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. Okay, to my haters, with a Z at the end. And I've got a lot of them that tune into the show. People are intimidated by the Bongino army now, you know, because it's growing by the day as we routinely kick everyone's asses in this space. To my haters.

I'm just asking you for the opening of today's show, maybe five, ten minutes. I'm just asking you for a second. Take your diapers off. Try to get unemotional. Put your Kleenex away. And just listen to the content of what I'm going to say. Forget the delivery mechanism. Because I know you hate me. Because I gave you a warning yesterday about what happened with Russia Hoax 3.0.

And unbelievably, I'm not talking to the liberals. I expect you guys to propagate Russia hoaxes. That's what you do. You're communist assholes. I'm not talking to you guys. You guys are just dipshits. To the swampy GOP folks, the sellouts and the losers in the primary and others, you fell right in a trap. And it's really shocking how easy it is to bait you in.

They got to clean this up or someone else is going to get hurt. I'm not having it. Hey, we all want to feel healthy and energetic. But listen, it doesn't have to be hard.

exercise, get some good sleep, have a healthy diet. And what does everybody, everybody out there in the health space tell you about a healthy diet? You have got to eat fruits and vegetables. Why?

Because these are all of the macronutrients, the micronutrients, the phenols, the compounds in there. Everybody's going to tell you, so why don't we do it? I get it. You don't want to go shopping for them. You don't want to prepare them. They're perishable. Totally understand. You should do it anyway. But if you can't, that's why I take Field of Greens twice a day. What is it? It is organic, wholesome, healthy fruits and vegetables, no extracts, no lab-made crap,

Just a scoop a day of these ground up, healthy, wholesome fruits and vegetables. I take two. I put it in green tea, water. I put in a little orange juice. Diluted orange juice sometimes. Field of Greens feeds your body with fruits and vegetables medically chosen to support your heart, vital organs, and immune system. Can't say enough positive things about it. I showed you my blood work. The proof is in the pudding. I've showed you multiple times.

First, before I get to these explosive Secret Service stories, someone's going to get hurt. Someone else is going to get hurt. Someone's already been murdered.

Corey comparator and three people been shot, including president Trump. Someone else is going to get hurt. I've been warning you. And again, more tips coming in folks. Changes are not enough. They need more changes. So I wake up this morning and I warned you yesterday that the DOJ FBI Russia collusion hoax 3.0, the, you know what? That AP article I was going to put at the end of the show, guys, I'm sorry, Justin, can I ask you to throw that in the beginning?

where it just basically says, folks, this was targeted not to liberals. Liberals already believe because they're freaking imbeciles that the Russia hoax 1.0 and 2.0 are real. They still believe Donald Trump and Putin colluded to steal an election and they still believe Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian up. This was not targeted at them.

To the GOP on-the-fence sitters, people who supported another candidate in a primary that lost, this was targeted at you. It was targeted at you to get you to believe that every conservative influencer and MAGA person out there was somehow influenced by Russia to support Trump.

I cannot believe how many idiots fell in this trap. Look at this AP article. When you're saying the same thing, the Associated Press, which are straight up communists are saying, pardon my language, you're fucking doing it wrong. Don't be a dumbass. Right wing influencers were duped to work for covert Russian operation, U.S. says.

Number one, these are just allegations. And by the way, to the left-wing dipshits, did you see this, Justin? I don't even follow an ex-SHA. They're like, oh, Bongino's worried. Do I look worried?

There's two middle fingers and me talking about both of these. How about telling you to go fuck yourself? Does that look worried? I'm so worried. I'm giving you the double middle finger telling you to go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself again. Go fuck yourself a third time. Does that sound like I'm worried? Or does that sound like I'm telling you to go fuck yourself with two middle fingers? I'm just curious. Justin, does that sound worried? When I came in this morning, did I look worried to you or trembling? What did I look like? I was telling people, go fuck yourself.

People who don't have a lot to worry about don't do shows telling people to go fuck themselves with double... I have...

The platform I invest in, I don't take money, I give money. That I invest in is banned in Russia, dumb motherfuckers, okay? So to the dumbasses who want to, like, hey, it's their budget, you keep it up. You keep wasting it. Dude, I understand that. I understand you're stupid and you're going to fall for anything. I'm not mad at you liberals. I expect communists to do communist stuff. That's exactly what I expect. What I did not expect...

Was for the GOP swampies to fall for this thing so quickly without an ounce of like, hey, is everything I'm being told true? Here's exactly what I mean. This angry motherfucker on Twitter, this guy just can't shut the fuck up. He's just this guy ever since the primary cannot shut his mouth. It doesn't matter. I've never seen a guy so bitter about life. I don't know who hurt this guy. Show us on the doll where they hurt you. I don't know.

But this guy, Justin underscore Hart, H-A-R-T, this tool bag on Twitter, wakes up this morning, posts my clip warning MAGA people to be careful.

If you actually listen to the clip he posted, because this dumb fuck is too stupid to do it himself. Folks, the language isn't for you today. Tune out. I understand. I'm not into cutesy time today. So if this language isn't for you, I totally understand. I don't need the views or the clicks. I'm not in the mood today for bullshit, especially this dip, dip shit. Okay.

I am going to say again, after what happened to General Flynn and a number of other conservatives and a number of other people like Papadopoulos and others who got sucked into an FBI 1001 trap, you are dumb as a box of rocks. If you are emailing or talking to anyone and taking money from anyone without any questions and then talking to the FBI about any of it,

You shouldn't, number one, do your own business due diligence. And second, do not under any circumstances talk to anybody without a lawyer or a business lawyer. This dumb fuck doesn't understand any of that. This is the type of guy get roped into this shit next.

That's what's in the clip. Watch the clip. So he posts, a lot of people are posting this Dan Bongino clip, warning MAGA not to fall prey to the type of ops Tim Kass, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin got pulled into. But I read this another way. The gig is up. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The meteoric rise of the grifter class on the right is about to be exposed. Dumb motherfucker Justin Hart fell right in the trap. Do you understand how stupid this dipshit is?

This was directed at him. That last sentence is exactly what Merrick Garland, his new buddy, Joe Biden, his new buddy, Kamala Harris and Lisa Monaco wanted. They wanted on the fence Republicans and fake conservatives to start questioning everyone, the grifter class, implying somehow what? That we're involved? Really? You know Rumble's banned in Russia, right, for the 10th time?

With such Russian assets, the Russian government's actually targeted us. I actually wrote three books exposing the Russiagate thing. Do you understand this dipshit? This is exactly what they wanted. Exactly what they wanted. This was targeted at morons like this dipshit. Notice how he automatically parrots the DOJ-FBI narrative.

I don't know why Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Dave Rubin got involved. I have no idea. I know the three of them very well. If they're guilty of bad business due diligence, let them address it on their own time. But suggesting that they're Russian assets, when by the way, because Justin, this guy's so stupid, Dave Rubin was a freaking DeSantis supporter.

You stupid fuck. Do you not know that? Go look at his tweets. I know, Dave. Benny Johnson was out running videos for Vivek. And Tim Pool is not even a conservative. And by the way, Justin Hart, you stupid piece of shit. The woman alleged, alleged, alleged to be running the thing. I don't trust anyone. Has been posting anti-Trump tweets. Pull that up.

I had it last after the AP thing. Pull up the tweets. This is how dumb these people are, folks. If this is a pro-Trump Russia operation, like the morons on the left wanted you to believe, then why the hell was the woman alleged to be running it, according to the DOJ I don't even trust, posting anti-Trump stuff? Here's Kanekoa the Great, a good account you might want to follow.

The DOJ charged two Russians with funding Lauren Chen's Tenet Media, claiming they gave $10 million to influence U.S. politics. However, Chen has spent the last few months criticizing Trump for going, quote, weak on crime, immigration, and abortion, called Vance a blunder, and contributing to a, quote, total lack of enthusiasm. Here's the tweets, Justin Hart and GOP grifter assholes, too stupid to do your own homework. Here's a tweet knocking Trump off.

Here's another one. Flip through them so you can see them yourself. Trump is going weak on crime, immigration. This is your pro-Trump operation? Here, here's another one. Knockin' Trump. This is your conservative movement? I'm out. If this is a pro-Trump operation, it's the worst one I've ever seen. Here's another one for you. They go on and on. Dave is a friend. Benny is a friend. Tim Pool is a friend.

Knock them all you want on whatever. Not having a business lawyer look at a deal. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to tell you this too on the show today because you're not going to hear this from anyone else because the grifter swampy GOP class is too busy writing op-eds waiting to open a door for mama to deliver their oatmeal for breakfast because they've never had a real freaking job.

To the GOP sitting on your obese adipose tissue ozempic kneading asses who've never had a real job, listen to me. I have actual real money in the game. You can look. I'm invested in publicly traded companies. You'll see how much is involved. Am I trying to impress you? I don't give a shit about impressing you. I'm stating a simple fact. I have actual skin in this game as an investor in the parallel economy.

I have been under attack by the deep state forever, and I've got a mound of receipts to back it up. You have no idea what happened with Parler. None. With my parallel economy. Paralleleconomy.com is mine. Rumble. I'm a huge investor in this. Why? Because I put my money, my money, into the free speech parallel economy. That's why. And it took $3 trillion companies to wipe one of them out.

I've been a part of this. I've been a part of investing in companies and other places. I've seen bullshit. And I'm telling you right now, to the GOP grifter class, parroting this Russia simps, conservative Russian influencer simps stuff that the AP's putting out, the left wing and the deep state, you were the mark. I know it's hard for you to take that, Justin Hart and others. You know who I'm talking to. You were the mark.

I promise you, you were the mark because you don't know the other side of this. This story has not even begun, begun. The dam is like, there's a little leak in this dam that's going to explode. You think there's not a pro deep state narrative street money syndicate out there doing the exact same thing that was done allegedly to Benny, Tim pool,

And Ruben, you don't think there's a pro-Deep State, pro-defense industrial contract, street money in the billions out there funding people too? You're so naive. You have no idea. If you had a real job ever in your life and saw the kind of money being thrown around that I do as an actual investor behind the scenes, you'd ask questions too like, wow, that's interesting.

Why are all these deep state lefties and deep state hacks and industrial complex guys? Really, why is there? What's that all about? You have no idea. The Justin Harts of the world and the others. And you know who you are. I am sorry if your candidate lost in the primary. I don't care who it is. Haley, Vivek, DeSantis, they're all great people. They all bring assets to the movement. I like to think I'm friendly with all of them.

I'm telling you right now, you were absolutely the mark and you should be ashamed of yourself for falling into this trap. This is so much deeper than, you know, came out hot today, folks, but it's, I can't save some people no matter how many times I've worked. You, you understand why you, you get why this show is number one. You think we're number one by chance. It's because I'm not, I'm almost never wrong on this stuff. I say almost never because I leave wiggle room in case there's a mistake in the future.

And yet you are. That's why nobody listens to you and everybody listens to this show. Because you're stupid. You're stupid. Frustrating. But better hide the blackout. Is that one of our McGurkine team members? Free, who's that? Freedom McGurkine. I like that. Throw them up on the screen once in a while. I like that. Because sometimes the chat goes so fast, I miss it. Better hide the blackout. No, you can't. I'm actually in a good mood.

And, you know, I was laughing because I expect this from the libs. I'm not liberals. I mean it when I say I'm not mad at you for parroting another Russia hoax. That's what you do. I'm not. I mean, I don't like it that you guys are communists and little fascists, but that's what fascists do. I don't.

They attack their political enemies. They put them in jail. They make up fake stuff. And they throw out defamatory allegations contrary to evidence. Is Dan Bargino in it? Yes. He's so terrified. He's out there doing shows telling you to go fuck yourself and flipping off the middle. He sounds, man, is he terrified? That guy is running from this story. He is running from it. He is so scared. Come at me, man, with everything you got. Everything you got. Because when the evidence comes out, you're going to see not only

Not only were you a dumbass and an actual Russian asset, but I was on the right side of that moral arc while you were sitting there and your kids in the future are going to have to disavow knowing you. I don't have that worry, but you do. By the way, who's the real Russian asset? I encourage you to look at my Twitter and true social account. Remember your boy Obama? Remember Obama with his...

I put these pictures up on my Twitter account. Remember him telling Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, oh, don't worry. We've got more flexibility after the election. Who's the real Russian asset? What about Hillary? Remember how she wanted to hit the reset button and humiliated herself and the country? Remember, there's actual pictures of that. Who's the real Russian asset? Incredible how liberals do the old, remember the men in, oh, there it is. Thank you, guys. That's my actual tweet. The real Russian assets have been right in front of your face the entire time. Look, I've even got pictures.

That looks like Obama and Hillary trying to cut some deals with Russia. Strange how that happens, right? It's the dipsy-do flip-a-roo.

And GOP swampy. I saw Jonah Goldberg and all the, again, Ozempic needing losers and the swampy right all day tweeting about this. Jonah Goldberg attacking Ben Shapiro about it. Ben, who's not known as like a huge flamethrower on his side, attacking him so desperate to get this narrative. MAGA grifters. He has no evidence whatsoever that one, Lauren Chen, is a MAGA grifter at all. She's tweeting against Trump.

And there's zero evidence at all that any MAGA personality has been taking money from Russia. Any evidence at all. None. MAGA personality. Those guys weren't even MAGA guys. He didn't even know that because he's stupid. Stupid people. Like Justin, I have no heart. Morons. How these people develop a following on these platforms is candidly stunning.

All right, I got a lot more to get to, including a breaking news story yesterday that some people took as a win in one of the anti-Trump government weaponization trials. It was not a win at all. This Judge Chutkin is a total train wreck. If you have any experience with the legal system, the stunt she pulled yesterday is ridiculous. I got that and then the Secret Service story. And Crowder, by the way, if you miss it, had a huge expose yesterday.

Just quickly on this before I get to the Secret Service story, this Politico playbook piece this morning. Judge Chutkin, the disastrous fake judge up there in that D.C. circuit there that has the Jack Smith, you know, fake treason trial against Donald Trump. People were celebrating yesterday on Twitter and they were like, well, you know, the case is going to be moved to left of the election. Folks, this was not a win because that's not really what happened. Yes, the formal case may have been moved, but Judge Chutkin,

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chukin laid out a new schedule yesterday as she weighs whether to throw out the indictment ruling that Trump has immunity for actions he took as president. I want you to listen to this, though. Special Counsel Smith, who is an absolute tyrant at this point, bringing a case that he's already been spanked about at the Supreme Court, has until September 26th. I think that's before the election, right? Last time I checked, right, fellas? It was in November. That's confirmed today.

So now has until September 26th to file an opening briefing about why the case should still stand. The defense gets until October 7th and then Smith will get to respond. Oh, look at that. October 29th. Guys, isn't that a week before the election? Yeah, it is. So weird. He's counting. You see what she did? She knows not right now that Donald Trump has a really good chance of winning. And this case is done. She understands that.

So what is this hapless fake judge do, Chutkin, with this tyrant special counsel? She allows this guy to make what is in effect an open briefing, ridiculous statement, which is going to be one long political ad for Kamala Harris a week before the election. This was not a win. These people are clearly interfering in the election.

This should have been shut down. No sane, reasonable judge would have done this. But asking for a sane, reasonable judge with these lefty Obama appointees is just crazy. This was not a win. This was a huge L. These people are nuts. These are what the Justin Hart's of the world. This is what they don't understand. They hate Donald Trump and you, the MAGA movement, so much.

They cannot get their diapers off. They cannot get out of their cribs and act like mature adults and see the fight in front of them. You have a deep state and a voter integrity system that if we lose, we'll never be the same. You will have effectively voted in socialism. You will never vote out. And they don't care. They hate Trump and you so much that even stuff like that happened yesterday, they love it.

This anti-Trump grifter fake GOP class, they love this stuff. All they want to do is see you punished so they can say I told you so, even though their country is going to evaporate like an Alka-Seltzer tablet in water. They don't care. They don't care at all. I've told you for a long time, folks, there are a lot of folks in the Republican Party who are really Democrats. However, there are no Democrats who are really Republicans.

That's why go to my truth account and look at the top or X. It says public enemy number one. You think I'm being dramatic? They hate me. The swampies hate me. The sellout fake conservatives hate me. The left definitely hates me. The media hates my guts. They all hate me. I feed off it. It's like a keto. Come at me. The harder you come at me, the harder you fall. I welcome it. If you think this is running scared,

You're as dumb as you look. I'll tell you who else doesn't like me. The failed management of the secret service in the FBI. Add them to the list. Get in line, fellas. I got news for you. Let me just, can I say something? Can I say something, guys? I'm asking you like you, that my name, my name is on the door. That is correct. I've been through a lot over the last few years. I don't know how long I have for this earth. I don't mean to sound dramatic about it. I don't. I'm

The whole cancer thing scared the shit out of me, man. It's just, my wife can tell you, I just live every day in fear. I just do. If you've had it, you know, you know, it's like, you're never really cured. You got to worry the rest of your life. You got to take these potentially cancer causing radiological scans just to see if you have cancer. And then they tell you, but taking the scan could give you cancer later. So you're in this balancing act your whole life. Like,

Well, what if I have cancer? Well, I may not. And if I get this x-ray, I may get cancer from this scan because it's like my 10th scan. And, you know, I don't need anybody's like, I'm not asking for anybody's sympathy because everyone's got their own problems. And, you know, there are people who are suffering through their own thing. I'm just telling you to all my enemies out there. Well, I am public enemy number one. I give absolutely zero fucks about what you think. I'm not kidding. There are no fucks left to give. I don't.

I'm not looking to go to your cocktail parties. I don't want to be your friend. I will not hesitate to shred you on Twitter. And there's nothing you can say. You threaten me. I'll ruin your life. You'll ruin nothing. I don't even know how long that life is going to be. There's nothing to ruin. I have zero fear of you at all. To liberals, I mock you. And I am absolutely determined for the rest of however long I have left to destroy everything you're trying to do.

Because you're trying to destroy this country. And braver men than me have fought for it. I'm not going to let it happen. You'll never, ever, ever. There's nothing you can say to me, to the Secret Service management, to the FBI management. You come knocking on my door tomorrow, nothing's going to change. As long as I have this microphone or someone I know has this microphone or someone I know who knows someone who has this microphone, we are going to continue to do this. There's nothing you can do to stop me. And no, I am not suicidal at all in any way.

You got that on record? Everyone flag it, please. It's the most important flag of all time. You know, I'm going to take a break. I want to confirm two explosive Secret Service stories that came my way. And I'm not doing this to embarrass anyone. I am doing this to change an organization that was once proud and had some decent leadership that has fallen apart and is going to get someone else killed.

They are still grossly unprepared and doing the same things that led to the murder at the Butler County, Pennsylvania site. And second, they are a completely reactive agency right now that is only reacting to threats after they materialize. And yesterday something happened that proves it two weeks ahead of the news cycle.

That's perfect. Cause I thought, what did I tell you? What'd I say when I came in about sleep? Justin, what'd I say? So I slept nine hours last night. It's crazy. Never happens. Getting a good night's sleep. So important to your overall wellness. That's why I'm thrilled to tell you how much I love my Helix mattress. I'm sleeping and feeling better every day.

Two more Secret Service scoops. Folks, they're not changing. They're reactively putting Band-Aids on decades-long problems, and the same people who created the problems, shockingly, are still running the agency. I've never seen a place in my life where the managers of the agency are

okay and approve macro security plans that lead to a murder three people shot including one of their protectees after multiple requests for security enhancements and they all get promoted it is the weirdest thing i've ever seen number one they are tip number one i got yesterday they are still grossly unprepared with trained personnel at their events i'll get to that

And second, they are a totally reactive agency. Folks, something came out yesterday. I can absolutely confirm for you. They are only making changes after things happen. Now, you may be saying, isn't that dangerous in the security space? I mean, think of it like if you were a security guy at the front door of a bar.

Do you see a guy outside starting fights and let him in and then only kick him out after he starts a fight in a bar and breaks a bottle over someone's head? You saw him outside start the fight. Oh, no, no. We needed more proof. That's how they're operating right now. I know they're watching, by the way, guys. How are you? I get it. I know you watch my show every day. So welcome back. I'm sorry if you, you know, you guys were part of the problem. So we're going to fix it for you. You see this tweet by Susan Crabtree yesterday saying,

You got to follow her on Twitter. She's at Susan Crabtree, common spelling, can figure it out. She is a fantastic reporter. She has an amazing, amazing litany of sources that have been blowing, blowing the doors of this. Folks, this case is deeply troubling. I'm not going to read to you the whole thing. You can read her series of tweets about it. I'm going to sum up for you very simply. The Secret Service has known for years that,

Listen to me, folks. This is really important, this segment. Record it. Get it out on social media. All the people who do that. The Secret Service has known for years about a credible, very serious Iranian government-connected threat to President Trump. For years.

This is not a random threat from some drunken bum who late at night from one of the last pay phones in America dialed 911 and said, I want to hurt Trump. That's not what did not that those aren't serious. They're nowhere as serious as an organized government with billions of dollars able to spend money to hire an endless number of people to

to take sophisticated measures to attack Donald Trump. Those are not the same thing on a threat matrix. This is serious. There have been sources out there that Susan Crabtree covers in this tweet who have been talking to the FBI for a long time. I am telling you with certainty the Secret Service has known about this for a long time. I'm telling you this putting my investigative reporting hat on.

Because there are a lot of people who don't want this out there. The management of the DTD, the Donald Trump detail, the management of DTD and others, many others, have been requesting long-range threat mitigation for years. By long-range threats, think of it through the lens of a Secret Service agent. Short-range are knives, clubs, sticks, weapons, pistols. Pistol may be good out to 25 yards, maybe 50 if you're really good.

Long-range threats are snipers, rifles, AR-type rounds, anything from a .50 cal, 7.62, .223. Those are long-range threats out to about 1,000 yards.

The Secret Service management on the DTD are not the bad guys. They have been begging for long-range mitigation forever. This Iranian threat has been out there, and everyone in the management of the Secret Service knew about it. Folks, the only reason, the only reason that counter-snipers were even approved at the Butler County PA site at all

was because the management understood that there is a paper trail of requests, requesting long-range threat mitigation that they couldn't avoid anymore, and they knew this Iranian threat was real. Here. Here is what a source told the FBI, who is believed, again, everything's alleged, who's believed to be somehow connected to foreign governments and possibly Iran.

The source concluded that the near and far options would not be successful due to security, but assessed there was a 50% chance either tactic would succeed. Came to the conclusion, this source, that the threat inside the bubble was probably not going to work because they weren't going to beat the mags. So they had assessed that the long-range threat from a sniper was the more viable one.

Oh, look, a long way. Here's by the way, here's Chuck Graslie put this out, by the way. This is not it's on Susan Crabtree's thing. But Senator Graslie got a hold of this from a whistleblower. Of course, the FBI shit in their pants over this. And so with the Secret Service, because it belies a huge, huge scandal that the Secret Service knew about the sniper threat. It was more than credible. And a sniper shot Donald Trump in the head and murdered someone. And they barely responded.

This is a huge story, folks. They only reacted the upper level management because there's a paper trail. Listen to me. There is a paper trail. And when you find out how this paper trail, when you find out how this paper trail can't be disappeared, you're going to be stunned. I'm sorry. I got to leave it there. There's so much more to this story. You have not even scratched the surface.

Also, I can confirm for you another story I got from a whistleblower yesterday. Folks, the Secret Service was grotesquely unprepared for the 2024 campaign. This is not a trick question. Michael, I'm going to throw you're a math guy, right? How long do you think the United States government has known there was going to be a presidential election in 2024? You have a guess? It just can't be very long. Maybe since like 1776 or something. I mean, what?

It's true. The world that the lefty said was going to end in 2000, because they didn't anticipate that. We'll give them, okay. Assuming even the lefties were right and they thought the world was going to end in 2012. They've known about it then for at least 12 years. We've known there was going to be a presidential campaign. I'm going to assume about 200 plus after the bicentennial, right? That we've known about this.

The Secret Service, whose biggest and most important task is to keep their protectees alive, especially during a campaign cycle, was grotesquely unprepared. They don't have the manpower, folks.

They're staffing Secret Service sites with Homeland Security agents. Again, can't say this enough. Absolutely wonderful, heroic guys doing an amazing thing. You know what they do? They do child trafficking investigations, sex trafficking. You guys and women, you are not in any... Thank you for what you do. Full stop, period. This is in no way a knock on them. I can't emphasize that enough. However, they have a skill set that...

They do not have the year plus of training and OJT on the job training to do what the Secret Service does. They were given a PowerPoint, a PowerPoint that didn't even work to show them how to protect the president and soon to be hopefully President Donald Trump. Disgraceful.

Here's Senator Josh Hawley and Jesse Waters the other day. He may have a different whistleblower than I do. I'm not sure. I don't ask him. He doesn't ask me. But what he's telling Jesse Waters here is 100% correct. And in case you think it's stopped, I'm going to give you the numbers from just the site that happened the other day for J.D. Vance. It hasn't stopped.

Check this out. Senator Josh Hawley's been in contact with whistleblowers and has new information he's going to exclusively share with us here at primetime. So what now are we hearing from whistleblowers, Senator? Well, what I've heard tonight, Jesse, is that most of the agents who were there at that rally in Butler were not Secret Service agents.

They were, in fact, Homeland Security agents. And get this, most of those Homeland Security agents, the only training that they received was an online webinar, a two-hour online webinar. And I'm told that about half the time, the sound to the webinar didn't even work.

So think about this. The president of the United States, former president of the United States, Donald Trump, is sent out on stage. Most of the people there aren't trained. They're not qualified. They only got a webinar training, and even that didn't work. It is absolutely outrageous. They got a webinar, folks, a webinar that didn't even work, and they were told it's not their fault. They did the job they were asked to do.

If you are asked to go stand a post because the country's being invaded and the military needs help, it's the military's, you're going to do it. That's what these men and women did. It is not their fault. It is the Secret Service's fault. They've known about this campaign for 200 plus years, but because they cannot manage their workforce. You understand how unacceptable this would be anywhere else?

Imagine you're a manager at whatever. I'm looking at this. I voted Martin County. Martin's Car Company. And you have this brand new product launch. And you find out that you've known about the launch for two years. You have no salesman and no one to build the product. You'd be fired. Not the Secret Service. Everybody got promoted.

Now, in case you think, oh, that's Josh Hawley. Say you're a liberal. So you're probably pretty stupid. And you're like, that Josh Hawley is a MAGA election denier. Really? What if I told you that there was a site the other day for J.D. Vance and a whistleblower, I mean, as close as you can get, told me there were 38 posts that had to be staffed. How many of them were Secret Service? 38? Nah. 30? Nope. Definitely 15.

10? 4. But Dan, is that what the Secret Service does? They staff their sides? No. We ask other people who heroically take a webinar and go out and do it anyway. This workforce is completely, completely collapsed, folks. The management has absolutely, completely failed. And there isn't a single other entity on this rock we call Earth that would have survived this with their jobs intact and a promotion. No one.

Will anyone in government outside of the people like Ron Johnson, Hawley and Cruz and others who have been asking questions? Will anyone else in government ask the Secret Service managers? How long have you known about this campaign? I mean, you knew President Trump was going to run again. You knew Joe Biden was at least likely to not run again. You knew the vice president was probably going to take his place. How come you weren't prepared? Is anyone going to ask that? What's their answer going to be?

Well, we do this all the time. You do. You outsource the job we gave you to other federal agents who aren't trained in this, taking them off their tasks like child sex trafficking. This is what you do. You see this tweet again, Crabtree again, exclusive secret services stretched so thin with protecting Trump, Harris and 30 other campaign principals and protectees. It has a deficit of 650 special agents for the U.N. General Assembly.

I don't want to put you guys on the spot, but the UN General Assembly, do you have any idea how often it happens? Happens every year. Every year! The same time. In the beginning of September. Matter of fact, here's a little trick for you. The UN General Assembly almost always coincides with the US Open Tennis Tournament. It's not causation, it's just correlation. I'm serious. Every time. You'll see, they almost always... You guys know how often the US Open Tennis Tournament happens? Every year! Every year!

So the Secret Service didn't only know every year, right around the U.S. Open, it was going to be the U.N. General Assembly, where they'd have to protect just about every world leader. They also knew it would be happening during a campaign, and they still don't have the workforce. Is anyone going to ask that? Anyone? Justin's getting it. Justin's answer was great. Justin said, get the webinars out. Maybe they'll work this time. Maybe they'll work this time.

But don't worry, Crabtree has another exclusive. She's on the ball this week. Exclusive. She puts the emoticon exclamation points. The Secret Services Office of DEI, otherwise known as DIE, D-I-E, had some kind of like webinar thing at 11 o'clock the other day, sending out an agency-wide request for nominees. They want nominees. You got to be nominated for this.

to attend an all-expense-paid trip to an LGBTQ+, out-and-equal workplace summit of diversity at Disney in Orlando, October 7th. Holy shit. Is there a more tone-deaf group of managers anywhere on planet Earth, private, public, nonprofit, or NGO sector, that these people aren't fired today for this? You've got agents out there.

Rank and file agents. By the way, blowing the whistle like crazy because listen to me, I'm telling you this, I work with these guys. Please, I'm asking you for a favor here. Just drop what you're doing. Unless you're driving, you have a young child or sharp objects. Don't do it, don't drop it. I've never in my life worked with a finer group of people than my time in the Secret Service. Ever, ever, ever.

People who would have done anything to keep that president alive. They didn't care about his politics or anything else. I've never been prouder of a place I worked in there, ever. And I always will be. Some of those guys are still there. Some have retired.

They are freaking furious right now. They are working seven days a week, 12-hour shifts, standing in front of a door and a hot hallway watching the president of Uzbekistan while the out-and-equal DEI crew are taking nominees for a little summit at Disney World right before a campaign. Can you imagine being the acting director of the Secret Service and approving this?

While you're recruiting via webinar 650 HSI and others pulling them off critical tasks because you couldn't manage your workforce because you didn't see the campaign and the United Nations General Assembly coming. Shame. Shame. Absolute shame. Shame. You realize President Trump got shot in the head, right? You realize the guy was murdered at your sites, right? They're acting like this is just at the Out and Equal Workplace Summit.

You didn't, just to be clear, to Ron Rowe and all of the other people in the eighth floor managing the Secret Service, you didn't think your working agents busting their asses, legit putting their lives on the line. You think those guys who ran on stage to save Trump after your security plan failed, you think they were doing that for fun? They didn't even know that the guy had been shot. They had no idea. They could have been next. Matter of fact, someone told me, someone told them, the bullets, they heard them go by their heads.

But don't worry. Go to your out and equal workplace summit at Disney. Spend a few days. Have fun. Go on that. It's a small world. You're on the little thing. Justin, you've been on it, right? Here's what happens. Before Disney went crazy, you're on this thing. It's the worst ride ever. You get in this little car and you're driving. It's a small world.

and you got a bunch of people. It's the most annoying round. You got to have fun. Have fun. People get murdered. Three people got shot. You've got agents with no experience in your space doing your job for you. Yeah, have fun. You got an Iran threat that's only been going on for three years. You still haven't mitigated. Don't worry about it. You guys have fun.

Matter of fact, I got an idea to Joe Biden. Promote him again. Make the acting director the director and give everyone else. What do you think, Justin? A cash bonus? Maybe 20, 30 percent. Everybody gets a trip to Disney World. It's a small world. Here it is. Here's the card. It moves slowly. Justin, you've been on it, right? Michael, have you seen it? You go, well, don't. You're not missing. You're in this car. It's a small world.

Everybody go. Can we get a picture, by the way, for Monday of Ron Rowe in one of those carts? That's what they're doing right now. And Ron Rowe's like, I lose sleep. Really, you don't lose enough sleep, I guess, because you got an out-and-equal workplace summit at the Disney World right before the election. Who thought that was a good idea? Who thought that was a good idea? Meanwhile, you got agents, by the way, maxed out working for free. I mean, actually working for free.

Because they physically can't make any more overtime because you're exhausting them to death. But yeah, keep it up. Head on over to Disney, fellas. Run, go with them. Go with them. Get in the car. It's a small world out there. Maybe the Dumbo ride. You been on the Dumbo ride? Get on the Dumbo ride. I don't know if you can fit in there, but get in and squeeze in there with the kids. You can wave. Ma, take my picture. Okay.

Yes, Justin just said it. Splash Mountain, apparently, remember they changed it because it wasn't PC? It's now like the DEI Mountain. Get run. Head on over there with the employees. That while people are getting murdered, you don't have enough agents. That was brilliant, Justin. You didn't know about that? They changed Splash Mountain to DEI Mountain now. They did. They didn't like it. It was like too un-PC for them. Go over there. Have a summit on the way there. Woo!

Here's how you go down for, whoa, and you get a little wet. Wear your bathing suit, fellas. Have fun. Mommy, take a picture. Way to run the workforce. You guys are knocking it out of the park. Don't worry about those Iranians. The Iranians have a bumper sticker on their cars, like death to America. It's not like they've actually committed a terror attack before, so don't worry about it. It's not like they know how to kill people. Don't sweat it. You guys got this thing on lockdown. Great job. I can't today.

Now you see why I'm not suicidal. And let me just repeat again. There is nothing you can say to stop me. I don't give a fuck. I don't care. I don't know how long I have here. I don't care. I have one loyalty only outside of God and family and my friends. And that is to this audience of amazing people that choose to listen to this show. I don't give a shit about you.

Don't call me. Don't ask me out to your dinners. Don't send me business inquiries. I'm not interested. I want to show you this also. This is another. Steven Crowder's team has been just killing it. Between the Nashville shooter manifesto, if you're not watching his show on Rumble, you missed a lot of this. His team cracked that Nashville shooter thing wide open. This is shocking.

I've got to tell you, the Nashville shooter story was critically important in the manifesto. This story is huge. Of course, the mainstream media hates people like me and Crowder. So they were forced to cover it. This is a hidden video of the Department of Justice, Chief of Public Affairs. Let me say that again. The Department of Justice, Biden's Justice Department, the Chief of Public Affairs, admitting on hidden video that

that this entire persecution of Donald Trump was, quote, a perversion of justice and, quote, nonsense. What? If you missed this, man, did you miss a bombshell. Check this out.

Let me be clear about something on the outset. The person you'll be watching today is not the bad guy here.

unwitting whistleblower? Yeah. Nicholas Biase is the chief of public affairs for the Department of Justice's Southern District of New York. Something you may be familiar with and the most prominent federal trial court in America. Those felonies did nothing to stop Trump from running. No, in fact they made him more relevant. Did that backfire?

Sure does. Everything is disgusting. They're just out to get them. That's why I like the surgery of the bullets. You know, it's a perversion of justice. Again, the Dan Bongino show is a year ahead of the news cycle. No, not with, this is Crowder's story exclusively about that last part. Didn't I tell you that these people were freaking out that the weaponization attempt was

Not attempt. They did it to put Donald Trump in prison and on trial. That they were terrified that they had martyred him. They knew exactly what they did, and now it's blown up in their face spectacularly. An enormous hat tip to the Crowder team. I don't know how they did it, but they did it. And the Justice Department is freaking out. This guy has come out with a statement like, oh my gosh, I didn't mean to say that. I was just trying to impress someone. Sure. Now you got it all on video.

I encourage you to check out Crowder's episode on Rumble. It's, this is some badass stuff. I'm going to say one last time and end where I began. After you saw that right there and you saw, you see the communists now and what they're doing. These are actual hardcore tyrants and authoritarians. Are you really ready to fall into the trap? Russia 3.0 yet again. Please don't be stupid. This is not for my audience at all.

This is for the grifter class and the losers and the swampies. Please stop being stupid. It's easy to not be stupid. Just don't be stupid. Man, what a show. Yeah, right? The show was a f***ing banger today. I feel good now. I feel better. Lefty's like, he looks terrified. Yes, totally terrified. Scared. I may not even show up for the radio. Jim's like, wow, I'm so scared. So scared.

Make sure you download the Rumble app. You can find me and Crowder there. Rumble.com slash Bongino is where you'll find it. Well, the app store, you'll find the app. Just give us a follow there, please, while you're on the site. Also, if you wouldn't mind, go to Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Give us a follow as well.
