Shownotes Transcript

Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino. Folks, it's catching on. Let me tell you something. Nothing pleases me more as a political commentator when we throw something out there into the ether and then it gets picked up by people and starts to get spread around. I mean, nothing pleases me more. What am I talking about?

Snapshots and sound bites, man. I've said it over and over. Political campaigns are about pictures and small little sound clips of audio, audio, video. It doesn't matter. Same, basically same thing. That's it. That's all they are. Think about it. Are you undecided? No, you are not. You knew who you were going to vote for two and a half years ago when Donald Trump hinted at running again. Okay.

You are not the target at this point. The campaign is coming down to undecided, basically independents and moderate Republicans and Democrats. They will only be convinced, I'm telling you, by pictures and sound bites. That is it. That is it. They are obviously not that deeply involved in politics like we are. It's not an insult. It just is what it is.

And they're just waiting. And it's going to be these things. And who is winning the snapshots and soundbites war? At this point, you're a lunatic if you believe it's anyone other than Donald Trump. I feel good. I don't feel great.

Someone said this morning, oh my gosh, conservatives are being doomers. We're not being doomers. I'm just telling you, if we don't execute, we can lose. And anyone telling you otherwise is lying. However, I would much rather be Donald Trump than Kamala Harris, especially after yesterday. Hey, Bongino listeners, get access to Beams.

Mike Flynn, Jr. Who I know. Well, good guy. Mike Flynn, Jr. Put this out on Twitter last night. A friend of mine sent it over snapshots and soundbites kids. The Bon Gino. Thank you, Mike Flynn, Jr. We appreciate it. And what was he talking about? Because there were pictures in

Here were the pictures. If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, we got the mugshot, the fight, fight, fight, the iconic fight, fight, fight picture. Trump waving at the McDonald's drive-thru with the McDonald's apron. And now we've got a new addition.

Donald Trump, these are not photoshopped in the orange sanitation vest in the Trump MAGA garbage truck. Ladies and gentlemen, snapshots and soundbites win campaigns. And I'm telling you right now, this guy is absolutely politically kicking their asses on the left with this. I have never felt better. I am not a doomer. I am a realist. I get that people out there want this thing to be over before it's over. I understand. I

I am not going to spin your wheels. I'm not a lefty. I'm not going to lie to people. I think we are in great shape. You understand? Does everybody get me in the chat?

I think we're in great shape. But I got another nice compliment on Twitter. I liked it this morning. I don't know this gentleman, but he said, no one's done more to turn out the vote than Dan Bongino. There are people who have. I appreciate that. I mean, Scott Pressler and others. However, I appreciate that. Yes, get out and vote. Vote early. Vote early.

Early and in person. Vote early and in person. Do I got to say it again? Vote early and in person. The fact that people know that I'm trying to not just talk but get people to do matters. The snapshots and the sound bites don't matter if we don't show up.

They got to motivate you to do. You've got to go out and vote. Early voting is still going on. You have an opportunity in many states to get out there in person. Folks, you don't vote. I'm sorry. This show is not for you. So what happened yesterday? I'm sitting home. The

The show is done. I had put it all together and I'm sitting up in this little like office area. I like to kind of chill in at night because it's dark, but who really gives a shit about what I'm doing at night? I like, you know, I got to fall asleep and stuff like that. Get those melatonin levels up. And a friend of mine texts me and says, you're never going to believe it.

He says, Donald Trump took all of our advice and showed up in Wisconsin with a garbage truck with a Trump sign on the side. I said, yes, yes, there it is. There it is. Why does this matter? Because for the umpteenth time, what wins political campaigns? Snapshots and soundbites. How many times are we going to say this? Over and over. Who gets snapshots and soundbites? The Trump team.

Who doesn't get it? The Kamala Harris team. Folks, this is just brilliant. This is just what they do. They have now, what's that? No, no, no, no.

The left can't meme. He says the left, they can't meme. They don't know how to make something punch optically, seeing it or the auditory. They don't know how to do it. This kind of stuff is how you win a news cycle. You can laugh at it all you want on the dumb ass communist media left. Laugh all you want. If you lose this thing, you will be crying on election day specifically because of things like this. And again,

You've got your snapshots. You've got your sound bites. Rule number one of politics, right? I've given you all the rules. You have the Dan Bongino handbook. I promise you will analyze the political situation better than anyone. It's how I called the 2016 election. Before it happened, go back and listen. The other thing you need to understand why I feel good, good, but not great about the election. Good is because of contrasts. This is a one versus two and a versus B.

You can be an okay candidate running against an awful candidate and you look like an amazing candidate. If it's good versus good candidate, you may have a problem. The contrast in styles between the absolutely hapless, not funny, socially inept Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, who just never seems to get caught in an awkward moment. And even when he does, he makes it funny and not awkward is just night and day.

Fox ran a compilation yesterday, I think it was on the five, of awkward Kamala Harris moments. She is just freaking cringe, folks. She is cringey bad.

Here's Donald Trump telling a story about how backstage he thought he should take the vest off, the sanitation vest, the orange vest, because he thought it may be awkward. And then he turns it into a Donald Trump moment. Guy, I was going to cut this a little shorter. Guy made a call. He's like, Dan, I think you should leave the minute and 20. I was going to cut it about 59. He said the whole thing is funny. Folks, you need to see this. This is why Donald Trump is coasting into Election Day, I believe, today.

I don't know what you say. I feel like we're in really good shape. Here's why. Watch this. And then I got in the car and I'm driving over here and I have this still on and I come into the arena and I say, where's my jacket? I want to get out of this thing. And they said it would be unbelievable if you could wear it on stage. And I said, no way. I got twenty five thousand people standing outside. I got all these people here. There's no way I'm wearing it on stage.

They said, "Oh, okay, sir." I said, "Get me my jacket." But if you did — you know, it actually makes you look thinner. I said — and they got me. I said, "I want to wear it on stage." When they said I looked thinner, I said, "In that case, I'll wear it on stage." I may never wear a blue jacket again. I may go — I may go in the — I said that. That was my — that was the word. That was the key. "Sir, you look thinner."

So anyways, folks, you in the chat, you get you. You get what I'm talking about? He has the ability to turn a situation that would make someone with a low social IQ feel out of place and awkward. What do I do in the vest? What do I do at McDonald's? And he's just funny. I don't know how to describe it.

People have been trying to describe market and bottle charisma for centuries. How many times I got to say it? The French have a word for it. The Genesee Qua, which basically means, I don't know. Nobody knows what it is. You just know it when you see it. The old line about porn, right? What is porn? I don't know, but I know when I see it. Oh, you know, charisma is the same way. He's just funny. He's just funny.

You have to be likable. Kamala is just really, really bad at this. She has no ability to make people comfortable with her at all. This is why I don't buy a lot of this. Oh, Trump, you know, the mean tweets and all that stuff. It's kind of offset by Trump at the rallies where he's just funny. Now, OK, I'm trying to make a solid case to you.

The chagrin of some on Twitter is that we are in good but not great shape. I always give you the good and the bad. The good news, folks, the early voting numbers I'm going to get to in a minute are only getting uglier for the Democrats. The bad news, they could still surprise us a little bit on Election Day. They could. The chances of that are getting smaller as we start racking up the votes, kids. Remember, polls, who gives a shit about polls anymore?

It doesn't matter. The only polls I care about are early voting. Polls don't mean squat. I'll give you an example. You want a 500-person poll out of Pennsylvania or a 300,000-person sample size of who shows up? Oh, okay, I'll take the poll. Thank you, me too. The numbers are savagely brutal for the Democrats. But make no mistake, they could still surprise us. It's not Doomer's stuff.

It's meant to motivate you to get out there by telling you the truth. But here's a really, really good piece of good news to dispute the whole Doomer narrative, which is nonsense. But, you know, I get it. Produce your work. Show your work, right? Here's Harry Enten at CNN. I play this guy a lot. I think he's been an honest voice over there.

Here he is with some really, really bad news for Kamala Harris. Folks, this is the number that should stick in your craw most of all. No incumbent, no incumbent has won a presidential election with a sense of malaise, right direction, wrong direction for the country like we have now with this number. It's never happened. It's never happened. Don't listen to me. This is on CNN. Check this out. Just 28%.

of Americans, voters, think the country is going in the right direction, is on the right track. And I want you to put that into a historical perspective for you. Okay, what's the average percentage of the public that thinks that the country is on the right track when the incumbent party loses? It's 25%. That 25% looks an awful bit like that 28% up there. It doesn't look anything

Anything like this 42% doesn't look anything like this 28%. So the bottom line is, very few Americans think the country is on the right track at this particular point. It tracks much more with when the incumbent party loses than with it wins. In fact, I went back through history. There isn't a single time in which 28% of the American public thinks the country is going on the right track in which the incumbent party actually won. They always lose when just 28% of the country believes that the country is on the right track.

Again, folks, produce your work, right? Anyone with a show and a Twitter platform can open their yapper, their freaking soup cooler, and say whatever. Oh, we're going to win. Oh, we're going to lose. We're going to win big. We're going to lose big. It's a red wave. It's not a red wave. It's a blue wave. Abortion. Women are voting. Men are voting. Show your work. I'm going to show you numbers coming up here in a second, but the right track, wrong track poll, those numbers are accurate.

There is not a single incumbent or vice president who has ever won with a wrong track number like that. Wrong track, right track number. Ever.

You can't have this many people dissatisfied. Now, the problem Kamala Harris is having is she has been unable to detach herself from the trappings of the Biden and Harris administration. She's been unable to say, hey, Joe Biden did this, but I didn't agree with it. She keeps going on TV saying, well,

well, there's nothing comes to mind, nothing comes to mind that I would change from Joe Biden. Well, Kamala, 60, 70% of America thinks that sucks. You really believe on election day you're going to get a mass break of Democrats? It still means you got to show up, folks. And you got to bring 10 people. I'm just afraid. I am deathly afraid of a lack of enthusiasm. Please tell me I'm wrong. Folks, this show's for you in the chat. Please, what was I saying? I said, okay.

I'm just trying to read the chat. Please tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm panicking. I'd love to hear it. Because I always say panic kills. Because in my last line of work, if you panic, you probably die. That's why we always say don't shit the bed, right? That was our line in the Secret Service. Don't ever shit the bed. They obviously didn't mean it physically. It meant don't panic.

I just want to seal the deal. And I am deathly afraid that if people hear this, hey, man, look, we're so ahead, we're way ahead, that they may vote, but they're not going to bring their 10 friends. And one more thing. Folks, I don't only want to win.

I want to, I'm correct. Thank you. I'm not, who just said that? You're not wrong. Okay. Black rifle 2A. Oh, there you go. That sounds like my kind of dude right there. Oh, maybe a woman. Yes. I'm not, I just, I want this to be a landslide. I want this to be a statement. I want us to win the popular vote. I want us to win one swing state they didn't expect.

I want us to compete in New Jersey and Virginia. I want the Democrats on November 6th, I want this thing called by midnight by sane people. And I want the Democrats the next day to say, what the just happened? Listen, I want to get off track. I don't want to get off track, but listen to me. One of the greatest days of my life politically, you know, outside of wedding, childbirth and personal stuff. One of the greatest days of my life.

I was working at CRTV, election night 2016. No one thought Trump was going to win. Nobody. I got into this verbal back and forth with Dan Horowitz, who's a very good friend of mine, smart guy. He insisted to me Trump was going to lose.

He'll tell you the story himself. I said, Dave, I'm telling you, I've been knocking on doors. I was running for Congress myself. I lost the primary. I said, Trump is going to win this thing. You're making a big mistake. I was on the air that night for probably four hours and see our TV when live streaming was a new thing with Michelle Malkin. Folks walk in out of that studio. We were in Washington, D.C. and looking at the despondent faces on Hillary Clinton supporters.

who made the golden rule mistake. What's the best punch in the world? The one you never see coming? They didn't see it coming.

Folks, they were walking around D.C. And you know what the moment was for me? Sorry, stupid. Can you tell me to shut up? I go back to the hotel in D.C. It was full of Hillary Clinton supporters. When I left the hotel that night to do the coverage, they had CNN on in the lobby. They had CNN, this big, massive screen. All the Hillary people were in the lobby. And I remember seeing Pete Hegseth from Fox. We were all kind of looking at each other like...

Like, we'll see what happens. I come back that night, the lobby's full of Trump supporters screaming, they've got Fox News on. And it was not a single Hillary Clinton supporter anywhere. Ladies and gentlemen, I want that feeling again. I don't know how long I have on this earth. I'm not, I'm not, I don't, I'm fine. I don't want to sound, but I don't, you don't either. I'd like to enjoy it a thousand more times, but I want to enjoy it once more. I need that. I know you need it too.

We have been through a lot in the last four years. Scamming, cheating, censorship, accounts canceled, people wiping Parler off the map, wiping Twitter accounts off the map, canceling our YouTube stations. We have been through a bad three and a half years. We all need this. We need this. If that alone isn't reason for you to get out and vote and bring 10 people, we just need this. I don't know what is.

I'm going to give you the early voting numbers in a minute. They are really, really good. Don't get cocky, but don't be stupid either. We're in a really, really good shape. All right, quick break. I'll get back to that. I'll give you, I'm trying to spread it around the country. Today, we'll go back to Arizona, North Carolina, and Nevada. Yesterday, we did New Jersey. We've covered Florida extensively. So we got some good numbers, a good sample size of swing states.

Hey, let me ask you a question. You think our country's going in the right direction? Of course not. You know you're not alone. Everybody feels like things could fall apart any minute. An emergency's always right around the corner. Folks, do what I did.

stock up on emergency food from my Patriot supply. They have a three month emergency food kit. I have one for every member of my family. I actually have multiples. I keep saying, I actually have probably two or three. I have a storage area for my house. I'm not getting caught hungry in an emergency. You saw what happened with the hurricanes, the storms. There's always a threat of an EMP. This stuff is real.

MyPatriotSupply is delicious food. Creamy stroganoff, honey wheat bread, mushroom rice pilaf. The MyPatriotSupply three-month emergency food kit offers 2,000 calories a day. Over 2,000 calories. Calories are survival in an emergency. Here's the best part. The food kit lasts up to 25 years.

Who knows what the country's going to look like if that happens. You're telling me an emergency isn't going to happen in the next 25 years? Get your emergency food today. Don't wait. Go to MyPatriotSupply.com. Order their three-month emergency food kit. MyPatriotSupply.com is the website. That's MyPatriotSupply.com. Please don't wait. All right, back to the show. Let's go first to Arizona because numbers matter.

You know, money talks and bullshit walks. Okay, here we go. Eric Daughtry, we love this guy. I'm trying to get him for election night. He's going to reach out. This guy's been a really great election analyst. I'm really enjoying his content on Twitter. He's at Eric L. Daugh, D-A-U-G-H. Breaking Arizona Republicans expand their lead to 138,000 ballots over Democrats.

755,000 Republicans to 616,000 Democrats, 455,000 other unaffiliated. Folks, that is an enormous early voting lead. And you know what I'm going to say right now, right? Ladies and gentlemen, we got to go full Kylo Ren ode to Guy. Get your lightsabers out.

More. Just keep going. Keep it up. Keep it up so Election Day they don't have the math. Do you understand? They won't have the math. They won't have the math. It won't matter. It won't matter. If they were up by 100,000 and there's only 25,000 outstanding votes, it won't matter. More. More. More. Kylo Ren style. Do it. Just do it.

Just keep showing up. Here we go. North Carolina at Michael Pruser, another good account PR USER North Carolina added 266,000 votes in the morning's report, bringing the total to an astonishing 3.37 million. 62% of the expected electorate has already voted in North Carolina for liberals. That means more than a majority. The overwhelming number of people in North Carolina, ladies and gentlemen, have already voted.

Republicans, 1.148 million. Democrats, 1.106 million. Folks, they're supposed to be beating us in early turnout. It's not happening. More, more, more kids, more. Make this electorally painful that on election day, they don't know what to do. They will start to panic. Here's the best one of all. Back to Eric Daughtry. Nevada.

He notes in all caps, this is apocalyptic for Democrats in Nevada. I love apocalyptic for Democrats. Don't know about you, but what has two thumbs and loves that shit? This guy, the GOP holds an eight point edge amongst the LPVs, lowest propensity voters.

and an 11-point edge amongst low to medium propensity voters. Why does that matter, folks? Why would we care about people who generally don't vote showing up to vote early in the state of Nevada? Because you already know...

The Democrats are praying the cannibalism theory is going to materialize. What's the cannibalism theory? That, oh, don't sweat Republicans voting early. These are the same people who would have voted on election day anyway. That's not right. That's not right. Let me read again. The GOP holds an eight-point edge.

in Nevada, amongst the lowest propensity voters, i.e. people who probably were never going to vote, who've now said, I'm tired of this Biden-Harris bullshit, and are now voting. Kind of kicks you in the jimmy if you're one of these cannibal theory people. Don't look good, man. More. Everywhere. Georgia. Everywhere. Wherever early voting is still up, more.

Show up with 10 people. I got people messaging me all day. Dan, I brought 20. Good, you get extra credit. Dan, I brought 100. Man, you get a lot of extra credit. Wish I could show up and thank you personally. I just can't travel right now with everything going on. Dan, I brought 200 people. You get a freaking gold star. Bring everyone. Text

Folks in the chat, I need a commitment right now. Let's try to bust this chat right up. Yes or no. Will you commit to me? Commit to me. Promise me because I promise you.

That you will text, email, DM, social media, call or knock on 10 doors this weekend. Friends of yours, you don't have to, you know, I'm at least 10 this weekend and ask them if they voted. Will you do that for me? I promise you I will do it. I promise you. I've already got five, six people in mind right now. I know I haven't spoken to live in my neighborhood. Yes, do it. Break that chat. Yes. Yes. Someone said, fuck yes. Okay. That's good too. Shows a lot of passion. Do it.

More, more. Just do it. Why do I want you to vote early? Why am I begging you to vote early? I know we're running out of time. Florida, I believe, is open until Saturday. Florida, big swing state, okay?

Because shenanigans are afoot, folks. No one's been covering the shenanigans like this guy, okay? Shenanigans are everywhere. I showed you yesterday in Nevada County, California, a printer issue. I showed you Ohio where they're getting in the Secretary of State's way who wants to cross-reference the citizenship status. They're suing Virginia over non-citizens on the rolls. Thankfully, they lost.

Here is the absolutely hapless moron out of Colorado, the Democrat Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold. If you're like, isn't that the moron who tried to sue to get Trump off the ballot? It's the same idiot. That's correct. Here she is yesterday trying to explain away to a local news reporter in a viral interview why her office in Colorado, which, by the way, Trump's not likely to win, but has a shot and a decent one. And we certainly have some critical elections there, right?

In Colorado, here's Jenna Griswold, Democrat loser, trying to explain away why her office leaked a bunch of election passwords and then tried to cover it up. This is glorious. Check this out. Secretary Griswold told me today that she had not decided whether to tell you, the public, about that password leak before she got called out on it publicly today.

I asked Secretary Griswold whether she takes responsibility for this election security breach in the same way that she has held others accountable. And we discussed a string of errors by her office that can damage voter confidence.

To be very clear, we do not see this as a full security threat to the state. This is not a security threat. You do frequent media interviews warning of the insider threats to elections. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security defines an insider threat as somebody who uses authorized access, wittingly or unwittingly, to do harm. Did the actions of your office pose an insider threat to elections?

No. In 2021, when Mesa County's voting system passwords leaked, your office said, quote, the public disclosure of the BIOS passwords for one or more components of Mesa County's voting system alone constitutes a serious breach of voting system security protocols.

Folks, the shenanigans, this interview goes on and it gets even more embarrassing with this imbecile out of Colorado. OK, you've got a bunch of people in left leaning states, Colorado, which used to be a red state, but is now almost fully blue. We're hoping to pull it back into the swing column with Trump. But you've got a bunch of morons like this running the election system. The opportunity for shenanigans on Election Day is everywhere.

I didn't say this in opening the show, but I should have. The Washington Post has gone full boiling bunny on me. The Washington Post is jealous of me because the Bongino Army rock in the shirt today. The Bongino Army is more powerful than them. And everybody laughs at the Washington Post because it's a bullshit communist rag paper no one actually believes. And our social media presence and our show is much larger than their audience of morons.

The Washington Post wrote another hit piece this morning about me, Joe Rogan, and Ben Shapiro.

suggesting that we've been warning people that shenanigans are afoot. I noticed the Washington Post never actually covers information like this. They never actually cover the printers running out of paper, the Ohio situation where they can't connect to a federal website, the Biden administration preventing them from doing it, the Biden administration suing Virginia. They never cover this moron, Jenner Griswold, leaking passwords. I noticed they left that out of the story because it's the Washington Post. If

If something happens on election day, if you will not have time to remedy it, folks, you won't. You get in there now and you still have a chance. You will have time. If you're planning on voting on election day anyway, fine. At this point, you do you. Show up, bring 10 people, do your thing, execute, okay? You'll probably be fine. But you may not. And that's what has me worried.

I want to show you some more stuff. This really, really bad week for the Democrats, not just in the presidential race, got worse. Great post by Western Lensman about five or six different things that broke bad for the Democrats this week that I'm telling you is causing institutional panic amongst the thought leaders on the left. Numbers, man, back it up. Say whatever the hell you want to show, but back it up.

Western Lensman, an account I really, really love. At Western Lensman, here are some U.S. election headlines as of yesterday. By the way, happy Halloween, everybody. I didn't even say that in the beginning. Shame on me. Kids love Halloween. I'm dressing up as a general in the Bongino Army today.

What do you think of my costume? If you want to buy the costume, store.bongino.com. Our proceeds go to charity for the shirts, but you can grab one of these handy dandy Bongino Army shirts. I know people love them. My daughter wore one to a Trump rally. A lot of people didn't know that was my daughter. And they were like, hey, man, I love that guy. And in one of my proudest moments, she was like, yeah, that's my dad, which was pretty awesome. Love my kids. U.S. election headlines, all of this in one day. Pennsylvania.

Trump wins in Bucks County, Pennsylvania after being forced to sue after voting lines were shut down early. Yes. Virginia Supreme Court rules in our favor, keeping non-citizens off the rolls. Yes. Secretary of State Jenna Griswold in Colorado leaks voting system passwords online. What an idiot. No. Michigan attorney Matthew DiPerno identifies singular voter IDs being used to cast multiple ballots. They were forced to remedy that.

I'll go to just a few more. An ABC TV station. Did you see this? Accidentally aired election results of Kamala Harris winning Pennsylvania by five points with 100% in. How'd that happen? How'd that happen? Another reason I'm telling you to vote on election day. That way we make the numbers mathematically impossible for them to win. Folks, it was a huge day yesterday.

We are freaking out so much. You have the garbage people at AP, absolute communist Pravda, with this headline after we took non-citizens off the ballot in Virginia in a law that's been in effect since 2006 in Virginia and signed by a Democrat governor. Yes, a Democrat governor. Did you say a Democrat governor? I did. His name was Tim Kaine. Wasn't that the guy who ran with Hillary Clinton? Yes. He signed this law? Yes.

Here's the Pravda communist garbage at AP. Supreme Court's conservative justices allow Virginia to resume its purge of voter registration. Notice how they leave out that the, quote, purge of voter registrations is for people who are illegally on the ballot, meaning against the law that non-citizens are on the voting rolls. Notice how AP leaves that out. Another reason you should hate the media. They suck.

Conservative, right. It's not just justices. It's a conservative... Exactly. Notice... You ever wonder... Right, exactly. Supreme Court's... He said it right. The headline... Supreme Court's shitty conservative justice allow Virginia's shitty Republican governor to resume its violent purge of lovely, peaceful people. I mean, folks...

This is propaganda. This is not reporting. It's why nobody trusts AP. Seven out of 10 Americans give the double-barreled middle finger to our shit media because they're garbage. They're garbage.

So just a quick red news, blue news segment again to show you how kind of right-leaning news will frame a story in an accurate manner. And the left-leaning news, this is why, you ever wonder why liberals believe dumb shit? Because they read DAP. Here's just another quick example. I'll throw this out there fast because I want to get the Korean Jean-Pierre just absolutely melting down here, sir, which was glorious. Here's the Wall Street Journal. Certainly not a MAGA paper, okay? At best, a little bit right-leaning.

But they tell the truth. The GDP numbers came out yesterday. U.S. economic growth extends solid streak. But they note...

that the growth, quote, was a slight slowdown from the second quarter's 3% rate and below economists' expectations for a 3.1% pace. So in other words, if you're reading the data yesterday and you're not a hardcore violent partisan, okay, and you're reading it as an economist, the economy's slowing down. It's not speeding up. The last quarter was 3%. It's now 2.8%, and they thought it would be 3.1%.

That's not growth. That's shrinking. Now, it's growth on some and net-net, but it's shrinking compared to the last quarter. Now go read Communist Axios. Axios making you believe like this is the greatest number we've ever seen, despite the fact it's slowing down. Here's the Axios headline from the show prep.

Economic boom keeps booming. They notice it's on a hot streak. Two pre-election snapshots. They talk about this 2.8% number. Notice how they leave out, how they leave out the key part here, that it was not really up to expectations.

Folks, the Joltz number was terrible, the job openings. The economy is not doing well, and everybody knows it. Real wages are down. The economy is not expanding fast enough to keep up with the inflation. That's just a fact. Real wages are down under Biden. Moving on. I don't want to spend—I'm showing you these people. This is an axios. They never put two and two together.

Sarah Fisher, Americans' trust in media plummets to a historic low. Gee, I wonder why. I give you the honest take. The economy expanded at 2.8%. It's shrinking from the last quarter, however, and it's not keeping up with inflation. What does Axios tell you? Boom, like this is like the Reagan era again. They're full of shit.

Folks, garbage gate is exploding too, and they don't know what to do with it. Trump is the master, master. I mean, there is no better soundbites and snapshots politician than Donald Trump. No one knows how to grab a moment.

like this, bite a collar and run with it, other than Donald Trump. Karine Jean-Pierre is on the run. She is totally incapable of running interference for the Biden-Harris White House. She was asked a question about this yesterday. And watch her try to verbal judo her way out of garbage gate. They can't do it. Remember one of the other rules, not one of the golden rules, but one of the rules...

if politics that most people throw out as one of these adages, when you're explaining your position over and over again, you're probably losing. Watch Kareem Jean-Pierre just fall flat on her face. Check this out.

does he have any regret for not being more his language was not specific it came out if you were listening to that video i was in the room i was in the room but if you were any sort of normal person listening to that video or looking at the clips online you could come to the conclusion that he was calling at minimum this one man garbage

Or not, if not all Trump supporters garbage. Does he regret not being more precise with this language? And does he also- I'm waiting for the question to end, but I keep going. I apologize. The second part of that is, does he have any regret for how this has shadowed Vice President Harris's campaign? So a couple of things there, because there's a lot that you laid out.

So, look, the President wanted to clarify because he understood that what he may have said was being -- he understood that what he was saying was being taken out of context. So he wanted to be very, very clear about what he was trying to say.

And I just read that out once over. You all have the tweet or the statement that's on X. If you want to read it right now, feel free to do so. And he was talking about hateful rhetoric. And we've called out hateful rhetoric from here. We have. Folks, this woman is an idiot. She's got her boss and his vice president.

out there responsible for calling 74 million Americans garbage on video. It's clear as day. Everybody saw it. Everybody heard it. Don't bullshit us and tell us it didn't happen. And instead of just saying, we messed up, man, we messed up, they can't do it. So what does she do? She goes on a ridiculous rant.

about how we're calling out hateful rhetoric, which only draws attention to the hateful rhetoric coming out of the Biden White House about the garbage people. The woman is completely incompetent in her job. Let me tell you something.

And I mean this. I don't think Biden drops out of the race if he had a competent press secretary. Karine Jean-Pierre has done so much damage to this White House. Republicans should send her a campaign donation if she ever decides to run. This woman is really, really bad at this and has destroyed the public face of the White House. They have no ability to counter message.

Because she's an idiot. All she says over and over is, we've been very clear. We've been very clear. We've called that hateful. She never answers a question.

And you think you're going to get any help from the media? Why do people believe stupid things? Why do liberals believe that a joke by a comedian from an insult comic at a rally five hours before Donald Trump shows up? Why do people believe on the left that this is going to cost Trump the campaign and yet the actual president calling 74 million Americans garbage?

while his vice president is running on a joy campaign, why do liberals believe that this isn't going to damage Harris, but it'll damage Trump? It's because they listen to this. Watch this side by side of Kamala Harris and of the media people talking about the garbage joke versus the garbage reality of Joe Biden. And then you'll see why liberals believe dumb shit. This is why nobody, nobody with a functioning brain trusts the media. Check this out. They're trying to make...

a firestorm out of something that, again, if you look at it, you look at what he said immediately afterward, which Donald Trump didn't say, he immediately afterwards said, no, that's not what I meant. I was talking about the comedian and people that supported that kind of talk. You know, Willie, Joe Biden obviously doesn't believe that. You know, I'm of the mindset that if you say it, you might as well just embrace it. And I do think that that's a problem for realistically...

Like, I do think if he said, listen, yeah, I do mean all those racist supporters of Donald Trump. Yeah, I do think that they're terrible. By the way, as someone who had a stutter growing up, it's very obvious to me that there is an apostrophe at the end of supporters there. He was referring to the garbage spewed by supporters, not simply the supporters themselves. Basically calling Puerto Ricans

trash, the most repulsive racial jokes about Latinos, disgusting and hateful, so incredibly crude, frankly, just too X rated to play here. Extremely viled, so-called joke. Hats up Colin Rugg for that clip. Now, if you're a liberal again, so we put actual numbers and receipts behind this. Always be like the supermarket, produce a receipt.

liberals believe that a comedian's maybe poorly timed joke at a political rally who nobody knows, nobody even knew at the Trump rally. It's not a knock. I didn't know who that guy was. I hear he's very popular. He's done insult comedy before, whatever. You were told, right, that this is the end. This is the end.

Puerto Rican voters are not going to vote for Donald Trump. And oh, my gosh, this is the end. But Joe Biden calling you garbage is no big deal. I mean, he's got like a stutter. You ever notice they always go back to the stutter thing, even though you never hear Biden actually stutter anymore. It's the weirdest thing. Florida politics. By the way, it's not some big conservative outlet poll. Donald. Wait, that's my. Did you guys edit that?

This says, see folks, I was told by the liberal media, it's over with Puerto Rican voters. It's over. That's weird because Florida politics is poll. Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris with Puerto Rican voters in, in Florida stories from yesterday. I thought we were told it was over. I thought, I thought that's what we were, we were told. And you want to hear the truth. Come here. You want a bunch of bullshit. Go watch the liberal media.

All I'm asking is that you show up, execute, and bring 10 people. Do not get cocky. Run through the tape. Bury the gas pedal. I want those RPMs at 9, 12, 15,000. I want the engine on overdrive, okay? There is no time for dicking around. Folks, they're trying. This is why, if you understand the basic political analysis, I've laid out the skeleton for you. I've given you a battle plan.

How to win these things. Contrast. Emphasize contrast with the candidates. Always. Always play up their weaknesses. Play up your strengths. Mitigate your weaknesses by leveraging opportunities. Always create contrast using a SWOT analysis. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats. Always emphasize snapshots and soundbites over white papers. I'm not telling you detailed policy analysis is important. I'm just telling you you're not convincing anyone, okay? Snapshots and soundbites.

One of the other things I'm trying to emphasize as well is that destructive political narratives you're going to have to deal with are those that change your preexisting notion of who a candidate is. Why did a joke by a comedian not hurt Donald Trump at all? Because the Puerto Rican community knows Donald Trump loves them, and it wasn't Donald Trump who said it, and the Donald Trump team immediately was like, hey, I don't know.

We have nothing to do with this. It's an it's all comic act. It was a warm-up act, I think. It did not damage him at all. Why did the garbage line from Biden hurt Kamala Harris and Joe Biden? Because they're running on a happy, happy, joy, joy campaign. They're running on the Ren and Stimpy campaign. Happy, happy, joy, joy, joy. And it's not working.

Here's a side-by-side, hat-tip CC showcast, a side-by-side of Kamala Harris pretending the campaign is about joy, but not moving in the polls because she's created a contrast herself. She says she's about joy by calling everyone Nazis and fascists. That's not joy.

That's not joy. It's why the message isn't working and it's damaging. Check this out. Donald Trump has spent a decade trying to keep the American people divided and afraid of each other. People have rightly found similar to the language of Hitler.

That is who he is. But America, I am here tonight to say that is not who we are. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. You were comparing that rally to a Nazi rally. So I know what I saw and I'll just leave it at that. Yeah. Damaging political narratives. I can't say this enough. Our only ones that change who you think a candidate is.

If you thought she was incompetent and then she never addresses why she is competent, I'm going to do X to change your misery. She's done. If you're going to run a campaign on I'm so happy and joyous you should vote for me and disregard the policy stuff, fine. Then you can't go out the next day and call everyone a threat to democracy, a fascist or a Nazi. And then have your boss, you work in the White House, call 74 million Americans garbage.

That's why this isn't working for them. You understand?

I got a couple of really good clips for you folks. Again, this show has highlighted the media a lot and how liberals and how and why liberals believe generally crazy things. The rich don't pay their fair share. School choice drains money from public schools. These are all bullshit fairy tales. Liberals tell themselves not backed up in reality. They're going to be stunned if Donald Trump pulls this out. I promise you on election night. They're going to say, how did it happen? How did it happen? How did it happen? Why does nobody trust us?

This is interesting. This is a, um, Jamil Jackson at the university of Chicago. I want you to watch this. He's got Chuck Todd. They're at some kind of like symposium there. Chuck Todd. Remember he used to be our silver medal winner in the, in the golden, uh, the media, uh, talking, uh, dopey media talking head Olympics.

Chuck Todd's a moron. Chuck Todd is at the University of Chicago, and they open the floor up to questions. Jameel Jackson just shreds this idiot on basically how dare they create some misinformation crisis on the right when the real source of misinformation is them. And watch Chuck Todd try to explain this thing away. It was only our opinion host. Bullshit. Check this out.

My question is for you, Chuck Todd. Your network NBC is now covering Elon Musk more than it does Biden and the 10 other billionaires supporting Kamala Harris. 85% of your coverage is negative against Trump, whereas 78% is positive for Kamala Harris. Your network publicly shamed Ronna McDaniel and fired her for being an election denier. Meanwhile, you guys spent hundreds of hours peddling the Russian disinformation collusion hoax.

Your network, and this is the most hard hitting one, refuses to cover the sexual assault allegations against Doug Emhoff. So how can Gen Z voters trust what your network says on either candidate given that discrepancy? Look, we just cover facts. And if we're able to uncover facts, we cover it. As for the Russian collusion, I'm not gonna sit here and defend what opinion hosts do.

That is what it is. It was an opinion host, bro. It was you. You pretend to be a journalist. That's why people laugh at you.

You covered it. What facts were you covering? The dossier had no facts in it. There was one verified fact in the entire dossier. You know what it was? Carter Page had visited Russia. That was it. Everything else was made up. It was your job as a journalist to investigate it, you fake, phony muskrat, sniveling little muskrat loser. Thank you to Jameel Jackson for calling this moron out.

That's why nobody trusts you, idiots. You did not cover facts. You covered in a ridiculous dossier with not a single fact in it of relevance. Not one of the important facts, air quotes, in the dossier ever panned out. That's what journalists do. This is why I get pissed off when you get morons at the Washington Post with their decreased relevance and 60 Minutes, the Sir Network. The Sir Network.

When the CERN network runs reports on misinformation on X and elsewhere, it is stunning that they leave out the two single greatest pieces of misinformation in American political history.

Was the Hunter Biden laptop 51 intelligence officials letter and the Russia collusion hoax that altered American history and stolen election that 60 minutes dares cover misinformation yet never mentions that it comes from them and their show, the Sir Network.

It's stunning. But this is why liberals believe stupid shit. Watch this hilariously stupid 60-minute segment where, by the way, they cite a tweet they didn't like that has a community note beneath it correcting it. The total, total face plant trying to blame misinformation on us. And Leslie Stahl, the whole Sir episode, her doing it is just like icing on the stupid cake. Check this out.

After Elon Musk took over in 2022, most of its fact-checkers were fired. Now the site is rife with trash talk and lies. Little would you know that this, said to be footage from Gaza, is really from a video game. Eventually, ex-users added a warning label.

In this post, pictures of real babies killed in Israeli strikes are falsely dismissed as dolls. The toothpaste is out of the tube, and we have to figure out how to deal with the resulting mess.

Darrell West, a senior fellow of technology innovation at the Brookings Institution, says the clash over what is true is fraying our institutions and threatening democracies around the world. Half of the world is voting this year, and the world could stick with democracy or move towards authoritarianism. The danger is disinformation could decide the elections in a number of different countries.

In the U.S., he says, the right wing has been flooding the Internet with reams of misleading information in order to confuse the public. Holy Moses, ladies and gentlemen, did you catch it? Come on, who in the chat caught it? Why did I play that clip?

Two reasons. Number one, you've got Sir doing it. Leslie Stahl, who humiliated herself in front of the entire universe, insisting Trump's campaign wasn't spied on. We have the names of the spies. She also implied the Hunter Biden laptop story couldn't be verified, even though we now know, according to whistleblowers, the FBI verified the Hunter Biden laptop in 2019.

So not only is the hapless imbecile Sir Leslie Stahl, not only is she conducting an interview on misinformation, despite being the duchess of disinformation, did you catch what else? Some of you might catch it in the chat. Who were there? Yes, Anita. Very good. She pinned it at the top. She's going to a guy from the Brookings Institute. They were knee deep in the dossier.

And the Brookings guy, without a shred of shame at all, is like, those right-wingers, man, they're really screwing up the misinformation scene. They were knee-deep in this thing. This is why liberals believe stupid shit. Here, one last one in the media. You know John Stossel? I like John a lot. I interviewed him a couple times when I had a radio show on MAO on the weekends.

John Stossel is great. I want you to watch another, this little clip from him. It's short, but it's worth your time. It's how the media not doesn't only do things explicitly, but implicitly how they try to make Republicans look bad and Democrats look better. You got to be careful with this stuff as election day closes in. Watch this. It's important. Hey,

Have you noticed how some in the media just suck up to some politicians? I'm struck just in your presence. Struck in her presence. Looking you in the eye with your passion that you are displaying. Republicans are treated differently.

If I may finish, just answer your question. Well, let me just, I'm gonna go ahead and interrupt you here. On the DOJ and the FBI, I mean, we have seen— Just on my question, though, Governor. Excuse me. Aggressive interviews are easy to notice, but some bias is more subtle. For example, What a great campaign! The media have always covered Iowa caucus victory speeches. We're going to want to listen in very, very closely. Thank you, Iowa. But this year, when Trump won, Thank you. We love you all.

CNN cut away from his speech. Here he is right now under my voice. You hear him repeating his anti-immigrant rhetoric. Actually, no, Jake, you hear him. We don't. CNN wouldn't let us actually listen to Trump and decide for ourselves. Just remember, the only reason I'm ending today's show

with these little exposés on media tricks and shenanigans, is we just have a few days left. One last time, please, ladies and gentlemen, if early voting is still open in your state, please show up and do it today, do it tomorrow, or do it Saturday. I'm begging you. I'm not shy. I'm begging you to do it. We have one shot to take our country back. It's not going to save itself. Vote early and in person. Please.

Please, I'm asking you as a friend, we've got one chance to save this thing. If you're going to show up on election day, make your plans now. Take the day off. Take an extended lunch break. Do not show up at the polls at 8 o'clock if they close at 8.30. Please don't. Please make your plans and bring 10 people. Go download a voter guide from your state, from your county. Go in there prepared, ready to go. Knock it out. Save everyone else some time, too.
