All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. Yeah. I told you. I told you it was an op. Now the op is kicking a bunch of people in the balls who were finding out the hard way who were really convinced that community notes and rage bots on X were real life. It's not real life. Voters are real life. Actual voters, those are real life. What do they call it? Justin irl. Now that's IRL in real life. I told you yesterday before the show, Kentucky 4 primary yesterday, Tom Massie, Ed Gal Ryan. I told you that Kentucky 4 voters would pick their pick and that it's very hard to oust an incumbent. It is really hard. Super hard. Not last night it wasn't. You can talk all the smack you want but losing by 10 points as an incumbent is really hard to do. You have to really screw up. You can talk all the shit you want today about just. You just lost. I'm sorry. It is an intra party fight. We're not having this. We're not having. It's not about loyalty to Trump. I'm going to prove it to you in the beginning of the show. It's not about loyalty to Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a business guy who is very transactional, who if he sees a result will work with anyone to get there. That is not even people who he vehemently disagrees. I'll prove it to you right in the beginning of the show. It is not about that. It's about a string of candidates who have decided to engage in bullshit anti Trump conspiracy theory nonsense. They throw the Jews in the mix. They try to attract a bunch of disgruntled folks out there and they think that that's real life. It's not real life, man.

I was pretty harsh on X last night after Tom Massie lost his primary as the incumbent. Incumbent congressman in Kentucky. 4. There's a lesson in this, folks, and the lesson is this. The lesson is that running with a bunch of failed comedians like that coward dipshit Dave Smith, who, if you've seen pictures of him that been floating around the Internet, looks like he got beat up a lot in high school. He's a tough guy though, on X all the time. I'll end you. I'll end you. Yeah, you'll end. You'll end us. Sure, buddy, I'm sure. You've end up. You're a lot of men. You've ended a lot of men, Dave. Jimmy Dore, another joker. Maybe jumping in bed with Igor Third Reichland. Maybe jumping into bed with a bunch of clowns and anti Semitic losers with Nazi symbols and running around telling you how much they hate the Jews, blaming them for everything. Maybe it's a bad idea in a conservative primary. Maybe it's a really bad idea. It is a bad idea because let me tell you something. We've been in this movement a lot longer. This is our party. You don't get to jump into the party, come on in there, take a big shit in the punch bowl and then wonder why we handed you your ass on the Way out the door. Despite being a decades long incumbent in office. You're not us. Stop pretending. Just admit that you're you. Hang out with your foreign terror river to the sea people and go hang out on the left. You're not welcome here. Get the out. We don't want you. I don't know what part of we don't want you. We don't. You're the type of people. A bunch of chumps and cowards and zeros. I feel bad. A lot of these clowns look like they got their asses kicked in high school. A lot. I'm sorry, that shouldn't have happened to you. But your psychological trauma shouldn't be everybody's trauma. You don't get to come into the treehouse we built and then crap all over the place and then wonder why we toss your ass out. You don't belong here. This is not the anti semitic party. It's not the racist party. It's not the anti black, anti Hispanic party. This is the party of universal inalienable rights endowed by the creator. That's our party. You never belonged here. We don't want you. I saw all the threats last night. I got tons of them. Last night. You got. These people are total animals. Some of them insane. Some of the stuff they sent me last night and they exposed the op last night fully. Go look at some of my tweets from yesterday. Read some of the comments from the rage bot farm. Here's the gist of a lot of them. Watch what happens in November. We'll get you back. Oh, so that's now you just exposed who you are. So it was never about conservatism. It was never about advancing the ball forward as a movement. It was about your one guy who. That issue for you was the anti Jew stuff. If that guy lost, you were going to charge the battlefield with us and then shoot us all in the back. Now you see why we don't want you. You're not an asset. Just get the out, man. Get out. Find the door. We don't. We folks, if that's your threat, either change the party to be the anti Jew party or we're not going to vote with you. Then just get out. We don't want you. I don't know what part of this is hard to understand. See you. By sayonara. How many languages you need? Hasta luego. No Ostoman. I don't want to see him. Just get out. This is not for you. I saw another thread out there. It said, well, young voters Supported Massie, ladies and gentlemen. Listen, I'm not going to throw that thread out because a lot of young voters did. And if you supported him because of his prior history of libertarian leanings, that's a good thing. I actually supported Tom Massie in the past, too. I. I did until I found out who he really was. I worked with him. You did not. A lot of these people out there screaming on Twitter today have no idea how much of a fraud this guy was. I have never been as disappointed in a politician in my life. He claims to be a civil libertarian, and yet he destroys due process by destroying people's lives on Twitter. And then when you tell them, hey, do you want to get the facts before you engage in character assassination on Twitter? He ignores you. That's. That's a fact. There is nothing he can say with again, his magic tricks, pulling a rabbit out that's going to change any of that. He refused to hear the truth because he wanted to destroy people and violate their due process on X. He talks about the Epstein class all the time. You know how many times when I was going through this fight when I had hundreds of guys working on that case, do you know how many times I heard from this guy? Freaking goose egg. Zero. He only cared when he thought he could attack President Trump. And that applies to other cases, too. All he does is talk. Big chatterbox. The Trump's a pedophile class. You want it? Really? You want to start getting into the whole sexual deviant thing? You're. You see who your crew is, Milo, some of that Massey stuff that came. You really want to go there, Getting in bed with this, this clown card full of losers? We don't want you go join the river to the sea terror crowd. They're not us. I don't know how many times you got to. How, you know, hard it is to lose as an incumbent. Sky's Liz Cheney 2.0. Folks, we didn't ask for this, okay? Neither the conservative movement that has its own disagreements. They don't always align with President Trump on everything. President Trump doesn't demand loyalty from everyone. We didn't ask for this fight. We did not invite a bunch of Jew haters into the tent. You invited yourself and pissed all over the place. We don't want you here, voters. And you couldn't even win a congressional district where the guy was a decades long incumbent. And you're telling us like, oh, we should all believe X and community notes that this is the. This is the future, man. It's not the future. I Have faith in young people. I have faith in young people that we got to do a better job. You are correct in not letting them fall into this victimhood trap where, oh, blame the Jews and all. So we got to do a better job of that. But don't give me this bullshit. President Trump, if you don't demand loyalty, he'll throw you to the cup. That's not the case. He's endorsed candidates who haven't always aligned with him. A couple times. Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Trump sees a problem with the high price of medications in America today. He sees it. So what does he do? He finds out that there may be a business solution in free markets. Mark Cuban, who endorsed Kamal Harris, he jumps on stage with them and they do a thing. I thought he demanded loyalty all the time. Then he makes a joke about it. You can't have it both ways, folks. You can't have it both ways. That he'll partner with people to get a result, but he demands loyalty, and he won't partner with anyone unless you get his result. That's just not true. Check this out.
B
It's pretty remarkable seeing you and Mark Cuban up there and the fact that obviously Mark endorsed Kamala Harris back in 2021.
A
Well, he made a mistake. It was a big mistake. What does this say about what you two are building here? Well, it says, we love people. We love our country. He wants to. He's got a good company, and he's going to do a lot of business with this. Folks, this was an op the whole time. This whole thing was an op. You can't have it both ways with President Trump. Oh, he just didn't like Massey because he didn't agree with him the whole time. Bullshit. When you start dancing around with dangerous bullshit, Trump's a pedophile, is raping kids, and then people start shooting at him. You're the bad guy, bro. And then when people try to fill you in on what's actually going on. When we were doing the hard work, did you miss that whole controversy over the summer? Cut the bullshit. Like you pretended you didn't see everything that went on with all the conversations about how to get this material out there and the 6e stuff and the victim's names all. Cut the bullshit like you didn't see it. You never came over and asked a question about it. Guys, a bullshit artist, and I'm sorry to have to tell you the truth. And if it's convenient for you to rage bot out on me, man, Knock yourself out. I don't see ever the bullshit anyway. My team just knocks most of it out. Folks, it's an op. It's an effort to destroy this party from the inside. Stealing the political identity politics model from the communist left and imparting it inside the Republican tent. That's what they want to do, the Republicans. They cannot destroy this, what we've built the. This, this castle any other way than getting people to engage in victim culture stuff. Someone did this to you. And the someone du jour now is the Jews did it. You will never see a better example of the op, what's called horseshoe theory. How you get fringes of both parties that eventually wind up should be called circle because eventually the ends of the horseshoe connect. You'll see the fringe elements of the river to the sea terrorist left and this new wing of the fake right. You will never see a more dangerous symbiote than you will. There we go. Horseshoe theory. They see it right there. That's who at the Dan Freedom there woke left, woke right. You said they say the same things. No, they don't. Really. Do you guys see this promo for the Candace Owens Hunter. Hunter Biden interview. This is real. This is not AI. This is the promo for the Candace Owens Hunter Biden interview. Forget the Candace Owens parson for a second. We've already focused on a lot of that. I want you to listen how Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden, one of the biggest scumbags in the history of presidential vice presidential children has figured out that he can try to co op people on the right air quotes by using the Jews. The Jews. Listen, it's so obvious. It's about a minute clip. If you're falling for this, I am really sorry. You have been suckered by the Biden family. And then he says something else in this clip that's even more hilarious. That his dad was never the favorite of the Epstein class elites. Your dad had Bernie Sanders wiped out in the South Carolina primary by moving the data the primary and engaging in racial identity politics where the elites helped him to wipe out the grassroots candidate. Bernie Sanders. You bullshit artist. And then he goes on to blame the Jews and of course the Third Reich component, pretending to be part of our party. The Jews did it, man. Yeah. This was Massey's entire closing argument. I'll show you that in a second. It was this whole closing argument. The Jews, the Jews. Sounds kind of like racist Democrats in the past. The blacks, the Hispanics, whatever. Sounds kind of disgusting, doesn't it? First, I want you to watch this here's the op right here. Here's horseshoe theory in one minute. Check this out.
B
The DC elite of the.
A
Of the left, they crushed my dad
B
because he was never part of that club. He was never part of the Epstein class. You know, one thing he didn't do, he didn't greenlight to turn Gaza into
A
a Trump golf course with the maitre
B
d being Jared Kushner. War in Iran that they started, that every president before him was pressured by the Israelis.
A
I do think there was something about the Charlie Kirk assassination that everyone just
B
sort of looked up. They're the people that Charlie Kirk made. The level of disloyalty or fear. I don't know what it is.
A
And the criticism of you for asking the questions for someone who was like
B
a brother to you.
A
It's like, what the f. Were you talking about?
B
I listen to you and I go right on.
A
Who just said in the chat. Mindwashing. Brainwashing. Folks, this is. I don't. I don't. I don't know what. Because that. They should just say at the beginning of that. With, you know the little disclaimers they put on things. They should put a disclaimer. You are the victim of an ongoing psyop. If you are watching this and believe a single word coming out of this person's mouth. He's just a bullshit OR no. Artist. Blaze951. No, no. AN artist. Remember he did like the blowhole paintings or something and sold them for what, like 500 grand? Nobody finds this unusual. The biggest scumbag in the history of presidential nuclear families is out aligning with. With Candace Owens with the. Hey, man, the Jews did. And you're following. You believe Hunter Biden now. If you do, I'm going to tell you what I said in the beginning. Please get the out. We don't want you in our movement. We are not the Hunter Biden party. We're not that we hate the Jews party. We're not that. We hate the Muslims party or the Christians party or the Evangelicals party either. There's a whole wing of this that hates the Evangelical Christians, too. They're not real Christians. Really? Really? They're not. I've been warning you about this forever. So what do these people do? They attack me. Nothing happened. Oh, go fuck yourself, you dumb sons of bitches. You damn well know there's a laundry list of massive changes the left's been complaining about for. The only argument you have is don't tell people what happened. If you tell them what happened, then they'll know change, and we don't want that because then they'll look like the good guys. That's all you guys got. Yet your hero didn't do jack shit. Never heard a word from this guy on any of this stuff. Oh, yeah? You want to see what his closing argument was? Tom Massie. The guy lost by 10 points. Donor money. Donor. Oh, he didn't have donor money. You're telling me. He's really telling me Massey didn't have donor money, too. You sure you want to go there on that one? But is this you? Incumbents in US congressional primaries win renomination at typically over a 98% rate for the House. Yeah, he didn't. He lost by 10. Here's Massie last night. Total scumbag move. But this is who he is. This is the guy. I could not believe how disappointed I was when I met this. I'm telling you, like, levels of disappointment in politicians are usually pretty high. This guy broke the scale. Because I had defended this guy even under relentless attacks from other people, I thought, oh, maybe he's got principles. He has zero. He is about one thing, and that's Massey. Well, he's about two things. The Jews. Here he is last night in one of the most disgusting, grotesque, just horrifying comments I've heard at a concession where, of course, he lost. Check this out. I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede and it took a while to find Ed Galran in Tel Aviv. Yeah, that's real funny. That's real funny. Douchebag. This guy is such a loser. I can't even tell you, folks. I tilt strongly towards the civil libertarian component of the conservative wing. If you're looking at it on some kind of cline there, I have never been so disappointed in a human being. Really? The Jews again? Well, Dan, how do you know this was his closing argument? Because yesterday he was on Fox. Yesterday was election day, where he lost by 10. He was Tom Massie on Fox yesterday. And I want you to listen again, this is his closing argument in a conservative primary in Kentucky trying to make an argument to people who believe in faith, family and freedom that somehow their political problems again, are. Are the Jews. This is his closing argument yesterday. And you wonder why he lost. Check this out. People are smart enough to understand that this is Israel trying to buy an election. Maryam Adelson has spent so much money on my election, they're going to have to scale down that ballroom that she was paying for. And she was born in Israel. The Republican Jewish Coalition and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee have spent millions of dollars in this race on a guy that that's never showed up for a single debate. They think they can buy Kentuckians. They think they can buy this seat because they tried to buy my vote and I wouldn't sell it. And they're finding out it's real expensive. And what they're going to find out is they can't afford to buy this seat in Kentucky. Ken, this guy, this was his entire closing argument. Not your wallet, not your health care, not your kids education, government overregulation. I'm not telling you he's not concerned about this stuff. That was his entire closing argument. You want more receipts? Here he was yesterday election day on CBS Again, the Jews. Check this out. If the president had merely endorsed a warm body, that's his affectionate term for my opponent is a warm body from central casting, I would have won 60, 40. The difference in this race, what people need to watch is it's a referendum on whether the Israeli lobby can buy a seat in Congress and how much they're willing to spend to try and in order to intimidate the entire Republican party into having zero dissension on foreign policy toward Israel. Yeah, there's zero dissension on foreign policy. Yeah, you're correct. Everybody is universally aligned in the exact same foreign policy for every country in the world. Do you actually believe that? Folks? Do you really want to align with Hunter Biden and that, you know, Test case for GLP1 through 3's Cank Uyghur, Kankasaur weaker. Do you really want to align with these losers? The Hunter Biden can't weigher from the young Turds party. Can't weigher. Him and Dave Smith, the two fakest tough guys I've ever seen in my life. Hold on, I'll end you, bro. And Kank Weger always screaming like give me a yodel. You keep this guy from his ho hos and he loses his mind. Here's Kank. Here he is on Piers Morgan's show showing you Cenk weaker doesn't give a shit about anything other than the talking boy. The Jews Cenk Weger, by the way, love Tom Massey. I wonder if Hunter Biden did too. Here's Kank on Piers Morgan show. The guest on the show brings up this very disturbing statistic that there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of cases of these Pakistani rape gangs in these Muslim communities in the UK raping women. I thought all you guys cared about was Epstein and pedophiles. And yet now we've got this case going on now. And watch Kank's response. Real man. That's not a real number. Watch. You really want to align with these people. Check this out. It's an outrageous thing to say about him. But it's not outrageous to say about all Muslims. No, but the point. It's much more outrageous to say it about all the reason you would think it is. If it's a fantasy in your head. Yeah. Don. You think about it all the time, don't you? It's not my statistic. It's your go. It's the British government statistic. 250,000 plus girls in the last 25 years have have been raped by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men. That was Lord Malcolm Pearson in the House of Lords who said that. It was not me. So don't get mad at me. You go get mad at Lord Malcolm Pearson. Can I just tell you this sophistry, this trick that they do. So they do it here in America with immigrants. I don't know anything about that number. Of course he doesn't know anything about that number because all he believes in is the talking points. You want to align with these crazy lunatics folks. You want this party to go down in flames, then this fall in this, you know, we hate the Jews stuff. It pops up, man. I've been in this thing since 2015. It's not an eternity, but it's a long time to be doing this on radio, on tv, writing for Conservative Review, podcasting inside the government, outside the government. Trust me, don't trust me. It's up to you. Some of you here. I assume you and I share a lot in common. This bullshit pops up on our side. Air quotes every few years or so. It gets squashed because conservatives don't want it. And then they come back under a new blanket years later. You want to align with this guy, this Graham Platner guy too. You notice these lefties and righties horseshoe theory are saying the exact same thing. Unearthed posts showed a Dem Senate hopeful praising vulgar graffiti, making a crude porta potty admission. You don't even want to see what the Nazi tattoo guy in this article was doing in the porta potties or admitting involves self gratification. You want that guy on your team. He's saying the same things. Got the Nazi tattoos. I thought Nazi tattoos were bad. I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing. You want to align with this lady. Was this Galenas? Melinda Galina? So look at his tweet. This. I had to check on this, make sure this was correct. Texas 35 Democratic candidate Maureen Galindo says she will converse. I convert ICE detention centers in Carnes county into an internment camp for American Zionists. It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists, she added. What the what? What is going on. Now? You can pout on X for your community notes all you want. Rage out. Clearly the amount of Fs I give is zero or I wouldn't keep talking about it if I cared and gave even a single F about what? You losers trying to infiltrate our moment. That slob Barnes and embarrassed that other goofball. If anyone cared about what you say, you guys would actually win something. You're screaming in a void today would be Epstein. Trump's a pedophile. They don't have anything else. Nothing's happening. And then we roll out results like this. Put that tweet up cash value. Nothing's happening. Maybe nothing's happening. Then we roll out results like this. And you just ignore it. Thanks to DC Reporter historic results. 20% drop in the national homicide rate. 112% increase in violent crime arrests. 31% more fentanyl seized. 30% more child abusers off the American streets. I thought people cared about that stuff. Results have been so unbelievable, the New York Post even put up a piece about it like, hey man, it kind of sounds like stuff is happening. But I thought These slobs, these GLP1 test cases, can't get others. They tell you nothing's happening and suckers fall for it. FBI announces US violent crime rate plummeted by the fastest rate nearly 90 years. The changes are working. Change? I thought there were no change. I thought nothing was happening. And by the way, for all the haters out there again, rage out, mother. Rage out. But it could crash out. Rage out, Papa Xanax. I don't even what you need to do. But we're doing just great, man. We're doing just fine. This article up in Fidelity yesterday about podcasts and podcast rankers. Top podcast by average weekly downloads. Look at number three. I know that guy Dan Bongino show. Even our network was number three. Whatever self praise things. I'm just telling you all your bullshit about show is fair. Some asshole on X was like, hey Grok, how's Dan Bongino's views? I retweeted it. Rock was like, yeah man, they're doing really great. I actually retweeted with a little salutes. Sorry, just love to hear you watch. We'll get you tomorrow. You said that yesterday and the day before. You're living in a series of tomorrows. Except for living in the today. That matter. You know what? Read that Oprah Winfrey Eckhart toll book. She promoted the power. Now maybe try living in today. We'll get you tomorrow. Maybe we'll send one of our losers over there. That's just the stuff we gotta deal with every day. All because we have this simple idea like maybe we should vote on issues and stop playing victim politics like the left and trying to blame our problems on the Jews or anyone else. And that applies to anyone. Oh, this was great. Yeah. Someone's like, hey, Grok, tell us how Dan Bargino show is crashing out. Grok was like, okay. Dan Bargino's viewership has been consistently strong in conservative media. I retweeted strong return relaunched on Rumble exclusive hit 3 on Triton Rumble channel now at 3.64 million followers. Recent episodes pull 500,000 views quickly. Overall trend dipped during the government break. Well, of course it dipped. That wasn't here. But quick rebound to top tier numbers. Thanks, guys. I'm surprised that guy didn't delete his tweet. Douche. All right, I'm going to take a quick break. There's a lot more to talk about. Yesterday was a big day. Huge endorsement coming out of Texas too. I'm going to tell you what it means and I'm going to contrast it with what happened with Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban endorsed Kamala Harris. But Cuban has this free market oriented, you know, drug sale company where they're looking at. And Trump said, hey man, those values align with me too. I'm looking to lower the price of health care. You can't tell me he, he demands loyalty and then watch what happened yesterday. But he is also sensitive to the base. And I think that's Trump spreadsheets. Trump, how he understands. He doesn't like get emotional about things. He doesn't. He's an emotional guy, but he's not get emotional about this issue. That's what I want. I don't need any more flowery speeches. I don't care that he speaks discursively. I care about results. Show you what I mean. Coming up in a second. Hey, here's a question. How many brokers does it take to insure your business? Here's the answer. A lot right now, unless you go with super sure, super sure.com bongino.

So yesterday was a big endorsement day. This is clearly Donald Trump's party moving forward. You can argue it all you want. You can crash out, rage out. The bottom line is results matter. Okay, how are we going to do in the midterms, ladies and gentlemen? I don't know how we're going to do in the midterms. Presidents typically don't do well. Incumbent presidents with their party in the midterms. That's just a historical fact. How are we going to do? I can't predict the future, but I am going to tell you this. We're going to go in with a team that doesn't stab each other and knife each other in the back and blame people for their problems. That's not the team we're going in to play this game with. Sorry, it's a big endorsement day. Yesterday, president endorsed and folks, when this came out, a lot of people there was an announcement. I've always kind of told people, if you're in the content creation space or you have a services industry, the best thing to do about an announcement, even a product industry, is to make an announcement about the announcement. That way you get two bites at the apple, right? Donald Trump did this yesterday. President Trump said earlier in the day, we're going to be making a Big announcement about the Texas Senate race. Everybody thought it was going to be Cornyn. Everyone. A couple of friends of mine were like, man, I can't believe he's going to go for Cornyn. Well, that didn't happen. He endorsed Ken Paxton because President Trump is not emotional about this stuff. He's a spreadsheets guy. The base and the energy was largely behind Ken Paxton. So don't tell me he's not responsive to people in the base either. That's bullshit. Where do you think this endorsement came from? Every freaking institutionalist in D.C. wanted him to endorse Corny. So regardless of where you stand on this race, there's been a lot of attacks. You know, the Wall Street Journal was really pissed about this yesterday, you know, implying that, like, Paxton was, like, a weak statewide candidate. Paxton's won multiple statewide races. I don't know what you're talking about here. Was Ken Paxton on with Andrew Colvett, who now hosts the Charlie Kirk show, talking about exactly this fact. Colvin asked him about this. Hey, man, there's some bullshit out there that you can't win statewide. He's like, what evidence do you have to back that up? The receipts actually matter. They do to me. Check this out. Let's just call out the elephant in the room here, Ken.
B
You've got people in the party, in the establishment, especially in D.C. that say you can't win a general, you can't win a race. You're too conservative. You're too America First. You're too maga. You can't win against Tal Rico.
A
Right.
B
What's your response to that?
A
Well, the first thing is they told Donald Trump the same thing. Right.
B
That he couldn't win.
A
They've told me that for three. I've run in three general elections in Texas. That means the entire state had to vote.
B
And in each of those with little money, I outperformed what everybody expected me to do.
A
I competed equally with other Republicans that had a hundred times of the money that I had.
B
I get outspent by a lot of money, and yet I've always performed better
A
than these naysayers talk about. There's no polling that suggests that what
B
they're saying is true.
A
What is that? In the chat. Oh, I missed it. Someone said in the chat, they talk about Graham Platler, Nazi tattoo guy up in Maine. They said, flogging the dolphin in a porta potty. Nasty. Yes, very, very nasty. Disgusting. We don't belong with these people. That obviously does not apply to Ken Paxton. He's a Good candidate. He's a good candidate. They've. Listen, every candidate's got pluses and minuses. I understand there's always going to be baggage there. However you're telling me Talarico on the other side than that baggage. Remember that thing though, Courts. Good job, Courts. We are going to go in to this team fight. Team Democrat versus team Republican with the team we want need not a bunch of saboteurs. We're not doing it. Ken Paxton was largely the choice of the base and now you see it. All I'm asking people is don't get emotional about this stuff. Don't get emotional no matter what happened in Kentucky.
B
4.
A
I'm never going to tell you vote for the Democrat over the Republican. I'm not. I'm not going to tell you that. I've said that a thousand times. Been on the air a long time. Don't I do a lot of. And I love how everybody keeps with the bullshit. I. Oh, we're sitting it out. We're going to let the communists win. That's not going to happen, man. Okay. And if it does happen, that's your issue. You're the one who chose that. You're the voters. It is consent to the government. You chose communists and your kids future to be flushed down the toilet. This is like the hundredth primary like this we've been through where everybody. You make a political choice, there's a counterparty that's going to be pissed off. Don't get in the political business. And if you don't want to take a stance like getting in the sports commentator business and you're friends with the quarterback and you don't want to criticize the quarterback. Just get out of the business, folks. Don't let TDS take over your life. Trump Derangement syndrome is a very real thing. If you missed yesterday's show, the interview at the end with Jonathan Alpert, he's a psychotherapist. He was on for about 20 minutes. He was talking about his new book Therapy Nation. How he gets these people in his psychotherapy practice who. Who just cannot divorce these liberals, their political life from their personal life. They are so infected with the TDS virus that this just unimaginable rage comes out. This is a real thing. RFK was on a podcast talking about this yesterday. How people in his own family. Ladies and gentlemen, it's okay to make a political decision that's not popular in your family or your community and still have friends. It's okay. Let's not emulate the Crazy TDS libs and make our entire lives about a political decision. Check this out.
B
President said the other day that Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing. And I believe that it is. I've seen it in my own family. I've seen, you know, how people put out politics ahead of family, ahead of their core values. And I've seen it in my friendships. You know, I've lost a lot of friendships, probably 90% of them, and people I loved and trusted and, you know, I thought would take a bullet for me, calling me on the phone or approaching me and saying, I cannot be your friend anymore. And it's because of the political choices you've made and just seems like a warped worldview. So I don't know, you know, how you get through that, how you unravel an orthodoxy. I know it's been done in history before, but it's really an interesting anthropological phenomenon.
A
Ladies and gentlemen, please don't fall in love with speeches or candidates. Fall in love with results. And you will never go wrong. Your compass will always point true north. Hat tip Alex Marlowe for that interview with rfk. Imagine losing members of your own family because they disagree with a political outcome. By the way, you don't need those family members. I'm really sorry to tell you that. You want to hear Dan Bongino's unpopular opinion. If you have so called friends that think so little of you that they don't like the fact that you voted for President Trump, they were not your friends to begin with. They were just going to sell you out anyway. You don't need those people in your life. Fall in love with results. Don't fall in love with candidates. When you fall in love with results, you will not get overly emotional about every changing of the political wins. He was President Trump yesterday. Again, the guy's just, he's a builder and a transactional dealmaker. Yesterday he's out there trying to lower drug prices through a free market solution with a guy who endorsed his opponent because he understands the need to produce results and not start crying and pissing in your diaper every time your chosen guy doesn't win. Here he is yesterday talking about the construction project at the White House, which by the way, people have spoken about in the Secret Service and whammo, the White House military office for years. For years. I don't even want to get into it on the show because I want to give anybody any ideas, but there were a lot of security concerns at the White House. It was built a really long time ago. Was not built for modern threats. It was not built for drone attacks. The president's like, we're just going to do it. So here he is talking about it yesterday. This is the transactional business guy. We need. No more bullshit. And all this speeches and stuff, just do it. Check this out. All of this was paid for by myself. And because I keep hearing like I'm not. We are making a gift of this one. This is a gift. This is not going to be paid for by the taxpayer. And we have a judge just thinks it's a terrible thing that we're making a gift. He said it's terrible that we're making a gift that should be paid for by the taxpayer. That's one I've never heard before. I'm sure maybe, I don't know, maybe he doesn't understand. This is a gift to the United States of America. And more than a gift, it's going to be one of the most beautiful buildings that ever been built in the country or in Washington, DC. Now, why would I play this clip right before the clip I'm about to pay play. Excuse me. Because the show is about results. Notice over President Trump's shoulder. And if you had your ears open there, you can hear the sound of construction cranes. You can hear the sounds of construction going on in the back. Stuff is getting done. He's at the construction site saying, look what we did. Mine's me of Tom Cruise and Cassidy. Look what we have created when he's got the fire and the Palm Fronda, whatever. Look, this is what he. He's actually doing stuff. Compare and contrast that. Because we've got a race in November that's going to be a dogfight in the midterms with our alternatives. The at least nominal head right now of the Democrat Party is Gavin Newsom, probably the worst governor in the country based on results. I want you to watch a clip of an interview he gives yesterday. This is the left summed up. You got Donald Trump finally doing something people have talked about for years, building this national treasure that was needed for security reasons and everything else around the White House. After all the talk, construction cranes moving. Here's Gavin Newsom basically admitting that we're not even about winning arguments anymore. He's basically telling you what I told you. They are all about emotion, licking their fingers, seeing when they can get people riled up. And the winds are changing. They don't give a shit about results. California has an epidemic of horrible results on homelessness, on crime, on the economy, on California state debt, on the bond market over there. It's terrible education, all of it. So he basically says, I'm done arguing. Basically implies, like, we're just going to go for the emotion and like the tyranny type stuff instead. Check this out. We have to win.
B
It's all on the line.
A
You just got to win. I'm done winning arguments. With all due respect to the niceties, it feels good, but we're going to lose our republic again. Hunting fathers do not live and die for this moment.
B
I can't celebrate July 4th.
A
The best of Roman Republic and Greek democracy. Co equal branches. Co equal branches of government. You know, popular sovereignty, the rule of law. Not at the time where it's the rule of dawn. He's basically forfeited the argument in advance. The prelude to the entire movie is, don't bother watching the movie. We don't really care here. It's on Fox right now. Noosome urges them party fight fire with fire. What fire? What are you talking about? What, are you going to burn the White House down? Does it take the War of 1812? Right? Right. Now look at that. Here was Hakeem Jeffries yesterday. It looks like he was at the same conference too. That was. That's so funny. It's all Fox right now, too. Hakeem Jeffries going fully von Drago. Remember Rocky iv. I must break you. Remember, this is the party. This is why we have to get our shit together. Get all organized here, get out 10, 10 and 10 before the midterm elections. Email 10 people, make 10 social media posts and call 10 people. It is an easy thing to ask. We cannot lose a vast majority. So are we going to lose a few? We are. It's very difficult in midterms. However, do not forfeit this race in advance. The Doomers and the Black Pillars who want to destroy our party lost big last night. Don't let them win. Here's Hakeem Jeffries yesterday going full drago. Rocky 4. This is what you're dealing with in November. Check this out.
B
Either MAGA extremists are going to break the country, or we're going to break them. And our goal is to break them. We will defeat them. We have to beat them electorally and then we have to break their spirit because of the extremism that's being unleashed on the American people. That's completely and totally unacceptable.
A
Notice they don't produce any specifics or results they disagree with. It's purely nonsense, bullshit, hyperbolic rhetoric meant to get their party all riled up and Then some of their people go and start shooting places up. Folks, we got a real fight on our hands. Yesterday's over. It's time to move on. I'm glad it ended the way it did because that's not our party and a statement had to be made and believe me, it was made. But it is time to move on and to focus on what matters in November is critical right now. We are going to go into this game and we are going to play with the team we want, not these guys that come in and again piss all over the locker room. We're not doing that. And where are they getting all this from? Why are these crazy, sick Ivan Drago like ideas that this is the end of the world, this is the Manichean ended times? If we, you know, if we don't defeat Donald Trump in the midterms, they're getting this from, you know, cultural little icons to them and academia telling you Donald Trump's a fascist and all this other stuff. How many people are there too? It sound, Tony, 250 in the chat. Sounds like it. Right as I clappy, this is what you hear, like a little golf clap from someone you don't know. That actor, that guy Sebastian Stan from the Marvel movies, he plays that character, Bucky. Yeah. Winter Soldier guy or something. He's doing this Donald Trump movie and he's out there. I want you to listen again to this, like the tone and the rhetoric that these people buy into that the psychotherapist on the show yesterday was talking about as to why these TDS infected liberals come in their office and think it's the end of times. Because that's all anybody tells them. Hollywood, academia, their little circle of Karen friends. Check this out. It's just not a laughing matter, to be honest. It isn't. You know, it's. I think we're in a really, really bad place. I really do. And to be honest with you, it's like when you're looking at what's happening, right, which is if we're talking about the consolidate, consolidation of the media, censorship, the threats, the supposed lawsuits that seemingly never end but don't actually go anywhere, you know, the writing was on the wall. We encountered all that with the movie, you know, to the point where we were three days before the festival unsure if the movie was going to play at the festival. So, you know, it's. Maybe people are paying attention more to that film. I think it will stand the test of time for that. But we went through all of it right before Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colby and so on, you know. Now I want to do a compare and contrast because the foil matters, ladies and gentlemen. Campaigns are snapshots and sound bites and contrast. Please do not think anything else. Look at the Spencer Pratt campaign. Other campaigns, you people, People are not voting on white papers. They aren't. They're busy. They've got kids, Little League games to go to, volleyball games, whatever. They don't have time to read a 6,000 page manifesto manifest to a marginal tax policies. They just don't have the time. It's not that they're not interested. They don't have the time. Campaigns are short pictures, images, snapshots and sound bites. Short clips. That's all it is. Those snapshots and sound bites should create a contrast. Here is why I'm good. Here's why my opponent's bad. That is what a campaign should be. Very simple. Do not overcomplicate it. It's a binary. I play that clip about this deep, dark end of the world. Manichean talk by the left all the time. It's over. It's not. What are you talking about? There's never been a better time to be alive, more prosperous time to be alive than live in America right now. What are you even talking about? Tell that to the American warriors who fought in the trenches of World War I and oh my God, such a terrible time to be alive now. Really, really tell people how to deal with the threat of the. In the Cuban Missile crisis of a, you know, Russian nuclear missile hitting the United States when it was real,
B
over
A
that course of a little over a week. Tell them like, oh, this is the worst time to be alive. I mean, out of here with that shit. Here's JD Vance yesterday, who again crushed it. Our bench is deep. Our bench is deep. Here's Vice President Vance yesterday sat in for Caroline Levitt, who's still out on maternity leave. And at the end, he's asked a question about religion and faith. Listen to the way our people talk. Rubio Vance, President Trump, about how great the United States is. And the other side, the Winter soldier cat, Gavin Newsom. We don't have to argue anymore. F that Hakeem Jerry's goes full of Andre, I will break you. Then. You got this. He thinks he's in a movie. Sebastian Stan forgot he's in a movie. Talking in real life. Listen, the way JD Vance talks about religion and stuff. Our bench is deep. Their bench is full of little mini authoritarians. Check this out.
B
The principle of religious violence is particularly
A
disgusting, especially in the United States of America. And as a devout Christian, I would say it's one of the most anti
B
Christian things and anti American things that you could do. And here's why. One, because a fundamental principle of all the great faiths is we are all children of God.
A
And because of that, we are endowed
B
by certain rights that are unique to our status as human beings.
A
You violate those rights.
B
Most importantly, when you commit violence against
A
another person, you can violate them in
B
other ways as well. But the most profound way to violate
A
the fundamental right of human dignity is to commit violence. But here's why the religious piece of
B
it is particularly egregious. One of the fundamental American rights that
A
I think came from our Christian heritage as a civilization is the idea that we respect people's religious freedom in part because we respect them as human beings, but also because we respect their right
B
to find their own pathway to God.
A
You can't force anybody to a pathway to God.
B
They have to, through their own free
A
will, find God themselves. That's one of the reasons why that
B
right of religious freedom is the very first right enshrined in our Constitution.
A
The Vice President. You guys see like an index card in front of him or like a teleprompter? No, because he talks like a normal person who believes in the cause of America, just like Rubio did. In contrast to Newsom. We don't need to win arguments anymore. Effort. We're done. Folks, I got a lot more show here for you, too. I'm going to switch gears a little bit right now because campaigning, as I said, is about creating the contrast I just painted for you. Here's J.D. vance talking about the, you know, the glories of freedom and freedom of religion, the ability to worship the horrors of, of religious violence. And then you got these other goofballs. I'm going to break you all this other shit. Contrast. How do we do it? We do it online. And the reason the Republican Party has been succeeding is because there is an army of folks out there who understand how to use social media and elsewhere. Folks rage bots do not win campaigns. Real people, real ads. That's how it works. Now. We've been promoting the show for a long time. You know, Kevin O', Leary, Mr. Wonderful. If you were involved in an activist campaign, content creation. There's this thing out there called clipping. We use it. Other shows use it. It's just a way to market your show. If you're not marketing your show, you're losing. You clip segments of the show to create sound bites. And snapshots. Because some people, some people just don't have the time to watch the entire, you know, hour and a half, two hour podcast. Sometimes they just don't. Matter of fact, I read an article that the most popular podcast in the world, Joe Rogan, that a lot of people just consume his show and TikTok in bits. Here's Kevin O' Leary on the value of this. Now I play this here because if you're in political organizing too, we saw last night, rage bots don't work. Rage bots, calling people pedophiles and all this other stuff, it's a zero. You're going to lose fake community notes. You're going to get your ass handed to you. Put some time into real quality clips and content development and you'll be able to measure the metric on the output side, whether it's votes or whether it's business success. Listen to this. It's an important clip if you're in business or in politics. Check this out. I think the job that gets you the most money now is if you have talents in social media for customer acquisition. I used to pay those guys 48 grand a year and now they're 250,000 because you can measure their work based on customer acquisition every week. So most of them become contractors. You know, they make half a million dollars a year because they know how to take content, turn it into a 59 second ad on social and acquire 200 customers. That's a very specific. So remember, everybody said you have to be an engineer. An engineer, an engineer. Now you want to be an artist again, write stories, acquire customers, know how the social media platforms work, know how to post on TikTok versus LinkedIn versus Twitter versus Instagram. Those people in their early 20s are so, so valuable now. So if you know how to use your phone, somebody wants to hire you. Snapshots and sound bite, sound bites, folks create a contrast. It works in business too. Why pick my product, my pet rock over this team's pet rock? Why? One of the things I was told early on that was really helpful for me early on in doing the show is that the left is better at creating an emotional response to their political arguments because a lot of their people who are donors, you know, are in spaces that require creativity. A lot of them are artists, a lot of them are Hollywood people. It requires ingenuity and creativity. A lot of folks who are on the Republican side are, you know, high operating leverage businesses in the petrochemical space. And it's not really about marketing. It's more about like efficiencies in business. So a lot of them aren't as creative. We have to get creative. This younger generation of people, which I said in the beginning of the show, we can't forfeit. We're going to need them for their creativity online. Don't forfeit that argument and don't sell them short that the only way out is selling them like, oh, this group of people really did horrible. So you should blame them. That's leftist bullshit. And one of the movements I'm really proud that has taken hold inside the Republican MAGA tent is the Maha movement to Make America Healthy Again movement. Ladies and gentlemen, it's not just about physical health. It's about spiritual health. Do you see this news report? You're seeing this just rejuvenation of spirituality in the United States. And I'm seeing a lot of younger folks too. If you go on Instagram and you see tons of these. Jasmine got me into this. These religious, I don't want to call it even gospel music, but religious oriented music. You see like hundreds and thousands of these kids singing along. There's been a spiritual revival in the United States. That's part of this Maha movement too. Not everything is your physical health. You got to see this story. I saw out now in Florida, out in Hannah Park, a mass baptism on the beach. I've seen this on college campuses too. It's amazing. Even at Auburn. Check this out.
B
More than 2,000 people baptized during the Church of 1122's annual beach baptism at Hannah Park. Take a look. This video shows the thousands of people from across the first coast that took part in the major event. The church tells us around 2,500 people were baptized.
A
I love to see that. I love to see that. You're not beyond saving folks. I am not your preacher. I am not your moral compass. I can't say that enough. However, I can proudly say that if I'm not beyond saving. You're not beyond saving. There is a spiritual revival going on inside this Maha movement too. These younger folks, don't sell them short. Just give them another option. Don't teach them to learn to be helpless. Give them an out and they'll take it. The Maha movement is strong. I like these little Maha moments. You got our little Maha moment thing. I know you guys are very proud of this. Here's another one coming up for you. You know, I'm obsessed with these health acts. This is a good one. Check this out. Freezing bread before toasting.
B
Pass or keep.
A
Oh, that's a keep for sure.
B
Why?
A
When you freeze bread, there is a process that happens in the starch. So the starch is the one that really spikes your blood sugar. It's called starch retro degradation. That means that the starch starts change into something called resistant starch. What is resistant starch? Food for our gut bacteria. Acts like fiber and lowers the glycemic impact. So leave your bread in the freezer
B
essentially, and then when you want it,
A
toast it like you would usually toast it. You can do that with bagels, you can do that with bread. You can even do the overnight refrigerating thing. You could do that with pasta, with potatoes, with rice.
B
Really?
A
So pasta, potatoes, rice, freezer. That goes in the refrigerator. Oh, refrigerator. Bread goes in the fridge. Folks, this trick 100% works. It is the easiest thing ever. Yes. You may have to cook the food the day before, but you're gonna cook it anyway, so who cares? Make a big pot of white rice if that's what you eat. Stick it in the freezer. The reheating process makes it really resistant, harder to digest. You eat up a lot of the calories in the digestion process. This totally works. I, Paul and I do this all the time. Bread in the freezer. Easiest trick ever. Maha moment of the day. That's what I'm here for. I love me some life hacks because I'm 51 years old. I don't have any shortcuts anymore. Everything's got to be tough for me now. That one's an easy one. However, it works, I promise you. All right, I got Vince Colonnades coming up in a minute. We're going to talk Paxton, we're going to talk the Massey victory. We're going to talk tds. We got a whole bunch to discuss. You know, we love Vince, folks. You know, I'm not a big gambler, but I've been having a lot of fun looking at marketplace predictions. I was last night for everything from politics to sports.

Welcome him back to the show for his bi weekly appearance. The the great Vince Colonnade dominates the mornings on live streaming, 8am Eastern Time. Rumble.com Vince had another huge audience today. Congratulations on all the success of Vince. So last night, another set of resounding victories for President Trump and his primary endorsements. The big headline race, obviously Congressman Tom Massie losing his primary by 10 points. However, it wasn't just that there were another a number of Trump candidates and runoffs that that did well in runoffs in Georgia. The Georgia Supreme Court race went well. You had a number of big the obviously the Cassidy loss. This is clearly Republican Party moving in the more MAGA direction now.
B
No question at all. President Trump had a huge night. I think one count Fox had was something like 30 races that all went Trump's direction or are now headed to runoffs with Trump's favored guy in the lead, which is great. And it's a clear sign that President Trump and his agenda has a tremendous amount of momentum. I'd say the three things at least that I was highlighting this morning in my notes, of course, the Thomas Massie race, a resounding defeat for Thomas Massie. I could talk about that a little bit more with you in a moment. Then I look at Andy Barr winning in Kentucky to become the guy who's going to replace Mitch McConnell. We're looking for a change of pace from Mitch McConnell, a dramatic one. And Mitch McConnell's been in that seat for a billion years. And you know, Nate Morris was in that race for a while. A great candidate. Charlie Kirk had endorsed him. Wonderful. President Trump said, hey, would you do me a favor, Nate? We jump out of this race, I'll give you an ambassadorship. But what we want is somebody to really clean up here. I think Andy Barr can do it. Nate Morris does the endorsement of Andy Barr as well. And this guy just sails through, dominates Daniel Cameron, which is great. And this and if this ends up being what President Trump is promising, a massive Break from the Mitch McConnell, which will dramatically improve the United States Senate. And then finally, just another smaller race, but an important one in Georgia. Brad Raffensperger just got thrown out of the governor's race. And ending a saga of drama where Raffensperger was just really a gigantic pain in the ass. I think as President, Trump was rightly raising all sorts of concerns about election fraud in 2020. I think what we've seen is the end of Raffensperger's time in politics. So, yeah, tremendous amount of energy for the President's picks yesterday.
A
Vince, in your time observing politics, I mean, we're in the poll. It's not a sports show, it's a politics show. Have you ever seen an endorsement carry this much weight? I mean, I don't, I don't want to put you on the spot. I bet if you thought about maybe someone comes in second or third. I haven't seen even a close second. I mean, I remember, remember when Sarah Palin was at the peak of her popularity post McCain, that endorsement got some attention. I don't know if it carried the tactical winning weight. I'm pretty sure it didn't. But it definitely carried with it some earned media cachet. But I've never seen anything like this where, you know, his endorsement, even when you factor out cases where maybe there was an endorsement, the guy was favorite and favorite in advance.
B
Yeah.
A
I mean, even like the Ron DeSantis gubernatorial, the original gubernatorial, you know, he was behind a bit, and Trump comes in and, and endorses him and boom. I mean, his endorsement is just the gold standard.
B
I totally agree. And I don't think we've ever seen anything like it. And in fact, the prospect of a Trump endorsement gets political candidates to actually change their views to something that matches what Americans actually want. And I'll give you an example of it. It's John Cornyn. We just saw this huge endorsement yesterday for Ken Paxton that we could dive into a little bit. But I just, just to. To comment on this particular question, when President Trump withholds his endorsement from both Cornyn and Paxton earlier this year, and Cornyn's like, what the hell? I wanted the endorsement. Cornyn instantly starts coming out and going, I'm for the Save America Act. I'm forgetting rid of the filibuster. I'm for doing the standing filibuster. Whatever it takes. Suddenly the guy is singing from our hymnal. He's singing from this bass is hymnal like, I'm all. I'm all for those things. And the reason for that is because how desperate he is for that Trump endorsement, because he does know that it carries tremendous weight. President Trump's voters take him very seriously. They've, they keep voting for him. They've now voted for him three times for President of the United States. And that coalition's only grown. And there is an awareness, including among a corrupt establishment, is that, look, if President Trump endorses against you, things are not going to go well for your future.
A
That's a great point, though. How? It's not. That's how powerful it is. And folks, this is just an objective statement. That's factual. His endorsement moves the political needle. Well, you can call it an opinion all you want, but the numbers back it up. But it's a great point you made that even the non endorsement in a race or the hint of an endorsement is enough to move the tactical needle. There was one thing I saw last night about the Massie race and I saw a number of people who are, you know, I think on my side in this. I was not a Massie fan, as I said earlier in the show, for a number of reasons. However, a couple folks said, well, listen, young voters really liked Massie. And I say, you know, I absolutely capitulate that point. There are a lot of young voters who are going in this direction. However, I am not willing to capitulate to folks out there that this new, you know, anti Semitic strain of the party and this endless focus on the Jews and elsewhere is like the key issue. We need to attract young voters. I'm not capitulating. Young voters are very smart. I just got off a call not that long ago on a business deal. I'm working with a 26 year old young man who just absolutely like, astounded me. I couldn't believe how smart this guy was. They're very young. I think the issue we're having now is that younger voters with, you know, the generational problem with housing costs and things like that and inflation, they feel kind of left out of the market, worried about AI. It's up to us to come up for solutions. We shouldn't just ignore that because that is accurate. There is an appeal for people who are disgruntled and upset, that feel like they've been left behind, who are looking for an outlet.
B
Yeah, there's, I think there's a lot of components to this. One is that young people rightly distrust a lot of the institution, institutions that are supposed to have been serving us for years. We've seen institutions betray us over and over. And over again. You'd have to be an idiot to credit, like, to instantly trust any of these major institutions. You have to be. And I think young people are very wise to that. They deserve. I think young people deserve more credit than they probably get for their wisdom on that subject. The other piece is like, look, fundamentally, any voters paying attention to what's happening in the United States of America is obsessed with this concept of how do we take care of our, our country first? And so what spills out of that concern about what our foreign entanglements look like? You know, George Washington, from the very beginning of our country was warning about messy foreign entanglements and not doing anything that comes at our expense as a result. Yes. There's conversations about places like Ukraine, Israel, NATO that clearly I think can and should happen in a very healthy way. That's like, okay, is there anything that's coming at our expense that's definitely happening out there? Some people take it too far. Some people go downright, as you point out, anti Semitic garbage, just utter garbage. But real healthy debate, that's perfectly fine. My, my thing about Thomas Massie, the thing that, that drove me crazy here about Massie, Massie's a guy who, I like that he was obsessed with the national debt. He has this little debt clock on his pocket, MIT engineer guys living off the grid, kind of something kind of charming about all that. But then he comes along and he joins Blue Anon like he's, he's feeding, he's breathing life into conspiracy theories about President Trump. He did a press conference, Daniel, in the fall of last year, where there's people standing behind him holding up signs that say, Donald Trump's a pedophile. And I'm looking at that going, what the hell is that? There's nothing healthy, productive, useful about that. All that's doing is breathing life into the very lunacy that has led now to multiple assassination attempts against President Trump. How about we just stop that garbage? And so I think when you start seeing that, I thought the writing was on the wall for Massie to be thrown out. The voters in Kentucky just did it. You're right. I think there are generational things that Republicans would do well to pay attention to. But don't for a moment, don't just reject the young people and their political sentiments and say, oh, they're a lost cause. That's how you lose as a political party. You have to take them seriously. And if they're getting their grievances wrong, you have to tell them why you
A
have a better Take, man, listen, we have got to fight back against this stuff. The conservative and Republican movement has been the party of civil liberties for generations. That's just an objective fact. And we're never gonna. That's the treehouse rules, man. You know, this is a. It's just like a club. It's a party. It's, you know, you don't have to be here, but we're never gonna change our values just for the sake of a few votes. If it means tossing our morality out the window and out of the treehouse, we're not doing it. You know, that reminds me, though, I had a guest on yesterday, John Albert, as a book out called Therapy Nation. He's a psychotherapist. He has a lot of patience, and he was talking about how a lot of these liberals, patients come in and they just can't divorce their political life from their personal life. They internalize this TDS as Trump Derangement Syndrome. He's like, dan, it's a very real thing. And that's what leads to what you just said, this explosion in violence. And that's why I covered earlier in the show some of this rhetoric by Hakeem Jeffries and others about, you know, we're going to break you guys. Like, everything's a Manichean end of the world fight. You know, obviously the Nazi fascist rhetoric, Trump's a pedophile, all this crazy nonsense. You have to understand, like, you're talking to a group of people, Vince, that don't have the coping mechanisms. People like you and I have. You and I live this stuff every day. If there was anyone whose life was going to be destroyed by politics that don't go their way, it should be us. It's like you and I are like the owners of, like, the Yankees and they lose the World Series or so we should be the ones so upset. We're lashing out all over the place. Yet I think conservatives, due to faith, family and their faith in communities there, they have that release valve that sadly not all, but a lot of liberals just don't have.
B
You know, I think there are a couple elements to why you have this kind of emotional control. I think part of this is just like one belief in God, like a sense of the eternal, realizing that it's not all about this life, that this is not an end all, be all. I'm not God and I'm living according to his plan, or I hope I do. I try to. So that's. That's one that, that, that calms me down a bit. From. From thinking everything is some sort of existential crisis. Another is, I'm a husband and I'm a father. If I was being a psychopath all the time, my family would fall apart. My prime. One of my primary jobs in my household is I'm an emotional mitigator. I'm here to calm down the chaos. I'm here to bring some stability to the room. I'm here. I'm trained by virtue of my relationships to just be like, all right, let's settle down. Let's figure out what the hell's going on. That's. That's kind of the thing. This is why. This is actually why I think marriage and fatherhood is very good for men. Not only is it. Is it just great to have this in your life, it improves you. It improves you dramatically. And it's sad to see, you know, you see, like, I. I made some judgments, some snap judgments this week about, you know, those women who were standing on the steps of City hall rooting on Luigi Mangione, assassinating the United Health Care CEO.
A
It was so sick.
B
And of course, Mamdani gave them press passes to do it. Like, yeah, sure, go out there and tell people how this. How it's great to assassinate people. But I instantly made some, Some. Some judgments about their personal lives. They're sad, they're alone. They don't have real parenting in their life. They've got some sort of daddy issues. Like, there's something psychologically missing for these people, and they're filling it with this chaos as they're standing on the steps, rooting on the destruction of our society. Like, I think normal people with. With skin in the game, who have children to look after, who have families to care for, who have something worth preserving, they're not like this like normal people. They're not interested in advancing chaos. They want order because they'd like to leave a wonderful world to their children. I. I just.
A
It is.
B
It is sad to see what's happening. But I, I, Dan, I continue to hold out hope that we can change it. This is why I fight for election integrity and why I say so often to pray for your country. Because I do think that the power of prayer really can lead people away from that madness, you know?
A
I hope so. One of my favorite books, Andrew Wilcow loves it too. It's Revolt against the Masses. It's just a fantastic book by Fred Siegel. I think he passed a couple of years ago, was it? But it's an amazing book, and it's basically a chapter by Chapter story of the left's history of admiring the European aristocracy and the paternalism that comes along with being a progressive communist socialist. This idea that there are levels of freedom and the great unwashed. Without the government daddy government will fall apart. You know, conservatives think the opposite. Vince. Conservative think. Conservatives feel like there's the creator is endowed upon all of us, all of us inalienable rights. It's in our founding documents. And I think that's where a lot of this victimhood comes from. I even saw that Will I Am was on Bill Maher and was talking about how people in, like the Congo, they look for a different level of freedom. Like, no, no, no, they don't. Like, there's universal values of freedom. And I think that's where a lot of this violence and victimhood comes from. Because they feel that way. Their daddy is government, that they don't need a family, like, they don't need to have kids. You know, reproductive care means abortion to them, not actually loving a child. And that's where I think you get this rage and anger. Just to harp on your point. Having said that, while we're on the topic is Will I am. I played a clip yesterday of red carpet at a movie. A bunch of Hollywood goofball celebrities, honestly, I'd never heard of. I'm not playing games. I just didn't know who they were. I gotta see more movies, I guess, talking about the evils of capitalism. And this is the kind of stuff that appeals to young people, but not the same people like you and I. Because all you have to do is ask a simple question. What component of capitalism are you renouncing right now? Is it the private property component? Is it the price component? Would you rather rationing? What part are you renouncing? And they just can't answer the question.
B
I totally agree. And the irony, of course, is that usually the thing that they hate is corruption. Usually with. If you really boil it down to like, what's the thing that's actually hurting the country? It's like cronyism. Corruption is where the government interferes with the market. And that's the thing, they don't realize that. That's. This is why, you know, I'm constantly asked about by conservative parents about their kids, like, how do I tell my kid that Trump's not evil, Trump's not evil. And I and I, because it's just sometimes, sometimes, although more and more young people like Trump these days, but it has been in the past that a lot of young people are just being trained propagandized into believing this. And I say, look, right now they're skeptical of Trump. They see him as a powerful person and they think he's corrupt. Whatever it is that they think about him, you're not going to convince them right away to love Trump. You can't. You might not be able to do that ever. But just ask them to widen the lens. Just set their sights on all of these institutions and figure out to what extent are they corrupt? To what extent is this company in bed with government at our expense? To what extent are we being hurt by these other big power centers? That's, I think that's, you should cultivate this skepticism in young people. But this idea that you would attack capitalism, fundamentally, there's no, no economic system is going to be perfect. The best one we found so far is capitalism. Capitalism has been the absolute best for lifting people out of poverty, for keeping people alive, for helping them to endure the elements of, for, for bringing people to levels of wealth of all skin colors that have never been before seen in, in world history. Capitalism is the best damn system for lifting people out of that. And the people who are attacking it are just doing it merely for the power purposes, specifically of the Democrat Party. And we have to call that out for what it is.
A
Yeah, you can't get emotional about this. You have to look at the spreadsheets. I say to people all the time, don't get emotional about candidates, getting emotional about results. And once you start to look at it through that lens, that aperture, you'll see this beautiful vista out there, that freedom of markets, which is all capitalism is, all that it produces. I'll end with this one because I know it's something you had discussed on the 8am show. Check them out every day. Rumble.com Vince0800 Eastern Time Live with a video on demand anytime. Ken Paxton, obviously a hot, hot Senate race, running against Communist James Tallarico. Paxton, huge endorsement. He's running against incumbent John Cornyn yesterday. I don't think a lot of folks saw that coming. I think a lot of people thought when there was an announcement yesterday there was going to be an announcement about endorsement. I saw all over Twitter. I can't believe Trump's going to go for Gordon. And man, he throws like the knuckleball. Not even the curveball endorses. Paxton obviously carries a lot of weight in that race. It's not a fait accompli yet. However, as we addressed earlier, it's a very powerful endorsement. You know, I contrast it with the Massie Race. Because a lot of people who are angry about Massey losing, like, well, you have to. Trump demands total loyalty. Well, that's just total bullshit. He does not demand loyalty. He was on stage yesterday with Mark Cuban because he's trying to lower drug prices and he feels like he's got a partner. But I think he also understands the feelings of the base. I think that's what happened with the Paxton endorsement. The base is very strongly behind Ken Paxton. So it kind of was like compare and contrast yesterday.
B
Okay, so there's a lot in here. And all of us, anyone who thinks about President Trump, you psychoanalyze him a lot. I think it's just. We all do it. We're like, what is he? What is he thinking? What is he doing? How is he operating? But here's one of the conclusions I've made through the years. Two points on what you just said. One, Donald Trump believes in human potential more. More than almost anybody I've ever seen in American politics. And he never gets credit for this. And here's why I say this, because even to this very day, as much as he attacks, like, the fake news media, the enemy of the American people, the New York Times, he still calls Maggie Haberman, like, every week to talk to her. Now, why does he do that? The answer is because he believes in the end, he can win her over. He still believes in the end that he can win over some of his worst enemies and that they will join him in his fight for this country. So in a way, as much as he's demonized as a guy, he's like, he's a dictator. He's treating everybody like crap. Actually, he, more so than almost anybody in American politics, believes in the potential of even his enemies to finally come to his side. So that's why you see Mark Cuban standing next to him on stage. The other is that Donald Trump appreciates the feedback loop that he gets from his base. He listens. President Trump takes input. You know this as a guy who's worked closer with him than most of the people who are listening to you right now. You've seen him up close. He takes feedback, he asks for feedback. He wants to know what people think about what he's up to. I'm reminded if you go back in time when he was standing on a rally stage and he started to use the phrase drain the swamp for the first time to refer to Washington, D.C. that was not his phrase. Somebody else on his campaign came up with drain the swamp, and he didn't think much of it. He Thought it was. I don't really like it. It's all right. It's all right.
A
Whatever.
B
But he used it on stage. And the reason I know this is because he literally told this story on a rally stage. And he said once he saw the audience reaction, that they loved the expression drain the swamp. He was all in. He's like, well, the bass loves it. The people love it. I'm doing it. And so he started doing it over and over and over again. This Ken Paxton, John Cornyn thing that we just witnessed is one of the most amazing political sequences that you and I will ever see. President Trump was on the verge, according to all public reporting, of endorsing John Cornyn. That was in the. That was in all the media outlets. He's about to do it. He's about to do it. That was earlier this year. And when that news story came out, the base rebelled. They went crazy. They were all over truth social telling. The President of the United States, don't do this. Endorse John Paxton. Ken Paxton. Excuse me, don't endorse Cornyn. Cornyn's establishment, he's going to sabotage you. You need your agenda passed.
A
It was.
B
It was ubiquitous. Everybody was saying, go for Paxton. The president heeded this. And then Paxton pulled off one of the most miraculous rabbits out of the hat that I've ever seen. He posted on X the following. He said, I am willing to drop out of this race if the Senate passes the Save America Act. That's the circumstance, right? When he did that, it changed the ball game, because President Trump saw that and went, damn, that's who I want in the Senate. So he withheld his endorsement until yesterday. We have a week left in this big Senate race. And the President came flying in and gave that endorsement to Ken Paxton and said, look, John Cornyn's a good guy, but he hasn't been there when I needed him. Cornyn paid lip service to the Save America act in these final weeks, but that's not good enough. And for the base, it's definitely not good enough, because we can smell it. President Trump can smell it, too. Cornyn is an establishment guy. They were trying to protect him. Tim Scott, John Thune, they were begging, President Trump, please endorse Cornyn. He didn't listen to him. He listened to his base and he endorsed Ken Paxton. And I think it's to our betterment as a country. It's going to be great. Ken Paxton's won a bunch of races already in Texas. He's won statewide races twice. So he's going to be great.
A
I played a clip about that earlier in the show and I got to run. But that I find that to be a really disingenuous criticism. The Wall Street Journal op ed section lost their mind last night about this, saying how basically hinting that Cornyn was like a shoe in and Paxton didn't have a good chance of winning. Paxton's won statewide and when Donald Trump is endorsing in a state race where he realizes there are practicalities, a blue if not purple state, he's been very practical and like, I get it, I have to win. And this person may not be the most die hard MAGA person. He's done that before. This is Texas though, and he has faith in Texas voters that this guy's won a of couple, couple times. He's definitely the more conservative candidate. So I find that that criticism to
B
be just how can he be more electable? Cornyn couldn't even win 50% of the vote in the primary. He's the incumbent Republican senator. He couldn't get 50%. So how is he more electable? That's a cover. That's, you know, that's a cover from the establishment. They had one of their guys, they can work him and now they're losing him and so they're trying to come up with some creative cover for why he would have been better. It's, it's a lie.
A
Yeah, that's right. Paxton again has won a couple times. It's not like he has no experience winning statewide in Texas.

The Dan Bongino Show — Episode 2519 "Get Out!"
Date: May 20, 2026
Host: Dan Bongino
Guest: Vince Coglianese
In this fiery episode, Dan Bongino reacts to the results of the Kentucky 4th primary, focusing on the defeat of incumbent Tom Massie. With characteristic directness, Bongino delivers a broadside against what he calls the infiltration of the conservative movement by anti-Semitic elements, media rage-bots, and those promoting victimhood politics. He repeatedly stresses that genuine conservatism is about civil liberties, constitutional rights, and measurable results, not identity politics or "blaming the Jews." Later, Bongino is joined by Vince Coglianese to dissect the political landscape, highlight the power of Trump’s endorsements, and discuss the importance of emotional stability and faith in politics.
