• Russiagate and Media as the Story:
  • Returns to the Russia collusion hoax, lambasting reporters stuck in the past.

  • “President Trump transferred the base from an old stodgy, bow-tie wearing Republican party to a working class Republican party” (80:09)

On Media Narcissism:

Trust in the Media:

• “Trust in media has reached rock bottom … a gigantic narcissistic exercise … they’ve blown it.” (70:01)

Polling & Election Integrity:

On Voter Blocks:

Economic Realignment:

• Bongino: “Electricians are making $250,000 a year … these women's studies, basket weaving, 19th century urban studies majors who have no freaking skills at all are gonna have no place in this economy.” (80:09)

Advice to GOP:

I watch cable news, but I only have an hour with you, so I don't have all day. Okay. It's not wall to wall coverage first. And I'll bring this up with Vince later as well. He's my guest today. Vince Colonnades. Will socialist voters who now lost in Wisconsin and barely snuck out a victory in Michigan with Abdul El sayed that Lady Francesco was running in Wisconsin as the socialist. She was up 20 points in the polls and she got just destroyed last night. Will socialist voters actually show up and vote for. They're not real moderates, but fake moderate candidates. The answer, folks, I'm not sure they will because they're freaking crazy. Unlike Republican voters that, you know, after the primary with Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and Donald Trump and Ron Desantis realized like, all right, maybe I was a DeSantis or Cruz guy. However, I'm going to vote for President Trump because the alternative is crazy. The Democrats are actually crazy. A lot of these socialists, so I'm not sure they're going to show up. So this could create a real problem. Also, the inverse of that will moderate Democrat voters. There are actual, you know, union workers and people Voted Democrat for generations that aren't crazy. You know, they're minors and stuff. Are they going to show up for a socialist like El Sayed? You know, I'm not really sure. And one more point. The polls, folks, just disregard the polls. This lady in Wisconsin was up by like 20 points in almost every single poll. I'm not talking about outliers. And she lost. Al said was up by 10 plus points. Barely snaked by. Ignore the polls. Ignore the polls. You remember the midterms? Gee, Justin, you guys were here. You remember the midterms for Joe Biden? Inflation's out of control. Afghanistan blows up. Do you guys. It's not that long ago. You guys remember this? Remember the red wave? What did we say on the show? Justin's like, yes. We were like, no P1s. You remember this? I said, I don't want to hear jack squat. And Jack left town about a red wave. Do not trust the poll. Remember the polls. Remember them, Justin. Republicans are up by 75 points. I'm like, guys, please stop the nonsense. Stop talking like that. Cuz then people aren't going to show up. They're going to think, oh, we're going to win. And what happened? Biden way overperformed in his Democrats. I, he wasn't up, but it was a midterm. He way overperformed. Forget the polls. Just do the simple. As they say in football, do the blocking and the tackling and it'll open up holes in the line and you'll get three to four yards in every run. Just show up and vote and, and bring 10 people with you. Email 10 people, call 10 people, make 10 social media posts on how to vote. Simple blocking and tackling. It's honestly what the socialists are very good at. They're crazy, but they're good at it. And we will do okay. If you don't show up, we'll lose. Forget the freaking polls, please, I'm begging you. Because there is a lot of anger out there on the Democrat side too. You see a lot of doomers and grifters on our side telling you, oh, is all this anger? But folks, it's overstated. There's real anger on the left though. Just before I came on the air, I was sitting inside. I bounce inside quick, I come back. It's before that we had the whole quantum hyperdrive meltdown thing on the show just now, right? And I'm watching this interview on Fox. Of course, if you're watching On Demand, you missed the whole thing. But I'm watching this interview On Fox. And how many times have I warned you about this? There is a union worker, an auto UAW worker on Fox, United Auto Workers, working class guy goes to work. I don't know if he's a Democrat or I don't really care, but a lot of union workers are Democrats. Not all, but a lot. He's on Fox telling you what I've told you forever. Wait, these socialists want government run health care for all. If you're a union worker. In the chat chime in right here, the guy's like, let me get this straight. I busted my ass for this car company my entire life to negotiate a compensation package and, and I took less money in salary for better health care, benefits for insurance for my family. And now you got Abdul Al Sayed saying double barrel, middle finger, I'm taking your insurance plan. I'm going to stick you on government insurance with everyone else. You think this is a winning message? The guy was on Fox telling Democrats, you better clam up about this right quick. They don't have a winning message. We have something to run on. Inflation came in a little cooler. We've got it's exploding economy with manufacturing. We've got a shutdown, border crime rates. The safest America you've ever lived in. He's got the big beautiful bill, tax cuts. And now President Trump's proposing a capital gains tax cut too. Now I know what you're thinking. I know the liberal goofballs who listen to my show. You're out there thinking capital gains on investments for all you rich folks. Hey, can you guys throw something in ChatGPT Live? Just ask this question. In 1997 or you don't even have to ask. In 1997, just say, did Bill Clinton cut the capital gains tax rate during his presidency? I'm just gonna check on that. Right, cuz Bill Clinton and he's a Democrat, correct? Last time I check he's like, yeah, I don't know. Sometimes I get lost on Bill Clinton's a Democrat. So President Trump is proposing to do the same thing Bill Clinton did when honestly the economy was doing okay in the Clinton administration the second term it was doing okay. Why did Bill Clinton decide to cut the capital gains tax? Because he knew that that money would flow into pension funds that were invested in the stock market and elsewhere. That it would flow back into companies in the form of money that wasn't going the government that now they could invest in salaries and equipment. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Dan Bongino is right again. Crazy. I Took that chance on a live show. And even after the hyperdrive broke. Yes. Bill Clinton signed the capital gains tax cut. We're not making. I didn't plan this, I swear to you. Did I not vouch for me? Yes. Thank you. 1997, 8 percentage point capital gains tax cut. So for those of you going to get out ahead of this and be like, oh, Donald Trump's in it for the rich. Was Bill Clinton too. And the economy exploded because the money went back into the economy and not in some government bureaucrats wallet. I just want to say too, before I get to the Secret Service story, these guys were witnesses this morning. So was Jasmine. Listen, this is a republic. Vote for who you want. I have my opinions. I hope you enjoy my opinions. That's why you're here. It's a political opinion show which shocked the media when I told them. But President Trump's a really good guy. Something happened this morning. It's nothing big, I promise you, it's really small, but something happened this morning and it just reminded me that regardless of your opinion about his policies, his speaking style, whatever it is, I'm telling you, this guy is the real deal, fellas. Is he not? Okay, I have witnesses. You want to talk about a guy, you're going to laugh. The media people. I don't care if you laugh because you don't know. He just totally, absolutely gets it. Something happened this morning. And I'm just. It never ceases to amaze me that he just takes the time when he really doesn't have to for any of this stuff. He could be like, meh. And he doesn't. Thank you. You know what I mean? All right, now getting to the story. This Secret Service Turkey, not like boar's head Turkey, but Turkey the country. I'm not calling it Turkey. Turkey, It's Turkey. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. Okay. President Trump goes to Turkey. A very serious threat comes in through intel channels with the Israelis. The threat comes in that Air Force One could possibly be taken out by whether it was a manpad surface to air missile. It's a very serious threat. Serious enough that they move President Trump to another non af1 fleet to get him out of there in secret. Right. The media, as I addressed yesterday, cannot get past the fact that this story is not about them. Jake Tapper again did it yesterday. Here's this X post. I cannot get over this fact that the media really believes this story is about them. He put this post up on X. They're simply astonished that in countries in the region, the Middle east and outside the Middle east, in Europe and elsewhere that have security issues like Turkey. A lot of them do. It's not just a reflection on Turkey alone that there's a security threat and that the Secret Service thankfully lifted and shifted and did something about it. He put in on X on his account. So the Secret Service thought the threat against the President was strong enough to surreptitiously remove him from AF1. He then proceeded to let the plane full of White House staffers and reporters take off and fly back to the United States. Oh my. Is it? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good. Justin. Not dancing. Justin. Jake, with due respect, at this point, okay, because I'm really like China, like the villains list I'm trying to keep small. Have you thought through what you said? So there's a threat so severe against the President of the United States, the threat so severe that you would like to stay on the ground instead or you would like to be what, bust over in non armored vehicles to a commercial flight somewhere, extending your time in country. And by the way, I promise you, and I'm very careful in what I say here, but I feel like we can put this out comfortably without giving up any security procedures whatsoever. Just because you were on Air Force One or what was designated Air Force, even though the President wasn't on it. Air Force ones with the President, but just, you know, the plane, you get the point. Does not mean security measures still weren't taken. Fellas. You know what makes me laugh about this, Jake? And these media people are acting like they were like, oh, the President's not here. Shut off the security. Shut it off. Guys, shut up. You know that countermeasure and stuff for like missiles and things? We don't need that. Andy. They like this. Save the, Save the battery life. Save the battery. There was still security. You know. Who secures Air Force One? Pop quiz. Anyone in the chat. Secret Service. No, we don't. Yes, you do. No, we don't. We secure the President. We do not secure Air Force One. When the President's on Air Force One, we secure the President on Air Force One. The Air Force people secure the military. The white. It's called Wham O. The White House military office secures Air Force One. You really believe the US Military and Secretary of War Pete Hagg said, well, like, hey man, there's some press people and staffers on the plane. So like guys, they were like, effort. They're like, turn it off, turn it off. By the way, let's Leave them in country and let's send them out on a commercial flight so the whole country knows.

[B]

What?

[A]

With no countermeasures whatsoever? With a number of civilians who did not sign up for this? Have you thought any of this through? Do you realize how stupid you sound? If they sent them home to an airport on an unarmored vehicle and put them on a plane, they'd be like, oh, my gosh. You put us on a plane with civilians, you put the whole plane at risk. And they had no countermeasures. What did you want them to do? Leave Air Force One behind? Oh, my gosh, this story's got me so animated this morning, even with hyperdrive meltdown. You know, Tommy Boyd, what's your theory, Jake, again, what's your theory? What were you going to do? What do you want us to leave you there? Guys, in the chat, ladies, there's a security threat. We're going to leave Air Force One behind. We'll figure it out later. By the way, when Air Force One is on the ground, I just told you, who secures it? Pop quiz. In the chat. Yes. The U.S. military. You want to leave the plane there for a week with our military people where it's a sitting duck. Have you. Have any of you in the media thought this through? It's funny guy at the beginning of the show is like, shows a little light today. I'm like, no, it's not. This story's driving me crazy. I'm going to go off on this thing. Here's some video for you. And by the way, there were cabinet members on the plane with the press. You think the president and Hegset were like, screw them, too. We don't really care. Come on, man. Right, right. The Designated Survivor. Stick them on the butt. We're all going to die later. This is so stupid. Here's Kaitlan Collins again, still making this Secret Service story about the media and not about the fact that the Iranians likely were trying to kill the President. United States, which we were told by podcastistan was. Was worthy of a nuclear war. Correct. Look it up. You think I'm making it up? Check this out.

[B]

It makes what the president told reporters in that gaggle afterward all the more noteworthy.

[A]

Do you know why they had us close our window blinds? That was not usually. Well, yeah, because you're, you know, probably on a dangerous spike because of the sleazebags that we have to deal with. Anything that Iran was possibly thinking you tried off. I mean, if they asked you to close your windows, probably they feel that way. They didn't ask me to close mine, but if they did, I would have done it.

[B]

Were you aware of any credible threat by Iran against your movement? I've done threat all the time.

[A]

I'm number one on their list before you. But if I go, you go, right? So perhaps, perhaps some may want to change professions.

[B]

If I go, you go. Though the President wasn't actually on the same plane as the reporters who were asking him that question. And when they asked him about why they had to lower their own shades and the President said, well, he wasn't told to lower his. Well, he was on a secret plane. He was not on the same plane that those reporters and some White House staffers were flying on.

[A]

Folks, I'm telling you right now, there is nothing working class America hates more than a bunch of like 25 year old elitist snobs who've never had a real job. Like Kaitlan Collins, who was like an entertainment reporter just a few years ago. Listen, man, you don't have to like me. You're not obligated. You don't want to listen to the show, don't listen. Whatever. Show is not for you. Fine. I actually worked for a living and had a number of like actual jobs with the police department, the Secret Service, the FBI, businesses, investing, consulting. I've actually, like, done stuff. You don't have to like it, but it's true. These people don't know shit. You think a working class electrician in New York City wants a lecture from Kayla Khan's like, oh my gosh, I was on a presidential trip and there was danger. No shit, Sherlock. Don't go then. Nobody's forcing you to go. Just stay home, curl up in a little ball and whine about it. The only person in that thing who's actually been shot, who was shot on that plane and that specific trip in Turkey, was the President. How do you think this sounds to working class people? Some who may not even like the President. Oh my gosh. The media is whining that there was a dangerous situation in a high threat country and they had to go on the trip and report it. So don't go, you entitled snobs. Just stay home, folks. Everything is about them. Everything. Their egos are out of control. I, I promise you, I've been in a lot of different spaces and arenas. Everything from investment to finance to. If you were talking about a pool of people in any space, law enforcement, military, media, Hollywood, whatever. I don't know. Everyone everywhere. Obviously you will never see a bigger group of egomaniacs than people in the media anywhere, anywhere. It is always about them. This story. I'm trying to help you, which is rare. You look like total zeros with this story. Thank the Secret Service for getting the President home safely under a high threat scenario and shut up and move on. You look like total tools. Okay, it also explains this Next folks. Don't miss this next segment. Remember the unintended but viral post I put out on my FBI account about how we can't run a republic like this and what I had seen. I've explained this story many times. Some people still haven't heard it because I still get questions about it. But I'm going to show you what I'm how does this tie into this media story folks? It is all about ego to them and even when they are laughed at, like people are laughing at him over this story with the Secret Service threat, even when they're laughed out, like the pee pee hoax thing, the Russia hoax story, Trump colluded with the Russians. They still can't let it go. I'm going to show you what I mean. This ridiculous post by this clown at the New York Times who's getting laughed at on X today. I'm going to show you how it ties into my post and what I saw. And I promise you, all these people who are still pumping the pee pee tape hoax are going to be made absolute fools of when this whole thing that they tell you isn't happening happens. Quick break.

Hey.

[A]

I used to think waking up tired was just part of life, but it turns out my mattress was a big part of the problem. I switched a long time ago to Helix Mattress. My second one. I had one when I up in the apartment in D.C. too. It's absolutely fantastic. Ever since I switched to the Helix Midnight Lux, the difference has been incredible. I wake up feeling rested, refreshed, and more importantly, I have really terrible joints. You hear me complain about it a lot. I wake up feeling a whole lot better than that old garbage mattress I had before Helix. One thing I really appreciate is how simple Helix makes the purchase process for the mattress. You take their quick sleep quiz like I did and they'll match you with a mattress tailored to your specific sleep needs. It's really simple. And preferences. The support feels personalized and the cooling technology is a total game changer, especially on hot Florida nights. But it gets hot everywhere in the summer obviously. Since making the switch, I've noticed fewer interruptions throughout the night. I I see it on my sleep tracker. My sleep has been better so Much more energy during the day too. It's important. You gotta be sharp for shows like this, especially when the flux capacitor goes down, right, guys? It's one of those upgrades that impacts your daily life more than you expect. And with Helix's 120 night sleep trial and a limited lifetime warranty, you can try it out, knowing you have plenty of time to make sure it's the right fit for you.

That's H E L I X helixsleep.com dan helixsleep.com dan for twenty percent off site wide. Thank you, Helix Sleep. We really appreciate it. Okay, back to the show. Here's what I'm talking about. You know, normal people like you and I who've had real jobs and you know, you'll, you, you learn through a process of trial and error, obviously throughout your life, you, you say something dumb. Growing up, when you're 16 and it's your first job and the manager's like, that's stupid. Shut up and get back to work, right? You learn. Most people in the media, not all, There's a lot of good people out there that I know, especially some of my colleagues at Fox and others. But most people in the media, they've never had a real job. Their entire job is being in front of a camera and telling you how stupid you are and how smart. There. That's their job. That's how they see. Because they've never had a real job. Unlike me and others out there who have to, like, have a finger on the pulse of how actual people feel. They think they are the story every time. That is what is now happening with the Russian collusion hoax. Why are we going back to that? We're not. The media is doing it. They cannot let this go. Let me show you what I mean. Put up this tweet by this absolute tool bag at the New York Times who I promise you, my name is Michael Schmidt. Michael Schmidt. He's at New York Times. Mike, everyone should laugh at this guy because he deserves it, he says. New the trove of documents released by the White House last week about the Russia investigation said shed new light on a long standing question. Whatever happened to the counterintelligence investigation the FBI wanted done into Trump's ties to Russia? Here. You're here now. He says short answer, as if he has it. He does not have the answer. But he said he goes, short answer. It was sidetracked before it ever had a chance to get going. Michael, can I just be straight with you right now? Stop the presses. You're just a dick. You're just really a dick. Sorry. Why was the counterintelligent now? First, you guys in the audience think Michael Schmidt knows more about this case or me as the former deputy director of the FBI, who do you think knows? I'm not asking. The question is, like, who you like more. You may hate the show, you may tune in to troll the chat, whatever. Do you think. Who do you think knows more about the case? I'm just going to throw that out there. Probably me, right? Maybe I've seen things and have been read in on things that Michael hasn't. So Michael's implying here that the prior leadership of the FBI, which was a disgusting disgrace to humankind and an embarrassment to every sentient being in the cosmos, the leadership team at the FBI was a total humiliating embarrassment. What happened? They're all gone. Fired or gone. There is nobody there who had anything to do with this stuff that we didn't get rid of. And if we find more later, they'll probably be gone too. Folks, the reason this fake investigation into Trump being a Russian spy was. Was shut down is because there was nothing there. This idiot cannot let this go. Imagine being like, again, this guy's like parents having to tell people who are saying, like, my son is a reporter still holding on to the pee pee tape hoax. Dude, it's been years later. This thing is done. It is finished. Nobody believes you. Let me help Michael out. I'm going to help you and I'm going to just help you stop being a dick, because you really don't need to be. Being a dick is a choice. You don't have to be one. Well, it's true. It's a choice. It's a dyak. It's a name. Dick. You know, dyac. Being a dick is a choice. So he's a dyak. Michael, couple points on this. Put up my post first. This is when I was at the fb. You've read this post before. I only put it up because I did not intend this to be some viral news story. But I was at the FBI office on a Friday night. If you've heard this story, I don't want to bore you again. I'll make it quick. I was the in town guy. Cash had traveled that week on a. On a. On a specific trip. He had to go to for work. So I had to stay in town. One of us had to be in town when we could. So I'm in town. I'm there late on a Friday night. Paula wasn't coming in, so I just stayed late. It was like 7 o' clock on a Friday and my security detail was getting antsy, like, what the hell is he still doing the office? The reason I was in the Office late until 7:00 clock is someone put a document in front of me. I'm not at liberty to say what it is. It's not public yet. There's a whole investigation going on. I get it. The nothing is happening. Doomers and dipshits. You can shove it up your ass. You don't know what you're talking about. So I'm just discarding you losers right now. Okay? It's a what? It's happening. You can just again roll it up in a ball. But I read this document and I. Next morning I woke up and I was so stunned by the media, their role in promoting this massive hoax that I just put this out the next day. And I knew it was going to be an issue. And five minutes after I posted, I think Fox News broke in and was like, well. And I was like, oh, boy. Maybe I said, we're going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book in accordance with the law. We're going to get the answers we all deserve. As with any investigation, I can't predict where it'll land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at the truth. Not my truth or your truth, but the truth. The sentence before, that's the one that got everyone's attention. I said, we can't run a republic like this. I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned. I meant it. That was not an effort at hyperbole. I'll give you a little bit of insight without giving you any giving away any unnecessary information. There are three points I want to make to Michael Schmidt so he doesn't have to be a dick, okay? Because being a dick is a choice. And you don't have to be a dyak. Stupid's a choice too. You don't have to take the path. You don't know anything, Michael. You have no idea. You've never been read in on this. You haven't seen what I've seen. If I'm making this up and I'm all lying about it, I'm doing it. This is recorded, right, guys? This goes on demand. Let him Just check it. Jasmine's like, yeah, I think so. We have it. So why would I say this if it wasn't true? I've seen things you haven't seen. Point number one about you media idiots still promote in a pee pee hoax. The people involved here in promoting this hoax that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election. There's a trove of evidence indicating that the people promoting this political operatives absolutely knew that the media and the FBI were going to be useful idiots, the old FBI leadership team. I'm just telling you, you're going to look like idiots in the long run if you can. When this all comes out, you're going to look like fools. They knew you guys were too stupid to let this go because of your egos and they played you like a really bad violin. It's obvious. That's point number one. If I've never said any of this before, I'm saying it now because I can't take these idiots anymore. Why was the counterintelligence investigation shut that? Because it was totally not predicated and made up. You wanted to. What do you want? To start an investigation against you because they don't like you. That's not the way this works. Point number two, folks, there was never any evidence at all that Vladimir Putin even wanted Trump to win the general election. Ever. You're going to see that too. No, of course Putin wanted Trump to win. Who told you that? Michael Schmidt in New York Times. They're lying. It's all here, folks. I'm telling you, you're going to look stupid. You could continue promoting this all you want. I didn't bring it up again. Michael Smith did. Because he wanted to be a dick. There was never any evidence Vladimir Putin wanted Donald Trump to win the general election against Hillary. Matter of fact, I can make a strong case to you that the evidence was the opposite. Thought Hillary would be more compliant. Whatever you told the public, It's a 183rd and last point. There are no heroes in this story, but there are some people who had a lot of problems with this. Not a lot, unfortunately. I'm not going to over. Oh, the whole FBI revolted and said don't do no, no. Many went along. A lot of those people are not there anymore, but a lot of people didn't. When analysts in the usic, the United States intelligence community, not just the FBI, but other intelligence agencies as well, pointed out that this whole Russia collusion story was, sorry to say, but bullshit like, hey, this isn't real. Nothing you're saying is true. You should probably stop saying it. There were leaders in these entities who totally ignored it and basically said like shut up. What do you think? Joe diGenova, Todd, Blanche and Patel and me when I was. What do you think we were doing? You think I wrote what, three books on this? You think we weren't interested in this case and we're just going to let the Republic. Oh, nothing's happened. You don't know anything. You're just doing what these media people are doing. You're giving them fodder. Michael, you're about to be humiliated. You know nothing about the case. And I just want you all to please respectfully though because I don't want to be like these crazed deranged leftists. I know we're not like that. I want you to tell. I want you to screenshot that tweet he has out there and I want you when all of this stuff, it may take a while. I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know the timeline. I'm not anymore. I'm not giving updates. I want you to screenshot this and when all of it does come out and you see what I told you, you're going to see, remember this segment flags in the chat that I was right and this guy's just lying here. I'm getting tired of them folks. This nothing is happening Doomer grifter crowd in conjunction with their media losers. All they want you to do is not show up in November so they can take political power and destroy your lives. Take your healthcare package. If you're a UAW worker, you know, steal your Social Security, bankrupt you, cause more massive inflation. What do you think causes inflation? Printing more money. Yes, Republicans and Democrats have printed a lot of money and spent a lot throughout the years. No doubt they want to print even more like 10x100x more over time. Your life is being destroyed by Democrats and the nothing is happening doomers that are constantly attacking this president. Constantly, every single day you see them on X. It's nothing but whining. And I'm not talking about policy objections. There are even allies that don't like specific. That's fine. I'm talking about the everyday just tidal wave of this sucks. That sucks where you say to yourself is this really genuine or is this person trying to demoralize people? The answer is probably the latter. You see it all the time. This guy you notice, Nick Fritos, he's. He's great. I really enjoy his Twitter account. You should Follow him. He's had some really great thoughts on this about the doomers and grifters. I saw this the other day and I'm like this guy nailed. He's at at Nick N I C K J Free Tasks F R E I T A S For those listening on audio, please give him a follow. He said, I've noticed that the most demoralized quote right wing influencers are the ones that have done the least amount of actual work fighting for the things they claim to love. I guess it's easier to give up on that which you've given so little to defend. Yes sir. These people didn't do anything. They didn't give up their jobs to go in the administration. They didn't, most of them didn't knock on any doors they didn't run for. They've done nothing. All they do is sit and throw popcorn. Sideline Stanley. That's all they do. So then when we put out actual things that are happening, just like I told you, as I said in the post when I was in the FBI, that went viral. This thing is a properly predicated investigation that's going on. I'm sorry it's not on everyone's timeline. That's not the way this works. It's not a convenient or cute answer, but it's the right one. You want things done the right way, you want things done the fast way. Because many times those are not the same thing. Sometimes they can be the same thing, sometimes they're not. When you see results like this and then you see the nothing is happening crowd, I want you to understand it is all an OP to get you to be demoralized, to not show up to hand power to people like Abdul El Sayed in Michigan. Put up Cassius tweet if you would. Again, how does this not matter to you? I don't understand like how these. This is President Trump is this guy when I'm telling you we got into office, I was there, I saw it. He is absolutely adamant in crushing crime in this country, folks. He doesn't care about the polls. A lot of these high crime cities you see in this tweet by Cash. I hope you're reading along. I'll get to it in a second. A lot of these high crime cities, there's almost no Republicans to speak of at all. Newark, Baltimore County, Boston, Washington D.C. the portion of Republicans proportion of Republicans in these cities and these localities are zippo. Nothing yet. Look at this tweet by Cash. Homicides are down 17.2% across many of America's largest cities in the first half of 2026, thanks to President Trump letting us do our jobs. Look at these drops, folks. 64% newer, 60% Baltimore County. We installed the new sac up there. Is cleaning up up there, too. And the other guy's doing a good job, too. Now, rapid response 47 put this up, too, on their account. Like, folks, the president doesn't care if this polls well. He cares about you not dying. Crime data analyst Jeff Asher. The 2026 US murder rate will be by far the lowest ever recorded. What do you mean? Nothing is. What are you talking about? The President deserves no credit for this. Ever recorded. Ever. I want to. I'm going to tell you what we did in a second. Look at these. There's actual charts. Look. You can look. There's pictures for the liberals. This kind of stuff, it makes me, like, really laugh, right? Because it's President Trump and his leadership. And I'm going to tell you exactly what happened because I want to be clear, if I'm going to ask people to produce spreadsheets and results, I should do it, too, Correct? Everyone in the chat agree I get no pass. Well, Dan, what if it was just luck? You and Cash and the president were sitting in there and a lot of people just woke up. Maybe, Jasmine, he just decided not to kill people one day, right? Maybe it was just luck. I'm going to tell you exactly what we did to put meat on a bone, because the President let us do it. Now, you would think the Washington Post. The Washington Post. Justin, where's the Washington Post? He's scratching his head. He said, I think Washington. So there's a place. State of D.C. good. So there's this District of Columbia. The Washington Post has a big presence in Washington, D.C. i mean, it's actually called the Washington Post. If you had the most significant crime reduction in US History happening like that under the leadership of President Trump, you would think, if you were a reporter like Michael Schmidt who thinks there's a pee pee hoax or whatever, you would think you would call the people in charge, maybe Todd Cash me the President, Susie, and say, hey, guys, can you explain this? No, it's not that simple. No, it's not that simple. What do we mean by it's not that simple? That's a good one. Here's an actual headline by. What is that? Four morons at the Washington Post. I know they got an army on the byline. Ben Carnack. Carnac, like the Johnny. John D. Harden uses his middle initial Juan Ben Jr. And Jasmine Golden. Not our Jasmine. And apparently a very dumb Jasmine at the Washington Post. They're really confused about this. They could have called and asked. They said a year after the Washington D.C. takeover, Trump says crime has plummeted. It's not that simple. No, it is that simple. It is that Justin. How do we know if there's a homicide or not? Justin's like, hey, it's not that simple. You go like this here. My elbows don't bend. But imagine I'm like feeling my pulse. There's no pulse. He's dead. How is he dead? Justin's like, he's got a hole in his chest. It looks like he was shot. And that guy said someone shot him. It's the justice, like, Dan, it's not that simple, bro. Stop being an asshole. It's not that Bullet hole. Chest cameras. So is shooting show you the guy's dead? The medical examiner confirms it. They put a mirror under his nose. Looks like he's not breathing. We're pretty sure he's dead. How do you know he's not dead? Because you show up at the same corner and there's not a fucking dead guy sitting there. There's nobody dead. It's just the bodega or the deli. There's no dead guy. You think people would know, hey, there's a fucking dead guy on the corner. Watch the. It's not that simple. It is that simple, dipshits. You could have called the Trump administration and asked, hey, how is it that homicide rates have plunged so dramatically in crime rates? Well, I'm going to help you out. Jasmine golden and the other Karnak, the musician, or magician, whatever. I'm going to laserize. I know, I'm sorry. I'm in a mood today. Even with hyperdrive meltdown, you know I can never let stuff go. Even though they tell you in a business, stop that. No, I can't. I'm sorry. That's why the show's different. He. I know. You almost should. I know. You should leave like a little chunk of it in there or something right now. Make it clean. So for those of you listening, I don't know, we had a meltdown, so we do have to cut it out, but whatever. So that for live people, you get it first. We took a thousand agents out of FBI headquarters. Not two, not ten, a thousand. Many of them were doing administrative paper pushing jobs. And we said, hey, man, we took analysts, too. I think it'd be a better idea if you went out in the field and started to arrest Bad guys. Dude, is that Justin's like, that's a crazy idea. It's so crazy no one else did it before we got in there. You know who signed off on it? Yes. President Trump. Because he was like, that sounds pretty common sense to me. If it was so common sense, why didn't the Washington Post bothered ask a thousand agents sent out into the field to go and actually arrest bad guys, not like Donald Trump family members. That's it, Dan? No, that's not even close to it. The FBI was really restricted on how they could assist local law enforcement on state crimes where there was maybe not an immediate federal nexus, but there could be. It's a fancy way of saying the FBI, they couldn't really help in a lot of cases. We rewrote the manual within guidelines because I thought it was overly restrictive and allowed FBI agents to go and, and use agents and our technology tools for tracking and surveillance tools. These local police departments, many didn't have. They were now for the first time allowed to go out and do it. And you know what we did? We put together a list of high priority areas and flooded people out of headquarters, plus stop offices like in Memphis and elsewhere, and basically went to the locals and said, I kid you not, folks, I was in these meetings and a lot of congressmen and senators were there too. So don't tell me it didn't happen. Especially in Tennessee. The senators won't say that because they were Republicans and they were in on it. They were in it. We sat in a room and said, give us a list of your 200 worst bad guys. Why? Because when I worked in the NYPD under Rudy Giuliani, we figured out that a very small number of bad guys does. The overwhelming proportion of violent crime engages in it. If you take 500 violent dirtbags off the street, the crime rate doesn't plunge by 1 or 2%. In many cases, it plunges by 50 and 60% like you're seeing. Because how many criminals do you know? The answer is a lot of you don't know any. Some of you grew up with a kid that broke bad. But I can guarantee you in the Chat, less than 5% of the chat knows anyone convicted of a murder. Probably less because it doesn't happen often. That sounds like common sense, Dan. It wasn't. The FBI was busy investigating Donald Trump. So we reform the whole use of what they call UFAP warrants. This is really important. It's a story no one in the Washington Post will tell you because they don't care. It's not that simple. Unlawful flight to avoid prosecution enabled us to go and interact with locals. I'll tell you another thing we did. We stopped obsessing over who got the credit. Is it a federal arrest? Local? You know what I told the SECs in my calls with them? I don't give a shit. As long as the bad guys in a prison, I don't care who gets the credit. Isn't that what matters? Media is like, you guys are taking credit for state arrest. That's the point. We're helping the state go lock people up who are begging. Do you idiots miss this? Finally, President Trump's decision to use Title 8 to get illegals out of the country en masse in massive deportations. That, yes, are still happening. Look at the numbers. Don't buy the rhetoric. Got so many criminals out of the country in an unprecedented move. It changed the entire crime landscape in some cities. Don't tell me what didn't happen. I was there. These people are just full of shit. And the Washington Post. I don't know. It's not that simple. It really is. Jerk wads. Then you got this other piece he just put up on the screen. Financial Times. Nothing is happening, Doomers. There's no reforms. Nothing's happening. The deep state still really it is. Then how come the Financial Times is complaining about us draining the deep state? Both stories can't be true. Correct? Donald Trump is dismantling US guardrails, Warns former security officials. They're upset that people who had politicized and acted unethically in their jobs have been removed at the FBI and the CIA and elsewhere. They're pissed off about. I don't feel like which stories true. Nothing is happening. There's been no reforms. Or the Financial Times and the left wing media complaining about all the reforms which you think Donald Trump got an office a second time and start dicking around. This is why the exhausting. I can't encourage you enough on your social media. Just mute it in your brain, man. When you see in all the dooming and grifting. Just mute it, man. It is only an operation to get you to not vote. I'm telling you, it's the sideline. Stanley's out there. They'll never run. They'll never put their name on a ballot. They'll never ask for a position where they can go. They won't do any of that stuff. They just want to complain. Folks, the truth matters here, right? We are fighting a really almost in at least this modern era, unprecedented effort by socialists and Commies to hijack a party in record time. The socialists have been around forever, let's be clear, but the establishment Democrats have usually had a better lid on them. I'm going to talk with Vince about this in a few minutes. You know, we have Joe Biden as President because Bernie Sanders would have been the Democrat nominee if Jim Clyburn and other establishment Democrats hadn't stopped Bernie by shutting him down in South Carolina, where they thought black voters in South Carolina would vote for Biden more than they would for Bernie, they shut him down. The establishment Democrats, I'm telling you, have lost all control. Now Ben Shapiro's got a really good post up today, like don't take from Wisconsin last night. Like, the establishment Democrats have won. They're back in control. They are not. They are not in control at all. Socialists have completely hijacked and taken over the party. It's where the money is, it's where the energy is. We are against fighting right now against an unprecedented political opponent. And people on Folex MAGA are faking it on our side are trying to destroy our movement. So we lose to these idiots because they have the same goal to destroy the country. They do. They have the exact same goal. Truth matters, folks. You cannot build a movement built on lies. And one of the. I said to Jasmine this morning, this clip is so important. How I miss this, I don't know. I was scrolling around ex yesterday and I came across Jesse Arm, who was on cnn, who did an amazing job. He's debating this liberal as Keith Boykin. And this is really a super important clip here. Jesse Arm asked the critical question you should ask of any liberal. And I'll tell you why it matters in a second. Don't gaff this off. Is objectivity, in other words, just truth? Inviolable truths? Right. Objective truth is objectivity. White privilege. Watch the answer. If you understand this, you'll understand what we're up against. Check this out.

[B]

Smithsonian was promoting document to be upheld around that time period, 2020, 2021, whatever. It may have been suggested that objectivity was a tool of white supremacy. I think we can all agree that that is facially ridiculous. And you think objectivity is a tool of white supremacy?

[A]

I'm not going to interrupt you. I just want to say you presume things that were not true.

[B]

Do you believe that objectivity is a tool of white supremacy?

[A]

Well, you said we can all agree on something. I'm just saying we don't.

[B]

Can we all agree that objectivity is

[A]

a tool of white supremacy? It requires a longer discussion we're going to have in the six minutes we have.

[B]

So what?

[A]

I just don't want you.

[B]

But you interrupted me to make that point.

[A]

Because you made an assumption about me that's not true.

[B]

So is my. No, I'd like to know is your assumption. I want you to continue. You interrupted me.

[A]

So I'm giving you the opportunity to weigh in. I've never met, I don't think Jesse arm, but Jesse. Amazing, amazing job, enormous capital H T for hat tip. He understands something you need to understand too. We're not, we don't even need to get into like a big long eloquent explanation. Democrats do not believe in rules. Rules would be what would be called an objective truth. Like you know, thou shalt not kill, whatever it may be. Because Democrats don't believe that. Because Democrats need to kill. Come on, Dan, they don't know. The modern socialist wing of the Democrat party, believe me, subscribes to the same ideology Stalin did Mao that wiped out hundreds of millions of people. I'm not. That's not debatable. That's just a fact. You're either dead or you're not. They wiped out hundreds of millions of people. You can't have an objective truth. That's why the Democrats hate faith and they hate family. Because they're in a source of objective truth. Family values inviolable rules over time which dads have handed down to daughters and sons. Church teachings like don't steal from your neighbor. The Democrats want you to steal if stealing works. That's not true. Remember the George Floyd riots? You guys remember the theft? They're like, they're just stealing necessities. Some 300 pound lady walks out of the store with like a Rolex that's on a necessity list yet a 55 inch flat screen. Exactly. Objective rules pen them in. Democrat socialists don't care about any rules. So therefore any rule is going to be classified as white supremacy. That clip is super important hat tip Jesse for doing it. I'm going to show you what I mean. It's why they constantly run away from their own records too. They don't believe in anything but power. And if you have to be exterminated or wiped out or jailed to get there, they'll get there. Put up that Kaczynski thing. This guy Andrew Kaczynski does plagiarism, like research and stuff at K file. Uh, I think he works for cnn, but I'm not really sure. But he says new before launching his campaign. El Sayed removed 100 plus YouTube videos from his 2024 through a 20222024 account. Transcripts show him floating, replacing the Second Amendment urging an end to July 4th fireworks blasting GOP's Focus on the border. His campaign says they don't reflect his beliefs today. That's so weird. Anyone in the chat change your beliefs before President Trump got elected again? Anyone? I guarantee anyone in the chat you believe in the second Amendment, prosperity inducing tax cuts, right? You believe nothing's changed, right? Why do they change their minds on everything the minute they win an election? The answer is because they don't believe in anything but power. They will flip you the double battle middle finger and lie to you. Objective truth, values, rules and principles are all white supremacy to them folks. They're like freaking chameleons. They're just bullshitting you. And I'm glad that UAW worker who's just figuring out that Medicare for All that is shitty government health care is going to steal your Cadillac plan you bargained for. Where did you think this was coming from? It's coming from your pocket and you're going to pay for it too. The beatings will continue until morale improves. That's also why you get these shape shifters and chameleons on the Democrat side who will never stick to any rule because they need to break them to put you in prison. That's why you get people like Jasmine Crockett. In one of my favorite segments, if I'm overdoing this, let me know. But I can't get enough of it. I asked the guys yesterday, I said, you got to put together another voice. I can't listen to this one. First of all, it's good to see

[B]

you in the new year. You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin. Now looks like a little bit over a year ago that I would be running for Congress, feeding kids, allegedly. Let me put the allegedly on there, y'.

[A]

All.

[B]

I mean like there's a lot going on. Like putting water on his. He was doing a lot. I'm just saying, like there's a. There's a lot of nonsense that's popping off in papers.

[A]

Voices of death. Why do they do that? The answer is because they will never stick to any rule or principle or character projection or speaking stuff. They, they will change on a dime to get you to believe stupid shit so they can take away your health care, put you in jail or do whatever they need to do to you to enhance their power position. Am I doing enough, folks? Is this too much, yes or no? I can't get enough of these voices of Dems because it's everywhere. Once you notice it, you can't like unnotice it, you know? I guess I know. That is. That's a good one. That is. I saw it yesterday. The mom Dottie one too. Exactly. Thank you. Everybody in the chat seems to agree. Motley's in the chat. Justin Pearson one's pretty good too. I gotta tell you all the AOC when she's doing the southern accent, that's. I don't know. That's up there too. The AOC one that was hilarious. Like all, all of us, all of a sudden she's gonna be. She's gonna aoc is gonna be singing Dixieland the light that at the Iron Ball. Freaking hilarious. Get lost here. I want to make my point too. This is. These guys spent a lot of time. This is really funny. Coming up, I want to play this first. There's an interview with Hannity the other night from this guy down. I think he's in the Boca, Boca Raton area of Florida where I live. This guy Oliver Larkin, who's like a socialist. The guy's a clown. But I love Fox for putting these people on because every time they go on the air, they always expose how stupid they are. So I have this segment coming up and we're calling it Dems, Dems pretending not to know shit. We blank like that shit out. But I just said, watch this guy. He's asked a very simple question by Hannity. And it goes back to my point, Jesse, arm made. The Democrats will never give you a rule, a principle, a number, some law. Because they got to. They can't have any restrictions on them obtaining power. This dude is asked a simple question by Hannity. You want to hike taxes on these people? Just give us a number. I mean, you're running for office. You should have a number in your head. He deliberately pretends like not to have the number because his number is everything. And he just doesn't want to say it because the rule would pen him in. Check this out. Somebody making 100 grand a year, how much of every dollar should they be able to keep? I think that the tax rate on most middle class Americans and Oliver, give me a number. It's not how much out of every

[B]

dollar should they be able to keep

[A]

cable news, but 100 grand. No, I don't think that we should be how much every dollar should they be able to keep? It's a simple question. How much, how much are you Willing to let the government take how much? Give us a number. I want to see a return on our tax taxpayer investment. We give us a number, somebody works hard, makes 100 grand a year. How much of every dollar should they keep

[B]

the.

[A]

I'm not interested in changing the tax rate on middle class Americans on people making 100 grand.

[B]

I want to raise.

[A]

Give me a number. How much out of every dollar should they keep? That simple. It's not that simple. You're the one that wants cradle to grave to the tomb. What they put into the system, folks, this is deliberate. This guy, Ali Larkin, whatever his name is, he knows exactly what he's doing. He's pretending not to know something. The number is everything. They want to take it, but they can't tell you that. So they can't put a rule or a number in place that would pen them in. He could have said anything. He could have said I want 75%. But he didn't say that by choice because it's not 75% of your wealth. It's all of it. They don't want an objective truth out there. They want to subjectively treat everybody different depending on if you help them or get in their way. That's why they do this. Now I have not seen this, but I came in yesterday, Haley show was still live. I didn't even. I thought they were recording something. I walk in, I'm like volley gagging around. I'm like, this is live. So you didn't see me on a camera. Cuz I did like a little ninja move. But I come into the thing like an old decrepit ninja, more like it. I'm like, I don't exactly move smoothly, but I'm like, guys, we gotta put this together for me because I just watched this clip. I'm like, I'm really tired of Democrats and socialists and others pretending not to know shit when they in fact know exactly what they want to say and they just lie about it. I say, can you put together a segment. So I have not seen this yet on Dems pretending not to know shit. Check this out. Wow.

[B]

If my daughter is assaulted and raped,

[A]

is there any agency that would seek to find her assailant? What would it be if not police? And where would he be if not a jail?

[B]

So I guess I really, I really want to avoid getting kind of caught into these hypotheticals.

[A]

Do you believe Americans are better off

[B]

than they were four years ago? So I was raised as a middle class kid, another co founder. You guys have admitted that you're Using the infrastructure the party has set up for ballot access. You're not actually Democrats. You're using the process that's already in place to gain power. Well, we would ask everybody, including voters of the Democratic Party, of what. What are Democrats? Any questions?

[A]

Questions on the subject for our colleagues? Anybody? Okay, well, that's it. Hearing no other questions. Thank you all so much for coming. They're already paying 34%.

[B]

No, I think that if you deal with the quality of their lives. My question was, how do you plan to work with these folks if. If they win their seats, which they are expected to do. They're in deep blue districts, but they've opposed the people that you supported. So how do you plan to work with them? Well, I plan to continue to support every single House Democratic incumbent. Do you think that socialism is a winning brand for Democrats across the country?

[A]

I think first and foremost, I go back to the days of Tip o'.

[B]

Neill. All politics are local.

[A]

Hassan Piker, who obviously endorsed Abdul El Sayed. He's somebody who said that America deserved 9, 11. Is he somebody that should have a role in the progressive movement going forward?

[B]

You know, I think when we look

[A]

at our elections that have happened. Well, that's it. Hearing no other questions. Applause in the chat for the excellent Dan Bongino, Inc. Bongino report. Whatever we're calling this company these days. Congrats. That's the first time I've seen it. Not a gimmick. Good job. That is excellent. Better than I thought, guys. I didn't even see that, Nancy. But anyone have any questions? Yes, we all with no further questions. Thank you. Motley's in the chat. Little round of applause for my team. Really good job, guys. I really appreciate that. I just want to throw this last story out there, too, because do you guys. You guys watch a lot of these streaming series and stuff like that? So, you know, sometimes my. My wife and I will be sitting around and, well, watch these. She loves these crime shows. So one of these shows we watched that I thought was interesting for a while was our Friends and Neighbors. Have you ever seen the show? It's about this. This dude that, like, robs his friends and neighbors and Jon Hamm. Yeah, it's a kind of funny show for all the wrong reasons. But when you're watching the show, this kind of ties into my earlier thing about things we did at the FBI. What the hell? No, seriously, like the technology enhancements in crime fighting and law enforcement, folks. Some we can talk about, obviously, like, camera technology's gotten better and Things like that. Some we can't, but the tools are incredible. I'm gonna tell you, like, it's gonna get really hard to commit crime in the future. My big concern is civil liberties. And we worked on that a lot. We did a number of things. You know, FISA reforms, guardrails at the bureau. I mean someone else could shake em up. But you know, we fired a bunch of people who didn't have the same thought process, you know, on following the Constitution that we did. But technology to find you if you're a bad guy, DNA technology is getting so advanced with AI I'm going to tell you in the future it's going to be really, really hard to commit a serious crime and get away with it. Like, why are you bringing this up? Because I saw this fascinating piece in this outlet. What is it, Mercury, that crime writers like fiction novelists who are writing these crime stories, they can't, they don't know how to write these books anymore and tell these stories because it's impossible to get away with a murder when cameras are everywhere. The reason I bring up our friends and neighbors. You ever seen it, Justin? Like he. They have to incorporate into the story this little tool. It shuts down the wi fi and the cameras because nobody's gonna believe it. And then I. There's this one scene I want to explain. Guy breaks in the house, whatever, he's running down the street because an alarm made it an account for one off. And I'm thinking like, dude, really? You know there's a thousand ring cameras catching them here too. Like it's impossible to believe. No one's going to be able to write crime dramas. Here's what's going to happen. Everything is going to be set in the 80s. The 80s and the 90s are going to become iconic. It's going to be the halcyon days because everyone is going to have. That's before ubiquitous technical surveillance. Uts we call in the FBI. You're not going to be able to write a freaking story set in 2025, 2026 or later anymore. I think about that all the time. Every time I watch a movie I'm like, that's B.S. a thousand ring cameras would have caught that. He left the. He left trillions of DNA particles all over the place.

Welcome back to the show for his bi weekly appearance, the king of morning podcasting, 8am Eastern time every single day on [e-mail] Vince one of the biggest live stream audiences in the country, certainly at that time, Vince Colonnades. Vince, welcome back to the show. Good to talk to you.

[B]

Thank you, brother. Good to see you, man.

[A]

Always good to chat with you, man. You, you know, I think you being in the D.C. ecosystem and you're on one of the most prominent radio stations in the country and wmal, for those who don't know, WMAL is the big talk radio station in Washington, D.C. they dominate the market. There really aren't a lot of natural competitors there, which isn't the case all over the country. Why am I telling you that? Because when you're on that station, you're really like talking to lawmakers. So it punches way above its weight. But I think that gives you also, Vince, because a lot of these lawmakers I know contact you and want to be on the show because it's in a D.C. market you have a pretty good feel for kind of like when you're sniffing out some media bullshit. And I noticed yesterday you put up a post on X about the Secret Service story and President Trump and the catering truck in Turkey that I had addressed yesterday and on today's show. And I think you kind of nailed it. Like media people, this story's not about you, man. You don't have to be there to cover the press. It's optional. You don't like the danger, go home.

[B]

That's right. No, I, you know, I, as I was looking at the story, I was thinking, you know, if I had the opportunity to go on a trip like this, and I know you've been on many trips like, like this with, with presidents of the United States. And no doubt in the process that, you know, you got Paula one, hoping that you're, you're safe and that you're okay, these types of things, you know, if I told my wife like, hey, I'm going on a reporting trip, the White House said that I'd be able to go to Turkey. I guarantee you the first thing my wife would say is like, do you have to go? Could you stay here. I want you to be safe. In other words, like, everyone who's involved in this would know the risk. Everybody. Like, it's not like some mystery. Like, the idea that there's an assassination attempt on President Trump is also not a mystery. The media just survived one, Dan. There was an attempt at the White House Correspondents Dinner. It's not like it's brand new information. And so when you get a story that says, oh, people are trying to kill President Trump, duh, we've all been watching it over and over and over again. But this idea that the media is presenting that, oh, like we had no idea, oh, and President Trump almost got us killed. We were sitting ducks. Sitting ducks. You're sitting on an Air Force jet protected by the United States military and the Secret Service. You are inside of a very heavily fortified protected area. To the extent that they could protect anybody, the fact that they established even an even more intensive mode of protection for the President of the United States is a sign of the Secret Service doing the right thing. It's not a story about you being the victim, you morons.

[A]

And it's just the egos, Vince. It's just, I mean, it's so repulsive to listen to them again make a story about themselves. And just one more angle on this. I was going to move on, but I just. Story just fascinates me so much. Not just given my background, but given my time dealing with the media. You and I deal with media people, a lot of really good folks, a lot. However, would you agree with me, like, you've had other jobs too. There's probably not as a percentage of egomaniacs in a space, a field with bigger egomaniacs than media, I would even say larger than like Hollywood and musicians. I swear to you, like the media people out there, when their egos are so out of control that their argument now is like, well, we should have been read in on the security procedures and, and how dare you keep this secret from us when the same media leaked the story about potential security issues on the trip. Are you guys for real? You want to pull whatever hair you have left out of your head?

[B]

Well, this is why trust in media has reached rock bottom. Because the point of the media enterprise, as enshrined in the First Amendment is to speak truth to power, is to provide a check on the government's abuse of power. And unfortunately, a lot of modern day journalists have turned this into a gigantic narcissistic exercise. They get access to a camera and a microphone and Twitter and then they Decide that this is a story about me and how do I become rich and famous. And you know, the truth is you can become rich and famous if you do it the good old fashioned way. Like just deliver news and information to people, actually deliver what they're seeking. But instead a lot of these guys are just delivering sort of this like drooling, sort of navel gazing garbage. And that's why people don't trust the media anymore. Are there good people out there? Yeah, I just, I just had Matt Miller on my, my podcast this morning. A guy is reporting on the inner workings of communism and the dsa. He's doing great stuff, but he's doing it the old fashioned way, which is he's going in there, he's doing the hard work and he's exposing the truth. That's what these people should be doing.

[A]

Yeah, I mean the formula is not hard and you're correct. You know, when 80% of the public just doesn't trust you to get out the facts and you're, your actual job is just to relay facts so people can form an opinion. I'd say that's a definition of you failed and like the hashtag, you only had one job and you kind of blew it. So moving on, last night, big electoral shakeup. I mean, I think there's two big stories here about the Wisconsin primary. Francesca Hong, obviously a socialist, self described, in many cases socialist. She loses in a huge upside at if you believe the polls. She was up by double digits in many polls, loses to Crowley. But I don't want people to forget that Abdul Al said in Michigan was also up huge in the polls and barely got through his primary for the Senate race in Michigan. Him being a devout kind of socialist, although he hides it maybe a little better, more of as an Islamo nut based on his rhetoric. But the polls, I mean, they've been a problem for years now you're starting to see like on the Democrat polls for Donald Trump, everybody always threw him in the garbage, no one ever believed him. But now you're even seeing a problem on the Dem side with this. Is it a cell phone issue? Is it they're just not knocking on enough doors? Are people not answering landlines? Is it a skewed sample set? I mean, is it all of it? What are your thoughts?

[B]

I think it's a combination of all of these factors. On the polling thing. If you talk to pollsters who do this job for reasons Neil, who are sincere people trying to gather data, it's become more and more difficult through the years to actually poll people. And the reason for that is, I don't know, you ever get a call on your cell phone number, don't recognize the number, you're like, there's no way I'm answering that. There's no way I'm answering that. And nobody answers it. In fact, your phone probably flags it as spam these days. So people just don't answer these calls. And so the ability to get somebody on the phone to assess their. Their actual views, it's difficult. And the most enthusiastic lunatics tend to be the socialists who will get on the phone and start screaming, screaming about how much they love the socialist candidate. So you're right, there is some of that is going to be just. It's very hard to pull this. And in fact, in Wisconsin, this Francesca Hong, she was up by over 20 points in every survey. It wasn't just one survey. This is not like some sort of, like, you know, this is a weird one. All of them, she was up 20, 25 points. It was crazy. That's why last night's result comes as such a staggering sort of, like, reversal of what everybody expected based on that survey data. But here's the thing I'm taking away from this, Daniel. I think one of two things is going on here. Either one, the polls were catastrophically wrong, which could be the explanation, or two, that the establishment Democrats employed their usual election shenanigans to try and stop a candidate that they didn't have control over. I. I think that it is a massive problem, and it should be a massive problem to everybody that in Milwaukee county last night, where, by the way, the county executive of that county just won the race. He's the guy. They were. They had all sorts of problems with over with five USB drives in the middle of the night. They couldn't count the votes. They couldn't download them. Steve Carnacki was on NBC News looking like a complete idiot, just staring at the screen, being like, I have no idea what's going on. And I keep saying, we need election integrity. There should be no circumstance where people are suspicious of elections like this. And the thing I'm looking forward to right now, Dan, is, is what happens over the next 24 hours. Does AOC and company did they finally start coming out going, I kind of think we need the Save America Act. Something weird's going on in Wisconsin. Yeah, something very weird is going on in Wisconsin. Either the polls suck or elections just rigged in another election. Democrats rigged another election, and neither scenario is good.

[A]

I'm pretty sure you and I have actually discussed this before, how that whole like Michael Anton theory that, you know, until you are personally invested and you experience pain. I'm not talking physical pain, but the pain of loss in an election, emotional mental pain. Until you're personally invested, nothing is going to change. And I'm pretty sure we chatted about this, how this save act, eventually voter fraud, potential voter fraud, or suspicion of voter fraud, which I would argue does the same damage. People just don't trust it. This is suspicion alone is enough. Oh, missing hard drives, whatever. It could be totally innocent. That's not the point. The point is people don't trust the result. We've sad like this is going to eventually affect you. And I think that's a brilliant point. Like, at what point did Bernie Sanders and AOC go, hey, we demand a recount, we think it was stolen. Then all of a sudden, you'll see stuff change.

[B]

Well, Bernie's weak. Bernie's pathetic. That guy, that guy, he comes out, he talks a big game about socialism and how he loves it and all this stuff, but in the end, really, the guy's a freaking pushover. Because in 16 and 20, the Democrats did rig the race against him in both cases and he still sucks up to them. And he will, he'll, he'll adopt their talking points. He used to be for borders, now he's against them. Now he's for amnesty for illegal aliens. That guy sucks. He doesn't. Even on his own, even judging him based on his own principles, he, he's, he's just garbage. He's a coward.

[A]

And so remember when they locked him out, South Carolina, Clyburn, and they tried to get Biden in? I mean, they screwed him. That's what I always laugh with these socialists. Like, yeah, we're going to run with the Democrats. They'll eventually become our buddies. They screwed you over too, man. The Republicans didn't screw you over with Bernie. The Democrats did. They lock them out.

[B]

And like, look, I think part of this is that the Democrats, Socialists of America people, the DSA people, I think they're trying to play a bit of a long game here. They really, since their founding, their, their whole mission was to take over the Democrat Party. So this has been a decades long process. We are seeing some of the fruits of it right now. They've, they've made a tremendous amount of ground in terms of capturing that party and its power. But, but man, I tell you, the reality, of course, is like that party is just eating itself. That revolution is very much inside of that party right now.

[A]

Well, that again, teed me up perfectly. My next question was going to be about, you know, voter turnout. This is always an argument on the Republican side. It's an argument for, for any major political party. There's always going to be intraparty schisms. Not everybody's an automaton npc. But the Democrats have always said, oh, look, you Tea Party guys, you're always fighting with old school Republicans and MAGA people versus Libertarians, as if like we're all a bunch of, again, robots or something like that. And we're not. We just have different opinions. But generally Republicans will show up and come home around elections. I'm not always, but they. Well, I mean, Donald Trump, you know, winning multiple times is pretty much, I think, evidence of that in the national level. We've done pretty well in the Senate. We have the House. Despite having the media, academia and all them against us, we still win. We don't win all the time. But now I think we can turn that same question around to the Democrats. The socialists, Vince, are crazy. The Tea Party folks were not. They were very rational. We're going bankrupt, stop spending money. Nothing they said was crazy. The stuff these people are talking about abolished the Senate, abolish the presidency, abolish ice, defund the military, is suicidal by definition. Do those crazy, illogical people actually show up for the Dems? With Crowley now in Wisconsin and with other candidates that have beaten, in rare cases, socialistly, the answer is I don't think so.

[B]

Well, we'll see. Here's the thing that stands out to me, Daniel, you're right about the reinvention of the parties. You know that there's oftentimes some sort of equivalency made about like, oh, well, the DSA is taking over the Democrats the way the Tea Party took over the, the Republican Party, the way Trump has taken over the Republic or Republican Party. It's kind of, there's a mixed bag actually, with that assessment. One, it's kind of true that basically somebody with a different ideology is beginning to dominate within a party that didn't have that ideology. That's true. But it is possible for somebody like President Trump to come in and make the party better, and it is also possible for the socialists to come in and make the Democrats worse. And both of those things are definitely happening. And as Trump in particular, and Trump voters have reinvented American politics, one of the realities now is that the low propensity voters are on our side. Dan, the working guy, the guy whose life is consumed with trying to figure out how to feed his family and less consumed with the day to day of American politics. He's on our side, you know, Trump, President Trump has non college educated voters on his side. The El Sayed just won because he got the people who went to college and had their heads filled with all sorts of left wing propaganda and it went into on average $43,000 in debt a person. They're now all completely bitter over the fact that they don't have any marketable skills, they're in massive amounts of debt and they're looking to use the government as a means to get their government get back. That's, that's what's happening. It's not a fight for the working class. It's a fight for over educated, you know, propagandists who are virtue signaling on the backs of the working class as these communists always do. Like no, like if you really were fighting for the working class, you wouldn't kick the borders open, you would fight for American workers. But that's not what they're doing at all. They're kicking the borders open, screwing over American workers and pretending like it's a working class revolution. And so there's a lot.

[A]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. There's so much in what you said. I just don't want to miss one point you made because it's really important. I want that you audience to kind of get a brain tattoo over it. The shift initially, there's no question initiated by President Trump from an old stodgy, bow tie wearing Republican party to a working class Republican party of people who use their hands and their brains for, who add value and change the world. Carpenters, electricians, you know, tin knockers, steam fitters, union workers. He did that. There's no question about it. There's no question about it. He definitely transferred, which is ironic. A real estate billionaire was the one who finally got it and had his finger on the pulse of work in class America. Because he's in the buildings with a hard hat dealing with electricians every day who are like, hey Mr. Trump. That's why he was dealing with in New York City. Vince. I saw it. Sorry to be long winded at this setup, but this is really important. I saw it in New York City. I grew up in New York City. When Donald Trump was the guy, he, he was dealing with unions with the city, he was dealing with mobsters trying to shake people down. Like he had to learn to talk the language of the people. I bring that up because having the working class as your base, low propensity voters that can show up and swing an election, they're not going to be the middle class anymore. Vince, you're seeing these cloud compute centers where Electricians are making $250,000 a year h vac guys going forward who have a small business that now use AI to take a picture of a unit. Oh, look, that's this. We're going to fly a drone and he's going to be able to charge like half as much because he's out of there. And to blow up his business just using AI. They're going to be millionaires. And a lot of these women's studies, basket weaving, you know, 19th century urban studies majors who have no freaking skills at all are gonna have no place in this economy. They're gonna be overeducated idiots. They're gonna be the ones beneath the income scale to the valuable dirt under the fingernails using your brain. Manual laborers who are now our base, not theirs.

[B]

Yes. And that's why, I mean, if you think about what is happening in America, Democrats have orchestrated all of this. I mean, in terms of the destruction of that class of person. Like they told people, they said, just go to college. Just go to college, you'll be guaranteed a job. Nobody's guaranteed a job. You got to work your ass off. It doesn't matter if you have a degree or not. You got to work. You actually have to work in order to succeed. That's the way it works in America. It's one of the great promises of America. You can do it under your own volition, under your own power. Doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. And yet they basically told all these people, just go to college, you'll be fine. You'll get, you'll get guaranteed income. They go to college, they get their heads filled with nothing but nonsense, they end up with massive amounts of debt. They get out of school, and now they're bitter, they're full of all of all this resentment that they were sold a bill of goods and they've been trained to hate capitalism in the process. That toxic stew results in a bunch of people who are now virtue signaling about how much they love the average person, the working man. And yet they're just basically trying to steal from the rest of us in order to, to make up for their terrible decisions. And that's just what we're watching. I'm pretty convinced of it. I actually think that they do. I mean, people, a lot of these socialist people, they do have a problem. They're in massive debt. A lot of them are in massive debt and they have nothing to show for it. And now they're angry about it. And like, I just think the big problem was government funded, all of this in the first place. We were underwriting the cost of education. Education has been outpacing inflation for years. You've covered this, Dan. It's like. It's crazy. And for nothing, for no value whatsoever except for the destruction of America. Let's end that nonsense.

[A]

And the thing that kind of burrows like a tick under my skin is I'm not mad at you because the system, whatever you want to call it, promised you something. Hey, go to college, work hard. Some of them did. Some of them chose, you know, 19th century urban studies or whatever. Maybe they were interested, I don't know. Not every one of them is liberal. A lot of them are. And social media sciences. But I'm not mad at some. Some kids are just idealists. They're like, oh, I'm gonna go change the world and write a thesis about urban studies. And. And they came out, and now, like you said, they're 200,000 in debt. They were offered maybe a $50,000 a year job as an assistant somewhere, you know, which, you know, 20 years ago, adjusted for inflation, may have been okay. But now because the government spends all this money, they're hurting. What I bothers me about is not that. What bothers me about it is they don't lift and shift like you and I throughout our lives, in our multiple careers. Some things work out, Vince, some things don't. I've tried experiments with things. I've had books that did really well. I've had books that didn't do really well. I wrote a whole book about flopping and things. Decisions I made that didn't work out. Tried to get into medical school, I couldn't get in. I went to business school instead. What bothers me about it is the flexible, gritty people, the folks listening to this show, you, the listeners out there who get it, the working class folks, they've had to adjust. Maybe they had an H VAC business in New York and it didn't work out, so they moved to Florida and focused on air conditioning. And now they're millionaires. That's not what. The over educated progressive lib wearing the bow tie, lecturing all us about how stupid we are. That's not what they're. They're just sitting back whining and taking out their rage in the election booth.

[B]

Well, yeah, and Then they're teaching the youngest generation that there's no such thing as earning success or, or doing what Dan did in this world. It's not possible that all fortune is ill gained fortune, that all land is stolen, that look around you, we have nothing to be grateful for. It's basically a politics of despair. And it's meant to cultivate a power grab. It's meant to get you to surrender all of your agency because no matter what you do, you're never gonna succeed. So just give all your power to the government and we'll make sure your happiness comes from the government. And we know what that experiment looks like. We've seen it play out, especially over the last century. Over 100 million people have died due to this ideology, killed by their government. We don't want that here, which is why we're trying so hard to fight back against it.

[A]

Vince, last question for you. So you know, one of the things I think that's really going to damage the Democrat brand going forward is not forcefully distancing themselves from this super socialist fiasco. It's clownish. I mean it's buffoonish. But it's also obviously very dangerous. Things like abolish ice, defund our military, just again, suicidal by nature. The problem they're going to have and this ties into what we've been discussing is as the working class American that makes this country move everyone from grave diggers to other. I mean people who just work for a living and use their minds and their hands to create. They see through this stuff and this insulated academic bubble. A lot of these over educated, you know, white Karens and you know, brands and whatever. My name's Dan. People hate that name too. So don't. I get it. It's always the number one name people. So I'm with you, I get it. You get the points. A joke laugh, okay? But a lot of these over educated Brads and stuff out there, they live in this bubble where they just talk to each other and really don't get it. The working class folks who used to be like union type Democrats, this is a toxic, toxic brand. I mean if you can't win in Wisconsin when you're up 20 points in the polls, which is, you know, a purple state obviously, but still you should be able to, you know, get the gusto going with all that money and support she had and all the free media, if you get smoke like that, despite being up 20 points in the polls, this should be a harbinger, like hey man, this is not your future. You better make a hard break now.

[B]

Yeah. And this needs to be a reminder to Republicans that they have a great hand to play. You have a wonderful hand to play, which is like, look, we're not these lunatics. But in the meantime, that's not enough. You can't just say, look how crazy they are. Your obligation is to fulfill the Trump agenda, which is, hey, I'm going to secure your borders. I'm going to improve the state of this economy by getting the government out of it. I'm gonna make it unfettered so you can actually succeed in this country and I'm gonna fight for you. The Republicans should be doing that. So this is one of the reasons it annoys me so much that the United States Senate's on vacation right now. Now some of these senators would be like, well, I'm actually home campaigning. Ok, yeah, whatever. You know what the best campaign would be if you were actually succeeding? The best campaign is doing stuff. Yeah, just deliver from me, baby. All I need you to do is deliver. The bare minimum. The bare minimum. Here is the Save America Act. That's so crazy. It's like pulling teeth to get them to secure elections. How many more reminders do you need? We just saw it in Wisconsin. They can't even get the USB drives counted. Can you give them. Give me some election integrity. Make the case against the Democrats who keep running this country down into the dirt.

[A]

Yeah, I'm stunned that they didn't do more with that. I really am very disappointed. A lot of good Republican senators that Mike Lee has been busting his ass on it. So I don't like collective guilt because it's not true in this case. But a limited number of people out there, you know, Murkowski and others, just chronic disappointments have just ruined it for the whole brand that it's really sad because it was such a no brainer almost by definition. I mean the polls are overwhelming even Democrats. Vince Colonnaise, you know him, you love him. If you're not joining him every day at 8am on the live stream, you can watch him on demand anytime.
