You know, listen, not to get off track here, but I've got a family member who wants to come with me to a concert in a few weeks, and he's got a great job, and calls me the other day. He's like, man, I just can't afford it. I'm sorry, between the hotel and all this other stuff. He's like, man, I just can't afford it. I'm sorry. Between the hotel and all this other stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:26 He's like, I don't have the money. How the hell is a guy on $3,000 a month flying around the world into the world's hot zones and nobody notices? The answer is they did notice. DHS and others noticed. How's he doing this, folks? Now, hold that hit right there that clip sorry you don't want to use jargon that media clip in there in your head right in the front of your cerebral cortex
Starting point is 00:41:55 now i want you to listen to this clip this is matt gates talking about a ukraine connection with some of these squads and cells here in the United States. So the question's quickly becoming, who the hell was this guy working for? And is the answer a complicated one? Remember, if you go back to things like whatever from Iran-Contra on, a lot of these things that break with these overseas affairs, the person you think you're dealing with is not always the person you're dealing with. Listen to this.
Starting point is 00:42:27 You'll see what I mean. Check this out. I don't want you to think there are only five. There are five teams that were known by our government to have been hunting Trump pre-Butler. That may be a very different number today. Matter of fact, that number could have increased or shrunk, right? For all we know by today,
Starting point is 00:42:44 they've neutralized one of the teams or one of the individuals involved in these efforts. But to hear that one of them is Ukrainian and then you see this guy show up, who, by the way, was on the radar of Homeland Security investigations. Because when he enters the country, the very smart and astute folks at Customs and Border Patrol, think about that. You're Customs and Border Patrol. Your agency has been totally overrun. You're exhausted. And yet they have the wherewithal to say, this doesn't make sense. This guy's been all over the world.
Starting point is 00:43:17 And now he's saying he's a freedom fighter recruiting people. And when we ask him a reasonable question, who's funding your efforts to like recruit people from Taiwan and Afghanistan to go fight in Ukraine? Iran. Who's funding that? And the answer is, oh, my wife's paying for it. Like that story didn't exactly check out. You and I both have very successful wives that we're very proud of, but I don't think they'd pay for a hobby quite like this. And so when that goes to HSI, I don't think they'd pay for a hobby quite like this. And so when that goes to HSI, no activity, no action, no review. And now it emerges that one of the teams we knew about, Hunting Trump, had a Ukraine connection. heard a tenth, a tenth of the details in this, what's going to be an enormous scandal. There is something going on behind the scenes right now that connects these foreign entities that have business with the United States, either good or bad, and an operation to kill
Starting point is 00:44:22 Donald Trump. And the key question right now is how many of these cells are real and active and how much interaction has happened between the Biden-Harris administration and their campaigns and these Iranians who were trying to feed them information. How much of that has yet to be disclosed? People like Ken Delaney, who is supposed to be disclosed. People like Ken Delanian, who is supposed to be deep state specialist, you'd think they'd be interested in this stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Folks, they are hiding something big here. If these two would-be assassins are connected to a foreign government and people in our government knew about it, not only knew about it, but if people in our government knew about it, not only knew about it, but if people in our government facilitated this and that comes out, it's going to be, again, the biggest scandal of our time. Get ready for more on this, folks. This thing is ugly. And I told you yesterday, their communication systems in the Secret Service have likely been compromised.
Starting point is 00:45:30 This story is going to get worse. Let me get back to Kamala and the campaign, too. Because, folks, we can't lose this election. This is not optional. It's not one of those elections like, you know, we lose it like it was a JFK type thing. You know, you get John F. Kennedy in there, he was more of a moderate Democrat, and you're going to suffer through four years of Democrat policies, but it's recoverable. Maybe second term Bill Clinton.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Maybe it's like the era of big governments over. That's not this. The lady is a bumper sticker, and what's behind this bumper sticker is nasty. It's toxic to your skin. There is nothing she's promoting that is going to even remotely enhance your prosperity. Now, I will say again, the argument about the Second Amendment to Democrats
Starting point is 00:46:13 has nothing to do with guns. Oh my gosh, Dan, sure it does. No, it doesn't. The gun for them is a proxy for a bigger argument. The Democrats hate anything that enables you to live your life independently of government. The gun is a vehicle for your own self-protection. The Democrats hate the idea that you can protect
Starting point is 00:46:33 yourself using a firearm. That's why they always want to take your guns. If the Democrats truly hated guns and thought they were so inherently dangerous, I'll prove it to you. I'll prove it to you. The Democrats wouldn't surround themselves with guns. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm not wrong. The Democrats want to take your guns because they want you vulnerable and they want you like little desperate sheep. That's why Kamala Harris will be the biggest gun grabbing president we've seen in U.S. history. This woman has even less backbone than the hapless Joe Biden. Here she is in another video that surfaced the other day, celebrating Australia's gun laws.
Starting point is 00:47:13 You know, the gun confiscation laws in Australia? She doesn't even know the data, folks. There are more guns in Australia now. I'll get to that in a second. But here she is again, the worst asset to any campaign I've ever seen in modern Democrat presidential politics, is Kamala Harris running the Kamala Harris campaign. Here she is celebrating Australia's gun confiscation. In her own words, check this out.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Gun violence has terrorized and traumatized so many of our communities in this country. And let us be clear. It does not have to be this way. As our friends in Australia have demonstrated. As our friends in Australia have demonstrated. Folks, does this woman know anything? I told you she's a bumper sticker. Here's her bumper sticker. Guns kill. They do? Really? I've had guns for a long time. They
Starting point is 00:48:11 haven't killed anyone. That's really weird. Yeah, maybe guns kill bad guys trying to kill you. Australia's gun laws are as a model of success? Really? I was on 60 Minutes once with, I mean, 60 Minutes Australia. Do you guys ever see this clip? Here I am on 60 Minutes Australia debating the host of the show with no idea that there are more guns now in Australia after their failed gun confiscation laws
Starting point is 00:48:39 than there are now. So if you're going to say Australian gun laws worked by creating less guns, you've got it all backwards. There are now more guns. Check this out. Why do I carry a gun? Because if someone confronts me in a gun in an incident,
Starting point is 00:48:52 God forbid, given the extremely low likelihood, you're dead. It's over. Now, the only question I have for you is you want to defend yourself. What are you going to do if a bad guy shows up with a gun and sticks it in your face? What, are you going to curse at him? I mean, what are you going to give him a wallet and say,
Starting point is 00:49:07 there you go. Good luck. What if that's not enough? You can't give me a good answer as to what you would do if a guy confronts you with a gun. Oh, here's my what were you going to beg? You're going to get on your knees. I'm not getting on my knees. You can get on yours. I ain't getting on mine. I got one more I want to play for you too, from that clip. Because folks, this guy, he was a nice enough guy. Again, he was in my house. That was my old house in Palm City. I don't live there anymore. But they came to my house. They flew all the way over from Australia. I was stunned at how little this guy knew. Then he starts citing his own country as an example of success for gun laws. Check this out. Marjorie Stoneman's school is just down the road from here.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Yeah. What do you say to the students there that say that gun control is necessary? Well, gun control is a myth. I mean, we've never controlled guns. I don't even... Is now the time. Well, how? I mean, what evidence does anybody have that gun controls worked anywhere?
Starting point is 00:50:06 Australia. You have no evidence that gun controls worked in Australia. There has not been a single mass shooting since the gun buyback. Okay, so, and I encourage everyone to do all your own homework. There are more guns now in Australia than before the gun confiscation.
Starting point is 00:50:21 It doesn't work. Folks, please look that up. Please look that up. Go online right now and look that up and you'll see I'm right because I looked it up for him when the cameras stopped rolling and the guy couldn't believe it. Do you understand the argument he's trying to make? There has not been a single mass shooting in Australia because we took everybody's guns. You did. You realize there are more guns in Australia now, correct? So you're actually making the opposite argument that more guns lead to less crime and especially less gun crime.
Starting point is 00:50:58 You understand you're making the opposite argument. The guy was stunned. this is what kamala harris this is the democrats again please go back to the beginning of the show everything they're telling you folks is bullshit everything the states with constitutional carry and the areas run by conservative sheriffs with liberal firearms laws where people can protect themselves, right, have lower crime rates. The highest crime rates in the country are in urban areas run by liberal Democrat goofballs who have strict gun laws where people can't protect themselves. This is not hard. Everything they're telling you is bullshit. Everything. It doesn't stand up to even the mildest of scrutiny. I will never forget.
Starting point is 00:51:49 The interview was over. Again, the guy wasn't rude or anything like that. And you didn't see a lot of it on camera. But when that's over, I look it up for him. I go to my counter. We had a little counter by this kitchen island we had in the old house. I put my phone down, and I pulled up this, whatever, Australian dispatch article or something.
Starting point is 00:52:08 More guns now in Australia than before. And the guy couldn't believe it. He's like, wow, mate, I think you're right. Yes, I am right. You just don't know what you're talking about. You don't know what you're talking about. What's that? Yes. Think of a guy with the sports code. I just, I wish I would have had my own camera rolling to show you the look on this guy's face. This is the entire Democrat party summed up. All right. I want to go back to the beginning of the show too. I
Starting point is 00:52:41 want to talk about something here, folks. This is really important. The Iranian threat here, folks, the Iranian threat to Donald Trump and to this country is very real. Is there something going on with an Iran-Ukraine nexus? Are they using people to a third-party country? I don't know. I'm just telling you, what did the Kamala Harris campaign know? Because we now know conclusively that Iranian operators were reaching out to the Biden campaign for president and the Harris campaign for president and trying to collude. Oh, there's that word again, collusion.
Starting point is 00:53:19 And magically, there's no FISA investigation and appears the FBI is nowhere to be found as far as we know. Here's Congressman Russell Frye talking about exactly this in a really important clip. Because folks, there's a huge scandal going on right now and you haven't heard anything about it. And it's collusion between the Iranians and the Harris campaign. And everybody is really quiet about it as they're trying to shoot Donald Trump and pop him in the head. Check this out. The interest of protecting our democracy, shouldn't politicians show more interest
Starting point is 00:53:52 in this Iranian hack? Oh, 100%. And quite frankly, the mainstream media should be too. I mean, four years ago, we pursued a Russia collusion hoax for years and years. And no one seems to bat an eye that our biggest adversary in the Middle East is trying to interfere in our elections. And there's no question about who they support as president. So, Congressman, do you see an October surprise then coming from a foreign actor?
Starting point is 00:54:14 Well, I think they're certainly trying. And so I'm hopeful that law enforcement agencies are equipped to deal with this. But it is deeply troubling that you have a foreign government that is trying to pre-engineer who's going to win. And what's in it for the Iranians, right? I mean, President Trump put tremendous sanctions on them. He withdrew from the disastrous Iran deal. He took out Qasem Soleimani.
Starting point is 00:54:37 He continues to put pressure on the Iranians even now. And this administration has given them $6 billion. They have turned a blind eye to the sanctions, which has allowed Iran to fund Hezbollah and Hamas. So there's no question in my mind and I think most Americans minds about who they support. We just need to stop it. This sounds like kind of a big deal. And don't let this get lost up in people's little personal get crossed up in people's personal politics. And if've seen the x traffic on this you know what i mean folks the iran threat is real this issue we have with ukraine and interference in the united states and our politics is very real i wrote a whole book
Starting point is 00:55:15 about it soros's influence in ukraine and elsewhere to tie all these stories together is very real my book follow the money there's a whole chapter on it called Insane in Ukraine. Ties Ukraine, Soros, all of it together. This is very real. The only question right now, which I brought up for the last few days, not the only, but the most important question is how much did the Kamala Harris campaign know about what's going on with Iran and how deep was the collusion between them? Because there's absolutely zero doubt that there are teams of people out there right now hunting Donald Trump. And they're going to do anything to stop him from swearing in
Starting point is 00:55:52 if he wins this election. And as these polls get uglier for the Democrats, you're going to see them freak out even more. And I'm genuinely worried like those two in that last piece, the congressman and the Fox reporter, about an October surprise, and it's not going to be a pleasant one. Stay tuned tomorrow, by the way.
