Shownotes Transcript

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, I'm really, really trying. I'm really desperately trying to temper my excitement because, you know, it's I know you want to throw up here in it again, but.

I don't want to get into any kind of red wave talk or anything like that because it serves no good purpose. I know you've heard it a thousand times, but it's important. You have to be redundant about these things just to remind people that nothing is even close to over. But I'm not an idiot either. I was out this weekend, like out, out. For those of you who don't know me particularly well personally, maybe from the show, I don't get out much. Justin, can you vouch?

I just don't like I'm usually working all week. It's, you know, it's, it's just, it's just what it is. You know, I like my job, whatever. But I was out this weekend a lot. I was out at the Stewart's Sandbar, ran into a lot of people. I gave one guy my shirt after having a couple too many adult sodas. I actually gave him like my actual shirt, not like the, oh yeah, I gave him the shirt off my back. No, I gave him my actual shirt. So I got in an Uber on the way home for obvious reasons.

And the guy's like, hey, man, you got a shirt? I'm like, actually, I don't. Actually, I don't. Luckily, it was right down the block. So I gave him a $200 tip because I felt real for driving like seriously a half a mile because I felt so bad. But I gave him my I'm voting for the outlaw shirt. And I'm telling you, I was out there this weekend at the Sandbar with a whole lot of people in a 50-50 county where I live, 50-50 Democrats and Republicans. That's what it is, Martin County, Florida, close to it. And...

I cannot tell you how many people came up and were like, dude, I brought like 20 people to the polls. Man, the excitement is real, man. I'm telling you, you got skin in the game right now. There's no way you want to be Kamala Harris. Don't get too crazy. Counting the chickens. No, no, no. But man, I feel good about things. By the way, big win for Auburn this weekend. War damn eagle, fellas. Thank you for a great effort.

All right, fellas, let's go. Hey, a quick note. Thank you for everybody who tuned in to Friday's debate with Cenk Uygur from the Young Turks.

Folks, listen, I know some of you didn't expect that. I'm a pretty passionate guy, but if I invite someone on my show to debate and they agree to it and they're rather courteous with their time, I'm not a liberal dickhead, okay? I'm going to make sure that it's a respectful debate where they're allowed to speak. I think it's rude. I hope you guys enjoyed it. The audience for a Friday was a little down, but the funny thing was the video on demand numbers were...

We're amazing. So I don't know if people are watching other things, but I'm glad you guys liked it. Appreciate all the positive feedback. Not sure if we'll be doing it again, maybe even more on the radio, but I liked it. Thank you all for tuning in. Let's get to the show. Folks, it's getting away from them. It is.

It is. Again, no chicken counting. Forget that bullshit. I don't want to hear anything. I'm just saying it is getting away from them. There is no serious observer of politics, Democrat or Republican, who right now is not saying to yourself, man, this does not look good for them. Can they pull it out? Can they cheat? Can Democrats show up in a blue wave on election day? Yeah. But now the strange thing that's happening now is in contrast to 2016 or 2020,

where I think the media still had a foothold in the American psyche, the hakoon media, and the Nazi fascist bullshit they put out there, which is insulting and disgusting and freaking gross. I think in 2016 and 2020, when they still had a little bit of power, that scared people off. Do you in the chat agree? Seriously, I'm not saying you, you guys all had balls and you were early movers on the MAGA movement. I get that. I'm not talking about you, obviously.

But there were, what do you call them, the normies out there, I guess you'd call them, right? They were still kind of like, man, I can't wear my red hat in the supermarket, whatever. Folks, that shit's all gone. Did you see this that happened last night on Sunday Night Football at the end of the 49ers, 49ers, San Francisco 49ers, and the Dallas Cowboy game? You see Nick Bosa show up in the interview with a MAGA hat on. Folks, it's gone mainstream now. Look at this. Check this out. Yeah, watch, watch, watch.

There it is. There's Nick Posa.

You know what? Did I send you guys? I don't think I did. Was it Texas Tech? The punter on a fake punt? I thought he comes in. Yeah, the Texas Tech guy. He's got this Trump 2024. Folks, it's gone totally mainstream. The mainstream media is sitting there. They're like, Nazi, fascist, racist, racist, fascist, Nazi. Then they mix it up. Fascist, racist, Nazi, fascist.

Nobody's listening. Nobody's listening. Even Axios had this piece talking about how the mainstream media is dying. I got a tweet coming up from David Sachs later in the show. Hopefully I get to it. Big tech investor saying we're probably four or five years away from the media being totally irrelevant and ignored in a mainstream media press cycle.

Everything's gone mainstream. Oh, there it is. Look, Trump 2024. This was after a fake field goal attempt. The Texas Tech kicker or something, or punter, whatever it was. Look at this.

Trump 24, it's gone totally mainstream. Now, the snapshots and the soundbites from this weekend were insane. You had mainstream media people on MSNBC crying, bitching, moaning, griping. Okay, sad and pathetic when nobody's watching him. And you had a collective, you know, 20, 30 million people across all platforms watching what was effectively another RNC at Madison Square Garden.

I'd never seen anything like it. Here's some of the images from the Trump rally. Madison Square Garden, folks, in the middle of deep blue New York, my original home state. I never thought I'd see anything like this. The last time I was at Madison Square Garden, I think I was watching a video thing of some WWF before they were WWE. And look, the Hulkster was back again. Check this one out. Trumpomaniacs, the energy in here is something like I've never felt. The energy of all.

these Trump-o-maniacs is the most powerful force in the universe. And today, this is Donald Trump's house, brother.

Who do you want to be, man? Who do you want to be? You want to be Tampon Tim playing video games with AOC? I mean, actually, in the literal sense, playing video games with AOC on Twitch? Nothing wrong with you. I love video games. I love video games. Gamers out there, you've been great to rumble on elsewhere. I'm just saying, like, I think the gamers themselves would acknowledge that if you were a gamer running for president, you wouldn't be playing games. You'd be running for president. You'd be doing rallies and stuff. You got Tim Walls playing video game football with AOC playing

While Trump's selling out Madison Square Garden. Madison Square Garden, in the heart of deep blue New York with an overflow crowd outside, my Secret Service friends told me he probably could have filled up Madison Square Garden again. Then this happened yesterday. Again, you want to be Trump or do you want to be Kamala Harris? You want the Hulkster or do you want Kamala Harris and Tampon Tim?

Here's Elon Musk, who was a surprise guest. I got to tell you, folks, I got some pretty good contacts in the Trump team. I didn't even know this was going down. Elon Musk made an appearance in Madison Square Garden and came out in a surprise appearance to just an unbelievable round of applause after being one of the main figures saving free speech in America. You got to watch this. It's snapshots and soundbites, kids. And there was no better snapshot of the weekend than this one. Check this out. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Elon Musk.

Give it up for the greatest capitalist in the history of the United States of America, Elon Musk. Folks, the rally was amazing. It was amazing. Don't get distracted. Oh, come here.

The comedian made a joke that's a lefty distraction mechanism. It's insane that now the speech police on the left that have spent the entire week in impugning the integrity of MAGA supporters, calling them Nazis, murderers, racists, that now all of a sudden they're concerned about a comedian. So look at this. Look at some of the screenshots from the left. Trump's MSG rally comes 85 years after a Nazi...

he rallied these people holy the union can you imagine like oh my god i know we need it i'm sorry get on the case there is a group of nazis they are a threat to american security the equivalent of world war ii all coalescing and madison square garden i want fingerprints of all attendee

Fegazi's back again. Fegazi's... They want everybody in a lineup daisy-chained out of there. These people are freaking nuts. They are crazy. They're crazy people.

Folks, they are absolute lunatics. You understand they have nothing else. Are you seriously telling me that anyone who appears at Madison Square Garden, from Pitbull to Bill Clinton to Donald Trump, that you should be compared to the Nazis because 85 years ago they had a rally? Do you know how desperate you have to be, man? Do you have any idea? Now, this is where I get worried.

serious time by the way you joining us election night chat do your thing who's joining us election night 7 30 p.m it's the only place to be forget cable news forget everything else 7 30 p.m you got me you've got a vita julie kelly mike bend adam gillette savannah hernandez you got a stacked lineup and we will be auctioning off key we got anything for this auction yet we gotta work on

on this. The Donald Trump signed baseball from the podcast. All proceeds, and I mean all, will be going to Samaritan's Purse. So if you want to bid on that baseball, we will show you the check and the receipt. So yes, election night. Bust that chat up. Yes.

You're all going to be here. We're going to be kicking ass and taking names on election night. I got to tell you, I'm not feeling great. I'm feeling good. But go and vote early. I put out the... Guy, you're the Star Wars expert. What's the actor's name who plays Kylo Ren? Adam, of course, he knows. Adam Driver. You know the more Giphy? More! More early voting. Can you get a screenshot of that Giphy? The more...

Show up early in person. More. More. Bring it, folks. Bring it. Bring it every day. Vote early. Ten people. More. Make them freak out so much. They panic. They're going to try to make water mains break. There's going to be some cyber attack. It doesn't matter. It's only going to affect them. Here it is.

Every day, more, early, in person. This was just for Guy. I did that. I just want you to know that because Guy is the resident Star Wars expert on this show. By the way, that may be the greatest gif of all time. Wouldn't you agree? Come on. I wasn't even a huge fan of the remakes and stuff, but that's a pretty cool gif every day.

Every day. If we go ahead, if we go ahead on early voting and something happens on election day, the Democrats are screwed, not us. You understand my logic? Your boy's not crazy. And I'm telling you right now, if we win and we win by a handy margin, if you're going to remember what I told you, you're messing their plans up. Having said that, I'm a little concerned about something I've been warning you about. Folks, a lot of good connected people.

Nothing to panic about, but it's definitely something to be concerned about. If we pull this off on election night or the day after, whenever they call it, November 5th, November 6th,

I am reasonably convinced November to January is going to be the most chaotic period we've seen in American history. They've got their street thugs ready to go. They're going to do everything they can to stop us from swearing in the Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. It's not going to happen. We are going to swear in. We're going to follow the legal process. But the Democrats are already getting ready to tie this thing up. Wall Street Journal this weekend. Democrats ready thousands of lawyers for final days of the race. Here is their plan. I want you to listen to me.

Listen close. Everybody pay attention. It's super important.

Their plan is to never concede no matter what. That's why you've got to make this thing a route. Folks, you've got to pressure them to concede. I was talking to a Republican you all know, very popular guy this weekend, called me on Saturday. He knows who he is, good dude. And we were talking about how when this thing, if we can make it mathematically impossible for them to win, in other words, Trump's ahead by whatever, 10,000 votes and there's only 2,000 outstanding to count, we should count every vote. But at that point, every vote doesn't matter.

It matters for you voting, but it doesn't matter the outcome. If we're up 10,000 and there's only 2,000 votes left, even if Biden, excuse me, Harris won every one, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. We've got to make it a math problem for them because their plan now is if it's even remotely close and she's down a couple points and it looks impossible, they are not going to concede and are going to sue, sue, sue. And we've got to make this a mathematical, laughable possibility that these guys are still holding out, kind of like we did with Stacey Abrams. We have to.

Look at these numbers, man. Here's Eric Daughtry, an account I've really been enjoying. Eric L. Daughtry, good follow for election numbers. He's being sarcastic here. He says, well, folks, it was fun while it lasted in Florida. The in-person Democrat surge finally came, sadly. He's being sarcastic. The in-person early voting margin for Republicans plummeted, he notes. Yesterday it was R plus 27, 27.

Now it's R plus 26.5. Folks, Justin, you're a South Florida resident. Miami-Dade, pretty blue, right? Yes, usually is right. Usually not, unless Donald Trump's on the ballot or DeSantis' second term. Miami-Dade Republicans are kicking ass in early voting. Folks, it's not just Miami-Dade. Look at Nevada. Nevada, a state that's gone blue for a long time. Look at this. This is just from the other day.

Republicans are up 30,944. More. Put that giphy in the chat. Pile it on. Pile it on. Make them panic on election day. Make them panic and get sloppy because I'm telling you if they're going to cheat, they're going to cheat anyway. You better make it sloppy so that we can figure it out. Don't make it close. Make it impossible. Make it impossible.

Make it a mathematical impossibility. Now, back to my point. They are not going to concede, folks. They are not going to concede. And every freaking Democrat lawyer in the country is going to sue over every vote. If you make it a mathematical impossibility, 2,000 outstanding votes, we're up by 10. This thing becomes a fait accompli. It doesn't matter at that point. This is what we have to do. Swamp it.

early and in person. I don't care what anybody's telling you. Whoever's telling you otherwise is lying. Donald Trump at the Madison Square Garden rally on the screen up top in the center above the court. What did it say? You see, it said vote early.

You think he's crazy? Get out there because they're going to go nuts. I want you to watch this segment here. Here's Megyn Kelly, very smart. Megyn Kelly, I've known Megyn a long time, always been very nice to me. She's on Bill Maher's show. Bill Maher here loses. I wouldn't be dramatic, but is quite upset. I'll leave it at that. Bill Maher is quite upset when Megyn Kelly tells you exactly what I've been telling you. They're not going to concede this thing.

And they are going to be the new election deniers, air quotes. Bill Maher doesn't like this because he knows it's true. Check this out. Well, don't think there won't be denialism if Kamala Harris loses, too. There won't be the same. OK, but there's going to be. I mean, they're already laying the foundation for lawfare. We're going to be stuck in this election one way or the other, no matter who wins for weeks. Well, there's no evidence of that. Democrats have never done that. They've conceded. We already had this fight on my show. Hillary Clinton is the original election denier.

I've done an election denier. Yes, she is. Come on, man. It's different between grumbling. Yes, they grumble and they shouldn't and maybe it goes over the line. It's different between grumbling about something and actually trying to overturn it like he did. I mean, you know this. Why do we have to go through this? That's fine. You know.

You're allowed to file legal challenges in response to an election, which is what Trump did. And he lost and he did wind up leaving office. I'm not going to defend his behavior on January 6th. I never have. And I'm not going to start tonight. But if you don't think there's going to be denialism on the Dem side, you haven't been paying attention to what's been happening on that side for these years. You know, I think I've been reasonably fair to Bill Maher. I'm not going to listen to any bullshit otherwise, because if you're going to say otherwise, you don't listen to my show. I think I've been pretty fair to him.

What he just said there, Bill, let me talk to you direct. I've never been on your show, don't know you, we're not friends, whatever. Nothing personal. You know, sometimes he can give an honest assessment. What you just said there is absolute bullshit. You should be embarrassed. The Democrats were just grumbling while Trump, like, took some, what, extra legal action? Is that what you were insinuating? One, he did nothing of the sort. Who's in the White House right now? Despite the fact that almost every credible Republican thinks he lost. Joe Biden.

Trump walked out of the White House like every other president who lost whatever, even if you believe that to be true. What do you tell? He filed legal cases and that was the end of it. That's what happened. Did it not?

He tried to overturn it. Oh, the Democrats didn't. So you're suggesting to me that the FBI, through Hillary Clinton, Jim Comey, and the intelligence communities through Brennan and Clapper, that spied on Donald Trump, colluded with foreign entities to hijack our justice system to prosecute their political enemies, that Trump did something worse than that? I mean, is that a joke? Are you shitting me?

That Stacey Abrams, who still has not admitted that that's a lawful result to her governor's election laws, that that somehow was just empty words? That stuff matters, dude. Hillary Clinton still insisting the Russians and some troll farms stole the election from her? Man, I'm sorry, man, but you're full of shit. That is embarrassing. That is embarrassing.

The entire justice system was hijacked to steal Trump's presidency away, and you're sitting there pretending like it was just talk? Cut the shit, man. Be better. Be better. That's embarrassing. We've given an honest take on you. That shit's embarrassing. And my audience is bigger than yours, too. So slow your roll on that bullshit.

That's a great point. How can you? That's a nice transition. I got another one coming up next from Ben's, by the way. I'm telling you, Megan's right. They are getting prepared to freak out if we lose. Hey, you having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Listen, I've been there. Guess what? There's hope on the horizon. Beams dream powder.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's it. Okay. That's good to know. You put up another one. Is that like, you wrote this up for the next one? Okay, good. You're just messing my whole mojo up here.

I'm kidding, folks. Yeah, that's how they work. Here's Mike Benz on exactly what I was telling you before. They are planning in this November to January period for street dog type Antifa BLM violence. Folks, I need you to listen to me. I would never steal you wrong. You know, I always tell you panic kills. Don't panic. But you better be prepared. And this is a little message that goes out to our local sheriffs and our constitutional sheriffs.

If this is going to happen, I don't want it to happen anywhere. But if it's going to happen in liberal cities and they're going to allow it, there's nothing I can do. But you better be prepared. Shut this shit down. Assembly, legal assembly, constitutionally protected speech. You know the rules. You don't need a lecture from me.

But breaking the law and violence? No way. Here's Mike Benz on this topic. Check this out. Is your sense that on, say, January 20th, if Trump does win clearly in the election, is your sense that on January 20th, Trump will be inaugurated or no? Well, if he wins on November 5th, it's going to set up this scenario that we're now, you know, talking about with Jamie Raskin,

This period between November 5th and January 6th is going to be extremely intense. If Trump wins, you are going to see, my sense is that you will see street paramilitary left wing slash never Trump right even potentially. You're going to see this sort of be it summer of love, summer 2020 style thing.

riot force start to break out on the streets, the media is going to portray them as pro-democracy groups who are protesting the illegitimacy of the Trump Electoral College victory. You're going to see that. So that's going to shut down the country. It's going to start terrorizing people. It's going to start preventing people from being able to communicate.

Folks, you know, you got Megan talking about it. You got Ben's talking about it. You got me talking about it. I'm not making this up, man. I'm not trying to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery and gum things up. I'm just telling you, like, if you watch the signs and the signals, there's a way to stop this. And the way to stop it is for our constitutional sheriffs and police chiefs out there to

Everyone has a right to speak. We get it. We all have constitutional rights and everybody knows what to do with that. However, jumping in the street, chaining yourself to stuff, burning down buildings, you got to cut that off. You've got to take the Rudy Giuliani approach to riots in New York when I was a cop. You know what that approach was? First person that throws a rock goes to jail. Second person that throws a bottle goes to jail. You know what happens to the third person? Nothing! Because there wasn't a third person. That's how you stop it. You don't just say, let him blow off some steam.

You don't do any of that. You shut that shit down right away, period. Get ready for it. It's coming. I hope you're all listening. Spread the word around. Folks, something else happened last week. Snapshots and sound bites between the Madison Square Garden rally, which provided the best snapshots of the weekend. Remember, folks, 90% of voters out there did not see the whole rally. 95%. They saw what?

Pictures and sound bites. That is it. And they were powerful. They were powerful. But something else happened last week that was a game changer. Listen, I on a very candid note, I'm very grateful to the Bongino Army for making us the number one political live stream in the United States.

But we are not the number one podcast. We're not. Our audience is not as big as Joe Rogan's. And there are shows that are bigger than ours. Rogan is one of them. He's probably got two, three times the audience. He's got a massive, massive following, Joe Rogan. A lot of people objected to Trump going on Joe Rogan. I understand that. I think it was a huge W. I think it was an enormous mistake to knock it on there earlier. I know it was kind of up to Joe. Joe is not a particularly political guy, folks. You know...

Just get away from that for a minute. It's about going to speak to people who may not have seen Trump in his natural kind of back and forth environment for who he is. The Rogan interview was a big W. I want you to watch why. This has nothing to do with politics.

This is Trump and Rogan discussing who the greatest UFC fighter is of all time. This is the kind of conversation I need you to understand in a war of snapshots and soundbites. Neither Tampon Tim or Kamala Harris can have. Everything they do is fake. Let me give you a quick example of what I mean. Sorry, I don't want to go on too long, but this is really important. Trump and Rogan are going to start talking about who the greatest UFC fighter is, right? Kamala Harris, when she's asked that question, what do you think she's saying in her head? Anyone in the chat know where I'm going with this?

Justin, what she's doing in her head is she's going, well, if I say Connor, do you think the I'll get more of an Irish vote? If I say Khabib, do you think I'll get more of, say, like a Muslim vote? If I say John Jones, Trump doesn't do any of that. It's true. I mean, I am being generous, assuming Kamala Harris actually knows any of that. She doesn't. But assume she was smart, which she's not.

Trump doesn't do that. He's just talking like a normal person. He doesn't have to overthink everything. Here's what I mean, and you'll see the difference. Check this out. The greatest UFC fighter, are you allowed to say, in your opinion, it's tough for you to say because you do this, but who do you think is the greatest of the fighters? There's a lot of arguments for who's the greatest of all time. You know, Jon Jones, most people would say is the greatest of all time, never lost anything.

It's a there's certainly a really good argument for that. There's another argument for George St. Pierre I always leave in BJ Penn in his prime Anderson Silva and his prime You know Mighty Mouse people forget about Mighty Mouse because unfortunately, he's a smaller guy. It's 125 pounds flyweight champion He's one of the greatest expressions of mixed martial arts I've ever seen I think to this day and Khabib is fantastic and

But if you looked at accomplishments in terms of championship fights, Khabib retired 29-0, but he didn't have as many world championship fights. And probably never lost a round. He might have lost to Gleason Tebow. He might have lost to him. Around. He might have lost a round. And that was a controversial fight where people think that Gleason Tebow could have even got the decision in that fight. I'd have to go back and watch it again to make a decision. They're great athletes. Oh, the best athletes in the world.

Tommy Feagans in the chat says UFC is barbaric. I never want. What's barbaric about it? Fight sports have been going on since the beginning of time.

Men like to challenge each other in combat sports. They're not killing each other. It's all regulated. I don't understand what the point is. These guys work out hard. You know, they train hard. Fight sports have always been a, I don't know. I don't want to get into it. I appreciate your comment, Tommy, but I just totally disagree. By the way, UFC is the fight league. It used to stand for ultimate fighting championship, but now they just go by regular old UFC. They kind of lost that. But this was an amazing conversation.

It's natural. It's how normal people speak. And it does humanize Donald Trump for a lot of people who listen to Rogan, who like Rogan are not particularly political. Rogan's not a particularly political guy.

I think it was a big W. You're free to disagree. I'm just telling you that was it. And someone in the chat said they didn't really like the debate. I was just reading the chat. Someone said disappointment. Okay, I appreciate your, again, your comments. I didn't think so at all. I actually had a really good time and I appreciate them coming on. Now I want to show you next the difference, the contrast between Donald Trump having this really natural back and forth about the fighters and then Kamala Harris.

totally unrelatable, pretends to have this beer moment with Gretchen Whitmer. She doesn't even know how to drink a beer. And then she's sitting there. It's the most artificial contrived thing you've ever seen. Look at this contrast and you tell me who's winning the snapshots and soundbite award. Folks, when it comes to protecting your family, it's not just about having a firearm. Lethal force isn't the answer for every situation.

Imagine an imminent threat comes to you and your family. Instinct may drive you to reach for a firearm immediately, but what if there are a way to defend yourself and de-escalate that situation without the irreversible consequences of deadly force? I've got an option for you, Burna. They have a non-lethal pistol launcher equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo, which can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. I use one, I have one, no need to go DEFCON 1, we just need protection to ensure we can defuse the situation and drive the threat away.

I trained with firearms most of my adult life. The pistol Berna sent me was one of the easiest to learn and to use. If you don't own a firearm, even if you do, it's a great option to have. Made in America, legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks and shipped right to your door.

Compare Trump, Captain Relatable, to this scene. Here is Kamala Harris. She's sitting there with Gretchen Whitmer, the dreadful governor of Michigan, trying to pretend to drink a beer. And I want you to watch the fake sip. If you're listening on Apple and Spotify later, you've got to watch this. Here, who drinks beer like this, folks? Look, watch. Look, look, the fake cheers. Look, watch. Can you pause that? We're all wondering. Folks in the chat.

Did she actually consume any of the fermented liquid there at all? So there, you see the beer is full. There's a little layer of foam at the top. Can we do it now? She stopped right there.

Folks in the chat, anyone there, forensic videographers, I'm reasonably convinced if you can do some kind of like percentage of foam left at the top that she actually drank none of the beer whatsoever. What the hell is that? Who drinks beer like that? You know what? If you're going to drink a beer, she should have done a freaking stone cold. Smack that shit. Boom. Guzzled that would have been like, damn, damn. She might've actually garnered a few votes.

So before, okay, wait. There's nothing. She didn't. I don't even think she did that. Justin says a little bit of the head of the beard. I don't even think. No, no, no. Folks, what's the rule? I think, did we break the chat again? There's no. Yes, she didn't take it. You're right. There is zero chance she took a sip of that beer.

I mean, again, the sound bites and the snapshots. Look at the fake gesticulate. Oh, my gosh. Look, there's cameras here like we didn't know. It is embarrassing. Look, I'd love to change. Hey, cheers. Look, watch me fake drink a beer. Pretend like I'm one of you. Next time, stone cold that shit. Stone cold that beer. This reminds me of Elizabeth Warren. Remember that? Do you want a beer?

People hate this shit. I'm going to tell you something. I'm going to be straight with you. I haven't had a beer in a long time. I prefer tequila. I'm not telling you drinking is bad for you. But what happens, like, I enjoy myself on the weekend. I'm just telling you. If you ask me to drink tequila, I promise you I'm not faking it. I'm not saying. I'm just saying. I have evidence. The bottle goes from here to here to the garbage.

I'm not telling you it's good. I'm not telling you it's good. I'm just saying it is. You're going to drink a beer. Drink the freaking beer. Folks, she has no closing message either. She has no message. Her messages were moving forward, but she can't say moving forward from what? She's still in this like, can you put the Axios article first? She's got this thing now where she doesn't want to bash the Biden record because it's very liberal.

Yet the Biden record's been bad for everyday Americans, and she doesn't know how to separate herself without bashing him. So now they're stiff-arming Biden in the final stretch. How do I know that? Because communist Axios is reporting on it. Not me. I mean, this is like to the left of Stalin. Harris stiff-arms Biden in the final stretch. They don't want this guy around.

They don't want him around. They don't know what to do. They have no message, man. This is why the fascist Nazi stuff is not sticking. Everybody remembers the Trump years. Everyone.

And they unfortunately remember Biden-Harris. Here's Scott Jennings on CNN, a guy I've come to really like a lot, talking about this phenomenon that she simply cannot escape the prior three and a half and three and three quarters years. And this is why she's in a world of trouble now that we are just eight days away. Check this out.

And honestly, he's more popular now than he's ever been. His administration is more popular than it's ever been. Look where he came from when he left office to right now. There's one reason why he's more popular today than he's ever been, because people are comparing it to what they've got now. And they're saying, I want to go back. And yet it's a dead heat against somebody who's only been in the race 13 weeks.

Well, you act as though she just landed here on a spacecraft 13 weeks ago. She's been the vice president for an entire term. She was in the United States Senate. She did not show up here 13 weeks ago. She has a record as vice president. And I think what's hurting your campaign is that she also has a record when she ran for president.

And she said a lot of things that have come back to haunt her. Yeah, but that's a different world. I mean, I can go back 10 years when Donald Trump said he wanted to tax oil companies out of existence. You can talk about Section 230. You can talk about Bitcoin. You can talk about abortion. There's a long list of things that Donald Trump has flip-flopped on. But he was the president, and he has a record. And she was the vice president, and she has a record. Yeah, but what kind of record? But you know that whole comparison isn't legit because the vice president doesn't do anything.

Folks, I got to tell you, Mark Cuban is seriously, I'm kidding you not, he may be a smart business guy. I don't know. I don't know his business deals. I really don't care.

You know, I know him from Shark Tank and from the Mavericks. That's it. And when I say know him, I don't know him personally, obviously. He, I'm not kidding, is probably one of the worst high-profile political analysts I've ever seen. I have never seen a guy with worse political instincts so eagerly jump into the political forum than Mark Cuban. He's out there advocating right now. This is what Mark Cuban, Mark, let me help you, just like I'm trying to help Bill Maher before. Don't embarrass yourself, okay?

You know, guys like me will cover people like you fairly because that's my job. You're humiliating yourself. What you're saying is ridiculous. You're saying Donald Trump said some things to that are offensive to you and you didn't like, but he didn't actually do those things. That's different. That's different.

Donald Trump did stuff and is now running on the record of what he did. Close the border, tackle inflation, tax cuts like that stuff he did. So what Donald Trump did, he's saying he's going to do again. So people believe I'm trying to help you, Mark. Follow my reason. What you're missing about Kamala Harris, because you really don't know what you're talking about here, is Kamala Harris did stuff, too. But now she's saying the opposite.

The Inflation Reduction Act was an attack on fracking. She's making it out like, oh, we expanded all these fracking leases. She's ignoring what they did tying them into offshore leases and then bottling them up. She's lying to you about all the money spent that caused inflation. She's lying to you about the border. Do you get it? Trump did stuff. It was good. He said he's going to do it again and people like it.

Yeah, he said other stuff too, no doubt. Kamala Harris did stuff. It was really bad. And now she's saying she's going to do the opposite of what she did that was really bad. And nobody believes her. Gosh, you're really bad at this, man. I'm really stunned at how a guy who's made this amount of money can't figure this out. And he keeps embarrassing himself with this unrealized capital gains tax thing. Kamala Harris has now reaffirmed her support.

For an unrealized capital gains tax. Folks, I don't know if you understand what that means. It means people are going to get taxed on money they don't even have or have never made. It just exists on paper. There is going to be a mass sell-off in the stock market if that happens. Fact. Cuban is running around. I don't get it. He's telling everyone this thing is the worst idea ever, but I support Kamala because she's not going to do it

Harris just doubled down support for it. This guy is, I get him. I've never, I really forget it. I've never seen, this guy needs to stick in the tech space.

Mark Halperin's another guy. You know, I've been playing some clips for him. He's a political analyst. You may like him. You may not. It's right on some stuff, wrong on the other. But ladies and gentlemen, again, this weekend was really bad for them. We've got eight days left. Vote early. Get out there. Vote in person. But there is real movement in the polls. I'm not telling you it's over. I'm just saying, listen to this guy. He's not really a partisan type guy.

saying, hey man, this movement's real and you ignore it at your own peril. Check this out. 48-48 national poll. The conventional wisdom has been, even though it may be false, that if Donald Trump is tied or within a couple points in the national poll, he's going to win. Now the New York Times says it's possible Tom Harris could win the Electoral College and lose the popular vote. We've talked about Trump overperforming from last time in the big blue states that could make him a bigger popular vote winner but still lose the Electoral College. Possible.

reaction two reactions I want to show you to that poll first Ron Brownstein 102. it's pretty Pro Harris but he's a great political analyst he says that this shows Kamala Harris the New York Times poll she's matching Joe Biden with white voters but she's doing less well with people of color particularly Latino voters and that's back to remember when Harris replaced Biden and after we saw some initial data there was a thought maybe Harris is stronger

than Biden in the Sunbelt states, weaker in the Rust Belt, this poll and other data suggests no, back to clear number one path

Rust Belt states. Okay, Mark Penn, Democratic pollster. Here's his tweet. Important to understand the context here. He's looking at all the polls, not just one poll. Snapshots, underlying changes. Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, private polling show movement for Trump. It's real movement, and it's real movement at the end, which suggests as voters are deciding, it's meaningful. But again, it's still close, and she can win. Folks, they're right. This is why I'm saying don't pop the champagne bottles in the corks yet, okay?

I'm just telling you the movement is legitimate. I am not a truster of polls. As I've said to you often, they are reliable but not valid. They're reliably wrong, and they're not a valid measure of where we stand. However, because they are reliably wrong, like a scale that's off 10 pounds every time, you can make up the difference by factoring in the mistake margin.

If it scales off by 10 pounds, then just subtract 10 pounds and you know your weight. If Donald Trump outperforms the polls by nine or five points, depending on 2016 or 2020, and you even cut that in half, the Kamala Harris campaign has to be sweating because they're going to win the popular vote in any normal presidential election on California and New York alone. And an overperformance.

If they're running even, can you imagine the kind of trouble they must be in behind closed doors? And listen, I am sensing a very real change here. Folks in the chat, tell me what you think about this. I'm really, you know, I asked, I've been wearing this shirt every day. Well, let's say more, but this, is it bad enough? This is the white one. Is it bad enough yet? I'm starting to sense that the answer may be yes. We'll know November 6th. We will know November 6th and they have the day after election day.

But folks, I'm starting to sense it. Are you starting to feel it? I opened up the show today. I've been very excited about getting in here because I was at the Sandbar this weekend. I'm telling you, I feel like this palpable energy, people coming up to the boat. Damn, what's up, man? We voted, brought like 10 people with me. My whole shop is voting for Trump. My friends voted for Trump. People never voted before voting for Trump. It's different. It's even different than 2016 and 2020.

I feel good. I don't feel great. I don't feel overconfident, but I'm sensing something too. These kind of elites and these people who know people who know people, the money people, have you noticed you've got Elon out there, obviously. You've got Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post saying that they're not going to endorse. You think Jeff Bezos is all of a sudden a MAGA guy? No, he's not. Folks, they know something.

These very, very wealthy people talk to connected people all the time. You got Bezos staying out of it. Elon's all in. You got Zuckerberg. Facebook's doing their thing. Facebook's already censoring conservatives. But Zuckerberg's been noticeably quiet. These are not our friends. I hope you understand what I'm saying. Don't send me a message, oh, do you think they're our friends? No, no. No. I'm telling you, though, our enemies are,

Bezos and Zuckerberg, people who generally hate us, have been really quiet. You've got RFK and Tulsi rolling over. Tulsi's now a Republican. You've got Rogan three hours with Donald Trump on the podcast. Trump goes on Logan Paul's show. He goes on the Nelk Boys show. Folks, you may not have heard of these people. They have huge followings.

You got Trump showing up at the UFC to a massive round of applause every time he goes. You got the Bitcoin crowd, very, very powerful voting bloc, all in for Donald Trump. It's not what they're saying. It's what they're doing. And it's not what our enemies are doing. It's what they're not doing. It's not what people like Elon and them are saying. Elon is in. It's what he's doing, showing up at rallies. And then our enemies, it's not what they're doing. It's what they're not doing.

It's nothing. They're staying out of it. They know something, folks. I'm telling you they know something. I want to show you this video. This is Eric Adams, the mayor of New York. The guy's a far-left liberal. I don't trust this guy as far as I could throw him. All right, let me just be clear. I have been a vigorous critic of this guy because I was a cop when he was in that time period, and I never thought he was a particularly smart guy, and he's really an attention hound.

However, Eric Adams is no doubt a lefty. Eric Adams was given a golden opportunity this weekend to shit all over Donald Trump at the MSG rally. Folks, this dude knows something's up, too. I want you to listen to his answer. You're probably going to be a little bit surprised. This was a ground ball. Trump's a fascist Nazi, right? You're going to do something about this MSG rally. You're the mayor of New York City. Can't have that in your city. No, it's not the answer he gave. Something's up, man.

It's not what they're saying. It's what they're doing. That rally went off without a hitch. Check this out. I think, as I've called over and over again, that the level of conversation, I think we could all dial down the temperature. And I've heard people say that the...

Former president should not be able to have a rally in Madison Square Garden. I strongly disagree. This is America. This is New York. And I think it's important that we allow individuals to exercise their right to get their message clear to New Yorkers. You think that's an accident? I've already told you that this guy I've known about him for a very long time.

He is a calculating political animal. Calculate. He does nothing by accident. Everything is scripted. I don't care. I don't need this guy as a friend. I'm just telling you, man, he knows something. He knows something. Hey, can we skip ahead to Sean Spicer and Megyn Kelly? Well, I may go back to JD in a second, but I want to, this is important. It fits better here. Sometimes I put the show together and it's just organically, I got to flip it around because I feel like something's happening. I got to make something different happen here and I like it.

I like the energy with this segment. Folks, nothing is working. This is why Eric Adams and Zuckerberg and Bezos, they're all either quiet or like implicitly defending Trump because they know what's up. It's why Alyssa Slotkin, it's why John Tester in Montana, two Democrat candidates for Senate are running ads about their ties with Donald Trump. Democrats, I didn't say that wrong.

They're sensing something is up. Everything they're doing is flopping. They trot out John Kelly again, who for some bizarre reason, after Trump got rid of him, he considers it his life's mission to go out and promote these fairy tales about Donald Trump and what he said, and they keep getting debunked. Now, I have not heard this before, but this is a really valuable take. Sean Spicer was a White House insider, spokesman with Donald Trump. Nobody knows the team better than Spicer, okay?

Sean was on Megyn Kelly's show and he gave an, this is it. I promise you it's interesting. I'm not overselling it. You know, it's someone else's show. It's not even mine. Megyn's a great interviewer. Sean's on there and he says, there's a reason John Kelly and a lot of these former military guys like Millie really dislike Donald Trump.

It has a lot to do with ego and them being used to being the ones in charge. This is a really fascinating take on why they keep trashing Trump. Check this out. Which is why are there so many administration officials who hate him, have quit, and are leaking to the press about how bad he was?

Again, as I said, I think some of them just have a personal animus towards him because of how they personally were treated or the advice that they were given. I watched it constantly in the Oval Office. Two people would come in, give him two versions of a policy, and then he would choose one person. The other person would walk out of there and say, fine, I'm going to

find people to undermine your argument. I'm going to leak it to the press. People around him have big egos. And when he said, I mean, I watched him bring in a bunch. We were talking about Afghanistan policy one day and he said, I want 10 enlisted soldiers to come in that have served in Afghanistan. And he sat around a table and said, tell me about your experience. And it pissed a lot of people off that he wasn't taking the advice of the more senior people and asking the actual enlisted folks to

Tell me what your experience has been. Did you understand the mission? Are we winning? Are we moving forward? Were you getting the equipment and the tools that you needed? They hated that. They hated the fact that they came in, gave their PowerPoint presentation, and they were being undermined by a guy who didn't just sign off on it with like a blank check. So I think Washington is full of a lot of guys with a lot of big egos that don't like the fact that when they come into a room, everyone doesn't just say, oh, great idea, let's move forward.

Folks, that is a brilliant take from a guy who was there. You're going to trust Spicer or you're going to trust other people? I have heard that from a number of people, not an iteration of it, not as specific, precise, or as eloquent as that, but that it's an ego business, that these people are now embarrassed that they feel like,

Someone who's an outsider who they're going to tell you is, oh, he's stupid. Trump's a cretin or whatever. That they got fired by him, it attacks their ego. These guys have been told by people as military higher-ups for a long time how important and special their decision-making is. And the fact that this guy they consider an outsider, a bouncer type, a queen's thug type,

you know, ace them on these decisions bothers them. So now do you understand why they're constantly trashing them? They're trying to protect their own legacy. That's what they're doing. But none of this stuff is catching on folks because nobody believes them because nobody believes the, the, the, the, the negativity coming from the media. No one believes it. The negativity is endless.

Here's David Sachs. This guy's a really smart tech investor. I really love this take. He says, I agree. Legacy media has lost most of its relevance and its credibility. He said, though, they still set the terms of the discourse. He's right. They're not completely dead yet.

He says most of the conversation's happening on X, but this is the takeaway. He says, well, no legacy media is over when it's ignored completely. Getting to that point should be the goal over the next four years. Folks, I'm telling you, we're on the path now. They are, I don't know, percentage-wise, what the hell matters, but they're about 40% as relevant as they were even 10 years ago, 20% hopefully in the next two years. And after that, nobody's going to listen to anything they say because they keep lying.

He gives the example. Legacy media asserts something. Alternative media, we debunk it. Legacy media doesn't even acknowledge it's debunks and moves on to asserting something else. We then debunk that. This is what's happening with the John Kelly story. The suckers and losers thing was already discredited. And now we're on to the next one. Trump said he loves Hitler. Nobody believes you, bro. Nobody believes you. Trump didn't want to pay for the funeral. Dear sister comes out of the woman who died and says that's not true. No.

Nobody believes you. No one. I'm going to hit a little bit of comic relief for you here. Is this a Maize Moore thing? This is hilarious. I want you to see how bad this candidate is too. The one thing the left wing still does is they'll still fall for media narratives. And they're trying to tell you now that Kamala Harris, even though they told you she was an idiot, is this credible, gifted, hopey, changey type Obama-like speaker. She is not. She's not a Bill Clinton speaker. She is an awful candidate. She is fake Trump.

She's not genuine, and she says the same things all the time. This is a great example. I want you to watch this. Check this out. Here's Kamala Harris giving her new line, Donald Trump should never sit behind the president. She screams it as if she's trying to engage in this faux rage-like boss routine. It's really pathetic. Watch this. Should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States.

Never again. Never again. Never again. Now, oh, this is Trump War Room. Sorry, Hat Tip. We love Mays so much. Hat Tip, Mays Moore, anyway, you have great clips. Here's a little montage, all played at the same time, of the exact same passionate, off-the-cuff Kamala Harris line that she said off-the-cuff and passionately over and over and over again. Check this out. I need a deal. I need a deal.

Is he the head?

And sometimes she cocks the hand, too, like just to let you know. It's fake, dude. This is all contrived, fake bullshit. The whole thing, the hand motion, the chop. Someone should say like, oh, my gosh, that's racist. It's like you're emulating the FSU hand chop. I mean, that's how ridiculous these people are. They look they're not fake. They're not authentic. They have no ability to do a back and forth.

In contrast to like a J.D. Vance type, right? Who will go on any network and just eat these people alive because he's smarter than them. Do you see this line this weekend he gave? He was interviewing with NBC and they asked him about inflation. He shuts that shit right down. Check this out. Senators, you know, inflation is coming down. Let me ask you about some of what we've heard here. It's 25% higher, Kristen, than it was when Donald Trump...

Let me tell you, let me ask you about the Americans feel like inflation is a solved problem. Then maybe they should vote for Kamala Harris. If you feel like the price of groceries, if you feel like the price of housing is too high, if you feel like inflation is not over, then Donald Trump is your man. Right? There's no doubt folks believe that groceries are too high. Just making the point that inflation has come down. I agree with those thoughts.

You sense what we're doing here? We're constantly painting the contrast because that's what it is in a binary system. It's a contrast between choice A and choice B. You've got this one candidate who looks worse because Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are so good at off-the-cuff conversations and extemporaneous thought, it makes Kamala Harris look even more contrived. If it were two contrived candidates, you wouldn't know the difference. They just both look contrived.

Here, I want to wrap with this one. A little more comic relief for you. Kamala Harris is amazingly debuting another accent. This is the world's worst actress. I'm serious. Here she is debuting her preacher's accent this weekend. What is this, accent number seven or eight? We're going to have to play these on election night. Folks, the world's worst actress. Check this out. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

The path may seem hard, the work may seem heavy, but joy cometh in the morning, and church morning is on its way. Folks, you'd think this woman is putting out like a sizzle reel for spots in various different movies going forward where she's going to play different people. I mean, it's really pathetic. The contrast is striking. She is so contrived and fake.
