How many times you get. It's supposed to be a video. Oh, here we go. You guys can't get enough of this shit, can you? If you're listening on Apple and Spotify, please watch the rumble where they must have played the clip of Tim Walls not knowing how to loan his own shotgun at least five or six times. Oh, I know, I know. It's what it's him going on and on, not being able. But they can't get enough of that clip. Ok, Can I give you some life advice here? This is an important show. Ok? Dariet, King of the tampons, the Mount Olympus of Greek gods Tamponicus Timachus using the lightning tampon as a weapon of mass destruction politically, unfortunately for his own campaign. I'm going to give you a piece of life advice. You don't have to take it. You can say what the hell you know about life. Your life's more screwed up than anyone. I, I gotta say you'd be right. What is two thumbs and screws up this guy. However, I'm gonna throw this out here cause I know it's true. You may call me crazy. I don't believe in self, you know, self destroying yourself like publicly and making yourself look silly. Some people like, oh it's cute, you know, self effacing humor and all that other stuff. No, no, no, I don't buy it. I'm sorry. Call me crazy. I been married 20 years and all this other stuff. I'm not telling you that everything is like peaches and cream, all the time. That's not what I'm saying at all. But I don't do embarrassing stuff. And I don't make myself look stupid in front of my wife and my kids. I just don't. It's my thing. I'm sorry. Someone asked me for Halloween once, can you dress up like this thing? And I thought it looked stupid. I said no. Oh, have some fun with it. No, no, I don't want to have fun. You don't have to agree with me. That's cool. It's my life. That's how I run. Don't do anything that makes you look stupid. Don't ever say in public you're a knucklehead. Don't ever claim you're a moron in public because people will believe you. Okay? You're either a liar or you're telling the truth. If you're a liar, you're a liar. If you're telling the truth, then you're a knucklehead. Nobody wants a knucklehead. Also, don't do things that make you look dumb. Don't go out in a bubble boy suit. Don't throw a tank helmet on, pretended to be a tank commander like Michael Dukakis. And don't go out pretending to go out on a hunt when you can't even load your own freaking rifle. You look like an idiot. Don't do it. This is not just a lesson for politics. It's one of Dan Bongino's lessons for life. You don't have to take it. It's fine. I'm just telling you, I don't do things that make me look stupid. Now, I'm not saying once in a while. You're not going to throw into a situation where you look really stupid. Just don't do it on purpose. Just throwing that out there. You do what you want with it. Are you having trouble sleeping or staying asleep? Listen, I've been there.

Thank you, Beam. We appreciate it. All right, now you're giving away the art of sealing the deal. The critical moments that I didn't think you guys put in little chyrons. These guys are all fancy. Now. What is going on? Hold on. Black. This is actually blackout, because you think I'm making enough. You see that? Can you see in there? You can see that. That's. It's not like disgusting brown water from. You know, this is like actual black out here. It's the cinnamon French toast. It's black, too. Like, there's no. Which I'm still talking about black. Okay, this is. Yeah, I mean, this is the cup. Is this not the cup of. Do we have it? Like, is it a grading system? I mean, this has got to be. I mean, at least politically, you know, I didn't expect that clip to hit me that way. I've seen it probably like you probably what, a thousand times. Folks, that was a special moment for all the wrong reasons. But I had known Donald Trump for a while. Again, I don't want to exaggerate my friendship with him. Please. You sound like an asshole when you say that. Trying to pretend you know people when you don't. But I have a relationship with him. We don't drink coffee together, but I've known him for a while and I've seen him outside of the public eye, and he's a really special person. He's really obsessed with making you feel important. That's a unique skill very few people have. He's a good, decent guy. He's not a guy without flaws. None of us are. Some of them may be significant, but he's a really good and decent guy. I gotta tell you something. That Donald Trump I've known and a lot of people know. A lot of you met him. I'm not the only one. A lot of you may know him like I have. You may have had a couple conversations with him. That clip that day changed Everything. I think a lot of people, even like the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world, that the pretty devout leftist in charge of Facebook was like, that was pretty badass. Yeah, it was. Folks, I'm going to tell you something. Having been on the other side of that doing the protection side, you hear a gunshot ring out like I did at least when I was a cop. Not as an agent, but you go into like fog of war mode instantly, and it takes a few seconds to clear your brain. This guy's first impulse was to get up and to scream, fight, fight, fight. I mean, that takes a set of freaking coconuts like I' ever seen. If there was a game changing moment in modern political history, forget about this election, then that was probably it. That was a good one. I'm glad you guys put that in there. Even though we've seen it, folks, don't you agree you can't see that one enough? All right, let's see what we got. Next timer, bring that one up. I'm going to take care of that. Now on the political tactics front. This again, genius. Look at this guy. You believe this guy? Flipping the fries right there. Right there. Is it in a suit? In a suit. This is Trump. Of course, if you listen on Spotify Rapple into Mickey D's, he's like the best fly fry flipping I've ever seen. And then you want to do the salt over here. Yeah. I only laugh because I'm going to tell you something. There are a few politicians who this, this. Actually, I promise I did not know the cliffs. Again, I'm not making this up. This segues so beautifully from the Tim Wall segment where don't make yourself look stupid in public. Being able to avoid looking stupid in public and having the Genesee Qua right charisma. Nobody knows what it is, but you know what I'm saying? Do you know if I'm going? You ever see like a guy or woman walks in the room? You've never met this person at all. It's a crowded room and everybody turns their attention. And I'm not talking about the beauty alone. I'm just talking about the shoulders are back, the chest is out. Everybody seems to be staring at this person. You get an air of power from this person. That's Trump. So whereas Tim Walls can't even shoot his own gun. A gun. Donald Trump can walk into a McDonald's in a suit, put an apron on, flip in fries, and look more manly than Tim Walls in his hunting garb out there trying to fake hunt with A gun he doesn't know how to use, he claims is his own. You see the difference? If you flip that around, Tim Walls looks like an idiot. McDonald's, and you put Donald Trump out there hunting. Donald Trump doesn't know how to work the gun. He'd be like, what kind of bullshit gun is this? You get what I'm saying? Okay, okay. I don't want to. I know. You guys get some other good stuff. Does that make sense? That's the Genesee Qua. It's called the Genesee Quad because nobody knows why they have it. The people who have it just have it. I wish I could bottle it. I'd be stupid rich. How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden, and I have to begin by saying 250 million Americans are not garbage. I did not plan this at all. This. I did not. A perfect. This is Trump in a garbage truck after Joe Biden called MAGA supporters, of course, garbage. Many of you remember that. This is Trump decides to go out there, and we recommend it. I'm not saying they heard it from us. A thousand people were saying, but what did we say? Like, if Donald Trump doesn't get out there in a sanitation truck tomorrow. I didn't even think of the vest, by the way, and go out there in the truck. This is a missed political opportunity like you've never seen. The sanitation vest is the perfect example. What does he say coming out? Do you remember that part again? We didn't plan this. He's like, hey, before I was coming out, they told me to put on the sanitation vest. And I didn't really think it was a good idea. I thought I'd look silly. But you know what? And you know, here's what he's saying in his head. Language alert. He's saying, fuck that motherfucker. I'm Donald Trump. I'll put on whatever the hell I want, okay? I'll make it happen. That's how he is. That's how he is. That's how he. He just has freaking basketballs down there. He just does. And that's why he can make that work. Whereas if Kamala Harris or someone else came out in a sanitation vest, they would look like idiots every single time. Perfect segue there. Totally, completely unintentional. A Biden blunder bonanza. Hard to pick a few, but these were our favorites. All right, let's see what your favorites were. Care. Making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system. Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for. What I've been able to do with the, with the COVID Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with is this. I don't know what he just said. If we finally beat Medicare, President Biden, President Trump was right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death and he's destroying Medicare. I remember, guys, we were doing that live and that was one of the moments we all looked at each other on the debates, when we were doing the live debate coverage because we were trying to shut up and not say too much. We were just trying to let the debate play out. So we didn't interrupt. But that was one of the moments we all looked at each other and we were like, this guy's campaign is over. We had, we called it. Go back and listen. In a sense, you know, proven bona fides. You can listen to yourself. We called it. We told you this guy was not going to be the nominee. I think it was that moment. And when Trump said to him, when he said, listen, man, I don't even know what this guy just said. That was it. That was the official end of Joe Biden's campaign because probably 30 plus million people were watching that, probably another 50 million on clips who realized that everything we had said about this guy's cognitive function and brain not working was absolutely correct. He just couldn't put together or string together a series of sentences. You saw it yourself. Yeah, that was a good one. I actually forgot about that moment in the debate. Let's see what else you got. Oh, confused on stage, few one direction, the other direction looks back. So again, if you listen on Spotify or Apple, Biden's on stage, he goes one way, goes the other way, salutes someone who's there or may not be there. We don't even know what he's. Maybe he sees phantasms, maybe it's like the Amityville horror thing. Nobody knows. He walks off. Now, why is this clip important? This is something I don't have a lot of experience in a lot of things, but I definitely know how logistics of a presidential visit work. I've told you guys well over 500 times that in events like this, the President is given a tick tock and basically footsteps. In other words, here is exactly what you're going to do. When I say exactly, I mean exactly. You. It'll say, POTUS walks on stage from stage right, stage left, doesn't matter. You follow footsteps on stage, you exit stage left, work rope line, you and not only that, there's someone guiding him. If you're the President of the United States and you don't know where to go after your speech is over and you were told this 15 minutes prior with notes in front of you, then, folks, this guy's cognitive disorder is probably so farther along advanced than we can possibly imagine. This guy's in real trouble. I've been there. You never see stuff like this. I challenge you. Go look at Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton. Make it a bipartisan thing. Go back and sit there and scroll on a video platform all day and see how many times they were confused getting off stage. I guarantee you you're barely going to find one. Barely. Because it's impossible. You have to be mentally not there. I love those clips. I mean, I don't love them, but I love them because I haven't been there. I know how bad that really is. The staff and the Secret Service are probably like, shit, we just told them five minutes ago, like, what the hell does it. Like this. They got like the airplane things in there. This way. They do. That's a great. That's funny. Gee's never funny. That's funny. They do. They have like a behavioral learning negative like PTSD response whenever hail that the chief comes on because they know they're going to have to. This way, bro. This way. Every stress level goes up automatically now whenever they hear the music, they're going to be sitting at home after the detail and the wife will have Fox News on. It's after say a midnight. They're sleeping at 1:00 in the evening and the guy's going to jump up and oh my God, where's Biden? Biden. Biden. Biden's been out of office four years. Let's see what else. Oh, this is great. Come on. This is great. Going that far. Yeah. Yes, he is going that far. There you go. You know, I'm. I gotta tell you, I'm a little torn on. I'm a little torn on this one. Can I let you guys in on a little secret? I shouldn't say this, but I'm gonna. He's like the. Don't. No, I shouldn't, but I will. When this happened, Biden's so out of it, folks. I really don't think there was any agenda here at all. I don't. He's so out of it. I'm not even sure he knew what he was doing. I. Maybe he knew it was a Trump hat. Maybe he did. I don't know, but Biden's I'll tell you why I'm torn on this. I'm going to get into it. I'm going to get in a rabbit hole. I dislike this guy so much because he's so corrupt in what he did with his family and all this other stuff makes me so sick to my stomach and all the endless lying and comparing us to Nazis. I mean, I have a visceral emotional reaction to Joe Biden, but again, I can't be a hypocrite and say don't get emotional about politics, stay transactional and then get emotional about it even if it's Joe Biden. I didn't want to say anything at the time because I really can't stand this guy, but I didn't find that clip to be. I really think he just didn't know what he was doing and he was trying to be like a funny, friendly guy. And I don't know, I shouldn't have said. I don't want you to think I'm ever being fake with you. I'm not. I just, I dislike this guy so much. I may have attributed to him is what I'm getting at really malicious motives because he's a genuinely awful guy that in that moment may not have existed. Does that make sense? Whatever.
