If You See It, Will It Change Your Mind? (Ep. 2582)

In this episode, Dan Bongino opens with personal reflections and major announcements, including the launch of his new radio shows, "Bongino Report PM" and "AM," which he frames as expanding his platform to reach more Americans. He pays tribute to Dolly Parton, calling her a rare, unspoiled celebrity, and notes Trump’s decision to lower flags in her honor, while also acknowledging tragic floods in Nepal/China and urging listeners to pray. The core of the show focuses on political strategy: Bongino argues that Democrats are "crashing out" because they failed to heed his warnings about embracing radical elements, and he uses the "if you see it, will it change your mind?" framework to claim that Democratic policies—like Medicare for All or abortion—are hidden because they would alienate voters if exposed. He cites the Lindsay Clancy case to illustrate how confronting harsh realities can shift perspectives, criticizing those who defend her. Bongino then highlights recent Trump administration achievements, such as reduced fentanyl deaths and ICE arrests, and rebukes Republican pessimism, urging activists to use these wins as campaign material. He warns of foreign-backed disinformation meant to depress GOP turnout, using deportation rumors as an example. With guest Mike Davis, he analyzes the Supreme Court’s ruling on election integrity, condemns Democratic reliance on noncitizen votes, and debunks DOJ independence, framing the midterms as a critical choice between Trump’s border and crime policies and a radical Democratic agenda that threatens constitutional rights. Throughout, Bongino emphasizes learning from opponents’ mistakes and staying grounded in reality.

All America, all the time, sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. I just saw someone in the chat say you're from Glendale. I thought, wow, that's amazing. Another Glendale. I'm from Glendale, Queens, not Glendale, California. However, welcome to the show anyway, you know, right before I got in the air this morning, a friend of mine reached out to me and listen, if you're an activist in the space, thank you guys. I appreciate it in the chat. We're good. If you're an activist in the space and you're going to go out and give a speech about politics, one of my friends was at a speech this morning. I'm not going to say who because it doesn't really matter. However, this person said to me, hey, man, they're not, the speaker is not doing the three bees. Here is my best advice to you if you're going to do any public speaking. Remember the three bees. Be brief, be good and be gone. I know it sounds crazy, but even the best speeches in the world can go on too long. The best thing that can happen is that someone can walk out of the room and go, gosh, I wish I had more. The worst thing that can happen is that somebody walks out of the room and says that thing went on too long. Worst thing, you can't, that's the worst thing possible because then they're going to tell when I first got into business, I think it was Mark Levin. I'm pretty sure Mark Levin told me this. Make sure you treat everybody good because everybody you treat bad tells 200 people what a jerk you are. They're going to tell 200 people what a terrible speech it was. I told you we had a big announcement about radio today, Bungino Report PM. We launched nationwide, three PM to six PM. By the way, we will get you a station finder. We're just signing a ton of contracts right now. It just launched. Just give us a few days. I saw a lot of people in the chat. Where can we find it? Where can I listen locally? We're going to get that to you. No sweat. Just give us some time. We just don't want to update it every single day, so we're going to give it a little bit of time. However, if there was a Bungino Report PM, why do you think we called it PM? Because there's also going to be a Bungino Report AM, AM PM. We're launching nationwide on a lot of stations. This is why we're waiting on the station finder and a lot from five AM to six AM. Damn, that's early in the morning. Well, listen, we want you to get the Bungino Report fixed in the morning and the run of Bungino Report. They'll fix in the afternoon, five AM to six AM. So if your new car headed to work in the morning early, you're going to be able to get it on hundreds of stations nationwide. The damn Bungino Show in the morning as well. You'll hear some of the podcasts, some of the other content we put out there. It's going to be amazing. The show is expanding. I know I really appreciate your support. It wouldn't be possible without you. Thank you to everyone out there in the Bungino Army. You guys are really great. I appreciate it. Let me get this. And here's what I'm going to get to right in the beginning of the show. I warned the Democrats. I was not trying to help them. I was trying to help the country. I warned the Democrats that creating a refuge for a bunch of Islamonatsis and a bunch of Kami Socialists that that was going to create a problem if you waited too long because once the concrete dries, it's hard to pull these things out. Now the Democrat crash out is happening. Should have taken my advice. I'm not trying to help the Democrats. I'm trying to help the country. They didn't listen. I'm going to get to this. And then Dali Parton yesterday, I came out of, no, I did not expect that. What a terrible loss for the country. What a genuinely great human being. Hey, let me tell you something. When you sign your insurance policy for some brokers, that's the finish line, handshake, commission, and you're done. Then you may not hear from them again until it's time for renewal.

All right. So folks, briefly, but importantly, this was president Trump's true social, we lost Dolly Parton yesterday. Listen, I did not know Dolly Parton. I never met her in my entire life. However, I know a lot of people at Foxx and elsewhere who did know her. I know a lot of people in the country, music scene, it's not some stupid flex. I'm just trying to make a point. They knew Dolly, Dolly Parton was legitimately a wonderful, nice human being. Dolly Parton's been famous as long as I've been alive. I was, I don't know if I was a kid, like a young kid when nine to five came out for the generation of people now who don't know Dolly Parton, that was one of the most popular comedy movies of all time. That song was every single place on planet earth, on radio and elsewhere, working nine to five. Dolly Parton was famous forever. If there was ever a person who after decades of fame became corrupted by it and would have been an a hold of people, it would have been her. She wasn't. She was an amazing person. President Trump said very sad to report Dolly Parton, one of the greatest country singers. And far beyond ever has just passed away, a true loss for millions of people. There's never been anyone like her and never will. He's lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period, beginning yesterday. Rest in peace, Dolly, amen and indeed, what a wonderful human being is going to be sorely missed. Thank you for a life well-lived Dolly Parton, Rest in Peace. Also folks, a little bit of tragic news as well. If you would mind, take a moment in your life, I thoroughly believe in the power of prayer. God is listening to us. The Nepal, China border, if you didn't see this just horrific video, there were floods and mudslides, hundreds of people dead on the count of four. This is some video. I did a triple double AI check as far as we can tell. We've done all our homework. This appears to be real video if you're missing this out on Apple or Spotify, if you're missing it, please, you know, check it out on the video show here rumble.com/bongino. But this is not, this is really bad. This is, you do not want to be involved in something like this with it. Look at this. Just, yeah, you see that mud and water and all that coming down. I mean, these people had no chance. So I'm sorry to start the show with a bunch of bad news today, but we do live, you know, in the real world. It's not utopia. So say a prayer for them, God's listening. So getting back to what I warned you about, folks, the Democrats as I told you and it didn't take a lot of time, they are now freaking out, they're in full panic mode. Why are we covering the Democrats? Here's why. This is super important. You may say, Dan, we vote Republican. Who cares what they're doing? No, no, that is a big mistake. Jonah Goldberg wrote a piece a long time ago, regardless of your feelings about Jonah, you know, some, like him, some donut, but he wrote, I believe it was him an interesting piece. I think it was in town hall and it was about the penalties that will be enacted upon our party if we don't try to understand what the other side is thinking. I say that because the Democrats make no effort to ever understand what Maggie is about, why black and Hispanic and union voters are moving over to President Trump and have moved over in elections. So they get blindsided by it every time. I'm begging you is a friend and an activist in the movement myself. I was a candidate, please, please, please, do not repeat this mistake. The gist of the Peace Goldberg wrote, which I find fascinating, is that when Democrats and Republicans share a consensus on an issue, in other words, like smoking. Smoking's bad for your lungs can cause cancer, it's scientific fact, okay? That smoking decreased in America because whether you were a Democrat or a Republican didn't matter. Like if you saw your mom or your grandmother smoking, you know, you were a, you were a 20-year-old or even a 15-year-old being like, hey, mom, that's, you know, I just heard that's going to cause cancer. I know because my mom's smoked at rest or so and I had to have this conversation with her. If you wouldn't talk in partisan terms and they didn't ignore it, someone you loved close to you would talk to you about an issue and smoking rates declined rapidly. He compares it to the Democrats' war on our right to self-protection and the Second Amendment. How the Democrats don't make any attempt to try to understand why Americans concern for their family safety and their own would be interesting in owning, carrying or having in the home of fire. They may know all the, every time there's a school shooting out there and you own a gun and you're, you're, you're just an innocent person trying to protect your family. You're a murderer. You took part in it too. Look at you, savage animals. And therefore they keep losing on the issue, smoking, everybody won because everybody talked to each other like human beings. Democrats iced themselves out on the Second Amendment, chose to call us murderers. What happened? They're constantly surprised that more states are moving in the constitutional carry direction. Do not repeat this mistake. Don't do it. Do not repeat this mistake either in our party and we're not. We've been cleaning it up well. Where you let cancerous ideologies, dumerism, hatred, identity politics, you cannot let that get a foothold because once that concrete dries, ladies and gentlemen, it is you need a pile driver and a sledgehammer to crack that thing up. I've seen it. I've been in this fight for 15 years, man. If you've been in it longer, I haven't been in it the longest, but I've been in it a long time well over a decade. I've seen this stuff. before you got to squash it. We believe in liberty, freedom, economic growth, school choice, pro-life, the second amendment. We do not get into identity politics crap. We don't get into collective guilt, crap, victim ideology, dumerism. That's not our thing. The Democrats waited too long and now they are crashing out everywhere. First video of the day. Here's Hawkeem Jeffries on CNN. He's asked a simple question by Wolf Blitzer. Wolf Blitzer is not a Republican, he's not a MAGA guy, he's not a Trump guy, obviously. Pretty fair, correct? He's just asked a simple question like, "Hey man, does your big tent include people who are just insane, spouting crazy ideas, a son-piker, and elsewhere they go, you guys gonna take a stand?" Jeffries just loses it, loses it by CNN standards, because he knows they screwed up and waited too long. They let the concrete dry and there's no sledgehammer, it's going to break this thing up. Check this out. No Sin, that people should be targeted because of their religious beliefs or ethnicity or race, whatever the case may be, that's fundamentally inconsistent with who we are in this country. Yes, the Hassan-Pikers' clout among Democrats though, particularly some younger Democratic voters, seems to be growing. We saw for example this prominence in the Michigan Senate Democratic primary. So why not call them out by name in your statement, if you feel so passionately about this issue? I've just addressed Hassan-Pikers' comments as it relates to the Jewish community as forcefully as I can and I will continue to do that. Yes, but in your original statement he was not addressed by name, that's why I was raising the question. They don't know what to do, they let the concrete dry, don't ever let this happen to your movement. Learn from them like they never learned from us. They don't want to learn who you are. The Democrats' socialists are interested in doing one thing from you and it's not learning from you. They're interested in imprisoning you, stealing your money, stealing away agency over your own life, education, healthcare. That's all they're interested in. They are not in any way interested in learning from you, learn from them. You want to collapse a movement and have uncomfortable media moments like this, where even your own people, wolf blitzers at Democrats, let's just be honest, okay. He's an activist, he's our media people, where your own people are calling you out, clean up your movement from the start, do not let that concrete dry, ladies and gentlemen. It is a disaster. Now, I told you yesterday, I want to put this up there with kind of damn bunch, you know, show axiomatic truths. You know, we have all these things that, you know, don't get dead. We kind of joke around. Any policy that helps you get dead quicker is a bad thing, you should fight against it. But we also try to describe politics in simple kind of poignant terms so that we're not writing white papers about things and people who don't have, you know, time to sit there and study, you know, 80 hours a week of white papers, they work for a living. We try to make politics simple. One of the things I've always told you about politics is if you can't sum up what you're thinking in a sound bite or a snapshot, a photo or a quick sound bite, you're probably not going to get public opinion to change because not everybody has time. People work for a living building this country. They're not going to read your white paper on your specific idea about a fair tax. They've got to work for a living. Put it up on a Wheaties box, put the Wheaties box at the table, eat your Wheaties, there you go. It's also called an elevator speech. If you had the CEO of a company, you're trying to pitch on a product and you had him for one floor. He gets on and seven is getting off on eight and you got ten seconds. What are you going to tell him? You've got to sum things up quickly. I want to add this rule here to our political rules of engagement. The critical question, the Democrats and some Republicans need to ask themselves, is if you see it, will it change your mind? I brought this up yesterday. I got a lot of great feedback on it and I want you to think of it very simply in terms of the pro-life advocates that go out on college campuses and elsewhere and just again show what an abortion looks like. When people see it, they freak out. That's why the Democrats, they violently attack these people, they shoot double leg takedowns on them. They're ripping up there. Are you ripping up this side? If you have no problem with abortion, you should be like, yeah, that's no big deal. A torn up baby. No big deal. If you see it, will it change your mind? The answer is, if you see the results of an abortion, you will likely change your mind. That's why Democrats hate it. It's a great job by Carolyn Downey. She goes on CNN and she's on their last night talking about exactly this, how Hachim Jeffries and others, all they want to do is hide what the real Democrat agenda is. I've got Mike Davis today as a guest, one of my favorite guests, Article 3 project coming up later. We're going to dig into this, how the Democrat agenda, they want to hide it. They don't, they'll quietly talk about it amongst themselves and it leaks out on Twitter. And then when they go on CNN with Blitzer, they run away from this stuff because they know if people see it, it will change their mind. Pack into Supreme Court, confiscatory taxes, sending your kid to crappy public schools with no school choice, stealing your healthcare plan and putting you on government healthcare, they know if you see it. It will change your mind. Here's Caroline Downey and CNN and I'm like, well, I don't understand why they hide this, why don't they just tell you the answer is because if you see it, it'll change your mind. Check this out. Be better off. Just simply attacking him, if you're going to attack him, on the policies, on the economic and compatibility of what he's putting on the table with what people in Michigan want, rather than saying, oh, he's going to change our culture. What does that even mean? Well, two points, that network has more independent viewers than you think and those clips are going to circulate on social media. And it was quite clarifying, I think, to, it will be, to a lot of people that he could not give simple answers to questions about the culture war. He conflated circumcision with sex changes for children. So now it's good to know that he's on the 20% of an 80-20 issue, nationally. But if you want to talk economics, fine, let's talk economics, which that network has talked about extensively as well. His biggest economic goal is Medicare for all, also known as single-payer healthcare, also known as nationalizing healthcare. He doesn't want to talk about El Sayed about how that would require taxing the middle class. That seems to defeat the whole championing of the working class mantra, don't you think? He doesn't talk about how that would kick off many millions of Americans off their private or employer-sponsored healthcare. And the majority of Americans polling says, like their healthcare. So why doesn't he want to address that? He wasn't asked about it. Jesse Waters just asked him the other day, this Medicare for all plan. If you want to go into like cost, you want to talk about it or they don't want to talk about it. Why don't they want to talk about it? I'm going to say for the 10th time during the show, because if you see it, it'll change your mind. How many people out there in the chat? I'm just curious. How many people out there in the chat work for a union that during the bargaining process got you a really good healthcare plan, but you probably had a forefit. And maybe you were on a 5% raise and you settled for two or three in exchange for a really solid healthcare plan. How many people, again, like I'm a Republican, I'm not an anti-union guy. My brother's in a union. My father was in a union growing up, but I'm not an anti-union guy at all. I don't want you to be forced to be in a union, but I'm not anti-union at all. I think, you know, workers should be able to bargain for their rights. Oh, good. Okay. A lot. My husband and a bunch of people, yes, me, me. You bargain for this. Do you understand? Do you? I know you in the chat get it, but if you're listening, you're hearing us on the radio for the first time, you're listening on Apple Spotify, Rumble, wherever you pick up the show. And you're like, who's this damn bond? You don't guy. I'm telling you maybe for the first time that if the Democrats plan, Al Sayad, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren and others, if the Democrats plan is enacted and they bust up the filibuster and have a majority, they will enact this Medicare for all plan, which will cancel your private insurance. Just read Bernie Sanders bill, put it in AI like we did yesterday. Will my private insurance plan be canceled? Yes. That's why Caroline Downey accurately said, like, why isn't he talking about this? Because he knows if he tells you what he stands for, that you're going to electrically give him the Heisman. And I don't mean to trophy. That's why we don't have this problem. I'm going to put out, well, before we get Mike Davis screaming on it, I'm going to put out just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5 or 6 things that just happened this week in the Trump administration. That actually happened. In other words, they're in the past. They're in the now and the past. We don't have to talk about the future just enough. Just happened in this past week alone. We don't have to run from them. We're not hiding. We want you to see it. Because we want to change your mind. Not because we don't want you to see it, so you don't change your mind. That's the Democrats approach. I'm going to talk about something next that, listen, I know is going to cause a bit of a revolt out there, not amongst the Bungina worry, but. I have not addressed this. I was waiting for a moment that would make more sense in terms of the larger picture where we are as the country. Want to do a quick segment on this Lindsey Clancy case and how the rules of if you see it will it change your mind, apply to the psychology of some of the people defending this woman. It involves a Spencer Pratt video, Spencer Pratt, yes, stay tuned because it'll make perfect sense when you see these things like I did as a street cop and a federal agent. When you see bodies in the street, forgive the language, but people's brains blown out in bodegas and you see it, you will never ever be a BLM defund the police or again. Quick break. I'm going to show you what I mean. And listen, I'm just telling you upfront, you need to hear this because this is a symptom of this just infection taken over the country right now where people just NPCs just fall for like the current thing. We're not having it. We're not doing it on this show. Quick break. You'll see what I mean. Hey, for a long time now, I've been telling you about Berna because I believe in effective self-defense, sometimes that doesn't require lethal force. They sent me one Berna B Y R N A. I have a couple of them actually. I use it. I trust it. Many Berna owners are listening right now. It's time to upgrade Berna just rolled out a new offer. I think you're love.

I want to show you a tragic example of, I mean, to call it tragic seems like an understatement. The Lindsay Clancy case about the murder of these children, Lindsay Clancy, the husband came home and found it is just to listen to the story is horrific. However, you see a group of people out there who have not, again, not you, but a group of people there who have seemingly divorced their concerns for the kids in terms of making the woman Lindsay Clancy out in this case, who killed these three kids, making her out to be the victim. It's a stunning, stunning turn of events and I'm just, even by my, I mean, I'm generally my skin is thick to this stuff. I've been around crime disorder and law enforcement my whole life. I've seen the worst of the worst. I mean, the briefings we get in the FBI about, you know, cases involving kids and everything, but just horrendous. They were just, they were, they were hard to take. I mean, sometimes it pollutes your brain and you got to go in there and almost, you just have to like learn to digest all this stuff and not let it destroy your brain. Spencer Pratt did a video about this yesterday. It's an amazing video. I encourage you to watch the whole thing, but this is about a minute, minute 20 of it, where when you hear the details of this case, does it change your mind? Because I can tell you right now, a lot of people defending this woman, if you see it, you should change your mind. Here he is, introducing you to the faxist case and I encourage you to listen to the whole thing, check this out. The internet was a mistake. We have officially broken bad. Recently, a married mother of three young children was grappling with post-partum psychosis, not just depression, but psychosis. She was committed to a psych ward for a brief stay, but she lied her way out of it and made her way back home. When her husband left the house to go get food, she took her three young babies into the basement, lined them up, and one by one wrapped an exercise band around their neck and strangled them to death. Now, strangulation is very difficult, even with a toddler. It takes a lot of force and a lot of time. It's a very intimate way to kill somebody, which is probably why she turned the kids face down as she did it. She didn't have to watch the life drain out of their panic eyes as she choked them out. It takes about three to five minutes to choke a toddler to death, so the third child had to stand there and watch their siblings die for about ten minutes before it was their turn. After Mama had finished killing all of her kids, she promptly went upstairs, slashed her own wrist, jumped out the second floor window to offer self. Well, the snow outside cushioned her fall, the cold slowed her vitals, so she merely fractured her spine, paralyzing her, but she ultimately survived. Yeah, I'm reading you guys in the chat. I'm sorry to have to play that for you, too. But we're grown adults, managing, living in, and citizens of the greatest country on earth, and these things do happen, these tragedies do occur. It's an unimaginable tragedy. I'm getting goose bumps here talking about this because I just, I think all of us with children, you and the chat included. Not see this to a different lens. If you don't have children, you can certainly process the tragedy here, but we have children. It's just different. You hear about these things. And the first thing you think of is your kids. You get to, you know, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Pulse. Like you just can't imagine what kind of evil would take to do that to your own kid, to any kid. Or your own, your own, your own children. I, first I just want to thank Spencer Pratt again for not just losing and disability. Hey, man, I ran for office. Didn't work out. I didn't disappear. I was like, well, what's next? How do we fix the country? Maybe being a politician wasn't in. Maybe talking about it. Well, I don't know. Maybe going back and serving any FBI. I'm always looking at new things. I really applaud him for not running away from the political scene and losing his massive microphone and megaphone, which he earned with a great campaign for L.A. Mayor to highlight how he's, you know, the, the internet is making people warping people's minds. Folks, when you hear that, does it change your mind? I saw this clip yesterday that I don't know what viral or I use a different viral nuclear like his nuclear buffer. I don't even matter. But this was all over X and TikTok and elsewhere yesterday. There was a woman on this news channel debating this guy about this Lindsey Clancy case. And I just want you to see what happens again when you see and hear what happened like that. And people describe what happened. This is typically the reaction you get from people. And this is why I'm encouraging you, whether it's this case, any other case or any issue, you have to ask yourself a question. Am I on the right side of this? If I see it and I need to have a meltdown, am I on the right side of it supporting the it I see that caused the meltdown. If you haven't seen this clip, this is what happens when you're confronted with an awful reality. You support. Check this out. These are man hating women that are standing outside. This is what it's about. They think the husband did it. They're crazy. They've lost their mind. They're waving for murder. Do you know why the woman is in a wheelchair? Did you even notice that she's a killer? She couldn't kill her. She's a murderer. Did she jump out the window after this? So she should have pushed her. They say the Lindsay was in psychosis. I think these women are suffering some from psychosis. They've been watching too many true crime, Netflix dramas. You know, this was a incredibly privileged woman, incredibly wealthy. She had a nanny and she's still complaining that she needed help. She could not have got more help from the system that she already had received. This is a murder who strangled her children one by one. One of the boys ran away and she chased him down and killed him. What can you say? What you just said was absolutely disgusting. Thank you. You should be ashamed of yourself and you can hear that he's not, okay? It's true. You clearly don't care. So pipe down. I don't care. And by the way, men watching this, if you have a woman standing next to you on the sofa who is defending this murderer, you've got to think deeply about this. No, I'm defending. So they have some empathy. We've got to talk to your women and find out for instance. What are they thinking? They're defending this woman. I don't think anybody's defending what she did. But you can have empathy for what she went through and how she, I know many women that this has happened to. No, they did not kill their children, but they also, what you failed to make sure. Well, they should become men. Because they do. I've had it with you. Oh, my god. And you're speaking men. They're going to kill their children. These are, she's a murderer. I can't. I'm sorry. I'm done. Notice how she states the obvious and doesn't realize she stated the obvious against her own case. Yes, all he did was describe what happened in this murder. That's all. Yet it is disgusting. Folks, again, I'm going to do you a favor like I tried to do the Democrats a favor to rescue the country from Islamophonatics and and communists, I'm gonna do you a favor right now before you let the concrete settle. If you are dating, thinking about dating, what are those dating websites that you swipe on or stuff if you're in any of those? And they have a sign in there or a photo, I support Lindsay, I love Lindsay, donate to Lindsay, or ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell you even if it is your spouse. Think and deliberate long and hard about where you are right now. Folks listen, I've talked about this before on the air and I'm not shy about it. It's not some victim thing or boo-hoo thing. Depression is, it runs in my family. It's a long story, I'll say for another time. Generationally, and I'm not talking about depression like upset, I'm talking about major depressive disorder, like a DSM diagnosis disorder. The difference between depression and just being upset about something is depression, this black cloud that follows you everywhere is typically divorced from any real world event. You know, you lose a job, people feel bad. That's not DSM diagnosable depression. It can turn into it, an environmental stressor can trigger it, but you're just depressed and feel bad all the time, regardless. You could have just gotten a promotion to work the greatest job of your life and you're still depressed. For those of you suffered through this and have that gene or combination of gene environmental stressors, it's a horrible thing. It is not an excuse to go out and murder people. There's no scenario by which that's acceptable. None, word of caution. Whatever it is, the swipe left the right, I don't know how the hell that would swipe past. Any sign, I support, no, no, no. That is a, you want to talk about a red flag. That's not even like a red, that's like a black flag. No, that's the disgusting, what you just said. He just described what happened. Yes, it's disgusting, I barely agree with him. Folks, there's a larger picture. I've been painting for you during the show. Again, back to some of my critical questions. You need to ask friends and neighbors going forward. And why does it change your mind? Why are you bothered by signs that show it and abortion looks like? Why are you bothered? A lot of red flags in the chat now. Why are you bothered by losing your healthcare plan? If you support Democrats who want to take your help in, well, if you see it, will it change your mind? Does, as we asked yesterday, does the policy, the politics, the party you're supporting, do they survive first contact with reality? The answer for the modern Democrat party is no, they do not. First contact with reality always ends poorly for the Democrats. We don't need to do that. We don't need to hide quite the opposite for this new Maga-led Republican party. This is just things that happened this week. We're showing it to you. We're not hiding. We're like, here it is. Why? Because we're proud of it. We're not embarrassed like this lady. That was disgusting. Why? He just said what happened. We're not embarrassed by it. Here's what happened just this week. The White House messaging President Trump's White House. They're messaging on why you should vote for Republicans over Democrats. I always told you Republicans are not the solution to all your problems. The problem is Democrats are the cause of all your problems. That's why they hide it. The White House messaging is clear. I'm getting exhausted by Republicans leaking to liberal outlets unanimously, not leaking, but just speaking, just put your name on it. They don't want to do it because they don't want to get left out. We got no message for the midterms. No, you have no message for the midterms. The White House is trying to help you. Put up their posts on X, the White House, at White House. It's a verified account, crushing drug cartels, securing our borders, arresting drug traffickers. These all result in a safer country. The Trump administration has piloted a historic decrease in fentanyl deaths saving American lives. This is another one I made that message easy for you. Thank you. 22% drop in fentanyl deaths. Total drug overdose deaths. I know you get tumors, nobody cares. Parents care that don't want their kids to die because they took what they thought was exanics to turn out to be fentanyl and they didn't have a narcan around. They'll tell me people don't care. You don't care because you're a doomer. You know what, throw up that AF post one. I know I was going to put it up a little later, but here's another one. Notice no one in the Republican party who knows what they're talking about, including the White House is running from this at all. We're advertising it here it is. We're not trying to hide it, sweep it under the rug. At AF post, Trump has effectively decimated the drug trade, massively reducing drug overdose deaths, chiefly reducing fentanyl overdoses by 54% from its peak, prior to his inauguration, prior to Trump's inauguration, overdoses seem poised to continue rising. Ladies and gentlemen, this alone would be a campaign platform I would run on. If I was in a high crime area and a Republican party that had some high crime area in my district, I would put this on every bumper sticker. I support President Trump's destruction of the drug trade. Hey, that's right here. He's giving you a message. What are you whining about? We're showing it. We're not hiding anything. You are hiding it because you're just intellectually lazy and I hate this Republican on Republican crap. And by the way, I'm doing my best now to clean a lot of this stuff up and just get a unified party going forward. A lot of time I agree with you's being wasted on all this stuff. I've got a real fight with the socialist nutbags. You got kids, the real, I mean, kids, real kids, not cabbage patch dolls. They go out there, they think they're taking a percussette, they got on some social media platform, they take a fentanyl, the kids dead. I promise you, like, people care. The Trump administration did things about this. You have any idea how many meetings we had at the FBI with our leadership team in China and elsewhere about getting some of these precursor drugs listed so we could interdict them more easily? This was a President Trump administration thing. I know you don't wanna give 'em credit for anything. I don't care. I was there, it happened. Here's another one at a list of things that happened just this week at Christian Heinzos. It's just a series of generational wins after another. Generation was, but here's the thing. This was just this week. Nothing's happening. Trump confirms ice proceedings against Ilhan Omar over alleged fraud. The Supreme Court allows Trump's mail-in ballot restrictions to go forward. The Trump admin to revoke the visas of up to 200,000 asylum seekers. Ninth Circuit says district courts camp block ice operations over past harms. Ice arrested 1,328 illegals of Virginia and Maryland and just 14 days, I don't know what was happening. I don't know what was happening. (laughs) You look for what's happening. I mean, it's kind of your job to look, right? Not you in the listening audience. If you're a politician running for office under our Republican brand, our umbrella, you're not running under your own brand, Joey Bagadona's party. The Wigs, you're running under the Republican brand. Oh, I don't know what's happening. It's your job to know what's happening. It's your freaking job. Your job is to know what's happening. Are you, I mean, seriously, like, are you, I'm not trying to be a jerk. Are you stupid? Do you not go into office every day and say, "Hey, man, I'm running for re-election. Maybe I should look at some things our party did. You're running with the party, man." Here's another one. All the doomerism over the straight. Again, I can't believe it. Hasn't a trial, there's no plan, ever. Has everything gone swimmingly and he ran? No, war is unpredictable. President Trump on true social. You notice anytime good news comes out, they all ignore it? I've been informed by the US Navy that all minds have been removed or detonated from the international waters in the strait. Iran's been notified any ship or boat placing new minds will be immediately and systematically destroyed. Space force watching every inch of the strait, watching pickaxe mountain as well. They already destroyed three other nuclear sites. There's zero tolerance policy on mind placement and full force and effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump, I am not mad at you from covering things when they don't go bad or at all. Why would I be? It's good to cover reality in the real world and keep everybody fresh and frosty. That's a good thing. But are we gonna cover some of the good news, too? There's a website, put this up, the expose. Tanker tracker, that tracks tanker, tankertrackers.com. They have a Twitter account, too. @tankertrackers, plural. They know to busy day in a Gulf of Oman, where there are at least 15 sets of STS transfers taking place. We count 25 million barrels of crude oil, plus some refined products. The oil originates from most every country in the region, minus Iran. The Gulf of Oman and the strait inside there. This is, I mean, are we interested in a good news or a Republican's gonna continue to run for office? We got some handy. photos for you. Uh, we got nothing to talk about. We got no man. No, you have nothing to talk about because you're not doing your homework. By the way, how many people be honest? I'm asking you, this may, may not, I'm sorry, but I'm asking you all to be honest. How many people fell for the, we're not deporting anyone anymore? The, the, the Trump administration's not interested in mass deportation. How many people fell for that? It's okay. It's hard on, I told you, there's a lot of foreign money going into dissuading you from voting in the midterms. And I saw the op a couple of weeks ago, come on, tell me not who said that bourbon taste offs, not me good, not me either because I applied to Bonsino rule. I said, well, I'm just going to wait for the numbers to come out about deportations because I'm not interested in some random anonymous account, probably started in Pakistan or somewhere else or Lebanon that says, don't show up and vote. Donald Trump's not deporting people. Does that sound same? Look at this guy. Nice. Justin's like, this is the associated press. Big fans of Donald Trump. Of course, you sense the dripping sarcasm from my fangs. The associated press hates Donald Trump. You think they want to give him a victory? Here's a headline. If you just waited, you would see that quote. Look at the date, by the way, Dan, this is from last year or something. No, it's August 25th, 2026. I think that was yesterday. I caress jumped to nearly 50,000 in July, the highest monthly total of Trump's second term. Folks, I saw it. This happened to us. I'm just trying to help you I promise. I promise you I'm on every shred of integrity in my sometimes broken soul here. I warned you when I came out six months ago that there is a very organized sophisticated effort to get you to believe things that aren't true so that you'll get upset about the Trump administration and there's two reasons. They want you to lose in the midterm so they can say, see, we told you so, Trump sucks. And then their 2028 candidate who's going to be completely antithetical to any Republican values at all is going to come out and go, you see what happens? Those four years under President Trump were trash. They're waiting for him to exit the political scene so they can do nothing but relentlessly attack them. They're already turning on Vice President Vance now. Follow my ex-feed this morning. Everything I told you was going to happen is happening. That was an op. It was an op. President Trump and Stephen Miller don't care about deportations. Are you insane? Stephen Miller. Not only are deportations, ice arrests, through the roof, they're hitting records. Again, I'm really sorry if you fell for it. I tried to help you. I'm not mad at you. It's hard. You go on ex-olding, you know, sometimes you just don't know. But if something sounds crazy, and by the way, I'm not telling you every piece of negative information about the administration or how it's fake. That's how I'm saying at all. So don't put words in my mouth. I'm simply telling you something sounds crazy. You know, Tom Holman, Steve Miller, they're not interested in deportations anymore. President Trump, if that sounds crazy, correct, then it probably is. I saw this. Embodied Jesus, the deep state. Yeah, yeah, correct. It got me there, guys. Do you know how dumb that sounds? The show continues to expand. I think you see, nobody bought that. It's just stupid. You just have to wait. Again, folks, we don't have to hide from our record. One thing I'm proud of as a conservative, as a supporter of the administration and the incredible landmarks we've reached after just a year and a half is we don't have to hide this stuff at all. We don't have to hide it. We want you to see it because we know it will change your mind in our direction. The Democrats have taken the exact opposite approach. Run on peace, love, and happiness. You know, I've been watching, I don't want to get off track here, but any of you guys watch documentaries out there. I'm sure a lot of you do, but I'm obsessed with documentary. I don't know. I'm not trying to be like a wonky, you know, I just am. I don't like the waste time. You know, time is your most valuable asset. And if you could learn a little something, everything, I'm fascinated by human psychology. So I'm looking around the stream analysis the other day. And I see this, this the three-part episode on Charlie Manson. You remember that the murders, the Charlie Manson murders, some of you are younger, you probably heard of the name, but you don't know the details of it. It is one of the most fascinating documentaries I've ever seen because I'm really obsessed with how this guy, this guy, Charlie Manson, an insane sociopath was able to convince like high school cheerleaders who had left to become part of the Manson family to go out and commit the most personal type of murder possible. And I mean at a qualitatively evil way. Not just to shoot people, but to take a buck knife and stab them hundreds of times. Do you know how evil you have to be to do that? To take a buck knife and over and over. Do you have any idea the type of demons that have to possess your soul? So I clicked on, I'm almost done. I got like 20 minutes left in episode three. And something hit me last night watching this episode. Again, I'm like eyes or I'm fascinated by how he did this. The ranch they were at that he took all these young females and a couple of guys by the way and kept them there and started talking about the race war and the Beatles white album and the pigs and how you were going to be imprisoned by black America and a race war. The reason these young ladies bought it so much to the point, they went out and murdered innocent people violently, not that murder is any but violently murdered innocent people. One of the key reasons that keeps coming up in the show was isolated them. You see how when you recommend policies like communism that led to the extermination of not just a few innocent people but hundreds of millions, how you can get people who are cheerleaders or anything else to believe in sane ideas, you just isolate them from the truth. You keep them in little pockets no different than the ranch Charlie Manson kept this people on. It may not be a physical ranch but it's an intellectual one. To gaslight people you have to lie like Charlie did. Charlie was a con man, Charlie Manson. You have to lie often, oh he lied often every day. You have to lie confidently. You hear these people who were Manson family members, these ladies in the documentary saying he was so convincing but the one part that continues to come up the fourth component of gaslighting is he isolated them from their families and everyone else so they can never see the truth. It is no different than the Democrats isolating you from the truth now. They don't want you to see what they're going to do because they want to keep you on that intellectual ranch where you can never see the devastation that's about to happen. I forget what it's called, it's like the untold Charlie Manson. I should know but it just kind of popped into my head. Just listen for that part all the time. It comes up throughout every hour of this three part series. How when you isolate people from the truth and they never see reality, ladies and gentlemen, you can get them to believe and do almost anything. Almost anything. And then you see them get back to reality. These women and they're almost completely normal as if they hadn't taken part in a conspiracy to murder. It is some people with buck knives. The eye opening was incredible. Folks, we don't need to hide from our ideas and hide from people. It's the left that's constantly let anyone see that by the way. Good analogy, Dan with Charlie Manson. Lin and Jeff, we love Lin and Jeff. I feel like you're part of my family. I never met Lin or Jeff but I feel like I know you guys are right. It is a good analogy because it's true. We don't have to isolate people from anything. We talk openly about just what happened this week because we don't need to isolate you from reality because I don't want you to do bad things like a out and commit ideological murder out there and recommend things that are going to get people killed. I want you to do what's best for you and your family. That's why we always say on the show, by the way, this is Edutayman, Educational Entertainment, Hatit BDB. We always say, do your own homework. Don't believe anyone. Don't the fact check us on the show. If we're wrong, send us over the data. That's why we put clips like this out there that are not from yesterday, not from a decade ago, but from a year ago because they're still instructive today. You've got a group of people running as socialists isolating you from the truth, telling you that the key to prosperity in the future is the government taking control of the entire economy, taking your money, taking your kids, taking your health care, and taking your schooling. They're saying that they hate free enterprise. They hate free markets. They hate the fact that you can own a home by yourself and the government isn't involved. Milton Friedman's been explaining this to years for people. This is one of the best one-minute, 22nd clips you're ever going to see. If you haven't seen it, Hat tip robbed tonight or I'd actually had this out in his ex account this morning. That's why I saw it. We played this before in the show. But this young kid again has been isolated from the truth, gets up and asks for him in a question. Well, there's poor people out there. So clearly free enterprises fail. That's if there were never poor people before they were free enterprise either. Governments don't fail. People in government fail. That's why we want to restrict people's power over our lives because people will always let you down unless you contain their power to ruin your life too. You want an argument for free enterprise? Even the poorest people have never been wealthier than on the refri enterprise system. Check this out. My question is, is regarding how free are the poor, how free are the unemployed, and how free are those people who are disadvantaged, and so in reference to that? What is government's role? First of all, I'm glad to see one vote for the poor. First of all, the government doesn't have any responsibility. People have responsibility. This building doesn't have responsibility. You and I have responsibility. Second, the question is, how can we as people exercise our responsibility to our fellow man most effectively? That's the problem. So far as poverty is concerned, there is never in history been a more effective machine for eliminating poverty than the free enterprise system in the free market. The period in which you had the greatest improvement in the lot of the ordinary man was a period of the 19th and early 20th century. Those of us in this room are the heirs of that. We benefited from the way in which our parents and our grandparents were able to come here. And by virtue of the freedom that was offered to them, we're able to make a better life for themselves in them and us. But next, if you look at the real problems of poverty and denial of freedom to people in this country, almost every single one of them is a result of government action. And would be eliminated if you eliminated the bad government figures. Let me be precise and specific. Why do we have so high unemployment rate among black teenagers to disgrace in a scandal? Why do we have so high unemployment rate? First of all, because we give them lousy schooling through governmental schools, which make them unqualified to hold decent jobs. And second of all, we require employers to discriminate against them by not hiring them unless they have, unless their productivity is enough to justify a minimum wage. You see how when you exist in this college environment, folks, this video is decades old. Decades. It looks like it's from the '60s or '70s. It doesn't matter. It's decades old. The point of this is young college impressionable kids who have been isolated from the truth on a college campus teaching cult-like ideas like communism is wonderful, who never see the real world, whose ideas never face first contact, because they're not in contact with the real world. They're in contact with the college world. You go to the college, mess hall. You eat your food. Your professor tells you communism's wonderful. You got a beautiful new gym facility. You don't actually have to do any work other than school work. No one's asking you to clean the toilet balls. Then you go out in the real world with first contact, and you're like, oh my gosh. Wow, all of a sudden these communes, they don't look so great. We don't have that problem. All you have to do is ask yourself, how is it that one of the poorest states in the union? Mississippi is one of the poorest states in here. And I use that term relative to speak, 'cause Mississippi's, they're school choice programs amazing. I'm not knocking them. It's just, they've had some hurdles through the years. One of the poorest states in the union, the average citizen there's average usable income every year, is greater than like the average Western European who all these people want to be. That's the poorest state in the union. I always kind of laugh mockingly about that poll. They asked a bunch of, you know, UK citizens. Where's the United Kingdom, you're the average wealth of a UK citizen. Where is it compared to states in the United States? And the answers were like overwhelmingly, California, New York, UK. That's not it. The UK was like 48 or something like that. You live in the wealthiest country on Earth because they practice free enterprise. This is not hard. These people are totally isolated from reality. That's why they think like they do. Well, I'm asking you, man. And I got Mike Davis coming up and a few minutes. Don't miss this interview. Mike always cuts through the noise and gets to the signal. I played for you a while back. A, an interview Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank. You know, Mr. Wonderful, you've probably seen him. He had done this interview where he was talking about working with, I think it was Steve Jobs. I'm pretty sure. And he was saying that the reason he thought Steve Jobs was so effective is that Steve Jobs has the ability to cut through noise and get to signal. That a lot of what you see out there is noise meant to confuse you or just will confuse you from its very existence. And that really good managers and leaders cut right through that. They get to the truth. They're not isolated. They seek inputs. They get right to the signal. They don't waste time on the noise. The Democrats are experts at polluting the political environment with noise. What this shows aim has been from the beginning until now. And now with the launch of the morning radio show, nationwide, the afternoon radio show, the podcast, the edition of Sean Vincent Hayley, is always been to get straight to signal. I say that because people write things, especially in editor, even on our side and our outlets. People will write things that are assumed to be fact just because you see them in print. I'm going to do this in reverse first, because one of the arguments that drives me absolutely bananas by the socialist is, listen, we've got this massive $40 trillion national debt that's causing us real problems right now with interest payments because we just don't tax people enough. It's a stupid noise-based argument that has no single signal at all. Ladies and gentlemen, we tax the snot out of the United States citizenry, and the wealthiest people in the United States pay the overwhelming majority of taxes. The top 1% place, 40% the top 10%, pay 70%. That's just a fact. That's the signal. So I saw this piece in a journal, hold on for a second, by William Gaulsett. And I like his word, I'm not knocking him personally. He's not a personal thing. But he says something in his piece that, again, is just accepted as fact amongst the Democrats that we have a national debt problem because we just need to raise more taxes and tax hikes will do it. So I asked a simple question. I went to Groc, and I said, Groc, adjust for inflation, and tell me how many years the US government's total tax revenue has gone down from the year before. Because if you're making an argument that we have a national debt and annual deficit problem, because tax revenue is keeps going down, then how many years did this happen from the year before? Well, the answer is only in 15 years in the last 50. And why is it gone, there it is right there, adjusted for inflation. Why have they gone down, tax running? Typically because of a recession. Tax revenue has gone up 35 out of the last 50 years. So your argument that tax revenue is the problem, not spending is mathematically inaccurate. It is nothing more than isolating from the truth. It is nothing more than noise, not signal. I say it because, again, I read this guy's work. It's, he's, he's definitely not a mega guy, but that's fine. I enjoy reading other the other side because as I said to you in the beginning of the show, I want to see what the other side is thinking. But I just don't know why they keep saying this. Here's the piece I read that folks really annoyed the hell out of me. America's spiraling, excuse me, debt crisis by William Galston. He notes, after four years of budget surplus is, okay, that's not true in 2000. There was no budget surplus. I can prove this to you. Keep this up, please. Easily, William Galston and others. If there was a budget surplus for four straight years, from 2001 to 2005, 2006 and on, right? There was any budget surplus. How come the national debt went up every year? If I was running a surplus, how does my debt go up? That's just not true. It's an accounting gimmick. You know, the CBO released the 10-year forecast, projecting that the national debt would be eliminated by 2009. It didn't happen. Here's the line. Combined with slower than expected economic growth, the Bush tax cuts reduced economic tax receipts, oh, income tax receipts, from a projected 1.8 trillion in 2011 to 1.2 trillion. There we go. Blame into Bush tax cuts, just like they blame the Reagan tax cuts. Now, I've just showed you that that's not true. That 35 out of 50 years, tax revenue was gone up in overwhelming majority of the time. And when it goes down, it's typically not tax policy. It's a recession. So then I thought, maybe I'll pull up this so we used to use this article all the time. Here's an old school article from Don Dwyer from 10 years ago in The Washington Times. Is that true? The Bush tax cuts cost the government money? No, it's not true. The real jolt for tax-cutting opponents at the '03 Bush tax cuts generated a massive increase in federal tax receipts from 2004 to 2007. Notice he leaves these years out. Federal tax revenues increased by $785 billion. The largest four-year increase in American history. Folks, it's all noise, man. Learn to get to the signal. You want to solve the problem of our $40 trillion debt and our trillion dollar annual deficits higher tax. taxes are not the solution because the evidence in the signal says otherwise. You'll generate more tax revenue by cost effective and growth inducing tax cuts. The evidence is everywhere. You can look it up, you know, there's a whole big scandal right now about Stanley Drucken Miller wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that he says he used AI for. He's like, "Yeah, I used AI. I don't know what's the problem." You got to, I don't care if you use AI or not, but you can actually use AI to think for you if you don't want to think for yourself. It's just all noise. All right, I had a lot more, but I really, wait, I'm in a mood today, sorry. Of course we pick our comment to the day. Every day, Josh just popped out of the studio, he got a fresh haircut going on here. He's like, "We got a lot of good entries today for the comment of the day. It's our 1776 club, once a week we give out $1,776 to a listener of the show or a viewer of the show, either one, because we really want you to be a viewer because you'd be in the rumble chat. If you want to see the official rules, bongino.com/1776, Josh seemed very excited about our comment of the day. Today, our comment of the day is, Joey, Joey Bagadona, I think I've seen you in the chat before, Joey Bagadona, everyone calm down, I'm here, you should be because I, we almost indicted Joey Bagadona for a federal crime. So he is in the chat, he is accounted for, he is a okay. Thank you, Joey, underscore bag, underscore A, underscore donuts. You are the comment of the day, today's your comment, email us in the address on the screen. Good job. All right, quick break. I'm going to get to one of your favorite guests, the great Mike Davis, we do not have this guy on enough. He's fantastic. We're going to get a thorough explanation of this President Trump led effort to secure free and fair elections going forward. 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 uncertainties, 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 would suggest talking with birch gold, BIRCH, they'll discuss your goals, explain how precious metals can fit into your savings. They can even help you convert existing IRA or 401k into an IRA and gold for no additional money out of pocket. With an A+ 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. So text Dan to 989898, message and data rates may apply. Welcome back to the show. I say back because he was a regular guest on our radio show, and I know all the supporters and viewers and listeners love him. Mike Davis from the Article 3 project, Mike, thanks for your time today. We appreciate it. Thank you, Dan. Welcome back. It's good to be back. And let me just extend a note of really sincere and deep gratitude, you know, when we were at the FBI, cash and I cash, obviously, still being there. It was really nice having someone on the outside who could explain what was happening. Why some things could happen right away and why they didn't. It was nice to have a sane voice. Again, you know, we did not coordinate messaging or anything like that. It was just nice to hear someone say, hey, here's why this stuff happened. So we really appreciate that. And now you're seeing some of the results of that. I want to get to this first again, and you have a really unique ability to explain complex legal issues to people. The voting by mail Supreme Court decision that worked out for President Trump. But it's not the end of the line about these changes President Trump wants to make to the voting by mail system to the post office. Can you explain what happened and what it looks like the legal path ahead to clean up the system? President Trump issued an executive order ordering his attorney general, his secretary of Homeland security and his postmaster general to work together to come up with a plan to combat voter fraud through our postal service voter fraud through mail is mail fraud, which is a federal crime as you know, Dan from your time at the FBI. And so President Trump get this, of course, Democrats don't like that because Democrats rely on noncitizens as their new court constituency to illegally rig and vote in our elections. And so it's 23 Democrat governors, along with the Democrat mayor of DC sued in Boston. They knew that would be a favorable left wing district for them. And this left wing crazy Biden judge up there issued this injunction on the president of the United States telling the president that he can't even have his executive branch officials come up with a plan, not act on the plan, not anything that affects the states just come up with the plan. And so the first circuit filled with other left wing activists, the appeals court affirms this white job Obama judge in Boston and got sent up to the Supreme Court on the emergency docket because it's an injunction. It's not a case on the merits of so it would go up to the the emergency docket. And it's important here because you have an injunction on the president of the United States where he can't have his cabinet officials and others come up with a plan, pretty obviously illegal. So the Supreme Court set the same. It was 6 to 3 because the three Democrat women on the Supreme Court are also whack jobs. It should have been 9 to nothing. And the Supreme Court simply set these 23 governors and the DC mayor, all these Democrat politicians do not have standing to sue the president here. And the reason they don't have standing is because they aren't injured. They're not injured plaintiffs and under Article 3 of the Constitution, in order to sue and federal court, you have to have Article 3 standing. You have to be injured injury in fact, right? Not hypothetical injury, not potential injury, not, you know, possible injury, it has to be injury. In fact, it has to be concrete and specific and it's not here. So the Supreme Court got rid of the injunction. The same whack job, Boston judge appointed by Obama issued another injunction on another case that was like the mere image of what the Supreme Court just left it. The injunction of the Supreme Court just left it. So she's just a radical left-wing activist. That will get litigated again. The Postal Service, DHS, Homeland Security, they're going to have to come up with final rules. Those final rules, according to President Trump's executive order, include using a citizenship list from DHS, making sure that we're comparing that citizen list to the state's voter rules like California and other blue state hellholes where they clearly are putting non-citizens on these rules and mass numbers and letting them vote in mass numbers. That's why the Democrats opposed the Save America Act, even though it has 80% of support of Americans, including a supermajority of Democrats, a supermajority of minorities and a supermajority of black Americans who Democrats pretend or too stupid to get a voter ID and prove that they're American citizens so they can vote when in reality the Democrats just want illegal aliens to vote. Look, it's pretty obvious now between how the Democrats are reacting to the Save America Act and how they're reacting to the Supreme Court lifting this unlawful injunction by this Obama judge that Democrats, their game plan, their business plan is for illegal aliens to get imported into this country, load them up with welfare, bribe them, send them ballots and get them to vote for Democrats illegally. It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and that's exactly what Democrats are doing. To wrap this up, I would say this, these U.S. attorneys around the country and Dan yet to work with them, some of them are good, some of them are politicians, they need to step up because if you are conspiring to use our postal service to commit election fraud, you could be charged with federal conspiracy along with mail fraud. And so the U.S. attorneys need to step up and start doing something. We're talking to Mike Davis from the Article 3 project. Mike, that was a really thorough analysis of the EO there, the presidential EO. But just to follow up on this, because, excuse me, you and me and many others have been warning for a long time about what you just said, that the Democrats strategy for winning future elections from the House of Representatives, federal sides, obviously state stuff too, but House of Representatives, U.S. Senate and the presidency, is not to pitch good ideas. There is no large constituency for open borders, for defunding the police, for confiscatory taxes. There just isn't. That idea, it's just a fact, look at the polls, okay? So there's strategy appears to be even though they know voting by mail is prone to fraud. I can prove it. There's a 2012 New York Times article by Adam Lipteck, I cite all the time, when seniors were voting by mail in Florida and military folks who largely vote Republican back in 2012 before it's widespread use, the New York Times hated it and wrote about rejection rates and fraud being twice as large as in person voting. was they just acknowledged it's a huge problem and they cite data. So their plan appears to make this ballot harvesting and vote by mail-go national, import a bunch of folks into the country illegally, get them somehow registered, use them to replenish the population loss in blue states so you can hold onto your House of Representatives members and your electoral votes in the electoral college for the presidency, and basically hijack and steal elections. I mean, they're not hiding it. This is their only plan. It's certainly not a battle of ideas. Yeah, and they're not hiding it. It's not only their plan. It's what they just did in New York City, right? They changed the election laws to allow non-citizens to vote, right? It's just that that is their game plan. If you look at Mandami, he doesn't have the support of American citizens. He has the support of illegals. He has the support of non-citizens. And that's what the Democrats are trying to do. The Democrat Party knows that they are no longer the party of American voters. They are the party of Islamist. They are the party of third-worlders. They are the party of Marxist. They are the party of Communist. And they're getting pretty brazen about the fact that they are very much relying on illegals, non-citizens, to illegally vote in our elections. The replacing American voters, the replacement theory as Democrats used to call it is becoming the replacement reality. Right. It's their, Mike. It's their theory. It's not ours. The demographic destiny slash replacement theory argument is a Democrat battle plan. Us talking about it doesn't make us own it. It's you horrors. If we're just talking about what's in your house, not what's in ours. I'm glad you brought that up because that drives me crazy. Republicans talking about racist replacement. We're not talking about it. You are. We're just highlighting you idiots talking about it. So yeah, you're right. They talk about it openly. Let me change topics a bit because again, another topic you've been vocal about on your Twitter feed. Follow Mike Davis article three project. He's fantastic. Is this myth of department of justice, FBI, US marshals, DEA, whatever it is, independence as if it's a separate branch of government. Mike, this is used by the left for a couple of tactical reasons. When a Democrats in office and government in the presidency, I mean, and governments weaponized, like it was under Obama and Biden, they use it to say like, no, no, no, those decisions were made by Obama and Biden. That was an independent FBI and DOJ. And then when a Republicans in office, they use it to encourage fake whistleblowers to come out and not enact the president's agenda. The attorney general is selected by the president, confirmed by the United States Senate. The attorney general and that heads the DOJ, the FBI is underneath the DOJ. None of these entities are independent of the will of the people in the executive branch. It is a liberal myth. Yeah, it's, let me just say this to these Democrat reporters who pretend that the Department of Justice is independent of the duly elected president of the United States, the every federal agent, every federal prosecutor in America reports to the deputy attorney general who reports to the attorney general who reports to the president of the United States, who was elected by all Americans. And for Democrats to argue otherwise, when they do that, they simply prove there is a deep state, which they pretend is a conspiracy theory. We don't have another branch of government. I guess the Supreme Court did say that the federal reserve is somehow independent, which is a shocking case. But federal law, think about this. If you don't have the attorney general and the rest of the justice department reporting to the duly elected president of the United States, that is the recipe for tyranny that Democrats pretend they're trying to protect against. We remember it was Barack Obama who had his wingman, Eric Holder, politicize and weaponize the justice department against his political enemies. It was Joe Biden who did that on steroids. It was Jonathan Sue Biden's deputy White House counsel who waived president Trump's claim of executive privilege, which led to the moral agorade and for unprecedented Republicaning indictments against President Trump, including Jack Smith as a special counsel, a partisan slut missile, right? Who got overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court in a prior prosecution of Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell. They brought Jack Smith back. It was Matthew Kalangelo who got deployed from the number three office and the justice department to Alvin Bragg's office in New York, Manhattan DA, Democrat DA Alvin Bragg to bring the first indictment of a president ever. It was it was Tish James who coordinated with the Biden White House to bring a criminal civil charges against President Trump. It was Big Fanny Willis down Fulton County, Georgia who hired her dumb unqualified boyfriend who billed 16 hours of his time, $4,000 or $8,000 I believe it was to meet with the Biden White House, including the Biden White House counsel before they brought charges against President Trump. He was obviously billing on the Trump case because that was the only case on which he was a special counsel. So he was coordinating with the Biden White House to bring charges against Trump. I don't remember the Democrats during that those three years of unprecedented Republican, Republican law fair by Biden against Trump through Biden's justice department and through these Democrat DAs. I don't remember Democrats, including Democrat reporters, complaining about the independence of the justice department then. They only care about the independence of the justice department when we have Republican presidents. Oh, it's so obvious. It's just that they're not it's as transparent as Scotch tape. I mean, you could see right through these idiots. And like you said, are you you're making an argument that the deep state that can be easily corrupted with no accountability is real. I don't know how you think you're helping your case with this fictitious nonsensical argument. Anyone who has a basic understanding of the Constitution sees right through it. I mean, we want to another topic as well. We've got midterm elections coming up. Obviously presidential midterms for the opposing party are typically a good a good run, bad run for the party in the White House. There's nothing about nothing unique about that happens all the time. However, I think we can both argue that during the Biden disastrous administration, you know, a lot of people were predicting a huge enormous red wave that didn't happen. It wasn't a horrible election, but it wasn't the best election ever either. I think that's got a lot to do with gerrymandering. It's got a lot to do with polarization to the electorates. Not a lot of split ticket voting that happens anymore. So what I'm getting at is that works for us too, though. Anyone saying, oh my gosh, listen, we're so impoply, which is nonsense. You know, we don't have a message to run on and you're on the GOP side leaking to playbook this stuff. There's no message. This is exhausting, okay? It's, it's just nonsense. We have had an incredible year and a half run, Mike. The GOP message is simple. Borders closed, crime crushed, we're building things again. Yes, there are issues. There's still a lot of, you know, inflation's not under control. We're still dealing with what Biden did with the spending blowout. Obviously, you know, Iran has been ongoing and unpredictable, even though I think we have a good control over the straight now. But saying we don't have a message, despite the borders being controlled, crime at historic lows and building things again in America, high tech quality materials, that's just you pretending it's a fate of complete. It's just because you're, you're, you're just lazy. Yeah, this election is a clear choice for American voters. Do we want to continue, President Trump's path of securing our border, expelling illegal aliens who are trying to replace our population in lutes, our welfare systems, including the most dangerous criminals in the world, like Trendy Arahwa, MS-13, Islamist, Jihadist, other third world worlders. Do we want to continue, President Trump's crackdown on crime? I don't think that Dan takes enough credit for this, but Kash and Dan were instrumental in reducing crime in America, particularly violent crime in big cities. And so Dan will not, he's too modest to take a bow, so I will force him to take a bow here. Do we want to continue to have a secure border, to secure our sovereignty as we, the people, the sovereign citizens of America to secure our neighborhoods, to secure our families? Or do we want to go down the Islamist path, the third world level path, the communist path, where you have these dangerous radicals, like Min Dami, like this Democrat Senate candidate, like these other radicals who are running for office, and Chuck Schumer's not going to stop these guys if they take over the Senate. Hakeem Jeffries is going to lead the charge for these guys if they take over the house, and they are going to destroy our border. They're going to try to defund ice, if they went in the midterm elections, they will spend two years destroying President Trump and his presidency. They'll try to win the trifecta in 2020. the white house, the house and the Senate, and I'm, I'm warning the viewers. That is game over America. That happens. They will nuke the legislative filibuster meeting 60 votes to 50 votes plus the vice president in the Senate. They will pack the Supreme Court with left wing radicals. So from nine seats to 1315. Who knows the number of seats with left wing radicals like Katangi brown Jackson. They will, they will strip us of our God given rights as guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are rights to speak worship associate to protect ourselves. And then when they take away our ability to protect ourselves are second amendment right which protects us from government's tyranny and government andarchy. That's when the Islamist aminist Marxist play really becomes a front and center. They are going to destroy our country. They hate America. They hate the West and they're not even hiding it anymore because these are not today's. Today's Democrats are not our parents are grandparents Democrats. These are not people who love America and just disagree with us on the best way to get there. They hate America. They hate the West. They're very open about it. They don't believe in free speech. They believe in censorship. They don't believe in equality. They believe in equity DEI CRT race based division. They don't believe in due process of law equal protection law. They believe in politicized and weaponized justice systems. That is your choice going into November. So don't be complacent. Don't be angry because Trump's only done 95% of what you want. He hasn't done 100% of what you want. You have a choice in this election. You need to vote like responsible adults and not actual children. One of the things I admire about President Trump's leadership in the administration is President Trump is very sensitive to what the base needs. Now Mike, you've been around politicians. Most of them, let's just be honest, if they're lame ducks and they're not running again or maybe they're polls are bad and they were just forced out reluctantly but they don't run again. They generally go into like FIGMO, FIT got my orders and they just don't care. You can see it. It's the examples we could go over hundreds of them. President Trump's not running again. He's wealthy, he's got a great family, great wife. I mean, he really doesn't need this, but he still is extremely sensitive to the base, the people who got him there and he never forgot that he, you know, he dances with who brought him to the party and he always has. But one of the things I don't think he gets enough credit for and I say this to both the liberal media, the communists, the hacks, the Democrats and the doomers on our side who just want to constantly crap on him for what didn't happen yet. But may still happen because again, he's very sensitive to the base is President Trump's creative use of things that the media just ignores. Like you had mentioned that the historic drop in crime and I really deeply appreciate your words we focus strongly on that, especially violent crime and how we could help. But I want to bring in another angle to this, which you understand. President Trump was the first president in modern history to creatively use title eight for immigration. In other words, why are we allowing these people, we arrest for crimes in the United States who were here illegally to stay in the country. The old theory was, well, you know, maybe they can be useful in other crimes or like, we don't want to go through the whole immigration thing. President Trump, I remember him saying this to us, why are we wasting United States attorneys time, state jail space, federal jail space, all the money it takes to incarcerate these people. If we can just get them the hell out of the country, if they're not going to be like Sammy the Bull and provide information on the mob, then get them out. And it was, it was, this was a hugely impactful decision, which I think is, I don't know, 30, 40% of the drop in crime, maybe more attributable with that alone. Yeah, and here's the problem, even if you prosecute these people, these left wing judges are going to make it nearly impossible to put them in jail. So I'm all about sending these illegals back to their home countries and when they pretend like they're persecuted back in their home countries, even though they go back to their home countries to visit during their illegal stay in America, then okay, you don't want to go back to your home country. How does the Central African Republic sound or you've gone to sound because that's where you're going, right? And that, that is where President Trump has been so effective. And frankly, we're President Trump's Justice Department team led led by Todd Blanche now by Pam Bondy before cash you Dan Johnson sour the solicitor general so many others, they have won monumental victories at the Supreme Court, particularly on immigration, but more broadly on President. The President's article to executive power and he has really laid the groundwork where we can ramp up deportations on a mass scale after going through a year of democratic judicial sabotage after four years, eight years, nine years of election interference of weaponization of intelligences and law enforcement. President Trump and his team are firing on old soldiers and I would say this that if you are here, I used to be pretty soft on immigration about 10 years ago, not anymore after Joe Biden led in 20 plus million illegals into our country, including the worst of the worst, the most vicious murderers, robbers, rapists, other violent criminals after the Supreme Court and one of their most egregious rulings ever said that illegal. Aliens Chinese birthtourist friend day rock was somehow at birthright citizenship under the 14th amendment, I have zero compassion now we need to get illegal aliens the hell out of our country they are all criminals every one of them, of course we have to prioritize because we have resources to we have to use the resources we have, but we need to get them the hell out of our country we could not have our population replace I come from immigrants. I come from immigrants I come from Irish immigrants I Italian the Italians married into my Irish family like the moors and so I have Italian cousins like we come from a diverse country, but you need to assimilate you need to want to become part of America and we have islamist and other third worlders who do not want to assimilate they're not here to assimilate they're here to conquer they're here to steal our welfare to defraud our country and destroy our country. We can't let these people in our country and we need to get them the hell out of our country if you do not chair our western our American values we do not want you here.
