Summary

The Dan Bongino Show – Episode 2570: "A Commie Tells The Truth?"

Date: August 10, 2026
Host: Dan Bongino (with regular guest/sidekick Justin)

---

Episode Overview

This episode delivers Dan Bongino's signature combative analysis focused on how, in his view, the political left and segments of the mainstream media occasionally "slip" and tell uncomfortable truths about their intentions—specifically when it comes to government weaponization, middle-class tax hikes, anti-police rhetoric, and anti-American sentiment. The show blends sharp commentary from Bongino and Justin, live chat engagement, mockery of recent Democratic comments and media spin, and several “listen to what they said” audio clips.
Theme: Using the left’s own words to expose what Bongino claims is the true, destructive agenda of progressive politicians and media figures.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Why Bongino’s Show is “Public Enemy #1”

• [00:02–02:21] Dan opens by underscoring his show's impact and why he thinks the media and political adversaries despise him: his claim to present “just the truth,” often via their own words. He touches on the future of independent media and the importance of digital livestreaming.

  "All we do is put the truth out there and they hate it." – Dan Bongino [02:21]

---

2. Government Weaponization and the Left’s Open Admissions

• [07:13–13:37] Dan discusses recent public comments from Democratic figures (notably Hillary Clinton) allegedly admitting to plans for government personnel purges and retaliatory tactics.

  • Clinton on ‘clearing out’ Trump appointees: Hillary argues for thoroughly removing Trump officials—even those in minor bureaus—to prevent internal opposition.

    "Get rid of all the holdovers... make sure they are not going to be literally subverted from within the government." – Hillary Clinton (clip) [10:21]

  • Dan interprets this as evidence the left will use government power against ideological enemies.

---

3. Responses to Left-Wing Extremism and Antisemitism

• [13:35–21:20] Bongino highlights what he sees as the left’s alliance with radical voices (e.g., Hasan Piker, Abdul El-Sayed) and the unwillingness or inability of Democratic leaders like Debbie Wasserman Schultz or Ilhan Omar to condemn them directly.

  • Notable exchange with Wasserman Schultz: She refuses to comment on allies' antisemitic ties when pressed about Michigan’s Democratic primary victor Abdul El-Sayed and his association with Piker.

    "It's your freaking job to know." – Justin (on Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz) [15:33]

  • Ilhan Omar’s avoidance: When asked about these associations, she replies only that people have opinions about campaign alliances.

    "So she gives you a tautology and pretends it's like informed commentary." – Dan Bongino [18:22]

---

4. Celebrating Anti-Americanism: The ‘Favorite Flag’ Moments

• [21:20–23:00] Dan and Justin riff on a podcast moment where Hasan Piker, prominent left figure, names the Hezbollah flag as his favorite.

  "That's your favorite flag. You couldn't even... say, like, Sweden or Norway?" – Dan Bongino [22:31]

  • The panel’s tepid reaction and a joking remark about maybe needing to “cut this” highlight, in Bongino’s eyes, the open anti-American sentiment.

---

5. Radical Rhetoric Against Law Enforcement and Public Safety

• [25:54–29:06] Focus on comments from Democratic figures, particularly Justin Pearson and other left-leaning candidates, labeling ICE as “murderers” and advocating for defunding or even abolishing police and prisons.

  "ICE agents are separating families and communities... president has created his own murderous task force..." – Clip from Justin Pearson [26:57]

  • Dan extrapolates: If ICE are “murderers,” then “should everyone else be charged as accessories?”

  • Left-wing activist Frances Gill (DSA) admits on-air to seeking abolition of police/prisons but stumbles when asked how to address violent crime.

    "What would it be if not police? And where would [a rapist] be if not a jail?" – Interviewer
    "I really want to avoid getting kind of caught into these hypotheticals..." – Frances Gill (clip) [39:59]

  • Dan/Justin lampoon this, noting the answer is “streetlights,” underscoring what they argue is a refusal to address reality.

---

6. Open Advocacy for Middle-Class Tax Hikes to Fund Expansive Government

• [31:51–35:38] Bongino features a rare admission from Abdul El-Sayed during an interview:

  "[We’d be] paying for health care in a different way... I'd rather pay government to guarantee me health care." – Abdul El-Sayed [32:11]

  • Dan points out that, unlike insurance companies, you can’t “fire” the government if you're unhappy.

    "When your government health care sucks, you are screwed. There is nowhere to go." – Dan Bongino [33:37]

  • AI Moment: Dan uses ChatGPT to point out even Sweden is trending toward private market health care due to inefficiencies in public systems.

---

7. Education, Social Security, and Government Failure

• [58:17–60:16] Dan critiques the cost and efficacy of public education (citing $34k per student/year in NYC with low literacy rates), and the “misuse” of Social Security funds by the federal government.

  "You're paying $34,000 to send a kid to school who can't freaking read... less than half pass a basic English test." – Justin [58:52]

---

8. The Left, Media, and Personal Attacks

• [54:03–64:26] Dan rails against liberal media critics whom he claims never address his record/results, only resorting to personal attacks.

  • Specific call-outs: John Light, Margaret Brennan, Helen Lewis, and references to “the wall of zeros” he keeps for recurring media rivals.

  • Brennan, in a clip, presses back against a guest questioning mainstream COVID coverage, which Dan frames as refusal to own up to misinformation and failed pandemic policies.

    "Can you engage in a cranial rectomy and remove your head from your own ass...?" – Dan Bongino (to Margaret Brennan) [63:38]

---

9. Future of Live Streaming and Podcast Monetization

• [71:10–74:12] Dan details why live audiences will dominate political commentary, referencing Spotify’s new ad-skipping feature as a danger to traditional podcasting,

  "If you don't have a big live stream, you're eventually going to get smoked." – Dan Bongino [72:52]

  • He praises Rumble and explains the strategy of keeping his video exclusive there.

---

10. WNBA, Race, and “Telling the Truth”

• [49:01–53:16] Short foray into sports, discussing WNBA player behavior and recent controversies, with a jab at “white privilege” arguments, leading to a reiteration of the recurring theme:

  "They are proud of being stupid. I don’t know flags." – Justin [51:39]

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Opening salvo:

  "What does it look like when these goofballs tell the truth? ...And this is why they hate this show so much." – Dan Bongino [00:59]

• On Democratic admissions:

  "They are no longer running from this idea of weaponized goon government." – Dan Bongino [09:16]

• On Swedish health care:

  "Sweden's not abandoning universal tax funded health care, but it's been incorporating more market mechanisms... The main reason is fairly practical." – ChatGPT (read by Dan) [34:56]

• On government inefficiency:

  "The government's motive is to take your money and ignore you." – Dan Bongino [35:38]

---

Tone & Style

Dan Bongino maintains a high-energy, often confrontational, mocking tone toward left-wing politicians, activists, and media figures. The episode is heavy on direct quotes, sarcasm, and incredulous asides, frequently punctuated with banter from Justin. Dan celebrates his show’s community of "patriots," encourages fan interaction, and repeatedly returns to the idea that simply letting liberal figures speak for themselves damns them more effectively than any attack.

---

Summary Takeaway

This episode is an extended argument that progressive leaders and media figures are finally being candid (out of arrogance or ignorance) about their radical intentions—on government weaponization, police abolition, taxation, and what Bongino calls anti-Americanism. Dan and Justin see their mission as exposing these “truth-telling” moments, using unedited clips and direct transcripts to contest the left’s narrative, all while maintaining a defiant stance against a media and political establishment they believe is fundamentally hostile to their audience and values.

---

For listeners wanting direct confrontation with left-wing rhetoric, served with mockery and aggressive common-sense branding, this episode is pure Bongino: boisterous, combative, and focused on using “their own words” to score his points.

Transcript

[Dan Bongino]

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show, folks. What actually happens when the doomers, the grifters, the lib media, goons, competitors who just hate my guts and others. We are, we are definitely public enemy number one. A hundred percent. If there was a public enemies list for people out there, this show, what has two thumbs? Public enemies number one. This dude right here. This guy, 100%.

[Justin]

Because they hate it when you just tell the truth. No, I mean it like when you actually put their own words out there. So what does it actually look like

[Dan Bongino]

when you catch a lot of these goofball goons, losers, commies, tyrants and fascists?

[Justin]

What does it look like

[Dan Bongino]

when they tell the truth? I don't know if it's accidental or if they've come to a conclusion that

[Justin]

lying to people about things, I don't, I don't know. But I'm going to show you today. What does it look like when these

[Dan Bongino]

goofballs tell the truth? And this is why they hate this show so much. They can't stand it.

[Justin]

It drives them freaking bananas. I never seen anything like it. We got douche canoes coming out left and right with their bullshit. And it's like they cannot keep my

[Dan Bongino]

name out of their mouths.

[Justin]

They can't. They're like obsessed with this show. Little old Dan. It's weird. Like I don't even know half these people are.

[Dan Bongino]

It's because we keep kicking their ass and they just don't like it. And we were able to do things results wise. They still haven't been able to do, including a huge live stream which drives them crazy. I'll get to this at the end of the show. Why a livestream matters, you may say.

[Justin]

Like, who cares about any of that?

[Dan Bongino]

No. Ladies and gentlemen, the future of content delivery and political opinion shows like this one, the future is digital, okay? It is. There's a lot of cord cutting going on. It doesn't mean cable news is going to disappear. A lot of it's going to migrate in a digital format. How you can hold a live audience is going to matter. There's a financial reason. A lot of these big companies that run these things are businesses. They need to make money to stay alive. We need to make money to stay alive too. Not to the degree they do. We're a lean operation. Live streaming, a live audience is going to mean everything. I'll tell you why. Towards the end of the show. I'm not trying to tease it, I just. It's going to filter into this whole thing about why this show is so destructive to them.

[Justin]

All we do is put the truth

[Dan Bongino]

out there and they hate it. All right, big show for you today.

[Justin]

And making and getting your prescriptions.

[Dan Bongino]

They've been with me, gosh, I don't know, seven years now, maybe more. I love them. I needed to lose some lbs after the cancer treatment. I've been shockingly under the chemo. I'd been eating a lot of not great foods because you know, you want to eat stuff that tastes good. So.

[Justin]

So I gained a couple LBs.

[Dan Bongino]

I was about 238, wasn't looking good, didn't like it. My joints were starting to hurt. I called up Miles from Brickhouse. I said, miles, he runs Brickhouse Nutrition. You got to get me a product that's going to help me drop some LBs. I didn't lose some weight. He said, dad, I got something for you.

[Justin]

Lean.

[Dan Bongino]

L E a N L E a N. I always turned right L E a N. There you go. You can see that. There's my bottle right there. You know, it's weight loss injections. They're everywhere. You. Here's the catch. About 15% of users quit because of costs, sometimes because of side effects. A while back, I needed to drop some pounds. I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. Here's why. Weight loss shots help by controlling blood sugar and appetite so you eat less. There's no argument shots can work for many people. It's pretty clear. But lean was doctor formulated to do similar things naturally. Lean helped tackle my hunger, helped support steady energy. I love the product without constant cravings. I wound up losing well over £30 at one point. And lean did something injections don't. It helped turn my body fat into energy. So I burned fat instead of storing it. I got leaner. My joints feel better now. My favorite part, Lean is a nutritional supplement, not a shot. No prescription no needles. I lost weight. With lean. You can too. Product works. I get questions about it all the time. It is effective. Go to brickhouse nutrition.com Dan brickhouse nutrition.com Dan use promo code Dan for 20% off these statements. Products have not been evaluated by the fda. Products not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease is not a substitute alternative for care from a healthcare provider. Try out lean. Been great for my joints and everything else. While we're on topic of joints though this week, sorry bell guys. I missed the bell myself. Had a little party for Paula. Worked out great. Paula did great work. Jasmine helped us out a lot. Great party. But I woke up Saturday morning and usually I feel pretty good for an old 51 year old guy who's like a rotting sack of meat at this point.

[Interviewer]

Really?

[Dan Bongino]

Everything's broken. I haven't treated my body particularly well over the years between all the contact sports and crap, you know, you think I've made a professional career out of this, right? No. I didn't even get paid for destroying my own body. So I'm usually getting by. But I wake up Saturday morning and no it wasn't because it was like a particularly intense Friday night party. But I'm old. Like 11:30 we wrap up everybody, everybody. All my friends are old too or I don't hang out with 20 year olds, you know, so. Except one, my daughter's ex boyfriend, he's a nice guy, he joined us for the party too. They loved the parents so. But I woke up and my back was killing me. Have you ever had your back lock up anyone in the chat? I've never had this happen before now I had a spinal injury, a disc injury that was different that I actually blew a disc. But if you guys ever had you guys, they're too young. The whole crew here is like this is like these, these guys are. I don't even know if they're drinking age. Half these guys in the studio look so young. I mean I don't ask them their way. I don't even know. And I had to fill out a job application. Jasmine deals with all. I've never had my back lock up ever.

[Justin]

That's the worst thing ever. The worst freaking thing ever. You can't even move. I go to the. My doctor friend. Thank you Steve. Fight. Gives me some anti inflammatory like powerful

[Dan Bongino]

stuff and I woke up today and

[Justin]

felt better but holy Moses did that hurt. Is this just an old guy thing folks in the chat?

[Dan Bongino]

Wait, wait. Yeah, mine is locked up right now.

[Justin]

Jdog3325. Bro, I feel for you. I've never experienced this. It totally sucked. I couldn't sleep. Paula was like, are you okay?

[Dan Bongino]

I'm like, no, I'm not. I usually just lie because I don't want anyone to feel bad, especially my daughter.

[Justin]

Daddy, are you okay?

[Dan Bongino]

You don't want your daughter?

[Justin]

Oh, that'd be fun. As she said, this is me. What? Guys, if I had video of me

[Dan Bongino]

walking down the stairs, here's what.

[Justin]

She's like, dad, do you need help? No, Amelia, I'm okay, I'm okay. She's like, why is it taking you 10 seconds per step? I've really felt horrible. Give me this anti inflammatory.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm ready to go. I promise. I feel good today. I told you guys I'd never do a show feeling like shit. Because if I do, then you, you

[Justin]

know, I don't want people to feel bad.

[Dan Bongino]

And I feel like, oh my gosh.

[Justin]

And I feel great. It was the most amazing thing. Look, moving around.

[Dan Bongino]

Hey, get back in the ring with Tyson. So there we go. We need the weekend update. I don't do those a lot. Okay. You know, personal life, who gives a shit, right? But it was kind of funny, folks. I'm asked a lot about my experience working in government and having gone back work for the Trump administration for the first year, I'm often asked, you know, hey, I heard you. I get this question a lot. We get it on dms, we get it on email.

[Justin]

People say, hey, I listened to you

[Dan Bongino]

on your podcast with Sean Hannity. It's still up there. You can check it out. Hang out with Sean Hannity. He has a podcast. It's new, it's doing very well. And the show got something like a million 100,000 views, which was a lot, you know, for, for a show. I mean, it was a pretty new show. But I was glad because Sean and I really, you know, went at it for two hours. I don't mean, I mean, like we asked all the stuff you'd wanted to know about. Sean asked. So in that episode, he asked me, you know, like something to the effect of, you know, what, what really keeps you up at night or things like that. And you know, I always say, well, not much keeps me, I sleep okay, but what am I worried about?

[Justin]

You know, one of the things I'm

[Dan Bongino]

worried about is there is. If you think the weaponization of government was bad pre Trump 47 presidency and during Trump 45 presidency, folks, the Democrats have now given up any pretense of pretending they care about, you know, good, decent, limited government. They don't.

[Justin]

They are going to use the government

[Dan Bongino]

for every bad thing possible going forward.

[Justin]

And, folks, you can fire as many

[Dan Bongino]

people as you want. And believe me, we put up a lot of guardrails and did. 10% of the entire workforce at the FBI basically was terminated or left because they didn't like what we were doing there. You can look that up yourself again, I'm a results guy, not a bullshit guy like the zeros who pretend to be my critics. However, when a new government comes in in the executive branch, a presidential election,

[Justin]

folks, they can hire other people and

[Dan Bongino]

they're not lying anymore.

[Justin]

This is why I opened up the

[Dan Bongino]

show and said, what happens when commies tell the truth? Queue up that Hillary Clinton video. I want to show you what I mean. They are no longer running from this idea of weaponized goon government. The whole Communist Party model of using government to imprison and torture your enemies. Basically, when Sean asked me, like, what keeps you up at night? I was like, you know what?

[Justin]

The idea that they are going to try to put every single Trump administration

[Dan Bongino]

official they can in prison. For what?

[Justin]

For just being Trump administration officials.

[Dan Bongino]

Not because there's any violation of law. They can't do that.

[Justin]

They've already tried it. What are you talking about? They've already done it. What do you mean?

[Dan Bongino]

Here's Hillary Clinton sending a message with that hapless, worthless host, Kara Swisher. Another idiot. Here she is on the show talking about how, hey, man, we're just going to hunt everyone down.

[Justin]

I knew that.

[Dan Bongino]

I went in and he did my thing. You do it anyway. It's worth it for me. But we will all be hunted down, I promise you. Every single one of us, because that's

[Justin]

what they believe in and they're not hiding it.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Political Commentator]

Clean up, fix things. You know, there's gonna be so much to fix. I mean, first, you know, get rid of all of the holdovers. Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere who can literally subvert your program and you don't even know that person's there. And I will predict that, you know, Trump and his minions are going to try to, you know, put people. They're going to try to move people from political appointments to so called civil service appointments, although they're trying to destroy the civil service. So people are going to have to be really searching to make sure that they are not going to be literally subverted from within the government from.

[Dan Bongino]

That's a really good point. That's a really good point.

[Justin]

This is like, I can't with these people. This swisher who's like the biggest big

[Dan Bongino]

government loon ever, along with her big government loon partner on this podcast, Hillary

[Justin]

Clinton, they'd love to tell you, like,

[Dan Bongino]

governments is forced for good in your life. It's so benevolent. And it's like a bunch of like, you ever see the play Annie growing up?

[Justin]

It's like Daddy Warbucks. Oh, look, in the end, he's just trying to take care of any or whatever despite being a little bit of a hard ass. Like, that's their thing. And then they just tell you the truth. And notice what Hillary Clinton says. Just in case you're confused, they're not

[Dan Bongino]

just talking about principals, deputies, assistant directors in the Trump administration.

[Justin]

Notice what she says.

[Dan Bongino]

We need to look in those small offices there.

[Justin]

Just to be clear, you're going to have some guy in like the Bureau of Indian affairs who is a Trump appointee for, I don't know, like the administrative assistant in charge of like, window washing, and that dude's going to find himself out of a job. Has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that they were appointed by Trump. This is, these are the people who want you to believe that government is this force of.

[Dan Bongino]

It's this positive, benevolent force.

[Justin]

It's your big Daddy Warbucks in life. It's going to take care. It's going to hug you like Fat Barney. Sharing is kept. Fat Barney stuff. That's not what it is. It's Fat Barney grabbing you like, shanking you like with a prison shank. Like, that's what they do, folks.

[Dan Bongino]

Again, they hate this show so much because I flip off the D bags all the time and expose them.

[Justin]

People try to come after we bury them every time. The media people are people.

[Dan Bongino]

And the goons on the progressive left haters.

[Justin]

Because I just use their own words every time, do we not? When I wrote the book Spygate and

[Dan Bongino]

Follow the Money about the Russia hoax,

[Justin]

I cited left wing sources in the footnotes who had written and bragged about

[Dan Bongino]

their targeting of President Trump.

[Justin]

That's why they hate this show. I'm not telling you. Others don't do it. But nobody uses the clips of them

[Dan Bongino]

speaking like we nobody.

[Justin]

Here's another one. So just to be clear, like, Trump

[Dan Bongino]

fires people, the Trump administration, for incompetence and for allowing their political beliefs to infiltrate into their work.

[Justin]

But he doesn't fire people for their political beliefs. Trump didn't come into office and demand,

[Dan Bongino]

like, you know right away that everybody be fired who didn't agree with him 100%.

[Justin]

That's not what happened.

[Dan Bongino]

But they want to do that.

[Justin]

And then when we're asked really inconvenient

[Dan Bongino]

questions about some other people they're running with who tell the truth. Hasan Piker. Right? You see the Republicans pounce thing guys about Hasan Piker.

[Justin]

Now they don't want to talk Hasan Piker. Like the left is openly campaigning with this guy. In other words, they're saying our Democrat brand wants to associate with this freaking douche canoe Piker, right? This guy is a complete life loser

[Dan Bongino]

and a zero and a fraud.

[Justin]

He's a pretty rich dude too. Talking about how evil rich people are. So whenever they're asked inconvenient questions like hey, this guy's hijacking your brand. Running with candidates while saying crazy shit

[Dan Bongino]

about bathing streets and blood deserving 9 11.

[Justin]

Like maybe you should detach him from your brand. This is the answer you get from

[Dan Bongino]

party elders and leaders. Here's a Hillary Clinton acolyte, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman. Worthless.

[Justin]

Here she is.

[Dan Bongino]

She doesn't know. She doesn't know.

[Justin]

Watch the way they duck inconvenient questions

[Dan Bongino]

when confronted with the truth instead of just taking it head on and growing some balls. Check this out. Now that he is the nominee and now that he will be the focus nationally, I think for Republicans, what, what do you want to hear from Abdul said heading into November? I honestly am not thinking about what I want to hear from Abdul. I say because I represent a congressional district in Florida.

[Justin]

The guys running with Hasan Piker like they appear together, dude, they had a pool party like a couple days before the primary when Abdul El sayed a fascist communist nut job who just won the Democrat primary for the United States Senate in Michigan. What does that have to do with me, Dan? It has to do with everything. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is Jewish. She represents a huge Jewish population. This guy. These guys are open anti Semites.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh I don't know.

[Justin]

It's your job to know, bro. It's your job to know.

[Dan Bongino]

Where does Debbie Wasserman Schultz were? Justin's like the House of Representatives.

[Justin]

Representing who?

[Interviewer]

You.

[Justin]

It's her freaking job to know. Folks, when you hear people on cable news and elsewhere, these liberal commentators duck the question.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm just running on my own district.

[Justin]

Really? Because you'll comment on anything else outside of your district. You'll comment on a Republican congressman in East Tuna Fish if he says something you don't like but you won't Comment on running with open anti Semites in a Jewish district. Like, well, why would you not? I don't understand why you wouldn't do that.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's Ilhan Omar. I mean the, you know, the brother and all that whole thing. When we say bro with Ilhan Omar it means something different, you know, bro. It's not B R U h, this is like bro. Like would you look it up if you missed it? Ilhan Omar has asked this same question.

[Justin]

The difference is why I titled the show this.

[Dan Bongino]

Sometimes the commies and the fascists and the Jew haters and evangelical haters and Protestant haters, cuz they're all in the same bucket, destroy you.

[Justin]

Sometimes they actually tell the truth.

[Dan Bongino]

She's asked the question about piker El Sayed. This whole thing like this flourishing anti Semitism is easy, crazy suicidal nonsense going on in their party. The difference is Omar actually tells the truth.

[Justin]

She's too stupid not to.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Interviewer]

The left wing streamer Hasan Piker, he's someone that you've campaigned alongside with. He put out a video backing your reelection today. There are moderate Democrats who have criticized Abdul El Sayed for appearing on the campaign trail with him. What's your view of that criticism? I mean people, you know, in a free country people can have opinions about people who campaign with candidates. I certainly had my own criticisms. And so everybody's trying to do the best that they can to try to get their message out and campaign with whoever that they think can help them do that. Sometimes not everybody's going to agree, the kind of messaging that you use, but it's ultimately the decisions that campaigns have to make.

[Justin]

Yes.

[Dan Bongino]

By the way, we, obviously there's a jump cut in there. It's. The context is the same. It's just in the interest of time, no deception intended. We, we're always candid about that.

[Justin]

Yes, everybody has an opinion.

[Dan Bongino]

Just a newsflash. Human beings have opinions.

[Justin]

So she gives you a tautology and

[Dan Bongino]

pretends it's like informed commentary.

[Justin]

We know everybody has opinions. We get that. Why are you saying something that's tautologically true? That's not breaking news.

[Dan Bongino]

Like when people say like the youth are out tomorrow.

[Justin]

Yes, yes, we get that. That's not some profound breaking news insight. We're asking you for your opinion about a guy who is running with candidates from your party. She's not running as an independent. Correct. Ilhan Omar is a Democrat. You are running under a party brand, like a clubhouse. That brand has values. That's why people vote for it. You, you don't have to like the values.

[Dan Bongino]

Just like Democrats don't have to like Republican values. Republicans don't have to like Democrat values. And even Democrats can object to Republican values.

[Justin]

We objected to the Republican Party becoming like Democrats and had the Tea Party revolution. We're asking you for your opinion, bro, if you get what I mean. You're in the House of representatives representing between 7 and 800,000 people in your state. We're asking you for your opinion because people have to vote for you every year. We'd like to know how you feel about running with openly anti semitic people who think we deserve 9 11. Pretty fair freaking question when you're voting on national security issues.

[Dan Bongino]

Did we all deserve to die on 911 there?

[Justin]

Did we? Fair question, right?

[Dan Bongino]

What about this opinion? I found this little gem. There's a ton of Hasan Piker. I know, libs, but Republicans pounce. I get you don't want to talk about it. Liberal media people.

[Justin]

That's why you hate this show so much. Because we don't stop.

[Dan Bongino]

And we have a huge livestream that

[Justin]

gets this message out while you idiots

[Dan Bongino]

try to sweep it under the rug.

[Justin]

We're not doing that here.

[Dan Bongino]

I found this gem by Piker too.

[Justin]

He's asked, like, about his favorite flag.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't know about you, Jess. I have a favorite flag. You might have heard the American. Yeah, yeah. It's in the. Right behind it.

[Justin]

It's not.

[Dan Bongino]

Not a hard answer. What's your favorite flag in the. Just put your favorite flag in the chat, folks. We'd love to see it. I know where this is going because I know who you are. Why is that my favorite flag? Because I don't care about the fabric. There we go. Look at that chat. You're damn right I don't care about the fabric. I don't care if it's made from a tablecloth. I care about what that flag represents. I care about all of our forefathers and ancestors who had a vision. Look at that. Tear it up in that chat. You're damn right. Nobody moves a chat like that except you. You, not me. I can only post one here, I'll do it now. I'll post one. I'll put. Justin, throw an American flag in the chat. The only reason I didn't put is the emoji thing. I gotta. There you go.

[Justin]

Keep it up, keep it up. Pretty simple, right?

[Dan Bongino]

Your favorite flag, America, because it's the greatest country on earth. Not free of sin, but we have always, always moved in a better direction and sacrifice blood to make sure this was the freest place on earth.

[Justin]

They asked Hassan Piker the same.

[Dan Bongino]

He's gotten very wealthy off the American freedom model.

[Justin]

Very wealthy, but doesn't want that success for you.

[Dan Bongino]

His answer is really interesting about his favorite flag. Check this out.

[Abdul El-Sayed]

Let's talk about our favorite flags.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh, like overall, what? My favorite flag?

[Sean Farish]

Yeah.

[Dan Bongino]

Hezbollah. Look it up. Oh, I'm not even kidding. It's actually a dope flag. I don't know flags. It's. This is a.

[Sean Farish]

You know what?

[Dan Bongino]

I'm going to be brave. My favorite flag, it's got an AK on it and a fucking hand holding it up. Wow, son.

[Political Commentator]

Or.

[Public Health Expert]

Or.

[Dan Bongino]

Or we might have to cut this. We're behind the paywall.

[Interviewer]

It's fine.

[Dan Bongino]

Josh is giving me the folks.

[Justin]

That's why.

[Dan Bongino]

Title to show today, Josh, is it making sense now?

[Justin]

Sometimes they accidentally tell you the truth. Sometimes they tell you the truth. Hizblah, you mean the terror group responsible

[Dan Bongino]

or associated with the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Many Americans in there. That.

[Justin]

That group. That's your favorite flag. You. You couldn't even. Bro, you couldn't even say, like, Sweden or Norway. Like, just say something like crazy, but just. It's not America, but it's no Hezbollah.

[Dan Bongino]

What's that?

[Justin]

Japan? Yeah. Japan's got a pretty cool flag. Like, at least. But you know, if you're going to be an anti American asshole, like, there are levels of stupid answers, right? Like a level 10 stupid answer is like, yeah, the terror group that kills America. They tell the truth. And did you notice something? 1. The other lady on the panel, she takes the Debbie Wasserman Schultz approach.

[Dan Bongino]

Did you see it? She goes, yeah, I don't know flags.

[Justin]

Do you know, Hezbollah, you probably shouldn't be doing a podcast with a political

[Dan Bongino]

commentator if you don't know what his

[Justin]

bala is just saying there's throwing that out there. And then the other guy goes, we may have to cut this. Why would you say. I understand why you would say that. Why would you have to cut it if it wasn't effing crazy

[Political Commentator]

folks.

[Dan Bongino]

Sometimes they tell you the truth again. That's why they hate us and they hate you. That chat thing you just did with the American flag, they can't do that. They don't have the listeners. They don't have the loyalty to this republic. And they don't understand a lot of these media outlets, competitors and others who relentlessly, like, just obsess over everything we do here. They don't understand the difference between followers and a Base. A lot of people have followers, but they don't have a base of people who aren't going anywhere. We do. But the reason we do is we all in this, in this family we've created here, we share a set of values and loving this country is number one. You know, we joke about things like don't get dead and all that stuff, but the number one requirement to be part of this family is you got to love this country and believe in it and be willing to fight for it and make it better. These people on the left hate it, folks. So do the Doomers. So do the Grifters. So do the Zeros. Nobody hates them more, however, than the liberal media. The liberal media hates everything about this place. Sometimes they tell the truth, too.

[Justin]

You guys know dancing?

[Dan Bongino]

Justin, Like Justin dance? No, no, not this Justin. This Justin Pearson guy running for. Is he running for Congress in Tennessee?

[Justin]

This guy? That's him.

[Dan Bongino]

That's actually him. It's quite a dance right there.

[Justin]

Be careful. That's going to hurt your knees, especially

[Dan Bongino]

in those leather soled shoes.

[Justin]

Justin, I'm just trying to help you out.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm just trying to does it. Do you think. You think I don't know? Justin. The real Justin thinks they're pleather. I have no idea. I can't ask him for a DNA analysis of the shoes, but he's got

[Justin]

to be really care.

[Dan Bongino]

He's going to blow out his knees doing it.

[Justin]

There's dancing.

[Dan Bongino]

Justin Pearson. He's running for Congress in Tennessee.

[Justin]

Another guy.

[Dan Bongino]

By the way, we have to include Andy. You're good at this. You know our voices. Our voices of Dems, how they always change their voices. Kamala Harris.

[Justin]

Yes, Justin Pearson does. Can we include him?

[Dan Bongino]

Can you do one of this?

[Justin]

Justin Pearson's done this too.

[Dan Bongino]

I promise you'll find it. This guy's another one that changes. I love when they change the way they talk.

[Justin]

Listen, the one thing about this show

[Dan Bongino]

is I find it Justin. Real Justin, wouldn't you agree?

[Justin]

I find it difficult to change the way I talk.

[Dan Bongino]

And that's why the cursing comes out to me.

[Justin]

The queens.

[Dan Bongino]

I can't get it out of me. I'm sorry. Sometimes I drop it. I shouldn't say this, but even at the FBI, like I drop an F bomb in a meeting when I was getting heated and I'd see some people, like, look like I'm not telling you

[Justin]

it's a good thing. Some people would, like, recoil in horror.

[Dan Bongino]

It's just I don't change the way I talk. I'm just. I'm trying. I'm for the.

[Justin]

But here's dance and Justin again. He's asked the question about ice and notice how he characterizes ICE as murderer.

[Dan Bongino]

Murderers. Murderers.

[Justin]

He goes again. Of all the answers 1 to 10, 10 being the dumbest. He goes right there. He doesn't say hey, I have some trouble with use of force situations of

[Dan Bongino]

federal law enforcement and ice.

[Justin]

I think the government should provide more oversight. He couldn't have said something less insane. He goes right to like Hezbollah flag piker level like that. They're murderers. Listen, we just use their own words.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Justin]

In the wake of just the reality

[Dan Bongino]

that the President has created his own murderous task force in our city that's

[Abdul El-Sayed]

killed four black men.

[Dan Bongino]

The ICE agents are separating families and communities. And people do not want to live in a country where everything is to the benefit of those at the top. And everything else hurts the rest of

[Abdul El-Sayed]

us working class people.

[Justin]

Again in this guy's brain he's got a portfolio of answer one through ten. One being the least insane. They go right to ten.

[Dan Bongino]

Because sometimes the commies actually the truth when they're not dancing.

[Justin]

He dances. But he wasn't dancing on yeah, they're murders.

[Dan Bongino]

Meaning what?

[Justin]

No, no, meaning what to the leftists

[Dan Bongino]

and lib media goons who listen to the show.

[Justin]

What does that mean?

[Dan Bongino]

Because murder Justin's a crime, correct? Homicide.

[Justin]

Right.

[Dan Bongino]

So if they're murderers, meaning what, they

[Justin]

would have to be prosecuted and thrown in jail. Correct? That's

[Dan Bongino]

if ICE are all the murders.

[Justin]

And does that mean the partner is an accessory to murder should be put in jail too? And should everybody else be charged with like obstructing the investigation into the murders? I'm just asking where this goes when

[Dan Bongino]

you accidentally tell the truth. But that's a great question. What if there was no jail? It's almost like you know there's a clip coming up later.

[Justin]

But how do you know that?

[Dan Bongino]

How do you know that? It's crazy. The real Jess. Cuz he's not dancing, he's actually doing the show. I don't get flags. You gotta keep that. If you're ever wondering how we find crazy shit that becomes like a P1 element that if you're not at the show that day when it happens like that just happened, it'll never make sense later if you're a P1, you get all of this stuff how the festa drink or whatever the hell it is back there. Get in the show. You had to have been there. Because I can't repeat it again. It was like when Rush did that thing that time about real. Linda, you had to catch it the first time. He didn't explain it over and over. He just kept saying real. He assumed you do. Now you know. I don't know flags. I know.

[Justin]

I love this show and you too.

[Dan Bongino]

There's nothing I love more. All right, quick break and I want to show you. Coming up next, this is my favorite clip. This is actually what inspired me to title the show this. Al said, the commie in Islamophanatic up and running in Michigan for the U.S. senate. He was asked a question by Kirsten Welker. And I was watching this. I swear to you. Kirsten Welker is another liberal over at NBC. I swear I expected him to do the Justin dance because nobody ever answers his question. Honestly. If you missed this clip, this should be a ideological break. Last moment. For moderate Democrats. I'm the lefties. You love this stuff. For moderate Democrats. I'll show you what I mean. Coming up in a second. I'm serious. This is an important clip. He tell the truth. I couldn't believe it. I was like sitting there stunned. Oh my gosh. He didn't dance. Hey, let me tell you something.

I'm going to tell you something. I haven't seen a guy, a mainstream political figure, and I don't mean mainstream in ideology, I mean mainstream in position. In other words, a guy was running for dogcatcher may have said this, but someone running as a U.S. senate nominee for the Democrats. I haven't seen someone answer a question about hiking middle class taxes like this since I was 10. And Walter Mondale was running for the Democrats and got blown out. Usually when they're asked about paying for things, the Democrats.

[Justin]

Oh, the rich, the rich, the rich, whatever.

[Dan Bongino]

Not this one. Watch this clip. This is what inspired me to title the show this. I can't believe he told the truth. Check this out.

[Political Commentator]

Very clear. You're describing this trade off. You are effectively acknowledging that people making

[Interviewer]

less than a million dollars could see their taxes. I just want to be very clear, is that a yes?

[Abdul El-Sayed]

I'm saying that we'd be paying for health care in a different way. Instead of paying a health insurance company whose CEO makes $20 million, I would much rather pay for durable health care into a government which of course we all know provides health care for seniors who need health care the most. So if I'm trading paying a CEO to make more money or paying government to guarantee me health care, I'm picking the ladder every time.

[Justin]

Holy Moses. He told the truth. He told. Finally folks, Al said. Here's my

[Dan Bongino]

non professional diagnosis of El Sayed. El Sayed is an egomaniac. No, that he is. This guy is an egomaniac.

[Justin]

He really believes like he can say crazy shit. And through the power of his unbelievable Persona and charisma, he'll get you to

[Dan Bongino]

forget what he just said.

[Justin]

He's finally telling the truth. That the reason government health care doesn't work is because number one, the government

[Dan Bongino]

doesn't give a shit about your health care.

[Justin]

Well, either do the insurance companies, folks. Fair enough.

[Dan Bongino]

There's a third party principal agent issue with governments and insurance companies.

[Justin]

The difference here, the difference is you can trade your insurance company for a new one when they do things that suck.

[Dan Bongino]

And it happens.

[Justin]

The difference here is if you're a

[Dan Bongino]

shareholder of an insurance company that's doing shitty things and your product is terrible,

[Justin]

you can move to have the CEO removed. None of that happens in the government. When your health insurance. This is the hard answer every Republican should give one. When your government health care sucks, you are screwed. There is nowhere to go. You can't swap your government for like another government. Well, we're going to swap the US government for Sweden. It doesn't work that way. You are F'd. That's why people in government health care typically hate it. Or even if they say they don't

[Dan Bongino]

hate it, they act like they hate it.

[Justin]

Tens of thousands of Canadians pay ridiculous taxes for government health care and then cross the border to pay for it again in the United States in their health care tourism. People in the UK die all the time on waiting lists. Oh, Dan. But it's great in Sweden. Is it?

[Dan Bongino]

Let's go to ChatGPT. I don't know folks. We like to incorporate AI into the show because AI is supposed to be some unbiased superintelligence, correct?

[Justin]

So ChatGPT is not some conservative, you know, leaning outlet. I just put this in there.

[Dan Bongino]

Why is Sweden moving towards and you could put the same question if you think I made up the answer or something.

[Justin]

Why is Sweden moving towards a more

[Dan Bongino]

free market health care system?

[Justin]

Here's the answer.

[Dan Bongino]

Sweden's not abandoning universal tax funded health care, but it's been incorporating more market mechanisms, private providers, patient choice, competition and

[Justin]

payment following the patient. The main reason is fairly practical.

[Dan Bongino]

Sweden struggled with waiting times, access, continuity

[Justin]

of care and efficiency despite spending heavily on health care. Then it goes over the long waits.

[Dan Bongino]

All of the problems they have.

[Justin]

You can look this up yourself, you don't have to ask me. You got ChatGPT, Anthropic, you got Google, Gemini, you've got Grok, which we really love. Elon's platform. You've got so many. You can try it yourself. You can try an open source model and ask the same question.

[Dan Bongino]

Even the companies, excuse me, the countries

[Justin]

you claim to love, Sweden, Norway, are finding that government paying for health care doesn't work because government bureaucrats don't give a shit shit about your health care. They don't even want to be in their own health care system. The congressional members and the Senate members remember they didn't even want obamacare for themselves. Obamacare ran on if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. I don't. Wait, I thought they hated insurance companies. Obama ran on that. If you like your insurance plan, which many people did, you could keep it. And then they got their insurance canceled. Canceled. People were pissed. Why would they be pissed? I thought you wanted to be on government health care. You can fire the CEO, you can fire your insurance company. I'm not telling you it's easy that insurance companies always do the. Of course there's a profit motive, but you act like the government's full of angels. The government has no motive for anything. The government's motive is to take your money and ignore you. It's what they do on everything. They took your money for Social Security and spent it. That's why there's no money left. People hate when I say that. Wait till tomorrow's show when I show you an article by the Washington Post. Hates my guts.

[Dan Bongino]

Not all of them, but a lot of them.

[Justin]

The Washington Post is now acknowledging what I've been telling you for years.

[Dan Bongino]

You guys all right? Like a SWAT team leaving the studio. Come out like Andy came out like

[Justin]

tactical, like, like this.

[Dan Bongino]

I mean, what's going on here?

[Justin]

Even the Washington Post is now telling you what I told you. The government stole your money for Social Security but made a bunch of promises and then pissed it down a toilet bowl. People tell me all the time, I

[Dan Bongino]

paid in, I deserve it. Correct?

[Justin]

I'm not. No one's point stipulate you. We both win because you're correct, you did pay in and you do deserve your money back. That doesn't absolve me of telling you the truth that the government wasted it. There's no money there. Even the Washington Post is trying to warn people. I'm just trying to help you by telling you the hard truth.

[Dan Bongino]

Folks. The commies are. They're at the doorstep. The break glass moment is here. This is the clip. Non dance and Justin, the real Justin was talking about before.

[Justin]

What are you going to do with all these people?

[Dan Bongino]

All these government, all these Trump 47 officials you want to put in jail? ICE murderers, air quotes you want to put in jail? All these health care employees they want

[Justin]

to put in jail. Justin, where are they all going to go? You want to see the stupidity? That was a good point.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm glad you brought that up because it wasn't even in the show making that connection. But he's right.

[Justin]

You want to see the stupidity of

[Dan Bongino]

the commie fascist socialists and their doomer buddies trying to destroy the United States?

[Justin]

They always say shit when they tell the truth.

[Dan Bongino]

That makes absolutely no sense. Here's oh, is this Francis Gill, one of these national Democrat socialists?

[Justin]

The Democrats are begging these people to

[Dan Bongino]

stay off the news.

[Justin]

She's asked a simple question, like the news reporter who's not doesn't seem like

[Dan Bongino]

some big conservative dude either.

[Justin]

He's like, hey man, you know if

[Dan Bongino]

my daughter like got raped or something,

[Justin]

God forbid, like who shows up? The social worker, you know, Because I really like that person who did that

[Dan Bongino]

to be put in jail.

[Justin]

Pretty common sense. Right. What jails are you going to put these Trump administration people into? Rapists are though, if you don't believe

[Dan Bongino]

in jails, sometimes they tell the truth. Check this out.

[Interviewer]

DSA takes. Let's talk about some of them. Your policy agenda on law enforcement is to defund police ultimately to get rid of police departments, correct?

Well, what I would say is that we're dramatically overspending on police right now.

I understand, but the goal is to defund the police department so we don't need them in the future.

I think it's what we really want to see is a horizon where folks are not reliant on armed enforcement to meet our public safety needs.

Right, but it says defund police on the website. That's your goal and also to get rid of prisons and jails, correct?

Yes.

So if my, my daughter is assaulted and raped, is there any agency that would seek to find her assailant and, and bring him to justice?

Of course. Yeah, of course.

What would it be if not police? And where would he be if not a jail?

So I guess I really want to avoid getting kind of caught into these hypotheticals and talk more about the reality that we're actually facing right now, which is that we're spending absolutely outrageous amounts of money on police and policing and we're not spending money on things that actually make people safe and feel safe, which is things like actually well lit streets, the streetlights in Los Angeles. Every. Everybody agrees it's a huge problem.

[Justin]

Oh my gosh.

[Dan Bongino]

This is not funny. I have to.

[Justin]

Why?

[Dan Bongino]

Because I, I can't. I can't help it. It's. I told you, I don't like giving blood.

[Interviewer]

I don't know flags.

[Justin]

I don't know flags.

[Dan Bongino]

Play it again, please. I love this. This is like my new I don't know flags. Whenever I go to give Jasmine's life, I can't give blood. I hate it. I hate it.

[Justin]

I don't know what it is.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't care about anything else. I can't. So I start to laugh because it's an uncomfortable thing.

[Justin]

You're going to pass.

[Dan Bongino]

I never pass argument, but I have to.

[Justin]

It's the only response I have to this stupidity. Whenever you ask one of these socialist,

[Dan Bongino]

fascist, Islamo Nazis or any of these a holes running for major positions, Senate, Congress. The DSA wants to take over the Democrat platform.

[Justin]

A basic simple question about a solution to a problem. You stated law enforcement's no good. Okay, what's your. Ever see Tommy Boy? That movie with Christopher? What's your Theory. Okay, what's your theory? Streetlights. What the.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm sorry. Language alert. Guys, Jasmine saw a scene this weekend at the park. Jasmine?

[Justin]

Did you not?

[Dan Bongino]

Jasmine, she. Jasmine's great. You know what I love about Jasmine? She's like, I don't see nothing. She saw a scene at the party.

[Justin]

The Queens came out. Me.

[Dan Bongino]

It happens.

[Justin]

What the fuck? My daughter is raped. The ladies talking about street lights. The guy's like, what happens if my daughter's rape?

[Dan Bongino]

I think we should put more street lights.

[Political Commentator]

What?

[Justin]

I don't know. Flag, this is. Remember that tweet we put up on last week's show?

[Dan Bongino]

Was it from Stephen Moore?

[Justin]

Whatever it was. That you pay more in taxes to

[Dan Bongino]

support government at the federal, state, and

[Justin]

local level than you do for anything else in your life. Food, rent. Your biggest expense in your life is taxes. So God forbid a family member of yours is tragically raped. I'm only going by the question. And the answer of the socialist is I think we should invest in LED bulbs and street lights. What the.

[Dan Bongino]

I can't.

[Justin]

And then notice the distraction she gives

[Dan Bongino]

the Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

[Justin]

I'd rather not talk about that. I'm sure you wouldn't. I'm sure you would. When you're asked an actual question. About what, Tommy Boy? Like, what's your theory, Andy?

[Dan Bongino]

You got to pull that. That's like. There's a scene in Tommy Boy where Chris Farley's like. I've mentioned it a thousand times. I don't think very.

[Justin]

What's your theory? This is the. They don't have a theory. Their theory is take your money and use it and shove it up your. That's it. They want your money to enrich themselves, enrich their government buddies and control your life. That's it. There's no theory to the young kids out there falling for this.

[Dan Bongino]

I love you.

[Justin]

You're welcome. I'm not mad at you. You've been indoctrinated into this crap your whole life. I'm just telling you, like, there is no theory there. They prove it to you? I don't know.

[Dan Bongino]

Flags.

[Justin]

That's their theory. That's it. Thank you, guys. If you're missing the rumble, live stream,

[Dan Bongino]

you got to get in a scarecrow police light.

[Justin]

That's what they want,

[Dan Bongino]

folks. We only have to use their own words.

[Justin]

That's it. We only have to use their own words.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's a devastating ad against El Sayed. Why am I playing? I'm not going to play the whole thing. We have to jump Cutter it's like two minutes. You don't need to see the whole thing. You. You've already seen half this guy's crazy shit in Michigan.

[Justin]

Why am I playing this again? I'm only telling you what they're already trying to tell you. We want to take more of your tax money.

[Dan Bongino]

Dramatically more middle class folks and everyone

[Justin]

to steal your health care plan. They told you they could keep. Obama ran on that. If you like your plan, you could keep it. That's like their messiah. Small G God, Elsa, you'd say, no, you can't keep it. We're going to tax you more to steal your insurance plan. All you have to do is play their own words. I don't know flags. Just play their own words, bro. Ilhan Omar.

[Dan Bongino]

Just play the wrong words. This is a pretty devastating ad drop they put out. This is good stuff because it's only him talking about stupid shit. Check this out.

[Abdul El-Sayed]

I believe that we do need to defund the police. I actually believe in correfo. Right. In Supreme Court reform, every president should get three appointments. You can either use your appointment to give somebody who's on the court a second 10 year term and limit everybody's terms to 10 years, or you can include somebody else. Would that expand the court? Sure. But there's nothing in the Constitution that says there have to be nine justices and like the things that I actually look at on Instagram.

[Political Commentator]

Right.

[Abdul El-Sayed]

Of course, we get served that on your for you page. But then like every third video that

[Dan Bongino]

scrolls on its own is going to

[Abdul El-Sayed]

be some onlyfans model. I think that the foundational issue here is we need to start taxing billionaire wealth. Right. And when you tax billionaire wealth, you disincentivize the accumulation of wealth. If you cannot stand for trans rights, do not be surprised when they come for your rights. I look forward to pushing forward legislation that would preempt localities from participating with ice. We've also got to make sure that in this state we are not discriminating by documentation status. Right now if you're undocumented, you don't get access to a driver's license.

[Dan Bongino]

So you're stuck.

[Abdul El-Sayed]

You don't get access to a lot of the basic things the state offers everybody else. And I think that's ridiculous. And so we've got to stop discrimination discriminating that way.

[Dan Bongino]

There is no reforming, There is no retraining.

[Justin]

There is only a lavishing.

[Abdul El-Sayed]

I frock ICE

[Justin]

guy leaned out a little bit.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh, you hit the gym or whatever.

[Justin]

So he wants to pack the Supreme Court. If you have any objection to lgbtqia, identity politics shoved down your throat and

[Dan Bongino]

an attack on your religious beliefs too?

[Justin]

Then you don't get rights either. There'll be no cooperation with ISO. Your communities are going to be overrun by illegals. There's nothing you could do. Just play in a guy's own words, man. He's going to dramatically vote to hike your middle class taxes, to steal your insurance plan. It's to going guy is like, this guy is just like a gift to the Republican Party. I guess that's your theory. That's it.

[Dan Bongino]

I knew I like this guy when I hired him.

[Justin]

Nobody finds as fast as this cat that. I guess that's your. That's my favorite line. I guess that's your. Yes, that's their theory. They never have an answer for him. My daughter's going to. If she was raped, what are you going to do about defunding the police? Yeah, we'll put a streetlight up. It doesn't really help after the raping. Like I thought, the problem is the raping, not the street light. Josh. Correct. Like the problems, the raping. Remember that?

[Dan Bongino]

That's a p. No, no. You know, you. There was.

[Justin]

Remember Christopher Wray, P1 help me. He was asked some question up in Congress. Was it Christopher, some FBI guy?

[Dan Bongino]

And they were like, well, that doesn't

[Justin]

happen in the dark or something like that. Like, these are the answers these people give. The raping is the problem. That's the thing.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh my gosh, folks, sometimes they tell the truth.

[Justin]

I don't. Usually, I'm not.

[Dan Bongino]

Listen, this isn't like a sports show. It's not my thing.

[Justin]

I love sports.

[Dan Bongino]

I think it's good for communities, people to get together. I, you know, I. People attack sports all the time. I don't, I don't buy that bullshit.

[Justin]

You go to an Auburn game with a bunch of patriots who love the

[Dan Bongino]

country, who are like, you know, hugging

[Justin]

you on a touchdown.

[Dan Bongino]

You never even met this. This guy or woman before.

[Justin]

Like, everybody, they get out, get off your phones and enjoy community once in a while. I love sports, but I got to

[Dan Bongino]

tell you, like, I'm not the most informed sports commentator.

[Justin]

Not like, I don't know, flags lady, however. That's why I don't talk. I try not to, like, talk about

[Dan Bongino]

stuff that I'm not.

[Justin]

Like, I couldn't tell you the starting

[Dan Bongino]

roster for the Yankees anymore, even though I grew up a, you know, a Yankees fan. And, you know, I just, I just don't know.

[Interviewer]

I don't know.

[Dan Bongino]

Flags I know you don't. And you know I don't know sports that well. However this story was everywhere and, and I just have to make a comment on this because I did know a lot about sports growing up, especially the NBA. I'm a huge NBA fan. But the WNBA is just, just assassinating their brand.

[Justin]

I've never seen anything business wise so

[Dan Bongino]

stupid as the way the WNBA has handled Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham. So in case you missed this little clip, had tip at ESPN on this. Sophie Cunningham is this player. She's taken a stand for women's rights and sports and she gets attacked by what's this lady Dijonay Carrington. I mean just like assaulted, taken out of course because God forbid you have an opinion in the WNBA. Now the only reason I even bring this thing up, come back to me here and you know, you probably saw the clip.

[Justin]

The only reason I bring it up is let me say what I don't

[Dan Bongino]

have a problem problem with. I grew up with the NBA.

[Justin]

The NBA I grew up with.

[Dan Bongino]

I loved.

[Justin]

If you got in the paint in

[Dan Bongino]

the NBA in the Bill Lambert Detroit Piston era.

[Justin]

Who in the chat knows what I'm talking about?

[Dan Bongino]

Justin wasn't even born yet when that was going on.

[Justin]

Bill Lambert and those Pistons, Detroit Pistons from the day Charles Oakley and the Knicks, whoever it may be, forget it. You were getting crushed. I have no problem with aggressive play. I actually wish we would go back to the old NBA now. It's like you breathe on a guy, he flops and it's like technical foul, 47 free throws. You're like, what kind of bullshit game is this? I'd love to go. I have no problem with Dijon a Carrington knocking someone's head off in the paint. I don't.

[Dan Bongino]

So damn, why are you talking about it?

[Justin]

Because sometimes they tell the truth. All she had to say, we had this conversation in the little bubble there with the crudest. All this lady had to say is like hey, I play rough.

[Dan Bongino]

Whatever it have.

[Justin]

Most people would have suspected an agenda but they would have been like whatever. It wouldn't have been like a huge global story. That's not what she said. She came out on threads and made absolutely clear what was going on afterwards. The lady who tried to decapitate Sophie

[Dan Bongino]

Cunningham, you're like, Dan, that's you. Yeah, well that's my response.

[Justin]

She said all caps, just in case you missed it.

[Dan Bongino]

White privilege, Indiana Fever, which is the team so to be cutting in place for. I responded asshole privilege with the finger emoji down

[Justin]

she's just telling you the truth. Why would you watch that? Why would you watch that? You don't have to be white, Asian, Jewish, Muslim to take offense at. Wait, so you tried to decapitate her because she's white and you think she's privileged? You even said Indiana fever. All you had to do was shut up. And they couldn't even do that. It's like El Sayed. They can't shut up. They are proud of being stupid. I don't know.

[Dan Bongino]

Flags.

[Justin]

That's their theory. They've told you their theory. That's it. That was the day. Is that they kept. That's the day. See, I didn't know.

[Dan Bongino]

It's boys back in the day. You do. You do, but you. I mean, listen, you're. You're like. What are you, 21 or something? I don't know. How old are you now? 24. All right. Close enough. I don't gotta keep a bio. Shit. I just hang out with the guy. I don't want you. Oh, my gosh. I take Justin on this plane. He starts like. He cracks like a whiskey.

[Justin]

I'm like, bro, what do you have to do? You can't do that. He's like, I'm like, 23 or whatever. I'm like, that doesn't matter. I knew you when you were younger, okay? He's like, well, a lot of people knew you when you were younger, too. You doesn't. You're not, like, locked in at a moment in time. I'm like, you are for me. Yeah.

[Dan Bongino]

He remembers that to this day.

[Justin]

The look of horror on my face. I'm like, I do not support underage drinking. He's like, great. I'm not underage.

[Dan Bongino]

It's not even close.

[Justin]

I'm like, you are to me.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm sorry.

[Justin]

You were interning here when you weren't 21.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm like, I can't have that. He's like, locked in time. And he's like, I'm glad I started when I was. When I was above the age of 21. Listen, man, that clip is important because

[Justin]

again, they tell it. They're telling you why this brand is

[Dan Bongino]

going to kill itself.

[Justin]

This should be roundly condemned. The woman should be suspended. She's making a racial argument over a basketball foul. How she did it herself.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh, this stuff, man. Folks, listen, one of the reasons, again, I've told you over and over, like, people really.

[Sean Farish]

I.

[Dan Bongino]

Me and you too, like, they trust me. They hate the Bongino army, too. They cannot stand that this show Has a huge livestream audience.

[Justin]

It drives them bananas because it counteracts the.

[Dan Bongino]

They're telling you a story rather than the story we tell you the story, not a story.

[Justin]

There's a difference.

[Dan Bongino]

A story is jaded by your political biases. And elsewhere everyone has them.

[Justin]

However we play their own words. And it drives all of these people nuts. I saw this guy this morning. Another one.

[Dan Bongino]

We're going to have to add this guy to our villains list of douchebags. We have like a wall of zeros, you know, some people have a wall of heroes. With heroes.

[Justin]

We have the villain roster and the wall. The Of. Of zeros.

[Dan Bongino]

We're going to have to make it. Got fagazi on there. The other bag, of course, the cat lady, by the way, I don't know if you noticed, but on Haley's set, Justin, the cat lady figurine there. Action figure is falling down and you can't have that.

[Justin]

The cat lady that we have vanquished

[Dan Bongino]

a lot of villains in the past. Went under. I needed.

[Justin]

Who gave that?

[Dan Bongino]

Jim. Is that a gift from producer Jim?

[Justin]

We got to add this. John Light. They of course. Why do they always look like this?

[Dan Bongino]

Another D bag takes a shot. Of course. At me. Of course. In a record with the FBI. Why? Because the record is astounding. They don't want to actually talk about the numbers at all. They just want to talk about the insults because they have to personally attack.

[Justin]

Remember, these people pretend to be journalists.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm not a journalist. I'm a political opinion commentator. I'm a political. But here's another bit.

[Justin]

Why do they always.

[Dan Bongino]

Guys, every freaking time.

[Justin]

Why do they always look like this? Here's John Light.

[Dan Bongino]

He was a.

[Justin]

He worked as a producer for Bill Moyer.

[Dan Bongino]

Bill Moyers.

[Justin]

Oh, the Atlantic. He wrote with Helen Lewis. Helen Lewis, another one, wrote another shitty thing this morning.

[Dan Bongino]

Of course doesn't want to recognize our historic drop in crime, our public corruption arrests, anything like that. Double digit increases and violent crimes against children cases. The reforms, the workforce turnover, the entire like restructuring of the bureau. FISA reforms don't actually mention substantive stuff.

[Justin]

As a journalist, of course, just shit on people because you're showing that you

[Dan Bongino]

in fact don't believe in the truth. You just believe in bullshit. It happened again. There was another D bag this weekend. The pose. They always got to strike the pose. This freaking tool. What's his name? Brad something.

[Justin]

Look at this guy.

[Dan Bongino]

Look at this. Can you believe this guy? Here's another bag on this weekend. Like, yeah, I don't know. Man, these guys went in there, he said nothing is happening. Doomer too does actually cite any evidence about the nothing that's happening that's already happened. Of course.

[Justin]

But just because they hate the fact

[Dan Bongino]

that this show continues to kick all their asses. Here's the pose. The douchebag pose again. Yeah, you, you. That bother you? It should. You'll languish in obscurity as we continue to kick your ass. I know that bothers you. I love it. I love every minute of it. And the fact that we have these historic results they never talk about. They just tell you nothing is happening and ignore the fact about what actually happened. Because in the past they'll continue to defend especially the liberal media goons that hate our guts, a failing, disgusting, grotesque record. I want to show you a couple clips of this Quick break. I'm going to show you what I mean.

[Justin]

Nobody in the liberal media who attacks us for our results will ever address their results. There was a cover to the New

[Dan Bongino]

York Post I saw last week that

[Justin]

you would think there'd be a reckoning

[Dan Bongino]

in the liberal media that their big government socialist model sucks like is failing

[Justin]

the very people it claims to be helping. No, the New York Post cover should

[Dan Bongino]

rattle a lot of cages. I hope it does.

[Justin]

Hey, have you ever thought I should

[Justin]

All right.

[Dan Bongino]

I wanted to show you this again. They hate the show because they hate the truth. Went in there, kicked ass, clean the place up.

[Justin]

Historic drops in crime. All this stuff. They'll never talk about that. That never. Everything's personal with them because they can't

[Dan Bongino]

get the stick out of their ass.

[Justin]

They just hate this show.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's what they have to go on the lib media.

[Justin]

So we're spending, what is it?

[Dan Bongino]

$34,000 in taxpayer money, your money in

[Justin]

New York City to supposedly educate kids. It's a huge expense. August 8th.

[Dan Bongino]

Today's cover.

[Justin]

New York City's third and fifth graders fail basic reading tests with more than half not even proficient. They can't read there. You're paying $34,000 to send a kid to school who can freaking read. Less than half. Look at this cover. Less than half of elementary kids can pass a freaking English test. You're paying 34,000 a year. Outside now wants that government model of failure. They can't really read. Folks. Look at the data in the New York Post piece. What are you paying for? EL Sayed wants to take your money and apply this model to health care where you have a. You have to call a government bureaucrat to get your freaking chest cracked open. Well, how about the apply. 57% of third graders can't read. Failed to make degree. How about you apply that to heart surgery? They're going to tell you, Justin, pay the government. The government's going to manage your health care. You can't keep your plan anymore.

[Dan Bongino]

Obama was lying to you. Which they were the whole time, by the way, because this is what they wanted.

[Justin]

But you have a 43% chance you'll

[Dan Bongino]

live in your heart surgery.

[Justin]

You're not going to take those odds. Why would you take those odds in public education? Because you believe bullshitters like Al Syed who only wants your money.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's another one I saw this weekend. Why these liberal media people cannot stand this show. They cannot stop with.

[Justin]

The personal attacks are so indicative of your emotional fixation.

[Dan Bongino]

Not on facts, but on me and other truth tellers out there.

[Justin]

You would think at some point you'd

[Dan Bongino]

be like, maybe we should actually show some results ourselves.

[Justin]

Here's Margaret Brennan.

[Dan Bongino]

Probably. I think at this point. Can we all agree, guys, the worst weekend host on a weekend cable show.

[Justin]

I don't. There's no one worse. Margaret Brennan is such a hack.

[Dan Bongino]

How this woman still has A job. I don't.

[Justin]

She's been humiliated, embarrassed over and over. Remember J.D. vance with her.

[Dan Bongino]

Do you hear yourself, Margaret?

[Justin]

Like these people are just the self flagellation and humiliation routine they go through

[Dan Bongino]

every weekend is embarrassing.

[Justin]

We just had this massive hearing with Fauci and others. The FBI is an active case. Have already been indictments on the COVID thing. I thought nothing was happening. You're just stupid.

[Dan Bongino]

You don't read the news. I can't help you anymore. I'm sorry.

[Justin]

You can look it up yourself. All of this stuff is going on. And instead of Margaret Brennan, who has Jay Bhattacharya on, who was one of the Barrington Declaration backers that were right

[Dan Bongino]

about social distancing masks, segregating the sick and not imposing shutdowns, and everyone else,

[Justin]

you would think she would have him

[Dan Bongino]

on and be like, wow, you guys

[Justin]

were really ahead of the COVID curve on it for me. No, she takes an upright opportunity for basically two straight minutes to just attack the guy because they cannot get out

[Dan Bongino]

of their own way on the Russia

[Justin]

hoax, on the COVID bs, the mask

[Dan Bongino]

bs, the vaccine bs.

[Justin]

These are not serious people. It's only personal attacks with them. They don't have anything else.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Interviewer]

Is one year since that horrific shooting at CDC headquarters. The shooter was motivated by misinformation about the COVID vaccine. That is why he shot over 100 bullets into the windows of the CDC. Is enough being done to counter this kind of misinformation?

[Public Health Expert]

I think the shooter did was horrific. And I think that, you know, you could talk about why shooters do things, but really fundamentally.

[Interviewer]

Well, his father said he was brainwashed about the COVID vaccine and thought it was making him suicidal.

[Public Health Expert]

That's what I mean. The thing is like to talk about the shooter puts the emphasis on somebody who's. I mean, I think we shouldn't be putting our emphasis on.

[Interviewer]

No, I am on misinformation about.

[Public Health Expert]

I mean, I think the key thing is there's a loss of public trust in public health. That happened in part because of a lot of. Frankly, even on this network and on other networks, there was a particular single point of view put across during the COVID pandemic about how, you know, that led to things that really did cause harm to people. The school closures is probably the number one thing that.

[Interviewer]

This is not a productive line of claims. We covered Covid in depth on this program like no other Sunday show did.

[Public Health Expert]

I'm not blaming you specifically. What I'm saying is you want to talk about misinformation, the kinds of decisions and sort of the public sort of face of public health during the pandemic led to many people losing trust in public health.

[Interviewer]

The Trump administration, administration officials.

[Dan Bongino]

This is, this folks. I don't even. Margaret Brent. Why, why, why Mags? I don't know.

[Justin]

Can you, can you engage in a

[Dan Bongino]

cranial rectomy and remove your head from your own ass for a minute and just see how stupid you look?

[Justin]

There was no bigger proponent of the

[Dan Bongino]

failed lockdown strategy, the failed masking strategy, the failed social distancing strategy, the failed vaccine strategy.

[Justin]

No bigger proponent than liberal media outlets. It's all been exposed. The lab leak, cover up, all of that was on the left wing media. There will, for those of you expecting some reconciliation moment where the liberal media is going to wake up and go, hey, we lied to you about all that stuff. We lied to you about the Russia hoax.

[Dan Bongino]

We lied to you about all that stuff.

[Justin]

It is never going to happen. They are fully invested in personally attacking anyone who produces results and moves people

[Dan Bongino]

towards that true north direction.

[Justin]

Anyone.

[Dan Bongino]

Again, it's why we're always public enemy number one. And folks, there's going to be a huge reckoning in academia too.

[Justin]

Do you see this tweet? This is.

[Dan Bongino]

You know, I never cite your education dispensation for a moment. I did graduate school twice. The only reason I bring that up is because the dissertation and the PhD dissertation, it's not everywhere. But in a lot of these spaces, especially the social science space.

[Justin]

If you think a bunch of PhD

[Dan Bongino]

professors reviewing a dissertation or reading every word of it, not in all cases, but a lot of them, you're crazy. They're probably leaving it to their grad students. You know, it's like a court clerk or, excuse me, a court. Someone working for like a justice.

[Justin]

And they're not gonna get to read every second.

[Dan Bongino]

So they get briefs. Friends of the court stuff. Bottom line is the Humanities PhD Plagiarism Apocalypse is coming. As this guy Saul, Saul Satka says that. Jason, our day case we showed you last week where this guy gets this Oxford professorship and it turns out his life story is a little bit suspect. The shaman, you know, Amazon princess or

[Justin]

whatever told me what it. No, yes. Just look, the story's crazy. They guy notes in his piece, like if you just read his dissertation in

[Dan Bongino]

his case, his doctoral advisors clearly didn't.

[Justin]

He knows, he said someone soon is

[Dan Bongino]

going to set AI on millions of these dissertations written in the humanities spaces

[Justin]

and some will read them for the first time. And a list of all the plagiarists

[Dan Bongino]

going back a century will be spat out.

[Justin]

It will be a massacre of reputations. Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first from Saul. He is 100% correct. When you go to these urban studies, women's studies departments and all of these humanities fields, a lot of social sciences and things like that, a lot of this stuff that's been written is total bullshit.

[Dan Bongino]

And not only is it, it's plagiarized BS. And when AI goes wild on this,

[Justin]

he is 100% correct.

[Dan Bongino]

This guy is the first in a long line of people whose reputations are going to be destroyed. All right, a couple more things I want to get to. Yeah, look at this. You got to see this thing about the students, teachers, to read the tweet. I don't even want to go into the whole thing. It's strange. Are they. I know. I know what it is. And when you see where they just check out the tweet, you'll see more. I want to get this. It's important, folks. You know someone who used to work here, we had him on the show. You know, Mike, Michael Alfonso is running for Congress in Wisconsin. He's been busting his ass, been doing a great job in the campaign trail. Listen, I know what that's like. Unlike the doomers and grifters and bums who are constantly lobbing personal bullshit at this show, it's another thing to go out there and actually do the work. All these people out there now, third party or whatever, some of them, not all of them, but some of them are talking to mo smack, are never actually gonna do it themselves. They don't wanna do the filings. Cause they don't want you to see where their money's coming from. And they don't wanna go knock them on doors.

[Justin]

They don't want to go to, you

[Dan Bongino]

know, the county fairs and shake hands with actual people. They just want to lecture you on a podcast. Well, Michael decided to go out and run, and I'm proud of him. And I know a lot of people are attacking him. And one of them, one of the attacks I found particularly bizarre was like, well, he was in Florida for about a year. Justin's like, yeah, no,

[Justin]

for those of you who don't know, I live in Florida.

[Dan Bongino]

Reminds me of that line from the Usual Suspects with Kevin Pollock. We can place you in Queens on the night of the robbery. Really? I live in Queens. Should you think about that yourself or you got a team of monkeys working

[Justin]

around the clock whether you vote for him or not is your business, but attacking a guy for being in Florida

[Dan Bongino]

when his job was in Florida in the show is kind of stupid.

[Justin]

There's actual video, you see, Unlike. We actually produce results. That's our studio.

[Dan Bongino]

That's our studio in my. That was the old studio in my. In an apartment in my house. That's kind of a dumb attack. There he is right there, too, helping us out.

[Justin]

He worked for the show and he

[Dan Bongino]

did a good job. I'm sorry, man, that's just dumb. I don't know where you got that picture, but that's a good one. Right. There's the opening of the new studio. That's not a real attack. Okay. That's the studio. Look, man, he's got to put little circles around them, too. It's like. That's just stupid, man. I'm sorry. His wife worked for us too. Did you not know that? He's a Wisconsin guy. Like he. I think that's fairly obvious.

[Justin]

Hey, one more thing.

[Dan Bongino]

I want to get to. I promise I get to. At the beginning of the show, we got a bunch of guests for you. This. We got a pretty loaded guest roster. Right. Who's tomorrow? Oh, Patriot dad tomorrow. I'm looking forward to then. Vince Wednesday. Who's on Thursday?

[Justin]

Daniel DiMartino, who eviscerated that socialist idiot on Fox.

[Dan Bongino]

He's great. Good. And what we have Friday too. Sean Farish is a guest on Friday. Why would we have Sean as a guest on Friday? Because we love him. But his show starts on Monday too, which is going to be awesome. Bongino.com Sean Sean with an H. His show starts at 1pm Rumble.com Sean on Monday Eastern time. Check that out. Join the live chat. We're happy to have him on our podcast.

[Justin]

Everything's growing. Can I say this too?

[Dan Bongino]

I won't say specifically, but you guys know there's more big news coming to

[Justin]

the Grifters and Doomers posing guy from the weekend. Johnny Light at Talking Point. Talking Point. Morons.

[Dan Bongino]

And this tool sideline. Stanley throwing popcorn from the side.

[Justin]

I know this is going to upset you, but there's actually even more news about the show expanding, I thought, but the Doomer said it was failing.

[Dan Bongino]

Crazy, right? It's crazy how that happens. We have good news coming. I can't tell you what it is yet, but there is a dramatic expansion across platforms coming with this show, to which will, I'm sure, make the Doomers, grifters and losers crap their diapies. I can't help you. Have Mommy clean you up, get some wipes. You know, sometimes when Lucy goes outside and she takes a dump and is particularly nasty, sometimes you got to clean her up.

[Justin]

Have mommy clean you up like that too.

[Dan Bongino]

When you soil your diapies, I can't help you. I can flip you. I just can't help you. So you'll be needing a new box of diabetes.

[Justin]

But this is one of the reasons

[Dan Bongino]

they really hate us. This is like. Let me shift back to serious mode for a second. There's a Semaphore article about Spotify. Now. Our video show is not on Spotify. This is like one of these other BS attacks. So for the Bongino army, you'll see this a lot. Our video live stream is exclusive to Rumble. It's not a mystery. You can go look. Why can't I find the live stream elsewhere? Why, guys?

[Justin]

Because it's exclusive to Rumble. The video show, the full length show

[Dan Bongino]

is also exclusive to Rumble. So other platforms like Spotify that have video shows, technically, you know, we're not.

[Justin]

We're only on Spotify as an audio audio show.

[Dan Bongino]

So we don't typically like promote other platforms. That's why we do so well on Rumble. But not really hard. But of course the doomers are.

[Justin]

But Spotify is going to have a problem.

[Dan Bongino]

This article in Semaphore is why livestream audiences. This one being, you know, as big as it is, tens of thousands of people every day show up here. Live stream audiences are going to be the only path forward for this business. If you don't have a big live stream, you're eventually going to get smoked. Spotify, they note, is this is an article by Max Tanny I'm not a huge fan of, but he's accurate in this. Spotify is terrifying much of the podcast industry with a tiny little widget. Last week they introduced and tweaked their streaming interface, adding a feature that allows users to more effectively skip through parts of podcasts no one wants, notably ads, as well as promotions and filler content as long as they aren't sold to directly by Spotify. Ah, Spotify Cast. The move is streamlining a feature that already exists, the skip button, which is there, which users in practice often use to bypass ads. There's going to be a real problem for a lot of folks. The benefit of a live stream is people are there with you.

[Justin]

Live this.

[Dan Bongino]

I am a free market enterprise guy. It's crazy because Tommy Vitor probably hates my guts too, but he has a very successful podcast on the left. He has a crooked media. They do Big numbers and huge money, by the way. We don't have to agree on ideology, but he understands the business like I do. Tommy Vitor put it even more bluntly. Very cool of Spotify to try and destroy the podcast industry. What a great partner.

[Justin]

So I'm. Our video, again, is not on Spotify. It's why we do well.

[Dan Bongino]

We're like, We're a top 20 news show on Spotify, but we're, you know, we're never like number one or number

[Justin]

two because there's no video there. It's a video platform.

[Dan Bongino]

Right?

[Justin]

But if you're going to give your

[Dan Bongino]

video and stuff to Spotify, give it to them. You're not charging them and they're making money off your platform inserting their own ads.

[Justin]

You could at least have the courtesy

[Dan Bongino]

of allowing the host to monetize his business model so he can pay his team. I'm telling you, man, livestreaming, moving forward, if you're even thinking about the podcast business, it's going to be the only way. The only way. I had a dog video for the end of the day because I love dogs. I'm just telling you. But I couldn't find it. I sent these guys this video on Instagram. It was like the greatest thing ever. You ever see when these guys go into the. And ladies, they go into these dog adoption shelters and a dog catches onto them, won't leave them alone because they just want to get out of the shelter I just described to you. But I couldn't really find it. So I'm really sorry. I'm just gonna try to leave it

[Justin]

at, I don't know, flags.

[Dan Bongino]

I know dogs change my life. You got a dog out there. In the chat, I didn't think I was a dog person. I got a dog for my daughters and now, like, the dog. I love this dog. It just sits on my.

[Justin]

Did your dog ever just sit on your.

[Dan Bongino]

Like, I'll sit down on the couch. Just sits on my foot, like her head on my foot like that on the mic. Love the dog. So I'll try to find some dog videos for you at the end of the week.
