Episode Overview

In this episode titled “Awareness,” Dan Bongino explores the deep personal and societal consequences of waking up to uncomfortable truths about government, media narratives, and the growing conflict between populist and socialist ideologies in America. Through a blend of commentary, example clips, and debate highlights, Bongino urges listeners to recognize the "ops" against them and the necessity of standing against manipulation, even when it's difficult or isolating. He emphasizes that "awareness" is both a burden and a blessing, drawing on classic ideas, recent viral clips, and memorable anecdotes. The tone is candid, combative, and at times reflective.

Key Discussion Points and Segments

1. Defining Awareness: The Curse and the Clarity

[00:02–03:43]

• Dan opens by discussing the importance—and pain—of true awareness. He distinguishes between simple perceptions ("the beautiful colors in the sunset") and the deeper recognition of societal manipulation.

• Discusses how cliches often contain truth, e.g., "ignorance is bliss," and why knowledge often isolates individuals from the mainstream.

  “Once you become aware of it, I know it's hard, but…you’ll be vindicated if you're following online what's going on with this deep state corruption…Now it's all starting to make sense, isn't it?”
  — Dan Bongino (03:17)

2. The Price of Seeing Too Much

[07:56–09:48]

• Plays a powerful spoken word clip from Russell G. Banks on Nietzsche’s idea:

  "Any man who knows too much can't fit in anywhere. And that's a curse of awareness. Once you start to delve underneath the surface ... you can’t go back ... an awareness, it isolates you. And it's a price of clarity."
  — Russell G. Banks (08:14)

• Dan reflects on how online discourse and media attacks have revealed the real agendas people hold, reinforcing the necessity of independence.
• Highlights the pain of standing against the crowd but underscores the importance of doing so.

3. Everyone Has an Agenda

[11:26–12:15]

• Explores the Wall Street Journal’s story on Central Park horse-drawn carriages as an example of hidden agendas—animal rights, property interests, activists—present in every controversy.

• Quotes Thomas Sowell: conflict is inevitable because “everybody is a rational maximizer trying to make their life better.”

  "Once you see it and become aware of it, you will be the better person for it."
  — Dan Bongino (12:15)

4. Cancel Culture and Ideological 'Ops'

[12:38–16:43]

• Features a dynamic debate about cancel culture, recalling Soviet-style oppression and files:

  "The government would let you know who the big boss was … Cancel culture was a Soviet Stalin-esque movement to stop anyone from speaking about objective truth."
  — Dan Bongino (13:20)

• Critiques those who move from right to left as rare and motivated by self-interest, but sees a broader trend of disillusioned leftists waking up to "the right's longitudinal truths."
• Sharp comparison between socialism/communism’s promised good and their actual track records of human tragedy.

5. The Populist Movement vs. The ‘Current Thing’

[03:43–06:48, 17:01–17:22]

• Frames the MAGA/populist movement as “the most dangerous populist movement on the Republican side we've seen in 50, 60 years” (03:59), making it a target of orchestrated attacks and coalition-building from the left and establishment actors.
• Warns, “We can't let…America needs every one of us in the fight.”

6. Socialism and Government Rationing — Debate Highlights

[18:39–25:32]

• Plays clips from Martha MacCallum's interview (VA as an example of socialized health care) and Daniel DiMartino (who fled Venezuela):

  “All of the public things in America lose money, have subpar customer service… The DSA is an organization that supported the destruction of Venezuela…”
  — Daniel DiMartino (20:07)

• Discusses government inefficiency:

  “$34,000 to educate a kid in New York City and they can’t freaking read.”
  — Dan Bongino (24:59)

• Critiques public sector failure, high taxes, and damage done by socialist policies.

7. Awareness in Action: 'NPCs' & the Media

[27:30–34:33]

• Analyzes recent media clips showing socialist candidates openly embracing defunding ICE, the military, and other “radical” policy positions.
• Satirizes the notion that "ignorance is bliss" in the policy sphere:

  “In that case, it’s just pure stupidity.”
  — Dan Bongino (31:31)

• Ties ignorance to threats from hostile ideologies like Islamism and communism.

8. The War on Family, Faith, and Objective Truth

[48:22–54:50]

• Runs viral clips of a Yale professor and an MSNBC commentator arguing that children do not solely belong to parents, but to the collective or the community:

  “If you genuinely believe because of your…faith and good, you know, good parents…that all men and women…are entitled to dignity and God given rights…that’s a conflict with government…”
  — Dan Bongino (48:49)

• Asserts these narratives are part of a deliberate long-term leftist strategy to break down the nuclear family and independent moral authority.

9. Generational Divide and Anti-Boomer Sentiment

[54:21–59:14]

• Rants against the "boomer" meme as a tool for socialists to turn the young against older generations:

  “Your parents…your grandparents…they’re not worth listening to…It’s a disgrace.”
  — Dan Bongino (55:04–55:10)

• Emphasizes respect for the experience and sacrifices of previous generations, telling a moving story about his own grandfather’s service in WWII.

10. The Trans Debate: Power vs. Reality

[59:14–62:49]

• Argues that the trans debate is less about trans individuals and more about enforced relativism and government power.

• Highlights Clay Travis’s $10M basketball challenge as a case study in media deflection and the war on “objective truth,” e.g., biological sex differences.

  "Notice how they have to blind you to objective truth and pray that a sense of awareness never kicks in."
  — Dan Bongino (62:42)

11. The ‘Doomer’ Grift and 'Ops' Against Populists

[63:06–67:00]

• Warns of a coordinated disinformation campaign—“doomer grift”—aimed at undermining MAGA/Trump-aligned figures.

  “They are going to turn on every single person in the Trump administration as their power in fol ex maga gets challenged and they get exposed.”
  — Dan Bongino (63:14)

• Plays a clip illustrating how even allies like JD Vance aren’t immune from attacks as political narratives shift.

12. Receipts, Results, and Vindication

[67:00–70:54]

• Presents a press conference from FBI Director Kesh Patel on historic successes in extradition and law enforcement cooperation under Trump.

  “It is a direct result of President Trump’s relationships with foreign governments that allow us to work in spaces we were never permitted to work before.”
  — FBI Director Kesh Patel (68:52)

• Sharp contrast between results-oriented leadership and "nothing is happening" narratives.

13. Final Reflections & The Importance of Not Being Phony

[71:22–74:05]

• Taunts Democrats for changing their voices to suit crowds, contrasting such fakery with Trump’s authenticity.
• Ends with a witty merchandise plug:

  “Stupid is a choice. And then for your liberal friends on the back, don’t be stupid.”
  — Dan Bongino (72:46)

For Listeners New to the Show

This episode offers a comprehensive look at how Bongino perceives the battle for American culture, values, and power—not just in the headlines but at the deepest social, family, and personal levels. It’s a call for critical awareness: to question mainstream narratives, recognize manipulation, honor the wisdom of past generations, and remain unafraid to stand alone in pursuit of truth. If you’re looking for classic Bongino, this is a signature blend of alarm, encouragement, and battle cry.

Transcript

[Dan Bongino]

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. Awareness, Awareness. So I saw this clip yesterday right after the show. When I do the show daily with you, 10:00am to 11:15, 11:30, depending on if we have a guest or whatever it may be, I go in and I start looking for material for tomorrow. And I saw this clip from some kind of spoken word performance. I thought it was a movie. When I'd first seen it, it was rumbling around X, but it's not. It's about becoming aware. Awareness. Awareness of the things around you. I don't mean necessarily like aware of the beautiful colors in the sunset, although that's a beautiful piece of awareness too. It's folks, if I can just be candid with you, opening up the show.

[Paul]

You know, cliches are.

[Dan Bongino]

People mock cliches. But sometimes, as I've ironically said, often cliches can be valuable at times because they speak to timeless truths. And when people say a cliche, everybody gets it. So when you hear a cliche like, you know, ignorance is bliss, sometimes it doesn't mean it's right or wrong, but sometimes not knowing things is bliss because you can just go along with the

[Paul]

crowd and there's absolutely no pain or

[Dan Bongino]

suffering from having to kind of stand up by yourself against the crowd of sheep and say, stop, you're walking off a cliff. And I don't mean like physical pain or I just mean it's not easy to not be the current thing guy because there's a lot of power, influence and money trying to get you to believe the current thing. Or as I say, often they want you to believe a story and not the story. But I saw who is in the chat. Is it someone said in the chat, I love the Hot 8 mama or something great, great chat name by the way. Said something like, Dan, thanks for seeing around corners for us, folks. The show has been successful for over a decade now. Not because I have, you know, I belong in the Avengers and have some Professor X telepath like mutant powers or, you know, Jean Gray if you watch this Spider man movie. I don't. I just think I read people really well and being perpetually online doing show prep because I'm neurotic about it. I see these things as they start because I know the accounts to follow and I see exactly what they're doing. And once you become aware of it, I know it's hard, but I'm sure, I promise you over time, the folks who've been loyal supporters of this show the P1 audiences, Bongino army out there who've been with us 10 years, 5 years, 10 years. Some of you, from the beginning, I promise you'll be vindicated if you're following online what's going on with this deep state corruption and some of the recent reporting from John Solomon and others. Now it's all starting to make sense, isn't it? But I thought the Doomers told you nothing was happening. No, the Doomers are the ignorance class. They don't know anything. And you're going to see that, I hope. Now that awareness is all starting to make sense, I want to show you the clip.

[Unknown Female Speaker]

I'm.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm talking about a minute. It's short, it's about a minute, but it's definitely worth your time. I got a big show for you today. A lot happened yesterday. Obviously, given some of the stuff I been involved in, I have to be careful now talking about it as it becomes more public. I can comment on it like anyone else in the media. If it's public, it's public. But you'll see you've been misled by a bunch of people who want you to think like an NPC and fall for the current thing. Because the current thing is attacking this MAGA movement because it's the most dangerous populist movement on the Republican side we've seen in 50, 60 years. They need it to fall apart, folks. It feels like our country finally has some momentum again with many of us fighting to restore common sense and America first. But we've seen this before and you see what happens. Sometimes we can get comfortable out there and the left starts taking back ground inch by inch by inch. Next thing you know, we're back in an abyss again. We can't let that happen. America needs every one of us in the fight. A big part of that means supporting companies that support us, but proudly. Patriot Mobile has been with us from the beginning. They're a proud partner of the show, have been for a while. I use Patriot Mobile. Guy uses Patriot Mobile. Paulie uses Patriot Mobile because it's great service, not just because they have a great message.

[Paul]

The service is good too.

[Dan Bongino]

Both help. Patriot Mobile gives you premium priority nationwide service on any of the three major US networks. So you get the coverage you need when you need it. Plus unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming and a 100% US based customer support team. Switching's easy. Took us just a few minutes. Keep your phone, keep your number, activate in minutes. I can attest to it. Did it myself. But Patriot Mobile is so much more than great wireless service. They supported a growing movement of Americans defending faith, family, freedom and the future of this country. They donate millions to organizations fighting for our freedoms. Thank you Patriot Mobile. Go today to patriot mobile.com dan or call 972-patriot use promo code dan for a free month of service. That's patriotmobile.com dan or or call 972 Patriot to make the switch today. All right fellas, let's go. By the way, correction, Paula was the one on the phone on speaker with Patriot Movin. But I promise I was right there listening to the less than five minutes it took to transfer both of our phones. It was quite an experience folks. Awareness again. I hope it's all starting to make sense now and you're starting to see how many of you have been played by a coalition of doomers and left wing media people who are eager to destroy this MAGA movement cuz it's a threat to their very existence. Their donor networks, their activist networks, their NGOs. They can't have that happen. This is the most powerful political movement you've seen in America in a long time. Regardless if you like or can't stand Donald Trump. I think we know where I stand on that. Regardless of where you stand, I think it's pretty clear right now that this populist movement is a real threat to the tyranny of the insiders folks. However, if you want a friend in Washington D.C. as I learned, I think sometimes a very difficult way. What do I always tell you?

[Paul]

Jasmine, get a freaking dog. Get a doggy. Jasmine, get a dog.

[Dan Bongino]

You want a friend in D.C. josh, don't laugh. You may go to D.C. one day and I'm going to tell you before

[Paul]

you leave, you want a friend in

[Dan Bongino]

D.C. get a doggy.

[Paul]

I don't care what kind of dog. You get a Lucy dog. A little golden doodle, mini golden dude who loves Jasmine.

[Dan Bongino]

By the way, I hear there's a

[Paul]

wood floor in the studio and Lucy can't stop when she starts. She like slides across the floor into Jasmine.

[Daniel DiMartino]

Ah.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't care what kind of dog you get. Lucy does like Josh. Josh is quite a photographer. Josh is taking some pictures of Lucy. They look fake. They're coming as you know, the picture frames now I kind of knew that. But I want you to watch this. This is from a. What is this? Russell G. I don't know this guy at all. I don't really care.

[JD Vance Supporter]

I don't.

[Dan Bongino]

Russell G. Russell G. Banks. I want you to list this minute or so about awareness and how ignorance can be bliss. But once you process what I'm telling you, that everyone's got an agenda. Everyone has an agenda.

[Paul]

I'm not necessarily saying that's a horrendous thing.

[Dan Bongino]

In many cases, your agenda might be

[Paul]

a really great thing. It might be freedom, faith, liberty, pro

[Dan Bongino]

life, the Second Amendment. But once you recognize that, it's hard to go back. Check this out.

[Russell G. Banks]

The truest words was from Nietzsche when he said that any man who knows too much can't fit in anywhere. And that's a curse of awareness. Once you start to delve underneath the surface, that's when you realize his whole world is not. Not so simple. And you start to notice who people really are in the games they're playing and that fake confidence, all the ulterior motives. And you realize this whole society, it's built on lies and people, their sheep. And once. Once you see that, you can't unsee that. So you. You try. You try and tell people, but they say to you, no, no, you're overreacting. You are crazy. So you stop talking. But you're still observing. You're still watching. But you know you don't belong anymore. And it's not. It's not because you. You think you're the. You're too good for anyone. No, no, no. It's because you've seen too much and you're watching everything. And now you know you can't go back to how it was anymore. An awareness, it isolates you. And it's a price of clarity. Because the crowd say, move away. But then at least you know who you are.

[Dan Bongino]

That one kind of hit me hard because I watch people now, I mean, online and elsewhere. And they don't know me. They don't know anything about me. They don't listen to anything I say, despite the fact that I've said it a thousand times. But they have an agenda. And one of the greatest gifts of the last year of my life, year and a half, is an awareness. No matter how painful it's been to listen to all, like, the bullshit out there, knowing the. Not only that it's not true, but the opposite is true. But, man, was it a gift. And I so, so deeply appreciate it. Folks, it's not easy to stand alone with this stuff. I bring this up because you're seeing this massive movement in the fol ex maga side on the right, and there are people inside the government right now, very powerful, who insist that I'll be the last one to have My head cut off if I just leave these people alone when I've told you over

[Paul]

and over because I am fully aware

[Dan Bongino]

of what's happening, that it is only a matter of time before they turn on you too. I'll show you later in the show what I mean. Ignorance may be bliss and it may be easy, but it's not right. I told you. And now you're starting to see as information comes out and it trickles out slowly but surely, you're starting to see that almost everything you've been told is bullshit.

[Paul]

I put. I put up for you the other

[Dan Bongino]

day that Wall Street Journal story about the Central park horse drawn carriages. What the hell does that have to do with anything?

[Paul]

Because everything. Everyone on every side of that horse drunk. What do you care about that? For every single thing you've been told about that argument is someone with an agenda.

[Dan Bongino]

The one guy wants the horse stables and is pretended. It's about animal rights. The animal rights group is saying they were abused. Al Vets are saying or not Abuser.

[Paul]

Everybody has an agenda. That's just the way the world works, folks. It's Thomas Sowell's conflict, divisions. The left thinks everybody's pure at heart. I'm not telling you everybody's evil. I'm just telling you everybody is a rational maximizer trying to make their life better. And once you see it and become aware of it, you will be the

[Dan Bongino]

better person for it. Here's the article right there.

[Paul]

Forgetting the doomers for a minute.

[Dan Bongino]

I'll get back to that in a little bit.

[Paul]

I want to show you what awareness

[Dan Bongino]

looks like when you've been an NPC falling for the current thing for years.

[Paul]

And you start to realize that the bullshit has flowed over you too. And you almost can't wash it off.

[Dan Bongino]

This is Tim Robbins on the Joe Rogan Show. Tim Robbins, you know it was Bull Dorum. Famous actor, Shawshank. He's been in a ton of movies, goes on and on. Tim Robbins a pretty hard left guy. Correct.

[Paul]

I want you to watch what it

[Dan Bongino]

looks like when he realizes that Lefty driven. Cancel culture. He doesn't mention it. Start on left.

[Paul]

But it did.

[Dan Bongino]

You remember Cancel Culture. Talk about masks. Talk about COVID Talk about the 2020 election. Malfeasance.

[Paul]

You were canceled. I was banned from YouTube for telling

[Dan Bongino]

you cloth masks don't work.

[Paul]

You look it up. They don't tell me like, oh, you go look it up yourself.

[Dan Bongino]

I always bring the receipts.

[Paul]

Cancel Culture was a Soviet Stalin esque movement to stop anyone from speaking about Objective truth so that the government would let you know who the big boss was. And a lot of lefties who claim to be about tolerance and coexistence showed they were full of shit, that it

[Dan Bongino]

wasn't about coexistence at all, it was about subjugation. This is what it looks like though, when the curtain parts and you're exposed, sitting there like the emperor with no clothes. Listen to this.

[Guest or Interviewee]

Was the uptake on the vaccines in Romania. And they said something like 40%. I said, well, how do you explain that? And they said, well, we lived under the Soviet Union for many years, so we know how to look like we comply when we're not complying. And I said, what else reminds you of the Soviet Union? They said, without a doubt, cancel culture. I said, why? I said, well, Soviet Union used to keep files on all of us, right? So as long as you're a good party member, there wouldn't be a thing said. Yeah, but once you stepped out of line, they brought out that old file. Now that affair with your secretary from 30 years ago, it's going to ruin your life, they're going to ruin your family, they're going to kill your career and they're going to make a big public display of it to show other people to stay in line. And they felt like Cancel culture was basically operating in the same way as the Soviet Union did. And it was really interesting to see that perspective in Eastern Europe.

[Dan Bongino]

All of a sudden you're seeing the Bill Maher's of the world, the Van Joneses of the world, the Fettermans of the world.

[Paul]

People like this starting to realize, like,

[Dan Bongino]

gosh, I've been ignorant to this the whole time.

[Paul]

And then when you see it, you know, you almost never. It happens, it happens occasionally.

[Dan Bongino]

The. What's the guy? There was a guy out there, David something, I forget his name. Brock, probably Brock.

[Paul]

You. Occasionally you see people on the right float to the left.

[Dan Bongino]

It's very rare, but it happens. I'd argue like David French, another one like why? What motives? I don't know. Everybody's got an agenda. I just said that.

[Paul]

But you see a whole shit ton

[Dan Bongino]

of lefties who move over to the right. I'm not telling you Tim Robbins is a conservative at all.

[Paul]

I'm just telling you when they start to see that the right is about positions and longitudinal truce, chronological truce over time. And the left is all about bullshit and faith in an argument that has never worked. Socialism, Communism. It's a really brutal wake up call. I mean imagine, imagine waking up Every

[Dan Bongino]

morning or waking up one morning, I

[Paul]

should say, looking in the mirror and find out that finding out every single

[Dan Bongino]

thing you thought about yourself that was good was fake.

[Paul]

Folks, that's got to be hard. We all have the potential for, for

[Dan Bongino]

bad actions and evil in us, all of us.

[Paul]

But a lot of us are just good folks.

[Dan Bongino]

Net present value good.

[Paul]

We do more good than bad. We would hope. Imagine learning everything on your spreadsheet of

[Dan Bongino]

good versus evil on the good ledger was all wrong and was not only not good, but was downright evil. I believe in communism, socialism, all this stuff.

[Paul]

I'm the good guy.

[Dan Bongino]

I want equity and equality and all this other shit.

[Paul]

And then you find out that what you've supported actually does the opposite. It destroys people's lives. It leads to gulags, prisons, torture, poverty, famine, and has every single time it's been tried. Imagine what that looks like. Folks, I don't really get this criticism

[Dan Bongino]

a lot, but it comes across occasionally that, man, you focus on this socialism stuff a lot. Folks, it is the battle of our time. I said yesterday on Jesse Waters show on Fox this right now, what you're living through is the break glass moment. This is not a fringe movement anymore.

[Paul]

You've got people running for office with a podcast host out there talking about how he's not bothered by the savage brutal rape during a terror attack of women. You're not bothered by. It doesn't change anything for you.

[Dan Bongino]

It pains me to ask this question, but what if that was your mom, God forbid, or your sister? Oh, now it's personal. Can't say that. No, I, I can. God forbid it was, but what would that change anything? Or is that ideology, that evil, so strong in you that you can't look at the man in the mirror like a freaking Michael Jackson song or something? You can't even do that. Folks, this is the kind of stuff we're dealing with. The break glass moment is here. I want to play a couple more clips from that amazing Martha MacCallum interview between this really ridiculous female DSA socialist actor and Daniel DiMartino. He's coming on the show right next Thursday. So I'm looking forward to that. Who does an excellent job. His family's from Venezuela.

[Paul]

Has seen socialism, the deprivation, the torture,

[Dan Bongino]

the political arrests, the silencing of individual big, our God given rights.

[Paul]

He's seen it up close and personal.

[Dan Bongino]

I want to play clip number one, where she cites an example of socialism success. And stunningly, as socialists simultaneously attack our Pentagon, our military, our war fighters, and say we should Defund the Pentagon. Oh, I got that coming up, too.

[Paul]

What did she do? She uses you and your valor and courage. You serve this country. You're not making squat.

[Dan Bongino]

No one in the military is getting rich.

[Paul]

Nobody. Even the three, four stars they make decent. I promise you they're not making Elon Musk type money. Nobody in the military. You did it because of one reason, and that's it. You wanted to serve. You had the balls to go in. Imagine using the military you hate as a socialist. You want to defund them and get rid of them as your argument for government run rationed health care and doing it with a straight face. Play the VA clip.

[Dan Bongino]

This actually happened. Check this out. One really great example is the VA and the health care that we provide through the va. Really?

[Socialist Opponent]

Yeah, I do.

[Daniel DiMartino]

How many veterans have you spoken to? Now, there are VA systems who do well. There are others where people are waiting months and years for care and they served our country. But, Daniel, I'm going to let you jump in.

Yeah. We already have many socialist systems in America. The va, the Indian health system. We have public housing. We have Amtrak. I just got delayed an hour and a half on Amtrak. We have usps. All of the public things in America lose money, have subpar customer service. Because the truth is they're not accountable to the consumer. They can just get a bailout from the government. And that is the problem with the government. That's what they did to my contribution. Venezuela. They destroyed the richest country in Latin America. And the DSA is an organization that supported the destruction of Venezuela. Your team Francis traveled to Venezuela to support the dictator of my country that 8 million of us fled. And then now you come to America and say, let's do it all over again. I promise you, we are different.

[Dan Bongino]

Retro whiskey in the chat says, quote, I'm a vet. I'd rather take my own tonsils out with a spoon than go to the va.

[Paul]

The va.

[Dan Bongino]

Now, the Trump administration has made significant strides to va. Have you

[Paul]

actually spoken to any veterans? Besides the fact, by the way, some customer survey, just to be candid with

[Dan Bongino]

you folks, because I.

[Paul]

Again, I. My receipts are legitimate even when they don't perfectly enhance an army. I'm not going to sit here and bullshit. There are some VA surveys that turn out pretty well.

[Dan Bongino]

There are some places there's retro whiskey. There are some places in some VA's around the country where people are satisfied. I'm not here to bullshit you, but

[Paul]

there are a lot where people aren't. A lot, a lot where they feel

[Dan Bongino]

like their care is rationed by time

[Paul]

and also to the DSA people. You what you're lobbying to defund our military to crap all over our military institutions, which are the finest people among us who serve. Who, who serve with. Selflessly, with no sense of self. It's the, it's probably one of the. I mean, think about this, right? How many jobs do you go to work every day?

[Dan Bongino]

I certainly don't where you think, like,

[Paul]

I'm going to die today. That's the military. These guys go out there every day with the guns pointed at them and you're using them as an example, as if they didn't sacrifice. If there was ever a case for the government to support a body of people do collective taxpayer action. I'm not telling you it's efficient. I'm saying that's. That's the example you use. What are you going to do next? Call for like required service, A mandatory draft?

[Dan Bongino]

Disgusting. Using our vets for your socialist cause. Total bullshit. I want to play one more clip from this and I want to show you just another shocking interview from Hannity

[Paul]

just hammering down this point that these people talk out of the both sides of it. So we should support our veterans now with the va, which by the way, our veterans deserve support. You'll get 100% agreement for me. Oh, but we should defund them and take away their money and their salaries. You can't have it both ways. What's it like to wake up every morning and know you're entirely full of crap?

[Dan Bongino]

But more importantly, what's it like to not be aware of it and to sit there and have this force fed down your throat and you just buy it? What's that like? I want to play the second clip from this. This is another good one. I love that interview so much. It's very rare. I play the whole thing. I broke it over. I broke it apart over two days. But this one's worth your time, too. And again, a debate between a just clown of a socialist versus Daniel DiMartino does a really good job. Check this out.

[Daniel DiMartino]

Right now, the United states spends about 60% of our entire budget. Every one of us pays 60% of each of those dollars on welfare. What percent of the budget would you like to see? Go to more social programs, grocery stores, all of this stuff. How much is enough out of everyone's taxes?

[Socialist Opponent]

I mean, what we're doing right now is not enough.

[Dan Bongino]

What we're doing right now is not even cutting it.

[Daniel DiMartino]

But we're see how much fraud is in the System. Have you been following these fraud stories? Have you followed what happened?

[Dan Bongino]

I think that the stories of fraud are wildly overblown.

[Daniel DiMartino]

Oh, really?

Why do you say that, Frances?

But forget about fraud. The average public school in New York City spends $34,000 per child per year. And in many schools, the majority of kids graduate without learning anything. They're not proficient in math or reading. Should we still be spending 34,000? How much money is enough? How much more of our tax dollars? And then the DSA supports ending or defunding the Department of War. I mean, do you just want us to be invited by China? Is that what the agenda is?

[Paul]

Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a tweet

[Dan Bongino]

coming up at some point in the show today from Stephen Moore on X.

[Paul]

You pay more of your money to

[Dan Bongino]

the government in the form of taxes

[Paul]

than you pay for almost any other product or service in your life or food. All of it. What are you getting for that? These socialists want more. $34,000 to educate a kid in New York City and they can't freaking read. You know what was on yesterday? Ever see that movie of Morgan Freeman

[Dan Bongino]

about Principal Joe Clark up in New Jersey?

[Paul]

It's a true story.

[Dan Bongino]

Lean on me. I used to love that movie. I've watched it probably 100 times. It popped on my TV yesterday and I just sat there like, fixated on the screen.

[Paul]

They can't freakin read. That's a line he gives to the student, the school union, the board, and they can't read. $34,000 to educate a kid who can't read or do math. And you want more?

[Dan Bongino]

Make sure we get to that more tweet later.

[Paul]

You spend more of your money on government than anything else and what do you get? What? What do you get? I'm asking you in the audience a question. I'm not trying to be an asshole. What are you getting for it? Social Security is going broke. What do you get your garbage picked up twice a week? Okay, great. You could pay for that. Privately, the town could get together. You guys could do something with your hoa. What do you get? What are you getting for that? You're getting private security or the police sitting outside your house every night. You're getting personal fire services where people are coming to your house every day going, hey, how are your firelands? What are you getting for that? Most of your life is spent paying for government that flips you the double barrel middle finger and gives you nothing for it. What are you getting for it? Nobody does this about any other product or service you buy. Nobody spends money on cybersecurity to find out there's a cybersecurity infiltration into your network every day. And your information is stolen. Completely fails. We're spending money on students who can't read. You would fire a private tutor who you paid for your entire adult life to teach you to read that couldn't teach you to read. You would fire a cyber company if there was a cyber infiltration into your business day, but not with government. They just want more. It's a freaking parasite on your life.

[Dan Bongino]

I haven't seen Laser Dan had in a long time.

[Paul]

It is a freaking leech on your skin that won't go away. You can't peel it off.

[Dan Bongino]

And they want more and more and more. I got more coming up. I want to show you this Hannity clip last night from another DSA candidate

[Paul]

who again, ladies and gentlemen, just says the quiet part out loud. They're not hiding it. The awareness component of this, that sometimes painful, it's tough to stand up when you've got a group of, you know, younger folks who've been indoctrinated into this telling you, you know, mom, dad, it's not cool. Socialism's cool, mom, dummy's cool. He's got 100 different voices.

[Dan Bongino]

More on that later.

[Paul]

These are the cool kids, the AOCs. Sometimes it's tough and painful to tell them, you know, Bobby, Brenda, whatever the

[Dan Bongino]

hell your name is, that's bullshit.

[Paul]

You've been lied to.

[Dan Bongino]

Awareness matters. Wake up now. Wake up now before the cell door closes on you. It's only a matter of time before they come for you. Quick break and I'll show you what I mean on the other side. Wake up now. I'm telling you, once that cell door locks behind you, it's going to be the loudest sound in the world.

[Paul]

You know what I've learned over the years?

[Dan Bongino]

The harder something is to navigate, the more likely it is that people just give up. That's exactly what happens with healthcare. It's one of the reasons I use and recommend all Family pharmacy.

This is what a lack of awareness looks like when you're just the NPC current thing or and you believe in things like freaking bumper stickers like coexist

[Paul]

intolerance and everybody's wonderful. If we defund the police and we send the social worker, nothing's going to happen. They're going to go in There. And if they have to, maybe they'll use foul language, but God forbid anybody

[Dan Bongino]

has to use a gun or. Or mace or pepper or anything like

[Paul]

that, because people are generally all good. That's going to get you killed.

[Dan Bongino]

We don't need a military.

[Paul]

We should take money out of the

[Dan Bongino]

military and just give it to people not to work because we just don't have enough social welfare in the United States.

[Paul]

We'd be invaded by China tomorrow. Ignorance isn't bliss.

[Dan Bongino]

In that case, it's just pure stupidity. Ignorance, stupidity. Same thing. Watch this clip from Hannity last night with this other lunatic who didn't even know Sean's name. He called him Scott. This guy was a Chris Rabb, another DSA candidate. And I told you, I've got a great source up who knows the swamp quite well, who said, the Democrats are freaking out right now over all the media appearances by these socialists because every time they go on tv, whether Fox

[Paul]

or elsewhere, they say stupid shit.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Paul]

You want to abolish ice?

[Guest or Interviewee]

Absolutely.

[Paul]

And dismantle the immigrant concentration camps.

[Dan Bongino]

Do you want to defund the Department of War?

[Paul]

We need to radically reduce how much money we're spending with the Pentagon.

[JD Vance Supporter]

Absolutely.

[Dan Bongino]

Our war budget is radically larger than

[Paul]

every other country combined. I thought they loved it. Did they not put.

[Dan Bongino]

You all right there, geek?

[Paul]

I thought. Andy. I thought they loved the VA and our war fighters. Andy, what is a va?

[Dan Bongino]

What does a V in VA stand for?

[Paul]

You know, he's taking a shot.

[Dan Bongino]

He's taking. That's very good.

[Paul]

I like it. I like how on the spot, it's a live show. He didn't even hesitate. This is a hard question. He's taking a flyer.

[Dan Bongino]

He had to look it up.

[Paul]

He said, I think it says veterans. Veterans, meaning.

[Dan Bongino]

What does that mean exactly? People who've entered the military.

[Paul]

He's confused. He's like, I don't. He's like, Let me ask. ChatGPT. I thought they loved veterans. You just heard the DSA lady tell Daniel DiMartino that, hey, man, here's the best model of socialism for health care is helping our veterans. And now I just. I don't know. I just heard that guy say they want to basically, like, defund radically. He uses the word radically. Did you catch it? Radically reduce funding to the Pentagon, the military, the Department of War. It's just strange. It's almost like they're bullshitting you.

[Dan Bongino]

They want to defund ICE as well, because, I mean, who really needs people with guns at a border? I mean, that sounds really Horrible people enforcing borders. I mean, I mean we should just put up like a four way stop sign.

[Paul]

You guys ever see the four way stop?

[Dan Bongino]

Listen, stop at stop signs, you'll get yourself hurt.

[Paul]

However, folks, you know the four way

[Dan Bongino]

stop sign, a lot of people roll up and they don't make the stop

[Paul]

because they figure the other guy's going to stop with just a suggestion for

[Dan Bongino]

them most of the time.

[Paul]

Maybe we should make the border a suggestion too. If these DSA people aren't crazy, we should put a sign up. And you know what it should say, Andy? It should say, hey man, it'd be

[Dan Bongino]

a really good idea if you stop here.

[Paul]

But if you don't, don't worry, nothing's going to happen because there's no ice. And I'm sure because people are good,

[Dan Bongino]

people are good and ignorance is bliss and liberals have no awareness, I am sure everyone's going to stop and go, hey man, I read the sign. It says I really shouldn't commit. So I'm just going to turn around and go home. How are you falling for this,

[Paul]

folks? I never

[Dan Bongino]

shouldn't say never. I'm really disturbed that we're back. I thought with this growing movement on the right we now call maga. I never thought we'd be back here so quickly Back to this break glass moment where shockingly, despite the deprivation of North Korea, the complete collapse of the economy and Russia, anyone telling you otherwise is totally full of shit. The failure of the Soviet Union in the 80s.

[Paul]

I can't believe that we're back to

[Dan Bongino]

this spot again arguing about the unholy alliance between the Islamophanatics and the commies

[Paul]

when it's so obvious that you are

[Dan Bongino]

the obstacle to them and they want you wiped out. They talk about it all the time.

[Paul]

What's happened in Michigan with Abdul El Sayed is so shocking to basically normal voting American people who follow the political picture. They can't believe that it could put up the Mike Rogers tweet.

[Dan Bongino]

Mike Rogers is the Republican opponent in the state of Michigan against this complete nut bag. He says the money quote. This is Josh. Josh, Crash hour on X. The money quote from Mike Rogers again is the Republican running against Abdullah.

[Paul]

I had quote, I spent years hunting

[Dan Bongino]

terrorists and bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.

[Paul]

Never in a million years that I

[Dan Bongino]

think I'd be running against someone who believes America deserved 9, 11. I, I don't, I, I'm rarely at a loss for words. I mean it is a talk show, it's my job. But yeah, yeah, we're here. I told you in the beginning of the show. This is the break glass moment, folks. You have people who could potentially be voting members of the world's most powerful deliberative body, the United States Senate. There's no question about that. You have people like Abdul Al Said who could be in there, who believes that people jumping out of mega skyscrapers as they're on fire after they've been hit by Islamophanatic nuts and have, have, have, have the, the tongues of fire licking at them and they don't want to burn. Who jump?

[Paul]

Have you ever looked out of a

[Dan Bongino]

window out of a 50 story building

[Paul]

what that looks like?

[Dan Bongino]

Imagine double that. They jumped to their deaths to escape burning alive because of what some scumbag Islamo Nazis did.

[Paul]

And we deserve that.

[Dan Bongino]

And this person could be voting on issues that affect your everyday life and your kid. Folks, the moment's not tomorrow. The moment is now. Here's the first ad drop a campaign ad from Mike Rogers for Senate against his opponent Abdul Al Said, who is as big a nutcase as the Nazi tattoo guy who stepped aside up in Maine because his polls were bad. But the Democrats loved him too. He actually won. I want you to watch this and I want you to notice something about this clip. Did you guys notice this?

[Paul]

No. No Republican appears in this. This is just the Democrats in their own words.

[Dan Bongino]

Because that's all you need. Check this out here. To disavow people's views.

[Paul]

America deserved.

[Sean Farish]

9 11.

[Dan Bongino]

Dude, fuck it, I'm saying it. When I was in college I took a terrorism class.

[Daniel DiMartino]

You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm not here to disavow people's views.

[Unknown Female Speaker]

You know, I am in support of

[Paul]

abolishing isil because we're going to go

[Daniel DiMartino]

in there, we're going to impeach the.

[Paul]

Kill those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the street.

[Sean Farish]

Let the streets soak in their fucking

[Dan Bongino]

red capitalist bloods, dude. The people who listen to Hasan are engaging in faith. They want a way forward into our politics.

[Paul]

There are no Republicans in there. Let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood. That's a good point. He said he's confused folks in the chat.

[Dan Bongino]

What could they possibly mean by that?

[Paul]

They're being very cryptic.

[Dan Bongino]

Very cryptic. I hope you sense the dripping sarcasm and the awareness is there. I know, I know you do.

[Paul]

Just listen to them. Just listen to their own words. It's not a Republican. They don't need it. It's not, hey, here's what I think this guy said. Here's what he said. This guy could be in the United States Senate voting on issues like your health care, your education, your Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, all these issues that affect your life. They could be voting on that for you. Law enforce, federal law enforcement, the military. Imagine being in the military where you swore to protect and serve this country and you're running with a guy who aligns with people who thinks we deserved 911

[FBI Director Kesh Patel]

folks.

[Paul]

You ever heard this?

[Dan Bongino]

Where put up that France 24 piece, you know, geese at the beginning of the show. Well, this is from 2013. I said no, that's the point. Like it doesn't matter. This could have been written in 1700s. Taquia or the terrorist art of deception. You know what that is? It's where these Islamophanatics engage in the deception campaigns and lying to get you

[Paul]

to go along with the agenda so that they can cut your head off

[Dan Bongino]

because you're the infidel.

[Paul]

This is what they do. This is what the Islamo Nazis and fascists do who are aligning with the communists to get you out of the way. How he says, I don't know. Maybe we should listen to them when they say that the streets will be soaked in your capitalist blood. We should listen to. Man, you can't say that. I don't have to. They did

[Dan Bongino]

the key of.

[Paul]

It's kind of weird because the Islamo

[Dan Bongino]

fanatics, this is their thing, deceive the

[Paul]

stupid voters who will go along with us so we can cut their heads

[Dan Bongino]

off last after we've used them.

[Paul]

They're telling you that it's embedded in their ideology, in their fundamentalism. Have you never heard that term before? They're telling you we're lying to you. Here's the weird thing, man. The commies do the exact same thing. They may not call it that, but it's the exact same thing. The only way to get people, which

[Dan Bongino]

is the essence of communism, is forfeiting your individual liberty. That's what the collective is Nam chorios takia Islamic permission to lie to spread Islam.

[Paul]

The commies do the same thing. They're never going to get you to forfeit your individual liberty without lying to you to get you. No one wants to hand over their liberty. That's why jail sucks. Does anybody want to go to jail? That's not great. No. Why?

[Dan Bongino]

You get three meals, you get a bed. May not be the best meals. Bed may not be that cozy.

[Paul]

You don't have to worry about anything. Why does anybody want to go to jail? Because you have no freedom. And people don't want to give up their freedom. So how have commies gotten a whole bunch of people not aware of what's going on, no sense of awareness. How have they suckered them into believing

[Dan Bongino]

giving up their freedom is beneficial to their lives? Through strategic lying in the Art of Deception.

[Paul]

Here you want to see an easy one?

[Dan Bongino]

Cue up that Francesca Hong. This is another socialist running for governor in Wisconsin. I can't play this lady enough, cuz this lady's, I think, genuinely stupid. I don't think this is an act. I really do believe she's dumb. She's totally not extemporaneous. Can't think on her feet, she can't give an answer. She can't debate.

[Paul]

I mean, she fits in as a perfect socialist.

[Dan Bongino]

She's just dumb enough to fall in line. Remember she was asked the question about Thanksgiving. She's like, ah, man, Thanksgiving, colonizers, all this crap.

[Paul]

Now she realizes she's got to win

[Dan Bongino]

an election where Americans say, well, that sounds craz crazy.

[Paul]

And watch. The Art of Deception. She completely not only flips, but what's her favorite holiday?

[Dan Bongino]

You'll never. What do you think, Andy? He's like, not Thanksgiving. She just shit on Thanksgiving. No way. Got to be Easter.

[Paul]

No way. Okay, well let's see.

[Dan Bongino]

Let's see what she says. The Art of Deception. Check this out. Is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because I have it.

[Russell G. Banks]

Yep.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't want to cancel it. I actually love it. Andy stunned, he can't believe it.

[Paul]

It's like she lied to you. In the Art of Deception. Folks, the Unholy alliance, Islamophanatics and commies. They use the exact same footprints and tactics to get you and your individual liberty out of the way. Once you see it, you will never unsee it. However painful it is for you to wake up and realize you've been played like a Stradivarius. You've been played for a fool. I know it's hard. I can't even imagine what it's like, you getting up every morning and knowing you've been played for a sucker. But I'm sorry. That awakening moment will change your entire life. And it'll save you from the sword on your neck.

[Dan Bongino]

Neck. I promise that cell block, when that door closes behind you is not going to sound good. Reminds me of that Yuri Besmanov KGB defector segment. We've used so many times on this

[Paul]

show where he's crystal clear that the only way to wake some of these people up is. What's the phrase he uses, guy? A boot in the ass as they

[Dan Bongino]

lock the gate behind you. Folks, I'm going to take a last break this round. I want to play for you another important clip that I must say went viral but was all over X yesterday. There's an interview. I think it's Ross do that. And he's interviewing this Yale professor,

[Paul]

ladies

[Dan Bongino]

and gentlemen, Sometimes they just say the quiet part out loud. The way to get you out of the way first is also from collective government power, from being a subject to

[Paul]

the government, which is what communism and socialism is. Wake up. Stop.

[Dan Bongino]

Be aware. The only way to get you out of the way, in addition to gaslighting you, is to wipe out competitors to government for truth.

[Paul]

The only source of truth are going

[Dan Bongino]

to be government officials who are. You're their subjects. And two of the biggest competitors are religion and the family. And sometimes they just admit it. If you've seen this clip, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. And I mean like a treat on Halloween where the dude puts like, the razor blade in the can. Like that kind of treat. Last break. Hey, I've had a moment here when I decided, you know, the check engine light pops on and suddenly you've all seen this and you're doing the math in your head and you're like, oh, my gosh, the check engine line.

Hot 8 Mama said in the beginning of the show. Thank you Dan for seeing around corners. I got to tell you, as I've said many times, I don't say this out of a faux sense of humility. It's genuine.

[Paul]

All you have to do is read what they're saying.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm online all day. You all work for a living. I have to do show clips and

[Paul]

put the show together. I love being the Paul Revere they have. I've been saying this forever.

[Dan Bongino]

The left hates the family and religion.

[Paul]

Why the socialist left for no other reason than family and a religion. And religion can be the source of an objective truth that will conflict with the government. If you genuinely believe because of your

[Dan Bongino]

faith and good, you know, good parents, you had good parenting. That all men and women, black, Hispanic, Jews, muslims, whatever, all men and women are entitled to dignity and God given rights which Is what a lot of good practicing face. Not all, but good practicing face and

[Paul]

good parents will tell their kids then that's a conflict with government which wants you to treat people unequally.

[Dan Bongino]

No, they don't.

[Paul]

Yes, they do. That's the whole source of critical theory that you should treat the white male

[Dan Bongino]

patriarchy differently because there's the. They're the fountain of evil.

[Paul]

Not because of anything they've done, just

[Dan Bongino]

because of who they are. It's a conflict. They need it out of the way. Watch this Yale professor basically admitted that your kids belong to us, not to you. I'm not kidding. Sometimes they say the really quiet part really loud and you should pay attention. Check this out.

[Yale Law Professor]

I've gotten in some hot water for proposing we consider overweighting the votes of younger people or assigning the youngest eligible voters proxy votes for the unrepresented children of our country. So those are edgy. Why not assign them to those children's parents? Well, because there's a divergence of interests between parents and children. And I think it's likelier that young people, not people who are raising families, will have the best insight into the interests of children. Whereas you, if you were awarded five, I think that's. I think it's absurd to imagine that a 24 year old recent college graduate has a better assessment of the interests of my own children than I do. And I say this with all Due respect to 24 year old recent college graduates of whom I hope to be the parent of in nine years or so. I think parents generally confuse the interests of their family with the interests of their children. And part of our goal, I think, as parents, but also as a society, is trying to make sure that children aren't the hostages of their parents as much as we rely on parents to raise them.

[Guest or Interviewee]

Ah,

[Dan Bongino]

he doesn't say much during the show, as you know. He's like, hey man, this is pretty egregious,

[Yale Law Professor]

Folks.

[Dan Bongino]

You want to see around a corner? I don't want to screw this up, so I'm trying to be very deliberate. So forgive me. The pause is intentional. Remember Hillary Clinton's book It Takes a Village? No, it doesn't take a village. It takes good parents. Folks, this has been a generational war on moms and dads and nuclear families around the world by communists. Why do they want.

[Paul]

Why does this absolute imbe.

[Dan Bongino]

They. The very epitome of what we call on this show the stupid smart person. What is he, a Yale law professor or something? He's also the dumbest, you've seen in a long time.

[Paul]

We should overweight the votes of children and diminish parents. Why do they want the kids to have greater impact on society than you? The parents? Who? Why? Tell me in the chat the answer is obvious. Because they know kids just by the

[Dan Bongino]

force of chronological time, by no fault

[Paul]

of their own, do not have life experience and haven't actually practiced the things socialists talk about. So they know they're impressionable and more subject subjected more to propaganda, they'll be more impressionable. That's why they always target the kids. What? Remember we played the clip yesterday, the queer Theory lady saying we got to catch the kids early. Folks, this is not seeing around corners. I promise this show. I'm not Carnac from the Johnny Carson show or the stygian witches from the Clash of the Time. Give me the eye. I just listen to what they say.

[Dan Bongino]

What is it? All right, this is a surprise. Guy says he's got the perfect video. All right, I did not see. This is not part of our show rundown. All right, let me see which one. Play it.

[Daniel DiMartino]

Never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.

[Dan Bongino]

Thank you, guy. That, that was not part of the run.

[Paul]

That was an actual MSNBC prior to msnow ad. That was an actual ad. Your kids don't belong to you. Hillary Clinton says they belong to the village. So does msnbc. So does the stupid smart person Yale law professor. He actually said that out loud.

[Dan Bongino]

Now I said I was going to help you see around the corner. Go on X, Snapchat, TikTok and do me a favor. I'm serious. I'm not kidding. Just put in the word boomer. B O O M E R. Just put it spelled exactly like it sounds.

[Paul]

Oh yeah. You know what I'm talking about. Ladies and gentlemen.

[Dan Bongino]

You are going to see a ton of young folks out there being taught by socialists and commies that your boomers an insult. It's not a compliment that your 40,

[Paul]

50 and 60 year old parents and

[Dan Bongino]

70 year old 60 year old grandparents parents that they're not worth listening to.

[Paul]

They're out of touch they're the boomer gen. Just put it in. Put my thesis to the test.

[Dan Bongino]

If you think I'm lying. This is an organized op against young

[Paul]

kids to make them believe that people who made sacrifices for them, their parents and grandparents, are all a bunch of

[Dan Bongino]

old shit birds not worthy of their time.

[Paul]

Go look it up if you think

[Dan Bongino]

I'm messing with with you.

[Paul]

It's a disgrace. It's a disgrace. I'm going to tell the young folks

[Dan Bongino]

who listen to this show. I see them all the time when the rare times I get out, they

[Paul]

come up and say hello.

[Dan Bongino]

It gets me a little choked up because I don't have my grandparents around anymore. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be like emotional. Turn in my man card. But what I wouldn't give for one more dinner with my grandfather, Frank Bongino, who served in the quartermaster division in World War II. He was a truck driver. And because driving trucks was so dangerous, my grandfather used to love to race cars. So did my father, used to do Figure eight. So he was a perfect truck driver. They would race supplies to the front lines. He was in multiple theaters in World War II. And because it was so dangerous, they'd have to drive at night on very little sleep and sometimes without their headlights on, driving, by the way, with fuel cans in the back. The chances of you dying or burning to death were probably 5 to 10% on any given mission, depending on the danger. He never talked about it, ever. Is he a boomer? See one of those people you're talking about. You know, when I graduated from the Secret Service Academy down in dc, my grandparents came down, my grandfather. And because, you know, we didn't have a ton of money and we weren't like super poor, but we were like middle, lower middle class and my grandparents didn't have a lot of money. We all stayed in this big room. The Secret Service put you up in the Doubletree at the time in Alexandria. I don't know if they do it anymore. So we all just stayed in the same room. I slept on the couch and my grandfather, my father, I think slept on the floor, whatever. And my grandfather of course slept in the bed.

[Paul]

And in the middle of the night,

[Dan Bongino]

at 2 o' clock in the morning, I hear this blood curdling scream and nobody reacted but me, not my grandmother, not my father, they were like. And they just went back to sleep. The next morning I said to my father, I go, what was that about? He said, yeah, you know your grandfather. Happens once in a while. He just has some bad memories from World War II. And Boomer. The Boomer. He's a boomer, right? The awareness kicking in, you see in the op. Now you see it around the corner like I have for a long time. The nothing is happening op, the boomer op. Your parents are old birds. Your grandparents, they don't know. What do they know? They don't know, really. Ask him what it was like to be on a government cheese line in the middle of the depression. Ask him what that was like. No cell phones, no flat screens. Ask him what the coal miners with black lung before they had all these sophisticated air monitoring devices. Ask them what it was like to blast through mountains as they were building the transcontinental railroad. Your great great grandfathers. But I would couldn't give for just five minutes to hear what that was like Building skyscrapers in New York City before osha.

[Paul]

Oh, look, I trap fell. Ah, you're dead.

[Dan Bongino]

No harness,

[Russell G. Banks]

folks.

[Dan Bongino]

The OP is everywhere. I told you about that. I've warned you. I know it's painful sometimes to have to speak out and say, hey, man, I know it's not cool if you're like whatever the word is now, I don't know, I might hip to the lingo. I always like cool or edgy. To be a younger person and say boomers, you know, that's kind of effed up. I mean, my parents and grandparents did a lot for me. They weren't perfect, that's obvious. It's axiomatic. No one's perfect. No jam. But they've learned a lot from their lives. Maybe I should listen to them, or maybe at least ask them their input. Folks, the war on objective truth is everywhere. You see it.

[Paul]

They have to get anything out of

[Dan Bongino]

the way that conflicts with their government vision. And you are the subject in that new vision of the socialist. That's why this trans debate too matters so much.

[Paul]

Folks, it's not about trans people.

[Dan Bongino]

Yes, it is.

[Paul]

No, it isn't. It is a symptom of a socialist virus where they need you to question everything so government can give you the answer, just like government can tell you. Put this mask on, it'll stop. Covid, there's no evidence that ever happened again.

[Dan Bongino]

It's the condom that got everybody pregnant,

[Paul]

the face mask everybody got. Covid, the government could not give up the mask debate, just like the government socialists who support big government, just like they can't give up.

[Dan Bongino]

Men can be women and women can be men.

[Paul]

This trans thing, it's got nothing to do with trans. Or mask. It has everything to do with power to influence you and you listening and being.

[Dan Bongino]

Being a subject. I want to show you this clip. Clay Travis is a good friend, has a great show.

[Paul]

He put up $10 million to have

[Dan Bongino]

a WNBA team play a high school basketball team of his choice to prove

[Paul]

the point that men and women are not the same. They are not the same. It is obvious. It is a scientific fact. Xxxy Everybody knows it. Who's not crazy? The government. People out there believe in collectivism and subjugation. Can't lose this fight though, because if objective truth wins, everything else they tell

[Dan Bongino]

you is gonna be questioned. That's why they will die on this hill. Watch this local broadcaster humiliate herself attacking Clay Travis looks like a total tool bag trying to defend the fact that she thinks women can be men and vice versa. Check this out.

[Socialist Opponent]

The entire world of women's sports is facing the debate within its own leagues of who should get to play and who should not. And a voice that often shouts loudly in that debate is a right leaning outlet owned by Fox News called Outkick Sports. And today its founder took to a new stunt. One that really makes no sense if Outkick is really concerned about caring about women and women's sports. So Clay Travis, he's the man behind Outkick. He announced Today he's offering $10 million to the winner of a game of basketball between a high school boys team of his choosing and the WNBA defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces. I thought to myself why? But obviously the answer is because he thinks it is so impossible for any group of women, let alone the best in the game, that they could ever beat younger and more inexperienced boys. It's a thinly veiled sexist joke revealing the actual truth of how he and his organization feel about women's sports. It's not about caring about them. They think women's sports are a joke.

[Paul]

Nobody said that. Notice how the distraction kicks in.

[Dan Bongino]

Sexist.

[Paul]

This is all you think women are. A joke. Nobody said that. Clay Travis is stating a simple biological reality, that if you are a male,

[Dan Bongino]

your muscle mass, your skeletal bone thickness,

[Paul]

your VO2 max, in many cases your response time is going to be greater and lead to greater athletic output, which makes a competition between a man and woman unfair. Why do you think we have weight classes in boxing? Because force equals mass times acceleration. It's called physics. And If a guy's 500 pounds and falls on you, it's going to feel a lot different that mass than a guy at 200 pounds. In a grappling match.

[Dan Bongino]

Notice how they have to blind you to objective truth and pray that a sense of awareness never kicks in.

[Paul]

This is all an op, folks. It's all bullshit.

[Dan Bongino]

Now I mentioned this at the beginning of the show. I told you, moving back to the beginning when I talked about once you see the Doomer Grift.

[Paul]

And by the Doomer Grift, I'm talking

[Dan Bongino]

about these fol ex maga people, people

[Paul]

who you trusted for years and you're like, why did they change a turn

[Dan Bongino]

on us all of a sudden? Folks, everybody has an agenda. I don't know if it's money, unlike other people in podcast to stand. I don't throw out allegations I can't back up. I don't know. But I know there's an agenda there. Is it power? Self aggrandizement? But I told you and I'm warning everyone now that I'm back on the outside and people have started to kind of give me some really red flag warnings. They are going to turn on every single person in the Trump administration as their power in fol ex maga gets challenged and they get exposed. I said this to you yesterday and the second I walked in the office, it's like my phone was listening to me or something.

[Paul]

This clip, you know, the Young Turds.

[Dan Bongino]

You know Kank from the Young Turds. You've probably seen Kank, he's a delusional Islamo nutbag. I mean, you know, he's been a subject of ridicule on the show for a long time. Kank from the Young Turds. Hard lefty, communist, right? Had Joe Kent on the show. Joe Kent. And it's interesting that Joe Kent only took a couple minutes of his interview to turn on the Vice president too. I told you, it's only a matter of time. Check this out. What happens to JD Vance in this equation?

[JD Vance Supporter]

I mean, look, I like jd. He's in a tough spot. His name's on the ticket and he has had to go along with a lot of what's taken place in this administration. And look, at the end of the day, he is going to have to answer to a lot of those same donors because he was on the ticket. And so unless he, he changes things drastically, which I don't even know if he has the power to do at this point, he's still going to be at the mercy of a lot of the people that are still pulling the strings within the Republican Party. And I think this is just some of the trap of the Republican Party and The Democrat Party. Because if you lock us into this two party system, you basically have to pick your side and then, you know, you have to go down with the ship. And that's the position that JD's in right now. Because President Trump put the ship on the heading, you know, towards the iceberg, for lack of a better metaphor.

[Dan Bongino]

You see the threat? You guys see it? Did I? Not that I call it yesterday or what? You better jump off that ship. We're coming for you next. Oh, you thought it was just about me. No, it's not. It's not about.

[Paul]

I told you the two criteria.

[Dan Bongino]

To be part of their movement, you got to hate the Jews, Protestants and evangelicals first. That's mandatory. And you have to shit all over the Trump administration. That's it. They don't care who you are. You can be a ninja, they'll let you in the movement.

[Paul]

You can be the Evil Ninja from

[Dan Bongino]

Ninja 3, the Domination. They don't really care as long as

[Paul]

you do those two things.

[Dan Bongino]

You hate those folks and you shit on the Trump administration.

[Paul]

You remember they're coming for every single one of you.

[Dan Bongino]

I've seen it on bosa, believe me,

[Paul]

my eyes have never been more open.

[Dan Bongino]

Happened. I've seen it. That's the nothing is happening grift.

[Paul]

And I know, you know, people think they're safe.

[Dan Bongino]

Oh, I don't say anything. That guy's a liar, by the way. And I've told you many times, that guy is a liar. I've exposed this guy over and over. And believe me when I tell you that moment of vindication as these things start to come out and you're starting to see emails now, you're going to be left holding the bullshit bag if you believe it, because receipts matter.

[Paul]

I wouldn't be so confident about 100%

[Dan Bongino]

confidence if I didn't know we were on the right side of this, would I? Or else they just play these clips later. Correct.

[Paul]

Who would put this on digital in

[Dan Bongino]

digital history if they weren't as confident as I am? This is where you get the nothing is happening, Griffin. And who do you want to do? You want to bring back the Democrats? Here's another. You guys got the nothing is happening file. Here's another addition to the nothing is happening file. Things that actually happened yesterday. Here's a press conference by FBI Director Keshe Patel, how President Trump has basically reordered our global alliances and people we couldn't get from foreign countries in the past. I know, I lived it. It's called an FTOC Foreign transfer of custody. Basically we go grab people in foreign countries who broke our laws and bring them back. Folks, these things were not happening at

[Paul]

the pace they should have been because a lot of these countries didn't respect us. President Trump's like, give us this guy or there's going to be freaking hell to pay again. I thought nothing was happening. I'm sure they'll shit on him too.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[FBI Director Kesh Patel]

We will give you no sanctuary. In the month Of July, the FBI executed almost 30 foreign transfers of custody in over 15 separate countries for drug traffickers, terrorists, murderers and rapists. So what I'm here to tell you today, for all these individuals that are on the run right now, you will not be on the run for long. We will hunt you down in every corner of the planet and we will return you here to face American justice. The numbers that we, the FBI and our partners are returning to America to face justice from overseas is a record breaking number. It is a direct result of President Trump's relationships with foreign governments that allow us to work in spaces we were never permitted to work before. And that is why we are delivering these historic results, returning these individuals to America for justice.

[Paul]

Let me tell you how this worked.

[Dan Bongino]

Before Cash and I got in there and before President Trump thankfully was sworn

[Paul]

in, we would just the FBI and

[Dan Bongino]

their prior leadership with, by the way, the, you know, blessing of Biden and the prior Obama administration, they would kiss these countries asses.

[Paul]

Hey, we got some child murderer over

[Dan Bongino]

in to cite, basically I'll cite a real case, but I'll use kind of a fake place. I want to give.

[Paul]

We got a child murderer in say Pakistan or whatever they go, please, Mr. Pakistan government official, can we please have this person back? And Pakistan may or may not, or they may just say, well whatevs, that's

[Dan Bongino]

not, it wasn't actually Pakistan, but I'm

[Paul]

telling you that's not the way the Trump administration works.

[Dan Bongino]

Their State Department, Rubio, the president himself, like you're going to turn that person over. You understand? It's not a question. You think that's an accident? Again, I know the doomers don't really give a shit. I know you don't care because your goal is dooming and grifting. It's not actually getting people out to vote and support an agenda that brings spreadsheet results. I understand that.

[Paul]

However, to you

[Dan Bongino]

working class Americans that watch this show, I told you I wouldn't be so confident if I wasn't so sure in the end that all of this, when this Four year body of work is done that we're going to have a spreadsheet of arrests, indictments, public corruption cases. And what's the other side going to have? Defamation suits, clownish statements that are roundly debunked by actual receipts. They're all going to look like morons.

[Paul]

And folks listen, our enemies. What are you going to do?

[Dan Bongino]

Vote for the other side? Maze May says in the chat, historic results is an understatement. You're damn right it's an understatement.

[Paul]

What are you going to do voting on election day?

[Dan Bongino]

Coming up just right around the corner

[Paul]

for the other side. You want open borders again? You want these phonies?

[Dan Bongino]

Ladies and gentlemen, you know what drives me freaking crazy more than anything? Voices of Democrats. I can't stand it how they constantly

[Paul]

change their voice, their accent to play to a crowd. Just speak normally like you always talk. Did you see this recent one? I thought this was fake.

[Dan Bongino]

I said to the guys, even in

[Paul]

the email, please check this is actually real.

[Dan Bongino]

This is Mom Dhumi, the communist up in New York years ago doing some

[Paul]

kind of promo or something for a play. It's his mom's film. Is that what it is? Folks, I want you to.

[Unknown Female Speaker]

Mom.

[Paul]

Dummy sounds a little different.

[Dan Bongino]

Just like Kamala aoc.

[Paul]

You know, they change how they talk in front of groups of people because Takiya, they're phony, they're fake.

[Dan Bongino]

The art of deception. Here we go with voices.

[Paul]

Democrats.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Unknown Female Speaker]

But I mean, we have. We also. Do you know our show keys? We do our show keys in Kampala. But I mean, having a dance move to. To a song is. Is a big thing, right? But I would say the Nigerians have really patented that. The Nigerians come out with a song like Yemi Alade has a song called. What's the name? Kofi Annan. She has a song called Kofi Annan. Do the Kofi Annan. Now. All my friends, all my friends in Kabbalah doing the Kofi Annan.

[Paul]

I'm sorry, man.

[Dan Bongino]

This has been a really heavy show.

[Paul]

I needed that at the end. Ladies and gentlemen, here it is.

[Dan Bongino]

Paula Dyne designed this for you.

[Paul]

Stupid is a choice.

[Dan Bongino]

And then for your liberal friends on the back, don't be stupid. Store.bongino.com if you'd like one yourself. Also the 1776 shirt is there as well. 150 Years of Freedom is my personal favorite. I want to play one more clip for you because you know who's not a phony again?

[Paul]

You're not Obligated in a republic to vote for like, for Speak positive. Better. But he's definitely not phony. Is the President. The president has no problem being genuine

[Dan Bongino]

in front of people at all.

[Paul]

Did you see this?

[Dan Bongino]

Yesterday this lady comes up on the stage to give a quick speech at a Trump event in Nevada and her

[Paul]

child tries to run off. Look at a guy, the cat like reflexes for an 80 year old.

[Dan Bongino]

Watch this.

[Paul]

You see this? There we go. There we go. Bouncing. Listen, you hear him? He's in the back. He goes, I didn't want to be like Biden run it off this guy. You know, he doesn't have to be a phony. He's just a natural in front of a crowd.

[Dan Bongino]

It's kind of hilarious. Again, it doesn't obligate you to not telling you, like it's a reason to vote or not.

[Paul]

I'm just saying, like, the guy's not phony.

[Dan Bongino]

What is he, 80 something? He's bouncing around, catching a kid on the stage in his floor shine shoes he loves. All right, it is time for our
