The October Surprises Have Arrived (Ep. 2348)
01:00:17 Share

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. We're doing it live!

We're doing it live. We're back live yesterday. Sadly, we had a tape early. I live over here in the east coast of Florida.

Oh, sorry. That's how live it is. That's actually me playing my own show on the thing. So now you can hear it. Big show today. I got that. Also, folks, who would have thunk it? The October surprises are here, but they're actually destroying Kamala Harris.

This is freaking weird. There are three, four things happening right now they did not see coming in the campaign. Kamala doesn't know what to do. She doesn't know what to do. She's in a free fall right now.

I got to tell you something, as my friends and as a member of this Bongino Army, yesterday,

was basically a day off because we had taped the podcast early because we had to. I didn't know what to do with myself. I'm telling you straight, man. Not being here with you guys, there's this dopamine rush I get out of it every day. It's like the cold plunge, you know? It's like you work hard to produce the show. Like, you know, you're working hard in a cold plunge to heat up. And then you get out and, like, you do the show and you feel amazing. This is like my cold plunge. I didn't know what to do. I'm sitting there all day. I'm cleaning up my house. It was a total...

Total mess. So here's what happened here. And by the way, if you hear that sound outside, it's a bunch of people cleaning up out there. The place is a train wreck.

If you were on the East Coast, the hurricane made landfall over on the West Coast of Florida. You already know that, Helene, right? Here's the strangest thing, the most tragic thing. The death toll, everybody who died, died over here where I live. I live, so Mar-a-Lago's in Palm Beach County, right? I'm sandwiched between Palm Beach and St. Lucie County in a county called Martin, like the name Martin, right? Right.

Martin County is not, we're not huge. Palm Beach County is bigger. But what happened was we're taping the show. And if you notice and you go back and listen to the podcast, I'm sorry, I don't mean to get into my personal life here, but this is a national story what happened.

And these guys can attest to it. We were taping the show basically after the radio show on Wednesday, right? So it's like 4 o'clock or so Eastern time on Wednesday, and we're not expecting anything. The hurricane hadn't even made landfall yet on the West Coast. The damn thing got so big, the wind bands were on the East Coast out here. Michael takes this picture, and like an hour later, what happened, guys? Tornado warnings on the phone. Were you guys getting them?

Beep, beep. I mean, like, we don't usually get tornado warnings over here, folks. It did not stop. It went off the entire night. People were wiped out. Palm Beach Gardens, Martin County, we had a place, Furry Friends, which my, the guy building our office, this guy, Ronnie Kirchman, Kirchman Construction, who's an amazing guy. Thank you, Ronnie. He's putting together this animal rescue place.

Totally wiped out. Destroyed. People got destroyed. Palm Beach Gardens, there were entire communities, hurricanes ripped through. There were dumpsters. Full-blown dumpsters. I'm not talking about like the bag dumpsters. I mean steel dumpsters. You can see the pictures online on people's roofs.

And then St. Lucie County, the sheriff up there, Pearson, was on TV. He was the one in the rain on TV on Fox. Their whole vehicle facility got wiped out. So we had just an insane amount of tornadoes over here. So, guys, can you throw that up, the thing I put first? This was just from the local news guy. As it turns out, as we were going through it, we're like, this is nuts.

This guy, Noah Bergen, who's a weather guy. I don't know him, but I was following him over the last few days. He says, crazy day for tornadoes in central South Florida. Nearly as many tornado warnings as occurred in Alabama during the super outbreak of 2011. Sadly, it turned deadly. Yet people died. Here are the numbers. That was today. That was before I think even today it concluded. There were 126 tornado warnings.

So it was, I don't want you to think I just took off the radio show casually. I didn't. And we recorded the podcast because we got an election coming up.

And I want to thank, again, Ron DeSantis, the state, the town I live in here, and the city of Stewart as well, because they've been doing a good job, but there's a big cleanup. So thank you, everyone, for your patience. Again, we're back live. Let me get back to the show now. I hope I didn't bore you with my personal life. But we're okay, by the way. We just have a pretty massive cleanup. We had a banyan tree on our property. We absolutely love Spanish moss, and it's like...

The trees are everywhere. So it's going to take a while for us to clean up, but everything here is okay. We're broadcasting live, right? Let's get back to the show. Thank you for everything. Thanks for your support. You know, we'll get through this and people in North Carolina and elsewhere who are still struggling. There's another side of this, you know? So who to thunk it folks, the October surprises are piling up, but for the libs, this is the craziest thing. Now hear me out for a second.

conservatives, MAGA supporters, and I think even libertarians who are leaning towards Donald Trump after what happened with RFK and Elon and others. And Michael, tell me if you think I'm crazy. You're a good political guy here, right? Yeah, but you're more libertarian on the libertarian front, but...

I think we've become so immune from 2016 and 2020 to bullshit stories, right? Tell me if I'm crazy. Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are giving each other handies and massages and they're stealing the election. Everybody was like...

At first, I think mild Trump supporters, not the hardcore Trump supporters, were like, oh, maybe there's something there. Like, this could be something. Okay, hoax. Then 2020, they're like, here's the Hunter Biden laptop. Hunter Biden actually gave it to a guy. And you get this letter. Oh, look, Intel officials say it may be Russia did it. 2020, we were like, okay, that's bullshit. Like, right away. Right? Is that my analysis kind of correct? Now, 2020.

Yeah, thank you. Michael said, right. Michael will believe there's an alien invasion before he believes a CBS story or anyone else says anything about Donald Trump. So I think the problem liberals have now is they keep launching these October surprise stories about Trump that keep falling apart and nobody's believing them at all to the point now where no shit, if they were to actually launch a real October surprise, they were like,

Donald Trump was really the son of Sam. He was the serial killer. It wasn't that guy David, was it Berger? Was that the son of Sam? That wasn't him. It was Donald Trump. Even if it was real, if they had DNA, if they had Donald Trump on video saying, I was in fact the son of Sam, the infamous serial killer in New York, nobody would believe them. No one. Everything's falling flat. There's a big bot.

But there's a big but the October surprises for Kamala.

They just keep coming. I really love this guy, Peter St. Ange. His videos are amazing. You should follow him. Follow him on X. Follow him. I think he's got a show. This guy is hilarious. He's an economist-oriented guy. Super smart. Here's about a minute where he describes exactly what I've been telling you more eloquently than I've said it about how the October surprises are now kicking Kamala Harris and her team right in the gonads, and there's nothing they can do about it because everything they did

Those chickens are coming home to roost. Check this out. With the Katrina-level federal incompetence in North Carolina, the New York Times is panicking that, quote, economic...

turbulence could sink Kamala's campaign, handing the nation to mega fanatics who want to seize the federal government and make it leave you alone. The article laments that we're seeing October surprises, but the wrong kind of surprise for the New York Times liking. So instead of wall-to-wall coverage by salivating left-wing journalists of Donald Trump's banter, instead the New York Times is worried we're getting a war in the Middle East.

that could send oil prices soaring a port strike that threatened to cripple the economy already old news and a hurricane that revealed in horrifying detail how rotted out our america last federal government has become

the times laments more in anger than sorrow how all of these unlucky breaks are hitting just when quote american policy makers were gaining confidence they had successfully tamed inflation they are particularly worried about oil since politicians have known for a generation that gas prices make or break an election

Folks, the October surprises are kicking them in the nuts, not us. And they can't get away from them because the numbers are the numbers are the numbers. Look at this. I wrote this down. I love that video. I wanted to make sure I launched the show. I think I sent that a couple of days ago. I'm like, guys, we got to run with this. The storm response, awful from Biden-Harris, just awful.

Awful. I don't care what they tell you about what FEMA is doing now. Ladies and gentlemen, political optics matter. The storm response was devastating. Kamala Harris, fact, was in Hollywood hobnobbing at a fundraiser. That is an irrefutable, undeniable fact. While people were drowning in Hurricane Helene.

You can't argue that. Look it up. It happened. Joe Biden was on the beach the next day after it. They didn't visit for a week. FEMA money. FEMA money was used for illegals. Was billions.

Billions of dollars for illegals. Our money was sent overseas. They were sending out tweets about sending our money overseas while people were struggling and FEMA was crying broke. Folks, optics matter, okay? The media told us optics matter. Your rules, dipshits. You wanted them. Now we're going to play ball. Remember when George Bush and Katrina said, talking about Michael Brown, Brown, he's doing a good job. And by the way,

The Katrina response was the best they could do. It was the locals who screwed it up. Go look it up. Go look it up. But we were told optics matter. Don't tell Michael Brown he's doing a good job. They ruined this guy, the media, because they told us optics matter. Biden was on fire.

the beach. Mayorkas was shopping for hammock pouch underwear to shield his nuts from the sun rays in a high-end men's store while people were dying, okay? That's a fact. Mayorkas, Biden, Harris, total garbage, absolute filth. They screwed it up, and their October surprise was that they sucked

and they surprised us by sucking even worse than we thought they sucked. The second, as you heard in the St. Onge video, the Middle East blowing up. Hot today again, as Israel, the IDF, their intelligence services take out more demon savage terrorists. I hate demon savages.

Put them six feet deep, as many as possible. Good for them. The Middle East is blowing up right now. Nobody's listening to Joe Biden because nobody gives a shit. It's so bad they had to edit the answer at CBS. The jobs numbers came out worse than expected. There's an Afghani in the country accused of a terror attack on Election Day who apparently was working with the CIA, another Biden thing. You had a port strike.

That's barely resolved. Don't let anyone tell you the port strike's over. Oh, yeah, there's a cooling off period and a temporary deal. But they didn't agree to any long-term stuff, the port strike. Inflation came in hot again, and gas prices are going up. Again, folks, this is just the numbers, okay? You don't believe me? Fine, cool. This is like a supermarket, this show. Why in the chat? Now they can look again live.

Because we always bring receipts. Yahoo Finance. Yahoo Finance. And Michael, is this a big conservative website? No, it isn't. Thank you. Not at all. Don't tell me I don't bring receipts that are bipartisan, nonpartisan, whatever. Inflation. Consumer price increases in September come in slightly hotter than estimates. You think that's a... But that's Yahoo Finance, liberal D-bags. Yahoo Finance. They're about... They're more communist than Vladimir Lenin.

They're telling you. Look at the date, October 10, 2024. Here, you want another one? Notice, I'm using no conservative sites here at all in case you think I'm fudging the fact that inflation's getting bad again. I thought we were told it was under control.

Too bad, so sad, you got effed again. Here's Bloomberg News. Bloomberg News, you mean like the left-wing gun-grabbing? Yes, that guy. Here's Bloomberg News telling you how bad the inflation numbers came in again. Higher than expected yet again. You want more government spending? More inflation? Keep it up. Watch this.

Let's take a look at CPI. It comes in a little bit hotter than anticipated, up two-tenths of a percent, same as last month. Forecast was for one-tenth. The core comes in up three-tenths. That is also a little bit hotter than forecast. Two-tenths was the belief. Three-tenths was what we saw in August. The year-over-year numbers, 2.4% for the headline, not as good as anticipated. And for the core, 3.3%, not as good as anticipated.

So 3.3 for core inflation. In other words, stuff you really buy. Folks, what else do you need to hear? This show does not F around, okay? We're not... I would happily bring you conservative sources on this. However, the numbers are the numbers. I choose liberal sources for one reason. Because I don't want to be accused, oh, Bongino's making that up, it's a conspiracy theory. Really? Yahoo Finance and Bloomberg? Inflation is out of control, folks.

It has been out of control for three freaking years. And you got that Milton Friedman video. I know it's at the end of the show. I'm sorry to mess with you guys, but do you know who I'm talking about? I sent that Rand Paul sent this out. It's only about 30 seconds. Don't sweat it. Folks, listen to me, please, please, please. This is the most important 30 seconds of your life. Inflation is always and everywhere.

A money phenomenon. The more money the government prints, if you were to helicopter drop like the government does, $100,000 on an island that only had $100,000 on it, how much money would be on the island? $200,000. So the prices of things on the island would likely double. Yes, it's a simplified answer. Who has the only power to helicopter drop money?

The Federal Reserve, which is a government entity despite claiming it's quasi. It is not. The Federal Reserve finances all of this government borrowing. How do you think, where do you think the government's borrowing from? The Federal Reserve makes all of this happen.

They are printing more money because the government's spending more money and Kamala Harris is now running on spending more money. So if you like this inflation, according to Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance, then yes, vote for Kamala Harris. I'm not here to mess with you. I'm not here to tickle your fancy. You like inflation, vote for more Kamala Harris. She's proposing ridiculous amounts of new spending. Here, listen to Friedman explain. Government is the...

The only person causing this inflation right now is government. Listen to this. Inflation is made in Washington because only Washington can create money. And any other attribution to other groups of inflation is wrong. Consumers don't produce it. Producers don't produce it. Trade unions don't produce it. Foreign sheiks don't produce it.

Oil imports don't produce it. What produces it is too much government spending and too much government creation of money and nothing else. Folks, nobody else can create money. I'm going to see how slick you guys are. This is a pop quiz. Evita, you listening over there? She's not here? I'm sorry. So she's definitely not listening. Mike, what is it called when people other than the federal government print money and go try to spend it? Do you have any idea?

This guy's a math major. Holy shit. It's called counterfeiting. It's a crime. How do I know that? Because I used to work for the Secret Service and we'd arrest people for doing it. Where do you think this money's... Honestly, for a second, I was a little nervous. He's a math major, this cat. Only the government prints money.

Inflation is a government problem. Who is in charge of the government? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. If you want more inflation, vote for them. Just do it. So the October surprises, the inflation number. Folks, that was a big surprise. Not to me, to the Democrats. I told you inflation wasn't going anywhere. Did I not go listen to my shows?

The Democrats don't know what to do. They can't escape the numbers. It is getting really bad for Kamala Harris, folks. I am hearing now from very reliable people. Yeah, they are Republicans, but people who know politics, the Kamala Harris campaign right now, they are in an absolute free fall, and they are seriously worried not just about her losing, but about down ballot effects too.

If you're showing up, vote Republican down the ticket. I get it. They're not the solution to your problems. Your boy understands. However, the cause of all your problems are the Democrats. And if we don't get a Republican Senate and a House, they may be useless. But you know what the Democrat Senate House will be useful for? Impeaching Trump.

I'm not telling you it's a perfect world. I'm telling you we got to deal with the world we live in. Get your ballot and do not skip a single race. R, R, R, R, R. We can clean up the mess later in primaries. I'm not telling you they're useful. I'm telling you the Democrats are useful for impeachment. At least I'm honest about it. Quick break, and I'm going to show you just a quick thing about the CBS scandal blowing up and how this Middle East crisis now...

Mayorkas, this thing, they can't get away from it, folks. The bad news. You know the thing called the big mo in politics, momentum? Negative momentum's a real thing, too.

Hey, when it comes to protecting your family, it's not just about a firearm. Lethal force isn't the answer for every situation. Everybody here is going to get a burner. We're still waiting for them. We're really excited about this. Listen, if an imminent threat comes your way, instinct may drive you to reach for a firearm immediately. But what if there are a way to defend yourself in the escalated situation without the irreversible consequences of deadly force? Burner. They have a non-lethal pistol launcher equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

No need to go DEFCON 1. You just need protection to ensure we can defuse the situation and drive the threat away. Listen, I've trained with firearms through my job as a police officer and a federal agent for most of my life. I am a firearm aficionado. I have many of them. The Burner pistol was one of the easiest to learn and use. They sent me one before I agreed to sponsor. I really love it. If you don't own a firearm, if you don't own one, if you do own one, it's a great option to have. Made in America, legal in all 50 states, requires no background checks, and shipped right to your door.

All right, back to the show. Folks, it's not just the inflation crisis now exploding again. The Middle East is blowing up in their faces. And I'm going to spend a ton of time on this.

But it's so bad, CBS had to edit Kamala Harris's interview on why no one in the Middle East is listening to these two idiots in the White House right now.

Just the news. There's now huge pressure to release the unedited version of Kamala Harris' 60 Minutes interview answer on why Netanyahu and others are completely ignoring him. My guess, folks, the reason they edited it is it's even worse than you can imagine. What do you mean, Dan? We've seen the edited and the unedited. No, I don't think you have. Folks, I think the unedited answer is even worse than the one they put on before they edited it. You follow what I'm saying here?

I think the unedited answer from the edit and the additional edit is even worse than you can imagine.

Nobody is listening to them. And then we find out yesterday that this corrupt, disgusting piece of garbage, Mayorkas, shopping for menswear while people are drowning, spending our money on illegals from FEMA, opening our border, facilitating a fentanyl crisis, terrorists, murderers, sex offenders in our country, the most disgusting human being to ever occupy a cabinet space, a danger to this country, Alejandro Mayorkas. Now we find out

That a terrorist is in the country. Who was brought into the country from Afghanistan. Kind of sounds like something we warn people about. We find out now that he was working with the CIA. Oh my gosh, is that a conspiracy theory? It isn't. I'm out of conspiracy theories, folks. It's for real.

Now we find out that this guy was in the United States planning an election day plot, which, by the way, is probably not the only one. Reason number 10,000 to get your vote in early. Go to the location. Go. If you don't have to vote by mail, don't. If you have to, fine. You have no choice. Go to the voting location. Vote early. Vote early. Have I said it enough, Michael? Vote early. Vote early.

Early. Vote early. Vote early. Dan, I'm annoyed. Good. Vote early. Say it one more time. Vote early. They are not the only ones plotting something on election day. Giza's confused still. Vote early. I thank you. Now, can we get it?

Look at this video, folks. This story about this Afghani is a big effing deal. So big, Mayorkas does not want to answer any questions. This video is long. I may cut it off a little early. You don't need to see the whole exchange. A little over a minute or so. But Jackie Heinrich from Fox, who I want to applaud, did a great job. She did not let him off the hook.

It's like, hey, man, I get it. We're here about this FEMA thing, but we got a freaking terrorist in the country plotting election day massacre with 20 days to go. Like, are you going to answer any questions on this or what? Watch Mayorkas shit his diaper again. I wonder if he was out after this getting menswear or maybe new diapers or something. Listen to this.

Thanks, Green. Mr. Secretary, it's Jackie Heiner from Fox. I want to ask you about a different story. This Afghan national who was working for the CIA in Afghanistan was arrested for planning an Election Day terror plot. He was brought to the U.S. after Afghanistan collapsed, your agency says, as part of the S.I.V. program.

The State Department is telling us he was not part of the SIV program, which had strenuous vetting. They say he was never issued an SIV or immigrant visa, and DHS paroled him into the U.S. They further expect the court document to be updated to reflect this on the DOJ side.

So, Mr. Secretary, how was this man brought into the U.S.? What screening did he undergo? What did he apply for to get here?

Jackie, I'm here in North Carolina communicating with the individuals who are still conducting search and rescue operations. Over 200 people have lost their lives in Hurricane Helene. We have reports that at least 10 individuals have lost their lives as a result of

Hurricane Milton. I'd be very pleased to answer your question in a different setting, but we are here to talk about emergencies and the support that we can deliver to people in desperate need. Thank you. I appreciate that, Mr. Secretary, but we're getting conflicting answers from your agency and from the State Department about a man who was arrested for an Election Day terror plot. How do you not have those answers prepared?

Oh, Jackie, that's not what I said. What I said is I'd be pleased to discuss this issue at a different time, but I am here to speak about disasters that have impacted people's lives in real time, and that is the subject that I am addressing today.

This goes, folks, I don't even, this goes on for another minute, and he actually has the balls, this guy. The first time he's developed a pair of gonads in his life to say to Jackie Heimerich, you can basically keep asking, but I'm basically going to be persistent in not answering the question. There's a plot out there to murder people on election day according to these serious allegations, and this guy doesn't want to talk about it? The election, if he doesn't know, is a little over 20 days away, and people are voting now. Kind of important, no? And then he goes...

People are dying. Yeah, yeah, Al. While you were out shopping for hammock pouch underwear to protect your nuts. We know people are dying. We've been covering it on our show. We've been bringing attention to it on our show so people can get help. What the hell were you doing? I could tell you what your boss was doing, sunning his balls on a beach. I could tell you what Kamala Harris, where she was, she was out in Hollywood. Did you not know? Raising money. They only showed up seven days later.

Folks, the dreadful storm response is another one. Inflation blowing up again. The Middle East blowing up again. Nobody is listening. Number three, the storm response is one of the worst political optics and political action. Both, I want to be clear. Responses to the deadliest storm in modern times, Helene, and a super destructive storm. Folks, we lost six people over here within...

A 50-mile radius of my house, five or six people died. Where are these idiots? On the left, this government, nowhere to be found. Then you got, you hear like Cavuto on Fox yesterday, like attacking Donald Trump over this, giving Buttigieg a pass. Like what is going on over there? At least be honest and candid. Trump was out there raising money, bringing attention to the issue. Where were these guys?

I don't know if you saw that disaster yesterday. Here's Kamala Harris at a briefing. By the way, she has no business even being there. She shows up. She has no power authority in this whatsoever. The optics are terrible. Now she shows up a week later at one of these Zoom-type briefings, and apparently she's being, do you see this? She's being fed the questions. You see Donald Trump being fed questions ever? She's being fed the questions.

and she has to put her hand over her mouth and tell her staff, hey, it's a live broadcast so they don't hand her stuff on camera. You believe this? Watch. Check this out. We really got to watch those areas and those communities. So it takes quite a while for that water to drain. Thank you very much. Hey, Ken, I have a question for you. You mentioned words matter, and I know there is a lot of media following this briefing.

You see it? You see how she has to whisper to herself because she cannot think extemporaneously, folks. She has no, look at her right there telling her staff it's a live broadcast. You hear it?

She cannot think. You want this woman to think in a national security crisis? If there's a nuclear war that breaks out? There was just a leak in this Bob Woodward book. I don't know how true it is. It's Bob Woodward. I have no idea. I'm just telling you it's in the book. If you want to read it, these guys are big lefty, but whatever. Our intelligence community, which I don't trust as far as I can throw them, by the way, said there's a 50% chance Putin was going to use a nuke. You want this woman making decisions? She doesn't even know a question to ask in an emergency.

And then you got, again, what the hell was Cavuto doing yesterday on Fox? Did you guys see that? Kissing Buttigieg's ass? I'm going to tell you something. This is not personal. I'm going to tell you straight. He was always a very nice guy. As a matter of fact, he's dealing with a lot in his life. I'm not going to spin. I want to make this personal. He was always very kind to me. But this is a business I'm in. And we're in the business of politics.

And you owe the people some honesty. And wasting an entire segment with Buttigieg, using it to basically attack Donald Trump, who has no power to do anything other than bring attention, and that's what he did, and money, by the way. While Buttigieg, who's the transportation secretary, works for Biden, why not hold them to account? Ask him about all the money they wasted studying racist bridges and shit. Unbelievable, man. You can sense my frustration.

This has become like a battle between sane people and ass kissers now. I'm going to play for your video next. DeSantis freaking nuking Kamala Harris.

Folks, DeSantis, I live down here in Florida, has been kicking ass and taking names. The guy, I don't think he slept more than two hours a night. I think he takes little snoozers during the day just to stay awake. He looks tired, but he's out there. He's all over the place. He was down in St. Lucie County. Florida's a big state, folks. It's huge. It's not really wide, but it's really long. You can drive nine hours from the Keys and still not be out of the darn state sometimes.

I remember welcomed to Florida when I moved here, and about seven hours later, I was at my house. That's how long it is. He's all over the place. He's all over the place. He nuked Kamala Harris yesterday. I want to show you some other stuff, too, that happened yesterday. Martha McCallum at Fox did a good job. Listen, when it's done right the right way, it's done the right way. But you're free to attack me for whatever you like. But that yesterday, that interview was an abomination.

Back to the show. Folks, the October surprises keep coming in. And for the first time in two, three, four, five election cycles, they are all battering the left. Middle East inflation numbers, the storm response, the job numbers, the port strike, gas prices now ticking up. This has been a disaster. And contrast the response from the dreadful Democrats.

absolutely failed Democrat governor of North Carolina, Rory Cooper, just a horrible, awful, one of the worst governors in the country to what happened in Western North Carolina. His total lack of preparedness.

With Governor Ron DeSantis down here, where we had 3 million people out of power and linemen, heroes, heroes. Thank you, linemen and women out there. Thank you. Thank you. I'd give you a pound on my heart, but my elbows don't work. Thank you. We're already back and running in most of the state. And now it's just going to be recovery. Here's DeSantis nuking Kamala Harris and what he says here is 100 percent correct. Check this out.

There was some praise that came your way from President Biden and said that they had spoken, you had spoken. Then there was this brouhaha over Vice President Harris apparently reaching out to you and maybe not taking the call and this whole thing, accusations that this had all become politicized. Can you just speak to what happened there?

I am working with the president of the United States. I'm working with the director of FEMA. I'm marshaling all my state assets. We've been doing this now nonstop for over two weeks between Helene and this. And so if there's anything I can leverage to benefit my people, I'm going to do it. The fact of the matter is they put out a story saying I didn't take I'd even know she was trying to reach me. But she has no role in this process.

And I've been dealing with these storms in Florida under both Trump and Biden. Neither of them ever politicized it. And in fact, all the storms I've dealt with under this administration, although I've worked well with the president, she has never called in Florida. She has never offered any support. So what she's doing is she's trying to inject herself into this because of her political campaign.

And he's being nice here too, because he knows he needs to take care of his state. Biden sucks. Biden's response to this has been dreadful, okay? What does Biden and Kamala Harris keep doing? Again, he's a governor. He's got a lead. He's got to get stuff done.

DeSantis has been amazing. These two idiots in the White House have spent now a week complaining and whining and bitching and moaning and pissing in their diapers over what? Misinformation. What's the misinformation? That a Mayorkas was shopping for high-end menswear while these storms were going? We've got the picture.

What's the misinformation that Kamala Harris was at a Hollywood fundraiser as people were drowning? There's pictures of her there. What's the misinformation? Biden was on the beach for two days as these things made landfall. There's pictures.

They have been bitching about misinformation and they cannot cite a single example. I have put up for you. You guys have that montage of FEMA headlines. How many times do I have to put this up? These are FEMA press releases about spending your federal emergency management money on illegals.

How many times have we got to put this freaking headline up? Are you telling me your own headlines and press releases from the left are misinformation? These are their headlines. They were bragging about pissing away your money.

What are we, 11 days into the fiscal year? FEMA's out of money in a $7 trillion government, and they're citing misinformation? I want you to watch this pathetic exchange between, this is MJ Lee in the press room, and our FEMA director, Deanna Criswell, should be fired tomorrow. Fired tomorrow. They've been focused on DEI and illegals rather than federal freaking emergencies.

sets up here's the question from the hack media oh my gosh misinformation there's no misinformation misinformation is code word for truth i want you to watch deanna criswell's response i want you to note she never cites a single example in her answer of an actual piece of misinformation because everything i told you is true and we backed it up listen to this

The Press: You might have been talking a lot about the threat of misinformation, disinformation as it relates to strong recovery efforts. Can you talk to us about whether there's one piece of incorrect information that you think, in your view, has been most damaging that you think would be most important to clarify?

Well, honestly, I think all of it is damaging to our ability to be able to reach people. It's intentional to create distrust, and that level of distrust is, as the president said earlier today, un-American. And what we need to do is make sure people can get the assistance that they need and they deserve. And so I want people to be able to come to us, register for assistance, so we can help them on their road to recovery.

Nothing she said there was misinformation. Nothing. Do you notice they never point to anything specific? You got Cavuto yesterday again. Donald Trump said some Republicans are not getting help. No, what Donald Trump was saying is that some of these areas in North Carolina and Tennessee are Republican areas which didn't get adequate help, which is correct because the money was spent. Neil, did you miss this? How come you didn't ask about this?

FEMA, 380 million for illegals. These are FEMA press releases. FEMA, 77 million for illegals. DHS, 12 million for illegals. FEMA, 110 million for illegals. Folks, pause the screen if you're watching video on demand and Google in your left-wing lunatics so you can't accuse us of right-wing bias. Google these press releases. You can see them yourself.

$340 million for illegals. DHS, $300 million for illegals. Politico, $104 million from FEMA for illegals. It's your money. There's only one pot of money, the taxpayers. Tell me again, what part is the freaking misinformation, MJ Lee and Deanna Criswell? Why is everybody giving them a pass on this? Listen.

Fox has a wide array of talent, and I'm going to tell you something. When I worked there, they never told me what to say. And watch them or don't watch them. It's not my business. I'm just telling you they've got a wider range of people. They call them talent, whatever. It's kind of a silly word, but you get it. They've got a wide array. Some of them did a really good job.

Jesse's been absolutely all over this Secret Service thing. I mean, there's no one else and Hannity too. Martha McCallum did a good job here. Martha McCallum, I want you to see how these FEMA talking points, they're absolutely full of shit on the money. And when Martha McCallum, even a mild amount of scrutiny to Deanna Criswell, the FEMA director, hey man,

how come you've got all this money and all these people aren't showing up for work and your budget's like double, like what the hell you do with the money? I want you to watch Deanna Criswell fold like a cheap suit. She doesn't give a single substantive bullet point here as to how she pissed away all this money. Check this out.

I'm not saying that this is going to be easy, Martha, but we've done this before. You know, we've managed multiple incidents at once, like in 2017 with Harvey, Irma and Maria. We know how to do this. We plan for this. We're ready for this and we are going to make sure we meet everybody's needs. Let me ask you one question about that, because I looked at the budget, the FEMA budget, which has steadily risen every year.

And now we're hearing that, you know, that you have enough money for right now, but that you might have to go back to Congress December, January. So even from 2021 to 2025, you have $7 billion more at your disposal. So why what's going on? I mean, why is that not enough money that that that's in your budget when it goes up every single year?

Well, if you look at 2021, Martha, the biggest piece of that is the amount that we were providing to support COVID-19. We had a major disaster declaration in every state, every territory, and five tribes. But let's compare it to 2017, the year that you mentioned, which is the biggest hurricane in

year that we've had in a long time. So now there's so much more funding in 2024 than there was in 2017. So why is that still not enough to get the job done? She has no answer. Folks, I would have played the rest, but the answer, you guys probably heard the whole clip, is another two minutes of bullshit. COVID-19 was like 2020, 2021.

The government steals $7 trillion of your dollars every year. Trillion. Do you have any idea how much money that is? They can't figure out how to manage an emergency still? Folks, those press releases are real. They pissed all your money away. I don't know why some of these entities are afraid to bring it up. It's their press releases. No one's even disputing the authenticity of it. Listen to me, man. Hold on a second. I'm in a mood today.

Because we had people die here in our county. People got really hurt. People's communities got wiped out. There's a Palm Beach Gardens community in this little HOA area. You got to see this place. There were trucks on roofs. We got hit hard over here. Hard. We did not get hit hard by the hurricane. We got hit by the tornadoes from the hurricane.

And I am really getting tired of the bullshit. It's climate change. It's not climate change. Fuck sticks. Pardon my language. We went 10 years down here without a freaking hurricane. Assholes. I live here.

Most of you out there, liberal morons, don't. You live in New York and California and Illinois, and you don't know jack fucking shit about hurricanes. So pardon me, but shut the fuck up. We went 10 years here without a hurricane. Was that climate change too? We got hit. It's Florida. The University of Miami's nickname is the hurricanes. Look, this is my community. You have more. This is what happened.

So spare me the dumbass lectures about how Biden was only sunning his balls on the beach because he was on the phone. I know Kamala Harris has been deeply involved, even though she's even going to answer a freaking question. Mayorkas is shopping for high-end menswear. And then we've got liars and bullshit artists.

Again, we got Cavuto running cover with Buttigieg. And then you got freaking Tarloff on the five. Again, the queen of bullshit. This woman has had to correct herself on the air because almost everything she tells you is a left-wing bullshit talking point. And I'm really stunned. It is time for the host. You got to hit back. She makes stuff up all the time. Here's a perfect example of what I mean.

The hurricane response was shit. And you got Tarloff saying, hey, man, listen, at least the government worked hard with Elon to get Starlink up. Oh, really? Again, 10 seconds of research would show you what she's saying here. Like pretty much everything she says is total bullshit. Listen first.

on Musk to set up Starlink so that they could get some cell coverage on their phone to be able to apply for the 750. I mean, if it weren't for all of these private entities, I mean, the government just wasn't there in the beginning and they're playing catch up now.

Well, let's be clear. The government was the one that got the first 40 Starlink satellites to get to North Carolina when Helene struck. That was the U.S. government. The government was on top of that. Now, to say that what Joe Biden was doing was nakedly political removes the context of this, which is that the president of the United States of America is worried that people are listening to folks like Donald Trump, like Lara Trump,

This is hilarious. Again, she claims to be worried about misinformation as she tells you the government was working with Elon to get Starlink up and it did some amazing thing. Ladies and gentlemen, this took all of 10 seconds for me to debunk. She is full of shit. Almost nothing she tells you on that network is true. At least Harold has some dignity here. I'm going to read this to you, man. And I'm sorry, don't go anywhere.

I'm going to read this to you. Here's what really happened with Starlink. Wall Street Journal. No big Trump supporters, folks. Elon Musk rides to Biden's hurricane rescue. Do you know the FCC withdrew a grant for Starlink to cover rural areas? But the satellite service from Elon is now saving those in the counties. Now, we'll keep this up. She wants you to believe somehow Joe Biden did this.

Well, Joe Biden wouldn't have had to do it if they wouldn't have canceled the Starlink contract.

Elon said Starlink will provide temporary free satellite service in the affected hurricane areas. He's doing so even though the FCC, yes, under Biden last December, pulled an $885 million grant for Starlink to furnish high-speed internet to 640,000 rural homes and businesses, including, including, read up, Jessica, read up, including the very counties where FEMA is now deploying Starlink.

Read up, Jess. Read up. Have some dignity. Wait, wait. Don't go anywhere. As the Wall Street Journal wrote at the time, the FCC awarded Starlink the grant in 2020 because it can cover remote regions at a lower cost than traditional broadband. But the FCC's Democrat majority...

revoked Starlink's funding last year, claiming it wasn't making fast enough progress to connect rural Americans. Never mind the other FCC funding recipients weren't doing any better. Folks, it's like the motherfucking supermarket, man. We bring receipts every time, okay? You always get a receipt. Jess don't know that. Or maybe she does, and she's just lying. Dopey or lying? Dopey and lying. Nothing these people tell you is true. Nothing.

Now, as a member of the Bongino Army, you can rest assured you will always be armed with the facts here. You understand? You can go and look up that FCC Starlink drama, which I've been following since 2020. That's why it took me 10 seconds to debunk that. And she's lucky I wasn't on the five because I would have made a fool out of her. I would have pulled that article up on my phone right there, and she would have had to correct herself yet again. Everything they tell you is a lie.

Everything. Oh, this was that. Was this a CNN clip? Can I stop for a second? I said to these guys, I do a voicemail prep because I don't want to bother them during the day. And right, the voicemail was funny, right? I'm writing in my own way. Here's how I write the show. I write it. I don't want to type it. I like to write it. There's something to writing. Whatever. You know the deal. Kind of makes me memorize stuff more. And I don't want to, you know, I don't use a teleprompter. Well, for content. I just use it for, you know, to read verbatim quotes, right?

So yesterday, I'm leaving them the voicemail. I had just written down the show, and I forgot the clip. So we're going to play this next clip. But here's how I wrote it down. And I'm going to tell you something. I can see something on the screen, but I'm going to be candid with you. I have no idea what this clip says. All I know is I wrote this. And this is why the Harris campaign is panicking. That's pretty much it. And I'm telling them what I say in the voicemail. I'm like, guys, I forgot the clip. But based on the order, they said they figured it out.

So let's see. We're both seeing this for the first time. Check this out. We have some new CNN reporting today about what is going on behind the scenes inside the Harris campaign and more broadly among Democrats who are growing more and more anxious about a 2016 redux. CNN's Priscilla Alvarez joins me now. Priscilla, we were just joking here at the table that anxious Democrats happen on a day that ends in Y. But this is something that

perhaps is warranted given the data that they're seeing. Explain your great reporting. Yeah, look, that's exactly right, Dana. And this has been a campaign that was described by multiple Democrats, allies, aides to the vice president as a good vibes campaign. But what's also creeping in now is that anxiety. The reason for that is because these polls are not really moving.

Now I remember why I called it Kamala panicking. He said hilariously, listen to the voicemail. And he had already titled it before the voicemail Kamala panicking. So we knew folks, the good vibes campaign. Good vibes is falling apart. They are eerily. This is eerily. That clip goes on to say Democrats feel like this is 2016 all over again. I'm going to make the case to you right now. No red wave talk, period. However, let's be realistic.

I'm going to make the case to you right now that it could be worse. If, if you show up, execute and bring 10 people, absolutely no excuses. Folks, this could be a, could be a really bad night for the Democrats. You don't show up, could be a really bad night for us. They are in real trouble. I'm running out of time, but I got more stuff. So just bear with me for, I'm going to make, take this a little bit.

I gotta get off at 12. That's a problem at the radio show. I could take this all day. I'm in a mood today. You cannot run a campaign of joy and good vibes bringing the show full circle.

with an inflation crisis raging, jobs numbers lower than expected, the Middle East at war, the Middle East, no one listening to you in the Middle East and everybody knows it. A storm response while you're on the beach and at a fundraiser and shopping for menswear. How the hell do you run a good vibes campaign? Ladies and gentlemen, no one wants to hear your bullshit about good vibes. They don't feel good.

It's not like Reagan in 84. It's morning in America where people have lived through the dreadful late 70s and early 80s. Even the first few years of the Reagan administration were not great. But things were turning around. They felt good. Nobody feels good. They feel like Kamala Harris is kicking them in the balls. Now, my friend Darvio Moro put this tweet out. Folks, if these numbers are accurate, she is going to get destroyed. Darvio is a good guy. Read this tweet.

He says Marist and the Washington Post, these are not right wing outlets, release polls of Ohio. They said no shocker Trump's leading there, but he notes his black vote numbers are something he's never seen in this state at the presidential level. Marist has him winning 18% of the black vote. Washington Post has him at 24. He notes, I told you before that Ohio has the most Republican friendly black vote in the country, but it's rarely seen at the presidential level.

Bush won 16%. It's not really common. But he says the fact that Trump is polling this high this late amongst black voters should be a five alarm fire for the Democrats. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. How many times I got to tell you, folks, if we win this thing, you'll thank me after Election Day. Pennsylvania and the black vote. There are a lot of things to worry about.

A lot of things to be concerned about. I'm telling you right now, if Donald Trump polls 15% of the black vote nationally, 18% in Ohio, 15% in Georgia, a black vote, and then wins Pennsylvania, this thing is over. It's over. There is no math for the cackler to win.

And folks, she just can't compete with this, man. She can't save herself. She cannot save herself. She is not relatable. She has to be fed questions. She is a horrible, low IQ person. She has no ability to save herself. She can't do this. I want you to watch Donald Trump on a podcast. We're trying to reschedule our appearance with him, by the way. Just FYI, we'll let you know. This is the Shoals podcast.

It's a comedy show, but this is Donald Trump just being him. Kamala Harris cannot do this when she's herself. People are repulsed. Check this out. Where they, you know, still become ambitious and successful. So I do have good kids and five really wonderful children.

and different, very different. Yeah, they are so different. But you know, one thing that was in common that I did, I always used to say when I was with them or when they were leaving a room, I would drive them crazy.

no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. I would say that. Did you say that to Don Jr.? Yeah, Don's a little wild. He's a wild type. He can be a little tough. He told me a funny story. Go ahead. Okay. I talked to a bunch of people. I was trying to prepare for this interview. He told me a funny story.

And he said to me, he goes, once he asked if he could have a couple of friends over for New Year's. Was it New Year? No, no, it was July 4th. Right. On top of Trump Tower. Right. Five friends. And you said yes. He's like, I want five friends. You're like, okay, I'm out of town. Go for it. He brings 200 people over to Trump Tower. Okay. That's right. Okay. He says that you weren't supposed to be there. You end up showing up.

You hear some noise upstairs. You come up. You go, what the fuck is everybody doing here? Get the hell out of my house. He said he cleaned for the next 36 hours. And he said, to this day, you have never brought up that it even happened. And he said, I'm starting to believe it might not have happened. So can you give him closure? No, it happened. No, I can never give closure. You can never forget. Yeah.

Presented, ladies and gentlemen, without additional comment. Trump's the best weapon he's got for the Trump campaign. Kamala's the worst weapon. She just can't do that. Keem wants me to play the dog video, but I want to save this for Monday. It's not an unnecessary tease because I'm running low on time. There's this crazy dog video on TMZ.

A dog like turning into a human. He wants to know what I have to say about this because it came in so early in a very unusual presentation of content. I'll play it for you on Monday.
