Dan Bongino delivers a passionate and urgent warning about the growing political threat to the MAGA movement, describing a coordinated infiltration by Democrats and left-wing actors who are actively spreading disinformation and pushing narratives to discourage voting. He frames this as an intentional "extinction burst"—a reaction to failed attempts to suppress MAGA enthusiasm—where attacks have intensified due to the failure of previous messaging. Bongino highlights that key Democratic leaders have openly endorsed policies like open borders and expanded government welfare, signaling a long-term ideological shift toward socialism. He warns of severe consequences for free speech platforms, such as YouTube, which may ban or censor pro-traditional content after a Democratic takeover, citing recent restrictions on firearms-related content. Using economic data, including record-low unemployment and rising job participation, he counters claims of economic collapse, arguing that the nation is thriving under current leadership. He also shares a personal shift in belief, moving from opposition to advocating for firing squads over lethal injection due to concerns over the inhumanity and failure of current execution methods. Ultimately, Bongino urges active voter participation, emphasizing that apathy and misinformation are tools of subversion. He calls on listeners to diversify their content presence across platforms like Rumble to avoid censorship and to recognize that political survival depends on electoral engagement. The message is clear: the fight for American liberty is ongoing, and failure to act now could lead to a systemic collapse of conservative values and institutions.
all america all the time sit down buckle up and get ready for the dan bongino show
yeah get ready for it maybe we should start calling fridays like flamethrower friday on
the dan bongino show um this may be one of those shows folks uh it's for a reason i promise you
you know you know deep in your soul down to your dna that i've said for years and years and years
like especially in that 30 to 60 day critical pre-election window that what is perceived as
republican on republican what i would call political violence not actual violence but in
some cases maybe sadly political violence is so
you
completely counterproductive it's why i've limited
the the name calling because then it becomes about personalities and not about an issue
however folks this is now unavoidable you now have people pretending again to be in our movement
you can be in whatever movement you want it's a free republic but we have a movement it's called
the maga movement and you have people who've secreted themselves inside a movement now
actively telling people that they're not going to be in our movement and they're not going to be
in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement
not to vote
i no no we can't do it i'm going to describe to you generally the contours of what's happening
right now what i know is happening right now what's happening to the entire trump administration
and how you need to overcome this and just drown out the noise we've all been through this before
we've been through it in primaries i could argue with you though that was actual republicans who
just wanted a position to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement and they're
not going to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement and they're not going
to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our
movement and they're not going to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement
and they're not going to be in our movement
and they're not going to be in our movement
and they're not going to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement and so on.
and they're not going to be in our movement and they're not going to be in our movement and so on.
says,
Yes, yes, look, banger, yes, yes.
I said, get your asses in the car.
I love that.
I love that.
Thank you.
Guy, you lose again.
Folks, me and Guy have this ongoing dispute about stuff.
He's almost always wrong on this.
He's a great producer.
He just, he's got a bizarre way of always picking the wrong side of the chat.
It is.
That's it.
That's it.
He's the reverse Jim Cramer.
It is the reverse Guy.
Everything Guy says about the chat,
I'm telling you,
it's always wrong.
It's always wrong.
Yes.
Yeah, I don't even think there's a single no in there.
Thank you.
We're just asking for consideration.
I'm not telling you it's done.
All right, listen, when you talk about liberty,
talk about it with a smile.
It is a Friday.
So I don't want to depress you all.
However, I do have to tell you something
right in the beginning of the show here.
That's important.
Because it's very relevant to what's happening.
And some people have asked,
why is this going on with all of these people
we thought were our friends?
Coming after you.
Folks, they're not your friends.
I unfortunately found that out the hard way.
They are, matter of fact, they are your enemies.
They are, they're even worse than your enemies
because your liberal opponents
like the Rachel Maddows and others
who are outwardly telling you they can't stand you,
they can't stand your movement and fighting against you.
These are people who have a lot of people
coaxed and hoaxed into believing they're their friends
and then are stealing money from their wallet
while they're there.
We've been going through a lot on the back end.
This is not some, I'm nobody's victim.
I don't need, want, or care for anybody's sympathy at all.
That's not why I'm telling you this.
We have been under a full-blown assault here.
To the people who are doing it,
and you know what you're doing,
we know what you're doing too.
And if you're that group doing it,
trying to destroy all of us,
with your attempted infiltrations,
I want you to know we can do stuff too.
If you saw the volume of threats
and the attacks on this entire business here,
folks, you would be, really, you would think we were,
We were like Idi Amin.
The problem is, as I told you, I was the first person with any kind of a profile to do my
term of service and exit the Trump administration, which they hate.
That's why they're telling you not to vote.
You can see it.
There's an entire network of people out there doing it.
It's coordinated messaging.
And they move on from one current thing to the next.
Well, what's happened is they've failed to mute MAGA enthusiasm for the president and
the party he represents.
So now what you're seeing is an extinction burst of behavior.
I've explained this before.
An extinction burst in psychology, look it up, is when you put a dollar or a couple of
dollars in a Coke machine.
The Coke doesn't come out.
And what do you do?
You start kicking and screaming the machine.
In other words, you expected a reward for your $2, you expected a Coke, and you got
nothing.
So they expected a reward monetarily for suppressing voter enthusiasm.
It's not working.
We're now 30 days out, and they're in a full-blown extinction burst.
Don't you find it weird, podcast to stand, just in the past few days, all switched from
one narrative to the next, all seemingly at one time?
You think this is all for free?
Folks, they're trying to distract you in mute enthusiasm.
The extinction burst has begun.
They are desperately latching.
They are latching on to power, because the benefactors that are paying a lot of these
people off, if they can't produce the expected result, which is the destruction of the MAGA
movement from the inside, they're just going to stop paying them.
They are latching on to power.
You can hit me and attack me all you want, suggesting somehow that we were in this for
anything other than principle.
I left this very lucrative, fantastic career in the media space.
it. And maybe that's my weakness, you know, and I accept that. I do. That's my fault. I really did
give folks a lot of leeway, even though there were some red flags early on, nothing that was
catastrophic. Now the red flags are everywhere. This extinction burst. They're kicking this coke
machine like nothing I've ever seen. Anyone telling you right now not to vote, to let the
socialists win and destroy America, despite a closed border, street crime, violent crime,
murders at an all time low, the economy humming along, even the jobs numbers that came out today,
they're like, well, they missed expectations. Yeah. You know why? Because Trump let go so
many government employees. That's what I, and they were still positive. And 500,000 people like,
well, you know, the job, the labor force participation rate went up. Well, it went up
because.
Because 500,000 people are now entering the workforce again to work because they see the
economy humming along. Did you even look at the data? Even like the quote, bad news is good news.
Oh gosh, here we go. That was a good one. He's like, you know what other ass said?
They're very good. That's actually very clever. Sorry. All right. Listen, quick break. And I'm
going to show you what your choice is coming up. And I also want to urge some caution
on this. They attempted hijacking story, or I want to urge some caution on this.
Bongino rule on this one. Quick on that. And then I'm warning you, you have a choice. Here's
what we lose to if you don't go out and vote. Receipts incoming. Hey, we're still a couple
months out, but the midterms are fast approaching. And make no mistake, if the house flips, it's a
big deal for our economy. That uncertainty is one of the reasons I'm diversified with gold from
Birch Gold Group. And I'm not the only one. In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential
election, the spot price of gold jumped over 12%. Why? Many investors consider it a hedge against
uncertainty.
If you don't own gold, I'd suggest talking with Birch Gold. They'll discuss your goals and explain
how precious metals can fit into your savings. They'll even help you convert an existing IRA or
401k into an IRA in gold for no additional money out of pocket. With an A-plus rating with the
Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of happy customers, Birch Gold can help you too.
Text my name, Dan, to the number 989898. Get a free info kit and get some solid information.
The midterms will be here before you know it. Text Dan to 989898.
Message and data rates may apply. Thank you, Birch Gold. Text Dan to the number 989898.
Thanks, Birch Gold. A quick word of caution. This report came out yesterday on Fox. Again,
I'm not on the inside anymore, so I have no way to independently vet this through sources. I'm on
the outside. I'm doing my investigative work from the outside as any non-crazy, whatever journalist,
that title would do. But there is some suspected, and I want to emphasize suspected, Iranian ties
to this potential hijacking. I say suspected because, you know, we have to be careful with
this. And I know President Trump has been very patient with Iran, despite people pushing him to
make really, I think, hasty moves. And he's been the one to kind of slow this down and do it the
right way. So check this out. And please apply the Bongino rule. Give this some time first before
we make any decisions. Check this out.
I spoke to the president as he was boarding Marine One on the South Lawn, and I asked him
if anybody has briefed him in the last day and a half about whether or not this fly Dubai pilot,
the one who allegedly tried to take down the plane, is linked to Iran. And the president told
me they're working on it right now. He would say the answer based on what he is hearing is yes,
but they are working it right now. And because it can be a little bit noisy here at the White House,
I asked him, so this guy might have been put in there by the IRGC or radicalized some other way
and then sent to take down the plane. And the president said it could have been. Yeah. Earlier
today, when we heard from the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, he said it was too
early to tell if this this copilot was linked to Iran. The president gets different briefings,
though, in addition to all of the intel sharing that we do with Israel and with other partners
in the Middle East.
That is moving here. And according to the president, it is moving in the direction
of an Iranian linked incident.
I love the whole hold at hold emoticons, whatever we call them in the chat.
Hold everybody. Just hold. There is no reason to rush on this. We have assets in the region.
Let's vet the info. And I know the president's doing that. He's very deliberate in his approach,
contrary to what left wing media want to tell you. I worked with the man. Don't tell me what he's
what he's I was.
There. He is very deliberate in his approach, contrary to what the goons in the media want to
tell you, folks. You have a choice coming up. And listen, no, it's not better red than dead.
It's actually I'd rather be dead than be red. OK, I am not living in a communist socialist
country and I'm not doing it because it's easier rather than the right thing to do.
Oh, we're just going to fall because it's the current thing. I'm not doing that. And you're
not doing it either. I know you're not doing it. This we are going to fight here. That's what we
do. I don't care what the current.
Thing is, if election night, God forbid, turns into a blue wave, I'm waking up the next morning
and fighting again. What do you want me to do? You want me to imagine being in like a revolutionary
when we were fighting England, King George and having a, you know, a bad day at Bunker Hill,
Yorktown or whatever, and saying like, I'm giving up. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that again.
I love this country. There is nothing like it. There will never be anything like it again. It's
touched by the hand of God. That flag behind me is not a tablecloth. It represents an idea
never tried to this extent or scale in human history that has created the most powerful,
most powerful, wealthiest, strongest, most powerful military in human history.
I'm not throwing it away because some socialists said so. And some socialist sympathizers said so
because it was the current thing. I'm not doing it. I'd rather be dead than red. Not the other
way around.
I want to show you how these people on the left, you're getting ready to hand the country to
folks. They knew what they were doing. Okay. They're pretending now that it was suspension
of disbelief. You know, when you go in a movie, they have this thing called suspension of
disbelief. You go in there, you know, it's fake. We all watch Braveheart. We saw a hold.
You see at the end, freedom and guy. I've been probably guys crying in that movie. Onions
everywhere, right? And Braveheart guys love them. Why? It's fake. Mel Gibson wasn't really
eviscerated and disemboweled.
At the end of the movie, I don't think it's a spoiler. Movie's been out like 30 years.
Why? Why do we get all emotional? Because we suspend our disbelief. We suspend it while we're
in the movie and it becomes a really emotional, riveting experience. Folks, I don't think the
Democrats did this at all. I don't think they suspended disbelief. I think they went into the
movie, the Biden administration, the Obama administration, knowing the whole thing is fake
and they just didn't care because they wanted to destroy the country.
Here's what I mean. Here's a very popular guy on the left. Very popular. Has a huge
podcast. I think it's Pod Save America. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But this guy, Tommy
Vitor, here he is like all of a sudden pretending to have this come to Jesus moment that, oh
gosh, we just found out like immigration and inflation under Biden, like we're unpopular
among voters. This guy's a smart guy, folks. I'm sorry. I don't believe a word of this.
They did not suspend disbelief because then why am I playing this? This is important because
if you believe this, then you're not going to be able to do it. You're going to be able
to believe this guy here. You believe like they've learned a lesson. Oh, spending a bunch
of money and causing inflation like they did under Biden is not a good thing. Open borders
aren't a good thing. They're going to do it again if you vote for these people. I don't
believe this is genuine. Not a word of it. Check this out.
I do think we as Democrats need to just more publicly account for the fact that we were
way wrong on immigration. The country absolutely disagreed with our views. They believe that Joe
Trump was going to let the border get crazy and out of control. And that drove a shitload of voters
to Republicans. And that's just an example of where like just pure economic populism isn't going
to solve it. And we're seeing similar stuff in like Germany, by the way, where like the far right
and the far left are doing well in part because of this demagoguing of immigration. So there's just
other elements that are just not like quite as clear cut as the kind of 2016 Bernie kind of
populist agenda that I'm like behind.
Folks, this guy has a huge audience.
Huge. This go go look at the podcast charts. We put them out. You pod track Triton. Go look at them.
This guy's show pod save America is at the top of the charts all the time. Liberals love this show.
Do you really believe he's a smart guy? He's not stupid. It's not personal. It's just this is this
is for the this is literally and I hate that word for the future of the country. They know what
they're doing. My point to tie it to the beginning of the show is that I think it's a good thing that
we're not going to have a lot of people who are going to be like, oh, we're going to have a lot of
people who are going to be like, oh, we're going to have a lot of people who are going to be like, oh,
is, so do the people engaged in this cash-funded subversion exercise in Folex MAGA now.
This is not an accident, folks. There are some who've been suckered, some, a very small number.
Most of them know exactly what they're doing. They have not suspended disbelief.
They're working for the same goals these people are, open borders, modern monetary theory,
i.e. mass government printing of money and inflation. They're working for the same goals
to subvert the United States' freedom and liberty, constitutional, public,
horizontal, and vertical separation of power system.
to get to a collectivist socialist basically empire in the united states the democrats told
you who they are and i'm not talking about just one of them you hand the country off to them you
are going to have open borders and a welfare state which the great milton friedman has told
you is not mathematically possible you're going to open the border to billions of people to come
in to lay claim to your tax dollars do you have any idea how quickly medicaid medicare social
security programs i know many of you love and rely on but are struggling do you have any idea
how quickly these programs would be absolutely bankrupt if we open the door to billions of people
that's what they want no they don't hat tip the great maze more here's the receipts folks and it's
not just one here are very prominent democrats who already told you they plan on opening up the
entitlement state all the benefits you paid for to illegals coming in the country and i promise you
they have not suspended
disbelief they will do it again and the folex people are helping them because they believe
it's better to be red than dead i'd rather be dead than red check this out i'm opposed to any policy
that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety
public education or public health period universal health care for all regardless of
pre-existing condition regardless of the ability to pay and regardless of your immigration status
i talk about health care being a human right last time i heard that undocumented people
are human beings as well just to be clear that health insurance for undocumented immigrants
is a deal breaker for you excluding people from the ability to get in on health insurance we're
not just harming them we're punishing ourselves medicare for all as i put this together covers
everyone regardless of immigration status and that's it now we're having a hearing today about
why we should push
people who were brought here as children off of health care coverage denying health care to
anyone i believe is morally repugnant folks they're telling you who they are just like the
other subversives inside of our tent are telling you who they are why would anyone tell you not to
vote why would anybody do that knowing that these are the people who will take charge those are the
actual people that is not ai generated those are that is the modern leadership structure
politically of the democrat party kamala harris gavin newsom aoc bernie sanders this is where
the energy is this is what they want to do when they tell you who they are i'm just asking you to
believe them it is not better to be read than dead do not suspend this belief
this isn't entertainment like a movie you don't have time for that to put on blinders and assume
because people in the past pretended to be your friend that they're your friend now despite telling
you hey stick the fork in the electric socket don't do that you're going to electrocute yourself
folks i'm not running what dog could i possibly have in this fight i'm not a political consultant
i'm not i'm not getting uh money from political candidates i have good
candidates on because i like them i'm just desperately trying to save this country knowing
the threat and the threat is very real i'm going to move ahead a little bit sorry to go out of order
but i think it's important i cover this too because i want to show you that gun owners of
america video let's just skip ahead to that we can go back to some of the other stuff
it is a live show sometimes i lift and shift stuff and i'm feeling this right now like a lot
i what you think is turmoil folks we've been through this before man i've been in this game
a long time back since 2011 i've seen it before we've been through hundreds of primaries and
people attack us and all this other stuff this i i've never seen this on the organized foreign
government end like this coming after i've never but i've we've been through this before
we're not going anywhere i promise you've tried for a decade now it's not working keep trying though
folks this is who you're handing your country to you know i saw after the the trump 47 victory i
saw this and i i gave a speech recently at uh club 47 which is one of the largest if not the largest
maga group in the country it's in palm beach it's an it's a great club you should look them up they
get thousands of people i think there were like 2 000 people at the event so we had a great time
justin was with me there good crowd good people right i gave a speech and it's it's
i i had written kind of some bullet points i never write a whole speech out it's just you know
people don't want to see you read from something i just put some ideas in my head and i thought
like i should warn them about the biggest threats to this maga movement going forward in the era
post trump he's not going to be around forever well one of them i i just discussed is socialism
it will destroy not just the maga movement but the country but the second thing i warned about
which i really encourage you and it's not about you here you guys are the diehards is apathy
after the trump win that there was this feeling of like what we've won and maybe we can take our
foot off the gas pedal i'll give you an example of what i mean you you know i i put my stuff here
on rumble it's a free speech platform i do it for a reason the audio of the show is on youtube but
not the video i love when people send me screenshots of youtube as it there's no video on there you dip
wads we're freaking exclusive to rumble like you look like morons just like those guys who keep
sending that stupid
article about you know the dan bogino show last year suffered a drop in viewership
gee did we have a show last year why didn't we have a show
oh because i was that's right yeah it's actually amazing we didn't have a hundred percent drop in
viewership there was no show yeah however that's a whole it doesn't matter just make themselves
look like complete losers but i've seen a lot of people flocking back to youtube and i'm not
telling you not to do that i'm not if it's a distribution platform and i just said to you
beginning of the show that matters i'm in no way telling you not to do that i'm just telling you if
you're not backstopped your content on free speech oriented platforms that don't do cancel culture
stuff that the second the democrats getting back in power you are i can guarantee you they're going
to cancel you again i was banned from youtube again i don't need any lectures on it because
i told you masks don't work during covid you can look it up
here is a video from gun owners of america youtube's already back to their old tricks
apparently if you have firearms related content there's some new restrictions out there
i'm telling you the second the democrats get back you're going to get wiped off that platform again
check this out youtube just put a stop to sponsor content for firearms creators hugely affecting
some of the largest channels on this platform that millions of law-abiding gun owners frequently watch
youtube updated its branded content policy completely banning
sponsored content involving firearms and ammunition what this means is that under this
policy videos that were done in exchange for something of value including payment sponsorships
or free products involving firearms or ammunition are no longer allowed on youtube and almost right
on cue a few days later everytown's propaganda arm a news publication called the smoking gun
publishes an article about the connection between firearms manufacturers and youtube
the article itself is full of alarmist writing warning
that the community of firearms youtubers who they refer to as gun tube are spreading political
extremism and white supremacy folks this is again a level 10 decision i have to tell you this because
what i'm about to tell you is not going to be popular with a good number of people and some
others will understand i'm not questioning your your title to your opinion about youtube
post or don't post there your opinion is perfectly valid it is not in my
interest anywhere not financially not content wise because the full show video is only available
here on rumble that's it to tell you this at all i don't like sharing personal conversations but i
believe it's relevant here especially who it's about but one of the last conversations i had with
charlie um he had he had called me and he was we were chatting about you know radio
we would talk about content a lot and we would text about stuff and what the best way to reach
younger folks where charlie was an actor i mean you know that but some people trying to destroy
his legacy uh are just full of crap and hate him and pretend they like him uh they don't they don't
know the real charlie charlie understood the go tv get out to vote and activism game and we got
into a long conversation about you know do you post on youtube or tiktok or not and he convinced
me he said dan i get a lot of younger voters
who haven't heard of other platforms who find us on youtube and then eventually convert to a free
speech platform later so i don't think it's sensible to get off and i said you know what
charlie that makes a lot of sense that's why i do post some audio over there and some short clips
and we post on tiktok as well because folks i can't forfeit the next generation uh i i i can't
do that and toss the country over to socialists better red than dead people i'm not doing that
i'm not so i'm
not telling you not to post there, especially people
You know, the show does well. I mean, we do. We're not going to tell a guy who's just out in the space or a woman, hey, don't post and, you know, generate any income. Don't feed your family. I'm not going to tell you that. I'm just telling you this. My message is be very careful, number one, because in this election, if we lose the midterms and God forbid we lose the presidency because people fell into the trap, you are going to be wiped out.
Back your stuff up and start building your content channel now. Rumble and elsewhere. I don't care if it's the elder pipe. I'm just telling you, you will get wiped out again. If you think all of this, don't fall for the apathy like we won. It's over. I even had a friend of mine reach out the other day. Something happened because I can't believe this cancel culture stuff is coming back. Would you thought the lefties were going to give up? What are you crazy? They're never going to give up ever.
Listen, the commies never give up. They're waiting for you to give up. I'm not giving up ever, ever. We could lose every freaking congressional seat on election night. I'm not giving up. I've got two daughters and a country to save. I'm not. I'm not giving up. I'm not. We'd be down to one listener. Lucy, the dog. I'm not giving up. Lucy made an appearance on the show. Very popular. You know, I got a ton of emails about that. Folks, they're going to go right back to weaponization, too.
This is why I've warned you from someone who was on the inside. We did everything we could to institute multiple guardrails. There were huge turnover. There were terminations. There were people who left. There were people who resigned. It was something like thousands of people who left. If they bring a lot of these people back, you're going to have the same problem. It doesn't matter if it's the IBF, FBI, DEA, AED. It doesn't matter when leftists put people in government.
It doesn't matter what the organization is. People are policy. Don't ever forget that. They are going to go right back to this. Right. But that's why elections are important. There is nothing. There is. You can wipe out the entire federal government. The second the Democrats win the white aspect, they'll hire everyone back again and screw you over.
We've got to win elections. That's why people telling you not to vote. They have an agenda.
I want to show you what I mean. Here's President Trump.
Yesterday, he understands the threat. He totally, completely, 100 percent understands that this threat has not gone away. Apathy is our enemy. Oh, this is the one on pardon. Sorry. The audio here is not great. These guys cleaned it up a little rotor rotor spin in the background. He's by the helos. But he's asked about pardons for his administration officials. You don't think he knows what's going to happen? Of course he knows. Because the guy was shot. He's been attacked. He had attempted assassinations. He's been dragged through mugshots. He's been dragged through.
Court trials. You think this guy's giving up fighting for you? What is he doing this for the money? That's crazy. He knows exactly what's going on. Check this out. It's a long time from now. So is that something I'm thinking about now? But based on Biden, I can do whatever I want because he certainly bought a lot of big fights. Everybody of no.
Alex Maga, don't vote crowd that this guy somehow hasn't fought for you. What the hell do you think he's in this for? I don't understand what you think he's in this for the money. No, he's definitely in it for the fame because no one knew him before he ran for office. I grew up in New York. He the guy was the most. You want to talk about notoriety? I bet he had 100 percent name ID in New York City.
Okay.
Folks, I can't take it anymore with this crap. It is unreal.
It really is. I'm sorry that this is filtered in, but I cannot have people telling you not to vote. Let this administration go down in flames because you're telling people this fairy tale somehow that nothing happened when in fact it did happen and then you moved on to something else. Everything you told us wasn't going to happen. There's going to be no action on fraud in the Minnesota Learing Center. They're up to like thousands of arrests right now. Billions of dollars saved. There's going to be no action on voter fraud.
I just told you.
I played the clip yesterday that there's thousands of investigations going on and they just announced new indictments yesterday. Oh, there's not going to be any action on the deep state. Did you miss all of the public corruption cases that happened? Oh, there's definitely not going to be action against left wing organizations. Really? You mean like the SPLC case, the BLM case? What are you talking about? Everything you told people wasn't happening already happened. You can look it up. And now I'm hearing this new.
The disconnect in the media world from the real world in the economy is like nothing I've ever seen. Folks, is the economy perfect? The economy's never perfect. There's always going to be people who struggle. Always. Joseph Schumpeter, one of the great economists and philosophers, called it creative destruction. When you create new businesses, other ones are destroyed. The horse trading business went down dramatically when we invented the new business.
The automobile. Does anyone want to go back to riding horses? No, there is always dislocation in an economy. However, all I'm asking you to do is not ignore issues. I'm asking you to put issues in context and look at where we are from where we were under the Biden era. The liberal media has you believe and we're in the worst economy ever. How is this happening then? Put up the jobless claims article. These aren't even outlets that like the president. How is this? How is all this happening? U.S. jobless claims fall to lowest level in more than 50 years.
55 years. Does that sound? Look at the date. October 1st. It was yesterday. Lowest level in more than 55 years. We haven't seen jobless claims this low since four years before I was born. Does this sound like the worst economy ever or an economy that's going through some shifts and changes but is motoring along? Well, we're not building anything here. Okay. Barons. Again, no big friend to President Trump. U.S. manufacturing activity expands for the ninth month in a row.
You think I'm making this up? Like these are just AI generated headlines? I've already said to you, I am in no way diminishing fuel prices that once we get better containment in Iran, which I think is happening, are going to come down. You've already seen prices of wholesale crude dropping down and we already control the straight. I get it. But I'm telling you in context, the media is saying, don't vote. We want to go back.
We want to go back to the Biden era. So are the doomers and pillars and the subversives out there trying to destroy our movement. They have no evidence that's true.
Imagine equities market explodes. Your 401k blows up. Your pension plan blows up, too. I mean, this could be like you think it's a golden era now. It could be like the platinum era if we just keep the course going and don't turn the economy over to AOC and Bernie Sanders. That's your option. Check this out.
Nine months that starts with a midterm election. This quarter, it starts on Thursday. And the two after it over the last hundred years are the most consistently positive nine months in all.
All of stock market history. You have to go back to the Great Depression to find a nine month period in that span with a negative return. They've been positive 92 percent of the time with 19 percent average returns.
It doesn't matter what the year before, what the earlier in the year did. This is what I called a midterm miracle. It's a stunning phenomenon that works because nobody ever believes it will, because everybody believes that if my side loses, it's my way or the highway. It's going to be terrible if my side loses. And the midterms tend to bring in.
I'm going to make a prediction and predictions are like holes. You know, you get the point. Everybody's got one. But I'm just going to throw this out there. You elect a group of socialist Democrats who shut down the Trump agenda. I doubt we're going to see a midterm miracle. Even if we can hold one of the houses, I hope we hold both. I think it's a possibility. Be tough. But I think it's a possibility.
If we show up, you're not going to see a midterm miracle. You have never seen a crop of Democrats like this so committed to socialism and collectivism in the United States. You've never seen them this powerful, not modern times, not in my 51 years.
The White House has gotten really hip to this messaging. They do an excellent job here. I want to show you this. I'm going to scroll a little bit. But again, what do I always tell you? Campaigns are soundbites, snapshots and contrast. You've got to get your imagery well.
Memes, photos in the newspaper, photos online. You've got to get your soundbites down. You can't say something in a debate you know is going to be clipped. Even if you say it and you're trying to paint a contrast, you've got to be very careful how you sound.
You also have to tell people what you're going to do, but warn people about what the other side is going to do. This is why the doomers are so dangerous telling people not to vote. Eric Daughtry on X puts out the Trump White House just launched a devastating tracker that calculates the exact cost of the Democrats.
basically promises that would cost the US if they win.
would be $355,000 per household, income would plummet, and mortgage rates would surge.
Here, they have this scroller at the end.
These are just promises the Democrats have made.
They are going to cost you a fortune.
They note the real cost of socialism to your family.
$355,000 per household over 10 years.
Taxes go up $22,000.
If the government bars 12%, more mortgage rates are going to be higher.
The budget cost, again, is only part of the damage.
$52 trillion in new federal deficits.
There's not going to be no freaking midterm miracle we lose to these socialist lunatics.
Thank God the White House is good at this stuff and getting ahead of the contrast message.
It's up to you to get this out there as well.
Take 10 people to the polls.
10, 10, and 10 in the chat.
Please, call 10 people.
Make 10 social media posts.
Do not tell people not to vote.
That's insane.
Many of you have kids.
Why would you hand your country to these people?
I just showed you the manufacturing numbers, the jobless claims.
Even the jobs numbers that came out today, which missed expectations.
Don't gloss over that.
Oh, you know, we're just going to.
No, we're not ignoring any of it.
The jobs numbers, which came in a little bit low, but was still positive.
And the labor force participation rate was up because people flushed back into the workforce.
They're wiping out bureaucratic government jobs left and right.
People are having to move back into the private sector.
That's what's happening.
Folks, messaging, man.
Messaging is key.
Soundbites, snapshots, visuals.
You need to get this down.
Listen, this ad, I'm going to show you what it looks like in practice when you put meat on the bone, too.
Whoever put this ad together for Steve Hilton running for governor of California, this is just genius.
Now, it's a little saucy.
I don't think if you have kids around, it's a big deal.
I probably won't get it.
However, this is the kind of ad that gets people's attention in this new era.
Some of you may like it.
Some of you may not.
I loved it.
It's going to grab people's attention.
This is Steve Hilton running this ad in California.
I want you to just watch this for yourself.
If this doesn't grab your attention and say, hey, nothing will.
Check this out.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Don't be nervous.
It's not that bad.
I've just never done anything like this before.
Like, what if my dad finds out?
Just try it.
Look, give me your hand.
Close your eyes.
And I'll do all the work.
See?
I think I liked it.
I think I liked it.
Now lick it.
Okay.
Sound like my father.
My father does it.
Okay.
Who said that in the chat?
Was it Cam23 or Cat23?
Says, I love the ad too.
I couldn't scroll past it.
That's the idea.
That's the idea.
That's the idea.
An ad's no good if nobody sees it.
A tree falls in the woods, right?
My heart lays in the chat.
Good crowd here for a Friday, by the way.
I thought we had no audience.
41,000 people here watching on a Friday and 1054 in the morning.
I thought they all disappeared.
That's a great ad, folks.
You know why it's a great ad?
Because you watched it.
And yes, was it Cake23 or something?
You can't.
You can't turn away.
Folks, sometimes you really have to shock people.
And the image of the ad is, oh, my God.
There's imagery and the optics in there.
If you're listening on radio, there's two young women.
One's got the nose rings and the green hair and the pink hair.
And they got the LGBTQIA2 plus whatever.
It's meant to shock you into like, hey, man, California's in real trouble.
I don't care what my personal politics are.
I got to save my state.
It's meant to do that.
Is Steve Hilton going to win?
It's a huge, huge long shot.
Am I telling you to show up and vote in California?
You're damn freaking right I am.
Because California's become an incubator.
An incubator for insanity for policies around the country.
Telling people not to vote.
That's freaking insane.
Speaking of insane.
By the way, thank you, Spidus McGroin,
the beginning for gifting Rumble premium subs to a whole bunch of people.
I saw that in the beginning.
That was awesome.
That's really nice.
Pay it forward, folks.
I really appreciate it.
You know, I can't go without.
There's a couple things I want to cover.
I got to show you this crazy video.
Did you see the video?
There's a reporter in Maine.
What happened to this reporter in Maine?
You know, let me play this first because this is an attention grabber for all the wrong reasons.
Folks, people have gotten, believe me, we've been on the receiving end of it.
There are some people out there who are getting crazy, like sociopathic about the current thing online.
And we've been on the receiving end of this.
It's been very dangerous for us.
But it's not just us.
Did you see what happened to this Maine reporter doing a live shot?
This guy pulls up.
And I don't know what the beef with the reporter is or not.
I don't care what the beef is.
You just don't do this.
Watch this video.
This is just crazy.
This was the viral video going around X yesterday.
Check this out.
I'm talking to somebody right now.
Hello.
How you doing, bud?
Not bad, dude.
You all right?
Yeah, you?
Doing good.
Yeah.
Kind of invading Aoife's privacy here.
Confidentiality.
You realize that?
I'm invading Aoife's privacy.
You're invading people's privacy?
Yeah.
By being in public with a camera and doing a report?
Yeah.
Videoing.
Cross the road.
Okay.
What's up, bud?
Come on.
What can I do for you?
Okay.
And we have another person.
Essentially, probably intoxicated.
There is no way to tell.
Um, but what I will say is, multiple people did get in cars.
They. Your patient just tried to run me over.
Are you trying to intimidate me?
And we have. Off the property right now.
And we have cameras.
Talk to the property right now.
No, I will.
I'm a patient, I believe.
Don't touch me.
I will. I'm not touching you.
If you touch me, you're going to get assaulted or something.
Is that what you want?
Do you want an assault charge?
Folks, there's just no excuse for me.
There's just no excuse for this.
There is absolutely no excuse to take whatever current thing you think is your current thing
and use it to motivate you to try to attack, physically intimidate, or kill someone.
Do we even need to say this?
Really?
Does this even need to be said?
Unfortunately, clearly, it does.
Clearly, it does.
Believe me.
We have been on the receiving end of this stuff from people who are psychotic about things.
I've never seen. I've never seen anything like this.
We've been through a lot of this before.
But I told you, one of these days, I'll be able to tell you the full story.
The problem is there's a lot of investigations going on right now.
This is not just coming out of nowhere.
The people telling you don't vote are as crazy as some of these people trying to mow this reporter down,
just trying to do a report live shot from outside this place right there.
It's freaking insane.
I started the show today by telling you that, listen, we've got to drop the L on the beast.
The president calls it the beast.
It's his car, whatever.
But on a very serious note, I change my mind in politics about things sometimes.
It's not often.
I mean, if you have a set of principles, you should have done your homework in advance.
But there are some things I think. Sometimes you just have someone explain something to you in a way,
or real-world circumstances get in the way.
And you learn. What do they say?
I mean, obviously, me, I'm not a liberal.
But they say about liberals, like,
what's a conservative, like a liberal who's been mugged, you know?
I gave a lot of people a lot of leeway.
I want to believe in folks.
And sometimes a lot of people let you down.
You know, you never do.
But I'm going to get to that in a good call, man.
I'm going to get to that in a second.
I want to explain to you something that happened to me
in relationship to the death penalty case in Tennessee.
Because I've had a change of heart on this,
and I promise it's not a bunch of emails.
It's just something I. Stay tuned.
It's really important.
I think you'll feel the same way.
Hey, recently, my wife and I were sitting at the kitchen table
over our finances, and in the future,
we both agreed that getting help to protect our family
had to be part of the conversation, too.

Here's what I'm talking about.
Are any of you familiar with this case in Tennessee?
This woman who has been sentenced to death forever.
Finally, they went to implement the death by lethal injection.
The lethal injection was not lethal.
She somehow survived it.
It was a bunch of doctors.
You know, I'll play the cut first.
This is the doctor on Fox.
I forget his name.
This is Mark Siegel.
That's right.
He was on Fox yesterday explaining how it may have been an issue.
I hate talking about veins.
It just freaks me out a little bit.
I told you, this thing with needles and stuff.
However, I've got to set it up before I tell you why I've had a pretty dramatic change of heart in the entire death penalty issue.
It started happening about a year ago.
Check this out.
This is the second failed execution in the state of Tennessee this year.
One occurred in May to Tony Carruthers where nobody could get an IV in him.
Blood was coming out of the vein.
Then a doctor came, because under Tennessee law, doctors don't do the IVs, and tried to put a central line in him and couldn't get it in.
Now we have this.
I'll tell you point blank that this occurred because they couldn't get the IV in properly, period.
And either they went through the vein because she said she was feeling a lot of pain in her arm.
They probably pierced the vein and went through it.
When we put an IV in someone, here's how we do it.
We put it in the vein and we draw back to see if there's blood.
That's how you do it.
I trained at Bellevue where we had to put IVs in drug users.
And then the nurses end up being the best people in the world at doing this.
But in Tennessee, there's a huge battle going on legally because physicians don't want to be involved.
Healthcare workers don't want to be involved.
They wonder if it has to do with their oath.
When the Carruthers case happened, there was a huge outcry.
The AMA, the American Medical Association, doesn't want doctors involved.
So they've kind of agreed doctors will oversee.
And only if you can't get the IV in, then they'll try to put a central line in.
I've never heard of a doctor.
I couldn't.
I couldn't put a central line in.
Now, maybe they're not drinking enough fluids.
I don't know what the background of this is, but I'm telling you, IV lines are easy to get in.
Well, listen, I'm not a doctor and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
But I've had some doctor friends of mine who will admit to you that they're actually not that easy to get in sometimes.
I know because I am not obviously a heroin or IV drug user.
I hope you understand.
But I've had a couple medical professionals going for like an NAD drip or something who've been like, hey, man, I don't know what this even means.
I'm not a doctor.
Someone in the chat can explain if you're a nurse, phlebotomist, doctor, whatever.
No, your veins roll.
It's actually not that easy to get in.
Folks, I've changed my mind on the death penalty.
I was not a supporter of the death penalty for a long time.
However, my experiences in law enforcement and some of my recent. being reminded again of the savagery and that evil is very real.
You run a very real risk.
If there were to be some attack on our grid or system, you can't have these people out there.
And I believe the moral clarity should be clear that once you've gone through the process and we are sure of your proof beyond a reasonable doubt, you're guilt.
And you've been given due process and you've done some of these things.
Murdering kids, murdering and raping women, you know, brutal homicide.
Serial killings.
You got to go.
And I think we should scrap this lethal injection thing.
I happen to agree with Fisher King, an account I enjoy reading the content on X.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but it's time to bring back the firing squad.
It is not cruel.
It's actually cruel to try and kill people by lethal injection.
It may look better.
The optics may be better.
It's not less cruel.
He says. States should ditch lethal injection and go back to hanging or firing squads.
Lethal injection was never about making execution less cruel.
It was simply easier to take for the executioners.
Yes, and spectators.
It looks like someone going to sleep and there's no blood.
It was hypocritical from the beginning, covering up the violence of the act.
He's correct.
I think firing squads are the. I see nothing wrong with that at this point.
I'm sorry.
I know it's not the cutesy time thing to save people.
They want to go to sleep peacefully and all that stuff.
No.
I've changed my mind on this completely.
You're some savage, freaking serial killer, raped and murdered a bunch of women and kids
and killed guys or whatever, dogs and pets and animals too.
You got to go and you got to go quick and that's the quickest way
and there's almost no room for error there.
All right, it is Friday.
So, you know, what's Friday, folks?
Tell me in the chat.
See, they'll show you the P1.
Power of the. The power of the P1.
It's like the power of Grayskull, what he meant.
How was that movie?
Was that any good?
I didn't watch it.
I'm not into like cartoon movies anymore, but. How was that?
Was that movie any good?
The power of the P1.
Yes, it's time for the Democrat Zen moment of the day.
Producer Jim puts it together.
I don't see it in advance.
So, language alert here.
Is there language in it?
I don't know.
There is?
Okay.
But there's typically screaming liberals in it, just like you saw in the Steve Hilton ad,
except they're actually voting for him in that case.
So, here is your Democrat peaceful moment.
Peaceful moment of the day on a Friday.
Obviously, that's a joke to go into the weekend with a smile on your face, which you know
I love.
Check this out.
Your Democrat Zen moment of the day.
A peaceful moment to center your mind.
Delete the fucking video.
Don't do that.
Don't do that, man.
You have a good day.
Can you give me my marker back?
Give me my marker back, please.
All right.
Follow me.
This has been Democrat Zen.
We'll see you next time.
It is?
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't know what's happening here.
It's not a joke.
Okay.
What is it?
You guys know what this is?
Wait, folks.
I know at 11, if you're here after 11, this is like the P1 hour, right?
I need Muttley's in the chat for this.
Have you guys seen this?
Okay.
Quick story.
There's this song, rap song, Hotel Lobby, and I'm on X and Reels and TikTok all day
looking for content, and there's this trend that's gone viral where people use AI to insert
them.
If you see it, you know what I'm talking about.
It's basically people singing this rap song because the dance these two rappers do is
kind of funny.
So I said to Paul.
Paul yesterday is a joke.
I said, you know what we should do?
Can you have Lucy use the AI to make Lucy the rapper and make my daughter's cat official
Snuggle Muffin?
It's not my name.
I didn't name the cat Snuggle Muffin.
Muttley's in the chat.
I didn't know she did it.
Play it again.
Play it again.
Let's get it.
You guys got to tell me what they're going to do.
Look at Snuggle Muffin.
I did not name the cat Snuggle Muffin.
It's not my cat.
Oh, my gosh.
Sorry, folks.
If you're, you know, 11 is the P1 hour.
It's the extra content for y'all.
This, you know what that is.
You know that's my dog.
Obviously, Lucy's not really rapping it.
Paula, that is epic, man.
That is really freaking funny.
No, Guy, you're the AI center.
Guy's messing with me because I always, I get suckered by these dog AI videos.
He goes, what do you mean?
I wasn't really being a smart ass.
Got me laughing so I almost forgot the comment of the day.
You would have had to, like, stop me.
Oh, folks, it's good to have you here.
Sometimes we go late.
Sometimes we don't.
You know, it just depends what I'm feeling for the day.
You know, once a week, because we love you in the chat, especially the P1,
we give away $1,776 to a lucky listener of you who joins us live in the chat starting at 10 a.m.
If you want to see the official rules, go to Bongino.com slash 1776.
And today's comment of the day is Coyote's man 19 voting Democrat.
This election cycle is like wearing masks and being told they will keep you from getting COVID.
You know what you're doing there, Coyote man.
This is definitely a P1.
You know what he's doing, right?
He wants me to do a whole other thing because you know how much I hate masks.
Masks are like the scarlet letter of our time, except it's not an A for adult or it's an I for idiot.
They're actually a good thing because you know to walk away from that person right away because they're going to infect you with the stupid prions or virus.
So thank you, Coyote's man.
Really?
Did he?
Coyote's man.
Really?
Really?
He's got some ringer.
comments. So good job. We will pick a winner shortly on that one. So we really appreciate it.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Dan Bongino warns of a coordinated political attack on the MAGA movement, accusing Democrats and left-wing groups of infiltrating the movement with disinformation and pushing narratives to suppress voter enthusiasm.
He describes an "extinction burst" in political strategy—where opponents fail to suppress MAGA momentum and instead escalate attacks, indicating a breakdown in their original messaging and tactics.
Bongino emphasizes that prominent Democrats like Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Bernie Sanders have openly advocated for open borders and expanded government welfare, signaling a long-term shift toward socialism and collectivism.
He highlights the dangers of cancel culture and platform censorship, warning that content creators—especially those with pro-traditional values—risk being silenced on platforms like YouTube if Democrats regain power.
Bongino stresses the importance of voter engagement, arguing that apathy and misinformation are being weaponized to undermine the MAGA movement’s future.
He cites economic and job market data to counter claims of economic decline, noting record-low unemployment and strong manufacturing growth under the current administration.
A key ideological point is that he has reversed his opposition to the death penalty, now advocating for firing squads over lethal injection due to their perceived cruelty and inaccuracy.
The show promotes a strong sense of political vigilance, urging listeners to actively participate in elections and to recognize that political subversion is not accidental but systematically organized.
Summary:
Dan Bongino delivers a passionate and urgent warning about the growing political threat to the MAGA movement, describing a coordinated infiltration by Democrats and left-wing actors who are actively spreading disinformation and pushing narratives to discourage voting. He frames this as an intentional "extinction burst"—a reaction to failed attempts to suppress MAGA enthusiasm—where attacks have intensified due to the failure of previous messaging. Bongino highlights that key Democratic leaders have openly endorsed policies like open borders and expanded government welfare, signaling a long-term ideological shift toward socialism.
He warns of severe consequences for free speech platforms, such as YouTube, which may ban or censor pro-traditional content after a Democratic takeover, citing recent restrictions on firearms-related content. Using economic data, including record-low unemployment and rising job participation, he counters claims of economic collapse, arguing that the nation is thriving under current leadership. He also shares a personal shift in belief, moving from opposition to advocating for firing squads over lethal injection due to concerns over the inhumanity and failure of current execution methods.
Ultimately, Bongino urges active voter participation, emphasizing that apathy and misinformation are tools of subversion. He calls on listeners to diversify their content presence across platforms like Rumble to avoid censorship and to recognize that political survival depends on electoral engagement. The message is clear: the fight for American liberty is ongoing, and failure to act now could lead to a systemic collapse of conservative values and institutions.
FAQs
Dan Bongino claims these messages are part of a coordinated effort to suppress MAGA enthusiasm and subvert the political movement by spreading misinformation and fear.
He uses the psychological term to describe a surge of aggressive, desperate actions by groups trying to stop the MAGA movement when their earlier efforts to suppress it have failed.
He claims Democrats aim to create a socialist, collectivist system with open borders, expanded government welfare, and increased inflation through modern monetary theory.
He believes that if Democrats regain power, they will target and remove content from platforms like YouTube, especially from conservative or free speech advocates.
He points to projected high costs — such as $355,000 per household over 10 years — from increased taxes, mortgage rates, and federal deficits under a socialist Democratic government.
Yes, he has changed his view. After learning about failed lethal injections and the dangers of the current method, he now supports returning to firing squads as a more effective and morally clear execution method.
