Folks, I'm telling you, the threat is real. I was chatting with Avita about this this morning, and I have zero doubt that there are a number of people and groups with aligned interests, and that aligned interest is what? Anybody know?

That aligned interest is make Donald Trump go bye-bye. I have absolutely zero doubt between the deep staters, the swampies, a group of left-wing NGOs, intelligence agencies that know he's going to come in and open the books on him. There are groups of people that unquestionably want Donald Trump gone. All I'm telling you, and you can do what you want with it,

I'm telling you with certainty. You want to believe me? It's okay. You don't. That's okay, too. I would think, given my history on Spygate, collusion, the intelligence letter, 100-byte laptop, and my background in the Secret Service, that you would err on the side of he's probably right on this. But it's okay. You do you. I'm telling you this threat is real. It is absolutely real.

Donald Trump does not trust the deep state at all. There's a reason he put this out. Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. military is watching and waiting. Moves are already made by Iran. It didn't work out, but they'll try again. Not a good situation for anyone. I'm surrounded by men, guns, and weapons more than I've seen before. Thank you to Congress for approving more money for the Secret Service.

I'll take a hard pass on that one. They don't need more money. They need better leadership. However, folks, the threat is very real. The threat is not just from Iran, but that particular threat is real. You know, when you're working protective intelligence in the Secret Service, because some crazy person threatens, say, a member of the Trump family and another person threatens him, it doesn't mean it's a zero-sum game. Like, there's an unlimited amount of people who can threaten people.

That's what I'm trying to get at here. This is real. So the report came out. I have it right here. The initial findings. You're probably just seeing a white piece of paper. There it is up on the screen right there. Folks, some of the stuff in here is just devastating. I'm not going to spend the entire show on the report, folks, because most of it you've already heard. However, there are some things I want to relitigate because I told you them a couple months ago when this happened.

Number one, it is extremely important you get the titles right of the people responsible for the security plan because the Secret Service is playing games right now. And if you read the report, you'll find the top line, most important takeaway, the judge's rule is that the people involved at the site and the security plan, we're all saying that guy did it. I mean, this guy did it. No, that guy. But never this guy.

Remember when I told you you've got to get the titles right and too many people going on TV effing it up? Well, we need the lead side agent. Wait, what do you mean? Do you mean the lead agent or the side agent? Because they're not the same thing. And this is not a stupid euphemisms game.

Exactly what I told you was going to happen is happening. Folks in the chat, I don't want to waste your time. Did I not tell you this? If people would have just listened to me and would have let me ask the damn questions, we wouldn't have this problem. I would have gone right to the lead agent. The lead agent was from the DTD, the Donald Trump detail.

And I would have said, you are responsible for the security of the president. You are the DTD agent, the liaison to the site. What happened? This is the person in charge. The site agent from the Pittsburgh field office is a different person.

And when you don't understand the difference, this is what you read the report. It talks about how nobody wanted to blame anyone. Everyone said it wasn't their fault. It's because they don't understand what these people are supposed to do. If I had a gauge, oh, blob job, always skeptic, 22. Folks, if I had a gauge responsibility, because there are a number of people here who screwed things up.

Number one is the lead agent from the DTD, the Donald Trump detail. They know that she knows the detail was at the site. Absolutely no excuse. Okay.

But I take that back. Scratch that. First is headquarters. Ron Rowe, protective operations, the ADPO, the deputy director, and the DADPO, deputy assistant director. Because they're the ones that would not give them the assets, okay? But second is the site agent, excuse me, the lead agent. Third...

It's a side agent from the Pittsburgh field office. Someone should have checked on that roof line. The no accountability thing is amazing. And this is the problem when you get people up there and it's not their fault, folks. If you asked me to go up on Capitol Hill and question a bunch of Senate staffers about how they write bills, freaking know the questions to ask. I lost my race for the U S Senate. I don't have Senate staffers, but you didn't have experts asking the questions. And this is what happened.

A bunch of people went, well, that's not my job. I would have been about, no, no, actually, that is your job. You know full well as a lead agent from the DTD that your job was to oversee the entire security plan. You know damn well it was your job. I would have had the director in there on day one. What assets were asked for? What assets did you deny? What assets did you deny historically? Give me the records. I want to see the money allocations to the security plan. I want to read the emails. None of this stuff. You got to know the right questions to ask.

Here's shocking from the report.

The counter-sniper team lead never even went to the AGR property prior to the shooting, including the roof or inside the building where the local counter-sniper teams were positioned. Now, I know that the instinct is going to be to jump down the throat of the counter-sniper team. However, who is the one that ultimately approves the counter-sniper team being able to go out there a week in advance and do a proper advance to the site? The answer is headquarters.

So headquarters says no. So did CS, I'm not telling you that this is okay. I'm just telling you that when we're going to pin blame, we better pin it on the right people or you're going to get the same shit. That guy did it. That guy did it. That guy did it. That guy did it. I would have said to headquarters right away, why the hell wasn't the counter sniper team out there a week in advance? Who signed off on them going out there same day or the day before? Who?

That's why no one in headquarters is telling the truth. Here's another one. Counter sniper says that they didn't even look around really independently at the threat areas. Well, that's kind of weird. Quote, it was more to make sure the roof was secure for us to stand on. Folks, this is inexcusable. It's inexcusable.

But again, you have to understand if they would have had a week to do a proper CS advance, work with local agencies, grid out what they were looking at, this wouldn't have been an issue. Why is headquarters, why did everybody get promoted out of this? Here's another one. It's like three or four of these I picked out. Leading up to Trump's rally in Butler, the Secret Service denied requests from the DTD. Sounds like something I told you, folks.

Remember me bringing up the CSU, Counter Surveillance Unit? What is their job? Their job is to go undercover and look for suspicious characters. Why didn't they find a suspicious character walking around the site that day who later went and shot Trump in the head and murdered Corey Comparatore? Anybody have any idea why they didn't see him? Because they weren't there. Oh, lookie here. This is crazy. While a counter surveillance unit was deployed for Dr. Jill, prominent neurosurgeon,

Her threat level is like close to zero. They had a CSU team for Dr. Drill counter surveillance, basically undercovers. A unit was not requested for President Trump. Secret Service agents raised concerns about not having CSU at the rally, which would have identified suspicious behavior outside the event perimeter. Folks in the chat, why didn't CSU detect a guy outside of the perimeter? That's right, Jack, because they weren't there.

which is what I told you a couple months ago. The CSU agents I worked with were badass. You know why they found themselves in CSU? Let me tell you something. CSU, this is a little informal stuff I'm going to tell you about the Secret Service. You have to go to a satellite detail when you go to a protection detail. There's sub-details, right? You have to go to either the First Lady's detail, transportation. It used to be CAT, but they moved them out. Or CSU.

Some of the best agents I work with, they had mouths on them. They would stick up for themselves. They'd tell management, go yourself, right? So they'd stick them in CSU because they're not around the inner circle and they're out of the outer perimeter.

They were some of the best agents we had in the detail. Really, some of the best guys around. I'm telling you with certainty they would have detected this guy on the outside. Forget about the guy getting on the roof. The guy wouldn't have been anywhere near the site. They would have stopped him. They would have had someone talk to him, and they would have found that the guy had a range finder and a long-range rifle in his backpack. Why didn't they find him? Again, folks in the chat.

Because they weren't there. Like I says. Like I says. Here it is. Here it is. Justin, is this boring? Are you sure? Okay. Michael. Okay. While there was a cat team at the site, counter-assault team, that's a Secret Service SWAT team. This is from the report. There was no cat liaison. LNO.

That's kind of important, right? You're going to have other guys with heavy weapons at the site. Maybe a good idea to have a liaison so you understand how they're going to deploy in an emergency. I don't know. Sounds kind of crazy. Secret Service Headquarters said, Ixnay on that, Snay. We're not doing that, Snay. There wasn't one. So we had...

No CSU team for counter surveillance. We had no cat team, although Dr. Jill had CSU. That's really important. I wonder what they've been doing. Dr. Jill, that prominent neurosurgeon, she had him.

They had no counter sniper teams prior to this rally. The counter sniper team they got, I think, showed up the day before some and didn't even get to scope out the site. Pun intended. Believe me. And now we find out that the counter unmanned aerial systems assets, in other words, drones were requested by DTD as early as July 10th, but were denied by Secret Service headquarters. This is it.

This is insane. This is crazy. Secret Service Headquarters. Yeah, I'm going to skip to page two. And this is the crazy thing. So all the people in the management chain at Secret Service Headquarters who denied the drone assets, the cat assets, the CS assets, and the CSU assets, right? You understand they all got promoted? Here, you doubt me? From the report, point three.

The July 13th Butler event was the first time former President Trump had counter snipers at an event.

The USS, USS's assistant director of protective operations told the committee sometime prior to July 5th, a decision was made that secret service would send counter sniper to outdoor events going forward based on intelligence and threat information. All but one of the witnesses the committees interviewed were to wear this decision. In other words, the entire management chain of the secret service had decided to not give Trump counter sniper assets despite knowing about the intelligence.

What's the intelligence? Go back to the Trump tweet, fellas. Put it up on the screen. That's the intelligence right there. Now I feel free to tell you. There was a long-range, viable, credible threat. This was not by Jason Bourne operators in Iran. It was by a bunch of chuckleheads the Iranians were trying to recruit to kill Donald Trump. They were morons. Luckily, sitting in the woods with...

you know, totally undisguised, walking up on a roof line. Folks, this shit is for real, man. You're not going to have a president to vote for on election day, a presidential candidate, if the Secret Service management is not purged at the top and told to retire or fired. I'm really sorry. This is crazy. The counter-sniper advance lead witnessed law enforcement running towards the AGR building,

But the thought didn't cross his mind to inform the president's protective detail. Folks, they're running with their weapons drawn. Now, you're probably asking yourself, I now have an answer to the question, why was Trump still on the X and not brought off the stage? It was an unfathomable, unfathomable series of grotesquely stupid decisions. And I've told you before, layered incompetence is intent.

But the people responsible for pulling him off stage, now you know, were not told about the threat. They were told that something was being worked. Now, I'm telling you as a Secret Service agent, again, let me listen to what I just said. Layered incompetence is intent. But the people responsible for pulling him off the stage were only told, and now you know, according to the report, that something was being worked. That's a real problem.

Because if you've been in the Secret Service like I have, it is not even remotely uncommon at outdoor rallies to hear that particular language. And the problem is the people who did this did not relay the specific threat, which is such an unbelievably stupid, incompetent decision combined with everything else. People are starting to ask some really serious questions.

You're working as potential shooter. That's what you put out on the radio. You're taught that in training 101. You don't just put out some generic, hey, something's happening. That's not what you do. Is it a medical? Is it a tactical? Is it a chem bio? Is it an IED? Is it an airborne threat? Is there a fire? You got all of these responses are different. You don't just throw out there, something's happening. Ha, ha, ha.

The lead advance agent was told that credible intelligence existed of a threat, but still wrote in a security planning document that there was no adverse intelligence. My gosh. Layered incompetence, folks, is intent. Here, I'm going to explain this one to you, and then we'll move on. I got a couple other things to get to. On July 10th, the US SS Pittsburgh field office sent a letter to the FBI requesting any intelligence related to Trump in a rally.

The FBI didn't respond to the letter or share intelligence information with the Secret Service in response. Let me tell you what happened here. If anyone in the chat, by the way, is even remotely confused about how I feel about this, you're not listening to what I'm telling you. Layered incompetence is intent, is intent. You understand what I'm telling you? Let me explain this letter, though.

These letters go out every time there's a trip. Every time. The Secret Service has been sending them out since I was an agent back in 1999. The letter is sent to the FBI. It is nothing more. You ready? It's nothing more than a CYA thing. They are not taken seriously.

It goes in the protection file. The supervisors in these districts of the Secret Service field offices, they're only sending these out as a CYA thing. The FBI gets them all the time. Every time there's a protectee in, I don't even know how to, it's like you getting a receipt in a restaurant for dinner sometimes. Most of you barely look at the receipt. You just give them the credit card. One day you're going to get ripped off. Listen to what I'm telling you. They've been sending these things out since 1999.

But earlier than that, way before I got on, they go in a protection file. That's the only reason it's done is to CYA. Oh, we asked the FBI if there's anything going on. Nobody takes these things seriously. Well, Dan, that sounds like it could create a dangerous situation. Okay. Yes. You knew all this, man. You listen to my show. You already knew all this. I had a couple more of it. Just, I mean, this is just, this threat is real folks. How many times do I got to be right on this?

Who steered you wrong here? I told you in August of last year from a whistleblower, look at the show. It's episode what, 2071. Go watch the show today and listen to the language. Sounds oddly familiar to stuff in this report, right? I'm telling you this threat is real. Trump knows it's real. And if we don't clean out the top of the Secret Service, he ain't going to make it to inauguration day.

Take a quick break. I've got a few other points on this, including more shocking information coming out about the pre-op level of surveillance here.

This is a Laura Ingraham show. Matt Whitaker was on there last night. They were talking about Laura Ingraham brings up, she's a lawyer. She's not stupid.

The level of pre-operational surveillance involved here in the second assassination attempt with the pink shirt wearing guy. This guy had been out there for months, folks. This was not just watch this clip. I'll tell you what I think on the other side. Check this out. He was at these locations on multiple times surveilling or casing the joints, as they would say. And nobody notices anything.

That's also just very odd, especially since he should have been on everybody's radar given his past. This is what I was discussing with Evita this morning. The guy had already tripped five or six different alarms, apparently, from various entities based on his overseas activities, activities in Ukraine and elsewhere. And magically, this guy wasn't on anyone's watch list. He wasn't on some...

Bolo be on the lookout for folks. This doesn't make any sense. Okay. When I was an agent, when you were doing a site advance in whatever Omaha, Nebraska, you would get a portfolio of people. And it would say like this guy threatened the president, this guy threatened this guy's kids. This guy's a lookout and you would have a Bolo be on the lookout, not to arrest them because they didn't do anything now, but to make sure they didn't come into the site. Okay.

How the hell was this guy engaged in pre-op surveillance, had a freaking GoPro camera, and all these foreign contacts, and nobody seemed to know? Bullshit. Don't think the Iranian threat is the exclusive. This is not a zero-sum threat game. Am I getting, is this making sense, guys? Because I have a feeling like I'm, there are people who don't understand what I'm saying, and I'm really going to, I'm going to be disappointed in myself. The threat game is not zero-sum.

If me, Evita, and Michael were bad guys from like a Batman comic, and we all have an interest in making Robin go away, we may never talk to each other at all. But someone on top who's like the crime lord of the city may get wind that all of us want to get rid of Robin and may facilitate it so all three of us get rid of Robin without any of us knowing. It's actually better off, as a matter of fact, that we don't know each other's plans. Why? Why?

Because if one gets caught, then he doesn't give up the other two. This is not a zero-sum threat matrix. I am extremely suspicious here that there may be some significant swamp activity going on here. There is no way this guy did all this stuff and evaded detection the entire time and didn't pop on anyone's radar. There's just no way.

Here's quick. Here's Ron Johnson on with Benny Johnson. He was on his show. And Ron Johnson, who's getting briefed on this, by the way, hints at the end at exactly what I'm telling you.

that it sounds like there may be something more nefarious going on here than just a couple chuckleheads who tried to kill Donald Trump because they were loners. Folks, the freaking story does not make any sense. I'm sorry. Check this out. Well, and you know, CIA has to have a file on him when he's in Ukraine. CBP was tipped off. I mean, they questioned him. Homeland Security Investigations didn't follow up on that. So again, that's why the federal government...

Let some guy like that slip through their fingers if there's not even potentially something more nefarious. So they're not turning over the records. We may never get them. Folks, why are they not turning over the records? Does that make any sense to you? If nobody had anything to hide and there wasn't a more sophisticated plot.

Remember, deep staters, intelligence assets, foreign governments, people who hate Donald Trump, they all may have the same interests in line, but they may not know about each other's separate plots. Why are they not being open and honest about information? All right, I'm going to take my last break, and I'm going to get into the campaign stuff because, folks, I'm obviously worried that if Donald Trump wins, we may not get to January with this continued elevated threat level.

And I can't express to you enough. I'm not telling you everything I know because I have sources here I have to protect. I give someone my word and they say, don't say anything. You're not going to act like an asshole and then go on the air and go, oh, screw you. I'm not going to. There's I promise you, I'm not steering you wrong. He is in real trouble with these clowns in charge now. They're all too busy covering their own asses. A bit of good news. Kamala Harris campaign is in a world of trouble, a world of trouble.

After a Vita show, you got to turn the air. It's down now. I'm dying. I'm seriously, I turned it down. You got to turn the thing down. It's like a freaking, so I am not cutting folks and I am not cutting weight for a UFC match. I, if I'm looking like I'm, it is hot as fuck in here. Pardon my line. Wait, I can't work like this. I need, you got it. I'm serious. You got to turn the, I'm dying in here.

I got a fan going, freaking AC in my head. I'm sweating. I got sweat coming out of everywhere. Holy moly, get me some Lume or something. Holy shit. My gosh. But it's like 100 degrees in here. Shit. It's like, is it bad enough yet? We're talking about like the climate control. And I'm not even talking about the election anymore.

You guys are killing me here. Turn it down. Okay, I'm in trouble. But three markers, Kamala Harris's campaign is in bigger trouble. Number one, she is doing something so obviously counterintuitive right now, you know it's being done out of a sense of panic. She's talking about a trip to the border. Why the hell would Kamala Harris want to take a trip to the border when she's the border czar

With an open border that is the number one or number two issue concerning every American. The answer is the internal polls and the Harris campaign folks must be a thousand times worse than the polls you're seeing publicly. So she's this is this is nothing more than a Hail Mary. Even who is it? Mark Penn, who's a Democrat pollster, was like, what is she doing? Like, why bring attention to this issue?

Second, she's releasing another economic plan. Of course, there aren't going to be any specifics. The thing's going to be all bullshit. But she's releasing this plan because, again, the internals on her campaign must be a thousand times worse than what you're seeing publicly. Third, another sign she's in deep, deep shit.

She now wants a CNN debate. She won't debate on Fox, but she's desperate for another debate. Her campaign, the fake AstroTurf gaslighting, ladies and gentlemen, is over. When New York Times, Sienna, and Quinnipiac, which have all been pretty friendly to Democrats over the last few election cycles,

are sounding the alarm about Kamala Harris, you know you're in trouble. I want you to listen to this Fox Martha McCallum clip on a New York Times Siena poll. She's in real trouble, folks. Check this out. The crucial battleground states. He now leads Vice President Harris by five in Arizona. Remember, Arizona was just down to, you know, tens of thousands of votes yesterday.

very slim margin in 2020. He trailed by five last month in Arizona. So that's a move in the New York Times Siena College poll to his benefit. He is up two points in North Carolina right now after trailing there by two in August, and he is hanging on to his four point lead in the state of Georgia. I can't say this enough, man. The guy runs

Between nine and five points ahead, or five and nine points ahead of every national poll,

Is it silent Trump voters? I got a clip I'm hopefully going to get to tomorrow on the show about that. How a number of voters now are saying, I don't like Trump, but I liked his policies. Those are the people in polls who I guarantee are either hanging up the phone when they're asked the question because they can't reconcile not liking him with having to vote for him because they know he's better. Do you get what I'm saying? They can't tell anyone. They're not ready. But I'm telling you, when they go in the voting booth,

Cha-ching, they're going to vote for Trump. He is going to outperform his polls by probably four to six points. I have zero doubt. Remember also, the national polling means nothing. If national polling from New York Times, CNN, and Quinnipiac has Kamala Harris tied or even a head-by-one, and Trump runs three, four points ahead,

There is absolutely zero math for her to win. No red wave bullshit. I don't want to hear it. I'm just telling you, she is in panic mode. Folks, I'm always candid with you. I don't have the deep sourcing I did on other campaigns, especially Obama's. You probably figured that out. I don't have as deep a sourcing on Harris as I did on Biden either. Where I got, I could always get kind of the inside take from people who know people, but

But the sources I have are not terrible. Panic is breaking out. They are in legit trouble. Here's Chris Coons, who's one of, I guess, our surrogates, a senator from Delaware, just a goofball. Here he is on CNBC, and he doesn't have an answer, again, for the Kamala Harris economic plan. And folks, listen to me. This is the most important takeaway from this segment, why Kamala's in trouble. Voters hate a vacuum. They hate it.

Voters, they don't like a vacuum. They need something to vote for. Anything. Undecided. Communists are going to vote commie. Hardcore Democrats are going to vote Harris. I get that. Undecided voters, you have to give them something. Kamala Harris will not answer anything on the death penalty, on guns, nothing on the economy. So here's Chris Coons and what does he do? Tries to blame Trump. But here's the problem they're having. Trump is in a vacuum.

Everybody remembers what the Trump presidency was like, and he's out in front of the cameras every day. Nobody likes a vacuum. She can't possibly win like this. And this is why she's making those three changes. Check this out. Do you believe that they deserve to know specific details about her economic plan? Should you know what your tax rate is going to be, or at least what she believes your tax rate should be before you go to the polls?

Should you know what the regulatory sort of regime in her perfected world would look like? I think these are sort of singular, important questions. And you could say maybe you're not supposed to know these things. But I think that's what people want to understand. She's laid out a broad vision for what are her priorities. And I think your average American voters got to look at the chaos, the unpredictability, the sort of careening around the field of the former president.

Folks, what he's describing is a vacuum. Let me give you the glossary to Democrat euphemisms. She's laid out a broad vision. She has a broad vision, meaning she said absolutely nothing specifically on any issue that actually matters. So what happens? Voters fill in the blanks. Trump is not a vacuum. You don't have to like him. But a lot of people remember times being a lot better in the Trump administration.

That's why she is in a world of electoral pain right now. If we execute and you go out and bring 10 people with you, I see very little chance, very little chance she pulls through. How bad does it have to be? Do you see this clip on CBS? This doesn't open your eyes. I don't know what will. Don't tell me signs don't matter. I ran for office.

If you go back and listen to my election, pre-election episode in 2016, I think it's only on SoundCloud or maybe Apple or something. I don't even know if it's still there. I predicted Donald Trump winning. It's not because I'm some genius or the Stygian Witches. Folks, I was in Florida. I was running for office. There were Trump signs everywhere, folks. Everywhere.

This stuff matters. It shows the level of grassroots support. Here's a CBS commentator having to acknowledge they drove through this area. It was all Trump signs. Check this out. When we drove through those cornfields, just about every line had a Trump sign. Flags everywhere, billboards everywhere, Trump campaign offices almost on every other block. Folks, this is CBS mornings, man. You see how all this other stuff is astroturf?

Look at his favorability thing you see with Kamala Harris. This was an MSNBC thing. Kamala Harris's favorability, 28% on January of 2024.

the lowest number ever recorded for a vice presidential candidate. Absolutely nothing has changed. She is the same radical, failed, incompetent, no leadership skills having loser she's always been. And all of a sudden, what? Her approval rate is 48%. One, I don't believe it. I don't believe that number at all. But second, it shows you as this is starting to collapse now, which it is, as the polls are starting to reflect it, that that was all media astroturf.

sooner or later, Harris has to give them something. You know, they put out a skeleton out there. Kamala Harris is great. She's not the shitty candidate we told you about. She has to go put skin and muscle on it. And she couldn't do it. She totally failed. Yeah, our favorability rating, even, yeah, the first time, it was lower than it is now.

Folks, people can feel when you're in a vacuum and you don't put skin and muscle on the bone, okay? People feel it. They will feel the vacuum. They can feel the economy. They can see the crime crisis. They can see the immigration crisis. I'm playing you left-wingers to show you how awful this thing is for her. Here's Jamie Dimon. Remember when he said this here? Here's Jamie Dimon. This guy is no conservative.

Big bank CEO cat, right? He's talking on CNBC. And he brings up the point that his liberal friends in New York City are starting to really get pissed off about the immigration crisis. These are the people who I promise you may not vote for Trump, but I promise you they're going to vote for him.

But I don't think they're going to vote for Harris. They may sit this one out. And I'm going to explain to you my negative one, zero, plus one, plus two theory of voting in a second. If you don't understand this, you don't understand voting. Check this out. If you do not control the borders, you are going to destroy our country. And so I think the people who think that somehow is OK. So now, you know, they're sending the immigrants into New York and stuff like that. All of my super liberal friends. Now they realize what a problem is. Did it did it have to be that?

You know, that we realize it. So we want to have a big heart for the world, but we have to continue. I get a lot of this. I'm getting this. I read you guys on Twitter, too. Why is Dan Pancino saying the lie of Trump, of Iran wanting to kill Trump? I'm telling you right now.

I get tons of these folks. I wouldn't read you the feedback on the air if it wasn't important. I'm telling you right now, you are being played so badly by people with an agenda. I don't even want to say what it is. You figure it out. You're being played for suckers. You think Trump is if you think Donald Trump is stupid and he put that tweet out yesterday and the team around him is stupid, then don't vote for him and you'll let him get killed.

I want you to read this again. So the former Secret Service guy who's been right about everything, collusion, Spygate, the Ukraine scandal, read my book about Ukraine, who has called out the Ukrainian role in election interference, is telling you with direct knowledge the fucking Iran threat is real. Trump is telling you and you're telling me it's a lie. I know what's coming next. The Jews made it up or something. You stick with that.

And I promise you when something else happens, you're going to be like, maybe we should have listened to Bongino. I wouldn't bring it up if I didn't get you. Moving on. I can only, I can, I can only lead you to what you don't want to drink it. You want to piss in it instead. Go right ahead. What, what, what, what could I, what skin could I possibly have in this game to make that up? You realize the people telling me this could potentially be killed themselves or

By this, that they may have. I'm just pissed off. Shit annoys me. I love doing my show, but I can't help. I can't fix some of this stuff. There are people who are just convinced that they know better. And I say, okay, what evidence do you have? Show me a shred of evidence that this Iranian thing isn't fake. It's made up. Show me your evidence. Your actual evidence, not what you think.

All right, getting back to what I was talking about. I'm sorry, but I care about this guy, folks, personally. And I care about the people around him and his family. And I know a lot of these people personally. Someone is going to die. This is not time to fuck around and play stupid fucking games and say dumb ass shit because I'm telling you the guy is going to get fucking killed. How many times do I have to call it? These are our own people. These are our own people out there.

Stuff gets me distracted, man. I've got the dog here. That's the good news. Lucy came over. Lucy, come say hello. Say hello to everyone. Lucy's just chilling over here. Maybe we'll do a Lucy moment. Bring Lucy over. Have Lucy say hello so I can calm down here because I just can't do it. Look at it. Say hello to the camera.

Lucy, say hello. There you go. Look at it. Take a geese by. Geese out here. He's over at the news studio. What do you think, folks in the chat? You like Lucy there? Lucy, yeah. Lucy's waving to the camera. All right. I did want to explain this, too, because this is why I think the Kamala Harris team is in a world of trouble. If I ever explain to you my minus one, zero, plus one, plus two voting strategy,

Folks, voting is not a strict plus one minus one game. That's not the way you like that. People put muttlies up. Is that like the new dog emoji? The reason Donald Trump's campaign is doing really well right now and Kamala Harris isn't is because unlike the prior campaigns,

There are constituencies that have voted for Democrats in 2016 or 2020. Hispanic voters, black voters. I hate demographic breakdowns, but the Democrats fall in love with this stuff. So we got to play the game too. They have voted for the other side. They are not reluctant voters, voters who didn't do anything. They're not, when I say a zero, I'm not talking about obviously measuring their characteristics. I'm talking about a strict math equation.

When you get a voter who had voted Democrat in the past and you flip them, folks, they're a plus two because they take away a vote from someone in the past on the Democrat side and give you one. It's a move of two spots. It's a move from negative one to zero to positive one. The Trump team is not only doing that by recruiting a bunch of black and Hispanic voters.

The Trump team is also taking a bunch of zeros. I mean, zeros vote wise, vote count. Again, don't take, don't use that as some kind of character analysis. People who've never voted in the past, who now for the first time are like, you know what? I really like Donald Trump, but would never consider voting Republican and they're voting too. It's a huge deal, man. The plus two is the greatest thing you can do because you move someone away from the Democrats and into your column.

I want to jump ahead. Can you put the Sandra Smith thing on with Kelly Hyman instead? I want to get to that because I'm going to get some good stuff here. I want you to watch what happens here. This is why a lot of people, Hispanic voters, black male voters, black female voters, are moving away from Kamala Harris and are moving towards Donald Trump. This is a plus two move. It's not just a plus one. It's huge. It's why it's causing her a lot of problems in Pennsylvania, especially with the Philadelphia vote and elsewhere.

Here's this woman, Kelly Hyman on Fox and probably one of the most disastrous appearances you'll ever hear. Sandra Smith is not some big MAGA person. She's not looking to make any, I've known Sandra Smith for a while. Trust me. She, she, she considers herself more of a journalist. She's not so much an opinion person. She doesn't really have any dog in the fight with making you look stupid on the show. You'll never come back. She has this Harris surrogate Kelly Hyman on the show, right?

I have never seen an appearance go worse than this in my life. This is what happens when you create a vacuum on policy and you're asked to go on the air and defend it. Folks, people see this stuff. This is why the women's campaign is falling apart. Check this out. Paris's plan. We're waiting. Okay, there's...

There is a lot of aspects to it in regards to looking at it online. So let's talk about lowering the grocery cost because that's something that's brought up. The viewers can look at this online. She talks about certain things in regards to advancing the first federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries to set clear rules to the road to make it clear that big corporations can't unfairly exploit consumers as well. Is that happening? Is that happening?

COULDN'T -- IT'S NOT AT THIS MOMENT. NO, THIS IS HER PLAN THAT'S LAID OUT FOR THE FIRST 100 DAYS WHEN SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

In regards to that, I don't know exactly if that's currently happening or not because I'm not privy to that type of information. But there are people are costing a lot of money in regards to groceries. Okay. And that potentially is why. I think you're having a hard time articulating your plan. I'm not. Honestly, that's not true. I'm constantly being interrupted by you, which as a woman, I think is...

disrespectful. I'm when I'm trying to speak every time I try and speak, you speak over me. Okay. Final thought. Thank you so much for having me. Okay. I was giving you time there. All right. Thank you very much. I appreciate you joining. So she gives her a final thought to articulate Kamala Harris's bold vision for the economy moving forward, broad vision too. And what did she say? Oh, Hey, thanks for having me. I'm out of here.

This is what happens when you create a vacuum. People fill it in. Folks, this woman is a disaster. Now, I'm going to make a prediction. I had Jim flag it yesterday. We can double flag it if you'd like. And as folks, I said this, I'm pretty sure before this happened yesterday, I did thank you flags in the chat. I did not know about this appearance. I promise you, I'm not trying to sound like some kind of Karnak from the Johnny Carson show. But what happens in elections, if you've ever run in them,

is if you know you can't win in a straight-up convert-the-independence fight, right, you have to go back to your base and make it a mega base election. You have to just say, okay, I give up. I have tried with my broad vision for the economy to convert independence.

It's not happening. We have now got to get our base to come out and get the zeros off the bench. Remember what I was talking about before? In other words, people who are registered Democrats, i.e. our base, we got to get them off the bench because Kamala Harris knows she's not going to get a plus two. Kamala Harris, I promise you, is getting no Trump supporters to unvote Trump and revote her. The plus twos. It's not happening. She's given up on this.

So the only way to get the zeros off the bench to get a plus one is a mega base election. And the only way to do a mega base election is to start saying stuff that is increasingly radical and will appeal to the fringe on the left wing that may still be sitting on the bench. I said that yesterday, Jim, you remember it? I told you to flag it. I get off the air. I'm doing show prep. This article pops at the Wall Street Journal.

Kamala Harris now wants to dump the filibuster. Folks, if Kamala Harris gets in office, Chuck Schumer is the Senate Majority Leader, and Hakeem Jeffries is the Speaker of the House, the Democrats have now told you the Senate filibuster is out the window. Schumer says he has the votes. If the filibuster goes out the window, every single thing that you can envision that would bring about a U.S. dystopia

illegals registering to vote, you know, card check,

confiscatory taxes, unrealized gains taxes, government control of healthcare, you know, shitty Medicaid plans for everyone. All of that stuff is going to happen because there's going to be a 51 vote threshold. Kamala Harris saying yesterday on a public radio station, I believe in Wisconsin that she's going to dump the filibuster is absolutely

prima facie evidence of exactly what I told you. She knows right now this is a mega base election. She has given up. The vacuum approach has not worked. The economy vacuum approach hasn't worked. So now she's going to start saying increasingly radical stuff. Also,

the weaponization of government. You are going to hear more stuff like this. This is Hillary Clinton. How do you feel if we lose about being deprogrammed? Oh, she didn't say that. Really? Listen to yourself. So many of those extremists, those mega extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He's only in it for himself. He's now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions.

And when do they break with him? You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen. So we've had Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris just in the last couple of days. We've replayed clips of them talking about deprogramming, Hillary Clinton talking about putting these MAGA people in jail, talk about dumping the filibuster. Folks, the nightmare is not coming. The nightmare is here.

You have a chance if you execute and bring 10 people with you to the polls. You have a chance to turn this train around. I'm begging you as your friend, and I'm sorry I got distracted before about stuff. I think you can tell I'm pretty passionate about this. There's a lot of stuff to get to, and I should just stay on target. I don't mean to waste your time.

But I hope you guys understand. You guys are with me every day. I'm just a guy. I don't have superpowers. I get distracted. But this is too important of a time to say the same thing two or three times. And that's on me. It's totally on me. I made my point. I should have just moved on. Because this is way too important of an election to keep screwing around, man. It is time to execute and bring 10 people with you. How do you feel about more of this?

You know, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr seems like a pretty good guy. I've read some of his op-eds. He was on Glenn Beck's show talking about this disaster, which I'm going to get to now and on the radio today, too. You know, George Soros is talking about buying or actually has engaged in this agreement to buy a bunch of radio stations from Odyssey around the country. Here's the FCC commissioner. They look at this kind of stuff from a bureaucracy lens at the United States government.

He's asked a pretty simple question. Why do you think a big left-wing mega-donor like George Soros would buy all these stations right before an election? You think it's for some benevolent business purpose? Listen to the answer. It's pretty telling. We're told everywhere that radio is a dying medium. Why would George Soros want to invest this kind of money? What did he say in his request?

It's a good question. I mean, look, I don't know a lot of billionaires right now that with all of the options for where they're going to place their money, they're sitting around saying, you know what really kicks off a lot of cash right now are local radio stations. Maybe, maybe, but if anything, we're seeing the opposite. We're seeing a flight of capital from local broadcasting because it's so challenged right now with competition from social media companies and over-the-top providers.

So maybe there's a business case there that they're smart enough to see that everyone else doesn't see, but that's really not the direction of the capital we're seeing right now. Folks, he's basically saying that it's not a whole bunch of people investing in specific mediums as a capital enhancing thing. In other words, this is probably a political reason. Why would a left-wing mega donor buy a bunch of radio stations around the country? I made my point yesterday. I'm going to make it again today.

Folks, if George Soros, I don't know if we're on any stations. I got Jim looking into it that he will own or owns now. But some of you may say, well, you should probably, you know, quit those stations. No, no, we shouldn't at all. We should use those stations to tell Soros, pardon the language again, but we tell him to go fuck himself on his stations. Don't you think? And let him fire us. Isn't it that much better?

I mean, the revenue from these stations is minimal, folks. I work for Westwood. I don't work for that company, Odyssey. So it doesn't matter. I may be on some of those stations, but I don't work for these George Soros stations at all. I work for a completely separate company. You've got Salem, Premier, Westwood, and then Odyssey, and then there's a couple others, Bonneville. I don't work. I work for Westwood. So that's the radio syndicator. But we may be on those stations. Would it be great on Soros' stations today

To tell him to go F himself? That's the way to go. That's the way to do it. Make him fire us. Be glorious. And then let all the locals complain when he pulls us off the radio station. That's the way to roll. I told you, he'd kiss my ass. I'll say it over and over again. I have absolutely zero fear of being fired, terminated, any of that stuff. Don't care at all. You already saw what I did with the other stuff before we had the vaccine mandate thing I got rid of.

I give zero shits about that stuff. You stay on his stations, and you tell the entire world who George Soros is. No fear. No fear. Because the Is It Bad Enough t-shirt came from prosecutors supported by George Soros. Folks, thanks again for tuning in. Hey, Rumble. We have Rumble Premium as an option now.
