Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Programming Notes & Personal Update

• [00:11–01:48]

  • Dan Bongino announces schedule changes—no show tomorrow or the upcoming Monday due to important (but unspecified) opportunities. He assures the audience it’s not a health crisis and promises valuable updates upon his return:
    • "It's not an emergency. I'm not dying. It's nothing serious. It's just an opportunity presented itself for something and I will talk to you about it on Wednesday." (00:27, Dan Bongino)

• New merchandise is highlighted: “250 years of freedom, liberty and kicking ass.”

• Prepares listeners for a somber, personal segment addressing attacks against him:

---

2. Internal Threats to the Conservative Movement

• [04:58–13:54]
  • Dan laments the movement being “hijacked from the inside” due to mind viruses and misinformation:
    • "The movement, ladies and gentlemen, is being hijacked from the inside... Suckers are falling for it. You do not want to be these people." (06:49)
  • Uses the incident at a Turning Point event involving Erica Kirk (widow of a slain conservative activist) as an example:
    • Erica is harassed with baseless accusations (“protects pedophile”) by an activist, which Dan decries as a symptom of movement rot.
    • "I'm not going to say someone's going to die because someone's already dead. I'm not going to say President Trump's life's going to be in danger because it's already in danger. Something is going to happen because of these lunatics." (12:16)
  • Warns about the proliferation of “rage bot armies” and cautions listeners not to be manipulated by artificial online outrage.

---

3. Media Misinformation and Loss of Trust

• [07:03–11:48]
  • Criticizes former “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley’s denial of media bias and cites polling data showing public trust in media has collapsed:
    • "Trust in the media is down 53 points. Trust in the media. Percentage of Americans who have a great deal or quite a lot of trust in the mass media, it is less than 20%." (09:21, Justin quoting poll)
  • Reiterates the importance of “objective truth” for any movement to survive:
    • "You need some component of objective truth to have a movement. Do not become these guys." (07:05)

4. Direct Confrontation with Tucker Carlson & Conservative Media Infighting

• [15:03–26:36]
  • Dan calls out Tucker Carlson, his brother, and others for promoting chaos and insinuating conspiracies (Epstein topics, antisemitic dog whistles):
    • "Tucker wants to make sure and these people that maximum chaos results..." (16:18)
    • "...Because remember, there's only one criteria for Tucker to be your friend that appears at this point, and that's like, where you are on the Jews. Like, that's it." (21:12)
  • Accuses Carlson of hypocrisy regarding his friendship with Hunter Biden and accuses certain factions of being “snake oil salesmen, hucksters, and bullshit artists.”
  • Presents “receipts” and clips to counter claims about Bongino’s role in the Epstein investigation, clarifying he pushed for transparency:
    • "Painting me as part of some, like, elite class of people covering up this thing when I was resolutely focused on it and tasked hundreds of guys... You're just doing it because you either want me to get hurt or you want other people to get hurt, too." (23:30)
  • Repeated expressions of disgust at antisemitism and identity politics within segments of the right.

---

5. Critique of Extremism and Hypocrisy within the Movement

• [26:45–29:30]
  • Points out how conspiracy- and hate-driven factions are crowding out rational debate, using examples of people appearing more disturbed by an Israeli flag tattoo than a Nazi tattoo.

---

6. Government Reform & Bureaucracy Reduction

• [32:00–36:23]
  • Briefly discusses Trump’s appointment of Bill Pulte as acting DNI and the broader philosophical opposition to bureaucratic bloat:

---

7. National Security & Foreign Policy

• [36:23–38:57]
  • Plays statements from Marco Rubio denouncing the destabilizing influence of Iran across the Middle East:
    • "Every problem in the Middle east tracks back to Iran... They are a destabilizing, dangerous, evil force that had to be dealt with. They have to be weakened." (36:35, Marco Rubio)
  • Discusses Trump’s fiery interview with Kristen Welker on Iran, the nuclear deal, and his administration’s foreign policy:
    • "If I didn't go in there with the B2 bombers, they would right now have a nuclear weapon and it could be that half of the world would be eradicated." (38:50, Donald Trump)

---

8. Trump Economy & Media Coverage Bias

• [39:34–41:36]
  • Highlights strong job numbers and contrasts positive economic data with media framing:

  • Critiques California’s slow vote counting and election transparency issues, using them as symbols of Democratic mismanagement:
    • "How hard is it to counter freaking vote? I vote for this guy. I vote for that guy... Just count the freaking votes. Count them. And if it comes in after election day, it's no good. Ask Florida." (47:46)

---

10. Billionaires and Partisan Hypocrisy

• [53:46–56:16]
  • Pushes back on claims that Trump is the candidate of billionaires, pointing out longstanding Democratic ties to wealthy donors and the regulatory advantages for large corporations under progressive governance:

11. Law Enforcement Successes & Terror Threats

• [57:22–59:33]
  • Covers a significant law enforcement case involving ISIS-inspired attack plots thwarted by federal prosecutors:
    • "Another great example of hardworking FBI agents and our federal prosecutors... But it's a good reminder to the Americans that, that this fight is not over. There are still a lot of people that want to inject harm into this country and our citizens." (58:06, Federal Prosecutor)

---

12. Wellness Advice: The Importance of Sleep

• [60:42–62:05]

    • "It's kind of mind blowing how quickly you can gain visceral fat... These men were only sleeping four hours a night for two weeks... They gained 11% visceral fat after that two weeks. But not a pound on the scale." (61:05, Dr. Rhonda Patrick)
    • Dan underscores the importance of sleep to health, especially for working people.

Closing Thoughts

Dan Bongino’s episode is a call against infighting, conspiracy-mongering, and identity hate that threaten to fracture the MAGA movement. He draws clear lines about what constitutes principled conservatism: facts, resolve, and a devotion to objective truth. The episode combines sharp criticism of internal subversion, repeated defenses of his own record, media takedowns, and real-world policy/health advice—all in Bongino’s direct, assertive tone.

---

For New Listeners

This episode is especially valuable for understanding current rifts within the conservative media landscape, Bongino’s perspective on maintaining movement integrity, and recent federal and political news, all explained with characteristic passion and bluntness.

Transcript

[Dan Bongino]

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show, folks.

[Justin]

Couple of announcements.

[Dan Bongino]

I will due to a last minute, let's. What do we call it? Schedule change. Guys, I'm. I don't know how to. I don't know how to describe it.

[Justin]

Um, unfortunately there will not be a show tomorrow.

[Dan Bongino]

I will be back on Wednesday.

[Justin]

It's.

[Dan Bongino]

It's not an emergency. I'm not dying. It is not health related. It's nothing serious. It's just an opportunity presented itself for something and I will talk to you about it on Wednesday. Also, I will not be on the air Monday, a week from today either. It is also another opportunity it had presented itself and you'll understand it'll actually make for a better show the next day. Because having eyes on these matters. If you get where I'm going with this is always better than hearing about it from the left wing media later. You get it? Get it.

[Justin]

Got it.

[Dan Bongino]

You see where I'm going with all this?

[Justin]

So no show tomorrow.

[Dan Bongino]

We'll be back on Wednesday. It's a good thing, not a bad thing and I promise it'll make for a better show. I, you know, wish we didn't have to do it that way, but we do. So well, some of you are figuring it out in the chat.

[Justin]

So. You guys in the chat are the best. We got this new shirt.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't know if you like it.

[Justin]

You know, I love it.

[Dan Bongino]

This was actually one of the few shirts that's ever been my idea. Most of the cool shirts are either from the audience or Paula.

[Justin]

250 years of freedom, liberty and kicking ass.

[Dan Bongino]

Couldn't think of any other way to say it.

[Justin]

That's really what it is been. I love me some history and thinking about Washington, crossing the Delaware, guys with no shoes, freezing to death. Amazing. To undefeated 250 year world chat.

[Dan Bongino]

250 year freedom, liberty and kicking ass. You can check it out at the store. What is it? I'm the worst. I don't even know what stored up on Geno.com up to you. It's just we put them out there. So I got a lot to talk about this week and let me just say in advance before we get to it, I'm really sorry we have to do this. I am. I'm not effing around with you. I don't ask for these things. But when these things fall in my lap, it is my obligation. Because what's starting to happen right now has gotten very serious. I don't talk about it often because it's. The show is about issues and not about me. But when the issue is me, then it's my obligation to correct and expose what's really going on. So I'm really sorry about the portion of the show today and I understand if it's not for you, but it's necessary. It's a long time coming. You'll see what I mean coming up. So I got a lot to talk about today, including Trump's interview this weekend with Kristen Welker, which was just. Which was just epic with a capital E. Hey, many Americans try weight loss shots, but they quit due to costs, side effects, you know. Instead I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. I used it, product was amazing.

[Justin]

Little delay on the bell.

[Dan Bongino]

It's okay. So I understand you guys and ladies out there have real lives. You go out there and you Know you're working for a living. Your plumbers, your H VAC repair people, your engineers, pilots, military, law enforcement. You do things, you create value. Everyone from the, you know, guy or woman out there who creates furniture out there to the guy or woman who writes code that runs our businesses and our water plants and everything else. It's boring to talk about like what a bunch of talking heads have to say about each other. However, when what talking heads say about each other is epidemic of a larger problem within a movement being infected with a mind virus, unfortunately, you are the story. So I was sitting around this weekend, enjoying myself. It was a great weekend on water. I love the water. It's just relaxing. I grew up in New York where the only water we had was a freaking fire hydrant. So for me, living down here in Florida, you know, I'm not. I wouldn't say, like, I have a salt life sticker on my car. That'd be kind of phony. Be like wearing a cowboy hat when I'm from New York. I'm not from Texas. I'm not a cowboy. Okay. However, I really do enjoy it out there, and I had to deal with some knuckleheads, okay? So I'm bringing this up because, ladies and gentlemen, we have a movement to save. And if you saw what happened to Erica Kirk this weekend at a one of her turning point events, normal people would be just absolutely revolted and disgusting. You'd be vomiting like Reagan in the Exorcist. Green pea soup. The movement, ladies and gentlemen, is being hijacked from the inside. I can't say this enough. It's not a coincidence that Hunter Biden has popped out of the woodwork screaming Epstein and the Jews with his old buddy Tucker and elsewhere, you know, popping on conservative shows, trying to decimate and destroy us from the inside, and suckers are falling for it. You do not want to be these people.

[Justin]

The truth is in front of you.

[Dan Bongino]

The receipts are there.

[Justin]

If you choose to believe this crazy

[Dan Bongino]

stuff like the left believed in the Russia collusion hoax, I promise you, you'll go down in flames as the Tower of Babel did. You need some component of objective truth to have a movement. Do not become these guys. Here's Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes, who now is not working there anymore. We affectionately call it 61 minutes after the Kamala Harris Trump campaign and that debacle, the where they tried to when they really screwed over President Trump. Right? Scott Pelley's not there, so he gives

[Justin]

an interview, and I want you to

[Dan Bongino]

listen to this is what happens when you have a movement, not bedrock and a compass, true north, and you get charlatans, clowns, goofballs, alcoholics, zeros, and basically sexual deviants who take over your movement. This is what happens.

[Justin]

You wind up having a movement where

[Dan Bongino]

nobody knows what the truth is anymore. Amazingly, Pelly's not working at 60 Minutes anymore because of a dispute over what he thinks was, you know, media bias or he doesn't understand why people think they're biased and he's looking for evidence.

[Justin]

Now, Scott Pelley's a journalist, so we'll

[Dan Bongino]

give him the evidence. And once we give him the evidence,

[Justin]

after this clip, let's see if Scott

[Dan Bongino]

Pelley revises what he said.

[Justin]

This is what the lack of truth

[Dan Bongino]

looks like in a movement. Check this out. She, I am told, said something to the effect of, why do you think the country thinks you're biased? But she didn't offer any kind of a metric. You know, what's your metric? Why do. Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about? Because we certainly didn't believe that. So is there a poll? Is there market research? Scott Pelley claims to be a journalist.

[Justin]

You know, he could just look that up.

[Dan Bongino]

He could go to, like, chat GPT or Google Gemini or Grok or anything

[Justin]

like that and say, hey, is there a poll about media bias? So because Scott Pelley, who claims to

[Dan Bongino]

be a journalist at 60 Minutes and loves to brag about all his exploits and truth finding and truth, he probably still believes in the Russia hoax for all we know, right? We decided we were going to put up the poll, which has been on the show for days, which he could just look up himself. Hat tip. Christina Wong, who had put this out.

[Justin]

Trust in the media since 1972 to

[Dan Bongino]

2025 is down 5.3 points.

[Justin]

Just like. No, no, no, no, That's. That.

[Dan Bongino]

That's somewhat. It says, Dan. It's not down 5.3 points.

[Justin]

Trust in the media is down 53 points. 53 points. Trust in the media. Percentage of Americans who have a great deal or quite a lot of trust in the mass media, it is less than 20%. 19%. So 1 in 5Americans, only 1 in 5 actually, less than 1 in 5 actually trust the media. This is what it looks like when your freaking job is objective truth. And you ask that up. This wasn't even mine. This took Justin, what, less than two minutes. All sides. CBS News rated lean left. A total of 382 people rated CBS News. There's a poll right there. You can just look at it yourself. Maybe it was your role in promoting the Russia hoax. Maybe it was your role with Leslie Stall. There was no spying on your campaign, sir.

[Dan Bongino]

Did Leslie Stahl miss the FISA warrant, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, FISA court

[Justin]

warrant on the Trump campaign?

[Dan Bongino]

Leslie, Foreign intelligence chats blowing up. I love this. You guys always repping the cause.

[Justin]

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act.

[Dan Bongino]

Courts. Did you miss that? Les, Les lead. You missed out, folks. Do not, and I will not ever let it happen. Not on my watch here. This is the most popular MAGA show out there there. It's not in dispute. That's just the facts, okay? I am not going to let this movement go down in flames. I'm not. I'm not going to let people hijack it. I'm not going to let bullshitters, clowns, bums, zeros and life losers come in here and try to get people off compass true north into these witch hunts out there on where they start this bullshit. They throw a shit grenade in the tent, then they run away. I'm not going to let it happen. So this happened this weekend at Turning Point. This is just disgraceful. Erica Kirk, who's an American hero at this point for what she's had to put up with, her husband was brutally assassinated in a social media assassination where the video went viral probably before they even had the details. There is an active criminal investigation going on right now and there is going to be a due process trial where people are going to have to swear to a set of facts. Okay? Erica Kirk was at a Turning Point event this weekend and some freaking lunatic. Folks, this is getting dangerous. Let me just tell you. Listen, listen to me. This is really important.

[Justin]

Someone.

[Dan Bongino]

I'm not going to say someone's going to die because someone's already dead. I'm not going to say someone's going to get shot because multiple people have already been shot. I'm not going to say President Trump's life's going to be in danger because it's already in danger. Something is going to happen because of these lunatics. I don't make it about me, but there have. We have had numerous issues. Here's Erica Kirk. This is me. This is just disgusting. Check this out.

[Anna Navarro]

It is so fleeting, but the joy of the Lord withstands all.

[Haley Kia]

Erica Kirk protects pedophile. Erica Kirk protects pedophile.

[Dan Bongino]

Pedophile.

[Anna Navarro]

It's important to remember that happiness comes and goes and I pray that you find it.

[Dan Bongino]

Of course, the epitome of class. It's funny how that absolute mother psychopath who say things they came. I don't know if it was a woman or a man based on how crazy these people. I don't know what that was, but say it was the shrieking crazy lunatic. Could have been a dude I don't even know screaming like a lunatic actually thinks like that makes them look good. What you don't realize is the little bot army behind you getting you to do that is not a real authentic measure. Yes, there is a small cabal of crazy people just like you, but the rage bot army you get reinforcement is not real.

[Justin]

Everyone else is either laughing at you

[Dan Bongino]

or is horrified by you. As they sit there and watch Erica Kirk gracefully have to deal with a lunatic after her husband was murdered. A patriot and a hero for the movement. Folks, this is what it looks like. This is what it looks like when you get off Compass True north and you get known. Documented. Here's the receipts, liars and frauds running this movement. So I saw Tucker had that dipshit Jimmy Doof or whatever the F his name is that he calls himself a comedian. I don't even know what he is. Who knows? But we're on the show again and they have this weird, like, it's this passive aggressive kind of thing where Tucker didn't have the balls to say anything direct. So what he does, he brings his people on and he has his social media people do it. Because he's a eunuch, okay? He's a little Nepo baby. He's never him and his and his life. Loser zero of a brother. Their daddy's probably looking down in disgrace that they spawned these two losers.

[Justin]

But he decides to go on a

[Dan Bongino]

show and gets all cute with his social media people again with the Epstein and the Jews and all.

[Justin]

This is just their entire life. Which is kind of weird because his

[Dan Bongino]

buddy, Tucker's buddy, who were both Nepo babies themselves, Hunter Biden, they were buddies.

[Justin]

If there was ever an Epstein class of people, it's these two. It's these two whose entire lives. These little bosom buddies. Hunter Carlson, the tag team, like the

[Dan Bongino]

Road warriors in the wwf.

[Justin]

Like a little tag team. They slap each other off. Are like two little Nepo babies who've never earned a single thing in their entire life.

[Dan Bongino]

Little bums, losers and Fucker.

[Justin]

I mean, Tucker's his brother. Fuckley Buckley is, you know, Fuckley.

[Dan Bongino]

He's another one.

[Justin]

Another little Nepo baby bum.

[Dan Bongino]

What does he do exactly?

[Justin]

So they decide to go on the

[Dan Bongino]

show and bring their little surrogate Jimmy Doof in there. And of course they have to bullshit you again.

[Justin]

So I'll show you some receipts to

[Dan Bongino]

show you how Tucker's just making this up because he just needs again. Tucker wants to make sure and these people that maximum chaos results and that this kind of stuff happens at Turning Point. Not that we focus on what's going on in geopolitics, the economy, the government cleanup happening now. None of that

[Justin]

hat tip, milk bar

[Dan Bongino]

TV for this amazing compilation. So you think Tucker's a beacon of truth? You're one of his audience members. You're like, no, Dan, he's a truth teller, man. Tucker's the guy. He's the compass. True north.

[Justin]

Is he? Here is three straight minutes of a

[Dan Bongino]

now nuclear viral video of fucker Tarlson

[Justin]

out there for three minutes basically debating himself. You only have to debate yourself when you don't remember your own lies.

[Dan Bongino]

You want receipts? Here you go. Check this out.

[Nick Fuentes]

My view is you can kind of tell who's telling the truth. You can smell it.

[Dan Bongino]

You know, you've been talking on your show about whether Trump is the Antichrist.

[Nick Fuentes]

I have not said that.

[Haley Kia]

On your show, you said, could this be the Antichrist?

[Nick Fuentes]

I actually did not say, could this be the Antichrist? Could this be the Antichrist? I don't know where that comes from, but I know that those words never left my lips.

[Dan Bongino]

Raised some eyebrows this week when you said that Hamas is more like a political organization than a terror group.

[Nick Fuentes]

Hamas is, you know, group of jihadis. They're Islamic extremists, which they also claim constantly, which I don't. I don't know if that's true, by the way. Seems more like a political organization.

[Marco Rubio]

I didn't.

[Nick Fuentes]

I didn't actually. I didn't say. I didn't say that. Future that I imagine is not a future in which we're yelling at each other about race. It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent.

[Haley Kia]

You said in our previous interview, the future that I imagine is not a

[Dan Bongino]

future in which we're yelling at each other about race.

[Haley Kia]

It's a future in which people are legitimately revolutionary, maybe even violent.

[Nick Fuentes]

I'm amazed that you have a tape of me saying that, and I just want to disavow it. A lot of young men in America, mostly white, but not exclusively, listen to Nick Fuentes really carefully. This kid is the single most influential figure among young white men. And not just white, actually.

[Dan Bongino]

Is that true?

[Nick Fuentes]

It's definitely true. Of course, half the thing was about Fuentes and like, who care?

[Dan Bongino]

Fuentes. There was a lot of Fuentes. Who cares about.

[Nick Fuentes]

About Fuentes.

[Dan Bongino]

Talk about irrelevant. America's supporting Israel because it's an ally.

[Nick Fuentes]

I don't even know what those words mean. I'm just saying my.

[Dan Bongino]

They're an ally, right? I mean, they, they both know what

[Nick Fuentes]

that means to be an ally. Qatar is like one of our closest allies in the world. The largest American air base in the Middle east is in Qatar. They're a close ally of ours. I come to Israel and the infrastructure we're flying in and I said to my buddy, I was like, man, the looks, first of all, looks great. I love the agriculture in Israel because. Beautiful. I love green, I love plants.

[Dan Bongino]

I remember when it didn't look like that.

[Marco Rubio]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nick Fuentes]

First time I came in, 53 years ago. It's great. Israel, which is one of the single ugliest countries in the world. Nothing of beauty has been built there since 1948. Sorry, I've been everywhere in that country. And it's true. Let me get to the nub of the question, since again, a lot is at stake. A lot of money is at stake. Land is very valuable. Israel has a lot of resources. We have a huge country. This is a country the size of New Jersey with no resources. An attack on Western civilization looks like this. It's tribalism, it's identity politics. It's dei, it's whatever. It's Zionism. It's. It's any belief system that begins with the understanding that one group is morally superior to other groups, just on principle. Like every other group in the world has the right to its own homeland, except white people. Like what JD has been subject to. This is well known, but I'll just confirm it. Non stop. Treachery.

[Dan Bongino]

You're accusing people of treachery.

[Haley Kia]

So I'm wondering, who do you mean specifically?

[Nick Fuentes]

I don't, you know, I don't know the answer to that. I've never worked there. So, like, if you don't work there, you can say you, you know, you can say what you think you know, but it's hard to really know if I was telling my kids. If you think someone's lying to you, you're right.

[Dan Bongino]

It's not my words. See, unlike Fucker Tarlson, right? Guy's face looks like a dirty fucking Q tip. It gives that stupid look and that cackle. Unlike Fucker, I actually did stuff. Like, did stuff, actual stuff. I didn't see him volunteering for anything. I didn't see him wanting to give up his show and walk away from all that for a government salary. So Tucker's finds it convenient always to bring people on, and it's always two things with them. Because remember, there's only one criteria for Tucker to be your friend that appears at this point, and that's like, where you are on the Jews. Like, that's it. That seems to be his only criteria.

[Justin]

And then conveniently, Hunter Biden, like, pops up again and goes on was it Candace Owens show? And starts talking about what the Epstein

[Dan Bongino]

class and the Jews Epstein class did the connected elites and the.

[Justin]

These are the connected elites. Pull up. You have chatgpt. You think I'm making this up? Tucker Carlson's talking about, like, the connected elites and the Epstein class. Tell me about Tucker Carlson's relationship with Hunter Biden. This isn't me. This is ChatGPT. Tucker and Hunter Biden appear to have a friendly personal relationship for years before

[Dan Bongino]

Carlson became one of Hunter Biden's most prominent media critics. Wow.

[Justin]

They were buddies. Here's some key facts that emerged from

[Dan Bongino]

emails and public reporting. Carlson and his wife asked Hunter for help regarding their son Buckley's application to Georgetown University. It cites the Washington Post. Other emails suggest the two were on friendly terms. Hunter referred to Carlson as a friend. Carlson reportedly intervened with a newspaper editor on Hunter's behalf regarding a personal story. Business Insider. It goes on. You can check it out yourself. And they're talking about the Epstein class.

[Justin]

I tell you what.

[Dan Bongino]

My father was a plumber. My mother worked in finest Supermarket at 64th Place and Myrtle Avenue. I worked in a cemetery cleaning mausoleums. I was a New York City cop, a Secret Service agent, and went and ran the FBI for the past year. I never had some Nepo baby connections. I don't know what your dad. It's not my fault. Like, your whole life has been paved for you, and now you're angry because you are the class of people you're talking about. You're it. It's not me, folks. It's fairly obvious what he's doing right now, and he's causing a very dangerous situation. I get it. Being a public figure, I've said it over and over. It unfortunately comes with the territory, but that doesn't mean I welcome it. And I have a family, too. So if you're going to bullshit people about me, which are, you know, your goofy ass, Jimmy Douchebag, whatever the hell his name is on the show about the whole Epstein thing, I ask, well, what did you do?

[Justin]

Because it's already public information.

[Dan Bongino]

How I didn't want to let the case go.

[Justin]

It was an entire news cycle over

[Dan Bongino]

the summer, in case you missed it. Oh, yeah, we talked about that, didn't we too? You know this. It's already been reported by multiple people in the administration. They're right there. The people that really appreciated what a big deal this are talking about the Epstein case were Cash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. It goes on. These are people outlets, by the way, don't even like me. Vanity Fair, New York Times, the two top FBI officials, Patel and Bongino, had been pushing for a broader release of the Epstein material after finding little in the files that added what was already widely known about the president's interactions with Mr. Epstein. It's right there. You can read it all. Of course, it's all public. He knows that now. Jimmy Douchebag doesn't know. Jimmy Douchebag has probably got the IQ of a speckled toed sloth, but Tucker knows that. Tucker just wants to cause a dangerous situation for me and others. Now, the fact that I was always on the side of transparency here, and it was a process, believe me, it was complicated. It was grand jury material, victims names, Anyone telling you it was easy. I told you, there's no heroes in the story, okay? There were a lot of people who really tried hard to get this, and now it's out there and you can check it out yourself. But painting me as part of some, like, elite class of people covering up this thing when I was resolutely focused on it and tasked hundreds of guys to this case to go through everything on it. You're just doing it because you either you want me to get hurt or you want other people to get hurt, too. He knows that's bullshit. By the way, Tucker's son worked in the administration himself. It's just a fact. I'm sure he aired his grievances, right? Oh, he did. Oh, that's all?

[Justin]

I don't say that's off limits.

[Dan Bongino]

My family's okay. Did he. Did he air his grievances? I don't know. I don't know, folks. You don't want to become like these people. Scott Pelley and this freaking lunatic. This is what happens when you start to get. When objective truth doesn't matter and a bunch of snake oil salesmen, hucksters, and bullshit artists at a 1920s carnival start to take off and start to gain prominence. This is how the Tower of Babel happens, when there is no objective truth anymore. And clowns like this loser who I

[Justin]

just played to you Three minutes of receipts from Milk Bar tv. What else could you possibly want to hear? That he's making this. I just showed you receipts. How? The story he's telling you about Epstein

[Dan Bongino]

and the Epstein class.

[Justin]

He is the Epstein class. I was on the other side of that, but he's inverted it because it's convenient for him, cuz he likes to hurt.

[Dan Bongino]

He likes to hurt people. This is what happens when this happens. And there's no objective north, true north anymore, no compass, true north.

[Justin]

Here's a grand platinum rally.

[Dan Bongino]

They interview some lady, they ask a

[Justin]

very simple question, hey, does it bother

[Dan Bongino]

you that he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest?

[Justin]

And the lady just kind of gasps it off. Then they say, well, what if he had an Israeli flag? Oh, well, that's a bridge too far. I don't. Wherever you stand on the country of Israel and our relationship, that's up to you. But just to be clear, a Nazi insignia is okay, but an Israeli flag isn't? You really want to be a part of this movement?

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Haley Kia]

Totenko tattoo. The Nazi tattoo.

[Dan Bongino]

What?

[Haley Kia]

Like, what's. How do you kind of. Somebody said that they talked to somebody who had seen one of those or wore one of those, and it was silver, and it didn't even occur to him that it was the same thing. I think people are making as much of it as they can. These don't have a lot of stuff, didn't surround anything else, and if they did, we'd hear about it, believe me. They are trolling for dirt. What if he has, like a Israeli flag tattoo or something? Would that be a deal breaker for me? Yeah, honestly. Yeah, that would be Israeli. Yeah. Because I don't support genocide and he doesn't either. And that would show that he was being inconsistent and he's been very consistent about straight across the board.

[Justin]

Keep in mind, if this lady were to have said the, the end part

[Dan Bongino]

of that, the end part, hey, I

[Justin]

just disagree with what Israel's doing in Gaza or elsewhere, you're fine, vote however you want. That's your call. That's. That's your call. That's not the point. The point is she has no problem with a Nazi tattoo. And then she's thinking, oh, no, that's a bridge too far, folks.

[Dan Bongino]

I told you, you don't want a part of that movement, man. You know where this goes. You can read a history book, just like I can when your only criteria.

[Justin]

You know, it's incredible, again, that Fuckley and Fucker, right? Like, all they want to do they don't want to talk about Bill Clinton in those files. They don't want to talk about all of the people who are talking shit about it. And then their names popped up in the file and all of a sudden everybody got quiet. They want to talk about any of that. They only want to talk about the people who cared about getting it out

[Dan Bongino]

there for you to see it. Why is that? Maybe because I just won't come out and say I hate the Jews because I don't. And I'm going to fight that shit always. Always. Any kind of collective hatred to any group. That's the only. I promise you, if I were to come out tomorrow and shamefully utter those words, you would never hear another word about it.

[Justin]

Fact.

[Dan Bongino]

It's all bullshit, man. Don't fall for it. All right, quick break. I got a lot more to get to, including there's a big meltdown going on over soon to be acting dni, Bill Pulte.

[Justin]

Donald Trump's already said President Trump.

[Dan Bongino]

It's a temporary thing.

[Justin]

Everyone needs to like, chill for a

[Dan Bongino]

second on this thing.

[Justin]

I got that.

[Dan Bongino]

And lucky Trump strikes again. Of course, this guy's the luckiest guy ever. Folks, weight loss injections are everywhere. But here's the catch. About 15% of users quit. You know the cost. Another 15% stop because of side effects. A while back, I told you, you know, after the whole treatment and stuff, I went through that health scare. I put on some weight. My joints were really bothering me. So I lost about 35 pounds using lean. So the best product on the market in my opinion. I chose Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition. Here's why. These weight loss shots, they work by helping control blood sugar and appetite so you eat less. No argument. The shots can work for many people, but Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things naturally. Lean helped tackle my hunger and helped support steady energy without constant cravings. Lean did something injections don't. It helped my body turn fat into energy. So I burned fat instead of storing it. My favorite part, Lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not an injection. There's no prescriptions. There's no needles. I lost weight with Lean. I love the product. I believe you can too. Me and Paula both use it.

Thank you, Ethos. We appreciate it. Just a quick hit on this story. There's been, like a meltdown over Bill Pulte being named acting DNI after dni. Now Tulsi Gabbard steps aside. Got a medical crisis in our family. Okay, so the meltdown has been just. I haven't seen anything like it in a long time. Now, I saw this at the Wall Street Journal, and this is long overdue. Maybe he's the change agent they need on a temporary basis. I just give the guy a shot. Wall Street Journal has a piece up where Donald Trump told him that you got to clean the place out, folks. The dni, my humble opinion, haven't worked. And it's not a reflection of any specific person. It's just the whole creation of the DNI. Post 9 11, it was just another bureaucracy on top of the bureaucracy. Again, it's not a reflection of any particular personality or person.

[Justin]

It's just tautologically, was another layer on top of a layer that in my opinion, having worked inside the IC over the past year and haven't seen the interaction, I just don't think, and I think President Trump might agree, based on

[Dan Bongino]

some of the comments we've seen coming out, that we don't need this entire huge office of another intelligence bureaucracy.

[Justin]

It didn't help. It didn't help stop the Russia hoax. You know, a lot of intel gets

[Dan Bongino]

missed when there's constant emails and people

[Justin]

need, you know, 35 different people need

[Dan Bongino]

to, you know, sign off on something,

[Justin]

give the guy a shot, see what he does. You don't like it, he's only acting. Whatever. You move on. We find a permanent person for the spot. But the meltdown, I think it's emanating from people in the intel bureaucracy just desperately trying to hold on to our jobs. But listen, the Trump team's not messing around, folks. The Trump administration, contrary to the people who only. All they want to talk about is

[Dan Bongino]

the Jews and Epstein. That's all they want to talk about, right?

[Justin]

And bullshit conspiracy theories and other stuff. The Trump team is not messing around. They are producing W's and wins every day in less than two years on the job that you can choose to ignore. But I'm not going to ignore them because my kids live in this country and I elected and chose this president

[Dan Bongino]

on my ballot and elected myself, but chose him on my ballot because I

[Justin]

wanted someone to go up, go back

[Dan Bongino]

into the White House and shake things up.

[Justin]

Look at this chart by E.J.

[Dan Bongino]

antony.

[Justin]

How do you ignore this? This is a chart.

[Dan Bongino]

The number of federal bureaucrats he notes

[Justin]

declined again In May, the 17th straight month of declines. Look at this chart. People have talked about leaning out the federal bureaucracy for seriously, like 7,000 years. Like pre Declaration of Independence. They've always talked about, nobody actually does it. This is happening right now. If Pulte goes in and clears up the bureaucratic mess over there too. It's another W. He has assembled a set of people in his administration, President Trump, who asks simple questions like, why isn't this fixed yet? Why isn't this fixed yet? He's got a rock star team of talent. And I'm not, you know, I'm not telling you like the. Trust me, bro. So I'm telling you, just pay attention. That's not. Trust me. That's a chart. Federal bureaucrats and government workers are down dramatically. Like that's an actual number. That's like a compass. True north, objective fact. Here he is. Here's Marco Rubio asked again about Iran. And the only reason I bring Iran up now too is because it's really odd, like how many people who hate this president. Really want, like the death to America. Iranians to win. They're obviously their economy struggling, their oil system's fracturing, they're breaking down, they can't find people to make decisions. And you constantly hear on the news, like how great the Iranians are. Like, they're like cheering on the other side. Like, number one foamy figure, go Iranian mullahs. It is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

[Dan Bongino]

So they catch Marco Rubio, Secretary of State and NSA National Security Advisor, plain side, and they ask him about this exact question. Check this out. We Iranian for him in this, accusing US and Israel of genocide. Essentially.

[Marco Rubio]

The Iranian. Oh, okay, well, he's an expert in genocide. They're experts in that because, you know, they sponsor terrorism all over the world and they've killed thousands and thousands of people. Look at the Middle East. Look at the Middle east, guys. Every problem in the Middle east tracks back to Iran. Hezbollah, Iran. Shia militias that are destroying and threatening Iraq. Iran, Hamas, Iran, The Houthis, Iran, the, the Assad when he was in Syria, Iran. The only kind the way, I mean, everywhere you turn, they're behind all of it. They are a destabilizing, dangerous, evil force that had to be dealt with. They have to be weakened.

[Justin]

Yeah, fact check. True. So President Trump gave an interview.

[Dan Bongino]

Did you catch the Kirsten Welker?

[Justin]

Is it Kristen? I don't know. The Welker interview this weekend. This is some just grade A, like

[Dan Bongino]

prime steak material right here.

[Justin]

They get into a conversation about Iran too. And I just want to like these media people. The questions they ask are so like, questions are good. A back and forth is good, but these are questions. They're like, when did you start stop beating your wife questions. It's just ridiculous. Like they're cheering for the Iranians. Listen to President Trump with Kristen Welker, who seemed so flustered by this whole interview. Some of the screenshots of like, the

[Dan Bongino]

looks and the back and forth are just epic. But here's his answer on this topic, too.

[Justin]

This is important. It's true.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Haley Kia]

Iran was the closest to developing weapons grade uranium after you ripped up the nuclear deal because there were no guardrails in place.

[Kristen Welker]

They were developing it during the nuclear deal. You don't know that. What Iran, When Obama signed that stupid deal where he paid them billions and billions of dollars, he thought he could bribe them.

[Dan Bongino]

Listen to me.

[Kristen Welker]

They were developing a nuclear weapon. That's how they got there. They got all of this uranium during Obama. You know that don't you?

[Nick Fuentes]

Let's.

[Kristen Welker]

Well, that's how they got there. Don't say this. They got there. They developed it during the. Obama, Barack Hussein Obama during his.

[Haley Kia]

They've escalated their development after the deal was escalated. Let's talk about the economy. Let me just.

[Dan Bongino]

Yourself.

[Kristen Welker]

If I didn't go in there with the B2 bombers, they would right now have a nuclear weapon and it could be that half of the world would be eradicated.

[Haley Kia]

Let me.

[Justin]

I love when she tries to change the topic. The minute Donald Trump, President Trump brings up the fact that they never stopped trying to produce a nuclear weapon. Oh, Kristen, you're going to, you're going to tell me you sure like you were in on those briefings?

[Dan Bongino]

Because I was, I don't know where you were.

[Justin]

You know something different.

[Dan Bongino]

I was, I was in on those briefings.

[Justin]

Not sure you were there. I don't remember seeing you there.

[Dan Bongino]

I would have recognized you.

[Justin]

I don't remember going, hey, what's she doing in here? She just doesn't know. She's. Oh, let's talk about the economy. Okay, let's talk about the economy. Matter of fact, let's cover Lucky Trump on the economy. Again, here's Lucky Trump as the economy.

[Dan Bongino]

This is cnn, by the way, that hates Donald Trump.

[Justin]

Okay, Here is CNN forced to to cover, by the way, a story that must have been very traumatizing for them. In addition to E.J. antoni's tweet about government bureaucrats collapsing because Donald Trump is leaning out the government workforce trust in the media at an all time low. Again, it's a data point, right?

[Dan Bongino]

It's a data point, right?

[Justin]

Here's actual numbers. This isn't bullshit. This isn't the Jews did at the Epstein class. These are actual numbers, actual added jobs to the economy. You know, again, a thing that's actually happening when people are telling you nothing

[Dan Bongino]

is happening when they're talking about the Jews and all that stuff.

[Justin]

Here's CNN forced to cover the amazing job numbers. They don't even know what to say. And I love how they say but at one point they're like roughly 100. No, no, it's actually closer to 200,000 every month. When you read the actual numbers in the revisions.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Election Official / News Reporter]

The US economy adding 172,000 jobs last month. That easily surpassed the forecast which was for 105,000. Also March and April were both revised higher. That is encouraging. And that means that the U.S. economy has now added 100,000 jobs or more in three straight months. We haven't seen that in more than two years.

[Justin]

What do you mean, 100,000 or more? Can you put those numbers up again? Lucky Trump strikes again. One was 214,000. That's like.

[Dan Bongino]

Or more.

[Justin]

One was what, 179,000. That's like 79,000 or mores. And it was the other one like 74,000. If my memory is good, that's like 74,000 or more. Or 72. I'm sorry, 72 guys. That's a lot of. Or mores. You could cover that two ways. You could say, well, close to 200,000

[Dan Bongino]

average, which would be accurate.

[Justin]

Or you could say 100,000. You notice every single thing they say is slanted in a way to make it sound worse. This is not journalism.

[Dan Bongino]

It's bullshit.

[Election Official / News Reporter]

That is encouraging. And that means that the US economy, 100,000 jobs or.

[Justin]

Damn right.

[Election Official / News Reporter]

Or more straight months. We haven't seen that in more than two years.

[Justin]

Two years. Wow. It's almost like things are happening now. Compare and contrast.

[Dan Bongino]

Who did that? I'm sorry? I mean, listed on Apple and Spotify. You got to watch the show on Rumble. You got.

[Justin]

That's great. Very good, Very good. I like it. Compare and contrast that with. With what's going on in your liberal, you know, Mount Olympus, California, where they can't even count the freaking votes. Ladies and gentlemen, Election day is close to a week ago. They still don't know who the first and second place finishers are in the gubernatorial race, in the mayor's race and the other primary races. They don't know. This is your liberal. This is what you want to compare it to. This guy. The president's racking up dubs upon dubs upon dubs. Lucky Trump strikes again. The left can't even count a vote. You get these media people, these people, it's 100,000 or more. That's a lot of war.

[Dan Bongino]

Moors.

[Justin]

Here's President Trump again with Kirsten. Kristen Welker this weekend. When he's talking about like, hey, are you. Is this an election or what? Or a freaking clown show. Are you guys ever going to figure out who won this race? The Democrats could institute some simple rules in California. Get your ballot in by election day. We'll count them in advance like we do in Florida. We'll have a result. Or they just choose not to because they love the chaos, because the chaos creates opportunity for them.

[Dan Bongino]

Here's Trump calling her out on this. And I'm going to play an election

[Justin]

official desperately trying to explain this thing away.

[Dan Bongino]

Check this out.

[Kristen Welker]

Four days and they aren't even close to coming up. You know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election.

[Haley Kia]

There's what? Do you have evidence to support?

[Kristen Welker]

All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look and I listen and I listen to people and let's see what happens.

[Haley Kia]

But, sir, that's not evidence.

[Dan Bongino]

Do you think it's appropriate?

[Haley Kia]

That's how they count the votes.

[Kristen Welker]

You think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking.

[Haley Kia]

State, local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.

[Kristen Welker]

No, they're crooked.

[Haley Kia]

They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they crooked.

[Kristen Welker]

Just like you're crooked, your press is crooked. And Meet the Press is crooked.

[Haley Kia]

To be fair, I'm not crooked.

[Kristen Welker]

But really, when you play right into their hands.

[Haley Kia]

Let's continue.

[Kristen Welker]

You're either crooked or you're stupid.

[Dan Bongino]

Last time a left wing media news outlet pulled the. There's no evidence of that. It resulted in an emoji on my show in emoticon.

[Haley Kia]

Sir.

[Justin]

There's no evidence of that, sir. Here's an LA county election official trying to explain why. Again, the Trump.

[Dan Bongino]

Motley's in the chat.

[Justin]

Motley's in the chat. But Lee's in the chat.

[Dan Bongino]

We love us some Motleys. Is a. The Motley sir combo is devastating. It's a lot. It's like the Marvel DC crossover event I spoke about last week, The Motley sir combo.

[Justin]

Just. The chat should just, like, nuke itself

[Dan Bongino]

like a mushroom cloud.

[Justin]

That is way too much humor for one chat room.

[Dan Bongino]

A Motley sir combo.

[Justin]

Tear it up in the chat. Tear it up. I need to see the chat. Because it's your show, too. It's always been your show.

[Dan Bongino]

I love doing this show.

[Justin]

Listen to this guy in L. A Try to explain why they still can't count the vote. And I want you to, like, for a second, just try to be objective and tell me if you buy any of this stuff. You tell me how.

[Dan Bongino]

My daughter just took a test, my youngest one. It's a statewide test in Florida.

[Justin]

She comes home same day. Dad, I got a on this test. I said, wow, great job, Amelia. I'm like, they do it quick now. Yeah, Right away. Instantly. Remember Scantrons? We were in school. You knew the test result the minute they put the freaking Scantron sheet in there. How the hell can't they count a freaking ballot here? Newsom. Just ask Ron DeSantis in Florida how they do it. You could do that. You just don't want to listen to

[Dan Bongino]

these people try to explain this away. Check this out.

[Dean Logan]

Is this taking so long? What do you want to say to them?

[Election Official / News Reporter]

Well, actually, in truth, we're ahead of the pace that we've been in past elections. The reality is, in California, the election laws allow voters the greatest opportunity and options for when and where to cast their ballot.

[Dean Logan]

At LA County's ballot processing center, about 400 employees are working two 10 to 12 hour shifts following Tuesday's primary election. Dean Dean Logan is the county's registrar, recorder and county clerk.

[Election Official / News Reporter]

It's pretty close to nonstop, pretty close to around the clock. Obviously, for transparency purposes, we don't want to be counting ballots in the dark of night.

[Dean Logan]

Californians can vote in person or use drop off boxes or by mail. Professor Christian Gross is the director of USC's Democracy and Fair Elections Lab. He says a lot of people waited until the last minute to mail their ballots.

[Dan Bongino]

The U.S. postal Service has gotten slower. They have less resources. Mail takes longer than it used to, especially coming from places that are more rural.

[Dean Logan]

Or the professor says the process may feel a bit slower this time around because there are so many tight contests like the governor's race and LA mayors, so projections can't be made.

[Dan Bongino]

Holy Moses. I was just thinking about it. I took two standardized tests. Wait, I may need it. Even though it's not citing my. Andy, can I get a dispensation? It has something to do with education, but it's not like, are you okay in the chat? You know the rules, right? You cite your education or even hint at it. You're probably a jerk off. So I hate that.

[Justin]

Look at me. I got an md. Pa. Great.

[Dan Bongino]

Congratulations, bro. You're awesome. We love you. My dispensation. Good, Andy. Okay, I took the GMATs and the MCATs within like, I don't know, six months of each other. I have to go look at the dates, but it was bang, bang, bang, folks.

[Justin]

You get the score right away. You get the score right away. How hard is it to counter freaking vote? I vote for this guy.

[Dan Bongino]

I vote for that guy.

[Justin]

They won for this guy. What do we have to do? You ever see like these guys in prison who mark the days left and

[Dan Bongino]

they put like five and then they.

[Justin]

Five lines, they scrape them into a wall. Do we have to do that? Do it Reminds me of that line from like the Usual Suspects. Remember that line? Hey, we can place you in Queens

[Dan Bongino]

on the night of the robbery.

[Justin]

Yeah, I live in Queens.

[Dan Bongino]

You got a team of Monkeys working

[Justin]

around the clock on alec. How hard is this to do? Just count the freaking votes. Count them. And if it comes in after election day, it's no good. Ask Florida. Can someone contact Ron DeSantis office, please? Governor DeSantis, can you just give Gavin Newsom a call and just tell him how we do it in Florida? Florida, it's like polls close at whatever, eight or nine. It's like within like five minutes. You got results coming in and the things done in an hour or two. This isn't hard. I can't with these guys. How do you compare and contrast the modern MAGA movement?

[Dan Bongino]

Federal bureaucracy going down, job numbers, solid GDP growth's really good. We've got just this energy revolution going on. You've got the safest America you've ever lived in.

[Justin]

You've got all this stuff happening. These are real numbers. And you compare and contrast it with a bunch of goofballs in California who don't even know how to do a Scantron test.

[Dan Bongino]

We call elections, right?

[Justin]

And then all you got the left whining about is the Epstein class and the billionaires. They don't have anything else. Donald Trump, Peto, Erica, Kirk, Dan. Bonjour, Peter. This is only how they don't have anything. It's their guys. It's a data point.

[Dan Bongino]

Data point, data point. All right, last break and I got

[Justin]

another gem again showing you how when

[Dan Bongino]

Democrats try to create a member contrast,

[Justin]

you always got to point out what

[Dan Bongino]

you're doing versus what someone else is talking about not doing.

[Justin]

The contrast matters when you bring the receipts. But watch what happens when the Democrats

[Dan Bongino]

try to create a contrast and it

[Justin]

totally freaking blows up in their face.

[Dan Bongino]

And this is just glorious. Again, a reminder, no show tomorrow. Everything's cool. In case you're tuning in a little bit late. I will be back on Wednesday live. Haley and Vince, I'll be on their shows tomorrow. Super cool. And then Monday. I will not be in on Monday either. I've got a special event. So, you know, life sometimes gets in the way and it's a live show, folks. We used to. Not that you really should care about this and guy hates when I talk about internal stuff, but once in a while we would tape a show in advance. I don't, I don't like it. Especially with Donald Trump in office because

[Justin]

the news cycles just bang, bang.

[Dan Bongino]

I don't like it. I'd rather just not do a show at all. That tape something and you know, like, it's a live show. It's meant to be Live. Unless there's some kind of emergency or something. There you go. So got that?

[Justin]

Hey.

[Dan Bongino]

Most people don't wake up and choose to feel exhausted or foggy. It builds up over time. You're doing everything right. Your energy just crashes. By midday, your focus feels off. Your body's just not responding the way it's used to. Unfortunately, I know all too much about this.

[Justin]

These aren't discipline issues.

[Dan Bongino]

They're signals. Signals that become signals that hormones, metabolism or nutrient levels may be out of balance. This is one of my favorite new sponsors. They came to the office. Simple blood test. I learned so much. Joy and Blokes was created for people who are tired of guessing and being dismissed. I'm already super health focused, but I realize I hadn't done a really comprehensive lab in a long time. I was just checking the same things and stuff I hadn't really thought about. Joy and Blokes. They came to the office, drew some blood. Within a week, I had insights across 71 biomarkers. A couple of them. I'm pretty darn glad I did. And consult with a licensed clinician. They helped turn that data into a personalized plan I actioned about two weeks ago. I already feel better. It's time to stop guessing and start getting real answers about what's going on in this machine you call your body. Go to joyandblokes.com Bongino that's J O I J O I and use code Bongino for 65% off your labs and 20% off all supplements. It's a big savings.

You saw it with fuel, prices with the straight. And now you see what else is a limited commodity? Gold. They mine it out of the ground and when it's gone, it's gone.

[Justin]

Governments can't just print more gold.

[Dan Bongino]

That's why I'm a big fan of gold. That's why everyone from central banks to savvy savers are diversified with gold. And why I believe Smart retirement savers should at least learn about physical gold. Gold isn't a government promise. It's real tangible wealth people have trusted for thousands of years. Especially when paper promises feel shaky. With Birch Gold Group you can get help diversifying existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA backed by gold.

Thanks Birchgold. I needed you to see this. This is what happens when crazy lunatic liberals try to create a contrast but don't have actual receipts to back it up. They never do. Everything they tell you is bullshit. Here's Anna Navarro on cnn. Billionaires, Billionaires love liberals. There's a billionaire running for the California governor's race, Tom Steyer, big liberal where

[Justin]

they can't even count the damn votes. Why doesn't he donate some of his money to a pact that helps clean

[Dan Bongino]

up the damn election systems they love?

[Justin]

Billionaires lose love.

[Dan Bongino]

Liberals. They get their little tax code carve outs, they get their subsidies, they get their cheap immigrant labor. They get their regulatory capture. They get the first mover advantage of government icing out the little guy. Liberals. Billionaires and liberals, they're buddies. They're buddies. Don't buy the bullshit. Check this out.

[Anna Navarro]

Donald Trump lives in a white billionaire bubble. And if you are a multimillionaire, if you are a billionaire, you're doing very well because the stock market, despite everything else that's going on, is going strong. But if you are one of the people who shops at Costco and goes home with 30 rolls of toilet paper and 20 pounds of ground beef, you are feeling it. And these people that Trump hangs out with on a daily basis, the billionaires in his cabinet, the billionaires at Mar a Lago, the billionaires that he employ invites to the White House, they are not feeling it. And he, he just, you know, he is clueless when he says that affordability doesn't mean anything to anybody. It means a hell of a lot to the people who can't get healthiers. Now, are those premiums? Actually, they're not. They are.

[Dan Bongino]

For every billionaire who gave Donald Trump

[Anna Navarro]

money, Kamala Harris got two.

[Dan Bongino]

All right, so it's really a Democrat issue.

[Anna Navarro]

There's a lot of billionaires in Marlboro

[Dan Bongino]

body of Sargon spitting facts there that billionaires.

[Justin]

Billionaires love Donald Trump. Maybe some billionaires do, but more billionaires seem to love Kamala Harris because billionaires love an overly aggressive government because the regulatory costs of small business and mid sized business competitors to comply with the government create a first mover a like Porter's five forces advantage where the first person out of the gate winds up winning because the little guy can't. They can't catch up because they don't have a 6,000 person legal department to handle the government.

[Dan Bongino]

It's like the cost of competition. Liberals love billionaires and billionaires love them back.

[Justin]

They are totally full of shit. Billionaires have been given to Democrats forever with the hope that they. It's the Republicans, it's the old conservative guard here that has been arguing forever

[Dan Bongino]

for a free and fair economy where

[Justin]

everybody gets the same shot, no one gets special gifts or anything. It's the Democrats doing all this stuff. Donald Trump brought it up himself in one of the debates with Hillary with

[Dan Bongino]

all the special tax code carve outs.

[Justin]

He said, because you guys want all this, of course people are going to. That's why billionaires love them.

[Dan Bongino]

I know. And Justin's like what are you talking about? Like I buy ground beef.

[Justin]

Justin's love.

[Dan Bongino]

Do you get the. Do you get like the healthy. I like the one with the fat in it. You got to roll that fat in there. That ground be grass fed 90. I like 80. I need some of the fat in there.

[Justin]

And then you get of course from

[Dan Bongino]

the Democrats again, a bunch of nothing is happening. People who want to panic you before the midterms to make you believe that nothing is happening when in fact things are happening everywhere.

[Justin]

I don't know if you saw this

[Dan Bongino]

folks, but another big, huge, enormous law

[Justin]

enforcement public safety story that Doomers and

[Dan Bongino]

Pillars and others are going to tell

[Justin]

you nothing's happening because they don't. They want to lose. I told you.

[Dan Bongino]

They want to.

[Justin]

To come and shit in your Cheerios bowl and pretend nothing happened. You ever see that scene from Police

[Dan Bongino]

Academy 2, whatever it was, where the cat takes a dump in the guy's cereal and he flips it.

[Justin]

Sort of the most disgusting scene of all time. You guys remember my aging myself now?

[Dan Bongino]

Like that was a movie back in the day. It was a satirical comedy. Police Academy.

[Justin]

That's the Democrats and the Pillars. They want to come in and take a big dump in your bowl of Cheerios because they don't want you to

[Dan Bongino]

Know this stuff here was acting Attorney General, hopefully soon to be Attorney General Todd Blanche, who Donald Trump has picked for the role. We'll see what happens with the Senate.

[Justin]

Talking about another, another huge news story

[Dan Bongino]

that you need to hear about and you need to vote on.

[Justin]

You want a safe America?

[Dan Bongino]

You're getting one right now. Don't change course. Check this out.

[Haley Kia]

In Kansas and California that you found. And they were providing material support to isis. And the details are quite something. One said it was sick if his name was on a drone that would kill American service members. Another person said they always wanted to kill a female soldier by beheading. I wish I could kill 300 million Americans. These are bad guys. And now they're indicted.

[Federal Prosecutor]

Yes. This is a very disturbing case. You have young men, they're in their 20s, completely indoctrinated by terrorists, terrorism and by terrorists and actually spending money to actually follow through on these attacks. Like you just said, one wanted their name written on a drone to kill Americans. One fantasized about killing a female soldier by beheading her. And look, another great example of hardworking FBI agents and our federal prosecutors in California and Kansas and working together. And I'm glad we were to, able, able to enter to interject here and stop these, these men. But it's, it's a good reminder to the Americans that, that this fight is not over. There are still a lot of people that want to inject harm into this country and our citizens.

[Dan Bongino]

You know, I've been telling you about this drone threat for a long time. This is real. I saw. Thank you, audience archivist Judy. Judy S. She's been with us forever. That was actually my mother's name is on a lot. You don't mean a lot of Judy's. That was a popular name after the wizard of Oz and Judy Garland. And you don't see a lot of Judy's anymore. But she. On her. I forget what her Twitter is, but on her X account, she posted a link to. I think this show was only on SoundCloud of me talking about drones. Seriously, like 10 years ago, how huge of a problem this is. So we had Sebastian Gorka, counterterror advisor to President Trump on last week, and he's not lying.

[Justin]

Like, this was an obsession with.

[Dan Bongino]

Of mine when I got in there,

[Justin]

because this is a very real threat.

[Dan Bongino]

It's only a matter of time before one of these hits happens here, and we've got to make sure we stay on top of it. And I promise you, like, this administration is absolutely resolute and Understands the gravity of this threat. So, you know, I love also these Maha moments. I'm a health hacker. You see it, I talk about it all the time. And I like to leave you with these little points. I'm about 80, 20 on this. You know, the show's for you. I enjoy the interaction. The chat makes the show show, I think special in that it's your show. Too many of you been with me a long time. I appreciate seeing you every day. About 80, 20, about 20% of people. Like, I don't really listen for like health tips or whatever. That's cool, that's fine. Like, not every piece of content is going to be for every single person. But I feel in, you know, my obligation given what I've been through health wise, like to put this stuff out there, you know. We love Dr. Rhonda, right? She was on the show. Dr. Rhonda Patrick. She's fantastic. Here is our Maha moment of the day where she's talking about a really serious problem. These people who tell you, like, hey man, I operate on like three, four hours sleep every night and it's all right if, if you have to, you have to. I worked midnights at the White House for a long time and I probably slept four hours because you have to. I understand you got working people out

[Justin]

there, but if it's optional, if it's

[Dan Bongino]

optional and you're not like in a really bad work time where your hours are crunched and compressed, folks, you gotta sleep, man. It is the ultimate life hack. It is the quickest way to like destroy your health. Here she talks about the consequences of not getting good sleep. Check this out.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick]

It's kind of mind blowing how quickly you can gain visceral fat. Like there was sleep is a big one. When you're, when you miss sleep, that is something that can really, you can start to store. You can start to gain visceral fat very quickly. There was a study in healthy young men. These men were sleep restricted. Typically when sleep restriction studies are done, you're looking at four hours of sleep per night. So pretty severe, not out of the ordinary. I did many of those college graduate school deadlines, definitely as a new parent. I mean, it unfortunately drags on for months. So these men were only sleeping four hours a night for two weeks. Okay. These were healthy young men, college age students. Okay, young. They gained 11% visceral fat after that two weeks. But not a pound on the scale, but they had 11% higher visceral fat after just, you know, two weeks of not getting enough Sleep.

[Dan Bongino]

And they weighed the same?

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick]

Pretty much.

[Dan Bongino]

So it was the composition of their body that's shifting?

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick]

Yes.

[Dan Bongino]

Hey man, I know, I know it's hard. I know it's hard. I did shift work for five years. It was brutal. And life gets in the way. Not everything's perfect. You're not going to get to sleep in a feather bed and pitch dark, 65 degrees, eight hours a night. But if you can, try to get it done. Thank you for all the comments in the chat. Some of you really love this stuff, some of you don't. But I like to keep the show like really diverse. All right, listen, I'm really sorry we have to do this, but if something happens, I want the truth out there. The truth is out there for people to find. The thing is, they don't want to find it. And you know, I'm just the guy with a wife and kids like anyone else. I have no special powers. I'm a pretty busted up 51 year old guy who's been through a lot of crap. And it's was a great experience. And I'm not talking about the last year. I'm talking about just like with the cancer and stuff. That was an amazing experience and I loved it and I'm glad I did it and I'm proud of it. Between the violent crime crackdown, the internal reforms, the drone program, the FISA reforms, the personnel moves, the reorganization, and yes, I'm also proud of all of the push for transparency and not just the Epstein case, but others. Again, I'm not a superhero, man. I'm not Magneto. But if something happens, I want the truth out there. Because I want you to know who's lying to you or not. As I promise this has nothing to do with that. This has everything to do with the position I took a long time ago against people who've singled out a group of people and want to do this collective identity politics, leftist bullshit as a way to divide our movement. And I'm not going to let it happen. If that ever becomes our movement, then I'm out. We'll start our own movement. But that's not it. So again, no show tomorrow. I will be back on Wednesday, hopefully with some really cool updates. I really appreciate you guys. I have to, I have to bounce as they say up in New York. Haley. It's up at noon.
