Episode Overview

Dan Bongino’s episode, “Nope. No Escape,” offers sharp, no-holds-barred analysis of current political and cultural controversies. Bongino, leveraging his background in law enforcement and intelligence, zeroes in on what he views as irreversible leftist overreach, media narcissism, escalating threats against President Trump, and the realignment of American politics. A recurring theme is accountability (“no backsies”)—the idea that prominent figures and parties on the left will not be allowed to disown or distance themselves from radical stances and alliances they embraced in the past. The show is marked by energetic rants, direct listener engagement, and culminates in an in-depth interview with social commentator Patriot Dad.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

---

No Backsies: The Left Can’t Escape Its Record

[00:03 – 05:15, 19:10 – 21:00, 45:30 – 47:30]

• Main Point:
  Bongino repeatedly asserts that prominent Democrats and media allies cannot simply disavow radical policies (abolishing ICE, prisons, police, the Senate, etc.) or figures (AOC, Hasan Piker, Mamdani) when public opinion shifts against them.
• Memorable Quote:

  “There are no backsies. You [the Left] own this now. Your guys went out and campaigned with the October 7th rape apologist. There’s no escaping this.” [00:03]

• The Tea Party comparison is rebuffed as false equivalence—Tea Party stances were mainstream conservatism, not system-destroying extremism.
• “We already traded. The trade's done. You already traded your integrity and morals for power. You are not trading back.” [21:00]

---

Media Narcissism and Trump’s Turkey Security Scare

[05:15 – 19:10]

• Topic:
  Bongino reacts to the recent coverage of President Trump being clandestinely switched between planes after an Iranian threat during a state visit to Turkey. CNN reported that even media and staff were “deceived” to protect Trump.
• Key Criticism:
  The media’s outrage is merely egotism; the elaborate measures taken were for presidential safety, not to “deceive the press.”
• Highlight Quote:

  “It’s not about you, Kaitlan [Collins]. Nobody gives a shit about the press in a TTL [threat to life] situation. We’re trying to keep the President alive.” [08:45]

• Bongino draws on personal experience from his Secret Service past, explaining that at no point is the media’s comfort prioritized over the president’s safety.
• He pushes back on media members who knowingly accept motorcade/pool duty risks and then complain publicly about a dangerous environment (“get off the plane if you don’t like it”).

---

“Woke” Fatigue: Democrats Attempt to Exit Identity Politics

[19:10 – 24:50]

• Case Studies:
  • AOC’s shifting rhetoric: Clips played showing her evolution from “privilege to be woke” to tacit admissions that “Woke 1 was crazy.”
  • Joe Scarborough’s belated alarm: MSNBC host begins to vocally distance himself from the party’s radical base.
• Bongino Frames:
  The attempted retreat is due to negative polling, not genuine reassessment.
• Bold Take:

  “She’s trying to trade magic for a fact, but there’s no trade backs. You forced this stuff into the American bloodstream, and we’re not allowing you to pretend it didn’t happen.” [21:00]

---

The Democrat Base and Rhetoric: Exposing Hostile Alliances

[24:50 – 42:00]

• Clips & Examples:
  • Hasan Piker (prominent leftist streamer) is called out for making racist, inflammatory comments about black voters, with Bongino emphasizing that top Democrats have chosen to campaign alongside him.
  • Mamdani’s “validator” confession: Reveals a deliberate campaign to bridge progressive and identity-based voting blocs (“we recruit minorities by identity, then rely on validators to bring in white progressives”).
  • Pearson and others: Further examples of left activists using different rhetoric (“code-switching”) for different audiences.
• Bongino’s Message to Black Voters:
  “They don’t care about you. They’ll send your kids to crappy schools; you’re just a number for power. You’re being played.”
• Debunking “Replacement Theory” Smears:
  Bongino plays a tape of left-wing activists openly discussing using undocumented immigrants to build political power, directly challenging the claim that such concerns are conspiracy theories.
• Quote:

  “They are giving you the double-barrel middle finger, bro. They’re telling you to your face they don’t give a shit about you.” [43:17]

---

“It’s Not Like the Tea Party”

[45:39 – 47:30]

• Scott Jennings v. Donna Brazile Debate Clip [45:39]:
  Jennings rebuts Brazile’s attempt to compare Democratic Socialists to Tea Party conservatives:

  “The Tea Party folks weren’t trying to bring about the downfall of Western civilization... You can’t draw any equivalence.” [45:47]

• Bongino agrees and uses it to underscore his “no escape” thesis:
  “I’m proud of every single thing I campaigned on and everything that movement represented to this day, period. Why are you guys trying to divorce yourself if it’s the same thing?”

---

The Left’s Flexibility: Power, Not Principles

[47:31 – 53:30]

• Megan Romer Interview Clip:
  DSA co-chair, in a muddled interview, labels Russia “hyper-capitalist” and calls for diplomacy with Putin, oblivious to years of such efforts and revealing a lack of policy knowledge.

  “This lady’s an idiot...their only goal is power. If they have to abolish the Senate, they will. If they can use the Senate, they’ll love it.” [49:24]

• Bongino highlights similar ignorance in advocates for New York’s “government supermarkets”—supporters argue for subsidized groceries without acknowledgment it’s funded by taxpayers.
• Notable Quote:

  “They are bullshitting me about everything.” [53:30]

---

Debt, “Nothing Is Happening,” and Abortion Extremism

[53:31 – 58:00]

• Bongino references a new Washington Post piece on looming budgetary disaster (“When America’s Budget Will Break Disastrously” – August 10, 2026), asserting that even liberal media is forced to face fiscal reality.
• He denounces the claim that “nothing is happening” under Trump, and shifts to lambasting Massachusetts’ move to allow abortion up to birth as part of a “death cult,” reinforcing the episode’s theme of moral and political urgency.

Interview: Patriot Dad on Grifters, Disinformation, and Political Risks

[62:03 – 84:03]

Introduction [62:03–63:57]

• Patriot Dad, a rising social media analyst, is introduced for his “level-headed” approach amidst a sea of click-seeking grifters and conspiracy theorists influencing the MAGA movement today.

Disinformation and the “Clickbucks” Economy [63:57–71:54]

• Both Dan and Patriot Dad lament how opportunists overwhelm audiences with anecdotes, innuendo, and misinformation—rarely with evidence (“dazzle you with info, underwhelm you with evidence”).
• “These are grifters... It is an intelligence operation. It is an effort to dismantle, distract, and totally divide the MAGA base. And I'm not going to let it happen.” (Patriot Dad, [65:00])
• They discuss how viral personalities (e.g., Candace Owens) foster group-think, manipulating followers into a “cult.”

Distracting from Existential Threats [71:54–78:46]

• Bongino warns that infighting—fueled by grifters and doomers—distracts from the genuinely radical threat of US socialists, who now openly advocate abolishing foundational institutions and confiscating wealth.
• Patriot Dad provides concrete evidence (“there is zero constitutional method by which you can abolish the Senate... except full scale revolution.”).

On the Dangers of Collective Guilt [78:46–84:03]

• Bongino and Patriot Dad agree that imported leftist tactics—especially collective guilt and scapegoating—are now weaponized inside the right. This is extremely dangerous and anathema to the American idea of individual rights and responsibilities.
• “At what point do we realize, like, this is a leftist technique to get people into a corner and just beat the crap out of each other. This is a public threat number one, within our own tent.” (Bongino [79:28])
• Patriot Dad cites Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci and the cultural “wedge” strategy, including exploiting the Israel-America relationship to fracture the right.

Optimism for the Future [84:03–85:41]

• Both express cautious optimism that, while such tactics create temporary distortion in political discourse, audiences eventually catch on and return to “true north” principles.

Closing

• Patriot Dad: “You can't do both [authoritarianism and rebuilding the middle class] at the same time. I think people know that.”
• Dan: “Stay focused on the right moral arch of history and your show is always going to do well. All this stuff always goes away.”

Tone and Style

• Energetic, irreverent, and sometimes profane (“Shut the fuck up and sit down. Pardon my language...”).
• Rich in personal anecdotes—especially from Secret Service and campaign experience.
• Engages directly with chat/listeners, both seriously and playfully.
• Aggressively calls out both left and “grifters” within the right.
• Emphasizes “real talk”: “This show is about the truth. If you’re not for it, the show is not for you—that’s OK, man.”

---

Final Takeaways

• Bongino’s central warning: There can be “no escape” from radical policy failures or alliances; the American public must hold politicians and commentators accountable.
• The MAGA coalition faces real threats—not only from the radical left, but from infiltrators, grifters, and divisive, imported tactics within its own ranks.
• Real solutions require returning to principle, individual responsibility, and honest debate—rejecting both leftist overreach and internal “doomer” disinformation.
• The episode ends with guarded optimism: Despite cycles of disinformation and infighting, American audiences tend to correct course when given the truth and a principled direction.

Transcript

[A]

All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. So I was gonna start the show a little differently today and talk about the. Nope. No escape. No backsies. Remember. Remember we were kids. For those who were my age, in their ancient 50s, like me, when you. I start, I mean, 50 feels like 50. As I've said, often 40. Maybe not 40, but 50 definitely feels like 50. But we were kids. We trade baseball cards. Remember when that was a thing? I'll give you a Cal Ripken for a Don Mattingly. No. No backseats. There's no. No trade back. Remember that? No trade backs. No backsies. There's no. You remember that? There's no backsies. There's no back. That's not a thing. The fact that a bunch of Democrats, AOC Scarborough, Joe Scarborough, Democrat, they're all like, now all of a sudden, Trump, trying to trade back the. Abolish ice, abolish prisons, defund the police, abolish the Senate, abolish the Supreme Court, abolish the presidency, social. There are no backsies. There's no backseat. You own this now. Your guys went out and Campaigned with the October 7th rape stone matter guy. There's no backsies. You went out, campaigned with the guy talking about how he doesn't give a damn about black voters and talking about lynchings. What? Surprised emoji face, dude. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We got.

I see him in the commander's seat right there. So first I wanted to play this clip. And there's a couple of things, a couple of pointers here I want to point out before we play Kaitlan Collins and Anderson Cooper talking about the president, the security threats, as he was coming back from Turkey. Just was it a month ago or something like that. I lose track of. He had to switch planes. Became a huge story. The media, of course, thinks they're entitled to know everything, including the security features of the plane. You're not. It's not for public consumption. I'm sorry. Not everything should be out there. I don't care if it's a Democrat President or a Republican president. We don't want to get the President killed, cuz you got, you. You want clicks. I want to just listen, though. Kaylan Collins says that someone was deceived in this. It'll make sense in a second. Play the cut. You'll see what I mean. Check this out. Now the Post is reporting that the threat was so severe, there was a

[B]

second switch onto a third plane.

[A]

The President was not on this plane at all. Instead, according to the Post, even as members of the press were boarding from the rear door, the president, who we just showed you climbing the front steps, was leaving the plane, leaving on one of these. Quoting now from the Post, he was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane, an Air Force C32A via an airport catering truck. As the President had said recently, there

[B]

are many enemies of America who have

[A]

their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats. Is there any precedent for this kind of deception?

[B]

I mean, it's remarkable because even when the President goes to war zones, before which, you know, Trump himself has done, the reporters who are traveling with him are sworn to secrecy, but they know where they're going. But what this speaks to is, one, you know, the seriousness of the threat that they got when it came to this Iranian threat against the President's life, and two, the levels that they were

[A]

willing to go to to put the

[B]

President in a catering truck and to deceive the reporters who were on board and even some White House staff, according to the Post, who thought the president was on board that plane now.

[A]

Correct. Like in the beginning of the show, I. I miss sometimes. I. I'm not a Professor X. Okay? I. I have, like, telepathic powers. Sometimes I'll put a clip out there and there'll be a little nugget of it that even I miss. But when we do the pre show rundown, I was like, Justin, did you just catch it at the end? This is. There's a couple takeaways. Okay. The chat, by the way. Right? You're. There's a lot. You see what's going on in the chat. Okay, back to serious time. Kaitlan Collins says at the end that because the president's life was clearly in jeopardy in Turkey, that they had to make this grave decision. And believe me, I've. I've never seen anything like that particular thing. So this must have been a really serious, what we call ttl threat to life, that the efforts they went to deceive the press. It's not about you, Caitlin. I'm not trying to make this personal, really, but this is the mentality of the modern journalist, reporter, you know, CNN media hack, that they really believe that they put the President in a catering truck to deceive the press. It was meant to deceive the people want to kill him. Andy, is this something. No one was trying to. You were. No one was even thinking about you. It's not about you. I cannot emphasize this enough. Having been in this media environment forever, there's a lot of good people out there. I have a lot of colleagues who I love and respect who are really great and are very humble, a ton of them. However, cable news is populated with people with egos the size of like Texas, but without any of the Texas values to back it up. It's not about you. Nobody. I promise in that security meeting. I've been in many of them. Dan, what do you know about being in a war zone with the president? Gee, I don't know, dip shit. I took Obama to Afghanistan and Bagram Air Base when it was a freaking war zone. You can probably foia that we think I'm making it up. I was in a war zone with the President. Nobody's thinking, well, how do we deceive the. Nobody gives a shit about the press. We're trying to keep the President alive. Stop it. Stop. Get some help. You don't. Nobody cares. Media people, Caitlin and others and the press pool people. Nobody wants anything bad happen to you, obviously. Let me be clear. We're not trying to get anybody hurt. You don't have to be there though. I've heard media people, I kid you not, folks, I'm not messing with you. They are always in the motorcade. Back then they used to film out of the top of the truck. So I'm a new agent on the President's detail. I don't know when I got there. 2005, whatever. That's about the time I get there in 2005. I'm on the President Bush's detail. And I remember it was my first motorcade and you see these guys and they're like hanging out of their truck filming these press guys. A motorcade, like an in town movement, like he's going to church or something. It wasn't any big deal. We weren't going to like a NATO summit. And I remember saying to one of the guys, like, what's that all about? They go, yeah, these media people call it like death watch. In case something happens in a motorcade, they want it on tape. They know there's A threat every time they're with the president. You understand? They don't have to be there. No one is forcing Kaitlan Collins or anyone else to be on Air Force One. If you don't like the fact that President Trump is the most threatened human being probably, I kid you not, in the history of planet Earth at this point, there is no greater threat than get the off the plane. Nobody's trying to deceive you. You never ever came up in the conversation. I guarantee you not a single soul was like, gee, man, how do we deceive the. You never came. It's not about you. My gosh, with these people, that's point number. Point number two, I already made media people many again. They're not all bad people. Even some of them at lefty networks I don't agree with. But, you know, some of them were respectful when I was there and I reciprocated. I was never mean to anyone. But you don't have to be there. Nobody is forcing you to be there in handcuffs. You choose to be there understanding the risks. If you don't like the risks, then don't go and complain about it. I saw this whole big X thread this morning, Justin. People like, oh, oh, my gosh, I can't believe there was a threat. And like the media people, it's, then go home. Why is that? My not right. It's like being a Secret service agent on the detail going, you know what, boss? I'm not really comfortable with these job hazards. It's kind of dangerous being around Trump. A lot of people want to kill him. Can I go home? They would be like, what the. Are you. Are you smoking the pipe? No, not the tobacco, but the crack pipe. Are you smoking the crack? It's part of the job, dude. It's like working in construction on a high rise building. Go, man, I don't like heights. I could fall. No shit. Another point, I love all these political commentators, the fol ex Magata. Remember Tucker? Oh, my gosh, what was he telling? Was it Ted Cruz? He was telling him something like, man, if the Iranians are trying to kill President Trump, like nuclear war and all this stuff, and then they're all like, now trying to downplay the Iranian threat. Oh, there's no serious threat. There's no serious threat. They put the President on a freaking food truck to sneak him out of there because the threat was so real. I'm telling you. And by the way, don't tell me you have no experience. Shut the fuck up and sit down. Pardon my language. You know nothing about presidential security. You. You've never done it. You've never been in a security briefing. Sit your ass down and shut the fuck up. You don't know anything about anything. You're a goofy, bow tie wearing loser. You don't know shit. So you can shut your mouth. You can't have it both ways. If the Secret Service is evacuating the president through a food truck to a backup plane, do you have any idea what. How serious that TTL threat to life had to be to put him on a food truck to get him on a backup plane to a backup plane? I thought we were supposed to nuke Iran. I'm not telling you. That's ridiculous. Nuke Iran over. You said that, did you not? And now. Oh, no, no. The Iranian. No big threat. No big threat. How many times have I told you that? The Iranian threat. They're not telling you everything because they can't. The things that appear in these intelligence briefings, not every piece of it filters out to the public. The threats to life, the threats against our industrial control systems and cyber attacks, the threats to rapidly reconstruct this nuclear program were very real. Were very real. They want it both ways. Now they'll just ignore this. And now they put him on the food truck because he wanted a hoagie or something. We're from New York. We call them subs, but whatever word you want to use. Heroes. Yeah. New York's hero, I should say. I'm subs. I'm actually. I've been in Florida too long. The pub subs in my brain right now. I'm. My New York is leaving by the day. Except for the cousin. I know, I know. You are a generation removed. So there are my three takeaways. The Iranian threats to life, to American citizens are very real. So severe. I'm telling you, I've never seen anything like that. There's one accurate thing she says she doesn't really know, but she's guessing. Kaitlan Collins. When Anderson Cooper says, is there any precedent for this? She's like, well, I never heard one. I have to tell you, I haven't either. We've done a lot of things. I remember a couple, you know, tricks we pulled when the. I wasn't on the first lady's detail, but when I was on Obama's detail, some things they did with Michelle Obama so she could move around. It was a lot of deception involved. There were some times we would do shell games in motorcades and things. I've never seen anything this dramatic, ever. But Caitlin Collins line like the lengths they went to deceive the press just. Again, it's not about you. Nobody cares about you guys, okay? We don't want you to get hurt, but you choose to be there. You don't like being there, don't show up. That's not an option for the staff, the whammo. The White House military office. That's not an option for waca, the White House communication agency. You probably don't even know what this stuff is. If you're, you know, a commentator out there, you have no idea. You just kind of chime off like everyone should respect your opinion, as if it has any value. You have the right to have one. It doesn't mean it means shit. I hope that helps. Does that help you think? Is that why I should have started off the other way? That's why Guy wanted me to start with this story. Apollonia 88 in a Chad. I grew up in Connecticut. We call them grinders. Whoa, be careful with that one. I never heard that either. That could go in a lot of different directions. Be very. I'm just. Be careful. I'm just saying. Yeah, we did. Heroes is right. All right, getting back to what I want to start the show with. There's no backsies, folks. There's no backsies. We are not letting the left turn away from the fact that they have been out there campaigning on the craziest stuff I. I have ever seen in my 30 years following politics. No way. They are. This is not the Tea Party. On the left, the Tea Party was campaigning for relatively mainstream conservative thought ideas. Let's lower taxes. Let's look at a fair tax. Let's look at a flat tax. Let's let patients control their health care and fight this Obamacare train wreck. Let's fight for school choice. Let's protect human life. Let's protect the second Amendment to the Constitution. None of this stuff was in any way radical. It was only radical if you were a crazy leftist. Stop comparing your nonsense. Abolished prisons, ICE or murderers. Abolish the military. Cut military funding, government controlled health care. Confiscatory taxes, the theft of property. Government control the economy. Stop conflating it with the Tea Party. It's not true. You're making it up. You're just. Oh, like we have this little internal drama. No, that's not what happened. You tried to force men and women's locker rooms down America's throat. Wokeism dei. No merit. People should be picked on skin color. We should all hate the Jews and the evangelicals. And the Protestants. These are not mainstream ideas. In a sane populist, they're not. Okay, stop comparing the two. And. And we're not letting you walk it back. You don't just get to say, hey, we campaigned with a guy who said that October 7th rapes. Don't bother him. And go, hey, my bad. Is that what. Did the kids even still say that? I don't know. I'm not like if the kid lingo anymore. Did they? My bad. So sad. No, no, no, no. No backsies. No, but we already traded. The trade's done. You already traded your integrity and morals for power. You are not trading back. Here's what I mean. That's why the title of today's show is Nope, Nope, Nope. No Escape. There's no escaping this. We are going to force you to look in the mirror and tell the truth. Hat tip. The great Mays Moore. Here's aoc, who now wants. She's going to run for president, folks. She's going to run for president. I don't want to say flag it in the chat because I can't get in her head. And she may change her mind as she does more public appearances and gets humiliated because she really is dumb. Like, she doesn't know anything. You ever see her in a public appearance asked any serious question? She doesn't know anything. People are going to flag the chat anyway. Of course. I'm just saying there's like say, a 55% chance she runs for president. Watch her evolution as she realizes over these clips that identity politics and DEI and wokeism, how she now is trying to walk away from it, suggesting, you know, woke one probably wasn't a good idea. She was Woke one had to amaze more for this. Check this out. It's a place of privilege to be woken up to this. You know, if you have. If you never knew this was an issue before and now you're realizing it now, you know, there's a huge privilege in that. We're having a hearing right now and

[B]

it's about what the.

[A]

That the federal government is too woke. This is what this whole term woke

[B]

means, or diversity and inclusion.

[A]

So that the people who work in

our federal workforce are actually in proportion to the people that live in this country.

[A]

Woke one was crazy.

[B]

Woke one was crazy.

[A]

No, no. There are no trade backs. There's a Pearl Jam song. They're all lefties out. But I loved Pearl Jam growing up. They're huge lefties. Eddie Vedder and M. But I was. I love Pearl Jam. There's that song, you know, at some point you trade magic for a fact. And there's no trade backs. She's trading the magic of dei. And by magic, I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way. I mean, like, it's presto change. Oh, look, I pulled a rabbit out of a hat. The rabbit didn't come out of the freaking thin air. You had it hiding in the hat. Only, like, kids believe that. So she's trying to trade magic for a fact, but no, look up that line. I believe. I forget what song it is. Someone help me out in the chat. Trade magic for a fact. There's no trade backs. We are not letting you do this. Trade back. Now, you force this stuff into the American circulatory system, the arteries and veins, and we're not allowing you to just walk away and pretend it didn't happen. No, I have nothing to walk away from. From the Tea Party. I'm proud of what we did. I ran for office in that Tea Party move. Tell me, don't tell me. I actually put my name on a ballot. I'm proud of that. Low taxes, the Second Amendment, the right to life. Nobody's even attempting to run away from that. Why are you running away from yours? Because you traded magic for fact. You're watching a movie on the screen now, you know, everybody realizes BS because the acting so bad. And you all want to pretend you're not the executive producer. No, no, no. And I'm sorry, but Joe Scarborough doesn't get a pass either. This guy's been a Democrat for Republican. Whatever. He spouts off Democrat crap, all kinds of talking points. Now he's starting to realize, along with the msnow crew, they're starting to realize that these ideas poll really bad. Shocker, fellas. I'm really stunned. Abolishing prisons, property, confiscation of. Abolishing the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, sticking kids in crappy government schools with no school choice, taking away people's health care plans. They like. I'm really stunned. This polls at, like, negative 47%. I'm stunned. Here's my shock face. Dan, that looks like your normal face. That's because it is. Here's Scarborough now. Like, hey, man, we got a problem. And everybody was, like, celebrating. Well, finally they're waking up. Finally. Scarborough is not a stupid guy, okay? You don't think he knew months ago that this was a problem? He should have been talking about this years ago when AOC first burst on the scene with Bernie Sanders, like, screaming like this, watch this. Oh, you have to just turn a blind eye to people saying that women getting raped on October 7th didn't matter. This is about the Democrats who once again fumbling the football on the two yard line when they have a chance to make great gains, but being so woke to call out the obvious. I swear to God, it's really, it's crazy that we're even having this conversation. If somebody says a woman being raped doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it's okay to call that person out and demand that candidates distance themselves from those people. If you want to rule, if you want to rule over a party and win elections, if somebody says going to a rally the day after Hamas slaughters more Jews than any time since the Holocaust, it's okay for Chuck Schumer, it's okay for Hakeem Jeffries to call that despicable and demand that people distance themselves from that. That's okay. Okay. You know what? You know what's not okay? Justin besting me on a point, which he did. He's like, dan, this is my favorite video. I'm like, yeah, we were chatting while I was playing. Because I've seen it. I'm like, me too, man. I can't believe, like, Scarborough, like, just. I'm sure he said some of these things before, to be fair, but never with this kind of passion, as if he didn't see this cover. He was a dumb guy. I understand. I'm like. He's like, no, no, that's not what I like about. I'm like, what do you like about? He goes, look at the guest. The guest doesn't know what to do. Justin's video of the day. The guest is sitting there and I don't know what this guy's like, if he agrees with a lot of this stuff or disagrees. But he's just sitting there, like, am I supposed to say something? Like, he's got this. I've been on cable news when, you know when a host is going off, look at him, the guest, look at the face. Look at the face. Check him out. Check this guy's face. Stone face. There. He blinked. He blinks. So he's real. He looks like a mannequin. He doesn't know what to do. He's probably like, my gosh, I don't want to upset my socialist friends by agreeing with Scarborough here in this rant. I don't even think is any married to me. They're like a thing, right? Well, even Meek is sitting there like, the hell's going on here. I'm sorry, but I'm not giving anyone, like, a round of applause for failing to warn about the Bernie Sanders threat of socialism that has been infecting the Democrat party for probably 20 years now. Go back to show. Go back to the original shows, like episodes one through 20. We were talking about the exact same things, folks. There are no backsies. I'm sorry, There are no trade backs. And we are going to glue this piker guy and everyone else to the Democrat Party because that's what they wanted. I didn't tell him to go out and campaign with a guy who's like, a rape apologist. I didn't tell him what happened to the MeToo movement. Where'd that go? Like I said, I thought, like, the raping is, like, a really big problem. Like, that's a big deal, right? I mean, you. Not to you. I guess I'm going to show you what I mean. I got a video, this popped up yesterday of piker with regard to black voters. And I'm going to show you how. Folks, I'm telling you, I don't speak collectively about groups of people, but other people do. If you are a black voter out there, you are being targeted by the left. Targeted for our votes? Well, yes, of course, but no, you're being targeted by an opinion. They don't care about you. How do I know? I have to use the word literally, Justin. They literally say it. Then I'm going to show you another one. A prominent Democrat basically saying the same thing, that, hey, man, we're like a bunch of Islamophanatic nut bags. And we got to make sure, like, we appeal to these people to pull them over to our sisters to get them in our movement. I told you. Receipts, incoming. Receipts, incoming. Quick break.

You're part of my family. I've been with you guys for 10 years. A lot of you. Well, our guests coming up later. Patriot dad is a Patriot dad. You heard of this guy on X? He's fantastic. He'd been a P1 forever too. I love you all. I do. I say it. All I said on Twitter this morning when the POD track rankings came out. You have no idea my attire. Everything good in my life comes from God first and you second. It does well, family second. Obviously, but you get my point. I consider you part of my bigger family. I love you guys. You're the best. Okay, back to the show. There's no escaping. I'm not letting them escape this. You chose to campaign with this guy. So I'm talking to you black voters out there. Why? Why would you talk to black voters out there? Because I've been warning you for a long time that the Democrats don't care about you. I'm really sorry again. I'm not telling you like the Republicans are some elixir and panacea for all of your problems. We've screwed up stuff too. There's no doubt about it. I get that. I'm just telling you the cause of most of your problems in the black community. The cause of most of your problems. That, by the way, are in the white community too. But this is. You'll see why this is important now. Whether it's schooling problems, poor schools, whether it's if you. Or maybe you don't do. But if you live in a high crime area, a poor economy. These are the Democrats doing this. There is no largely majority black community anywhere that's led exclusively by Republican. No, they're all led by Democrats who are screwing you over. They're using you for power. They don't care about you. They will send your kid to the crappiest schools in the country on a whim just because they can. They don't care about you. Here's Hasan Piker. Why do I keep playing this guy? Because they trotting this guy out on the campaign trail. They love him. The same party that claims to be a big advocate for black civil liberties, civil rights, black empowerment, Really. I want you to listen to this guy again, ladies and gentlemen, in his own words, how he really feels about you, the black voter out there. Check this out.

[B]

Fuck.

[A]

What black people care about. Oh, black people care about this. Black people care about that. Like, shut the fuck up. That's not how politics Works.

[B]

Oh, well.

[A]

Hasan, how dare you? Like it or not, black people care about this issue. It's like it's such a fucking stupid stance. Any other black folk want to engage in radical activist language in this fucking chat? Suck my yes, dude. It's because I'm racist, that's why. It's because I'm racist. Dude, go back to a better time when lynchings were happening. This is what I like as a black man. Are you always doing too much with black people? Leave them alone. I want to go back to lynching, like I get it, but relax, man. Shut the F up, ok? God damn, you got me, ok? You got me because I'm a racist person. That's just his words, guys. Ladies, that's just his words. I want you to understand. Nobody, just like nobody, forces the media on Air Force One or in the motorcade knowing there's a danger. Nobody forced prominent Democrat candidates for Congress in the United States Senate. Not for Dog Catcher to go and campaign with this guy. Nobody. They did it because. Why? Producer Jim, we haven't done this for a while. Because they wanted to. Because they love him. Again, black voters out there, I am not telling you, like the Republicans are going to solve every one of your problems tomorrow that we haven't had issues with. Knuckleheads, too. We just went through a whole primary process kicking knuckleheads out of our movement who were professing some of the same bullshit about different racial and religious groups. We tried. We are trying desperately to clean this mess up. Not only are they not trying to clean this mess up on the left, they're bringing the mess in the sandbox. They're taking a dump in their own sandbox. Yeah, yeah. Hasan, come on in. Blackfoot. We don't give a shit about Blackfoot lynchings. What? J. A Walsh wasting your show with it. No, man. No, no, no. I'm sorry. Slater, Storm. Why give time to this stupid. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I love you in the chat. I appreciate your opinion. I'm sorry. You're wrong. You know damn well if there was a Republican Party candidate who had said those exact same words, or someone who is campaigning with any Republican Party candidate, Doesn't even matter from city council to president. You know damn well this would be an intergalactic cosmic scandal. No. They want us so badly, so badly to not talk about this. No, I'm sorry. I'd have to lose every listener before I. No way. I am. There are no trade backs. You can attack me. Oh, I am absolutely gluing. This to them because they chose this, not me. Now, I've been telling you, black voters, Jewish voters, voters and Asian voters, the left hates you. They cannot stand you. They hate your guts. They are deceiving you. I want you to watch this clip that was just unearthed by Mom Dummy. Was this N wokeness? I'm on a hat tip, right. I think who found this? Another good account on X to follow. You know, we like to hat tip here. Here's Mom Dummy a while ago, pre. Pre Mayor. Here's him talking about how they use validators to go into the white progressive community, to incorporate them into like their Islamophanatic unholy alliance. And how they make it comfortable for white progressives and others to like, detach themselves solely from ideology and run on identity alone. They're playing you for fools. How do I know that? Because they're proud of it. They openly talk about it. Don't listen to me. Listen to them. Listen to this clip by Mamdani. If there was ever a clip that nails the unholy alliance between progressive communists and Islamophanatics, this is it. And there's validators and bridges between the two. Mamdani being one of them in the middle. Check this out. Interesting thing about our communities here is I think that minority communities, because we have never had representation, we are tied much more to identity. White communities, they've had representation forever. And so for them, their tie is a little less identity and a little more ideology. And so what I mean by that is we have a lot of voters here who think of themselves first as progressive voters. And so we reach out to them speaking about our platform, our progressive platform. And you're very right that you need

[B]

someone in the middle to be a validator. Someone to tell them to trust us, believe in us.

[A]

Thank you to the person in the chat. I'm sorry it goes so fast. I miss it. Who said, Listen, man, Dan, shows about the truth. If you're not for it, like the show's not for you, that's okay, man. That's. That's okay. It's okay. Look, there's Hasan Piker. I didn't even put this in the show with Bernie Sanders and aoc. You don't get to run away from this. This is the truth. Folks, you have to understand. I get why people in the chat might say that. Like, damn, we already know this guy Piker is crazy. Like, folks, how many times I have to tell you this that debating the modern left is always about the third party. What do you mean? It's the hard left. People are done. They're in a cult. They're never. They're like the people who believe all these crappy conspiracy theories in folks maga. You're not going to convince them, so why talk about it? You're like, well, I already get it. And if they're not going to listen, why? Because I promise you, this audience right now, it's 39 minutes in. There's almost 48,000 people here on the show. This is a stadium full of people. There are people in here for the first time who've never heard this stuff. They're like, my gosh, like I'm a black or Asian or Jewish voter and you're telling me like the Democrats are campaigning with guys who apologize for rape and openly say like they don't really give a shit about black voters and talk about them in the most racist way possible. Yes. Yeah, that's the first time they've seen it. And I saw you. I was reading the chat again with the voices of the Dems. This guy Mamdani's voices, his voice changes, his accent, the way he speaks to people, depending on the crowd. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's talking to a bunch of progressive libs who were suckers and love to hear this. My gosh, look, he's speaking with a foreign accent or dialect. He must be some kind of genius or something. God forbid he was like an evil white man or something like that. So they fake it. It's all fake. Matter of fact, we got a follow up from yesterday. Andy, did you put this together? You know our segment voices of Dems. And I'm running for president of Fierce. There are a few reasons that we're running the piercing campaign this year.

[B]

One has to do with representation.

[A]

How can we represent all voices in a conversation? I wanted to do this by partnering with organizations from the Boone Democrats to the Boone Republicans. Lobbyists might win, but. Oh, that was good news for us. I don't know how long this Saturday in the state of Tennessee might last. This is the worst one.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Good news for. This is the worst one. Yeah. We've got good news that Sunday always comes. Martley in the chair. D.C. i do change my voice for Motley's in the chat. That's the best one yet. Motley's in a shit. Tear it up. That's the best one yet. That's the same guy. Why did they do that? Why do they do that? Because they're hustlers, they're gamers. They're Scammers. That's it. That's a lot of Motleys. Tear it up. Melt that chat down with the Motleys. Melt it down. Burn that chat to the ground. That's who these people are. Two black voters out there. You notice that this guy Pearson and Mom, dummy. They openly admit they're trying to recruit you into this identity politics thing and divorce you from any sound ideology you may be subscribed to. That. They're just playing you. I. Debbie, do you want to get played? The Republican Party message for the good ones, not the bad ones is the same for everybody. The right to defend yourself, the right to life, free, fair economy, relatively low taxes, controlled spend. It's the same message. We don't speak differently to black audiences about a black message and a white message. Why do you allow this to happen, man? And not only that, they lie to you about Replacement Theory stuff, too. Oh, my gosh, those evil Republicans and Replacement Theory. Here's some. Mike. I don't know if this was hidden camera or what. They're at some little speech these two lunatics are giving. One of them is a New York State assembly woman. The other one's a congressional candidate. And they're openly talking about how they use illegal immigrants for political power. Political power against who? Against you. If you are a member of the black community in a minority district run by Democrats, I want you to understand that they are using illegal immigrants to dilute your vote. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a simple math problem. Listen to me. If. Let's just use easy, small round numbers. If 10 people voted in an election for Congress, and then you double that pool to 20 people, you add 10 illegal immigrants onto the ballot to vote, then your vote is worth half. Not hard. Easy to figure out. Correct. Listen to them openly talk about this stuff. They are giving you the double barrel middle finger, bro. I'm sorry. Just listen to their own words. Check this out. We moved to this country.

[B]

My parents moved to Florida.

[A]

And that was a very different political

[B]

context in which to call yourself associalista.

[A]

Right?

[B]

And so I understand that, you know, sometimes because of our own safety, because of the. Of the political context, because of your power, you may not be as out and proud or active in particular roles that may be public in your politics. But what I do want to say is that there are so many ways in which you can be involved behind

[A]

the scenes, in small ways. Part of the work that I did

[B]

and the reason I moved to Queens was because I saw the political power that undocumented workers and undocumented people in Queens were building. And, you know, I see some companeros

[A]

here that I work with at Nice

[B]

Shout out who were part of this movement. Right? And so. So I know deeply and personally and firsthand that you don't have to have papers to have power. Right?

[A]

You don't have to have papers to have power. Actually, that's not the way this works. You actually do have to be a citizen to vote in federal elections. You actually do. But they don't care because they were attacking you. These are people running in blue districts. I mean, yes, the attack is on the American system of government. Granted, points stipulated, but the specific parochial attack is on you in your neighborhoods. Who is you? Black voters, Hispanic voters, white, white, progressive voters. You are getting smoked by a bunch of people from foreign countries that are here illegally that they are using for power. They openly talk about it. What part of you getting your political balls kicked in and being mocked and humiliated by people you think are your advocates and champions? What part of that doesn't bother you? You're a sucker. You're a sucker. Maybe that's not the easiest message for you to hear, but sometimes the syrup of ipecac is the only way you're going to throw this poison up. I don't know what else to tell you, man. They're telling you to your face they don't give a shit about you. And I'm not. Folks, we're not letting this go to the guy in the chat who said that before. Correct. This show is about the truth and is about getting the message out to voters out there who are still up in the air and confused and think the Democrats are the party of coexistence. Bumper stickers, intolerance. They're not the party of any of that. They're the party of destroying the constitutional republic through the death and destruction of socialism. And that's it. Put an exclamation point on it. And I'm not falling for this. Oh, it's just like the Tea Party stuff. I said that to you before. I want you to watch this clip. This is Scott Jennings things. He's on one of the weekend shows and he's debating Donna Brazile, who's a, you know, a pretty prominent Democrat activist. And Donna Brazile tries to make this analogy here, too, that, oh, this is just like the Tea Party Jennings. Like, no, I don't recall the Tea Party voting to basically abolish the skeleton and muscles of the entire constitutional republic. I don't recall that. No one else does either. Because it never happened. Check this out.

[B]

I saw on the Republican side, whether it was through the Tea Party in

[A]

2010, the activists who helped to bring about the MAGA movement, and with all

[B]

due respect to my friend Donna, there's nothing like you can't draw any equivalence between the Tea Party movement and the Socialists. For one, the Tea Party folks weren't trying to bring about the downfall of Western civilization and the United States of America.

[A]

Abolish the police. Abolish ice. Abolish borders. Abolish the Senate. Abolish the Constitution.

[B]

There was nothing like this in the Republican Party.

[A]

So it's an extreme political ideology that is gaining traction.

[B]

The Democrat leadership has lost control.

[A]

They know it.

[B]

And people like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Hong

[A]

in Wisconsin, Abdul El Sayed in Michigan. You talk about the big tent. The Democrat Jewish Attorney general of Michigan cannot even go to her party's nominating convention because she says I won't be

[B]

safe there because of the supporters of Abdul El Sayed. You can't draw any equivalence between what happened in the Republican Party with the resurgence of patriot conservatives versus these anti American radicals.

[A]

Thank you, Scott for saying that. You are 100% correct. I don't. Matter of fact, I would love it for Democrat activists, Donna, or anyone else to pin on my back a label. This guy was a Tea Party conservative and still is. I run from nothing. Zero. I am proud of every single thing I campaigned on and everything that movement represented to this day, period. Why are you guys trying to divorce yourself if it's the same thing? No one, no Tea Party conservative I know is divorcing themselves from that movement. Why are you guys, why is AOC all woke one?

[B]

Why?

[A]

Because you know, you lied to people. You know, everything you said was BS because you simply wanted power. And ladies and gentlemen, a lot of these people on the left, they're starting to realize that the people who have empowered themselves in this Democrat socialist movement are idiots. No, I mean like actual morons. They are idiots. This lady, there was a. You may have seen this on cable news yesterday. I'm going to use a different clip because you know, if you see it on cable news all day, you don't need to see it here. Okay, this lady, what's her name? Megan Romer Some. She is the DSA co chair, Democrat Socialists of America. This is a very prominent person in their movement. I want to show you how their only goal is deception and power. That's it. They don't have any policy position. Sure they do. A boss. They don't care about any of that, folks. They're saying whatever needs to be said to get power. And if they have to abolish the Senate, they will. If they can use the Senate to take power, they'll love the Senate tomorrow. They don't know anything. Their only goal is power. I need you to understand that. I know this sounds crazy. They will flip on a dime, just like AOC do the Taqiah and lie to you about anything. If it polls better tomorrow that they shouldn't abolish the Senate but expand the Senate to 7,000 members, they'll say that tomorrow too. They don't stand for anything, only power. Listen to this numbnuts. As David Remnick from the New Yorker, who's no conservative at all by the way, starts asking a simple question about like Russia and Ukraine and this absolute imbecile says, like Russia is a hyper capitalist account. Russia, Vladimir Putin, hyper capitalist. She actually said that. And she's like, I don't recall any diplomacy with Ukraine. Really? I don't either. I never saw that. I didn't. There was none. This actually happened. This is how stupid these people are. Check this out.

[B]

I believe in pouring US money, military, weapons into anything. We don't think it makes it better anywhere. But obviously Russia is this oligarchic dictatorship which is hyper capitalist. And Putin is this crazy right wing oligarch. Of course he is going to to make horrific human life ending decisions. Well, this. Is this precisely why those countries wanted to be in NATO? Yes. But why aren't we doing any amount of actual diplomacy?

[A]

Why aren't we doing any amount of

[B]

actual sending actual human beings to talk to human beings and figure out

[A]

what. I don't understand what kind of. There's been all kinds of diplomacy, however, failed since the beginning of the invasion.

[B]

We shouldn't send weapons to the Ukrainians.

[A]

No.

[B]

So just allow Russia to overrun Ukraine entirely. We should be sending huge teams of diplomats. We should be figuring out how to negotiate, how to get Russia off Ukraine's back. We should.

[A]

Yeah, absolutely.

[B]

So Russia would get off of Ukraine's

[A]

back by ascending diplomats.

[B]

I don't think that there is adequate negotiation. I don't think that there has been anywhere near adequate diplomacy.

[A]

I love that you ended with remnants Face remnants confused like, is this woman an idiot? There have been no efforts at diplomacy in the Russia, Ukraine war. Did you miss Donald Trump and Putin their whole summit? Did you miss Zelensky at the White House multiple times? Did you miss the multiple delegations of US Representatives going over to Ukraine, everyone from. My gosh, they actually have video. Justin, God forbid you show receipts. This clearly is AI. President Trump and Putin was with Air Force wanted to back that. That didn't happen. Megan Romer said, oh, look at it. There's a Linsky at the White House in the famous meeting that was only worldwide news. These people are imbeciles. They. This lady's an idiot. You want to put this lady in charge with Hassan Piker and others, and you want us to walk away from it? Like they're running with these people? Folks, they don't know anything. They are idiots. Yeah, obviously. I love when they say, obviously. You know who else does that too? Obviously. They say that as if you're dumb with them. Obviously. There hasn't been enough diplomacy. Did you miss all this? Did you ever read this thing called the newspaper? You can actually read it on your phone. You know, try anything. The Daily News, the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe. Anything. Just go put before you answer the question, was there any diplomacy in Ukraine and chatgpt? No. Non. No one. No one did anything. They just sat on the sidelines. Are you insane? Folks, everything they tell you is stupid, uninformed, ridiculous, and is meant only as a bridge. I use that word intentionally to sucker you to get them to give you power so they can F you over hard. Take your money, take your kids, take your property. Remember the activists on that High Tops video, the LGBTQ thing? We got to catch the kids early, take them at their word. They're not kidding. I saw this video floating around yesterday. This lady trying to defend Mom Dummy and his government supermarkets in New York City. Government supermarkets? What is this, the Soviet Union? Government supermarkets? She doesn't even know anything about the plan. She's like, yeah, Mom Dummy is going to be able to sell groceries for cheaper than people who actually sell groceries for a living, but not because there's any taxpayer money involved. He's just like a super genius who figured it out. Really, all the guy did who debunks this stuff is goes and pulls the documents and shows this lady's just an idiot. Check this out.

[B]

I don't understand how Mom Donnie can afford to sell groceries at 30% less if most grocery stores operate at a 1 to 2% profit. You said it yourself, you don't understand.

[A]

First, it's not hard to understand how Mom Donnie is going to sell groceries at a 30% discount. They're just going to use the city's money to subsidize the groceries.

[B]

There's nothing that says the costs of

[A]

these groceries are going to be fueled by your tax dollars.

[B]

If you're saying that you're just making it up.

[A]

Well, let's just look at the official published documentation for program operators. It says that New York City Economic Development Corporation in collaboration with the city, will deploy various resources to make the partnerships successful and financially sustainable for grocery store operators. In addition, New York City Economic Development Corporation will provide operating financial support to the operators in the form of an affordability payment subject to the operators compliance with the terms of any executed agreements, blah, blah, blah. They're also going to provide financial support to the operators to mitigate operating deficits attributable to discounted core basket sales and enable cost effective program delivery. That's what I mean when I say she didn't really look into the issue at all. It's the official documented plan of the city that they're going to pay the grocery store operators to achieve the 30% discount. How else would that work? Hat tip? I think so on X. All you had to do was look it up, man. That's it. I know sometimes it's painful for people to have this awakening moment like Clockwork Orange style, man, Eyes wide open, like, man, I've been lied to. These Democrats are bullshitting me about everything. They're bullshitting me so much. And when you look up the Democrats, the Mom Dhumi administration's own documents, it says the opposite of what this lady's saying. I know it's tough for you to look in the mirror and say, gosh, I'm an idiot. I know that's, that's hard. There's going to be a reckoning there. I understand. I know that's got to be tough for you. But it's got to happen because you are in fact an idiot. Folks, even the Washington Post is now starting to admit that this whole government stealing people's money, taxing people to death and spending endless sums over and over. Even the Washington Post is starting to admit this is going to result in an apocalypse. When this is appearing in the Washington Post. Look at the date. August 10, 2026. Not from 10 years ago, when America's budget will break disastrously. Telling you something I've been telling you the entire time. The national debt and the amount of money we're spending that the Democrats want to add to now to spend more is already unsustainable. By 2030 we reach a breaking point where we can no longer, longer pay the bills if something drastic doesn't change. Can you imagine what it's like for the Washington Post have to admit this. We got a choice coming up. We have a choice in this election. And you know what's happening. I'm finding now we're guess the doomers and the grifters again with the demoralization ops on our side. They just can't stop. They don't want you to vote. They want to let the other side take over. You got a freaking death culture in the Massachusetts governor's office. This Governor Healy just signed a bill to allow abortion like up to birth. That's got a name. It's called homicide. Like that actually happened. And we're getting lost about with the nothing is happening doomers and bullshitters on our side. Are you kidding me? Folks, we got to focus, man. This. This fight we're involved right now is when is real. The republic's at stake, man. This isn't like hyperbolic language. Just listen. But the people trying to destroy put up that tweet. This is real. Look at this proudly. Look. They all start clapping. Massachusetts governor Mara Healey signs the bill for abortions up to birth as Democrats celebrate hat tip Life News HQ on X. They're all clapping. This is great. We get to murder children. This is the death cult. And we're getting lost with the doomers and the gloomers and the nothing is happening crowd. I'm going to get to more some of that tomorrow. I had a a bunch of other stuff I want to get to, but I'm just running out of time. I just want to point out to this Daily Yeast complete loser who is just like obsessed. Listen, if this lady shows up at, you know, at my house or something, I'm gonna have this. Annabella Risciglione again is really obsessed with it. She went after Mike yesterday. Alfonso, you know, Mike used to watch work for the show saying like he's not qualified to run for Congress. This lady, I'd like to see her qualifications to run for Congress. Course has to throw a tax. She's really obsessed with this show and her bosses at the Daily Yeast, the tabloid seem to really enjoy. So we'd like to see her qualifications. I'd like to see her qualifications to be commenting on if she is this authority figure. The way she went after Mike, you know, I gotta tell you, was just one of the more disgusting and shows you how this is nothing more than tabloid trash. But she's just obsessed with the show. Listen, Annabella, we're not going to date you. I'm sorry, we're already taken. It's. We're not. You can keep trying, but we're just not going to do it. We're just not going to do it. Disgusting. All right, let me get to my spot. Comment of the day. And then we got a great interview coming up for you with patriot dad. You're really going to love it. This is good stuff right here.

I mean I talk about a level headed guy. Great information. Patriot dad, check him out on on X. He's at Patriot Dad EV77. We'll call you PD for this. So PD, welcome to the show. So good to have you.

[B]

Thanks Dan. I really appreciate the opportunity. I was telling you in the green room, huge fan, P1 listener. I've been around for a long time and the opportunity to join you on this show is really, it's an honor. So thank you.

[A]

Ah, listen, thank you man. I mean, listen that people gave me a shot and I just feel an obligation. If it's really not about you, which it is not, then it's an obligation for people like us to pass that, you know, mantle and pass that torch on to other people as well. If people are getting out a good message, it's gotta be about the message and you can't make yourself the focal point of it. I think that's a huge mistake. It's not a zero sum game. Yeah, content wise people have a podcast shelf and there's only a few they're gonna listen to. But that doesn't prevent you from following the account on X and watching five minutes of this and five minutes of that. So I really enjoy your stuff. I find you to be so level headed in this environment. And when I say this environment, this is kind of my first question. You know, I saw this a lot. I had left for a year, obviously went into the FBI and had to be very circumspect in what I would put out here. It's not about you anymore. I was working for the administration, you know, I did very few media appearances. I think it was four or five. That was it in the, in the year I'd been gone. But I watched And I really couldn't believe some of the stuff that was happening. It was like we won. The maga side won. And the movement instantly fractured. And you had this group of people out there just pumping out every garbage conspiracy theory known to man. I found you to be one of the level headed guys saying, well, is there any evidence for that? And the technique they use, which I think you saw through, I've even seen you explain this a lot, is they overwhelm you with information, but they underwhelm you with actual evidence. Reminds me of the usual suspects. You know, we can put you in Queens at the night of the robbery. Yeah, I live in Queens. You figure that out by yourself or you got a team of monkeys working around the clock? We got to learn to see through that.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, it's obvious. It's everywhere. It's totally pervasive. And it became evident almost from day one, when Donald Trump stepped into office back in January of 2025, that there was a strategy at play. The strategy is very simple. It's to dazzle you with a bunch of information and then to totally underwhelm you with evidence. And you saw it with the Epstein hoax, you saw it with the Candace Owens stuff that's going on. You see it with the foreign intelligence operations that's happening. It's not about accuracy for most of these people, it's about clicks and engagement. And there's nothing more engaging in social media today than just throwing a bunch of information out and then letting people run with it. I mean, can you imagine sitting around at the end of the day? I couldn't, Dan. I don't think you could either. There's no way I could go to sleep every night, lay my head down and feel good about knowingly lying to people all over social media. And yet that's what works, unfortunately. So it's going to require those of us who actually care about honesty, integrity, the truth, making sure people are accurately informed when they go into the voter booth to cast ballots. It's going to require that we do the long, hard work of digging into what these people are saying and exposing it for what it is. It's an intelligence operation. It is an, an effort to dismantle, distract, and totally divide the MAGA base. And I'm not going to let it happen. And there's a lot of us out here that refuse to allow a few grifters, because that's what they are. Let's be totally honest, they are grifters. They are free following the engagement, what I call the Clickbucks all over social media and anywhere that they can. Now, some of them obviously have a much more nefarious agenda. You know, we saw this with like the Thomas Massey's and, and the Epstein hoax stuff. Thomas Massie didn't give a crap about Jeffrey Epstein. He couldn't have cared less until it became very politically expedient for him and the agenda that he was pushing. And interestingly enough, I found this. One of the things that I love to do do my team and I on the Patriot Source podcast, we love to dig into specific topics and just drive them home as much as possible. And would you be surprised to find out that Thomas Massie didn't start caring about the Epstein files until almost the exact same time that the Trump administration announced that we were going to bomb Iran, we were going to take out their nuclear facilities. And then you start to find relationships with people like Trita Parsi and De Quincy Institute and Rona, and you know where that money is coming from and you can see it developing right in front of your eyes. The question is, do people have the attention span to actually dive into the information? And that's what we're going to try to help them to do. So that's what we do day in and day out, day in and day out, because it's important. Our country is under attack by a group of authoritarians who want to take control after Donald Trump leaves office. And the only way they can do that is, is if they destroy him now.

[A]

You know, Patriot dad, that's, that's why you didn't see a concerted effort like this in Trump 45, his first term. They knew he was going to run again and there was a fear of taking him on because they knew if they were to encounter him in a primary that they would probably get smothered, they would get politically crushed. So you didn't see it as of course they were going to. They were know you, you know, there were Trump hate. I'm talking about within our own tent. The left's always hated them. Granted, we get all that. We're not talking about them for now. We're talking about what I call folks, maga, you know, the fake Rolex maga, the people who pretended to be part of our tent and more. They largely stayed quiet because they realized the political power of this new MAGA movement, the incorporation of large groups of minorities for the first time that Donald Trump had built a coalition they had talked about, but they never successfully done themselves. So they stayed quiet. Now that they know he's term limited and can't run again. Now you see this just explosion of the doomers and the grifters. But I mean, listen, I'm a rose colored glasses guy. I am, I'm an optimist. Call me crazy, but I've been in the business a long time. I want to be dramatic about, like Sean's been around like 30 years longer, Mark Levin and others, these are guys who gave me my shot. But I've been around a little over 10 years now. You know, I've been through the Huckabee Santorum fights, the Mitt Romney primaries, the DeSantis Trump fights. I mean, I've been through all these before and I find what happens is voters are pretty, pretty smart people. They get it after a while. Sometimes they do fall in the trap. You and I are seeing it now. They'll fall for some of the stuff because it's, you know, it appeals to emotion. I mean, some people get sucked into a vortex, but eventually people get tired of being lied to. You see it on the left and the right. So what happened with Rachel Maddow after her 4000 tease about how we got Trump this time? Eventually people just kind of gave up on her. You know, I think that's going to happen here in this movement too, because all of the people you just cited have claimed all of these things. I'm going to read all these animals and then they never actually did it. So sooner or later it's either like, get it done or get off the bowl. You know what I'm saying, brother? Like, get it done.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's exactly right. I think most reasonable people, after being gaslit, to the extent that we're being gaslit, they just make a conscious decision, like, I'm not going to follow this anymore. If you can't Deliver the receipts 2, 3, 4, 5 times in a row, it's time to move on. There's one challenge to that, and that's why I do think that the people who are spending the majority of their time on social media trying to debunk this stuff. There's one challenge to that. One thing that Candace Owens does really, really well, she's incredibly effective at it, is she makes her audience feel like they are part of what she's doing. And the psychology, Dan, you know this. I mean, you studied psychology. You understand how this works. Instead of just going out and just throwing slop on the table, she's bringing people in to her movement into what I call a cult. I mean, there's no doubt about it. It acts and behaves exactly like a cult would behave. And she's, and she's enabled this group of people to become these mommy sleuths. And now everything that she says they now become advocates for because they feel like they're connected to it. But the problem is most people aren't. So when they see things like I just saw just yesterday, she just posted a photograph of someone that appears to be Tyler Robinson walking through a garage that was shown at the evidentiary hearing. And it is obvious to anybody paying attention that the photograph that was shown was clearly manipulated. And yet you still have people on social media who will die on the Hill that because she posted it, it's got to be real. Those are people who are invested in what she's doing. But that's not going to last for long. You're going to have maybe a handful of these people who are, who are making money hand over fist doing this. You're going to have some of the 9am Mommy Wino Club people who wake up and they, that's all they do all day. But people understand that we have really important things to deal with in this country. We have an economy that is getting ready to explode because of what Donald Trump is doing in the economy. We have this, this existential threat happening in America where communists and socialists really what I've started to consider the politics of confiscation has decided that now is the time to make their move to try to take over the Democrat Party hand, just take it out. I mean they think that this is the perfect opportunity for it. So it's going to take reasonable minded people willing to say we're not going to be distracted by this. We can engage in it, we can communicate on it, we can debunk things when they come up. But we've got an election to win folks. There's a midterm coming up in just a couple of months and we have very real issues we're going to have to deal with. And most of us are just going to put Candace Owens in a rearview mirror at this point because honestly she's just wasting time.

[A]

Give our buddy Patriot Dad a follow on X at Patriot Dad EV77. It's worth your time. You just kind of nailed home a point. I'm very concerned about the Doomer Grifter strategy again in Folex Mag is very clear. It's constantly tell people nothing's happening, ignore the closed border, the crime numbers, the just explosion in the manufacturing index, the onshoring again of high quality. You got electricians making 250k a year working at some of these cloud computing data centers we're putting together. Listen, I'm not a huge fan of tariffs, but there's a lot of money has been generated from tariffs that could potentially be used to offset income taxes and more damaging forms of taxes. So there are a lot of things going on saying nothing is happening. Now, it's fair to say I don't like what's happening. That's. I don't agree, but it's totally fair. That's. You have right to an opinion like I do. But to say nothing is happening is just nonsense. It's just indicative of your own ignorance or your ability to lie to people. I think the biggest problem I have with this whole thing is what you just said though. The fight we're having now with the Democrats is not the fight we have with the Bill Clinton Democrats. Democrats not a fan of Bill Clinton, but the guy gave a speech saying the ERA big government is over. You say that now, you'd be tarred and feathered in the Democrat Party. We're fighting people now, talking about abolishing prisons, defunding the police, talking about how rapes don't bother them on October 7th, how we deserve 9, 11. They're campaigning with this guy. I mean this, these are not milquetoes, policy positions. These are, these are positions that if these kind of people and their associates are to get into office. You're talking about the actual destruction of the Republic as we know it. And we're getting distracted by dooming and grifting and just straight up lie. Nothing is happening. It's just crap.

[B]

Yeah, I mean it is very clearly the destruction of the Western civilization. That's their stated objective. That's the goal. And you can see it in just about every policy position that they present. You can see it when they talk about things like abolishing the Senate. There's, there is zero constitutional method by which you can abolish the Senate. As a matter of fact, the Senate is the only institution that according to the Constitution cannot be abolished. You can change it, but Article 5 of the Constitution very clearly lays out that the state is guaranteed its suffrage in Congress, which means that you cannot abolish the Senate. The only way that you could possibly do that is for full scale revolution. It's the elimination of the Constitution of the United States. That's it. There's no other mechanism. And the fact that they are boldly communicating that that's what they want to do should tell you everything. About who these people are and the fact that they think the time is now for them to make their move should also tell you the condition of the adversary, the Democrat Party. They feel like they have the perfect opportunity to take over the entire Democrat Party so that they can own a political party and then drive their message. Folks, this is an existential threat. Candace Owens what's happening in social media is incredibly important, but when you go out and look to try to find out what exactly these people are planning to do to this country, I came across an article that was written not too long ago and it was, it was effectively. What was it? The. I think it was Project 2028. I think it was. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it was an article written by two DSA members and they talk about what they plan to do when DSA gets into office in 2028. And it is full on revolution. It is right full confiscation of the means of production. It is freezing assets so people can't leave. It is eliminating, eliminating every tenant of our republic that you can possibly think of. This is the fight. This is what we need to be focused on. And that's what we are focused on here at the Patriot Source podcast. And I try to tailor a lot of my content on, is helping people understand that despite the rhetoric that we're seeing from the politics and confiscation, people aren't buying it. I mean, have you looked at what makes up the Democrat Socialists of America? Less than 5% of their membership are people who actually build things, people who are actually helping to grow this economy. Blue collar workers, skilled tradesmen are the ones who are watching their incomes increase 4 or $5,000 over the last year. They're the ones who are in fact becoming entrepreneurs and are taking those skilled trades and they're turning them into businesses. They are largely the means of production in the country. It is those, it is those skilled people who are building the data centers, who are building the cloud computing, who are, who are literally building the manufacturing base that Donald Trump is revitalizing through the American system of political economy. These are the people that are going to be the targets of the politics of confiscation. And I think they're smart enough to realize that when communist and socialist talk about confiscating the means of production, they're talking about confiscating your means of production. Not some obscure billionaire who's got most of his money and commodities and assets somewhere. They're talking about the plumber the engineer they're talking about, the electrician. The people who put risk, put skin in the game, went out, opened a business and are now thriving. An economy that is basically using the same process that was used to build the country after the revolution, the same process that was used to rebuild it after the Civil War. It's the process that McKinley used, that Lincoln used to rebuild, revitalize the middle class. And I think when people see what the politics of confiscation promises, they realize that it will never be successful. Because the American system of political economy that Donald Trump is amplifying is the only thing that actually works to rebuild the middle class. And that's the reason why when people ask me, has Donald Trump ever done anything wrong that you disagree with, I'm like, yeah, sure, totally. I mean, there's a lot of things about Donald Trump that I don't necessarily align with 100%. I mean, I am a born again, spirit filled Christian and sometimes he says things that, let's be honest, kind of make me feel a little weird. But I agree in his agenda and I agree in the results that I've seen. And I understand where he's going. And if the Republican Party can find it somehow within themselves to recognize that the only way that this republic survives is if we focus on rebuilding this country from the ground up, not destroying it through the politics of confiscation and socialism and communism.

[A]

Yeah, and listen, they're not, they're not hiding it. I mean, if you want to know what the Democrat socialist agenda is, just ask them. I mean, they'll tell you. It's not like anything you just said the Patriot dad made up. Abolish the Senate. Abolish. I say, just go put that in Twitter, in the search bar and you'll see it. And you also said something else I think is really important. You know, if you think, oh, well, you know, I'm middle class and I'm safe from this. Abdul El Sayed, the socialist candidate in Michigan who just won a major party Senate nominated nomination, just openly said like, no, no, we're basically going to tax the middle class too, to take away your health care, to give it to the government, to control your. Like, he just admitted it. It's, you know, it's. But this is what the point I wanted to make on this too is one of the reasons I'm so bothered. And the thing I, if I had to triage my concerns, triage my concerns right now, it is the incorporation into Folex MAGA of leftist victimhood. This Idea that some collective group of people, not an individual, but a collective group of people must have done this thing to you that led to this position you're in. The Jews have done it. The evangelicals have become a target lately. Protestants. I am neither of those things. I'm Catholic and I say to people all the time, patriot, that I say, listen, this to me is not about the Jews. It's not. It's about collective guilt. Like, this never goes anywhere but death, destruction, torture. We've had Holocaust, mass exterminations in communist countries. I mean, what else do you. What historical example do you need me to point out? And the fact that I've seen the same technique that leveraged by people pretending to be on our side, where every single problem, like, now it's like the Hunter Biden laptop. It's like the Jews that you're like Holy Moses. Like, at what point do we realize, like, this is a leftist technique to get a bunch of people into a corner of like a WWE ring and just like beat the crap out of each other, except it's real, you know, like, you cannot fall for this. This to me is a public threat number one, within our own intent.

[B]

I completely agree. And, and you're absolutely right. It is a technique. It's a technique that's been borrowed from the radical left because.

[A]

Correct.

[B]

You can see it work. I mean, you, you can see it deployed. So you can see when people in social media are using the exact same tactics of the left. And we should not be surprised by this. I mean, folks, you understand that when the Democrat Socialist of America broke off from the International Socialist Organization Organization and then connected themselves directly into the Cuban radicalization networks, they started developing this strategy of. Dan, you're familiar with the guy named Antonio Gramsey who's kind of sitting in, in fascist, fascist prisons. He developed this, this framework that, that helped revolutionaries understand why they were not able to take over the west effectively. What he said is, you're not going to be able to destroy a Christian nation until you destroy the culture. And the only way to destroy the culture is to break the cultural hegemony, the thing that makes the country who they are. So you have to go after the collective mindsets, the values that the country collectively believe in. Christian values, moral values, capitalist values. You have to go after those things collectively. You have to go after the relationship between the United States and Israel. Are there things that are going on in Israel that you probably disagree with? Yeah, maybe, sure. But they are one of our best allies. They are one of our Best partners in the Middle East. That is a relationship that they have to break. And unfortunately, the, the people that make up what I have referred to as fake ass, gay ass Americans, these people who, these people who are black pillars, they understand exactly, exactly how to use the same tactics you have to break the hegemony. And Dan, one thing I'll say so right after, right after the Charlie Kirk assassination, my team and I were starting to dive into what happened in that event. And one of the things that we came across was a blog post written by an Antifa organization. And in that blog post they talked about how in order to break the hegemony of the conservative right, who were, who were basically becoming united because of that event, they were going to use Israel as the wedge to do it. And you should not be surprised to find when people who are obviously operating on behalf of foreign intelligence operations are using the same tactics that people like Antifa were talking about right after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It's a strategy, it's a tactic and unfortunately it's working for some people. But I do think a lot of people are starting to wake up, Dan. I think that they have had enough of being lied to. They've had enough of the propaganda and they realize that we're at a critical junction in our country's history. It's either going to be authoritarianism or it's going to be rebuilding the middle class in the American economy. You can't do both at the same time. And I think people know that.

[A]

Yeah, I got to run. But I definitely share your optimism as again, someone who's just as a function of time. I've been in this space for well over a decade. You know, we've been a top performing show thanks to this amazing audience. I'd love them to death. But we, we've never, you know, we've never let them down with sticking to a true north direction. And I think when you do that, it's, it's cyclical at times. Like you're gonna see this creep up. I've seen it at least two or three times. The various collective guilt movements, they, they, they surface on the right. You get like some bots in there. There's a lot of real people. People do. It's not all bots, but you get a lot of bots, a lot of foreign money that comes in. I know you see it on Twitter. You put up a post, you're like, oh my God, I can't believe all these people. It's not real, man. It's not real. Whenever they do like a wipeout of the bot accounts, you notice it goes down like it's almost non existent after that. So I'm just telling you someone who's been here a long time, you know, and I know you don't need a lecture from me. You're already there. But just, you know, stay focused on being on the right moral arch of history and your show is always going to do well. All this stuff always goes away. I could tell you a thousand names of people. Some of them you'll be like, who the hell is that? And I'll be like, exactly. The person was a big thing four or five years ago and now they're complete zeros. You can find them on X at PatriotDad EV77. I keep pointing because I don't want to mess it up. @patriotdad EV77. I wrote it down. Thank you so much much for spending some time with us. We would love to have you back if you're open to it. And I'll be watching your stuff. That was really great commentary. Thanks so much.

But it's about, you know, passing that torch to other creators too and making sure you're getting information from people, you know, who are just telling you straight. They're just telling you straight. I mean, that matters, that sticking with that north direction. Thanks so much for tuning in. Really appreciate it.
