A Gift? (Ep. 2578)

In this episode of the Dan Bongino Show, Bongino opens by praising a CNN segment where a host challenges a guest’s praise of Cuba’s socialism, noting the guest’s shocked reaction, and uses it to illustrate a broader "reality check" for the left. He then pivots to criticize "doomers and grifters" within the conservative movement who predicted Trump’s failure and primary losses, but were proven wrong as Republicans won decisively, causing their "meltdown." Bongino highlights Democratic nominees like Angie Nixon in Florida and El-Sayed in Michigan, who embrace socialism and Medicare for All, arguing their policies will alienate voters, especially anti-socialist Cuban and Venezuelan communities in South Florida. He also discusses a C-SPAN moment where a Democratic strategist refuses to back El-Sayed over his ties to 9/11 apologists, emphasizing leadership requires challenging allies. Bongino dismisses a CNN story about Trump aide Natalie Harp riding in an SUV’s cargo area as a manufactured scandal, noting similar incidents under Obama were ignored. He advises listeners to disregard polls, which he calls "reliably wrong" and biased toward Democrats, citing statistical evidence. Finally, he promotes his radio expansion, warns about cyber threats to critical infrastructure, and shares J.K. Rowling’s observation that people cling to absurd beliefs to avoid humiliation, urging audiences to stay focused on truth and problem-solving.

we get it oh i didn't watch i just heard sure sure you did and by the way i feel amazing today thank you for hanging in while my voice was destroyed the last few days as i battled after school uh fungus all the kids go back to school you know my daughter included what they do they all bring home every one of my names got the same thing they got this cold all the kids brought home from school i feel amazing today you ever have a cold and you feel like crap for like seven days finally you wake up in the morning you feel normal but you feel extra great because you don't feel like crap that's today that's why i've got so much energy i'm gonna get to these cnn clips in a minute i'm not gonna spend a ton of time on this but yesterday folks was meltdown day so why the meltdown yesterday just explain it to you they told you the doomers nothing is happening the trump administration sucks don't vote for don't show up our candidates have a better vision the doomers and the grifter candidates they all lost they all they all got smoked matter of fact some of them lost from seats they already had you know how hard it is to lose as an incumbent on the republican side it's almost impossible some of them managed to do that so given that it's nearly the end of this primary season here as votes are coming in they're starting to realize now that everything they told their audience about this power base they have please listen to me this is critical because i got this question like damn what happened yesterday you're always trending on x yes because we're the most popular maga show out there so you get like ankle biters that come in and want to grift off your name they're upset because everything we told you things we told you were going to happen are now starting to happen reporting the daily mail about swalwell today you're starting like things are starting so they told you nothing is happening and now it's all happening so that's a lie they don't have anywhere to go with that and then number two they told you that the maga movement is going to be taken over by our guys now these guys are so powerful look at all the tweets look at all the bots we've got shame on you guys for supporting president trump and everyone got smoked everyone got smoked so they don't know what to do they don't know what to do so yesterday was epic meltdown day you saw like the the uh guys screaming and yelling yesterday about everyone wants to fight people looking for like bare knuckle matches the meltdown was just epic there was another meltdown ronald mcdonald some guy ian schroeder or something had another meltdown gets on another guy's show who the other guys upset why is he upset this guy's been upset for years since i started having scott pressler on my show that's the only reason this guy that's the only reason so what do they do ronald mcdonald here ian schroeder and the stroker dude they get on the nothing's happening everything sucks conveniently right as the whole primary season is melting down for them and the other guy's just upset because he doesn't like scott pressler i was warned about the other guy a while ago i haven't mentioned it too much so what do they do they have to like ankle bite at the show because they can't make the show go away they've tried for 10 years between the doomers and the lefties and the media they've tried everything and nothing happens it's like that scene in a cartoon where you're holding the head of the the guy and he's trying to punch and he can't punch it that's what they they don't know what else to do so they freak out now you got cody perjone on x like i did the fbi's dan bongino organized january said yes you're 100 we definitely did that that's it makes a whole lot of sense here's my regret in this though and i'm going to warn you if you get in the content space justin can vouch because he's been well he's been here the longest but justin too justin's been around forever we were really accommodating with people earlier in our career well why do you regret that because folks i'm going to be candid with you there were a lot of people including the guy who's melting down now because he hates pressler he just hates scott whenever you have scott on your show this guy loses his mind right and i'm going to warn you if you get in the content what i thought it was about the movement no to us it is we we give platforms to people like vince and hayley um and sean farish we have people on the show when they have books coming out because it's i've said to you often it's not about me it's about the movement to others it's about them it's not about the movement they may have done some things uh that you know you appreciate in the past doesn't make all their life's work a bad thing but once you see these bizarre unhinged meltdowns you should ask yourself why and usually it's because their ego got in the way and they think it's a bad thing and they think it's a bad thing and they think it's a bad thing and they think it's about them and not the movement so my regret is early on in my career wouldn't you agree justin we were very accommodating to people we had on the show even though there were a couple red flags right i mean i'm i'm i'm being honest i my my wife is a very good judge of character and so is gee too like he's really good at this too because he's so dry he doesn't get emotional about anything and a couple people we had in our show turned out later to be really bad folks i'm really sorry i am i tried to be accommodating to give people a platform later on in my career I realized like sometimes you just have to take a chance and ice people out you have to keep your circle small so that's my regret you'll see now you know over the last few years going forward and after the experience in the FBI when I got in there the minute we got off the air people who had just begged to come on the show and wanted to be friends of ours and all this all of a sudden when they knew I couldn't say anything it's not about you when you're in the administration turned on a dime I'm just going to warn you if you get in this business be really really careful who you deal with because there are people in this business who it's all about them it's not about the movement at all they were exposed yesterday they were exposed because everything they told you was real completely fell apart when the last primary started to wrap up and everything they told you was real just turned into complete disaster I promise you at the end of this four years of the Trump administration when the body of work both me and cash and everyone else puts out versus the body of work on the other side defamation suits multiple multiple all of everything they told you falls apart in courts of law and elsewhere it's going to be an embarrassing moment for all of them embarrassing that's how confident I am in this let me get to this because this is important again I don't think that was so usually I'd say sorry for wasting your time but that's really what I'm saying I'm not going to lie to you I'm not going to lie to you I'm not going to say sorry for wasting your time but that's really what I'm saying I'm not going to lie to you I'm not going to lie to you I'm not going to lie to you I'm not going to lie to you I'm not going to lie to you you get that things go on behind the scenes there's little jealousy matches people don't like each other if you have one guest on and they're in the same space they'll email you that guy sucks don't have him on this happens does it not happen Justin all the time with I can't believe you had that guy on trust your buddy Dan you think it's like all oh my gosh what a good guy I can't believe you went after that this guy's so okay we're always right every single time every time I saw this this morning on CNN and listen there's a wow factor to this that we should all embrace like the wow factor on CNN is wow that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard folks we're in a moment right now and I'm going to put this tweet up by the author J.K. Rowling you know the Harry Potter series you know who she is J.K. Rowling's not a MAGA person at all but she put a tweet up because I bet you're starting to say to yourself too is you see all this stuff and you're probably hearing this for the first time about these behind the scenes little like petty little grievances where people make it about themselves so have to get they become doomers and all that they lose their minds you're probably like Dan what what can we believe anymore the answer is believe the truth as I said like we have a record of what we did at the FBI that involves numbers people either rested or they weren't numbers went down or they didn't like we have a record you can believe the truth when they're based in numbers we're getting into the truth era right now where you mentioned Lindsey Clancy flock cameras data centers and people have an opinion not you guys based on almost pure emotion it has nothing to do with re you can't reason you can't run a society like that I'll put the post up in a minute but this is what happens when all of a sudden living on emotion and not reason and focusing on emotion rather than problem solving this is what it looks like when it kicks you in the teeth on CNN you're a journalist going on a network and the host himself is like hey man I'm not buying the socialism stuff from Cuba watch the reaction of the guest he does not know what to do this is what it looks like when finally reality kicks in check this out your your criticism of foreign policy as I said it's not an uncommon one but lauding Fidel Castro is a different story you talk about what things were like before the revolution in Cuba I'll give you a personal example my grandfather was a revolutionary in Cuba during that time he was affected by a previous dictator Fulgencio Batista having his friends disappeared in the street for speaking their minds my grandfather found that Revolution hoping to bring democracy to Cuba and then what happened felt like Castro locked my grandfather up sentenced to 20 years for doing what you're doing now on live TV for speaking his mind for expressing himself freely for trying to organize politically so I wonder again how you think that lands with people who suffered under that dictatorship who now you were trying to court as voters when you're organized politically so I wonder again how you think that lands with people who suffered under that dictatorship who now you were trying to court as voters when you're organization comes out and lauds 100 years of Castro. I don't think it would land well with them, Ashik. We're seeing many people in the United States who are struggling under massive inequality in the United States. That's co-chair Ashik Sadiq. I'm not saying your name wrong on purpose. Forgive me. I'm not intentionally mispronouncing it. But Ashik, that's not at all what he asked you. Do you see people, Pop-Tarts? What? I asked about Cuba. Banana-flavored matcha? What? I asked you about Cuba. Look at the face on this guy. He doesn't know what to do. He's like, wait, I'm on CNN, right? You guys are pro-communism and socialism? Justin just pops out of the studio. He's like, you need to tell the audience because you've been warning him about this, warning the socialists that it's not you guys. You guys already know this. Folks, I live in Florida. It's not a mystery. I don't hide where I live. I live in South Florida. South Florida, from basically, you know, Indian River down, the Treasure Coast in South Florida, has an extremely large population of Cuban and Venezuelan people who have had to live under actual socialism. I've said, gosh, I even said it, I think, on Laura Ingraham's show last night. I dare you, as a Democrat socialist of America, Ashik Sadiq, to go into any Cuban cafe in South Florida, I dare you, with a sign saying, we love Castro and Cuba, socialism is great. I actually, like, I want to say I'm joking, but I'm not. The only reason I want to say I'm joking is I'm really afraid you're not going to get out of there, and I don't want any, I'm not into violence at all. I'm genuinely afraid you won't make it out of there. Folks, this is what it looks like when reality crashes down on you. This is why I tied it into the Doomers in the beginning, who totally crashed out yesterday. It was, the meltdowns were everywhere. Videos, tweets, it's like, it was like Little Bighorn, like the last stand. They didn't know what to do. The left is having this moment now. They're having the exact same moment at the end of primary season that the Doomers had. The Doomers are. The primary season is wrapped up. They just had a Democrat socialist candidate beat Vindman in Florida, a socialist in Florida, full of Cubans and Venezuelans, and they don't know what to do. So now all of a sudden, CNN and others, and good for the host, are having this moment where they're like, oh my gosh, this is real now. Now we have to run these people in real races. Do you understand this lady, Angie Nixon in Florida? Who just won the nomination for the United States Senate race? Is going to be in every single TV ad talking about the wonders of socialism in Florida from this point till election day? She's going to, it's the top of the ticket. I know there are Democrats listening who don't know this. She's not running for a state Senate race. It's a United States Senate seat. Meaning, sorry for the non-idiots in the crowd, which is the Bongino Army. The idiots are the liberals who watch my show and the Doomers. I know you're here too. She's on everyone's ballot. Every single person that gets a ballot in Florida is going to see Angie Nixon, Democrat. Isn't that the one who said socialism is great? My parents are in a prison in Cuba. That's the Democrats. They're having the same moment the Doomers are. Everything they told you was BS. And now they don't know what to do. Florida, I was on Ingram last night and I said, title today's show conveniently thrown in there again this is a gift to republicans i i don't vote democrat i don't vote democrat primaries i'm a registered republican i encourage you to register in a party too or else you only get to vote once i get to vote twice you get to vote twice yes i get to vote in a primary in an election i don't get to vote twice in the same election you don't register for a party you get to vote once why would you do that even if you're like well i hate both parties i don't fine you may hate him at least pick the lesser of two evils you get to vote twice you're muting your own voice this woman they don't know what to do with her now in florida the republican party is going to make her the face of the new democrat socialist movement because she won then this happened yesterday too justin knew right away just like that he's like let me guess you want to group these together yes i do el sayed in michigan el sayed the guy who wants medicare for all meaning your private insurance gets canceled you have an employer plan you like done I showed you the text yesterday in the Wall Street Journal. No, Dan, that's not true. Freaking read a book or in this case, a bill. I'm just a bill. Just look at the bill. It is unlawful to have private insurance when the Medicare for all covers that service. It's in the bill. Al Sayed supports this. Imagine being a UAW, United Auto Workers Union member in Detroit. Big auto presence for GM. And you find out after years of busting your ass, forfeiting some salary increases for risk protection in your health insurance plan that now your plan's illegal and you got to go in the government insurance pit. Imagine learning that the Democrats are now having to digest all of this. You got a guy campaigning with a 9-11 apologist in Michigan. So this happens on C-SPAN. This Democrat operative. And again, I'm not telling you like, oh, look, these guys have finally seen the light. They saw the light a long time ago. I'm telling you now they've done a calculation that now the primary season is over. We didn't expect this mess to be this big. And now they've got to clean it up. Watch what happens. This is a C-SPAN panel. You're going to hear this guy, Michael De La Rosa. First, you're going to hear the caller. The caller's like, what? What kind of Democrat are you? Because he's asking legitimate questions like, hey, I'm a Democrat. We got to deal with this craziness now. The caller's furious. He's a Democrat. But I want you to watch the response. You need to see it. It's been all over this morning. Check this out. What kind of a Democratic strategist are you? Now that we're down to the general, are you trying to get Democrats not to vote for him? Well, I've never I've never supported a Republican in my life for the Senate, for the White House. For Congress. And I don't live in Michigan. So, I mean, my opinion really doesn't matter that much. But I could never support El-Sayed for a couple of reasons. One, there are certain things that do transcend politics, do transcend parties. And that's OK. That's what I was saying. Vote blue no matter who. The problem with that is who still matters. At least it matters to me. And I just come from a time when I know I watched people jumping out of windows. On 9-11, 70 miles from when the towers were falling and burning for three months, we could smell it from where I was from in Pennsylvania because of how the wind blew. It's personal to me. And 25 years later, somebody who can't stand up to his friends on line, on streamers. I don't even know who these people are. But if you're too cowardly and too weak to stand up to somebody who justifies terrorism, who justifies 9-11, who justifies the. The suffering of people, all those people did was show up for work that day or showed up on an airplane. And this guy doesn't have it in him to say it's wrong to say that or to stand up to his friends. The test of leadership is not standing up to the other side. That's easy to do. Standing up to your friends and he's too much of a coward to do it. Folks, I'm really just trying my best to make sure we don't need to have these moments on our side. We've done a good job cleaning up our party, hence the Doomer meltdown. Yesterday as the season wrapped up. But it shouldn't have even gotten this far. Justin's video of the day. Justin, two videos of the day. Oh, Justin and Guy. Sorry, I missed that. Folks, 9-11 is not, you know, when people say, oh, it's not a partisan issue, but they like health care is not a partisan issue. Yes, sure it is. Republicans have ideas and Democrats have ideas. 9-11 is not a partisan issue. People died in the most horrific way. Burning alive, jumping out of a 100-story building. There's no apology tour for that, for the Islamo fanatics. I want to tell you just something quick that happened. This is just, let me just take a quick break because I need to like gather my thoughts. Because this is, the fact that the Democrats waited this long and have to have these moments on C-SPAN now, in spite of rationally and intelligently early on as a party, saying, hey guys, we can have thoughts on health care, education, law enforcement, the military. There's no alternative thought to 9-11 that says we deserve it. You can have the thought, but it's not a credible political idea that should be aired under our Democrat brand. This is just happening now. Like, they're just coming to this realization now. We can't let that happen to ours. Quick break and I'll, let me write this down. I don't want to forget. Sorry. It's a live show. So, as you learned from. From the quantum capacitor meltdown this week. Hey, you know what's interesting? When you find something that works for you, you stick with it.

It's one of the reasons I started paying more attention to peptides and biohacking. I'm not the only one. Stuff's gone mainstream. Even the HHS secretary supported making peptides more accessible to regulated sources. People are looking into NAD+, peptides like sermoralin, glutathione, GLP-1s, and all kinds of options for helping them feel better as they get older. My father, he says, "Getting old, it ain't for the young." He wasn't kidding. 40 didn't feel like 40, but 50 sure as hell feels like 50. Do something about it.

Thank you, SuperSure. I really appreciate it. Folks, just quickly, we're so far past now 9-11. It doesn't seem like it to 50-year-olds because it was basically halfway through our lives. But tautologically, not everyone's 50. There's a large and growing population, thankfully, of younger folks out there. And they didn't see 9-11 like we did. And so I think it's important for us to think about what we're doing. When I was a young police officer before my time in the Secret Service, ESU Truck 7, one of their units, turned out out of our precinct in the 7-5. So I used to see them in the back. There was a parking lot area in the back of the precinct. And I remember, only reason I remember it is I wanted to be an emergency services guy. I just left for the Secret Service later. Everybody did. You know, the old adage was when people need help, they call the cops. When the cops need help, they call ESU. I wanted to be an ESU guy so bad. So I'd see these guys come out, you know, good shape. They got all like the gear. And I was like, man, that's pretty cool. I want to, you know, I want to do that. A lot of those guys died. Truck 7 lost quite a few guys in the towers. And I think to myself, you know, a lot, how many of those guys that I saw coming out was like, wow, you know, proud of that guy. I'd like to be one of those. How many of those guys did I pass? And I think to myself, you know, a lot, how many of those guys did I pass? Because kids don't have a dad. They sit there and Thanksgiving and Christmas for 20 plus years now since 9-11. All the could have been, would have been stories. What would have been like to have my dad walk me down the aisle at my wedding? What would have been like to have my father watch me graduate from college? What would have been like for my dad to watch me get my badge? Maybe they became police officers themselves. Those are questions that will never be answered. And I know it's decades later, I understand that, but to the younger folks out there who follow this Hassan Piker and these other guys, these apologists for this stuff. they've said it listen to their own words about deserving 9-11 and elsewhere just listen to their own words folks there was no darker day in my lifetime if you lived through that you were scarred forever and there is zero chance there's a constituency among sane people in the united states young old or indifferent that 9-11 we in fact deserved it there is no constituency for that and i'm really sorry it took you this long to wake up to it now i said i'd show you this jk rowling tweet i did not forget jk rowling of course is a very famous author she wrote the harry potter series i think it's pretty clear she's not a MAGA person uh does not associate you know with republican or conservative politics but she's been very vocal about the trans issue and other issues as well which of course makes you an instant excuse me enemy on the left so i've been you i've been trying to push this into the conservative space and thankfully it's starting to catch on there are people out there on the doomer and grifter side and i'm not talking about the ones that are paid that those are just ops okay i'm like there are a lot of people out there who just fell for it and they're still going with it you see it now with all the nonsense conspiracy crap and it's it's just it's it's turned into just complete ideological chaos nobody knows what to believe anymore that's the goal the problem i have is some people are shown given on the cliched silver platter hey you believe in this but this is not true and here's the evidence like well i don't believe that either folks there are some people that are so far down the rabbit hole you can't rescue them jk rowling addressed this in a tweet you're seeing it now on both sides the more nonsensical and obviously absurd a belief is the more people who hold it or pretend to will resist recanting keep this up that sounds that sounds like a lot of people are that sounds almost counterintuitive if an idea is clearly nonsensical socialism works space aliens kill charlie whatever it is you would think people would forfeit that that's not the way the crazier the idea the more people resist recanting she explains why that's because the potential for humiliation rises in direct proportion to the ridiculousness of what they've publicly swallowed they have no choice but to double down the crazier the idea once people look and have to say to themselves i can't i i can't believe i bought the space alien nonsense it's that moment where you have to accept the fact that you fell for it they will not do it they will go to the grave drinking the kool-aid for those of you who've heard the expression before they will never let it go this phenomenon is everywhere now so you may say to yourself rightly so so dan what's the point then why do you continue to do the show to this group of people who are interested in the truth if there's other people out there despite no matter how many times you show them the results what happened they're not going to buy it why would you continue to do it the answer is i learned during campaigning for office myself that there's always a third party listening always always i used to campaign at state fairs county fairs i can't tell you how many liberals i ran in maryland maryland maryland one of the most blue states in the union i would be out there with like whatever bongino for congress there was always some lunatic that would come up yeah you suck why do i say uh school choice sucks why does it suck and you'd let them scream and they would vent they would blow up and lose their minds that you would convince them of nothing you'd be like well why not just give the parents a choice they pay for the schools screw the parent whatever there was always a third person who was listening they'd be like this the pose not not the pose like the other guy but they'd come up to you after the exchange and they would say hey man i heard your arguments there and you know i i didn't really know how important a school choice thing was but it would happen all the time i mean i'm not using exact language i don't be dramatic but there's always a third person listening you see it now with all this these ops out there everywhere this the current thing just pops up out of nowhere you see with this lindsey clancy case ever people have an opinion based purely on emotion this ag hamilton put this up about data centers folks we have no way out of the debt crisis we're in without winning the ai race we'll be dead he notes the anti-data center stuff's insane and clear evidence we have entered a post it's it's clear evidence we've entered a post-truth era where many people can be convinced often by malicious actors to abandon reality and allow conspiracies and falsehoods to drive policy preferences i'm not let me just be again crystal clear i've invested in the tech economy for a long time i am not telling you in your community how to vote that's your business i don't live in your community i live in mine you don't like them fine you don't like an issue fine just don't become emotion focused become problem focused and the way to fix a problem is to gather the data do a net present value what works for you and what what doesn't the the excuse isn't like let's scuttle the ships burn the ships and blow the whole country up i'm going to give you some economic numbers we're going to we got to get to this at the end of the show the debt thing and that parker thing i'm going to show you what i mean all of the things people care about republicans and democrats saving your retirement democrats you know believe in social security a lot of republicans believe retirement can be done you know other ways social security's got some issues tax money roads schools all of this stuff is dependent on us solving problems if we get lost in every single op just like what happened with the nuclear power industry and elsewhere you're going to find yourself in a place where five years from now maybe less we're all under cyber attack put that kelly mayor thing up at the end we're all under cyber attack because we lost the ai race and you're going to be like my gosh i know it wasn't the current thing at the time but maybe i should have spoken up here kelly mayor news on x the nsa cisa fbi doe and epa are all warning americans to this afternoon of the threat of unidentified hackers trying to breach devices made by siemens that are used to monitor and operate water facilities and other critical infrastructure systems sounds like something we've done i've only mentioned ics industrial control system attacks cyber attacks on water and elsewhere a thousand times folks this threat is real just because some random account told you on twitter like you should not do this because i said so paid for by so-and-so and this is why i'm saying this this doesn't mean we should commit national suicide it's not easy enough to tell people the truth being a current thing or is easy in this business it is it's the easiest thing to do speaking of which when you fall for the current thing sometimes like lunatics will burst into your studio sometimes this happened the other day some lunatic like bursted in here screaming that's what happens when you fall for the current thing and you're emotions okay you got the other camera oh the other camera you believe this this is crazy it's happened in the studio the other day i'm glad you had the multiple camera view justin picked up on what i said all right disclaimer this is not in fact someone who broke into the studio screaming and yelling we have very good security this is in fact the senate nominee in florida angie nixon screaming like a lunatic on the house floor in the state of florida folks this is what it looks like when everything is the current thing all the time she really thinks this sells andy you look like you have something to say there i was just thinking that folks in the chat andy just said something i was thinking too did you catch it in the chat the the outfit the pink outfit she's got the matching megaphone that must be part of the op make sure it looks really cute the microphone's got the megaphone excuse me he's got a matchy outfit folks it's all an op man it's all bs this is what current thingers look it's what the doomers look like yesterday i mean i'm telling you i haven't seen a meltdown like yesterday in a long time since i came back to the radio and they all freaked out before we go any further i want to address another another current thing it's not a doomer current thing this is a left-wing media current thing folks there are so many people in the left-wing media who will fall for the dumbest of current things and the latest current thing some of you know where i'm going with this is president trump has a personal aide natalie harp she's very nice she does great work for him i mean you're not going to meet someone more dedicated to the maga mission than natalie harp you're just not whether you like her or not i i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't care i'm not interested just like i really don't care i'm like say i don't care but i'm just like it's not going to alter my behavior at all if you like me or don't not one bit in other words i don't care enough to change telling you the truth neither does she or president trump the left-wing media hates natalie harp because she is the new like that's it the on the dartboard they're throwing the darts this is what it looks like when you're screaming into a pink megaphone with the pink outfit on the house floor like a crazy lunatic this is what it looks like on tv absent the screaming but the effect is the same they're upset that natalie harp who's a personal aide to the president personally to the president is so good at her job that even when they, this story requires a little bit of background, forgive me. I was a motorcade agent twice in the Secret Service. I went back as the whip. Sometimes in the motorcade, there are mistakes. Every vehicle is manifested. You do not just get in. If this is boring, I'm sorry. It's important you understand this story though, because again, speaks to my point how the media doesn't know anything. Apparently the like SUVs that we are, they have trunks now. Maybe some SUVs may have trunks, not the SUVs we use, in the trunk like an old car. Like remember Goodfellas where they throw Billy Bats in the trunk? There's this crazy CNN story. She got in the trunk of the car. There's no trunk in the SUV. She got in the well that has a seat in the back. Sometimes when you're doing a motorcade, occasionally a manifest, one of the manifests will be wrong and someone's missing. And it always looks like this. We just call it like ring around the vehicle. They're running around the vehicle. Where's my spot? Where's my spot? It happens. CNN, this was a huge story yesterday. They threw Natalie Harp in the trunk. Oh my gosh. I watched this. I'm like, Vince brought this up on his show. I'm like, really? Let me listen to check this out. What more are you learning about Natalie Harp? Well, it just shows you how much she cares about President Trump and how she wants to be in proximity to him. This was back in 2023 when President Trump was, in court in New York and he was going down to head to the courthouse and the motorcade was waiting outside of Trump Tower when staffers realized that there weren't enough seats for Natalie Harp. They hadn't accounted that she would be going down to the courthouse and she was told that. Now, a screaming match then ensued in the lobby of Trump Tower at that time with essentially Harp saying that the president had personally asked her to go and she was determined, so determined to not be left behind that she actually got in the trunk of one of the SUVs that was part of the motorcade and sat there. It's almost like a cargo hold. It's not a cargo hold, you imbecile. There's a well in the back. Have you ever seen a Chevy Suburban or a Tahoe or a Yukon? Have you an Escalade? They're all basically the same frame. They're modified many times with the seat back. And even if they're not modified, sometimes people will just open the back gate if the manifest is wrong and they'll just sit sideways. They were going to the courthouse. It was like a two-minute motorcade. This is only a scandal on CNN. Now, I want you to keep in mind, someone said in the chat, thank you, your experience is always, I appreciate it. I don't want to bore you. That's it. This happens a lot. It happens in elevators too. Sometimes the Secret Service will miss someone in an elevator. You get in an elevator with your name on it. If you don't, you don't belong in the elevator. These mistakes, these mistakes happen not often, but they happen. This is not a nightly news story on cable TV. I want to prove to you too that Natalie Harp as a personal aid is just a Trump story. It's not a story story. They just want to attack President Trump. The Doomers too, by the way, will harp on this too, some of them. Have you ever heard negative stories about Reggie Love? Like, who's Reggie Love? Thank you, exactly. Justin, do you know? Folks in the chat, do you know who that is? First person who gets it, put him up on the screen. Most of you don't even know who he is. That's the point. Reggie Love was Obama's personal aid. Traveled with him everywhere. Why weren't there big scandals? Like, oh my gosh, he jumped in a well with them. The answer is because it was Obama and the media loves Obama. So they didn't care. What about George W. Bush? 43. What about his personal aid? The guy's name was, was it Blake? I remember we worked with Blake. I don't remember his name. It doesn't really matter. Why wasn't he a huge story? The answer is because he wasn't Trump either. They just hate Donald Trump. Folks, these are just dumb, stupid stories. Yes. Pimp Daddy Payne. Is that like Big Daddy Kane? Obama's personal assistant. Yes, Pimp Daddy Payne. Missed a couple letters. You did get it up fast. Ain't no half stepping. Some of you will get that. You guys don't get that at all, do you? You're way too young. Look it up. Look it up right now. Anyone in the chat get that? Okay. Folks, ops are everywhere. The current thing today is Natalie Harp. The current thing, this is what I was, ever since I got back on the air, I get this question a lot in our email. I get it in DM messages people send my team. Dan, why the hate? Man, towards you? Why the hate towards cash? Why the hate towards basically anyone in the Trump? Natalie Harper? Why the hate? Folks, I told you the answer is to demoralize you and get you to hate the administration no matter what. But many of these people are afraid to take on the president directly because they know they'll get squashed. So they think they can pick off people around him one by one. I've warned people in the administration. It's only. It's only a matter of time before they come for you to their only agenda is demoralization. Ops are everywhere. Ari Fleischer pointed this out yesterday about the polling scandal, like pointed out yesterday how folks you can take most of the polls you read and throw them right in the garbage. Most of them are completely, utterly worthless. Ari Fleischer put this post up on X. It was Qantas Insights had this thing. Great work here from Patrick Graffini across 3300 Senate polls over four cycles. He finds. The Democrats have a plus three point seven average error basically in their direction with 73% of polls overstating Democrats. Even more interesting is that the error peaks around Democrats plus close to six in late July before narrowing toward Election Day. Ari Fleischer says, Everyone pay attention to this. Stop thinking polls are accurate. They've long been biased towards these. This careful study shows by how much folks it's a scam. These things are ops. They are not legitimate. Not there were some polling outlets that do their homework. The point is many of them don't. And until they can fix their statistical errors, what's the point of a poll? I hate to go over this again, but think about do you understand the statistical difference between reliability and validity? I'm going to think of an analogy here about polls. Polls are reliable but not valid. Wait, and that's crazy. They're the problem is people don't understand the difference and they take the polls as if they're reliable and valid. What do I mean? Imagine getting on a scale, you know, to measure your weight. I have one in my little gym in the house, right? Imagine you get on a scale and the scale is off every day by five pounds. It adds five pounds. So I'm about 195. So what would the scale say? 200. Now, if you know the scale is reliable, it's reliable. It's reliably wrong, but it's reliable. It's reliably wrong by the same thing, but it's not valid. It's not measuring your weight. Your weight's not 200. It's 195. But you understand there's an error built in that's reliable. So it's reliable. Just not valid. That's what people don't understand about polls. They think they're both, oh, this is a valid measure. The Democrats are going to win. It's not a valid measure. They're wrong by about five to six points. If you don't know that you don't show up at the polls, you're like, oh my gosh, we're going to lose. We're going to get. We're going to get smoked. I'm just trying to help you recognize these ops out there. They're everywhere. These polls. This is a fact. I just, it's not an opinion. The polls over the last four cycles said this, and this happened. The elections are over. The data is not disputable. Take the polls, roll them in a ball, and they're not, they're garbage. They are reliably wrong. You can't, you can add between three and six points to every Republican's result in a lot of these races. And then you'll have a better idea of where they stand. Folks, some of these same people, again, the Folex Maga guys do this too. They're reliably wrong every single time. Reliably wrong. Therefore, their opinions are not valid. The scale is not measuring your weight. You're not 200 pounds. No, people didn't come from Jupiter, the planet, not down in South Florida, and engage in some murderous conspiracy. You've been reliably wrong every single time. Your opinion is not valid. Everything you say has been proven wrong. And yet the doomers continue. Nothing is happening. Well, here's what happened. Nothing happened on the COVID case. Well, this happened yesterday. It doesn't matter. I'm just going to move on to my other reliably wrong opinion. Will Chamberlain put this post up the other day. I bet you've been told to the Trump administration. They're just not deporting it. It's unbelievable. I don't know where this came from. Tom Homan's disputed it. The Trump administration's disputed it. Mullen, the DHS has disputed it. They've given you actual numbers. People are either deported or they're not. Andy, how would you know someone's deported? And he's like, they're not here. Like we said, This isn't hard. The poly market. Justin, you have to do it. refugee admissions are now on pace to hit their lowest lowest lowest no this isn't superman and low lowest level on record with nearly all refugees admitted this fiscal year coming from south africa i i heard the trump administration had given up will chamberlain notes yeah but being sarcastic obviously yeah but trump isn't doing anything or on immigration or so i'm told he he's being sarcastic folks these people are reliably wrong everything they tell you is wrong it's the scale that doesn't measure your weight so why are their opinions going forward valid on anything i don't know why you would fall for that there are other people out there i'm talking about folex maga the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the other people out there i'm talking about folex maga the i don't know why you would fall for that there are other people out there i'm talking about folex maga the forget it folks it's over there's no energy in the midterms it's already lost look at the polls forget the liberals i'm talking about folex maga people on our side then you see these numbers out of florida put up that daughtry tweet i thought nobody cared i thought everybody was demoralized nothing is happening we've stopped deporting people massive amounts of refugees being admitted into the country crime out of control there's nobody being investigated for anything i thought that was all happening and everybody was pissed off i thought that was all happening and everybody was pissed off eric daughtry breaking florida republicans now lead democrats by nearly 12 points in primary voting statewide which is weird because the gop's total registration advantage is only 11 points election day turnout 521 000 republicans 236 000 thems notes republicans are overperforming above and beyond even their insane registration i thought everybody was miserable i thought everybody was miserable like ronald mcdonald i thought everybody was miserable i thought everybody was miserable i thought everybody was miserable like ronald mcdonald and it drives people freaking crazy it does it drives them nuts they cannot they just can't get over the fact that they cannot make this show go away they have tried forever and it just pisses them off because their audiences shrink as this thing expands we're now moving back into radio oh by the way there was a little confusion about that sorry i don't mean to get sidetracked my podcast isn't going anywhere nothing is changing 10 a.m i'll see you here live every day the radio show again is going to be starting on monday first hour 3 p.m to 6 p.m eastern i know the doomers are upset i'm sorry you're gonna have to seek some help on that i can't help you okay there's also more news coming about radio for those who think it's a one-off it's not three to six nationally radio stations across the country sean ferris is going to be live live from three to four first hour my four to six show is going to be some of the content from the it doesn't affect the podcast at all i probably should have been a little more clear on that but the show is expanding and there's more news ahead i know that's going to upset everyone i don't want us to descend into chaos we're going to be happy warriors in this movement because i choose not to be miserable i wake up every morning and i told you i say i'm damn bongino i love jesus jesus loves me why because it's true man manifest good things in your life smile a little bit got to walk around screaming and yelling all the time about every nothing's happening you want to turn into these guys this is what a movement looks like when the math doesn't math and chaos completely sets in and you'll say anything to anyone at any time this is talafrico the democrat nominee for the united states senate in the state of texas he goes in is this the breakfast club i think it's a breakfast club right it is the breakfast club which is a very nationwide i think it's charlemagne and his crew they have a huge audience but he goes on the show and he's asked about the uh the carmelo anthony case not the basketball players the uh the the stabbing case many of you know austin metcalf it's a horrible case right horrible case he says one of the craziest things i've ever heard because carmelo anthony happens to be black and the person who was murdered austin metcalf is white that somehow the conviction in this case shouldn't matter because there was nobody black on the jury but what the does that argument work the other way do you realize how crazy would be and was it void here the selection process if an attorney for a white suspect in the case was like we only want white people it would sound crazy right it would not be a reliable or valid opinion this guy is a nutbag now you see why they he believes in multiple genders this guy's a nut he's running in texas he's not running in illinois he's not running for chicago mayor let's listen to this crap texas we see what happened with carmelo anthony and you said it was a tragedy yeah what did you mean by that well i've done a lot of work in the state house on justice reform and right now we've got a system that doesn't serve all americans equally and and we know that black texans have been um have not gotten the justice they deserve um in many cases and you know i'm not an expert on this particular case but i know that there were no black members of the jury and to me that's that's the only evidence you need to to to really prove that this system is not working for black texans um you guys ever get picked for jury duty you did i didn't know this was a way out you did you got you got caught did an answer now so just to be clear like if i were to get picked for jury duty right this is how insane this talafrico guy is all he had to do was say listen i trust the american citizen enough white black asian muslim jewish christian it doesn't matter if you're in a jury you're not going to sentence uh excuse me you're not going to convict someone and vote for their guilt just because of their skin color that's the answer it's not hard josh you ever get picked for jury duty you're not going to convict someone and vote for their guilt just because of their skin color he was juror number one i didn't know a way out of it was to say hey man that guy's asian i'm white i'm no good for this wouldn't you be admitting you're a racist this is what it looks like when a movement becomes not reliable or reliably wrong i should say therefore not valid you want to vote for this guy in texas racially segregated juries what are we back to jim crow juries now i thought they were they always claimed they were the party against jim crow which is ridiculous if you read the history right exactly why isn't it the lawyers like the lawyer like oh my gosh we got all white people here like what this is the craziest thing i've ever heard folks this is what it looks like when the math doesn't math and your opinions are reliably wrong put up the wall street journal article you've got this lady now running in florida angie nixon the screamer and she's like pink megaphone pink outfit screaming like a lunatic she's a medicare for all supporter so is al-sayed he's trying to run away from it now and so is she al-sayed in michigan two democrats medicare for all meaning your insurance gets canceled period it's in the bernie sanders bill i showed it yesterday watch the show look at this section if you think i'm making it up unlike your show our show is reliable and valid we were right so they have a piece of james freeman in yesterday's wall street journal and he's citing an article about what government-run health care for all looks like he notes in canada the closest country to the u.s that is universal health care health care spending is responsible for 12.7 percent of gdp several points higher does that say higher i thought this was going to save money than the average spend of oecd countries they note despite this higher spending the median waiting time between referral from a gp and receiving the treatment from some specialists has hit 28.6 weeks which is 208 percent longer than the weight canadian patients would have experienced in 1993 they note from april 2023 to march 2024 almost 15 000 people died waiting for health care in canada according to a freedom of information request so just to be clear keep this up for a second fellas you're gonna pay vastly more on average through your taxes for government bureaucrats to tell you when and where you can have your chest cracked open if you have a heart attack you're gonna have waiting times that exceed by far sane reasonable averages around the world where you have free market health care and you pick yourself and you're also gonna have it rationed to the point where tens of thousands of people die on a waiting list those are just numbers those are just numbers man you're gonna have to wait until you have a heart attack and you're gonna have to wait until you die on a waiting list those are just numbers man this is what it looks like when the math doesn't man this is what it looks like when the math doesn't math would you believe that a government bureaucrat gives a damn about your health care because they care about they most of them can't even figure out how to get you a driver's license and the dmv here's also what it looks like when the math doesn't math remember the new york city grocery stores with kamdami they want new york city government-run grocery stores ladies and gentlemen the government can't get you a driver's license they want to run a grocery store the way they're going to make the grocery store cheaper is by using your tax your money to buy food for not you very few people are going to get into this grocery store because they're going to run out of products but your tax dollars in queens i lived in queens are going to be used to pay for a grocery store and you're going to get into this grocery store because you're going to run out of products store in manhattan that's the way they're cheap this isn't hard that's reliable and valid an apple here's 10 cents well that's not what an apple costs no it does when taxpayers pay for it's whatever you want you just take taxpayer money but there's a problem the problem is the math don't math and the scale don't work because now other grocery stores in the area that have been serving their community forever are like hey man whatever i have to charge a dollar for an apple i can't charge 10 cents because that's not what i paid for it so you're going to put me out of business with taxpayer money i've been serving the community forever so how do you make the math not math and try to make the math math here is a mamdani administration official saying don't worry this is real this is not crazy it is crazy but i'm telling you this is real she's like don't worry we're going to take more of your taxpayer dollars and then give money to the other grocery stores to make up for the money they're going to lose to the taxpayer funded grocery store this is this actually happened that justin's like now i get it now the math is mathing i'm not joking with you man check this out ultimately the goals of these locations not just here in east harlem but you know any borough location is to be complementary to the neighborhood um and really you know rising tides right uh we can we can all cooperate and work together in a meaningful way do you mind what what is the i've heard that that term from are meant to be complementary what does that mean what does that complementary mean in terms of policy operations and things like that yeah i think we're you know as an agency looking at a number of different complementary you know policies and programs grants incentives that can come alongside these grocery stores to support other you know local independent businesses that are in the neighborhoods um we're going to continue to listen and we're going to continue to engage um and i'll be you know alongside the operator as our partner um and like i said making sure that we are complementary to um the other businesses that are there here in the neighborhood so other locations other grocery stores can get grants from the city under this something on the table we're exploring a lot of different options and opportunities um i think you know there's a whole host of um levers that the edc is able to um work within um to make sure that you know everyone has equitable and equal access to opportunities here thank you these guys are laughing their asses off what are you guys laughing about open the door like i feel like i'm not in on the joke they're like you see the movie dune i'm like yeah everybody saw the movie dude they're like that's paul atreides and i look twice i'm like oh my gosh the dune 3 is coming out it's gonna be gonna be a grocery store you know the sandworms yeah they need a lot of food they're really big they're gonna go to the mom dummy groceries to paul atreides right oh my gosh dude that is so weird i hate that bro that is put that up again holy moses you did it you actually made me like laugh about something that i didn't put in the show my mother's in the chat paul atreides running a grocery store what do they call him again what's his thing lisa on el caib you got the uh the guy from no country for old men in cape fear i forget his name the liberal dude with the where's the palace he's from that is so crazy man paul atreides running the grocery store paul atreides that is that is so weird man it's paul atreides not paula paula tradies you gotta get there it's like jay's abacus some of you'll get that i want to show you another video what i mean a second gavin newsom trying to make the math math so nothing's gavin newsom's obviously running for president hair gel out in california the problem gavin newsom's running for president hair gel out in california gavin newsom has is gavin newsom's the governor of california that's the what do you mean dad how you run on california and the exit is from it like my policies are so popular in the most one of the most beautiful states in the union they have amazing weather coastline everything that people can't get out fast enough the problem gavin newsom has is gavin newsom is the governor of california that's the problem i want you to after this i'm going to show you a video where he's trying to make the health care numbers look good so he basically says the quiet part out loud and he's proud of it how he made the numbers look good we enjoy our percentage of insured people wait are they here legally no so we're paying people aren't even citizens for health yes quick break folks i gotta tell you about something i've started using before paul and i head out on a friday night it's called z biotics pre-alcohol what does it do well for me here's it's about it's about enjoying a night out having a few adult beverages and being ready for everything i have planned the night before i'm going to tell you about something i've started pre-alcohol is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic drink created by phd scientists it's designed to produce an enzyme that breaks down a byproduct created when alcohol is processed in the gut just make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night enjoy your adult beverages responsibly and you're set up for the next day in fact that's exactly what happened to me after a night out i took pre-alcohol was amazed woke up feeling really great could still hit my workouts go on with the day not feeling sluggish or anything from the night before mondays don't move for anyone pre-alcohol works overnight so you can have a real weekend and still show up sharp so how do you get it go to zbiotics.com slash bongino use code bongino for 15 off that's zbiotics.com slash bongino use code bongino for 15 off these statements and products have not been evaluated by the fda they're not intended to diagnose treat cure prevent any disease or condition thanks z biotics give them a shot here again is what it looks like gavin newsom who's reliably wronged therefore his opinions on anything going forward should not be valid he's talking about how the percentage of uninsured people in his state beats texas what he doesn't tell you is the same fake paul atreides trick this lady just tried to pull hey we're gonna lower prices yeah of course you are by other taxpayers paying for other people to get basically free food that's how this works you can lower the percentage of uninsured people all you want if the taxpayers in your state are forced to finance health care for illegals check this out right to um assess what we've done on expansion and we've done about as much or more than any other state in the nation we're about 5.9 percent uninsured rate put that just for perspective in contrast to a state like texas gets a lot of attention a large state they're close to 16.7 they they're in 16 to 17 california is below 16.7 percent california is below 16.7 percent california is below 16.7 percent that's a choice they've made that choice we've made a different choice now that we've expanded health care in a controversial way i'm not naive and i'll take the grief i said i'm committed to universal health care and i meant it the voters um supported me on multiple occasions and we delivered it regardless of pre-existing conditions ability to pay and immigration status oh and immigration status thanks for cutting that right there where you can see exactly what he means folks life is a trade-off everything is a trade-off you've heard the cliche there's no free lunch there is no free lunch all you have to do is ask yourself is this scale reliable and valid is his number reliable is his number valid how did he get there well he got there by taking your taxpayer dollars and giving them away to illegals that's how he did it that's how they make the math math sometimes we need a cerebral cortex cerebellum medulla oblongata we need a cleanse this is a clip from phil donahue's show years ago milton friedman who if you if you haven't seen clips of milton friedman however old they may be they're all epic there's not a non-epic milton friedman a video segment about how stupid the politics of envy are whether it's do it or not it's not a non-epic milton friedman video segment about how stupid the politics of like this is just a spiral of hatred milton friedman gets into it with this lady you know for milton friedman i shouldn't say gets into it that can be taken away but they're on the phil donahue show and the lady's like i can't believe they're all these rich people they don't need the money that's not the point what they do with the money is what matters and watch the lady just Economic common sense that's both reliable and valid. Check that out. this out why is it we have so many a million years and everything in the United States and we still have so many impoverished people who try to get up into the world they can only eat that much eats you know so what do you do if they don't eat it and don't sleep don't use it what do you suppose they hoard it what do you mean they put it under their pillows right no they keep investing it investing it in that's right yeah what are they invested in well in oil and everything where I mean all these other people were invested and don't get off the subject no invested in well I invested in a lot of different things that the little people need well do they invest it in factories yeah some of that money end up in the chair do those factories and machines provide ordinary working people with jobs or not what do you suppose the productivity of this country would be and of the other the wage rate would be if the total amount of capital in this country today was what it was a hundred years ago where do you suppose the improvements and productivity come from except from the rate the investment by people of their savings but let me go to your fundamental question first place nirvana is not for this world there is no paradise of course we've got a lot of people who are poorly off but if you look at it over time if you get a sense of proportion the well-being of a ordinary people has been the main thing that has been improved by economic progress and economic growth and development and residual most residual hard cases of poverty today are the result again of a failure of government why do we have a teenage black teenage unemployment rate in 30 to 40 percent because of two failures of government one a failure to provide decent schooling which is a governmental responsibility has been whether it should be or not it has been and second because of a minimum wage rate which prevents those kids from having had decent schooling from getting jobs at low pay at which they can earn the skills on the jobs that would enable them to rise to higher if you look at the sources of poverty you will find a very lot most of them are derived from that what I regard as wrong-headed government policies somebody said in the chat that's the original Karen and someone said is that a dog on her head not but this and though that that lady that she just doesn't know she's giving you the same the simple that I can't believe they're rich people they don't need the money well what do you think they did with the money how do you think the country got so rich that we're the richest country on Earth by far by far how do you think we got here by handing over all of your profits to the government to redistribute them out to people rather than investing them in factories and products and research and R and D how do you think we got here man and she's like well why are people still poor it's a very simple answer the government has a monopoly a near Monopoly over the public education system I say near Monopoly because some kids can escape where there's school choice some just can't they don't have the money and they can't even teach a kid and then when they can't teach them anything Friedman's right they go out into the market and their skills may be worth I don't know 15 an hour in today's inflated economy and the minimum wage in the state is 17 or whatever and they're not going to hire them so then they can't even get a job the government is the cause of all of your problems it is not the solution our comment of the day once a
