Shownotes Transcript

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, we're averaging right now, what it is, is it an assassination plot every 21.62 days now?

This is insane. There is a Trump rally up in Nassau County, New York. I lived there for a long time in Wontore. Lived in Suffolk as well, the adjoining county. Trump has a rally up there. Yes, up in New York, which should tell you something. Winky, winky, nod, nod. The Trump team knows something a lot of people don't. However, putting the politics aside, just moments ago before we got on the air,

According to sources of mine and now breaking in the media, they found explosives in a car at the site. And the most incredible thing happened. Secret Service promotions came out yesterday and Dan Bogito, the judge, I nailed it again. And every single person in the management chain in their protective operations office got a promotion.

Yet we're averaging an assassination plot every 20.7426 days right now. How many times do I have to tell you this is, and this isn't even the last one. Nothing has changed. I'm going to prove it to you yet again. I've got that. Just more stunning news out of the Middle East. And that's actually related to the Secret Service threat too. The Secret Service can't even stop a guy in a woods. You think they're going to be able to stop a bunch of pager bombs? Are you kidding?

Use code Bongino. Big show for you today. Get that other one up there for me now. Also, at the FBI, how did they miss the alleged assassin in this case yet again? Or did they? Hmm.

Hey, do you know the reports of nearly a trillion dollars of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent? That's right. There is a massive amount of money the lame duck administration is pushing hard to spend in the last few months. Well, what's going to happen if they push those funds out? It's going to be another inflation surge, just like during COVID. I'm sure you remember the terrible effects high prices are had on most Americans and are having now. But here's hope a surge in prices can be beaten. A gold IRA from Birch Gold Group can be the ultimate inflation hedge for your savings in uncertain times.

Ladies and gentlemen, breaking now. I can't, I don't know what else to say. I don't know what else to say. They found explosives at another Donald Trump site. Daily Mail.

Cops find explosives in a car near Trump rally on Long Island after second assassination attempt. Thankfully, hat tip, the Nassau County Police Department and the site agent who got this thing in advance actually got away. But people were still likely in danger. What else has to happen? How many times is there going to be a life threatening incident?

Situation for Donald Trump before there were changes made in the management of the Secret Service. Folks, people just got promotions yesterday. There is a division of the Secret Service. You have protective intelligence, investigations. You have basically their internal affairs. Then you have protective operations. Protective operations is the branch of the Secret Service that runs, guess what? Protective operations has shocker operations.

Dude, what a coincidence. Do you realize yesterday the promotion list came out and all of the people in that protective operations branch got promoted?

The deputy assistant director to assistant director. One of the assistant directors is now the deputy director. If you're scratching your head saying, what the needs to happen here? I keep telling you, nothing is going to happen. Not with the Biden team because they never fire anyone. They don't want you to know how incompetent the government is, how the Secret Service management has failed. So they just let this happen. More breaking news from Susan Crabtree.

who's one of the few reporters who's been all over this Secret Service story. This is just, I'm trying to really tamp down the, this is astonishing. Did we not on this show tell you after Butler County, Pennsylvania, that if you don't have aerial dominance from a surveillance point of view and from an aerial dominance point of view in that you can keep an aerial threat like a drone in,

say a small plane that wants to crash in your site. How many times did we tell you after Butler County, if you don't have aerial dominance, you don't own the site. Did you all folks in the chat? Did you hear my show over and over? You don't own the air and you don't own what's underground. If there is something underground, like in New York where we have subways and stuff, then you don't own your site.

This is crazy. This is like nuts. We have to mention movies and stuff because the Secret Service is lack of imagination. You ever see that movie? You guys ever see that movie Salt with Angelina Jolie? She's the Russian assassin. How does she get the Russian president? Do you remember the movie? She goes underground in the subway, detonates, and he falls through the ground. It's insane that we've got to start citing movies to say to the Secret Service, you know that kind of stuff can happen, right?

You don't get paid to think, will it happen? You get paid to think, can it happen? Because if it can happen, you have to think of a way to freaking stop it. Drone surveillance using thermals and IR will pick out a guy on a roof and a guy in a wood line. How the do you not know this? Susan Crabtree tweet.

From what Ron Roe said yesterday, the Secret Service did not have a drone flying to surveil the golf course before discovering a man was lying in the bushes for 12 hours with a rifle pointed at Donald Trump. A source in the Secret Service community said, someone asked why the drones weren't used on Sunday, and Secret Service leadership said they weren't needed, and they did a good job. Oh, we got to take a break. I mean, leave the stream, but I, um...

I genuinely don't know what to tell you right now. I don't. I don't because I can't fix this. The Biden team's not interested, obviously, in anything I have to say because of my politics, which I understand. The Secret Service is obviously not interested in anything I have to say despite having seen every angle of this, having seen the political side, the security side, the PPD side, the training side. I'm telling you with certainty that

This is not even the last incident today, the one that happened today. There are going to be more because the people running the secret service. Damn it. How many times do I have to say this? I've told you I've been through this before. When they threw the grenade on stage at President George W. Bush for two weeks, there was a because they overran the magnetometers.

For two weeks, they were like, we got to get more magnetometers. And then you know what happened two weeks later? They went right back to normal. You know what's going to happen after assassination one? What happened after assassination attempt two? They went right back to normal. You know what's going to happen after the bombs are found today? Nothing. In two weeks, it's going to go right back to normal. I don't know what to tell you guys. If you're sitting there going, Dan, someone's going to get killed. Yep. Here, I want to read you something. This is important. What's that? Someone's talking to him?

Oh, well, yeah. Corey comparator voice. I want you, I want to read this to you. This is from, this is very important. This is from an agent friend of mine, because I want you to know that it is the management doing this. The guys on the ground do not want to be there with a freaking bomb next to them or a sniper in the wood line.

I know where you were sick of this, especially with the FBI. And I get it. Oh, the rank and file. I understand. I'm telling you in this case, it's true. You think an agent with a wife and kids who wants to go see his kid's birthday party or the soccer game wants to be sitting there with a guy with an SKS and a wood line. This is from a friend in the secret service. So very familiar. Let's just say.

Let your audience know that the good, brave, dedicated agents who gave their heart, souls, and health to the Secret Service are disgusted with the state of the management. They're a disgrace to the, and he mentioned some really good agents, good men who live with the embarrassment of the current incompetence every day. Pardon the language here, but this is his words, and I'd be remiss if I didn't read them directly. Fuck these clowns. Let them quit. Let them twist. Keep sticking it to them, Dan.

Thanks, bro. Obviously not going to say who it is. So folks, I'm sorry, but don't tell me this is everyone. It is not. These guys are tired of a management team who won't give them the assets. A guy sent me an email during my radio show yesterday or a message on the Rumble account and

And he said, Dan, the way I find my dog in the woods, he lives in a wooded area, is I send a drone up with a thermal and I find out where the dog is in 30 seconds. To the Secret Service management, I know you watch my show. What is it going to take for you to engage in a cranial rectototomy and pull your head out of your ass and realize that you're going to get the guy killed, the guy being Donald Trump?

And you're issuing promotions yesterday? I need some coffee. I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you. And yet the Secret Service management, guys like Ron Rowe and others, will make these little snide attacks directed at me just because someone wore the badge. Maybe I know what I'm talking about and you're freaking incompetent. Does that ever occur to you? Maybe if you would have listened to me about the drones because I don't have my head up my ass, then you wouldn't have had a guy hiding in the wood line for 12 hours.

Maybe if you would have pushed out your perimeter, you wouldn't have found some explosives again today. Here's another one. New York Post, Secret Service said it can't keep Trump safe on golf courses, even as Biden lounges on the beaches. This, my friends, is an embarrassing disgrace to humanity. The Secret Service, if they would apply minimal security.

A freaking drone in the air with imaging equipment. None of this would have happened. Why don't they do it? Producer Jim, because they don't want to. Because they don't want to. And they'll get a promotion out of this. Yet again.

Folks, this is an absolutely stunning breach of the trust the American people have placed in this entity. They are going to alter the course of American politics because they cannot do their job. I have had multiple U.S. Listen, Secret Service, I know you're watching the show. So listen and listen good. Turn the volume up right now. I know you're watching. Believe me, I know. I have had multiple members of the House of Representatives

Can't even count them on two hands. And multiple United States senators ask me what to do. There are two things that have to be done right now. And there's nothing, by the way, let me just tell you, Secret Service, we're running the ship now. You guys are done. You may think you're in charge. You're not in charge, okay? You are not in charge. You better pray your political cronies win this election because the agency, as you know it, is done. It's finished. You understand? You're not in charge now.

Investigations are done. They're done. You can't do it. You can't handle it. You've almost gotten a protectee killed, period. Your agent should not be conducting investigations anymore. Protection's your core job. Protective intelligence. You don't have to shut down your field offices. They can still do PI investigations, support for missions, critical infrastructure stuff. There is no reason to be doing investigations. That's done. You're not in charge anymore.

I know you think you are. Trust me, you're not. You have totally lost the initiative. Second, whatever bullshit you're doing with DEI, with your quotas, which there are a thousand whistleblowers to talk about and a legion of paper trail emails, paper files, that's done too. You are going to hire in the future quality people who can actually do the protection job. You guys can't do it. You can't do it.

And how the hell, by the way, we have this massive surveillance apparatus in this country. They're watching all these people do metadata collection. They have back doors to spy on the American people. How the hell do we keep missing all of the bad guys and only roping in all of the good guys? How is that? Wall Street Journal. U.S. authorities were warned about suspected Trump gunmen. Roost behavior had been flagged to the FBI in the past.

A tipster told the FBI Ruth had a firearm despite being a felon, but when questioned further wouldn't verify providing the information.

The Bureau passed the information to authorities in Honolulu and closed the investigation. Why did they close the investigation, folks? How is it that we give the FBI all this power? They don't have any answers on the Butler guy. They're targeting pro-lifers, parents at school board meetings, Moms for Liberty. They're targeting conservatives, the MAGA crowd, the Tea Party. Yet the FBI never seems to get the guys hiding in the freaking woods

with a high-powered rifle, with a scope on it, trying to kill Donald Trump. Every, he said it every single time. The FBI knew about the subject and did jack squat and jack left town. Folks, was this guy Ruth a deep state asset? If you're not asking that question, you are doing it wrong.

This guy fits every single pattern of a plot line we know is true. The Iranians and other foreign actors looking to recruit people who engage in assassination plots in the United States. This guy, Ruth, according to multiple, multiple media reports, was engaged in a similar type of recruitment behavior. This is just astonishing.

You see this just a news article too? Apparently Homeland Security was notified about this guy too. And another one, here's the crack, slipped through it. Amazing how this happens. Suspected Trump assassin flagged by the United States during return from Ukraine, but Homeland Security refused to probe. Folks, was this guy on one of these lists, kind of like a do not touch list?

Or is the FBI and Homeland Security just completely, totally incompetent? The answer, sadly, is I don't even know. Maybe both. It's just stunning incompetence. You understand this is only acceptable with the shit government. The government is shit. Nothing it does, it does correctly. The only thing it does in its mind, air quotes correctly, is target you for being a MAGA person.

I am, I can't believe this. No drone. Everybody gets promoted again. We didn't need the drone. We all succeeded. Ron Rowe does a victory lap. Everybody else is getting promoted. Raises, pats on the back, cutesy time retirement jobs. This is bullshit. I'm saying to the Biden administration, Biden-Harris, I mean this, record this one. He's like, we were, no, I mean you.

I'm willing to put aside, I will sign an NDA, whatever you need, whatever you need. I am willing to put aside absolutely every single partisan objection I have to your behavior. I care about this country. I care about your life. I care about Kamala Harris's life. I have actually the bona fides to back it up. I did it. You didn't do shit. I care about Donald Trump's life, Barack Obama's life. This is not a third world republic. We don't kill political leaders here.

And I stand resolutely now and forever against any political violence whatsoever. It's a red line you cross. You will never go back and you'll regret the day you did it. You want a civil war breaking out your kids, a parochial school around the corner. Good luck. I don't, I am offering to come in. I will speak to your people. I can tell you exactly what's wrong.

I will sign whatever documents you want. I will disclose nothing about the meeting. If you are even remotely interested in fixing this, I can give you a 10, 20, 50 point plan tomorrow to fix this secret service and make some immediate changes so one of you doesn't get killed. I'm as serious as a heart attack. I am not kidding because someone is going to get killed because the people you have in charge right now, I'm telling you, I know them well, have no idea what they're doing.

They weren't even that great of an agent when they were at the, these are, they don't know what they're doing. Of course, the media coverage of this has been absolutely atrocious. This is unbelievable. I'm playing a clip next. I got to take a quick break.

A clip by Piers Morgan, who, by the way, is no big friend to the MAGA movement at all. But he seems to be like the one guy in the not conservative ecosystem, because I think it's important we cover the whole spectrum, who seems to get what's going on here. That the media is providing coverage for the Secret Service and the FBI by constantly glossing over their failures.

Sorry, I'm a little frustrated today. I hope you guys are cool with it. Chad, you guys all right? You know, the show's for you. And I'm really trying not to be the angry guy, but this is just, I mean, imagine you're the best plumber in town, right? And some guy takes over your business and there's a flood in everyone's house. You'd be like, what did you do?

That was a business I was proud of, the Secret Service. We left a proud legacy, ruined by a bunch of idiots now. You can see why I'm personally pissed off about it. Cheers for a second. Blackout Coffee, folks. Listen, my Bongino Report mug, what a combo. Hey, you like the cold brews? Try this, Skip the Brew, Blackout Coffee, their cold brew, some of the best in the business. But here's the deal. The Skip the Brew cold brew is absolutely fantastic, but the beans are amazing too.

I started mixing them with the cinnamon French toast beans, and you get cinnamon French toast dark chocolate. You know why? I love both flavors of Blackout coffee so much. There's like a fight breaking out in my house over which one we should use every day. The blueberry crumble's amazing. The espresso's amazing. The beans are...

are fresh. They're not these low-grade crap beans from these woke companies that hate you and give you brown water. Blackout Coffee is a bold coffee taste, never bitter.

All right, back to the show. Folks, the media coverage about this, these security failures, the FBI's failure to detect this second alleged assassin, the Homeland Security entity's failure to detect the second assassin. We now have another situation brewing today at the Trump rally in Nassau County. We have the Butler County, Pennsylvania, no answers.

It's really stunning how the media, because the shots were taken at Donald Trump, and potentially shots taken again, a guy hiding in the wood line. Do you understand if this guy was sitting in a $25 ghillie suit from Amazon and didn't poke that rifle barrel out? You understand there's probably a 50% chance Donald Trump would be dead again. The chances he would be dead again, like he was almost dead the first time. Dead again, isn't that a movie? Dead again.

I try to give you various perspectives because I never want to be like a liberal. Liberals listen to the crap garbage in their own bubble, okay? And that's why they don't understand us. Piers Morgan's not one of us. He is definitely not a MAGA guy.

But this makes sense. He's on his show, and there's some wacko lady on there trying to defend the response of the Secret Service to the second potential sniper attack. And Pierce is like, are you crazy? In what world is this a success?

It's important people speak out or you're never going to get any political pressure for change. Check this out. It looks like the Secret Service got it together in ways that they very profoundly did not do the first time that he was here. I don't agree with that. I think one agent got it together. One agent had the...

the sharp eyes and the quick wit to deal with what was going on. But the truth is, if you hadn't spotted the barrel of that rifle peering out of the bush, Trump would now almost certainly be dead because the Secret Service once again had failed to properly protect the perimeter, which is the problem, which was the same problem with the rally when that kid got onto the roof.

Well, I would call this actual protection of the perimeter. That Secret Service agent did see it. It was in a suite before the president came out. But Louise, the guy had been there, it turns out, for 12 hours.

They found from his cell phone he'd literally been waiting at the number one vantage point where the media go at that golf course to photograph Trump when he plays golf because it gives them ironically the cleanest shot. In fact the only clean shot you can get at that course apparently. That's where this guy waited for 12 hours without anyone from Secret Service doing anything to find him.

Folks, that woman has no idea what she's talking about. She's throwing around law enforcement security jargon with no idea what it means. This is what happens when dumbass journalists find themselves as talking heads on shows and say stupid shit with no idea what they're talking about. I hear it all the time with economics. Now it's about security. It was not a sweep. Let me tell you how a sweep works.

The guy, or I don't know if a guy or a woman, the agent who saw the gun barrel in the woods was not engaged in a sweep. The sweep happens before the protectee arrives. How do you know that, Dad? I worked for the New York Times. Because I'm not a dumbass like you, and I actually did this. Here. Someone. He gave me this. Don Mattingly baseball. Actually, you know what? Here's a Trump one.

Let me show you how this works, folks, especially for this dope. Here's a never-surrender Donald Trump card someone gave me. Imagine this card is a site. The president's coming from Mar-a-Lago to go to said site. You sweep the site before he comes. You don't sweep the site while he's there. Why? Because if you detect a bomb while he's there, gee, does that work, the visual? Does that make sense?

For the media people? Does that make sense? The media people are still confused. If you detect a bomb while he's there, then the president gets killed with the bomb because he's there. Why didn't they sweep the golf course before he got there, Jim? Because they didn't want to. Cool card, right? You like that? Someone gave that to me at a book signing.

You don't sweep the site while he's there. You sweep it, you post it, and you hold it. Let me ask you all a question. If you were to sweep a golf course for explosives and then walk away, why wouldn't you walk away and keep a bunch of Secret Service agents there? Well, Dan, because a bunch of people could walk in and plant stuff after the game. Yes! Thank you!

Do we have to make Piers Morgan the director of the Secret Service now? He's not even a MAGA guy. Do you not get this? Of course, Hillary Clinton had to chime in on all of this, adding fuel to the fire of media people that really at this point, the media at this point, they haven't, what was it, Katie Pavlich or Dana Prieto? I don't remember who was watching someone. And they had said something to the effect of,

After Donald Trump was shot in the head, there was like a five-minute period where the media was like, maybe we shouldn't say so many awful, evil, demonic things about Donald Trump. Maybe five minutes. That was it. There isn't even a five-minute period now. Now they're at double-barreled middle finger F Donald Trump. Donald Trump deserves it. Donald, matter of fact, the triple barrel. We got to give him the triple. Triple-barreled middle finger.

Donald Trump deserved it. And Donald Trump brought the assassination attempt on himself. And if he doesn't shut up, I don't know, someone may kill him again. And it's definitely his fault. You've now got Hillary Clinton.

The most disgusting human being in Democrat politics. A person I worked with and had direct experience with who was the most demonic, evil protectee I ever had the misfortune of being around. A woman with not an ounce of morality who would throw you under a car in a second if you delayed her five minutes from getting from a second. The

meanest protect a woman who in the secret service getting assigned to Hillary Clinton's detail. If you didn't live in New York was considered a punishment assignment, just so you know, that's a fact. That's how much agents and everyone hated being around. Hillary Clinton has now decided to chime into. I'm going to take a quick break.

And I'm going to get to Hillary Clinton. It's our last break. I'm going to show you what's going on in Springfield too. So you know, folks, there's something really sinister going on behind the scenes here.

Folks, Hillary Clinton is a genuinely awful person. When she was running for the U.S. Senate up in New York, I had the misfortune of being around this woman and her team. They are just really, genuinely awful, terrible people.

Everybody hated working with her. It was a punishment assignment. She is mean. She's malicious. Her own staff lies and pretends they like her. When behind the scenes, we would go out after a trip sometime, they would tell you how mean and awful she was. She is a terrible person. You want to know about a threat to democracy? Look up the last name Clinton. There's no bigger threat to democracy than these two buffoons, okay? Here's Hillary Clinton. This is after...

the second assassination attempt, but before the third of Donald Trump, the one we've seen today, of course, right?

Here is Hillary Clinton after the second assassination attempt, basically pinning it on Donald Trump and then doubling down and claiming that, you know what, if she disagrees with your politics and you speak out online, that criminal charges should be considered. This actually happened. We are now living in the communist state. If the Democrats take over, that's not tomorrow, that's today. Check this out. Just as Mueller indicted a lot of Russians who were engaged in...

direct election interference and boosting Trump back in 2016. But I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda. And whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence. You understand what she just said? You have a United States senator, former first lady,

And a woman who was within a hair's length of the presidency was the Democrat nominee who is now claiming, if you disagree with her politics, that not only civil charges should be considered, which is humiliating enough for her to say and tyrannical enough that criminal charges should be considered. This is an actual quote. Listen to me. People out there considering voting Democrat. Listen, listen, please, please, please take the cotton out of your ears for a second. And please listen to what I'm telling you.

I understand your frustration with the Republican Party. I have it too. Republicans are probably not the solution to all your problems. I get it. I get it. I understand that. However, I'm here to tell you that the cause of your problem, the cause of your problems are unquestionably the Democrats. So you have two choices in an imperfect world, okay?

You can vote in a party that has a lot of flaws. Granted, I'm with you. I understand. I'm not here to defend what they've done. A lot of the government spending, a lot of the crappy expansions of government, a lot of the failure to secure the homeland, a lot of this is Republicans as well. They are not the solution. They could be, but they may not be right now.

However, the immediate cause of your troubles, censorship, boycotts, forced vaccination, the explosion in COVID and the failure to anybody to respond to it the right way outside of ridiculous mandates and all this other crap.

The national security issues we have overseas. The failure of the Secret Service and nobody gets fired. These are Democrats. The inflation crisis. The open border. The Springfield, Ohio immigration situation. All of this is them. We didn't do this. We may not have solved it. I'm with you. But we didn't do it. And in an imperfect world, sometimes you only have a binary choice. And in that binary choice, stop the bleeding first.

If you're out in the woods and you trip on a rock and open up your femoral, what is your immediate need? Stop the bleeding. Are you worried about the plastic surgery solving the problem you need to have your broken nose? No, that's not even a secondary concern. You want to survive. We cannot survive with these people. You have a Democrat nominee talking about throwing you in jail if you disagree with her politics.

She's saying this on a cable news channel and the news channel that should have immediately responded and said, we're members of the media with First Amendment protections, just like citizens. Mrs. Clinton, that's a disgrace. Senator, whatever you want to call her. Secretary of State, Madam Secretary, what you're saying on our network sounds tyrannical. No, they love it.

Folks, because we don't have a functioning media, questions are not being asked. Like, how the hell do we have two people, one alleged, one dead, trying to kill Donald Trump, trying to kill him with high-powered rifles, who managed to defeat the world's supposedly greatest security service, the Secret Service, and yet the world's elite investigative agency, of course, air quotes included, the FBI, no one seems to know anything.

On the FBI's radar, this guy Ruth, nothing happened. On DHS's radar, nothing happened. Kind of weird, right? It's almost like if there were a foreign plot to assassinate Donald Trump that they can count on deep state players in the United States to make everything go away. It's almost like they needed a distraction from these stories. And the Springfield, Ohio situation was the perfect one. You have a town deluged by illegal immigrants.

Of course, the disgusting, filthy left that is craving racial division in this country and racial hatred had to make a racial incident. Folks, nobody cares where these illegal immigrants are from. They care that they're here in the country illegally or illegally.

have been TPS into the country under a shady Biden program and dumping communities without the infrastructure to support it. Notice it's not their communities. Martha's Vineyard shipped these people right out. It's Springfield, Ohio, a town being inundated with people who do not belong there because they don't have the facilities to support a deluge of 20,000 new people. So it's awfully convenient.

that they needed a distraction, and all of a sudden, bomb threats to Springfield. Those evil Nazi Republicans are doing it. Really. Here was Governor Mike DeWine. Believe me, Republican, but no friend to us. Here's Governor Mike DeWine about those bomb threats. I want you to notice the part at the end where he says where these bomb threats came from. Check this out. These threats have all been hoaxes. None of them have panned out.

We have people, unfortunately, overseas who are taking these actions. Some of them are coming from one particular country. We think that this is, you know, one more opportunity to mess with the United States. And they're continuing to do that. So we cannot let the bad guys win. Our schools must remain open.

He's originated from a foreign country, folks. Perfect timing, right? Listen, there's something really sinister going on here. The Democrats are engaged in a vicious narrative war right now.

None of this is about the truth. None of this is about bettering your life. This is about one thing and one thing only. Keeping the American people who are not intimately involved in politics like you thoroughly distracted with racial nonsense and threat to democracy nonsense so that you don't notice the inflation crisis and the endless attacks on Donald Trump and the attempts to kill him.

I want you to watch this clip from Kareem Jean-Pierre yesterday. A hapless, hapless human being who I'm telling you right now with her rhetoric by their own lefty rules is inciting violence against President Trump. And she knows it. She knows it. She knows the language they're using about threat to democracy, a threat to democracy, fascist.

All of this tyrannical nonsense against Donald Trump. She understands this is creating an enhanced threat environment, likely leading to multiple attempts on this guy's life. I want you to watch with Peter Doocy here, how she tries to pull this fliparoo here and blame the entire thing on Doocy for asking the question. Never, ever fall for this. Ignore the answer and ask the same question again. Watch this.

since somebody allegedly tried to kill Donald Trump again. And you're here at the podium in the White House briefing room calling him a threat. President Biden has been clear eyed about the threat that the former president represents to our democracy. How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the president and the vice president and you pick a different word to describe Trump other than threat? Peter,

If anything from this administration, I actually completely disagree with the premise of your question. The question that you're asking, it is also incredibly dangerous in the way that you're asking it because American people are watching. And to say that, to say that from an administration who has consistently condemned political violence, from an administration where the president called the former president

and was thankful, grateful that he was okay from an administration who has called out January 6, called out the attack of Paul Pelosi, called out and said we need to lower the temperature after the Butler incident. And now for you to make that kind of comment in your question, because your question involved a comment and a statement. And

You know, it is that is also incredibly dangerous. Folks, I can't believe this woman still has a job. It's dangerous to question unquestionably awful rhetoric about a presidential candidate.

who now has had multiple attempts on his life. It's dangerous. You see what they do here with this flipperoo? By the way, this update is even more suspicious than the initial story. I'm following this as it breaks. Apparently, there's a news release by Nassau County Police. I got to read this because this is incredible. If this is true, I'm not sure what's worse, if it was an actual bomb or this story.

It says reports of explosives being found at the Trump site basically are unfounded. Okay. There's a person who's being questioned who may have been training a bomb detection dog near the site. The individual with the bomb dog falsely reported explosives being found and the individual is currently being detained. I'm not, I'm real, a training exercise. Fascinating how these training exercises keep happening.

A guy's training a bomb dog near the site of the president days after another assassination attempt. Folks, I'm honestly not sure what story is worse. I'll keep tracking this. This is, my gosh.

Who thought that was a good idea? I'm going to, you know what? I'm going to have to apply the Bongino rule. This, I'm sorry. I've got to get you to breaking news. As it happens, I will apply the Bongino rule before I determine which of these stories is accurate. And I'm going to tell you why. And this is the most unintentionally perfect segue you are ever going to see on the Dan Bongino show. Because when was the last time on the Dan Bongino show we heard about

A theory about a potential training exercise. Think. You guys know? Yes, sir. The January 6th pipe bomb attack against Kamala Harris, where I'm telling you they are going to come out and say, oh, yeah, those pipe bombs were just a training exercise when they weren't. I can't trust anyone. I can't. I can't trust anybody anymore. Everything these people tell you, folks, you almost have to default that the opposite story is true.

What the hell did they find there? You're telling me someone just randomly was conducting an explosives detection exercise near a Trump site days after an assassination attempt? Who the hell? I want to play this clip because I am assuring you that the January 6th pipe bomb attack against Kamala Harris is the biggest political scandal of our time. I've told you the story multiple times. What I believe happened

and why the Secret Service texts and emails from that day have disappeared. Kamala Harris was not at the Capitol during the certification of the votes on January 6th, folks. She left at 11 o'clock in the morning and came back at 7 o'clock at night. She was not there during the process, okay? Kamala Harris was at the DNC. A pipe bomb was found as she drove past it to get into the DNC, and she was evacuated.

It is a story nobody wants to talk about, which is weird because if this was the insurrection they claim is true, then why wouldn't Kamala Harris want to talk about nearly being killed by a pipe bomb during the so-called insurrection? In a shocking, shocking act, and it had to be a mistake.

of journalism at the National Association of Black Journalists who asked a bunch of softball questions. I don't know if they made a mistake here or what. Everything else was softball. They asked her a question about the pipe bomb. Now she's got a golden opportunity here in front of a friendly audience to play up how she was almost killed as the nation's first female black vice president-elect.

She goes into intense detail. You guys got like a seven-minute clip. She goes into intense detail that day about what happened, the survival story, how she had to do like first blood John J. Rambo, cut a hole in a tarp, put it over her head, light a torch, and walk outside into a tunnel. She had to escape. She goes into amazing detail, just like the first first blood move. She's a survivor. This is a long one, folks.

It's an intense story. Hide the kids. Hide your wife. Check this out. January 6th, your vehicle was allowed to kind of pass a viable pipe bomb. We've seen. No, I was in the building. You were in the building. And we've seen what's happening with former President Trump. Do you have full confidence in the Secret Service to protect all of you? I do. No, no. I said I said the long seven minute one where she describes her harrowing adventure. He's looking there. They can't. They can't.

They can't find it because it's not there. Why does she not want to talk about this? Because my story is true.

Those pipe bombs were put there as plan A if the Republicans on certification day in front of an entire national media audience on the House floor as the Electoral College votes were being counted, objected and started talking about the problems in the election because they knew people for the first time would hear in front of a national audience at the same time.

Remember, everything was segregated. Left-wing cable news was saying, you're an election denier if you bring up the 2020 election problem. Conservative cable news was talking about the election problem. The whole nation was on two different narratives. They were going to have to take it live. And Republicans were about to object with what they believed was strong evidence that the election was stolen. They had to shut it down, folks.

So their plan was to ship Kamala Harris over to the DNC, which she still doesn't want to talk about. They were going to discover some pipe bombs, claim MAGA extremists tried to kill them, and they were going to say, all of this stuff has to stop. Just certify the vote. Someone's going to get hurt. But what happened? The riots happened on January 6th, and they didn't need the pipe bombs anymore. So you watch. You're going to hear the exact same story you just heard next. It was a training exercise. A lot of training exercises going on, folks.

It's the excuse for everything. I saw Darren Beattie tweeting about the same thing before. Darren Beattie at Revolver. Him and Julie have been doing amazing work on the January 6th story. Everything's a training exercise when you catch someone. Did you notice that?

It's the default excuse. We were just testing you guys. We were just testing you. It's like, I don't mean to make, but it's like you get caught by your professor cheating on an exam, right? Michael, he's taking a math test, you know, and you look here. I was just testing security in the classroom. That's all I was. You're good. You're good. Thank you. Professor Joey bag of donuts. Thank you. I'm now secure as a student. That test security is good. You've done your job. Stand down.

He's right. He says the professors are all libs. That actually may work. It's not going to work on you, though. That's just mean. Kim, you better talk to Guy about this after the show. Folks, the training exercise thing is a scam.

Is it a scam today? I don't know. I'm not making any judgments until I see more about this, but I'm not accepting anything by default. Hey, more breaking news today. Let me tie it back to the beginning of the show. Let's switch back to serious time. Folks, if the Secret Service can't detect a guy in the woods...

who has managed to secrete himself in a wood line for 12 hours. From what we know, at least, with no ghillie suit and very light camouflage, if any, it looked like he had a pink shirt on when arrested. Now, he may have changed in the car. I want to jump to conclusions. However, from what we know of the initial report, he was not engaged in any kind of heavy camouflage at all. If the Secret Service can't detect that guy in the wood line getting ready to shoot President Trump,

and has to wait till event day to discover a bunch of training explosives and whatever it may be. I don't even know, again, I don't even know which story's worse. Do you really believe the Secret Service is prepared to protect against a bunch of plastic explosive bombs secreted in cell phones? Listen, I'm glad to see a whole bunch of Hezbollah terrorists murder babies and rape women, die in brutal deaths. You deserve everything you get and then some.

But folks, make no mistake, we are in a dangerous new world. Aerial drone technology, explosives, electronic devices, remote detonation, Pegasus spying, no-touch malware. We're in a dangerous world. The Secret Service hasn't adopted the threats from the 80s. Long guns, you think they're ready for threats now? In case you haven't heard, breaking this morning,

What appears to be the Israeli strike against 3,000 to 5,000 Hezbollah operatives where they sold them a bunch of pagers with explosives and blew their nuts off, eyeballs, fingers. Shouldn't be a terrorist. You'll keep your fingers. Today, there were additional explosives. You may have missed this because you were watching my show.

Here's a Hezbollah funeral for one of these scumbags. And at the funeral, now their radios they're using to communicate, their walkies, I guess they're two-way radios. Apparently they were rigged too. Sorry, more dead guys. Play that for me. Watch this. Watch it. Boom. There you go. There's an easy way to prevent this, you know.

The easiest way to prevent this type of activity is to not murder babies, behead people with garden hose, and go and rape women attacking a sovereign country. Folks, it's really insane that I've got to give this advice to people around the world, but don't start a war you can't finish. And don't start a war when you have absolutely zero technological capability to match your opponent's level of sophistication. This is what's going to happen.

All right. A lot going on today. I'm going to stay on top of that story. I am not, I don't believe anything. I'm sorry. This is why the Bongino rule exists. Do not draw any conclusions. I've got a report in this news as it comes up because I don't want you to be left out. However, I would not accept a single conclusion about any of this and definitely accept none of the conclusions about this January 6th story. Kamala Harris doesn't want to talk about this for a reason.
