We're working on some stuff. Again, we're building out the studio, so have

some patience with us. We appreciate it. Last night was a total mess. Again, folks, I keep telling you, everybody's waiting for this big, huge bump to come out of the Democrat National Convention. Every night, they're like, yes, it's going to be here today. I have been objective about it. Have I not? I do not like Democrats. I am not a Democrat. I can't stand the Democrats. I do everything to stop the Democrats.

However, if they do something that's going to work for them, we got to know how to counteract it. The Obama and Michelle speeches, Barack and Michelle speeches, yes, they were pretty decent for the Democrats. They may get a little lift out of that. Last night was a mess. Bill Clinton, who typically is a pretty good, can be a pretty good speaker when he wants to be, was a disaster last night. A lot to talk about.

And folks, I know I say this a lot about the Secret Service story, but it just got crazier yesterday. I told you the question a while ago was, who is this guy working with?

Everybody go visit their website today. All right, fellas, let's go. So I'm going to get to the Secret Service story in a minute, but I'm obligated to cover this absolute shit show last night at the DNC. It was a mess. The soundbite of the day from the DNC is a cabinet-level official in the Biden administration, the hapless Gina Raimondo, formerly of Rhode Island.

You want to talk about a moron. Imagine saying this on live television you know the jobs numbers were revised down by nearly a million you can call it whatever you want dip wads whatever you'd like on the left it is a revision down meaning whatever jobs Biden has been touting minus nearly a million off that that's a fact it's from his bureau of labor statistics it's not a Donald Trump campaign slogan, okay? Here's his Commerce Secretary, Gina Raimondo, on a live television show, claiming she's unfamiliar with the BLS. You work in the cabinet. You were the Commerce

Secretary. Maybe familiarize yourself with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Watch this. When you hear that, do you potentially think that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign? No. When I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful. It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor. I don't, I'm not familiar with that.

Holy. Folks, this is a cabinet official in the biden regime what did i tell you yesterday about the democrats ladies and gentlemen they lie about everything dan what's she lying about folks come on you know what i'm talking about i don't mean to sound like a jerk but gina ramondo knows what the bureau of labor statistics is she's just lying many times do I have to say this on this show? There is nothing the Democrats tell you that's true. And by the way, I'm praying I get to this later. If not, I'll get to it tomorrow.

But it is a banger segment I put together yesterday. You will never have this kind of communism without a compliant media. How the hell does that woman in the media let her get away with that without saying, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You are a cabinet level official in the Biden administration

and you're claiming you have no idea what the freaking BLS is? You should resign right now. I don't want to waste too much time on the DNC, but here was Bill Clinton last night. Again, one of the greatest cell-owns of the night. Self-owns, not cell phones. Self-owns of the night.

Horrible speech. Folks, I have to tell you, when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. You know, I pride myself on self-correctives on this show. I've heard Bill Clinton speak for a long time. He's given some banger speeches in the past. I mean, it's all BS. We get it. They're all lies.

It's all nonsense. That's what Democrats do. I just showed you that. But I'm not going to spin your wheels. Clinton can typically give a good speech when he wants to. Tonight was, last night was on one of those nights. What a mess. It dragged on for 27 minutes.

People were falling asleep. It was supposed to be 12 minutes. He sounded hoarse. He sounded terrible. And this is the line he thought was the banger that unfortunately for the Democrats made everyone again focus on age. But who's in

office now? Joe Biden who's older than Bill Clinton. This was really dumb. Watch this. Two days ago, I turned 78, the oldest man in my family of four generations. And the only personal vanity I want to assert is I'm still younger than Donald Trump. Last night. last night notice all these morons clapping not realizing that the guy in the white house right now is in their same party is so old he has some kind of cognitive malfunction that was so bad

that their own party forced him out and put in a 60-year-old woman who never got a single vote for president. I'm not sure this was the laugh line Bill Clinton thought it was. Because the next question I would have, well, if age is an issue, why hasn't Biden resigned? And second, if age is an issue and you guys booted Biden out because of his age, then what the hell did Kamala Harris know? Bill Clinton's usually smarter than this, man. This was just dumb assery like I've never seen. Folks, this thing I'm telling you has been a loser for them. Go to the go to playbook and Axios, these communist websites. The media are all complaining. They're sharing space with influencers. They don't like it.

This thing has been a mess. There's been a couple of moments for him. Again, the Obama speeches went okay. Walls' speech was all over the place last night. Again, this guy is such a bullshit artist. I've never seen anything like Tim Walls. He's faker than Kamala Harris. Here he is last night speaking after Bill Clinton. Anyone know where he went to school? You have any idea, guys? I think he went to a law school. Anyone, Jim?

Yes, he went to Yale. And many of the speakers last night at the DNC were big ass kissers to the Ivy League and went there too. Which makes this the weirdest flex I've ever heard. Here's tampon Tim Walls, king of the Doritos. Here he is last night bragging that he's a school teacher who never

produced the kid smart enough to go to Yale while the speaker before him went to Yale along with many other Democrat speakers who went to Yale before. Dumbest flex I have ever seen. And this is why the dumb ass Democrats are flatlining on this garbage convention. Watch this dumb assery. I had 24 kids in my high school class and none of them went to Yale. You're proud of that? I don't understand. Like, I thought that was what all you liberals aspired to. To send your kids to the Harvard, Yale. I thought that's what Dartmouth, right? That's what it's all about.

So you're bragging that, number one, you're not a good enough teacher to get your kid into an Ivy League school when the guy who spoke before you went to the same school you're now shitting on. Folks, I'm telling you objectively, because we have to know how to battle back tactically when to fight, when to poke, when to move, when to flex, when not to flex, when to flank. This thing has been a disaster. We'll see what happens with Kamala Harris's speech

tonight. Obviously, I'm on it. I'm not going to wait. Here we go. 10 minutes. I promised I wouldn't waste any more time. Moving on, because it's actually important stuff to talk about, and that's not it. But it is a news show, and I covered it. So there you go. Did my job.

We're done. Last night sucked, objectively. Folks, the Secret Service thing is getting ugly right now. This video has emerged. Can you just run this on VO? Just loop it for a few minutes. I want people to see this. Here is the assassin

at the Butler County, Pennsylvania murder site, Crooks. We just keep this on loop for a minute. Now Crooks is walking around at this site. This surfaced the other day and this has been all over the media. Apparently one of the vendors didn't even realize he had this,

got it, turned it over to law enforcement. Now it's made its way around the media circle. Now, I'm going to tell you something here. This is a strange looking guy, okay? Now, okay, I don't want to screw this up. I'm sorry, folks. I really don't want to mess this up. It's really important.

I don't want to reveal any secrets either. So I'm going to delicate kind of balancing act, given my prior profession. either. So I'm in a delicate kind of balancing act given my prior profession. The Secret Service spends an inordinate amount of time training people on behavioral indicators in the protective intelligence space. Guy, if this segment sucks, just tell me to shut up, okay? He's good at this. The protective intelligence space is how do we find an assassin before an assassin finds us? Well, some of them will actually tell you, I'm going to go kill the president. You go find him.

Most of them don't. Most of them don't. Most of them you have to pick out. There are behavioral indicators. Out of an abundance of caution, I hope you understand, I'm obviously not going to put out on the show because then if there's a potential assassin, they'll record this and then not do those behavioral indicators. So be irresponsible of me to do that. However, having spent an inordinate amount of time doing protective

intelligence, both in our Long Island office and in New York, I'm very familiar with this. This guy is strange. Now we know he was being watched for well over an hour at the site now I don't know if you noticed but again he's by himself didn't seem to fit he seems to be like oddly looking around but not actually doing or engaging with anyone it's just a very very strange thing and I'm again I'm being very cryptic here because I don't want to give away too much. How the hell was this guy able to navigate his way around this entire site without being interviewed by a protective intelligence secret service team whose sole job is to find guys like this? And where the hell was the CSU team? The CSU team is the counter surveillance team. It's pretty clear looking at this now, again, ex post facto,

but there are indicators here, if you know what I mean, that this guy was surveilling the site doing some pre-op intel. Where was this counter surveillance team? I'm going to get to that in a minute. But the most important question for today's show is who the hell was this guy working with or communicating with? I have a theory I'm going to throw out there. Now, I told you when I'm speculating,

I'm going to do it, but I'm going to do it based on evidence. I'm speculating and I'm indicating this is theory. It's an operating theory I've been working with. But as more information comes in, I'm pretty confident I'm going to be right in the end. Let me show you this first that cracked yesterday. New York Post. Trump shooter Thomas Crooks had encrypted messaging accounts in Belgium, Germany and New Zealand. Ladies and gentlemen, what the hell was this guy doing with encrypted messaging accounts in multiple foreign countries?

And at least according to the FBI and secret service, which I'm going to tell you right now, I don't believe I'm just telling you, according to them appears to have no significant digital footprint whatsoever. That's impossible to believe it's impossible. It's not plausible. There is some digital footprint out there.

They either don't want you to see, or they don't want you to find so they can pretend they didn't see it. You get what I mean? We do know now because the media is reporting you had these encrypted messaging accounts. Who is this guy communicating with, folks? I think this thing may be pretty deep. I'm going to throw an article out there that appears random, but it's not. It's a Jerusalem Post article from July of 2024. It's about Iranian intelligence operatives and how they recruit Israelis for espionage. One of the things they do is target young, kind of loner men who have no real relationship with women or anything like that. The celibate type, but it's not intentional, if you know what I mean.

And these Iranian women will target them in kind of what we would call honeypot operations. They've been doing it in Israel for a long time. You can read the article yourself if you'd like. Here's what I think could be going on here. And I want to just say in advance, I am not in any way suicidal. So everyone knows I love my life. New house is great.

New gym is awesome. Everything is good. Unfortunately, I'm only half kidding. Okay. The Secret Service is known about an Iranian intelligence plot to kill Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, was it the acting defense secretary, I believe,

at the time, or the NSA, and Donald Trump. They have known about it forever, for four plus years, five years, okay? They've known about this plot. How bad is this going to look? Everybody tracking me now? How bad is this going to look? Everybody tracking me now? How bad is this going to look if it turns out later this kid was part of some honeypot operation by the Iranians? They knew about an Iranian plot for years, still refused additional security measures while knowing about the Iranian plot.

And maybe this kid was a part of it. I'm just going to be candid with you. I'm about 60% on this theory. It's a theory. I'm speculating. It's a theory based on some evidence I've got and some things I'm putting together. But if they're hiding who this kid was potentially working with,

this would be a good reason why. Imagine knowing about a plot to kill Trump for four years. This kid's a part of it, even a satellite part of it, right? Becomes integrated into the plot, and they refuse security the whole time. It would be an apocalyptic-level security failure like you've never seen, and it would be criminal apocalyptic level security failure like you've never seen, and it would be criminal level negligence.

I mean, how do you miss this, folks? One of these things is not like the other. You see? Who was the dude with the sunglasses walking alone ahead of Crooks in that video, not trying to dodge? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I have no idea.

But I'm sure there's going to be questions all over the place. Susan Crabtree has another amazing piece about this too. And now you'll see why in the next piece, going back to what I told you in the beginning, why there was no counter surveillance team to interview him. You know why there was no counter surveillance team to counter him surveilling the site? Because there was no counter surveillance team to counter him surveilling the site? Because there was no counter surveillance team. Wait, what?

On your highest profile protectee up there with the president? There was no team. There was no team to stop him from surveilling the site because there was no team. I'll take a quick break and I'm going to get back to this amazing piece by Susan Crabtree, who's been all over this.

Burna, B-Y-R-N-A. When it comes to protecting your family, it's not just about having a firearm. Lethal force isn't the answer for every situation. Imagine an imminent threat comes to you and your family. Instinct may drive you to reach for a firearm immediately, but what if there are ways to defend yourself in the escalated situation without the irreversible consequences of deadly force? Burna is a non-lethal pistol launcher, equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo, can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. It's an incredible device. No need to go DEFCON 1. You just need protection to defuse the situation,

get the threat away from you. Trained with firearms for a long time. Let me tell you, the Burna pistol they sent me is easy to learn, easy to use, easy to operate. You don't own a firearm? Well, this is a good option to have. Made in America, legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and shipped right to your door. Go today. Get protected.

Back to Susan Crabtree's piece.

So now you saw the voice over there. We showed you the video. He clearly is out of place in this thing. There are a number of behavioral indicators, something seriously wrong. The cops caught it. Why didn't the Secret Service? Ladies and gentlemen, people have to lose their jobs.

I am really sorry. I am in a merit-based business. This show is good because we put in the work and we respect our audience and we never do lazy, stupid stuff. If we did lazy, stupid stuff, we wouldn't have a show and we'd be fired. How is it in the Secret Service,

whose job is to keep Donald Trump alive, that a guy was murdered and Donald Trump was shot in the head. And still, we know of no one who's been fired. We know of a resignation of the director. And now we know of a couple of people on administrative leave. What are they waiting for? Real clear politics. Read this article. It is amazing. It's at my newsletter, Bongino.com slash newsletter. Secret Service agents placed on leave finally after assassination attempt. Crabtree notes, the Pittsburgh field office, members of the Pittsburgh field office

who were placed, they were finally placed on leave. A different set of agents than the ones assigned to Trump's permanent detail. Those agents are still on the job providing Trump protection sources, say. They remain operational even though they too were deeply involved

in devising the Butler rally security plan. Folks, I am not trying to bust anybody's balls. I'm trying to keep people alive and safe and accountability in the government. I did not leave this job to go and let the government screw things up. Okay. I'm sorry.

My job here is to change government. Whoever was involved with the site security plan that day, whether on the DTD, the Donald Trump detail, or the Pittsburgh field office, should not be on the job anymore. There is no reason for them to be working. They failed. They missed it on the CSU. They missed it on the protective intelligence. They missed it on the counter sniper. They missed it on the site perimeter. They missed everything. They missed the warning signs. They missed it on the site perimeter. They missed everything. They missed the warning signs. They missed it in the site security room.

Nothing went right. There were at least 30 or 40 significant variables here that went wrong. Sorry, I don't want to forget to remember. They should not be on the job. My guess is they're protecting some people on the Donald Trump detail while throwing these Pittsburgh guys under the bus. Whoever was involved with this needs to go. Here's another piece of reporting. The acting director now, Roe, and other senior officials back in Washington

should share the blame, the sources argue. You think they're the ones who turned down the security knowing about this Iranian plot to kill Trump? The agency's top brass are almost certainly involved in declining at least some of the security assets requested for the Butler rally. Despite a heightened threat brought on by a specific Iranian assassination plot against Trump. Why is the director and his management team that are personally responsible for cutting and not granting security assets, despite the Iranian plot against Trump still working? Why are they still there? Show some dignity and resign or the DHS secretary should have these people fired.

Finally, one last portion of this. I've been reading you in on how they work without giving away operational details because you'll never understand this story otherwise. The protective intelligence teams at the site, if there's a threat, they will conduct the interview. They have a very specific skill set, protective intelligence agents. They know how to interview people to determine if they're a threat. How they do it, I'm not going to tell you. What they're looking for, I can't tell you.

The counter surveillance team, CSU, counter surveillance unit, has one job, to detect people surveilling the site. Like this guy, surveilling the site. Now, why didn't the counter surveillance team catch him? Because whistleblowers have come forward to complain that Secret Service leaders did not allocate a counter surveillance team. If they had,

the CSU teams would have intercepted and questioned Crooks as soon as he pulled out a range finder and held it up to the crowd. Ladies and gentlemen, sounds like something we told you a month ago now. You remember the show where we brought up where was the CSU team? There was none.

And then two weeks ago, when I told you a whistleblower had told me that if the CSU team was there, there's zero doubt they would have found this guy. The CSU teams are very good. I have zero doubt they would have found them either. However, there wasn't one. And that's why President Trump was shot in the head by a guy who managed to walk up on a roof, jump between rooftops, run back and down the roof after an hour of them looking for this guy. This is just unforgivable.

I got a special announcement. You guys ready? I just launched this on the team today. I told you I wanted to be a part of any investigative effort. I do not speak with forked tongue. Congressman Chip Roy reached out to me. Him, Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs, Eli Crane, and Corey Mills, who are a couple of barn burner members of Congress

who are no bullshit guys, reached out. And we are going to be doing a special panel, investigative panel on Monday. I will be doing my podcast live from D.C. with the crew here. We'll be doing about, I haven't settled in on the time yet. I'll have it tomorrow, but it looks like it's going to be a two hour special live from Washington, DC, 10 AM to 12. So if you tune in at the regular time, you'll catch it in the middle, but 10 to noon, Anita, let the McGroin crew know. It'll be a two hour special. And then after that, we'll be doing this panel

with these members of Congress where we're going to do a deep dive into this because we're not getting any answers out of Capitol Hill. And I told you, I'm not going to stop. I'm not going to let this story go.

I don't care who's posting on Twitter. Nobody's talking about it. Maybe you're not talking about it. I don't know. I'm talking about this every day. I consider it a personal obligation to get an answer as to who tried to kill Donald Trump and murdered Corey Comparatore, an American hero. That'll be this Monday.

So you'll get an extra hour of the show. But it will be live. Same spot. Nothing different for you. Folks, I told you yesterday on the radio show, not sure if I mentioned it on the podcast, and forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn. I don't think I am.

Trump is very, Trump's a brave guy. He is. I'll prove it to you in a second, but in case you have any doubts, but he's concerned about his safety. I don't think that's like anything crazy to say. He was shot in the head just a month ago, like actually shot in the head, not figuratively

shot in the head. He's concerned because Trump is a loyal guy to his detail. He'll say in public, like, Hey man, these guys are doing a good job. And some of them are. I'm having trouble with this because I don't want to say. I'm just telling you he's concerned. But he's doing it anyway. He went out yesterday, did his first outdoor rally. And again, you can question this guy all you want on his policies. You don't like his mean tweets.

It's a free country. I can't give you your opinion. I can give you mine now. But I'm telling you for a fact he's concerned about his safety. Play this video. I want you to see this. Here's Donald Trump yesterday. He's at his first outdoor rally. You'll see they have ballistic glass up now. A little late for that. They should have done it sooner. It's not like they don't know about ballistic glass. Someone's having a medical emergency. What does Donald Trump do? Walks outside the ballistic glass

right outside, totally uncovered, completely uncovered, walks up to the crowd to check on the person. Again, you don't know. Folks, I told you and I'll continue to tell you campaigns are sound bites and snapshots. And he did not do this for the campaign

he doesn't because he does this all the time whenever there's a heat emergency at the site but i'm just telling you this guy is extremely concerned about his safety he is now secured by a ballistic bubble of ballistic glass around him and one of the first things he does at his rally is leave this bubble goes into this unsecured, at least open space area, and wants to make sure that this person having a medical emergency right there is taken care of. You think about them what you want. It's up to you. I'm just telling you, man, this guy's the real deal. You got an election coming up.

We love Trump! We love Trump! We love Trump! There he is, back up on stage, like a freaking boss. Like a boss. You know, and the only reason I told you that, folks, is not to give up inside info. I used to read comic books when I was a kid. It was like a way to escape the whatever, who cares. I never read Superman. I didn't think Superman was brave.

Superman was the man to steal. Nothing could happen. What's so brave about that didn't think Superman was brave. Superman was the man to steal. Nothing could happen. What's so brave about that? I thought Batman was brave. Batman could get his ass kicked. He was just a dude. You know why Trump was brave in doing that? Because he is concerned about his safety.

That's why. All right, back to the show. Quick break, and here's what I want to get to. I told you the Kamala phenomenon was BS. I told you that. Listen to Brother Dan. I am not here to mislead you. I am only a soldier in this Bongino Army.

Here, I'm going to give you a generally right-leaning perspective and a left-leaning perspective. Unlike the goon commies in the media who will only give you one, here are two sides of the ideological divide telling you the same thing. Newsweek. Oh, this is from months ago. No, it's from like yesterday, August 21st, 2022. Kamala Harris is not leading in a single battleground state in Newport. Kamala, the phenomenon. Hope he changes back. They got the posters going.

The hammers and the sickles. It's back, folks. Hope it change. Part Deux. The empire strikes back. There is no bump. This is fake. This is all fake.

That's Newsweek. Newsweek. I mean, to the left of Lenin. Here's a slightly more right-wing perspective. Here's a clip from War Room, Steve Bannon's show. Steve Bannon is a political prisoner right now, so they have guest hosts filling him. War Room, here's a segment with the Rasmussen poll guides, right?

It's a really good segment. They talk about the polls that were showing you Kamala Harris is closing in. There's a slight problem with them because the methodology changed. What do you think the change was? Would you be shocked if I told you they're just sampling more Democrats? No, no. That is so crazy here. Listen. It was a brief, shiny moment where Kamala crossed over and was leading.

But now what do we see? This is yeah, that's what everybody's calling Kamala mentum. And it didn't last too long in our numbers. And I think the reason this chart's important is because I'm the only one putting it out. So I think this is maximum transparency. And the narrative in the media that's being shaped about Kamala Harris's polling is that it keeps getting better and better. But if you look at the blue line, she basically shot up to 45 and sat there between 44 and 45 the whole time in my numbers.

Now, what's different about me and everybody else is that I didn't change anything. And I think what's probably happening in some of these push polls that are coming out from New York Times, Sienna and ABC News and all these other folks, ABC News, the people, by the way, who own 538 and kick this out of the aggregate and now have Harris up for nationally. What's happening is I think that they're selectively changing their methodology. New York Times, Sienna actually came out about it this weekend and said, admitted basically that, yes, we think we're oversampling Biden supporters, but we are not using the 2020 recalled vote to correct for it. I don't know how many times I can say this and I don't say it to sound like a

tool bag. I say it out of respect because there may be still some holdouts there. Ignore the poll. Do you guys have that Washington Post piece, Trump's chances of winning or approaching zero? Please, guys, ladies. The polls have predicted a Donald Trump loss the last two elections.

He won the first one, and the second one was stolen. Not only they predict a loss, they said he had zero chance of winning. Forget the polls. We have been absolutely, resolutely consistent on this. Here, Chris Silliza, Aaron Blake, October 2016. Donald Trump's chances of winning are approaching zero. Ignore the polls.

They are meaningless. They matter for one reason, which we've been talking about forever. Influencers and donors like them. That is it. And yes, I would rather be ahead of them than behind. Because donors give, oh, let me see some polls. Oh, good, I'll write you a check. Money matters in politics.

I wish it didn't. That is it. Ignore them. What is our job right now going forward? What's the word? This is a test. I'm watching the chat. Does anybody know?

What is our job from this point forward? Execute. That is it? Execute. That is it. Execute. Ruthlessly execute. Not immorally, ruthlessly. I don't care what happens from now to election day. Your job is to go out and vote and take 10 people with you.

And you are going to bank your vote. Please, do not wait. They're going to shut this thing down on election day and claim some cyber attack and you're going to get screwed. Bank your vote. Take 10 people. Execute 10, 10 and 10. Look at his chat. Lighten up. Execute. Yes, execute yes the Bongino Army knows the Bongino Army knows take 10 people with you folks this DNC has been a mess this Kamala bump thing is garbage

it is all shit they are lying to you and they're making it up they have a problem they cannot escape I've really grown to like this guy on CNN yeah he's yes vote yes, vote early. Yes, vote early. Execute 10-10-10.

I love you guys. That's why I love the chat. That's why I feel like I'm not the general here. That's why I feel like I'm just part of it. We all think like we're all, we got a mission here. The esprit de corps here is strong. This guy over at CNN

is the resident Republican counter voice, this guy Scott Jennings, and he goes on these panels and he's not afraid to tell these guys they're morons. And I got to tell you, I really appreciate it. It's good to have a Republican at CNN talking to Democrat losers because who knows, maybe we'll steal a few of them. I mean, Fox has liberals on there. There should be Republicans over at CNN. In the past, they've always hired fake Republicans.

This guy seems to have his head on straight, though. Here's Jennings talking about it to DNC. The reason that Kamala Harris is getting no bump from this at all is they can't message it. If they message hope and change, she has to answer for what she did now. If she answers for what she

did now, she's accountable for what she did now and Joe Biden's 37% approval rating. Folks, there for what she did now. And Joe Biden's 37 percent approval rating. Folks, there's no solution to that. Listen to him describe exactly this. Check this out. Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years. And for all of the talk about division and the problems in the country and people are hurting, Democrats have mostly controlled this country. Trump had it for four. The Obamas and Biden had it for the rest of the time. And somehow it's still all Trump's fault. And somehow she hasn't been at the center

of it. So to me, that's still the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn't yet been solved at the convention. How do you explain all of the problems that will be solved by the person who is currently in there for the last three and a half years who is supposed to already be working on solving it? They don't have an answer for that. You understand it's not a fixable problem. There are fixable problems. There are fixable problems. There's ways to message things. You know, Obama, when he changed his stance

on gay marriage and stuff said he evolved or whatever some people believe it some people don't what kamala harris can't do right now and why this is not solvable oh dan she could just say well i renounce all everything joe biden did when i was there and we're going to do things different she can't she needs supporters of joe Joe Biden and there are still some left and he's still the president. People are still afraid of him, folks. The promises have been made. She can't denounce him.

This is what I've been trying to get at. The black cloud hanging over the DNC. It's not that they won't escape it. It's that they can't. DNC. It's not that they won't escape it. It's that they can't. If she throws Biden under the bus completely, the entire establishment wing of the Democrat Party, people who've been promised things by the Biden White House, are not going to be happy. And then people aren't going to believe it. They're going to say, well, why didn't you say something to Joe Biden when you were the deciding vote on the Inflation Production Act? Why didn't you say something to Joe Biden when you were out there on the road?

Remember that clip we played the other day? It's Bidenomics and it's working. Well, why didn't you say something back then when you could have had some balls? There's nothing she can do, man. Don't believe the hype. Just go out and execute. Ladies and gentlemen, everything they do is fake. Nothing is real.

The Kamala bump is fake. The poll numbers are fake. The fine people thing is fake. They're lying about tax rates on the rich are fake. They're lying about jobs is fake. They're lying about tax rates on the rich are fake. They're lying about jobs is fake. They're lying about everything is fake. Here's this CNBC clip is gold. This is just watch the fake job numbers.

Ladies and gentlemen, everything is fake. I want you to watch this. This is quick and sweet, but this is good. Check this out. You know, the range of how many jobs they would take away for a variety of reasons, maybe the largest is the birth-death model for businesses, was going to be somewhere between 350 and 1,000 and 1 million. It comes in at 818,000.

Folks, shockingly, it gets worse. Not only were the jobs numbers revised by nearly a million, downward, downward. And listen, let's be factually accurate on this because you know the left likes to pick nits okay there have been revisions before it's not unprecedented and whether it's an explainable or not it doesn't we shouldn't get into like i'm going to say you're not going to like me for this but it's okay because i'm i owe you the truth and i'm telling you i know what i'm doing do not worry about how big of a scandal it is because then we'll get there here's why yeah i should should i do this all day on twitter liberal media goofballs are now like this isn't a scandal that's happened before. Why does that work for them? Anybody in the chat know? Because it

distracts from the fact that nobody's denying the numbers real. Who gives a shit if it's a scandal? All we care about is, wait, they're down a million jobs and that's what we should be focused on. You'll get into this rabbit

hole all day. Is it a scandal? It probably is. I don't trust the government as far as I can throw them. I have zero doubt it's a scandal. The point is it doesn't matter. Nobody's disputing the fact that the bank was robbed. You can dispute the amount of money. Oh, it was $10,000, not $5,000.

Who cares? He robbed the bank. Please don't get lost. Everything is a lie. Everything they do is bullshit. Here's another one. Here's the disgraceful. I've lost any, well, I never really had respect to lose.

But I was told, oh, this guy could be a more moderate voice in the Democrat Party. Piece of garbage like everyone else. Just another loser. Pennsylvania, how'd you elect this idiot? Here's this Democrat governor, Josh Shapiro. Should be absolutely ashamed of himself. On CNN, again, promoting the fine people hoax.

These people, but they want a race war. That's what they want. We're not going to let it happen. The left wants a race war in this country so bad they cannot stop promoting debunked racial hoaxes here's this piece of garbage check them out anti-semitism is what played a role and you not ultimately being selected as the vice president what's your response to that donald trump has absolutely no credibility to speak on that issue he is a person who's acted bigoted he is a person who spreads issue. He is a person who's acted bigoted.

He is a person who spreads hate. And he is a person who routinely divides people in this country. Listen, when folks marched in Charlottesville and quite literally said with tiki torches in their hand, Jews will not replace us, what did Donald Trump say? He said there are good people on both sides. There were not good people on both sides. Folks, everything, liberals out there, listen to my show. I know you hate me.

You want me dead. I have a whole portfolio of all your nasty grams every day. I get it. I'm just asking you a simple question. Are you ever not full of shit? Is there ever a point in your life you're not full of shit? Ever? Everything you guys do is fake.

Everything. Your positions on school choice, on health care, everything they're telling you is a lie. School choice robs money from public schools. Really? Spending on public education's gone up dramatically since I was born in 1974.

You could look it up, dipshits. Trump's tax cuts benefited the rich. They did? The rich paid a higher percentage of the tax load after the Trump tax cuts. Again, you can look it up. You're just too freaking stupid or too evil to do it. Promoting the fine people hoax.

You mean the same speech where he said, I completely condemn the white supremacists? Shapiro, you are a disgrace to Pennsylvania, the country, your family, your neighborhood, everyone. I'm horrified that a moron like you is a governor of a major important state like that. Folks, it's all fake. You want to hear them say it?

I almost screwed this up this morning. Right before the show starts, me and Guy are down. It's like this weird thing now because the studio, it's like most of it's empty because we're moving. So me and Guy are downstairs working out this Monday show and stuff. And Guy's like, oh, by the way, we don't have the 70 days clip. I was like, we can't do the show without it. This is the best clip of the show. You think the Democrats are sincere

and they mean what they say and they're genuine or authentic for the little guy? Listen to this clip. I may play this twice. Here's the Democrats at the DNC. They're like, hey man, just act normal for a little bit, and in 70 days, we can get crazy again. No, they didn't say that on an open mic.

On open mic, in an open forum. They didn't even care that you hear it. They were all fake. All of it. Watch. We got 70 days to act right, y'all. That's right. After 70 days, we can go back there and crazy.

Right? Let's do an encore performance. Again, forget about it. This isn't like an open mic like they didn't know. If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, the dude, guys, am I right? He's at a podium with a crew and people. It's not like he doesn't know. It's like he going, Dan, your mic is live.

Yeah, no shit. It's 1140. We're doing our live stream. Like he didn't know. They're bragging about this. Everything they tell you is fake. Jobs numbers, tax numbers. Everything they tell you is fake.

Everything. They are full of shit. At least Donald Trump is authentic. Watch again. We got 70 days to act right, y'all. That's right. After 70 days, we can go back there and crazy. Right?

Oh, and I promise you they will. Don't. It's not me. I didn't say it. I'm crazy all the time. I don't hide it. I tell you on my show. I got a little bit of...

It's okay. Fine line between genius and madness is the line. I'm like this all the time. It's okay. I'm not fake, though. I'm not fake at all. People meet me at the sandbar.

People meet me at restaurants. They're like, man, he's exactly like you. Yes, he is. Everything they're telling you is bullshit. But folks, here's a segment I've been dying to get to. You cannot have communism and the BS and the lies and propaganda that come along with it without a compliant media. You can't. It's not possible.

The media would expose them and humiliate them. Because our media are cut from the exact same BS cloth, propaganda cloth, this is how this stuff continues. The lies about the fine people hoax, the lies about the job numbers, the lies about taxes, the lies about health care, the lies about everything. Everything they do is fake. So Kamala Harris recently proposed, without question, a communist economic agenda item called price controls, where the government takes control of the economy and prices. Nobody's doubting she proposed this.

She proposed it without batting an eyelash because she's a communist herself. The left now senses a problem. What do you think that problem is? The left's problem is they're starting to realize that the American people are smarter than them and that they're just going to go look up price controls and they're going to be like, wait, that sounds like what they did in Venezuela.

It's like what they did down in Venezuela and then people were eating squirrels and stuff. I don't want that here. So Axios, a communist outlet themselves, realizes we got a problem. So Emily Peck, a writer over there who just absolutely humiliated herself, decided to write this article and put it in a tweet.

Don't call it price controls because if you control the language, ladies and gentlemen, you control the debate and you control the language, ladies and gentlemen, you control the debate and you control the minds of the whole country. So Axios, thinking you're stupid, is now trying to tell you price controls aren't price controls. She says don't call it price controls. How price gouging bans, which are price controls, really work.

Community notes from the top ropes, ladies gentlemen macho man randy savage style from the top ropes with the big elbow if i was younger i would drop right on this concrete floor boom hogan with the big leg remember when hogan dropped the big leg. Remember when Hogan dropped the big leg? Community notes. Thank you, Elon Musk. From the top rows. The same author, Emily Peck, called it price controls

when the UK proposed voluntary caps on grocery store profits. Axios also called it price controls when it proposed to limit how much Russia could profit off at a time of crisis. The ref is like, community notes from the top ropes. I was a big WWE fan back in the day when they they were still WWF, you guys are too young. My crew are like, who's the oldest, Guy? How old are you, Guy?

33. Yeah. Justin's like 17. Michael's like 14. These guys are young. Like you're breaking child labor law. No, I'm kidding. They just look young.

These guys look very young. Folks, you can't have communism without commies in the media. Axios, just delete the tweet and apologize. You look like absolute morons. Everybody knows what you're doing. You are fooling no one. No, I mean no one in the literal sense. Nobody, you're not fooling anyone.

This isn't the first time they've tried this, folks, the commies in the media. Remember this one from the Washington Examiner? Remember court packing? The Democrats are trying to do it now. Court packing is when you try to add justices to the Supreme Court. We have nine. It's happened.

It's not constitutionally mandated. We have nine. But that's U.S. tradition. Now, the reason we don't add justices over and over is because you'd have this endless war for a majority on the Supreme Court. Now, normal people understand this, and it's why both Democrats and Republicans mostly disagree with court packing. Almost all Republicans do. Because what would happen is Donald Trump would get elected and you'd say, I'm nominating nine more Supreme Court justices.

And then what would happen? The Democrats would win. And they'd say, we don't want 18. I want 27. And then the next Republican get in. We don't want 27. I want 35. Nobody wants court packing. It's stupid. Nine is fine. Nine works. We're working with nine. So when the Democrats proposed court packing and it was universally unpopular just like communist price controls what did the democrats try to do the media simply redefined court packing to defend biden media and the democrats redefined court packing remember that we covered this on the show when it happened in 2020. Like, damn, they do this a lot. Yeah, they do it a lot.

Remember when Biden had two negative quarters of growth, two economic growth? That's got a name in economics we've used forever. You know what it's called? It's called a recession. When you get negative growth over two, or shrink, it's not growth at all. When you get negative growth numbers, I should say, what do you get? You get a recession. It's been the documented textbook definition of a recession forever. So when we had two quarters of negative growth, i.e. a recession, what did the communist media do? Fox News, Biden White House talking points redefine recession and are quickly embraced by media outlets. Folks, you cannot have communism without a compliant media.

You cannot. And that's exactly what we have. And because we have a compliant media, they cover for a deranged lunatic administration that lies about everything because they can't have you see the truth. Folks, everything right now coming out of the left is bullshit. To hide what isn't. The problem is a lot of what's going on in the Biden administration they want to hide is not BS. It's real.

This is not a fake article. I had to look this up yesterday twice. I saw it in a screenshot and I thought, this is definitely fake. Photoshop, AI. So I went to the link and then I copied the link and then I emailed myself the link to make sure it wasn't some crazy spam thing.

This is an actual article. You want more of this? Fox News. Biden-Harris Department of Energy official calls for queering our nuclear weapons as part of a radical DEI agenda. Official says, queer theories about rejecting the tenet

that nuclear deterrence creates security and disarmament creates vulnerability. I don't know. He wants to know what it means. I have no idea. What does that mean? I don't know. It means if you vote and these people win, our country's basically finished. That's what it means. I want to end on a high note. This is a CNBC clip because some people are done with the bullshit. You know, Joe Kernan from CNBC. This guy's a pretty much down the line guy. It's not an ideologue in either direction.

He has this Democrat congressman on and the Democrat congressman's getting ready to bullshit about price gouging and communist price controls. Have you seen this? This is going to be you may want to nominate this for the end of the year. One of the top tens. Tell me if I love this clip. It may just be me because I love economics. Joe Kernan on CNBC is having absolutely none of this from the Democrat congressman when he tries to blame price gouging on all the inflation.

I'll end the show with this one today. Don't go anywhere. Watch this. This is great. Check this out. First of all, talking about competition and standing up against price gouging is something that reaches out, I believe, to everybody. We saw very tough years after the pandemic with supply chain issues. But she didn't talk about it.

She was very clear about that. There's a huge difference between talking about competition and making sure that we address ethnic and competitive behavior and price controls. If you look at grocery stores, the price margins are only 1%, 2%. And, Josh, you know that's not what caused the inflation. And for you to say it with a straight face, it doesn't help your cause at all. No, but Joe, talking about, as a capitalist, I believe in competition and making sure that there's actual competition. Why didn't the corporations gouge for 40 years if that's what caused it? How did it suddenly happen they learned how to gouge three and a half years ago

and it went to 40-year highs on inflation? And when you talk about unifying, being where you are, you may be unifying intra-DNC, but I can guarantee you what we're seeing in policies coming out are not unifying policies. And you must know that in terms of the populist economic... But Joe, you're not unifying to me. They're very

divisive. Well, I think we'd all agree that the other side has been clear about burning down the House and taking a much more extreme perspective. That's all I'm saying. No, we can't all agree. I don't think we're going to that the other side has been clear about burning down the house and taking a much more extreme perspective. That's all I'm saying. No, we can't all agree. I don't think we're going to have to agree to disagree.

We can all agree. No, no, we don't agree. No, we don't agree. Totally nailed to the wall. There's no price gouging going on. There's a flood of money rushing through the economy because Biden spent a lot and it's driving up prices. That's why. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. See you on the radio show here in just a little bit.

Oh, they're, they're, they're querying the nuclear. Good call. That's like, I didn't even see that. Good call guys. Is that fake? Is that okay? That is for me after that is fake. That is fake.
