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. You guys are the best. You know, not a single person tuned out in a waiting room. Obviously, we had a little delay there, about four minutes or so. We had a slight tech problem on our end. No big deal. But I just want to tell you, I don't want to waste any time because we lost a few minutes of the show.

But I think this is not a waste of time to really sincerely thank you. Not only have we been the number one stream every single day this week by far, doubling and tripling the audience, but we have a little technical problem and absolutely no one goes anywhere waiting for the show. Bongino Army folks, you're the best.

Love you guys to death. Let's get right to the show. Hey, you've heard me rave about Beams, Dream Powder every day. Go get it now. Stop delaying. This stuff changed my life. Get some sleep. They're offering a big discount at shopbeam.com slash Bongino. Use code Bongino. I got an update on the Secret Service story, but more importantly, you got to get back to the election too. I can't let myself get pigeonholed into one story the entire time. I've got some good stuff for you today, including a caller who called into C-SPAN who just summarized what the left is all about.

Hey, how'd you choose which ISP internet service provider to use? The sad thing is most of us have little choice because ISPs operate like monopolies in the regions they serve.

They use this monopoly power to take advantage of customers. Many ISPs log your internet activity. To prevent ISPs from seeing my internet activity, I protect all of my devices with ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN is a simple app for your computer or smartphone that encrypts all of your network data and tunnels it through a secure VPN server. Sadly, every site you visit, video you watch, or message you send gets tracked by ISPs or other tech giants.

who can then sell your information for profit. That's the reason I recommend ExpressVPN as the best way to hide your online activity from ISPs. Just download the app. I have it on my phone. Tap one button on your device. You are protected. I use it because you don't want anyone spying on you online. So stop handing over your personal data to ISPs and other tech giants who mine your activity and sell your information.

Protect yourself with a VPN I use to keep myself private online. Visit ExpressVPN.com slash Bongino. That's ExpressVPN.com slash Bongino and get three extra months free. Go to ExpressVPN.com slash Bongino right now to learn more. A little bit of a delayed bell today, but here we go. Fellas, this is a moment. Everybody ready? Everybody in the chat ready? Bongino, the McGraw and crew, the Bongino Army.

Very rarely does your humble host, Dan Bongino, host of the eponymously named Dan Bongino Show, ever agree with a Democrat. Ever. Because they almost always say or do something incredibly stupid. Liberals do things anti-American and things imbeciles would only do. But when they say something I actually agree with, I feel the need to highlight it to show you that I actually believe in principles unlike a lot of liberals who only believe in the principle of power.

Throw up that Chad Pergram tweet, if you would. Chad Pergram's an excellent congressional reporter for a Fox News channel. I follow him a lot. He knows the mechanics in and out of up on Capitol Hill, and he gets a lot of comments others don't get. Here's Chad. You know, Dick Blumenthal, Tricky Dick, you know, the guy who makes up all the stories about his heroic service in combat and all that other stuff. Guy's obviously a piece of garbage, but he said something that made sense.

He said, Blumenthal, under Secret Service, this issue is not about money. Holy shit, a Democrat. Did you guys hear it? A Democrat said something isn't about money, taxpayer money for the first time like in the history of ever time. He says the issue is not about money. It's about management. Using resources productively and effectively and the lapses and failures that will be documented in our report

We'll go to the mismanagement that led to the abject failure to protect the president properly. Holy moly. Dude, what? Am I aging myself? Elizabeth, get me the nitroglycerin pill. Someone give me a baby aspirin. I mean, my heart is having a coronary event. What the hell's going on here? Dick Blumenthal.

who will say anything to anyone at any time to steal more of your money and spend it with the United States government and cover for government inadequacies has two gems in one quote, that this is a mismanagement issue and it's not about the money. That is freaking amazing. Sounds like something this guy told you. What did I say? I told you guys, this has nothing to do with money. The Secret Service budget, since I was there in 1999, aging myself,

in real dollars adjusted for inflation has doubled from 1.5 billion to 3.3 billion. It's more than doubled. This is not a money issue.

When he's talking about mismanagement, it's what I told you. Your boy here with his two thumbs right here, this guy, told you a long time ago. Half of their agents and more than half of their money is being pissed down a toilet bowl to go investigate financial crimes that the FBI does.

There's no, we don't need a new government agency. You don't need more money. Matter of fact, you probably need less money. Take half of the Secret Service budget, go give it to these agencies or give it back to the taxpayer investigating financial crimes and tell the Secret Service now, hey, the money you spend investigations, there you go, it's gone. Now you guys can focus on protection.

None of this stuff is hard. By the way, did you see that picture of the fence line that's been running around in a newspaper? This guy was like...

10 yards away from where President Trump was going to be. Please stop with the bullshit. The protection model worked. The protection model failed. Period. Stop bullshitting people. A guy with a high-powered rifle and a scope would have been about 10 yards away if some eagle-eyed agent as a fail-safe didn't catch this guy in the woods. And by the way, the guy was in a pink shirt.

Folks, anyone out there in the chat with military experience? If you're sitting out there in a wood line as a sniper secreting yourself against an enemy position to try and take out a target, do you wear a pink shirt? Is that a color that occurs in nature, in natural forestry, outside of flowers and floral arrangements? The answer is no, it isn't. The guy would have had a damn ghillie suit on or some camouflage. Donald Trump would be dead again. Dead again. I like that.

They absolutely failed. Stop covering for them. The agents are pissed off. You missed yesterday's show. I read a text from a guy with a deep body of experience in the Secret Service who's a good, take that back, a great man. I know well. They are fed up. They are tired of being put out there on the front lines with a management class that's going to get one of them hurt and one of their protectees killed. Okay, so I have an update. Folks, you remember Ned Parker?

Who in the chat remembers Ned? So Ned Parker from Reuters reached out. Big mistake. Trying to imply that I had something to do with some guy who was threatening people. I don't even get that. I read the story. It doesn't even make a lot of sense. Or was like trying to threaten people. I don't know. I never heard of this guy. I have no idea who this guy is. So Ned does what every leftist does. They try to cover for leftist violence because...

The left is the party of violence, period. That's not open for debate. Liberals, sit down and shut up. Put your dunce caps on. You're the BLM party. You're the Antifa party. You're the party of political violence. It's our candidate who's been shot or almost shot now twice in two months. You can shut them up, okay? You're the party of violence.

You own it. You apologize for it. It's the mostly peaceful Ali Velshi bullshit. I'm tired of hearing your crap. So left-wing media people have to distract you from left-wing violence. So Ned Parker from Reuters, absolute ass clown, right, emails me and says, hey, this guy listens to your show, basically implying somehow I'm responsible, despite the fact that on this show, and I want to thank you all. Seriously, I mean this.

I want to thank you all for tweeting to Ned respectfully, but I don't want to, you know, engage in any kind of threatening stuff ourselves, but tweeting to Ned, Hey, dipstick, do you actually respectfully, do you actually listen to Dan show? Because he's only resolutely condemned political violence as a red line, probably a thousand times. And by the way, we're putting that montage together to send to people like Ned so we can sue them. If they imply it in the future, Ned's article came out today. As you guys see it,

Here it is. This is glorious. This may be, ladies and gentlemen, this may be the finest moment Dan Bongino show history. How do I know? Because Guy, who never says anything about anything, about anything, any time ever, came in this morning and he said, this is great. What else? No, that's it. But for Guy, that's a lot. You got to understand, unless you're talking about Star Wars or Dungeons and Dragons, or what is it, Flesh and Blood? Unless you're talking about that, Guy doesn't say anything. So Guy actually enjoyed it. He said...

He said, that's not hyperbolic. That's real, Michael. You know it. He said, this is great. Here it is, folks. Reuters. Ned Parker. Trump fan. Targets MAGA foes with menace and gets away with it. I have no idea who this guy is. Never seen, met this guy in my entire life. I have no...

Okay, he said, I'm going to be precise. Guy said, he said, this is really great. For Guy, that is enormous. Bongino didn't reply to a Reuters request for comment. Language alert, folks. But he addressed it on his show, calling the rap reporter a lying sack of shit and telling him to F off.

Bongito also said he has repeatedly condemned political violence on his program as absolutely an unacceptable red line we shouldn't cross. There you go, lion's sack of shit, Ned Parker. There you go, fellas. That's how you handle the communist media. You do not give these a-holes the time of day because they don't deserve it.

You're going to call me or email me pretending and implying that MAGA people want violence when we absolutely, resolutely condemn it 100%. I don't care what side it's on. And you're talking to a guy who actually worked in a Secret Service outlet. Oh, it is from the top ropes. I'd prefer macho man, but I'll take it. There it is. There you go, Ned. The rhetorical people's elbow there.

Don't toy with us. I actually worked in a space trying to prevent Democrats from getting hurt in politics and the Secret Service and Republicans. You did shit sitting behind a computer with your lotion watching porn all day.

So I'm sure your parents are embarrassed you tried to write that piece. Don't do it unless you want a massive lawsuit getting dropped on your head. Don't even think about it. Unless you have evidence that we said or did something to incentivize anyone. You better be careful what you do because those days are over. All right, let me get back to the show I had planned. Folks, this is The Left.

There's kind of a nice segue here. It's a horrible segue, but it segues nicely theme wise to the show because I've told you over and over. This is a axiomatically true statement. The left is the party of violence. You're not welcome in our movement if you're going to violate other people's civil liberties. You're not. Conservatives don't believe in that. We never did. It is not our thing. The left worships political violence because they believe in power and violence is a tool for them.

That's why they will never condemn it as long as it's on their side. I want you to listen to what happened on C-SPAN yesterday. I want you to listen to this lunatic who calls in and parrots the exact same threat to democracy, defending democracy language as the left, as he celebrates the two people who took a shot at Donald J. Trump. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the left. This isn't some unusual example. This is who they are, period.

Listen to this. ...Lydell, Louisiana, Willie. Democrat, good morning. Good morning. I just want to say I'm a very patriotic American. I did 20 years in the military, through to the Vietnam War in 1966, went back in 68. And I look at myself and think about, we were poor as a military man, we were poor as a

close with kill capital disorder in all means available and the see we let this man Trump destroy America. Look at it and see what these two people have to step up and take that shot. I made it through not what moves what I'm sorry will you're not advocating violence are you not violence. I'm going to my defending my country.

Do you notice how this guy parrots the exact language of the liberal left in the media? He's defending his country, defending democracy. So I ask Ned from Reuters, Ned Parker, humiliation to humankind, his family, his neighbors, kids, everyone else, trying to stick this on me despite doing the opposite, condemning it, working and dedicating my entire life against everyone.

and putting my own ass on the line. Do you have any idea how many times I walked out of my house when I lived in Severna Park, Maryland, to my oldest daughter at the time young... I don't really like talking about this. Crying at the door every time she saw the damn suitcase come out. You know how many diseases I came home with? Dengue freaking fever. Sitting there on protectees trying to keep their asses alive.

stomach bugs and all this other shit you take back from overseas. You see why it's so offensive when an asshole like this guy, Ned Parker, sends me an email about political violence implying we're the problem? This is the left. This chucklehead's the problem.

Defending guys like this. When's Ned going to do an article about that guy and track him down? Sir, why'd you call in appearing to celebrate two people took a shot at Donald Trump? When are you going to do that article, asshole? Sorry about the language, folks, again. You see why you get frustrated with these people?

I worked in a precinct as a New York City cop that go look it up. The 75 precinct in Eastern New York, Brooklyn. It's probably 80 percent, if not more, Democrat. I've spent my entire life, most of it keeping Democrats alive while this sack of shit is writing articles trying to imply we're the source of violence. When are you going to investigate this guy?

Here's another life loser. This is the left, folks. It's important you understand this before the election. If we lose, political violence and censorship are here now. The tyranny you thought was tomorrow is today, is right now. If we lose this election to Kamala Harris, you will have no government mechanism like a Donald Trump administration to protect you from the hell that's coming. Do you understand that?

Political violence will be institutionalized. Weaponization of government, which is happening now, will be institutionalized. Full-blown censorship against conservatives will be institutionalized.

Because guys like this will have a seat at the table. Here is the wretched-smelling, human-walking pile of pus, Rick Wilson, a man who is one big snowflake-like dandruff lake on his head away from losing half his body weight. Here is Rick Wilson, a guy whose only reputation is going on the air. What's that?

I'd have no idea. When you see a guy who smells like this guy, this wretched pile of pus, he's like a cholesterol calcified pus in the middle of an arthrosclerotic artery in the heart. That's what this guy is. He looks like a freaking Oompa Loompa from this year.

The guy's losing his hair. He stinks like a rotting water buffalo on the Serengeti that's been sitting out there for weeks. I had to smell this guy in person. I saw him in an airport. He had, like, flies around him. Here he is again on TV. This is the kind of guy that's going to have a seat at the table if the Kamala Harris administration, the tyranny wins. Listen to this shit. Check this out. The real-life impact of running amok with insane lies like the ones they're spreading in Springfield.

I'm gonna be very blunt. I think Trump wants someone to be killed. I think they want this violence to escalate. I think they want to then say these migrants have caused the violence. They brought this on themselves. Look at our cities on fire because of these terrible people from faraway lands who happen to be dark skinned. This is a racist playbook that goes back well before Hitler.

This is the same guy who said that they need to put a bullet in Donald Trump. You see what he does? He tries to be too clever by half, but he's not. Again, he's stupid. He's a dandruff flake away from losing a significant portion of his body weight. This oompa loompa eunuch, okay? They're the violent ones. So to cover for their political violence, what do they do? And to cover up for this guy who called C-SPAN and all the other BLM and Antifa lefty lunatics?

They turn around and say, how can we make it seem like Trump is valid? What's he talking about right now? He's talking about a very real documented immigration crisis in Springfield that's ripping apart a community. I got an idea. Let's make it a racial issue and just say they're the ones inciting violence.

And the media, instead of requesting it, going, hey, dandruff guy, this guy's a walking right guard ad with his stench. Hey, dude, can you actually back that up? Why are you assuming it's racist to call out an immigration crisis that's ravaging a community? By the way, a community has black and Hispanic residents, too. Do you have any actual evidence of that? They don't. They just parrot it. They just parrot it because they need a line to do the flip a row.

You notice, by the way, you rarely see this guy in studio. It's probably because of his extensive body odor problem. I strongly suggest you guys send him a tweet to the Amazon or Walmart link for a good antiperspirant deodorant. Maybe that Lume company will sponsor his show. You ever see that? Do you have a stench out of your private parts or in your arms? Maybe Lume should sponsor Rick Wilson's Lincoln Project program. They'd be great. The guys, the...

If they can clean up that guy's BO problem, then man, let me tell you, that product works. By the way, hat tip, Western Lensman, really great account for video. Awesome account. Mays Moore, Western Lensman. You should give him a follow. Really good job. I'm going to get back to showing you how this is the party of violence. Why does it matter, folks? We've got an election here. It's not coming. The election's happening right now.

If we don't do something about this, execute and win and bring 10 people to the polls. Political violence, weaponization of government and censorship will be institutionalized. You will remember this show and rue the day you didn't bring 10 people with you. It is time to go and win. Execute. Execute. No more talk. The election is here. It's not coming. It's here. Execute now.

Thanks, Patriot Mobile. And in case you think, oh, Dan, you're just pointing out isolated examples of a guy with an obvious body odor problem who they won't do studio hits with or whatever,

Who knows? Maybe the guy needs some degree. He's not the only one. You've seen the Maxine Waters videos. You've seen the Rashida Tlaib videos. You've seen the Cori Bush videos. You've seen the Kamala Harris videos when it came to the rioters.

The guy sitting in the White House now has provided a comfort blanket for those inciting violence, folks. Despite the fact that his neurons don't work and his brain is a rotting bag of oatmeal, he still finds a comfort zone in making sure Americans understand that Donald Trump is a legitimate target for your political rage.

He does it all the time. The left is the home for the violence. Here's a little quick minute supercut here of Biden implicitly endorsing the political rage being vented against Donald Trump in the form of violence now multiple times. Watch this. What do you do? You make it to the general. You're on the debate stage. He starts making fun of your age, your mental state. I mean, come on, Donald.

Come on, man. Press always asks me, don't I wish I were debating him? No, I wish you were in high school. I could take him behind the gym. I'm looking forward to this, man. You walk behind me in a debate.

Come here, man. They asked me, would I like to debate this gentleman? And I said, no. I said, if we were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. Or let's start a real physical revolution if you're talking about it. The idea that I'd be intimidated by Donald Trump. He's the bully who used to make fun when I was a kid in a stutter and I'd smack them in the mouth. Would you really fight the president, sir? I was talking about high school.

Go back and read what I said. How many push-ups you want to do here, pal? Focus on this man, what he's doing, that no president has ever done. No president. Ask the right questions. Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why,

You didn't know what you said? I guess you're more straight, Jack. Any guy who talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest SOB in the room. You should be looking at Trump. Trump's doing this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum.

Folks, this is the kind of stuff that is just par for the course on the left. No golf puns intended, but fit right in. This is what they do. I need you to understand this. This is the takeaway from the segment that's so critical now that the election's here. It's not coming, the election. It's here. Election day is, what, 46 days away? The election's happening right now. Execute or you will be dealing with two things you will never get rid of.

Folks, it's easy to vote yourself into socialism. It is deadly to vote yourself out. Deadly to vote yourself out. You will never escape what's coming. Political violence and censorship are their agenda. We bring receipts. Does this show not do that favor for, do we not? Do we not, bro? Are you not entertained? Do we not bring the receipts every time?

I just played for you liberal average Joe civilian comfortably calling into C-SPAN threatening Trump. Rick Wilson, noted liberal lunatic from the Lennon Project with a B.O. problem. And I just played for you the president United States. I played super cuts of Maxine Waters, all the other people I mentioned before. What else could you possibly want to hear?

They are also the party of censorship. I mean real censorship, not soft censorship. There are emails from the White House during COVID from Rob Flaherty pressuring social media companies to stop you from speaking. They did this comfortably, folks, from White House accounts they knew would be subject to discovery. They didn't care. They wanted people to know they are the party of censorship. They are not hiding it.

Do you guys get this? Folks in the chat, give me some feedback. Do you get the distinction here? What I'm trying to tell you is this is not a perceived glitch in their system. The Obama team used official White House accounts to publicly pressure social media companies because they knew the public would eventually see it. Do you get that? They knew this was a feature to the modern progressive.

They were happy that the progressive movement, they were doing what they wanted, censoring conservatives. They weren't embarrassed about this at all.

Oh, come on, Dan. It's not like they talked about this publicly. They did it on email. That's a bridge too far. Cue it up, fellas. Here is Kamala Harris, your presidential nominee for the lunatic Democrats. Tim Walls, the tampon guy, her VP, and Hillary Clinton, all over a period of weeks in the past few months, openly, openly,

openly advocating for censorship. This is a feature, not a glitch, of what is going to happen if we lose this election. Watch this. We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy. And if you profit off of hate...

If you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable. I think we need to push back on this. There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy. 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 deterrent. This is one of those issues I have during the show because I never want to annoy you. I want you to tell me in the chat if you because the show's for you guys. I want you to tell me, OK, we get it. Shut up. OK, I'm cool with that. I'm totally cool with that. Just one more time. I'm sorry. This is not a bug.

They did this from the White House accounts and talk about it openly because this is what liberals want. They're not trying to hide it. They're not like, okay, let's censor them. And, you know, gosh, it's so embarrassing. We got discovered. It's not. This is what they're going to jam down your freaking throat and choke you on. If we lose, you'll remember this show. By the way, we were right again. I'm going to take a quick break. Our batting average is still...

Yes, sir. 1,000. What did I tell you about the debate? And everybody laughed at us. Guy's an idiot. Conspiracy theorist. Donald Trump got his ass kicked during the debate. Really? He did? All I asked is can you produce some actual data on that? Pay attention to your guy here. I'll actually bring the receipts. I got that. And then why they're definitely, definitely preparing to cheat here. States, you better be ready. States, you better be ready.

Folks, again, I told you, you know, what does Aunt Jane say, folks? Aunt Jane was my godmother. I loved her. Obviously, my mother's sister. She was one of the best human beings I ever met. She passed, unfortunately, but I loved her to death. You remember what she said? You pee ones. Daniel, self-praise things. She used to say it all the time because when I was a kid, I could be a little arrogant sometimes. Shocker. She's like, self-praise things.

But I just don't ever want you to think you're wasting your time here. Gallup, Gallup, that's no huge friend to Donald Trump. I mean, it's a polling outlet. They have no reason to put this out if it's not true. Nearly identical percentages of adults rate Donald Trump and Kamala Harris favorably in Gallup's latest September 13th poll, during which the candidates debated for the first time. September 3rd through the 15th. Matter of fact, more of them rated Donald Trump favorably.

All right, forget it. Whatever. You get the point. I've said it a thousand times. I just, I feel like I owe you something. And you're again, two weeks ahead of the news cycle. That debate changed nothing, folks. The sound bites and the pictures and the snapshots coming out of it were awful. Kamala Harris looked like an idiot. Everything she said was debunked within five minutes of getting off the air. Listen, I'm a little worried about the election, however. And although I think a lot of things are going in our direction, one of the reasons I...

outside of the psychology of talking about red waves, meaning I just don't want to talk about a red wave, number one, because there's no good that can come out of it. If there's a red wave that's going to happen, great. You talking about it is only going to incentivize people to not vote who are going to think they don't need my vote. There's a red wave coming. There's nothing good. Stop talking about it. But from a technical, forget the psychology a second, from a technical sense,

The reason I'm having an issue with the red wave talk is, folks, they are going to cheat. Now, I think from what I've heard from election experts, I'm just giving you what people say I trust who are hardcore conservatives who study this. Cheating in really poorly controlled voter integrity states, listen to what I'm going to tell you, this is coming from them, is about 1% to 1.5% when it's bad.

Because if you're going to vote for someone, you got to make sure that someone doesn't show up. And a lot of these people doing it, they can't make it obvious. They got to try to make it appear like it's organic. So say it's one in one, say it's two, whatever. In a lot of these swing states, I believe Donald Trump is probably up two or maybe more. So I believe we may even beat the cheating. However, they are going to cheat, folks. And there's no doubt in my mind.

They are fighting the SAVE Act, which would do one simple thing. It would stop people who are not authorized to vote, illegals, from registering to vote. The Democrats don't want to do it. Occam's razor. Why would the Democrats not want to stop illegals from voting? Anyone in the chat? Yes, because they want illegals to vote. Here's Speaker Mike Johnson, who could be doing more on this, obviously, but I still want to play it. He's obviously the Speaker of the House. I'm worried about their efforts to get illegals to vote.

He makes a good point here. There are congressional races in the country that were decided by 200 votes. You have any idea how many illegals are in the country right now? Check this out. What's happening around the country right now is that the millions and millions of illegals who have come across that border, since the borders are Kamala Harris and Joe Biden opened it wide, is that some of them are trying to register to participate in the election.

Many of them. We know six or seven states have already done their own audits. They've proven you've got thousands and thousands of illegals on the voter rolls right now. And here's the problem. You know, if you have just a small percentage of those millions of people that try to participate, you can throw the outcome of the election. You can throw the outcome of who has the majority in the House. I have a colleague who won her seat in Congress in 2020 by six votes. I've got another Republican colleague, won his race by about 250 votes.

It's easy to throw these things off and you could even affect the outcome of a presidential cycle depending on where all those illegals are participating. Some of these swing states are a real concern. So we have to make sure that before someone registers to vote, they prove that they are a U.S. citizen because that is existing federal law.

Believe me, we read the chat. There's no point in having it if you're not going to read it. The whole point of a live show at 11 is the interactivity. I get your anger. I am 100% with you. I've had actual verbal jousting events with the speaker on the air about FISA and other issues. I'm playing the clip because that aired on CNBC. We can't just air stuff that happens on Fox and Newsmax and OAN because I want to see what the other side is hearing.

Folks, they're hearing this. They don't care. They are going to cheat. If not, they would try to prevent cheating and they don't want to prevent cheating because they know they're in real trouble. Now the why.

Folks, they wouldn't be so focused on this, making such a transparent effort to steal another election if they weren't worried. Here's the good news. Again, for the thousandth time, maybe the 2000th, this is no excuse to get into red wave talk. We're not going to do that here. However, I'm telling you, they are hiding something big with Kamala Harris. I can almost guarantee you

Her internal polling, which is probably legitimately weighted, not weighted heavily towards Democrats because they want to know where they are. I can almost guarantee you internal polling indicates Kamala Harris is in real trouble. That in other words, without cheating, she really has no chance. Why do you think Trump's in New York, folks, New York?

There is something these two teams know. Harris's team looks nervous. Their interviews are terrible. There are clips surfacing every single day of a radical communist ideas and nonsense. They're in real trouble. This one surfaced yesterday. Every day a new bombshell comes out in an ordinary campaign.

where there wasn't a fully hacked-in communist media and 10 million illegals in the country, this candidate you're about to see loses the national election by the national vote, popular vote, excuse me, by five points, and loses the election by over 300 electoral college votes. This would be, it would end your campaign. But because it's Kamala Harris and she's protected, this just found its way into social media.

Here's a clip yesterday that surfaced of Kamala Harris with Gavin Newsom out in California. How does this make you feel if you're a gun owner? She's threatening to come into your house, claiming she has the right to do that, to basically check up on you and your guns. Kamala Harris.

Because if you owe this loser who's never had a freaking job in her life, who is a genuine imbecile, anything. She wants to come in your house? Don't listen to me. Listen to her. Check this out. Responsible behaviors among everybody in the community. And just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see if you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affair. Have you heard from her? Michael said it right. In one show.

How many civil rights and constitutionally enshrined God-given rights, right? Can we abolish in one show? First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fifth, Fourth. I mean, this is who she is. This would be a deal sealer in any other campaign. Gun owners, hunters, people who are even remotely interested in self-protection would be like, wait a minute.

What the hell do you think? You think you have the right to come into my house and check on me? Are you nuts, you moron? Weren't you like Montel Williams' date one time? Have you ever had a real job? Get the hell out of my house. Are you crazy? But because the Praetorian Guard communist media is protecting her, amazingly, she still has her head above the electoral waters.

Here she is doing an interview with a group of friendlies the other day and says it's hard to say the dumbest thing of the campaign cycle because almost everything she says surpasses the last level of stupid.

Here she is ridiculously claiming when they came into office, Biden and Harris, that the unemployment rate was the highest since the Great Depression. Can you put the chart up first, the BLS chart? Here's from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Folks, the unemployment rate in the Obama administration, if you go back and actually look, was far higher than the post-COVID rate.

The post-COVID Trump unemployment rate, which was rebounding, by the way. Nothing this woman tells you is true. Here's the clip. This is utterly absurd. Everything she says is bullshit. Everything. Watch this. Are they better off now than they were four years ago? Four years ago, when we came in, we came in during the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.

Thank you to the guy. Was that a vet? The bearded vet? I'm sorry. Sometimes you grab stuff and I forget who it's from. My fault on that. But great job. That is a great job putting this clip up right next to the National. The unemployment rate for Obama was 9.8, 9.1, and 8.3.

The unemployment rate post-COVID, post-COVID, folks, not even post-COVID, but still COVID going on, but I mean post, like, really, was 6.3 and going down dramatically. She's just making this up. The unemployment rate in the Great Depression reached 25%. The woman is an idiot. Four years ago, when we came in, we came in during the worst unemployment rate

Since the Great Depression. She just made that up. There's only two answers to this. She either made it up or she's a genuine imbecile. Can anyone else give me a combination? No, I get it. You don't play that one next. We skip it ahead. Folks, not only is she dumb, she is epidemic.

of this problem we have in society of the stupid smart people. I haven't said this in a while, but this is a takeaway from this. Kamala Harris is the, she is like the queen of the stupid smart people. You have stupid, stupid people. I'm sorry to be blunt, but it's true. They know the limits of their own knowledge. They're good, decent people. They're just not that bright. They haven't been given a lot of intellectual skills, but they go on to do great things.

You have stupid, stupid people. Then you have smart, smart people who are super smart. I'm not one of them. I'm talking about like the Einsteins, the brain surgeons. But even the brain surgeon who's a smart, smart person knows he's not as smart as, say, a mechanic who's really good at changing oil and transmissions. He's going to screw your transmission up even though he's super smart. None of those people are dangerous. Matter of fact, they're good people.

The most dangerous person in the world is the stupid smart person. Someone who's got a law degree like Kamala Harris, but then assumes because she's got a degree that she has this knowledge set where she can solve any problem anywhere.

It's born out of arrogance. Play this clip. If you ever saw a cringy clip of a stupid smart person, this is it. Here she is in a cringy moment trying to be funny. No one laughs, telling everyone how she's a role model. She's a role model? Again, you were Montel Williams' girlfriend. You have never had an actual job. You're a role model for no one anywhere who's serious in any way.

ecosystem or realm of modern life. Watch this. You know, I was the first person to be a woman at Attorney General of California. I was the first woman to be elected District Attorney of San Francisco. I was the first person of color to be elected Attorney General of California. Whatever. First, first, first. Welcome to the Role Model Club. It's tough. Being a part of the Role Model Club means being in a room where sometimes you may be the only person who has had the experiences you've had.

Yes, you are the only person who's been VP with an intellect and an IQ sub 80. You're correct. You are the only one. And for all the Wall Street Journal types and others out there, you know, I read their stuff. Some of their stuff is nice. Like the National Review guys. Oh, my gosh. You need to be nice. I don't need to be nice. Cutesy time is over. I don't give a shit. There's a reason we're number one and you're number zero.

The reason is because our show tells it like it is and people are tired of bullshit and they're tired of being told by the Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake Republicans that while they go and threaten violence against us, we have to avoid talking about their intellect. Being the president is a job that requires creativity, social intelligence, aptitude and achievement. She has only achievement.

That's it. Yes, she does have a law degree. So she's achieved that. Granted, she has no aptitude, zero social IQ. She's not funny. She has no charisma and she has zero relevant life experience. She has none of the criteria necessary for the job. You want to play cutesy time? Cutesy time's over for us. That's why no one reads your crap anymore. Here's my favorite clip. Here's Kamala Harris in a debate. This debate she won.

You know why? Because she was debating herself. She had to be a winner or a loser. This may be one of the few debates where the same person is both the winner and the loser. I think it's a Mays Moore clip, but this is a good one. Here's about a minute of Kamala Harris debating herself on the exact same issue.

Check this out. I will not ban fracking. I have not banned fracking as vice president of the United States. And in fact, I was the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which opened new leases for fracking.

Will you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking your first day in office, adding the United States to the list of countries who have banned this devastating practice? There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. I absolutely support and over the last four years as vice president private health care options. You support the Medicare for all bill, I think initially co-sponsored by Senator Bernie Sanders. You're also a co-sponsor. I believe it will totally eliminate private insurance.

So for people out there who like their insurance, they don't get to keep it? Well, listen, the idea is that everyone gets access to medical care. And you don't have to go through the process of going through an insurance company, having them give you approval, going through the paperwork, all of the delay that may require. Who of us has not had that situation where you've got to wait for approval and the doctor says, well, I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this? Let's eliminate all of that. Let's move on.

Now you see why the Iranians, Vladimir Putin, and all the idiot class want her to win? Because she can be easily manipulated because she's an idiot. Why do you think the Teamsters Union, which has spent the last 30 to 40 to 50 years negotiating a quality health care plan for their members, for the first time in decades has refused to endorse the Democrat? You don't have to like people who run these unions at all. What happened, happened.

We found out the Iranians yesterday were trying to feed the Harris team anti-Trump information. And then we found out yesterday at the Teamsters, unions almost always endorse Democrats. They don't want her. They wouldn't endorse Trump, but they don't want her. Why don't they want her? How does that end part feel to you? By the way, that was a Hannity clip, Pat Tip Hannity show. How does that feel to you?

You have forfeited enormous sums of money to get it back in the form of benefits because you're concerned about your health and your family. Just a fact. That's what your union's probably done for you. And now Kamala Harris is going, no, no, no. We're going to quote, what did she say at the end? We're going to get rid of all that. Really? You're going to ask the union people first? Because they don't want shitty government health care. They don't want Medicaid.

They negotiated for a nice quality healthcare plan for their family because it was part of their job. That's what she said. It's her words. This is the most...

Vacuous candidate. There's nothing there. The woman has none of the skills necessary to be an executive with the nuclear codes. Terrible social IQ. Terrible intelligence quotient in general. No life experience. She has not the acumen. Nothing. No charisma. No leadership ability. Nothing.

She's asked a simple question here. Do you guys see this? I've been dying to get to this for days. I put this together on Sunday. She's asked a simple question by a local reporter.

Hey, man, you know, is life better than it was four years ago? What are you going to do about the inflation crisis? She gives the same bullshit answer everything. You know, I was a middle class kid. She was not a middle class kid. She was raised like AOC in an upper crust community. She's a poser. She's a phony. She just wants to be down. She's fake. I grew up in the community she pretends to grow up in. Don't tell me you grew up like we did. You did not.

She can't even answer a simple question. You think she's going to negotiate our way out of another Middle East war or World War III with the Russians? Listen to this crap. We talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people. What are one or two specific things you have in mind for that? Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard.

She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people, you know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. And I try to explain to some people who may not have had the same experience, you know, if a lot of people will relate to this. You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks who were very proud of their lawn.

Okay, okay, what's the part of that? See if you guys can get in my melon here in my head. What's the part of that that I find most offensive? That, some of you got it. I'm trying to explain to people, because you know she's a role model, by the way. I'm trying to explain to people who haven't had the same experience with me what it's like to grow up middle class. She did not grow up middle class, folks. Look it up.

She grew up upper class, at best upper middle class. She did not grow up, she's not down. I hate when they do this. I do not need an explanation from fake phony accent Kamala Harris about what it's like to grow up middle class. You don't know what you're talking about. You're not my role model. I don't respect you. You are really, really genuinely dumb.

You only got ahead because they pushed you ahead because the guy you are taking his place of has no cerebral capabilities whatsoever. That is not exactly a resume item. How do you not get the endorsement of the Teamsters? For two decades, they've been endorsing Democrats by default. Do you know how bad you've got to suck? Here's CNN. Yes, CNN.

stunned that the Teamsters will not endorse this woman. That's how bad she is. And by the way, I've got family members in unions, other prominent unions. I got news for you. They're all voting for Trump too. Here's CNN shocked the Teamsters won't endorse this buffoon. Check this out. Kayla, this is something that hasn't happened in decades.

It hasn't happened since 1996, Brianna. And you mentioned that this was unions were a critical component of President Biden's winning coalition back in 2020. And Democrats had hoped that once again, especially after the policies put forth by the Biden-Harris administration, that it would be. Teamsters Local 70, 80-20 President Trump, San Francisco KYD. Yes. Yes. That's why we love the live chat in this show.

Thank you, Teamsters. Thank you. I've always told union members, I want you to listen to me closely. Do not, listen, man, blank out the bullshit. I'm telling you straight. Working class Republicans, which is the overwhelming majority of our party. I'm not talking about the swampies, the foie gras eaters, and the bow tie wearers. I'm talking about people like me who worked for a living. I was a cop and an agent. My dad was a plumber. My brother's an electrician. My mother worked in a supermarket.

Working class Republicans, the real conservatives, you have a home here. We respect your work. We do not hate unions. Nobody hates unions. That's bullshit. We just don't like people being forced to join an organization. And by the way, it's better for the union if you're not forced to join. Just think about it. If you're forced to join, they don't have to do anything.

If you're not forced to join, they've got to do what they should be doing. Negotiating on your behalf. Getting you these quality healthcare plans. Getting you benefits you deserve because you're busting your ass. Taking part in a company's profitability. There's nothing wrong with that. Your home is here. It's not with these electric car, cow farting, Green New Deal, AOC, loser Democrat. They don't know shit about you, man. Kamala Harris, I need to explain to you working class unionists what it's like to go through the experiences. I mean, you didn't go through any of that.

She's like AOC, trying to pretend she's Jenny from the block. Bullshit. She grew up up in Westchester. These people are full of crap, man. Falasser, Teamster here, local 577. My vote is for Trump. Yes, sir, it is. Yes, sir, it is. Thank you, Teamsters. Your home is here. We got your back. Always. Along with our military, our cops, and anyone getting dirt under their fingernails and working their ass off every day. This is your home. We love you guys.

I love you guys personally and women out there. God bless you. A lot of teamsters in the chat. This is your home. We respect you here. We don't treat you like a commodity. Don't ever forget that.
