The Dan Bongino Show - Was This Kamala’s Katrina Moment Before A Critical Debate? (Ep. 2340)

Episode Date: October 1, 2024

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz seem to be allergic to the media on all fronts. Kamala's response to the hurricane and the recent strikes only prove it. In this episode, I'll cover the breaking stories on this morning of the VP Debate.

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, obviously a ton to talk about as the news is coming at us firehose style and we're trying to drink it. First off, again, keep in your thoughts and in the power of your prayers. keeping your thoughts and in the power of your prayers, the folks in North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, they got banged up really good with this storm. And I just want you to keep in mind, optics and leadership matters. The Democrats and the media decided a long time ago that they were going to politicize the optics of leadership every time there's a natural disaster. And now they're starting to learn when you do that, that we start to pay attention to. And Kamala Harris on her phone, without the thing plugged in the phone, pretending to talk to people and handling this storm is definitely not the optics they needed right

now. The only question now is, is this her Katrina moment? And it certainly looks to me like it is. Folks, big show today. A lot happened yesterday. You know I can't sleep without my Beam Dream Powder. They have an exclusive discount for my listeners. Up to 45% off.

I heard he was an incredibly nice guy, too. Had brain cancer. I don't know what killed Pete Rose, but be remiss if I didn't mention that today. Folks, not every figure in our history, sports or otherwise, is going to be perfect, but some people do amazing

things and they're not all, you know, not everyone's got a clean moral CV, if you know what I mean. By the way, this guy included.

I know I don't need to say pay attention. It's condescending and it sounds ridiculous. But in case you're doing something else, if you're not holding small children, dealing with sharp weapons, heavy machinery, I need you to stop what you're doing right now and pay really close attention. There are still a small number,

but they're not non-existent. And I understand your concerns of people out there who have told me and Justin and Michael and Guy, stop telling people to vote early. You're crazy. That's a big mistake. Really. So I've said, and I need to make my case over and over, that now me, Donald Trump, Scott Pressler, and just about every significant Republican conservative MAGA activist you trust is saying, please vote early.

Do you see after yesterday why I am telling you to vote early? I don't know what more evidence you need that they are getting ready to triple barrel. We got him. Sorry, we haven't had the triple in a long time. The trifecta. I don't know what more evidence you need that the triple barrel's coming your way. Folks, do you really think you're being told the entire story on the Verizon outage yesterday? Oh, shit, what happened with Verizon?

Did you not hear? Verizon had a mysterious breakdown in service where people were seemingly disconnected from the cell network and getting the SOS signal on the bars that you get like when you're up in an airplane if you try to go off airplane mode. You haven't heard much about it, have you? Weird, right? How we haven't heard anything about that? I'm just going to throw this question out there for you. And I'm going to ask you again, because some people go, well, they can cheat on election day. You know how else they can cheat on election day? By saying, go F yourself. There is no election day because the cell network's down and we can't transmit our data and your vote's

not even going to matter. Folks, the Department of Homeland Security, you know what, guys, we got to put this in an evergreen file. I mean, the memo, the Department of Homeland Security, you know what, guys? We got to put this in an evergreen file. It's not me. The memo, the Department of Homeland Security memo, the corrupt Department of Homeland Security has already put out a warning that there could be a major internet attack on election day.

There are only two reasons the corrupt Department of Homeland Security would do this. Number one, they're telling the truth, which I doubt, but it's possible. So if there's going to be a DDoS internet attack on election day, then you better vote early or you're not going to vote. Number two, they're lying because they're part of an internet attack on election day and they want to blame it on someone else. Either way, you should be voting

on election day. Folks, I don't know what happened with Verizon yesterday, but I know this. They have been incredibly quiet about it. Nobody's saying jack shit about the cell network being wiped out. And I'm just going to throw the question out there. 34 days are we now before election day? You don't think that's kind of weird that that couldn't be some dry run by some foreign government or maybe not, maybe some swampy actor

to take down the cell network on election days? How do you think they're going to transmit the data? Folks, pay attention to what's going on. I don't mean to sound like a dick because that's not my goal, okay? I'm telling you as a friend, I got no skin in the game at all. I got none, zero, outside of my activism and passion for conservative ideology. I'm not running for office. I don't benefit from people running for office. Have you seen a single campaign ad on this show that we do a live read for?

We get offers for them. Have we? Folks in the chat. No, you have not. Do you know how many people reach out and ask us if we can run ads and things like that? We don't do it. It's because we don't want to be perceived as being in hock to folks, okay? We want to be objective about stuff. folks, okay? We want to be objective about stuff. I've got no skin in the damn game. You've got a port strike now that is about to F up the American economy like you haven't seen since COVID. You've got a major hurricane blast right through the southeast of the country, takes out an entire western portion of North Carolina and the eastern portion of Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. You've got entire towns wiped out. You've got Verizon like,

holy shit, a good chunk of the country has no cell service. What happened? I don't know, man. There is going to be a massive election day surprise. I don't know what, I don't know. To all the people out there who doubt me, I don't know what, I don't know, to all the people out there who doubt me, I don't know what else

you need to be told. Brett, do we have the Pressler tweet from yesterday? Sorry to throw the show up, guys. Pull the, Scott Pressler, who I've had on my show

many times, can we all agree, like, this guy is just all about winning? He's in Pennsylvania. All this kid does for 12 hours a day, not kid,

he's a young man, but he's probably a man, man. I'm so old. Everybody seems young at this point. All he does is register voters. He's telling you, look, and the same thing I'm telling you and Trump's telling you. They are planning to mess with you on election day. They're not going to do it everywhere, but they're going to do it in places that matter.

Pressler has this list on his tweet of they've already done this before. They've already done this before. They've already done this before. Maricopa County, Arizona, they mysteriously what? Ran out of paper and ink for printers. Like you didn't know there was an election. Look, in 2022, Arizona machines had printing errors on election day. Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, conveniently, folks, ran out of paper on election day. On 2022, it snowed Nevada on election day. Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, conveniently, folks, ran out of paper on election day. On 2022, it snowed Nevada

on election day. It takes 12 hours to disrupt an election. He is, Pressler is 100% correct. If they are going to cheat, they're going to do it on election day, whether you vote early,

whether you vote by mail, it doesn't matter. It's not even a confounding variable because if they're going to cheat, they're going to cheat. They'll find a way. I would rather be able to track my vote early and know it got in. Look at all these poor folks in North Carolina.

You think they're thinking about voting? Think about surviving. They don't even have water. You blame them? Voting? There's no water to drink. Can't even flush a damn toilet bowl. They have no food.

Please, in the name of everything that's holy, get out there and the second early voting opens up. Get out there and vote. Here, I want to say, guys, am I beating this thing to death? I can't even, folks, we got to win.

No more fucking around. Pardon my language. We got to win. We got to win. No more fucking around. Pardon my language. We got to win. We got to win. If we lose to this freaking communist, the whole thing is done. It'll take us 20 years to get our country back. For those of you who doubt me, look at the numbers in Virginia.

Virginia early voting is going on now. The Republicans have swamped it. The numbers are already publicly reported. They can't go back and make the numbers change. The numbers have already been reported. People are, they have the numbers. If they're going to scam, they're going to scam. At least now we can track it and we would see something's wrong. Hey, last week you guys reported 100,000 Republican votes. Now you report 95. How did that happen? I'm sorry if I'm driving you crazy. I'm sorry if I'm driving you crazy.

We just can't lose, man. And they're going to cheat on Election Day. I'm sure of it. The question is to what degree and can we overwhelm it? I think we can. Folks, you can tell. Here's Politico playbook. This morning, October 1st, correct?

Look at the date. October 1st, 2024. Democrats are now suing to block Georgia's hand-counted ballots rule. Keep that up for a second. Why the hell would Democrats not want hand-counted ballots? Because they want to cheat. Is there any other reason why you wouldn't want to double-check and hand-count a ballot? Here's another one. In New Hampshire, the ACLU and other groups obviously left wingers sued over a law requiring proof of

citizenship to register to vote why would you sue over a law for citizenship to register because you want non-citizens to register is any of this outside of the occam's razor keep it simple stupid razor no it isn't They're going to cheat. Make it hard on them by swamping this thing so badly that they panic on election day. And when they panic, they get sloppy. And if we can overwhelm it, they're not going to be able to scam to the degree if we overwhelm them outside of the margin of cheating.

Folks, I just want to win, man. I just want to win. That's all I want. I promise you, I promise you, I have no skin in the game. I've read every single critique of early voting. Some are compelling, but they don't overwhelm what they could do and have done on election day. We had water pipes break in Georgia.

Water pipes in Georgia. You guys remember 2020, right? Philadelphia. Oh, the counting stops. You act like if you vote on election day, like they haven't cheated in the past too. My critics, not you. Again, I don't mean to sound like an asshole.

They're going to cheat. Make it hard on them. Make it really hard on them. Because if there's an internet outage on election day, you're going to rue the day you didn't take my advice. We got one shot here, and that's it. Folks, they're starting to really panic now. They're really freaking out.

The media and the left senses they've got a real problem. And I want to nail it down to two specific things I'm going to get to during today's show is going to be really important. The media's freaked out about a lot of stuff over the Harris-Tampon-Tim campaign, but there are two things freaking them out the most. Number one is Pennsylvania.

Number two is the minority vote. I promise you, talk to anyone in the left-wing media, put a couple tequila shots in them, of course, willingly, and they'll tell you what I'm telling you. They are worried about Pennsylvania first because they lose Pennsylvania in a 19 electoral college votes. There's no math for Kamala to win.

And they are worried about the minority vote as well. Hispanic voters, Jewish voters, black voters, they are freaking out. That is why they are so eager to silence us. I just want to throw this out there quick as a big thank you to you guys to show you the Bongino Army is now absolutely taking over political media. Even the New York Times is freaking out about the Bongino Army right now. Salute to the Bongino Army. Love you guys. New York Times, not just fun and games anymore. Politics edges deeper into live streaming. Oh, look at that.

The most watched political commentator during September's presidential debate was Dan Bongino. I know that guy really well. He drew about 349,000 concurrent live viewers to Rumble, a popular platform amongst conservatives. You're damn right. Notice this one, folks. How much it must have killed the New York Times to have to write this. More people watch Bongino stream the debate on Rumble than watch the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, C-SPAN, or CNN stream the debate on their own YouTube channels.

Holy shit! We have just taken over, brothers and sisters. The Bongino army is real. Billion-dollar media companies can't keep up with my... Michael, you're a math guy. What do you think the dimensions of this room are? Say it was a rectangle. I know it's not a perfect one.

You're a really smart math guy. 30 by 12, maybe 30. I'll say 28.6. This is the room. You're seeing about 20 by two of it right there. That's the whole room. The studio will be moving in soon, but that's the whole room. Billion dollar companies cannot keep up with us. They are freaking out because we own the joint now. Now you can't leave. If you've ever seen a Bronx tale, I just can't use. we run the joint now we run the joint now yes justin's like you're ever going

to get to the actual show you gave us i will i probably haven't even got to the opening of the show as a new opening now you know by the way now you know what the most devastating story of the election cycle by far is border czar Kamala Harris overseeing 13,000 illegals in the United States who are convicted murderers, 15,000 sex offenders and 400,000 criminal convicts in the United States illegally while border czar Kamala Harris is still in charge. It is by far the most destructive story of the news cycle. It is outside of transgender surgeries for prisoners paid for by taxpayer dollars, which Kamala Harris supports. I'm telling you, this is the most devastating

story of the cycle. And now you absolutely know the story's accurate. How? The worst press secretary in the history of the United States, Karine Jean-Pierre, in a desperate effort, bumbling and stumbling, by the way, not even using proper English at any point in this response, you'll see yourself. Here she is, bumbling and stumbling through the story, responding to a question about it by Peter Doocy,

and citing, yes, you guessed it, communist fact-checkers. Now you know the story's true. Check this out. 14,000 people who have been convicted of murder crossed the border illegally and are living among us. So how much danger are U.S. communities in right now because of this?

I'm assuming you're talking about the ICE data? Yes. So just a couple of things, and I think it's important to correct the record here. First of all, the false representation of the data I shared, so that was what we are seeing, false representation. I got to call that out. We got to call that out.

And it's been fact checked by some of your colleagues here, by multiple, multiple, multiple outlets that has been debunked on what has been falsely misrepresented here. So we have to call that out. Karine Jean-Pierre, at no point during that delusional, rambling, incoherent word salad of a response, even using anything remotely close to the proper use of the English language words. Stumbles through the entire thing. And hilariously cites left-wing fact-checkers.

Who when left-wing fact-checkers tell you something's false. What does that tell you? Yes, you're correct. It means the story is now 100% true. They are freaking out. the story is now 100% true. They are freaking out. Expect this, by the way,

to come up, immigration, in some way in the debate tonight. If you're expecting, by the way, any form of a fair debate, given that it's communist CBS, that's a joke. I'm just going to tell you this. Don't set expectations high or low.

Go into it with an open mind. Tim Walz is already trying to set expectations low for the VP debate tonight. Tim's running scared. Tim Walls will be just fine. J.D. Vance is going to have to debate three people again. CBS is the most disgusting mainstream media outlet of them all. That's the home of Sir from 60 Minutes. Sir!

It's the home of Sir and 60 Minutes. You can expect absolutely nothing from him. However, J.D. Vance is smarter than Tampon Tim and the two debaters. He'll be fine. I just want to show you a quick sneak preview. A hat tip, a bad hombre on X. I saw this clip. This was J.D. Vance absolutely destroying

Tim Ryan the last time he debated in his race for the U.S. Senate. J.D. will be A-OK. Don't set expectations too high, too low. He will be just fine. We're going to cover it tomorrow, too, afterwards. But here, check this out. He's raising money for the insurrectionists who are

beating up the Capitol Police. The one guy he tried to raise money for got four years in prison. This is ridiculous. I'm not taking a backseat to you. I brought $500 million back to fund police in Ohio. So I've got three little kids, including a two year old. And one of the things that's true of toddlers and is also apparently true of career politicians is that they accuse you of doing the very thing that they do themselves all the time. is that they accuse you of doing the very thing that they do themselves all the time. At the height, at the height, Tim, of the BLM riots, I've condemned political violence whether it comes from the left or the right,

but at the height of the BLM riots where they were rioting and looting and burning down America's cities, Ohio's cities and small towns, Tim Ryan threw the police under the bus. He attacked them as the new Jim Crow, as systemically racist, and he voted for legislation that would have stripped funding from them and redirected it towards litigation defense. This is another example of Tim Ryan talking about what he would like to do. Tim, you don't sound too bad. If you actually tried to do the things you talk about wanting to do, you wouldn't be half bad. The problem is you got 20 years and you failed to do any of it. All right. The line at the end is an instant classic.

You know, Tim, you don't sound too bad. If you actually did any of that stuff, you wouldn't be too bad. The problem is you're full of shit, just like, you know, kids who lie about stuff. Folks, that has got to be one of the best debate lines I've ever heard. JD is going to be fine. I will have the highlights tomorrow.

We're going to be doing live coverage tonight because we've got a busy planning schedule coming up. We've got the October 9th live stream at 930 a.m. a.m. Eastern time with Donald Trump. It's going to be the biggest live stream event of the year. We've also got election night. We'll be making an announcement about election night,

what we'll be doing after the Trump interview on October 9th on live stream. Folks, J.D. will be fine. We'll cover it tomorrow. Don't forget that. Live stream with President Trump, October 9th, 930 a.m. We're going to be doing it live from Mar-a-Lago. Please don't miss it. Tell all your friends to be there. It's going to be a different live from Mar-a-Lago. Please don't miss it. Tell all your friends to be there.

It's going to be a different kind of interview, folks. It's that time of the election cycle. We got to start doing different stuff. We can't ask the same questions over and over again. Everybody does that. All right, here's what I'm going to get to next. I'm going to lay out for you in advance exactly what's going to happen in this debate tonight.

Tim Walz, I've been told, has been given explicit instructions. You don't need to win this debate. Just don't lose it. And he has been told to follow the Kamala Harris strategy, which is what? Anyone in the chat? Yes, you are correct.

How do I know that? Because I can read your minds, kind of. Don't say shit. Do not answer anything. I got the receipts coming up for you next. Because I say stuff, I back it up. Unlike Kamala Harris. Hey, many Americans are tired and frustrated

by a stalling economy, inflation, endless wars, and the relentless assault on our values. Thankfully, there's companies like Patriot Mobile that still believe in America and our rights. I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile. I have for years. Why? Because we're on the front lines fighting for our rights, our military, our veterans, fighting for life,

Thanks, Patriot Mobile. Here's what I'm talking about. The instructions have gone out. Trust your boy, Dan.

There's a reason we're number one in live streaming. There's a reason we're your home for conservative news right now. And the reason is we never bullshit you and we always back it up. Explicit instructions have gone out to Kamala Harris and Walls from their focus groups and their campaign teams. Do not say anything of substance at all, because if you tell the American people who you are and what you want to do, they will be repulsed. Sex changes for prisoners, government takeover of health care, evaporation of private insurance plans. None of this is going to go over well. So they've been told to shut up. Here's what I mean. Here's Kamala Harris walking on the plane yesterday, right? Comrade Kamala is

in the middle of this huge crisis. She is the vice president while portions of the country have drowned. Hundreds of people are missing, over 100 are dead. There are communities wiped out in critical, critical states for our country, for our national identity. You think she'd have something to say about it? She gave some scripted bullshit over at FEMA office. She read off the paper and walked away. Here she is answering questions. No, no, guys, that's the one she answers questions.

Just around the corner. You could... and walk through here she is answering questions no no guys not just once she answers questions you could wait this isn't the way it's the way this is you know i listen i you can't really work with a good staff my staff is clearly incompetent i just sent you the one now justin's informing me that oh this is, okay Justin's saying this is definitely the one you sent. I'm sorry folks. She didn't answer. She waved, she should have just given everyone the middle finger like Tim Walz did in Michigan. There she is up on the plane, got the glasses on.

Don't bother asking me about the hundreds of people missing in the entire, there she is again. One more time. You sure on the, this is the fifth time on loop. Anyway, let it go woman the next time she'll answer the question. This is just, you know, these are all different, these are all different, this is not time on loop. Midway. Let it go, woman. The next time she'll answer the question. This is just, you know, these are all different. These are all different. This is not actually a loop.

This is the one from yesterday. Here we go. She stopped. Okay, she's still flipping everyone off, giving you essentially the middle finger, walking up on the Air Force Two. There you go. She had the opportunity to show some leadership.

Again, we were told by the left wing media after Katrina that optics mattered. Correct. That George W. Bush was Satan was like the devil was had six, six, six in his scalp. And his middle name was Damien because George W. Bush, despite what the Democrat governor and mayor of New Orleans didn't do to help their own citizens, that George W. Bush. Well, I'm no Bush guy either, but George W., I think you know that, was the only one responsible. And the optics were bad. Flew over and he looked down. She didn't even fly over. She got on a plane and pretended to... Hold on a sec. This could be... I have... Oh, this is great.

Hold on. Don't even go. If you're missing this, tune in to Rumble. You wonder what all this crap is in here. It's a bunch of stuff we have. Here. Wait, here we go. Eventually this will come out.

Yes. Look at this. I got it. I got it. I got it. Let's be Kamala Harris. You guys down for this? Let's take this off for a second. Here's Kamala.

Here's Kamala. Hello? Hello? Hello? Just pretend you're talking. Oh, Governor, so good to talk to you. What's going on down there? Well, we have hundreds of people missing.

We have hundreds. There's been a massive flood down here. There's a huge crisis. Town's been wiped out. That's you talking, Kamala. That's not the governor. Just pretend. Kamala, we took the picture.

Hold on. Did you plug the thing? Wait, Kamala, that may be an iphone it's just the wrong plug this is kamala harris this is where she's she doesn't even have the freaking thing plugged in uh hello governor hello there it is there's the picture right there ladies and gentlemen let's play here i'm talking to kamala harris just like she's talking to go hey um um madam vice president you think it would be a good idea as the second most powerful executive in the country to maybe do a little bit more than fake a phone call and write on an empty... Here, here's the writing.

You want to do this? She's writing on an empty piece of paper. Here, let me do Kamala Harris. I'm going to take some notes, folks. Here we go. Here. The drinks are even plugged in. Want to see my notes?

Here you go. It says notes. There's my notes. I thought about it. Believe me. That's Kamala Harris. There you go. There's your vice president, folks. That's right. That's what you want to go home. That's Kamala Harris. There you go. There's your vice president, folks.

That's right. That's what you do at 4.30 when you want to go home. You're right. That's Kamala Harris. We were told optics matter. Plug the freaking headphones in next time, Madam Vice President,

and maybe stop and answer a question and stop pretending you're talking to people on the phone. question and stop pretending you're talking to people on the phone. It's why also she won't give a freaking answer about anything and answers every question she's asked with the, you know, I was raised in a middle-class family. She was not raised in a middle-class family, folks. By the way, this drawer is a mess. You got to see this thing. Family folks. By the way, this drawer is a mess. You got to see this thing.

You're probably wondering what the hell we got. Extra things here. My daughter gave me this thing. Extra things here. These are some nitroglycerin tablets or nitro. These are some oil absorbing sheets for your face. You got the forearm exercise machine here. Some pen stuff.

Sorry, you probably can't hear anything. Let me off the mic. The woman is incompetent. She can't answer a damn question ever. She appears on a podcast yesterday. You know why? Because Trump is kicking her butt on live streaming. And most of the kids right now, note to cable news companies like CNN, most young men and women, basically anyone from 25 or younger, they're not watching

cable news, folks. They're watching streaming. So Kamala Harris decided to go on a podcast yesterday and she's like, hey, man, listen, I'm going to start reaching out. I'm going to take the Donald Trump approach. I want you to listen to the answer yet again to the question about what she's going to do about the economy. The instructions went out. Don't say shit and falsely tell people you were you lived in a middle class family, a middle class neighbor. We lived in a foo foo area. Check this out. Show to a whole entire company. What is your kind of your economic plan moving forward for people who are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling for groceries and rent and homeowners? So, look, I grew up. So my sister and I were raised by our mother.

We lived for a long time in an apartment on top of a child care center. She can't answer a question. She can't answer a question. I'm going to play one more and I'm going to take a break for you. I'm going to show you a little piece of video from CNN. I'm telling you, this is the debate strategy tonight. You don't have to listen to me. I always bring the receipts.

Here's CNN saying what I'm telling you. That Walls has been told don't say shit tonight. No matter what, whatever you're asked, just refract the light and move in a different direction. This is their entire strategy from this point out. Check this out. Even last week, I was in New York at a fundraiser that Tim Walls was doing at an apartment there.

And he said, after I left the room, I heard he said to someone who asked, how's debate prep going? He said, look, I was trained as a teacher. As a teacher, we're trained to answer the questions. We tell our students to answer the questions. That's not what this is. So Walls really trying to fit himself into this somewhat awkward always thing of a nationally televised debate. He's not he's not going to say anything. I would expect every single answer to be a misdirection from the question posed. And CBS, I promise, will cover for them. And they will fact check tonight, which means they're going to lie

and J.D. Vance will wind up debating three people. Folks, they are really priding themselves on ignoring you. They don't care. I've got more receipts coming up.

who's a surrogate for Harris, who is another absolute know-nothing, Gina Raimondo, with, again, one of the dumbest answers you've heard all year.

TNUSA.com slash Dan. Thanks, Tax Network USA. We appreciate it. All right, back to the show. They pride themselves on not telling you squat, folks. All you have to do is listen to them. I'm here to gather the information for you. Here is leading surrogate for Kamala Harris

and the Biden Commerce Secretary right now, Gina Raimondo. If you remember just, what was it, two weeks ago, said she didn't know what the Bureau of Labor and Statistics was. She was unaware of it. Here she is. There's a major port strike that is basically

going to shut down the American economy right now as all these goods are going to be locked up from actually docking in a port. Here's Gina Raimondo. She's like, you know what? I'm not really focused on that right now. I mean, why would you be focused? You're only the freaking commerce secretary. You know, commerce, trade.

Why would you be focused on that? Watch this. Where have you been kind of focused and hearing on what would happen if the strike goes, let's say, longer than a week? and hearing on what would happen if the strike goes, let's say, longer than a week? Again, I have not been very focused on that. You're probably saying to yourself right now there's no way she said that. Fellas, did she say it?

We did not manipulate this in any way, folks. This woman is clueless. She is just a, I mean, she is a one-woman soundbite for the Republican Party. What about the BLS numbers, Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing that the Biden job numbers have been revised down?

I'm not really familiar with the BLS. You're not really familiar with them. You're the freaking Commerce Secretary. You understand this is a surrogate for Kamala Harris, probably handpicked by her. They are priding themselves on telling you nothing. You know, I was in a middle class family growing up.

We get it. You've said that. You've told us a thousand times. You were not actually a middle class family, but whatevs. Can you answer a question? Here's another one. Mayorkas has asked a question about these disastrous floods, which happened. They are tragic.

They have wiped out entire towns. You would think this guy for a second would avoid the whole global warming hysteria bullshit. We've been told that AOC and John Kerry and Al Gore and these other goons who profit, by the way, off of a lot of this bullshit? Nope. Here's my orcas. I want you to listen to the end of this. Given the opportunity to answer the question as to why his government sucks so bad at getting people help over there, pivots immediately to the global warming hoax. Check this out. Is this a systemic problem? Is this something that is going to be more and more

normal as we see more and more devastating storms? What do you say to people who are desperate to find out whether people they love are still alive? I well understand the concerns expressed. These are people in the midst of a tragic hurricane. That is precisely why we and others have been deploying communications resources to ensure that communication is reinstated as quickly as possible. The reality is that the severity and frequency of extreme weather events are only increasing. Folks, they do this on purpose. I want you to understand you should be proud of yourself. Chin up, chest out, shoulder blades back. Be proud of yourself that you are not a moron like these Democrats.

I'll show you what I mean here coming up in a second. They don't vote for anything of substance at all. They vote on feels and hope he changey and who gives them the sads and who doesn't these we're talking about a group of people who act like infants. Like if you give them like a lollipop, one of the dum-dums from the dentist office after their appointment for a cleaning, they're like, thanks, mom. They don't actually think anything through. And they're proud of that.

Here is an actress who is a big Kamala Harris Democrat. You ever heard of Julia Louis-Dreyfus? What was she, Chewy Dryfu this morning? I leave these guys a voicemail. And Justin, who's, I guess guess showing his age a little bit very has no idea who Chewy Drive who is he's like who's Chewy I said Chewy it's Chewy Chewy and we're Chewy I'm like Chew Chew like Chewbacca who's Chewy and then Guy's like you mean Julia Louis Drive is you never heard of she was in Seinfeld okay here she is bragging about how she just is

voting for the person who gives her basically good feels. But she doesn't actually know anything about the issues. This is who they are. And you are not them. Chest out, chin up. Check this out. You know, I'm not I'm not a politician. I'm not an expert on various issues that we're up against today. But I do know I do feel strongly about who our leaders should be as an American citizen. And I would really like it if the discourse could become kinder and more effective. And I think that that will be the case with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in office. And because I think they are people who are for the people. What does that mean? Kamala Harris doesn't give a shit about you

at all. She has unleashed murderers, sex offenders, convicted criminals, fentanyl traffickers, child sex traffickers. She is the actual border czar. Biden gave her the most important job, control the national security of the United States by not allowing evildoers into the country. And what happened? We now have 13,000 convicted murderers in the country illegally on the non-detained docket. While she's the border czar. But Julia Louis-Dreyfus, or as Justin would, Chewy Dreyfus. Justin's claiming, by the way, it's my voicemail, which it could be.

I'm sure there were people in my house yesterday. So if you want to snip the voicemail, folks, what do you think? For tomorrow's show, do you want to hear why Justin thought her name was Chewy Dreyfuss? We'll play part of the voice, but Justin, cut that for tomorrow, okay? Because we'll let him off the hook. She's not voting for anything. She's like, Donald Trump gives me the sads, and the other ones are for the people. She has no idea what that even means.

Now, contrast that with Donald Trump, who, again, you may not like the guy's tweets. Fine. You don't like the guy's attitude. Whatever. I don't really care. I'm not trying to marry the guy. I got my own issues. Okay.

I just want to elect the guy to run for president because I know his four-year record is better than these numbnuts in the white house now here he is down there in georgia yesterday showing up and it's like hey i'm talking to elon trying to work out some starlink connection while kamala harris is on the phone with her freaking headphones that aren't even connected to the phone check this out hospitals highways and cars have been plunged underwater entire neighborhoods have been turned into lakes nobody's's seen anything like it. And to every family that's been displaced here in Georgia and North Carolina, which has really been hit, we're going there also, and they don't have communication.

They don't have anything right now. We're trying to, I just spoke to Elon. I'm getting him. We want to get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever. And Elon will always come through. We know that. Trump's not even president right now.

And he's clearly doing more to bring attention to the issue of these people struggling. If they're still alive, people died down there. Then the president and the vice president. The president was on the beach sunning his nuts again. Kamala Harris was out at a fundraiser, some foo-foo fundraiser. Who was she with? Was it Demi Lovato or some of these other people that I see? It was like some

big foo-foo list of Hollywood entertainers. That's what she was doing while people were dying. She didn't know there was going to be a major hurricane called Helene. Did she miss it? Justin, you live in Florida. How long do you know about Helene? Like a week?

A week? Let's be generous. Say two days. What the hell was she doing? The answer is screwing around, what she always does. Folks, I'm telling you, the redline desperation right now is real. Your boy always brings the

receipts here. I don't leave shit on the table without backing it up. The Democrats are freaked out about two things more than anything. If they lose Pennsylvania and lose 20% of the black vote and 40, 42, 43% of the Hispanic vote, 25, 30% of the Jewish vote, the race is over. It doesn't matter what happens anywhere else. There is no math. I want to play this clip. This is MSNBC. Again, I always bring you some lefty stuff so I can't be accused of bias. I don't want anyone getting excited, no red wave bullshit. Execute, bring 10 people, period.

However, don't get down in the dumps when you see these polls in the last few days that are designed to decommission your brain from the mission. They're going to be like you know, decommission your brain from the mission. You can be like, oh, Trump's getting killed. I can see it already. Here's MSNBC saying, hey, man, listen, these Hispanic voters, Trump's doing, Kamala Harris is in real trouble. Trump's doing a lot better than even he did historically. Watch this. We ask a basic question of Hispanic voters. Which party do you more identify with? 37% now say Republicans,

49% say Democrats. But again, look at how this has shifted in just the last dozen years. In 2012, this was a 41 point advantage for the Democrats. It has come all the way down to 12 points, Kristen, a 29 point drop in terms of that gap there on which party Hispanics identify with in just 12 years. Folks, that's a catastrophe. That is an apocalyptic math problem. There is no way they are going to make that up

with suburban moms. There's just no way. Now it's time to just go execute. You can have the greatest battle plan in the world. You can go in there a 23-point favorite. Hell, Auburn's playing Georgia this week. I think they're down. I think the line spreads like 20-plus points.

I'm telling you right now, Auburn could win the game. They could lose the game. I'm just saying the way you win or lose a game is on the damn field. It is time now to go execute because if we lose, if we lose, the freedom apocalypse is coming the minute after they declare that race over. Folks, I want you to understand that censorship and weaponization of government is not a glitch in their system. It is a feature. a glitch in their system. It is a feature. They are now bragging openly about eliminating the First Amendment. I never in my life thought I would see things like this, where two Democrat nominees for the presidency of the United States, one a former first lady, one a United States

senator, a wealthy guy, and the Democrat nominee for president, John Kerry, where they would openly, openly discuss attacking using the weaponization of government and eliminating the First Amendment as an obstacle, as an obstacle to their censorship dreams. They are doing it openly. If they win, your freedoms are gone. And let me tell you something. You can vote your way into socialism. You can never vote your way out.

This is why I'm telling you we cannot lose this election. Here's John Kerry in a clip that went viral, saying something you never think you would hear before, at least openly. It was whispered behind the scenes. Now they're open about it. The First Amendment, forget it. We're finished if we lose. Because he thinks it's an obstacle to their propaganda campaigns check this out and i think the the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing

uh and it's part of our problem particularly in democracies uh in terms of building consensus around any issue. It's really hard to govern today. You can't, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact have kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree. And people go and then people self-select where they go for their news or for their information.

And then you just get into a vicious cycle. So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this. And, you know, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence. Hammer it out of existence?

This human filth pile was the Democrat nominee for president. Folks, I don't have to add anything to it textually. He just said it. So for all these people calling us conspiracy theorists on the left, oh, the left doesn't want to wipe out the First Amendment, explain what you just heard. You think this guy doesn't have influence in the Democrat Party still? I'm going to tell you probably one of the five most powerful people

in the Democrat Party also is Hillary Clinton. She is. She carried, right. Speaking of garbage people, here is another one who is highlighting for you right now. I want to go back to the beginning of the show. You're still doubting me on early voting? Folks, there is something big coming. Mark my words. Fl flags in the chat fellas ladies

flags in the chat they are telling you please in the name of all that's good just listen to them their dhs is saying man, the internet could basically go out on election day, DDoS attacks, denial of service. I don't know. Now you got Hillary Clinton speaking openly about another October surprise. She was the grand marshal of the October surprise parade in the 2016 election with the Russia hoax. Something big is coming. Get your vote in early. If you don't believe me, just listen to them.

Why do you think she's saying this? Check this out. The press is trying to be the press, be objective, be, you know, reporting the facts. The press needs a consistent narrative about the danger that Trump poses. Because, you know, people may still look at the danger and say, I don't care. It doesn't, you know, it doesn't affect me. I'm going to vote for him for X, Y, or Z. But OK. But at least people need to be woken up and given the facts about what he has done, is saying, and would do. And I anticipate

that, you know, something will happen in October, as it always does. You know, the Russians, as I said earlier, are very active in this election. We know the Iranians are active as well. Chinese uses TikTok, or they certainly did against Biden and for Trump. I think they're a little less pro-Trump right now. So you look at where people get their information, and they get their information largely from social media. And so the campaign is doing the best job it can to combat that, combat both domestic and foreign false disinformation. But I anticipate there will be a full court press in October. She's it, folks. She's just for those of you out there who in the chat a quick uh quick poll

boccino on the case who in the chat trusts hillary clinton i'm gonna guess the answer is overwhelmingly no with a big n in the chat okay no one unless you misconstrued the question. Hillary Clinton is a garbage person. She will do anything she can for her own personal aggrandizement or power. She has tremendous influence in the Democrat Party. Do you really believe in your heart of hearts, as the overused expression goes, Heart of hearts, as the overused expression goes. That Hillary Clinton is anticipating an October surprise just randomly. She just threw that out there. She's what, want me to tell you what she's doing?

Okay, that's what I'm here for. By the way, does the George Soros purchase of radio stations make sense now? Here's a tweet by Brendan Carr of the FCC, a guy who knows about all this, Federal Communications Commission. Now, does it make sense why they fast-tracked the George Soros purchase of all these conservative radio stations? They want to make sure when the October surprise happens

and it comes from overseas, overseas, folks, you get what I'm saying? That the truth about what it is, a PP dossier or something else, or a hoax letter, never comes out. What she's doing now is when this new collusion hoax or whatever it is gets launched in October, Hillary wants to say she's pretextually setting up a narrative.

She's going to go, look, I warned you. We knew this was going to happen. We told you. What did she say? She cited Russia, Iran, and China. I told you they's going to go, look, I warned you. We knew this was going to happen. We told you. What did she say? She cited Russia, Iran, and China. I told you they were going to do it. That's what she's doing. It's tactically evil, and it's brutally genius in how they operate.

It's the same reason I believe the DHS is also putting out right now that they may have internet problems on election day. That way when problems happen, they can go, hey man, look, we already warned you guys. Shame on you, should have listened. The Soros thing makes sense now? By the way, I've been very clear on my position on that because we're on radio.

For the George Soros radio stations I'm on, George Soros can kiss my ass. Kiss it. You can get right here. Right here. Lips. Kiss that ass. Kiss it. I don't give a damn about George Soros.

Cancel me tomorrow. Everybody knows where to find me on Rumble. We're the biggest live stream in the world I give zero shits about George Soros canceling me zero I've not lost a second of sleep over it because I can't be cancelled

because I got the Bongino Army behind me and Rumble and we own our own servers so we can't be cancelled people know exactly where to find me folks they're preparing us for something big I want to tell you something else too because I'm getting this from very reliable sources People know exactly where to find me. Folks, they're preparing us for something big. I want to tell you something else, too, because I'm getting this from very reliable sources.

And I'm talking about sources with no political axe to grind whatsoever. If anything, they are ferociously loyal to President Trump. I'm telling you that with the purest of hearts and with absolute candor. Folks, this Trump-Iran threat is real. I don't care what other people are telling you. I don't because I... You just have to trust me on this. I can only say so much.

The Trump-Iran threat is real. I want you to look at this true social post he put up. He is getting briefings, and I'm not talking about IC briefings where they're obviously intelligence community briefings, where there's obviously an agenda looking to tie him up, like they did with Russia. He's getting, I can't say anymore. He's saying now about the Iran threat, how the secret service is interfering in this election, that there's a very real threat out there, that they're

drawing people, that they're drawing all these people, they can't do these events. You can read the true social posts yourself, but he's clearly indicated that people he trusts and people I trust have told him the Iran threat is real. Folks, we've got to remember, it only takes one crazy person willing to die who really doesn't care about money or anything to be honeypotted into this. Now, again, if you think all of us are crazy, fine. The show is not for you. You can move on. I'm not offended. You think Don Jr.'s crazy too? It's his dad.

Here's Don Jr. Why you wouldn't trust him, I don't know. On Maria Bartiromo's show, because there are trusted people, you know what I mean, briefing him too, that this shit is real. Check this out. Because you've gotten information from the FBI that Iran not just wants to take down President Trump, but his family as well.

There is a direct threat on you and your brother. Is this correct? That is correct. I guess the logic being if they inflict the kind of damage to someone's family, they get the effective disturbance to the campaign, to my father, to that mentality without perhaps eliciting the response from the U.S. government. I've been told that not only by the FBI, but also by members of Congress who are read into these kinds of things. They can't obviously give me certain details, but they're like, you guys better take it really seriously. So. I'll trust the FBI and believe me either day, but he cites some other people there. This threat is real. The secret service should have a long time ago planned for this. And they didn't. By the way, a fireman reached out to me, who shall remain nameless. Folks, be on alert.

A terror alert apparently went out to the fire department, an unspecific one. But it seems to be pretty ominous in the level of threat for New York City. It's going to be an October surprise. Get your vote in now and get that thing tallied. Folks, thanks again for tuning in, making us the number one live stream in the world yesterday. Sorry if I get distracted sometimes. I just show I have fun with the show.
