Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Hey, hey, hey, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,

What do you mean, what does that mean? Justin, you haven't learned to decode my grunts and groans? I mean, you've been here the second longest amount of time. Even Michael knows what I'm... Michael, you know what I'm doing, right? He knows exactly. Your boy here, right? I'm never going to let you guys down because I love you. I need some love in my life. I love you guys and ladies out there. Love.

Did I not tell you JD was the guy? I know, I get it. This is not a victory lap because many of you were with me. But did I? I told you he was the guy. Trust your boy, D-Bots. Trust me. I will not steer you wrong. What you saw last night was the people's elbow. Macho man from the top ropes.

Superfly snooker nearly hitting the rafters off the top ropes. You saw the camel clutch, the cobra clutch, the big leg. What is that thing the ultimate warrior does, the body drop? You saw the undertaker. Is it like the tombstone or whatever? Have you ever seen a human being own a debate stage like Jay Dizzle last night? Have you ever seen it? Have you ever seen it? I think so, Tony.

Yes, I'll say VP debates. Trump, I've seen Trump on a debate stage too. Folks, we obviously...

Have a lot to talk about. And by the way, Donald Trump was right. J.D., of course, had a debate, three people last night with those two losers from CBS. I mean, absolute losers who, again, got fact checked while trying to fact check after saying they wouldn't fact check. Now you see why Trump doesn't want to do another debate. Why would you? What is he going to debate? Nine people next time? Hey, you know, I can't sleep without my Beams Dream Powder. I needed that last night.

Need an answer immediately. I don't make demands, but what are political campaigns? If you don't know, you listened to the wrong show. They are snapshots and soundbites. And if you're not seeing the debate last night through snapshots and soundbites,

You're missing out. And actually a little argument erupted in the studio. Michael and Justin, I had to restrain them both over that. There was almost like a physical fight. I had to call HR. You are HR. I get it.

Hey, it's time for you to be awake, not woke. Start your day with a hot America first cup of blackout coffee like I do every day. Had two this morning.

All right, fellas, let's go. Folks, Trump was right.

There is no more debates. They clearly now are debating the mainstream media. They're debating academia, the entertainment community, the sports community, and also the two hapless buffoons who were on stage, Harris and Kamala, now during their separate debates.

Now, it was funny because we came in this morning. Justin was like, ah, you know what? JD won, but I'm not sure Walls did that terrible. And Michael, Michael said it best. Michael just nailed it. He did. What did you say, Michael? Michael's like, listen, man, I had to work last night. I only got to saw it, see it in clips.

which, by the way, is how 99.999% of sentient beings in the cosmos are going to see this thing. And Michael's like, no way, dude. Wall's got his ass kicked last night. I said, you guys, did you do that on purpose? Did you set up the, are they like bunt? Was it a bunt?

Did they rehearse it? Like, let's impress Dan. Like, this isn't that kind of work environment. Maybe we'll get like a raise if we... I don't know what they did. Did they coordinate this or something? Because, I mean, that's not how I roll at all. These guys, they come in and they say exactly... The whole world saw the debate that way. Folks, last night, I want you to remember soundbites and snapshots.

Last night's debate was targeted at maybe, and I'm serious here, listen to me, maybe a half of 1% of voters out there. I'm serious. The overwhelming majority of people have already made up their minds.

There is, however, a small sliver of people who, one, will watch a VP debate, who, two, are undecided, and who, three, came in there with some significant pre-existing obstacles to voting Trump. It is small. Let's not kid ourselves. Last night was absolute destruction, but it was targeted at maybe thousands of people in a few swing states. J.D. had a plan. The left-wing communist media decided

Absolutely viciously attacked this United States Marine, this lawyer, this United States Senator, this guy who proudly grew up and wrote a story about it called Hillbilly Elegy, grew up poor.

drug addiction in his family, raised by his grandmother. They viciously attacked him as weird, which coming from the left and wants to cut your kid's balls off, it was kind of a strange attack because no one on planet Earth has ever called J.D. Vance weird. Maybe a lot of things they've never called him weird. J.D. had one job last night.

J.D.'s job was not to make Tim Walls look stupid. Tim Walls did that all on his own. Trust me. That was not his job. It was not to go on attack against Walls. That was not his job. It may feel good, but that's only for us MAGA folks. We don't need it. We're already voting for him. Suburban moms, the 0.15% of the voters that do run convinced came away last night and said,

Holy shit, that guy could be president tomorrow. I promise you, none of them said that about Tampon Tim. Again, Trump was right. Here is the first soundbite of the night showing you why serious American voters practically all hate the media. This is why the debates are over. And I'm telling you now, tell me in the chat if you disagree.

Yes, I'm right. No, I'm wrong. From now on, from this point on, in every presidential election cycle moving forward, there should be no more debates on hack left-wing media outlets. None. You want to do a debate? Here's what we do. You get one left-winger like a Rachel Maddow, and then you get like a Mark Levin. They're opinion hosts anyway. Maddow gets a question, Levin gets a question, and they question the opposite guy. That's the only way we're doing it from now on.

Here's J.D. last night after CBS said, we're not going to try to fact check. Try to fact check J.D., who is smarter than the two morons running the debate and absolutely owns them so much to the point they have to shut the microphone off to stop him from speaking. How do you think this looked to the 0.5% of people who were impressed? You think this made the media look good? Check this out. Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who are in the country.

who have legal status, temporary protected status. Well, Margaret, but— Thank you. Senator, we have so much to get to. Margaret, I think it's important because— We're going to turn out of the economy. Thank you. Margaret, the rules were that you guys weren't going to fact-check. And since you're fact-checking me, I think it's important to say what's actually going on. So there's an application called the CBP One app, where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at

the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card and waiting for 10 years. That is the facilitation of illegal immigration, Margaret, by our own leadership. Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process. We have so much to get to, Senator. Those laws have been on the books since 1990. Thank you, gentlemen. The CBP One app has not been on the books since 1990.

It's something that Kamala Harris created, Margaret. Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut. Folks, how do you think that looked? Again, this is not targeted at Justin. He made up his mind eight years ago. Michael, Evita, me, or anyone, we don't vote Democrat. We're good.

You've got to view it through the objective lens of snapshots and soundbites and the 0.5% who frankly don't know what you know about politics. It's not their fault. They're busy working for a living. Look, wow, 99.7%. Thank you, Botchino, on the case. How do you think that looked? Where J.D. accurately states that's all made up. That CBP1 app they're using to fly people into the country, you can call it legal all you want.

It is illegally legal. They're just making people, they're coming in going, yeah, just come in illegally by the app and we'll say it's legal. Just like Obama who said, hey, we can't do this DACA, DAPA thing. And then he said, well, I have a pen and a phone. J.D. was right. This is why we're not doing any more debates. So I'm going to go back and forth. So that's a soundbite, a longer one.

It was great for JD, but I honestly don't think it was the best one. I'm going to show you. It was great. He had so many good ones. I had to pick, but I'm trying to think early for, for, you know, do the homework here about what's going to last and stick here. What's the Stockdale moment. What's the, you know, that, that Dan quail moment. You're no Jack Kennedy when he got nailed by, was it Benson? I'm trying to, and I think I've got it, but I want to show you the snapshots too. Again,

Who won the snapshots war? Michael came in this morning. He's like, I only saw it on highlights and I thought the guy got smoked Tim walls. Tampon. Tim got crushed folks. If you just met him last night, tell me you didn't see Elmer front. You see a wabbit. Look at this cat. Look at his picture.

Do you have that picture? Here it is. Tell me. This is the snapshot the entire night. Does this guy look like president? The president of the United States? Folks, you know, I knew a guy growing up. He's a hardworking guy. He used to sell some bread hot dogs in New York to put himself from law school. He looked more presidential. His name was Mike. He was a nice guy. Who is this guy? You see a Wabbit? What the hell? Look at this guy.

This is the ticket. Thank you. Justin just did that. You got Kamala Harris looking like the teacher nobody could stand from third grade, and you got Tim Walz looking perpetually confused. Again, I'm not telling you every snapshot from Trump and Vance was epic, that they would look like Zeus with lightning bolts. I'm just telling you, in the snapshot wars, they keep losing. This guy is a goofball. Every...

Everybody saw he was nervous at the beginning of the bait. And he kept making these weird faces. And he does like the jazz hands, gesticulations thing from bring it on. It's like, remember jazz hands, they sell jazz hands. Yes. I've done. I have daughters. I've seen a movie many times. That's the weirdest thing. This guy's the weird one. Nobody came away last night going, man, that Tim walls. I could see him negotiating with the Taliban. Nobody said nobody sees that. Nobody sees that. It was a mess.

If you understand snapshots and soundbites, brothers and sisters, you are 100% with me. The guy is a numbnuts. I'm sorry. And I'm telling you that objectively. I don't know him. It's not personal. I'm just telling you he came off nervous. I'll give you just one quick example, too.

Anybody out there, radio hosts, local radio station, you have a podcast. I'm sure there's someone. If you are, put your name in the chat. I'll take a look. You know what I'm talking about. Tell me I'm wrong. When you are nervous on the radio, on a TV show, or on a podcast, when you're nervous, the audience can sense it. I don't want to waste a lot of time, but I'll tell you, the only time I was ever nervous on TV, only time, was the first time I filled in for Hannity on his Fox show. I had never done a show by myself, ever. Ever.

And I'm walking in. It's right before Christmas. And I'm in Manhattan. I'm at Fox. And I'm walking in. I see this big Fox building. And it says outside Fox News. This is like, I don't know, seven years ago, six years ago. It's a long time ago. And I'm walking in. For the first time, it hits me. Holy shit, man. You're going to be live on the air in front of three million people. You F this thing up. It's on you.

And it was the only time, you go back and look, you'll see I was nervous. When you're nervous, people can feel it. Sorry about the story, but Walls was nervous. And everybody gets nervous with him. And nobody wants to feel nervous about a guy who's a heartbeat away from the presidency. Listen to your guy. I'm not going to steal you wrong, man. It was a disaster for Kamala Harris last night, who now must clearly regret picking Tampon Tim.

Clearly, she had the opportunity to pick a Pennsylvania very popular governor in Josh Shapiro, who's bizarrely got a high approval rating for being a diehard liberal. And she picks this loser. Folks, this was really, really bad. I'm going to prove it to you again.

My arch nemesis, Geraldo and others. These are all liberals. He starts this clip out. Here's about a minute of the media reaction before we get back to the clips because I want to set the battlefield. You think I'm crazy? Do

Do you understand how bad the left wingers 30 days prior to a campaign in the media just wanted to say Tim Walls did good enough, did good enough and don't hurt the election. They couldn't even do that. That's how bad of a performance it was last night. Listen to these lefties tell you, Hey man, not so great. Imagine how bad it had to be for them to say this. Check this out. No doubt in my mind, however, uh, uh, governor walls, uh, did in terms of sincerity, uh,

that Vance won this debate. Does Governor Walz have a problem with the truth? No. They were talking at one point, Vance wanted to correct something about how Haitians got into this country.

And he was right. And the moderators wouldn't let him correct it. It's very interesting. But at the beginning, the two issues driving the campaign right now are Harris has a big deficit on the economy. Harris has a big deficit on immigration. And Republicans were happy tonight and Democrats a little bit nervous that on those two issues, Vance carried it. J.D. Vance is much more experienced at this, at public speaking, at defending himself, at pivoting. It's the audacity. I

I agree with you that we're in year nine and no one knows how to cover the audacity. The audacity is that someone should have said, stop it, stop, stop. Are you effing kidding me? And they should have dropped that F-bomb, right? I mean, they should have just, this is a debate. This may be the only chance people have to see the difference.

Nicole Wallace is the biggest grifter in politics. OK, the woman you heard at the end used to pretend to be a Republican while she was making money off the Republican Party and the grift. And then when it dried up because she was so grotesquely incompetent, ask anyone in the business who knows her. She wound up going over to NBC. Do you see the word salad at the end? She's apoplectic because she understands that everything she's done in the grift to try to destroy Donald Trump.

Everything she tried to destroy J.D. Vance is starting to evaporate as Trump closes in on a lot of polls, takes the lead in others, and their last opportunity to hit the 0.5% that could decide this election in Nevada and elsewhere,

Folks, they lost it last night. The initiative was lost with the 0.5%. It doesn't mean the election is lost for them. Let's not get cocky. But the debate last night, I saw a couple people, conservative friends of mine, love them to death. But I'm telling you, the analysis was wrong. They were like, I saw, one guy wrote an IJ review. He wrote,

Oh, man, Vance lost the debate. He should have gone on the attack. Again, your analysis could not be more inaccurate. This was not designed for MAGA people. J.D. does go on the attack against the media folks. That's what he does. When J.D. had the opportunity last night to speak to that little sliver of people who undecided, he did exactly what he needed to do. It was a perfect game plan. I would have changed absolutely nothing.

Now, here is what I'm pretty convinced, and time will tell, is going to be the, because you've been locked up already, the Reagan-Mondale quip about age. I think this is going to be the soundbite that lasts. Tim Walls could not have answered this question any worse. Remember, remember this. Snapshots and soundbites. Snapshots and soundbites. Snapshots and soundbites. Snapshots and snapshots. Okay?

But remember something else as well. One of my other golden rules of politics. The only, listen, listen, the only damaging political narratives to a candidate that are going to cause real damage are ones that change your preexisting notion of who that candidate is, okay?

If you were going to pitch Walls as the folksy, honest, outdoorsy farmer, like ag guy next door who understands Midwestern values, then you don't want him seeming like a New York 1980s Times Square fake Rolex salesman who's always lying about everything.

Yet, folks, it seems like every little detail of Tim Walz's life that they brag about, his military experience, his trips to Hong Kong, some Tiananmen Square hero, that it's all fake. It seems like he made it all up because he did. Watch this clip last night where he's asked a question about claiming he was in Hong Kong while the Tiananmen Square protests were going on.

Listen to one of the worst answers you have ever heard in any debate, in any arena, in any space in politics on this rock we call Earth. Check this out. It's about trying to do the best you can for your community. And then it's putting yourself out there and letting your folks understand what it is. My commitment, whether it be through teaching, which I was good at, or whether it was being a good soldier or was being a good member of Congress. Those are the things that I think are the values that people care about.

Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was, can you explain the discrepancy? All I said on this was, is I got there that summer and misspoke on this. So I will just, that's what I've said. So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protest went in. And from that, I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance. Folks, seriously, up there with Stockdale.

When he couldn't answer a basic question while he was there. This has to be maybe the worst answer in a vice presidential debate. It's up there with Dan Quayle looking like a deer in headlights when he called out about the Jack Kennedy line. He should have fired back some bomb and he just couldn't do it. Walls doesn't know what to do. And he hilariously at the end of this said,

At the end of it, hilariously, after saying he lied, basically admitting it, I misspoke, meaning he lied about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square. Then at the end says, I learned a lot from it. You learned a lot from what, dipshit? You weren't there. You just said you misspoke.

Am I crazy, Justin? He just said he wasn't there. I learned a lot from it. I'm going to be like, you know what, man? I learned a lot from that live stream we did for the VP debate last night. We learned a lot about the tech. Justin's like, bro, we didn't do a live stream. There's a number of reasons for that, folks, by the way. No, no, no. We learned a lot. Dude, we didn't do it. It was no stream last night. It didn't happen. What is he talking about?

All right, I got to move on because I'm going to get, you know me, I get it. Yesterday, I got caught up in stuff. I love you. I got a lot more to get to. That, my IMHO, kids, that one's going to be the takeaway. That was really bad. And there's no way you're undecided, came away from that going, this is the next president. No, it could be. No chance.

Dinesh D'Souza's new movie, Vindicating Trump, exposes reasons the left and the Democrats hate Donald Trump so much. The film shows you that they call him a tyrannical dictator because they know Trump is the one Republican that could stop him. So they got to stop him first. Check out the trailer for Vindicating Trump. It's awesome. Go see it. Learn how Trump's not only a successful businessman who rebuilt the New York skyline, but a cultural icon who can mobilize the people against the radical left's anti-American agenda. In Vindicating Trump,

See how Trump fought the authoritarian regime in Washington and got things done for America, for the American people. The film highlights how they tried to bankrupt him with lawsuits and jail him with indictments. It's an amazing piece of work. It was even multiple assassination attempts on his life, but Trump's unstoppable. Vindicating Trump reveals Trump is the one man who can stop the radical left from destroying what's unique and good about America. It's an incredible film. Check out his leadership. We need it now more than ever. Don't miss Dinesh's new movie.

Vindicating Trump. It's in theaters now. Get your tickets at vindicatingtrump.com. That's vindicatingtrump.com. Get the tickets today at vindicatingtrump.com. Rated PG-13. Maybe inappropriate for children under 13. Check it out. Really, really good movie.

Okay, folks, here is JD again, doing what had to be done last night. Remember the snapshots and soundbites theory. I'm sorry to keep beating it up, but it's really critical. Even some of my own crew, like they don't understand, like don't view it through your own lens.

Here he is last night doing what he had to do. There are portions of America that are undecided, who are incredibly falling for the media, communist media, entertainment community, athletic community. They're lying that Kamala Harris is somehow a change agent. But no one ever asks change from what? J.D.'s job last night was to go and convince people who don't know this, bizarrely, that Kamala Harris is in charge now.

The Biden-Harris White House is a collaborative effort. Biden just said in an audio video clip we played the other day that there's nothing he does without Kamala. They're in charge now. So if you're miserable now, which the overwhelming majority of Americans are, it is because of Kamala Harris.

Here's J.D. pointing this out, saying, hey, tampon Tim, you got a tough job here. How are you going to defend this shit? This was glorious. Check this out. Honestly, Tim, I think you got a tough job here because you've got to play whack-a-mole. You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver rising take-home pay, which of course he did. You've got to pretend that Donald Trump didn't deliver lower inflation, which of course he did. And then you simultaneously got to defend Kamala Harris's atrocious economic record because

which has made gas, groceries, and housing unaffordable for American citizens. I was raised by a woman who would sometimes go into medical debt so that she could put food on the table in our household. I know what it's like to not be able to afford the things that you need to afford. We can do so much better. To all of you watching, we can get back to an America that's affordable again. We just got to get back to common sense economic principles. Is there a way you can just...

Pause that video. I don't even care what point. Just pause it at any point, put it on the screen. Not only, again, is the sound bite there.

Is the soundbite incredible? Where J.D. put, notice what's the soundbite, folks? It's an interactive show. The soundbite is the whack-a-mole part. He puts an image in your head because almost everyone out there, anyone play whack-a-mole growing up? You grab the padded hammer thing, you whack the mole on the game. We've all played it at the arcade, the bowling alley. We all know what whack-a-mole is. So J.D. does this masterful thing. Leave that up a second.

where he puts an image in your head of whack-a-mole, and everybody understands what it is. You hit one, another one comes up. And then he goes out and lays out why he's telling you to think of whack-a-mole. He's telling you to think about whack-a-mole, which we all know, because all of your miserable problems right now are caused by the guy on stage's running mate, Kamala Harris.

You try to whack out, playing for, whack the mole, playing for gas prices, and then you finally get your tank full, and now you can't buy groceries. Boom, you whack the mole for groceries, you got 100 illegal immigrants in your community committing crimes, and you don't have Martha's Vineyard people to ship them out. You whack that mole, and then next thing you got crime breaking out from the Freedom Fund, let it rip Kamala Harris people.

Who was, by the way, the governor of Minnesota when the riots broke out and did nothing. Now, look at his screenshot. The snapshots are terrible, too. Who looks presidential and who looks like a freaking goofball? The answer is obvious, folks. There's almost no screenshot we can take where J.D. doesn't look like a potential president and Walls doesn't look like fun. Where's the rabbit, man? Really, rabbits?

Almost, no, we could do this all day. This was an absolutely masterful performance. Now, I told you I was going to bounce back and forth. Snapshots, soundbites. Here's a snapshot as well. Another one. This is a little thing, but it matters.

J.D. Vance, again, is a tech investor, a Marine. He's an attorney. He's a United States senator, best-selling author, had a award-winning movie about his life, a survivor of really horrible poverty growing up, grew up with drug problems in his family. The guy is an amazing guy. Whether you vote for him or not is up to you. He's on the ticket. I'm just telling you, until you watch Hillbilly Elegy,

Don't attack the guy's character. Watch the movie and then make an informed decision. What I'm getting at is J.D. is a confident, strong guy who could be president tomorrow.

And he does things just naturally, even little things. This may not seem like a big deal, but it was. Here's the end of the debate. J.D. does what he has to do, respectfully shakes the guy's hand. And J.D.'s like, my mission is done here. Thank you. I'm out. He had his five-paragraph order. He's a U.S. Marine. What's Tampon Tim do? He looks like he's waiting for direction. Play this video. He doesn't know what to do. Check this out.

important things. And that's why President Biden tomorrow is heading to North Carolina and South Carolina and Florida and Georgia the next day. And here we see the vice presidential candidates there. Tim Walz standing alone, man, behind his lectern. Ed, give us your last thoughts as we watch here as... You see J.D. like J.D. has a mission here?

Like J.D. walks off the stage. I forget what point in the debate that was. It doesn't matter. But Tampon Tim just doesn't know what to do. He looks like confused. He's got his hands. J.D. I think it was at the beginning or whatever. It doesn't matter. Like J.D. wants to do it. He doesn't. He shakes his hand. He walks off. Tampon Tim's just sitting there like, what am I supposed to do? What do they call that? The olive pose when you put your hands like in front of your junk or something like that? You notice how this matters.

He looks goofy. Does this look like the president or could be president? Folks, of course he doesn't. All right, I got more coming up next, including the Dilly meme team who put one out because every single time Tim Walz thought he had an attack line,

J.D. Vance came back and just absolutely checkmated his caboose and made him look even dumber. This is a short one coming up next, but another epic soundbite of how Tim Walz has a real problem. He can't get away from the fact that the running mate, Kamala Harris, is in charge right now. More coming up. Folks, a medical test can help reveal your body's biological age. It can show if you're aging prematurely. Better nutrition has been shown to help reverse one's bio-age.

My hope of living longer and healthier is why I take, and I should say have been taking for a long time, Field of Greens, and one of my original sponsors. It's an organic superfood, fruit and vegetable powder that you just put in a beverage and you drink it. Unlike these other ones, this is serious nutrition.

This is the Dilley mean team put this together. Here's another. This is a short one. But again, J.D. had a job. Remind miserable Americans who are miserable, not because of what they did, but because of what Biden Harris did. People who are miserable are miserable right now because of what they did. Inflation, public safety crisis, crime crisis, Biden and Harris.

Iran now sending the largest ballistic missile attack into Israel. Who's in charge now? Kamala Harris and Biden.

Watch J.D. absolutely smoke this buffoon and turn around on him. Check this out. You yourself just said Iran is as close to a nuclear weapon today as they have ever been. And Governor Walz, you blame Donald Trump, who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years. And the answer is your running mate, not mine. It was at this moment that he knew he fucked up. Yeah. Oh, yeah, he did. Oh, he knew. All right. He absolutely knew.

Folks, they can't get away from this. Tim Walls cannot escape the fact that he's running with the current vice president. This is J.D.'s job on every issue.

So now we know that there are 13,099 convicted murderers in the country while Kamala Harris is a border czar. But they're in the country illegally. And border czar Kamala Harris does nothing about it. She's been in charge for almost four years. We know there are 15,000 convicted sex offenders getting ready to prey on your friends and family in the country right now. That's five per county in the entire United States.

Because Kamala Harris, the border czar, is sitting on her ass doing nothing. And she wants to escape any accountability for this at all.

J.D., of course, understanding illegal immigration is a big issue, did exactly what he needed to do in another damning soundbite where he points out the fact that the border czar is in charge right now. She just doesn't want to do jack shit about it. Check this out. My point is that we already have massive child separations thanks to Kamala Harris's open border. And I didn't accuse Kamala Harris of inviting drug mules. I said that she enabled the Mexican drug cartels to...

operate freely in this country. And we know that they use children as drug mules and it is a disgrace and it has to stop. Look, I think what Tim said just doesn't pass the smell test. For three years, Kamala Harris went out bragging that she was going to undo Donald Trump's border policy. She did exactly that. We had a record number of illegal crossings. We had a record number of fentanyl coming into our country. And now, now that she's running for president or a few months before, she says that somehow she got religion and cared a lot about

piece of legislation. The only thing that she did when she became the vice president, when she became the appointed border czar, was to undo 94 Donald Trump executive actions that opened the border. This problem is leading to massive problems in the United States of America. Parents who can't afford health care, schools that are overwhelmed. It's got to stop. And it will when Donald Trump is president.

Did you see about, I don't know, 10, 15 seconds in where J.D. Vance points out the fact that there are drug mules using little kids to traffic drugs into the country, despite CBS trying to fact check him on that. And Tim Walls actually looks over and almost like nods in approval. Oh, look at this. Hat tip producer Jim, who sent this over this morning.

This is, is that from CBS, that article? No, it isn't. Is that for, yeah, holy shit, it is. Mexican drug gangs using more children as, is that a CBS article? Jim, is that from, no way.

It's from CBS. I was not kidding. I wasn't part of my show prep. It was Jim. CBS wrote an article about the CBS moderators trying to fact check J.D. suggesting that Mexican drug gangs are using more children as mules. It's right there. It's on CBS.

This is why you don't debate with these idiots. And what does J.D. do? Again, debating three people and makes all three of them look like buffoons. And Tim Walz, who doesn't look presidential at any point, is again sitting there almost nodding in approval, realizing he got dog walked again. Dog walked. Get the leash, folks. Dog walked.

Kamala Harris's campaign this morning, make no mistake, is wishing, hoping, praying that a time machine is invented in the next 30 days so they can go back and redo their VP pick and get Shapiro from Pennsylvania. This may be one of the most disastrous picks we've had for VP in a long time. I mean, what a train wreck for this guy.

There was nothing they could do.

Now, I've become a big fan of this guy. He does great. How CNN hasn't fired this guy yet, I'm not hoping that happens. I'm just saying. There's this guy, Scott Jennings. He's a conservative. They somehow allow on CNN, which is really bizarre. And he just routinely owns the panels. It's like 7-1, and he always wins, unlike Tarloff, who always loses on the 5, like every single time. Greg will just openly mock her because she says ridiculous things.

Jennings is always down 5, 6, 7 to 1. And he was on the panel last night. And folks, what he said about the debate post-mortem is absolutely correct. They're in real trouble today with the 0.5%. I don't want you to think anything that happened last night, like it's over, forget it, red wave. We're not doing that. One, it's not true. And second, honestly, nobody really cares about VP debates.

A very limited number of people do. I'd rather win than lose, but let's not get cocky. We'll take a celebratory lap. I think JD has now dispelled any myths he wasn't the right guy. But Jennings said it right, and I think the CNN panel is sitting there like...

Guy pretty much nailed it. Check this out. It's pretty clear Vance outclassed Walls tonight. I mean, I was watching this and all I could think of was, man, Walls is so in over his head. I mean, can you imagine this guy sitting in the White House Situation Room with that facial expression that's like 50% sheer terror and 50% extreme bafflement? I mean, it was amazing, the split-screen difference between a competent Vance and a totally in-over-his-head Walls. The answer on why

He lied about his trips to China and the Tiananmen Square thing was probably the worst VP debate meltdown since Stockdale in 92. Folks, sounds like something I told you before. And no, I promise you, I did not get that idea from Jennings. That's why I put the clip. Well, it doesn't matter if I could say that all I want. I'm just telling you, like me and him thought the exact same thing.

You know what? Is there any way, Michael, can you pull the Admiral Stockdale moment in the VP? Why are you here? If you can, I'll show you what I mean.

Listen, there's no sense right now relitigating the past. But the problem is this really did some damage. It did a lot of damage to Stockdale, and it's widely considered to be one of the worst moments in debates ever. Yeah, that's it right there when you're playing in my ear. Yeah, if you get a second of it, it just did not go over well. I agreed with the second I got up, that's what I thought.

Watching that last night and letting it stew that the answer he gave about faking, this is like fake civil rights activism. Don't worry about it, guys. I'll play it later on the radio show. If you can find it, we'll throw it in there.

This was a really, really bad answer. I mean, we're obviously doing some stuff on the fly because this is such a busy show. We have these things called floaters, not to get off topic, but elements that I didn't put in on a rundown the night before. The whole show has been floaters. Folks, here's my notebook for today. We haven't even gotten, correct guys, to the actual show. We're getting there. We're getting there. We may get there eventually.

They're in trouble after last night, but I don't want you to put too much weight into it. I think from this point on, Kamala Harris's team realizes that the strategy I've been discussing over the course of the last few shows, you know what it is? It's called shut the, that's their strategy. Don't say anything, run out the clock. Here's the thing though. You can only run out a clock in a game when you're ahead. That's the point. And I sincerely do not believe they're ahead.

Which segues nicely to the first clip of the actual planned show that I wanted to run. Folks, if you've ever heard of Charlemagne, I'm not calling this guy to God. I don't care what he calls him. It's not a knock-on. I don't do nicknames, okay? I just don't. I'm sorry. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing Diddy and all this other stuff. But when you say Charlemagne, whatever.

Charlemagne is a very, very, very popular host. This guy has one of the most listened to shows in the country, and it has a rather large minority audience. This guy, Charlemagne, is, you know, I don't get into what celebrities say because I really don't care. However, he has shown at least a willingness at some point to listen to what the other side has to say. Here's Charlemagne on this show, which I'm telling you has a huge, enormous audience.

Here he is on his show talking about a really powerful political ad he saw during football this weekend. And keep in mind, this guy's no big Trump guy at all, not even close. I'm telling you, folks, Pennsylvania and the minority vote are the two things the Democrats are sweating about. And now that they picked walls over the Pennsylvania governor and he blew it last night, now they better start focusing on the minority vote because this is getting ugly for them. Watch this.

I'll tell you what, that ad they was running during the football games this weekend claiming the vice president supports funding gender transition surgeries for all prison inmates and migrants in the U.S., that was nuts. I wouldn't say nuts, but that was crazy. That was funny. I don't know if it was the backdrop of football, but when you hear the narrator say Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners, that one line, I was like, hell no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that. That ad was effective. Yeah, man, that ad was effective.

Do you understand how a, listen, I ran in Maryland that has a very, very substantial black and Hispanic population. It is a deep blue state. I ran statewide for Senate. We got smoked, did a little better in the congressional race, but still lost, whatever. The only reason I bring it up is folks, I knocked on a lot of doors in Prince George's County. It is one of the wealthiest, largely black counties anywhere in the United States, anywhere. It

It has million-dollar homes. It has some areas struggling. It has some middle-class areas. I knocked on a lot of doors there. In the general election, obviously before, after the primary, because you want to try to convert some voters. We got crushed in that election. It was a three-way race.

knocking on doors teaches you a lot. These are really, really, really deeply religious, hardworking people. Again, not everyone applies to any race, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Muslim, Catholic. I'm just telling you, there are an enormous number of black and Hispanic households who are religious, Christian, Catholic,

that real Muslim that do not want to hear about transgender prisoners, their money being paid to cut their balls off after they committed serious crimes. Yet the ad is real. Don't discount this. I don't really, I don't care what celebrities say. I don't, it's not a knock on them. If they endorse Trump, great. If they don't like Trump, great. Do your thing. I'm just telling you other people do.

And it matters when guys like that go out on the show and are like, hey, man, you know, cutting the balls off prisoners and sex changes. I'm not really sure that's my that's my bag, man. Pun intended, because it won't be your bag after they cut it off. That was totally unintentional, but it worked nonetheless. Here's another one. You got that Tom Cotton one. Tom coming here. Tom Cotton, who's been doing an amazing job.

You know, when politicians do what we need them to do, great. When they don't, they're a minus one. Tom Cotton...

Why not another left-wing media channel this weekend? And this is what Cotton, J.D., and others need to do. They need to constantly remind the American public that Kamala Harris is and always has been nothing more than a radical San Francisco political communist lunatic. How do we know that? Because we can just play clips of Kamala Harris.

This is what we have to remind everybody about. There is no change agent here. There is only a communist agent here. Check this out. I think they deserve to hear a lot more from Kamala Harris because she's been lying to them for the last three months. If you look at her record, she's been trying to run. She's been trying to run away from it from the very moment she took the nomination from Joe Biden. She wants to ban gas powered cars. She wants to give reparations based on race.

She wants to ban fracking. She wants to take away private health insurance on the job. These are not positions that she took as a teenager in high school. These are positions she took as a 54-year-old woman running for president in her own right. That's the true Kamala Harris, a weak, dangerous San Francisco liberal. Kamala Harris is the one who owes the American people a lot more answers. Donald Trump can simply point at his record and say, for four years when I was president, we had peace, prosperity, prosperity.

a secure border, and we were respected around the world. That's what the American people remember. That's what they're going to get when they elect him again to the White House. This is our only job from this point forward. Folks, the only damaging political narratives are ones that change your preexisting notion of who a candidate is. Remember it, tattoo it on your forehead every time you look in a mirror. Well, maybe not a permanent tattoo. Don't forget it. Kamala Harris is introducing herself

To some American voters who may decide the election for the first time, Dan, she's vice president. Folks, I'm telling you, there are people who don't know who she is. Pull yourself out of your own bubble for a second. And I don't mean that as a dick. You guys are really smart. I promise you it's a compliment, not a backhanded one. You're like, who the hell doesn't know she's a San Francisco liberal? Trust me, the same people who didn't know the Hunter Biden laptop was real and said they would have voted differently.

Listen to your guy. There are people who are seeing her ads for the first time. Like she's running for president. Oh, wow. That seems cool. Opportunity economy. Wow. They don't even realize the economy that right now that has no opportunities. Hers.

This is Cotton's job. This is J.D.'s job. Is this clip from Tom Cotton on Deface the Nation going to be seen all over the country? No. But folks, if 100 people change their vote and go, holy shit, that's right, this guy's not crazy, that's what we need. This is who she is. Wait, I'm going to go to the DEI one next.

How does this one make you feel? And the thing is about my show is it's not difficult to prove to you who Kamala Harris is because I don't need to play third parties. I only have me, Kamala Harris, and a third party. All I have to do is play Kamala Harris. I don't need someone talking about Kamala Harris like Cotton, although it's helpful. I can just play Kamala Harris.

How do you feel right now if you're in North Carolina, Western North Carolina, underwater or trying to recover from just an entire annihilation of your town? If you're in East Tennessee, Georgia, the panhandle of Florida, how do you feel right now that this is Kamala Harris's position on disaster relief, which is your money? You've given it to the federal government at the end of a barrel of a gun. They'll arrest you if you don't.

How do you feel that Kamala Harris running for president, her stated position on this was that we really need to start looking into disaster relief through like a DEI lens. Oh, really? So if you happen to be white and live in Asheville, North Carolina or someone else, you should get less money than someone else who happens to be a minority, even though you have paid the same lesser or more taxes. I don't have to play a third party.

I only have to play Kamala in her own words because this is who she is. Go with it. It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making. And women.

Absolutely. And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place. And if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities and do that work. Thank you.

You never notice how the communist equity people, equity like Kamala Harris, are never willing to live by the lifestyle they want you to subscribe to? Did you ever notice that? Kamala Harris grew up in upper middle class existence to upper middle class parents. Look it up. Look at the neighborhood she grew up with north of the border. Go look. It is not a poverty stricken area by any stretch.

Kamala Harris is now a very wealthy person. She's the vice president of the United States. Yet, why doesn't Kamala Harris redistribute her own income to make sure that everyone else who's struggling has the equity she says you should subscribe to as a governing business model? The answer is because she's full of shit.

And so is every other rich liberal loser out there who won't do a damn thing to lift a finger for anyone except if it's giving the middle finger to immigrants they're shipping off their rich enclaves in Martha's Vineyard. These people are full of shit.

Imagine your house, your neighborhood, your drugstore, your job, and your grocery store were just wiped out. And you're getting a lecture from Kamala Harris about how, hey, you may have had a little more, so you're going to get a little less from us, even though the government at the barrel of a gun has been stealing your money forever. This is who she is, folks. It's who she is. All I've got to do is play it for you. This is who she is. Imagine you're this North Carolina resident.

This is a video of the one viral. She's describing the horror of Hurricane Helene and its effects on North Carolina and elsewhere too, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida. Let's not forget that. I want you to pay very close attention to what she says at the end. Kamala Harris, who's all for big government stealing your money to give to other people, even though she's rich and famous and won't do a damn thing to help people herself. Either will Joe Biden. Joe Biden takes from the Chinese Communist Party. He didn't give to anyone. I want you to listen to this resident at the end and say, listen,

This is bad and if you think the government's coming to save you, you're out of your mind. No truer words have ever been spoken. Listen to this. The looting has picked up major steam. I was advised yesterday by a county sheriff to make sure that anybody out and about is carrying and in his words, carrying with the safety off. There are very aggressive people out there and I'm just gonna go ahead and say this. It's not because they're necessarily awful. They're desperate.

Desperate people do desperate things, y'all. And why are they desperate? Because there's no water in some of these communities. We have neighbors in North Carolina with no water. And all I can say is this. The government ain't coming to save you. Not now. Not ever. Because they don't care about you, the people, anymore. It is the citizens who are going to have to step it up.

Folks, I can't warn you in strong enough terms if you live in a disaster zone that if you don't have a competent conservative in charge, you are screwed. We live down here in Florida. You have a hurricane. DeSantis and the state governments are all over it. I live here. Don't tell me it didn't happen.

Luckily, my area specifically hasn't been through a hurricane with DeSantis in charge or a serious one. But friends, family of mine who live on the West Coast have. People I know over in Sanibel, the area I ran for Congress, I know the area well. I ran for Congress there. They can't believe how quick the response is.

This is what happens when you have a government limited in scope that understands it's to provide police services, fire services, some roads within the state, some court services, and be there in emergencies. And it doesn't try to do everything else because then it does nothing right.

I want you to see this. This is important. I told you before about the Admiral Stockdale moment. And it's important just from a historical perspective, not from a critical one at this point. There's no point in doing that. But from a historical lens, understand how this was a really, really serious moment. Ask any political historian, they'll tell you this was pretty much the end of any political aspirations for Admiral Stockdale. He was on the stage in a debate and

I'm going to tell you, I placed the Hong Kong J.D. Walls, excuse me, Tim Walls J.D. debate. I placed Walls' Hong Kong answer up there with this as one of the most destructive answers you possibly could have given. There were a thousand ways to weasel his way out of that. He picked the worst one. But here's the Stockdale moment. I told you I'd show it to you. Check this out. Who am I? Why am I here? I'm not a politician. Everybody knows that.

So don't expect me to use the language of the Washington Insider. 37 years in the Navy and only one of them up there in Washington. And now I'm an academic. The centerpiece of my life was the Vietnam War. I was there the day it started. I led the first bombing raid against North Vietnam. I was there the day it ended and I was there for everything in between. Ten years in Vietnam, aerial combat and torture.

I know things about the Vietnam War better than anybody in the world. I know some things about the Vietnam War better than anybody in the world. And I know how governments, how American governments can be courageous and how they can be callous. And that's important. That's one thing I'm an insider on. Folks, the sad thing was this guy, this gentleman, was a real hero.

It still is. I mean, it's, you know, this doesn't take away from it. And that just, that moment, once it was seen by so many people, the word is I heard from people who were around him at the time from my prior line of work, who were there and saw it. And it's kind of filtered down. It said he got back in the car after that and just realized like that was kind of the end for him. So, but I'm going to tell you last night with walls, he did himself no favors.

Folks, I had so much more I want to get to. Maybe I'll get to it on the radio show. I will definitely get to it tomorrow. We didn't even get to address the Middle East crisis, the biggest ballistic missile attack ever, and they wind up killing the Iranians. What? One Palestinian showing how absolutely feckless they are in a war with civilization versus the savage picked civilization. You'll never go wrong.

But remember, the sound bites and snapshots last night were terrible for Walsh. This was targeted at the 0.5% of people out there, and JD did exactly what he needed to do. And I tell you that with the most objective cerebral cortex I can.
