Dan Bongino delivers a high-stakes, emotionally charged appeal for voter participation in the upcoming midterms, framing the election as a critical battle for American values. He opens with the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative leader, to underscore the urgency and emotional weight of the moment. Bongino argues that the country is at risk from a growing progressive agenda, citing issues like open borders, defunding of law enforcement, and threats to constitutional freedoms. He challenges misleading media narratives by pointing to polling discrepancies and real voting data that show strong Republican turnout, especially among long-time supporters. The host criticizes liberal media and political figures for spreading misinformation and demoralizing voters, highlighting the incompetence of new Democratic press secretaries who avoid clear answers. He emphasizes that hope is not lost and that evidence matters—calling out the hypocrisy of those who ignore facts. Central to his message is a call to action: citizens must mobilize, bring neighbors to vote, and defend their values. Bongino stresses that the midterms are not a distant event but a pivotal moment where ordinary people can reverse political trends. He features interviews with journalists like Sarah Carter, who highlights drug issues, and uses real-life examples to reinforce the argument that civic engagement is both necessary and powerful. Ultimately, the show ends with a rallying cry: American voters must show up, take back control, and protect the nation from what Bongino sees as a dangerous shift toward social and political authoritarianism.
All America, all the time, sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. Friends out there, and I say friends, because I really do consider you all friends. I feel like I know many of you from the chat, from studio events we've done, from election night, from just phone conversations I've had with the McRoyne crew and others. People I know personally from the show who've been here for years, the linen jeffs of the chat, pops all of you, I can't say it enough, I don't get it sometimes. I don't get how this two year body of work that's been put together. I've talked about results, divorce yourself from the emotions. I don't care if you love Trump, hate Trump, love me, hate me, whatever. I just don't understand how you know your country's on the line, if you're one of those on the fence voters, and you could possibly consider the alternative to what we have right now. I got Sarah Carter, our drugs are coming up later in a great interview, parents, by the way, you got to watch it. She talks about this new drug on the market that they had not. It's a rhino tranquilizer that they're finding in hospitals. We can't go back to that. It's not bringing this up to the beginning of the show. I cannot go back to open borders, fentanyl deaths exploding, rhino tranquilizers going basically unwatched, crime rates going back up again, defund the police, defundize, defund DHS, 9% inflation under Biden, 5% average inflation, massive government red tape, assaults on the second amendment, but partial birth abortion, post-birth abortion, also known as homicide. I can't go back to that. I can. That your country is on the line in this midterm election, go and take it, go take it. It's yours. There is a very simple solution for us to maintain all of this forward progress we have. Just go vote and take it. Just right there, millions more people vote in a presidential election for President Trump and vote in a midterm. Why? Because they just don't show up, those people are there, go get them, bring 10 people with you. I've been saying this for years, and not just me, but someone else you remember as well. I want to play something for you. They show how to different title initially, but I was afraid people wouldn't get it. So I had changed it because this interview at the end just kind of highlights the opposite of this. How unserious the other party is, the Democrats, but this show had a different title in the beginning. It was about a moment that very few moments in your life can be acknowledged where you were completely changed and transformed. I don't know what you want to call it, the spirit realm or whatever it is. There are very few moments where you feel like you've left your body and you're in a special place. One of them happened for me. I got a big show for you today, so please stay tuned in your countries there. Go take it. Just take it. It's yours. Folks, the midterms are here. The stakes are high.

Let's go, folks, when we tragically watched the assassination of our brother Charlie Kirk, it was, I mean, to say a traumatic moment was his understatement of the millennia. I was sitting in my desk in the FBI and I really couldn't believe what we were watching. I mean, it wasn't like I didn't know that this could happen. There've been attacks on political attacks, many leveled against Republicans and conservatives for a long time, Steve Scales and others, Kavanaugh. But watching that was just, I don't know, man, it's like, I think back to like, when Reagan was shot and the space shuttle disaster, like moments, you know what I'm talking about, moments that I don't know what it does, it permanently transforms your brain's architecture. So you always remember it as if you were there again, I mean, how many moments in your life? Can you really say that about? Now, sometimes those moments, and thankfully aren't just tragedy, either the first time you see your daughter, you know, serve great navali ball game and she smiles at you like you remember that too, but I had this feeling, I had this feeling after Charlie was brutally murdered and stolen from us way too soon. I had this feeling that this was going to be an inflection point, one of two ways. For those of you who knew Charlie personally like I did, and even if you did not, but you had some interaction with him at the event or whatever, Charlie was kind of like the glue that had held this movement together because Charlie given his position as an organizer who's he was he lived by the edition principle. We have to bring more people into movement to win because we're not going to project political power and advanced conservatism without a win. Charlie had to deal with the conservatives, the libertarians, the moderate Republicans, old school Republicans, neo conservatives, independents who lean conservative. He had to deal with all of them. He was kind of like the glue, the mortar that held this all together. And I said to myself, I'm telling you, I remember vividly in my head sitting at the desk thinking this is going to go one of two ways. It's going to be a moment of solidarity or it's going to be a moment of division where this whole thing falls apart. We're going to see in this upcoming election, which one of those pasts in that fork in the road right? I say that because when I was at Charlie's Memorial in Arizona, there is a group of Christian-based singers, Jasmine's very familiar with she listens to a lot of spiritual music. I did not before. It's not funny. I didn't like it. I just never really been exposed to it that much. I was at Charlie's Memorial Service in Arizona. And there's this guy, I don't know if you know Cody Karnes and Carrie Job. They're very, very popular faith-based singers. And I was sitting there right close to the stage watching this and I had never heard this song, The Blessing before, and folks, I'm going to tell you something. If there's a spirit around, I was in it because I had never experienced anything like that in my life. And I just asked you to remember what Charlie stood for before this election. Now we're not going to get everything we want from everyone. The conservatives aren't going to get everything. The neoconservatives aren't going to get everything. The libertarians aren't going to get everything they want. The old school Republicans aren't going to get everything they want. But if you get 60 to 80 percent as Ronald Reagan said, we can go back for the rest later. This was a moment. I was so filled with hope. I just want you to listen to this one. The song is about seven to ten minutes, depending on what version you listen to. And if you were there for this, if didn't the chat, if you were there, please acknowledge what I'm telling you is true that everyone in that building is in the spirit around. Listen to this. Yeah. I know you. It's just hard for me. Okay. Folks, I'm telling you, this was hard for me when I was talking. Chills just listening. I saw that in the chat right now. I think anyone who watched that was in the spirit realm too. I'm reading your chat now. The song is called, sorry man, I get a lot emotional with this. The song is called The Blessing and it is, I encourage you to listen to the whole thing. It's thankfully a rather long song in an era where people do a one minute song.
so you can sit there and enter the spirit around yourself for seven to ten minutes of your life. Folks I'd never heard that before and I had a lot of hope after that and I have a lot of hope now. I'm never given up hope. If you ever read Victor Frankl's book listen this is an Oprah's book club okay I'm not telling you what to do or not do I'm just telling you if you ever want to read a book about hope. Victor Frankl's generational bestseller has been a bestseller for decades. It's called Man's Search for Meaning. It's Victor Frankl's real-life account of living in the Holocaust death camps and how even in a Nazi concentration camp with nearly a short death there were incredibly people who still managed to have hope and he talks about it how you can tell. He says you can tell how someone had given up. They had just given up and they would say they they called it walking into the wire there was like an electrified fence and some people in the camps just gave up and they decided it was the end and they terminated their own lives. He said you can just see it. He said and then you would see others that despite the atrocity and the abomination of their daily lives and the concentration camp that they still manage to keep the view that one day I'm gonna get out of here and I'm gonna see my family again and it's what kept them going. That book changed my life it'll change yours too. I'm never given up hope and folks it's really sad that we have some folks again who you had trusted in the past that are doing everything they can to get you to give up hope and forfeiture country away making you believe apathy is a better choice than activism that to give up the fight is better than to stand there valiantly at the front lines dress yourself in the armor of God and take on the demons. You know I'm not one of those guys I'm not and we're going to do an election night show and if it turns out to be a freaking blue tsunami and we lose every freaking seat in the Congress I promise you the next day I'm gonna be really pissed off but if you think I'm forfeiting away my country you're crazy I don't care if we're down to one listener and it's jasmine in the bubble inside you are never ever going to get me to say I just give up because it's not about you it's about your kids and even if you don't have kids it's about your nephews if you don't have nephews it's about your friends kids. Folks Andrew from turning point Andrew Colvin from turning point who is Charlie's best friend Andrew gave an amazing answer yesterday he was on a panel and he was addressing the the choice in this election how things aren't perfect folks I get it inflation number came in today it wasn't spectacular however it was still far below where you were even the average under Joe Biden you have a choice you have so many great things in this country to vote on security public safety a growing economy the fact that you're free here even despite tyrants who tried to steal away your freedom you are still free to go vote in a secret ballot that to speak your mind unlike in the European Union without the fear of arrest you want to give that up Andrew was asked about this and this was just a complete banger of an answer check this out you know she said the American dreams gone and I think young people need to understand that this is still America this is still the land of opportunity the home of the brave I mean we have such a blessing you should kiss the ground that you walk on that you get to live in this country and never forget that yeah there's problems yeah there's issue this is still America so I don't believe in downsizing the American dream at all thank you Andrew I'm not downsizing the American dream of the importance of you showing up or giving up hope no matter what happens our query in the chat listening to you Dan while digging out from the hurricane here in Pensacola adapt and overcome disguise in the chat he's digging his house out from a hurricane he's going to show up and vote folks don't drag 10 people with you drag 20 you go out and bank your vote bank your vote that way they don't have to spend money or knock on your door anymore and go and grab 10 of your neighbors who are unsure and convince them to take their butts out of the chair and go and vote your country is at stake go and take it today here's Tom Sauer on X folks this is gonna hurt but then read this if you see it on the screen right now if you're listening on audio at Thomas B Sauer Charlie Kirk was murdered and you're thinking about sitting out the midterms what the F is wrong with you thank you Tom I I don't know any other way to say it Charlie was murdered at an event promoting the free exchange of ideas and celebration of this capital all republic and our constitutional founding fathers beautiful ideas in the constitution that you're free to speak that's all at risk that's hyperbolic no it isn't the people running on the other side of the aisle are running on abolishing the Senate packing our Supreme Court wiping out your ability to speak through your ballot to pull a lever for the rest of your life this is what they're actually running on folks maybe you like me maybe you don't but most people in this movement even if they didn't like respected Charlie and what he did no one turned out a crowd like Charlie they just didn't maybe you don't want to take my advice about bringing 10 people I'm telling you to bring 20 please here's what Charlie had to say on the matter sound familiar check this out ballots are out in Arizona ballots are out in Arizona ballots are out go vote right now bank your vote get it in there and get a friend who otherwise would not have voted and get it in the system right now then once you vote your job is not done that is step one go find 10 other people go find your neighbor your nephew especially the one that is not a high prop voter the one that's like I don't know about it you got to dive into that relationship do that work and especially especially with an exponent on it if you live in Arizona the man was a legend folks and he was murdered he was killed in front of all of us most of you saw it and had to witness the horror of what happened to him everything he stood for is on the ballot is not even with us anymore folks there's no excuse to not show up there were tens of millions of more people that more people that voted in the presidential election who sat out the 2022 midterms I'm talking about our people Democrats too but our people if the same people who voted for president Trump just showed up in this midterm election whatever we call you low propensity voters or whatever you've heard me mentioned a term four by four I'll get to that in a second it's important hold that in your mind if those people just showed up they're registered they know how to vote they voted for the Trump agenda before if just those people showed up and no more we would hold the house in the Senate by by two or three points in many of these swing states that's just simple math you're not many of you some are tragically but most of us aren't digging out from a hurricane those folks are showing up folks remember I told you about the four by four voters four by four voters a lot of people listen to the show the absolute diehards nuclear armageddon does not keep these people from voting a four by four voter are people who voted in the last four primaries and elections you're not stopping them from voting no matter what those are the people going to show up that's not enough that's not the one by four voters have to show up maybe they voted in one general election in the last four election years or or four four cycles those are the people we have to go out and get many of them voted for president Trump for the first time in 2024 we have to go get those people I'm not a huge fan of Frank Luntz I'll be honest with you but this is a very very good piece with Leland Vitter from News Nation about four by fours at the high-prepensity voters and how this may be leading to a dramatic skew in the polling which is leading people to believe that this race is already over at a blue tsunami I need you to listen to this because even Democrat operatives are starting to acknowledge that maybe the blue tsunami blue wave talk is quote too rosy I'm just bringing the receipts man for anyone out there like it's a fate of complete this race is over I'm not voting oh you are dead wrong dead wrong
All right, quick break and I'll show you what I mean. Stay tuned. Folks, the stakes couldn't be higher. We finally have a country fighting hard for America, but if we lose focus now, the same people created this mess are going to be right back in power and they're going to be destroying the country with the progressive agenda. Protect the momentum. It takes everyday Americans staying in the fight for our rights and freedoms.

Today's show also brought to you by Healex. Folks, there's all these life hackers out there now. What are they telling you? The most important thing or one of the most important things you can do, stop smoking, exercise, is you've got to sleep. The days of celebrating four hours of sleep are over. No good. I have a good mattress. Sleep better like I did H-E-L-I-X Healex. Falls and swing, cooler nights, earlier sunsets, and excuse to stay home and get cozy. For me, that starts with a really good night's sleep. Switching to Healex mattresses, this is my second or third one, it's been a huge upgrade for me. I've had them for a long time. They've been great. Total game changer. I wake up feeling energetic, rested, refreshed. It's made the bedroom one of the favorite places to relax, when I'm winding down, watching something or just enjoying a slow fall morning. What's great about Healex is they know everyone sleeps differently. They've got a solution for that. They have over 20 different mattress models, and their two-minute sleep quiz helps you find the right one for your sleep preferences. Plus your mattress ships straight to your door in the U.S. Healex gives you a 365-night sleep trial, so you can make sure you love it. Who's better than you? If you're old mattresses overdue for an upgrade, make the switch today. This is the season. Finally, do it. Go to HealexSleep.com/dann for 20% off-site-wide. That's H-E-L-I-X HealexSleep.com/dann. Thanks, Healex. We appreciate it. Okay. First, let me just, I mean, back this up and reverse the car a little bit. In case you think Dan's an activist, conservative, former candidate, he's just telling you this to juice you up. We're really going to lose the race is already over. Okay. Disregard what I'm saying. I'm obviously cannot be totally objective. I'm a conservative. I support President Trump. It's hard for me to divorce myself from my feelings completely. Let's use the Democrats' own words in case you think this race is already over. I'll show you politics. Politico, top Democrat pollsters say the recent round of New York Times, Seattle polls were quote, too rosy. These are Democrats. These are Democrats. Don't believe me. Believe them. I'll show you why in a second with the lunch clip. I'll put the, we back it up with receipts. We are not giving up. There is, hope is not lost. Politico, here's the actual article. Ion Hopium, behind the scenes, at least some Democrats are in skeptic camps. One top Democrat pollster privately fredded to us that the recent round of polls were quote, too rosy. It goes on. They're starting to get worried, folks. There's some closing. Go to the next one. Watching House Democrat leaders travel around the country, they continue, looking to expand the map. Some members are getting worried election day will be far closer than leadership expects. They note even the House Minority Leader, Jeffries, showed playbook comments he made in Pennsylvania. Quote, "We're running through the finish line. We take nothing for granted, but we're on the verge of taking back control of the House of Representatives. Folks, they are hedging now because they understand that these low propensity voters on the Republican side, who may not have turned out for a midterm election in the past that President Trump taking a significant amount of his time to go to Alaska and elsewhere to gin up support for the Trump agenda, may get those one by four voters out. To be clear again, not to beat this thing to that, the one by four someone who voted maybe once in the last four election cycles, they're really low propensity voters. They may not ever show up in a midterm with the exception of Donald Trump because people who love Donald Trump really love Donald Trump. The problem is people who hate Donald Trump really hate Donald Trump. There's no milk toast in there and I'm talking about Democrats. The problem is are the Democrats oversampling four by four Democrats who really, really hate Donald Trump while undersampling people who really love Donald Trump but haven't voted in midterms in the past. Is that what's leading to this media narrative, oh, Republican stay home, it's a blue way. Not a huge fan of once, however, this is a pretty good analysis of a potential skew in the polls with Leland Vitter, check this out. >> And the polls may not be picking up a hidden Republican vote. If it exists, this is why. Cold sparked today total of 892 interviews across five Pennsylvania Senate districts. Four of four Democrats, people who voted in the last four elections and identified as these Democrats are 199% over quota. By contrast, the equivalent high propensity Republicans are just 2% over quota. What does that mean? >> It says that the Democrats are participating or prepared to participate and that the Republicans low propensity voters except in the presidential race are still less likely to participate. >> Participating polls are the election. The elections, and I agree with you in your analysis that this is a high stakes decision for him. Donald Trump is magic to his voters. When he speaks, they listen and they don't hear anyone else, here's the problem. He's also magic to people who don't like him, who are more likely to participate because they're thinking of him. So he's going to bring out his own vote, but he's also going to bring out those who don't like him at all. Now can I add to that for a second and give you the Dan Bongino analysis? When you look at the early voting numbers in Florida, in Michigan, and elsewhere, numbers, actual numbers of people who voted, we can see right now in lifetime. When you look at those numbers, this pattern is clear. The first day of early voting, there's an explosion in four by four Democrats. We hate Donald Trump, showing up with their number one foamy fingers, I'm the number one Donald Trump hate. They show up, no doubt about that. And then you look at the subsequent days and the numbers go, they drop like a rock, meaning the three by four voters, three of the last four elections, two by four voters, two of the last four, one by four and zero out of four are not showing up on the Democrat side. Have they exhausted the hate matrix against Donald Trump while the love matrix for Donald Trump is not exhausted as all, at all as Republicans do pretty well in early voting. In some cases, a little bit of an increase. Folks, this thing is not over at all. Anyone telling you that is giving you doomer's slop because they want the president to lose. Has it become any clearer to you over the last few weeks out of podcasts to stand? And folks, there's a reason. I have made a conscious decision to focus on this election and to sideline a lot of the distraction nonsense. But I got to show you an example of this coming up in a second again. How right before a critical election, Islamophonatics, socialists, progressive liberals, I mean, just total complete social commies, there are people running on the exact same message pretending to be your friend and there are people falling for it. This explains the massive extinction burst yesterday against Kate Sakuraiya. Do you think this would be like, she did a pressure, you say, the pressure was fine. She was nervous. Don't really, bro, let me just ask people in the audience who is arrogant and egotistical enough to believe your first press conference is the press secretary in front of figuratively speak the entire world, probably millions of people watching you. The first time, and I like, she was a little nervous, oh, you wouldn't be right and succeed a Caroline Levin, who was probably like one or two press secretaries of all time. The media just hilariously lost their mind yesterday. Why? They're grasping on to anything right now. I saw some reports this morning, some people haven't. She doesn't, how do you know she doesn't have it? From 15 minutes in front of the party, it was fine. She did a good job. Folks, I sit here and talk to 42,000 people right now, at 1030 in the morning and millions more over Apple, Spotify, YouTube and all these other platforms, we have audio content in that live video, right? I got to tell you, if you stuck me in front of there, I'd be a little anxious too. The first time I ever filled in for Sean Hannity on the Fox show, was the first time I ever had a show myself. It was like two days or three days before Christmas. I was walking into the Fox building and I'm going to taste some. It's the first time in my life.
my life. I was really nervous about producing content. I was like, man, what's that camera goes on? And that thing turns green. It's you, baby. And you know what I thought of? I thought of my man, the snake, Kenny Stabler caught up at for the Raiders. What was his favorite line? Throw deep, baby. Throw deep. But if you go watch that show, it's probably on screw tube somewhere. You'll see in the first minute or two, I'm a little nervous too. She did fine. And you're seriously going to compare what she did yesterday. It was a great job too. You want to go back to this? Remember the binder? Carriage up here. Here, here's Carriage up here, making sure you know she's the first gay lesbian, black immigrant to mumbo. Great. Did you want to go back to this? Check this out. I'm obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts. I am a black gay immigrant woman, the first of all three of those two hold this position. I would not be here today if it were not for generations of barriers, people, barrier breaking people before me. I stand on their shoulders. If it were not for generations of very, very breaking people before me, I would not be here. But I benefit from their sacrifices. I have learned from their excellence. And I am forever grateful to them. Representation does matter. You hear us. You hear us say this often in this administration. And no one understands this better than President Biden. President, you said it right. Spoken from the heart. And the pre-prepared. No, it's someone wrong for her. She's staring at folks. I, you know, we laugh about how to be like education and entertainment that the show is we, we'd like to be educational, but we also want the show to be entertaining or no one's going to tune in. You may say, oh, that was definitely the entertainment portion. No, it isn't. I put that up for a reason. It's not just a poke fun or although it's easy. She was horrendous. That's not the point. I want you to notice something. What do we always talk about? I practice what I preach. Snapshots, sound bites, and contrasts. If you don't understand that as an activist or a candidate, you're just going to get smoked. I want to paint a picture for you. Yesterday, Kate Zachariah goes out there and eloquently, and all right, maybe a little couple of nervous ticks, but nobody deal makes the whole first 10 minutes of the presser about the Trump agenda, not about omni first west of the Mississippi blonde woman who went to law school at Pepper the she barely mentions her own resume. She's like, hey, I'm here to defend this White House and our agenda. She makes the whole thing about everything other than her. Korean jump here goes up there. Omni first gay black immigrant breaking ceilings everywhere all over the place with a binder full of multi colored tabs that represent the D E I rainbow, the L G B T Q I A spirit B I P O C. Those are all real, by the way, what the contrast is clear as day. And you got this clown car of goofball commentators who I'm telling you would have hit the bed and put an S in front of it if it was their turn. Here's the hilariously stupid Caitlin Collins, who by the way, before she got a show ridiculous, ridiculously on CNN, the most underqualified person in American history to get a news network show Caitlin Collins was an entertainment reporter like wrote about like movies and stuff. Here she is like, oh, I've never seen anything like really. You know what I mean, she gave a 15 minute presser answered a few questions at 9 30 in the morning. The second day she was hired and you think you would have done better. Okay. Sure. It's not a movie. Go review digger or something that Tom Cruise movie Caitlin. That's where you belong. Check this out. kind of bizarre because it was a press briefing, but there was only two questions that were taken by the new press secretary. She came out. She read very lengthy remarks, which is not unusual. That's typically what Caroline love it would do as well. She would take a come out and talk about what the administration wanted to tell that day, any announcements, anything that was going on. And then she turned to questions. Oh, actually, let me adjust my count. She took three questions. But yeah, wolf, I'm just I'm a little surprised. I've never really seen a briefing where there weren't. I mean, I've seen a few where there's only a couple of questions, but I've never seen where there was only three questions taken during an entire press briefing. So that was unusual. So I'm not really sure. I mean, it started 15 minutes ago. So I don't really know what to say. Did you catch that? Wait, hold on. Did you guys I just I'm embarrassed to tell you this. I actually miss this and the not only when I pulled the clip, but in the show run down to this is not a skit or a gig. I actually miss it. I'm horrified, Jasmine. I got to do it myself on the bus. This is how stupid Caitlin Collins is. Some of you go out in the chat. I think picked up on it. She says at the end, oh my gosh, I've never seen this before. Someone who've answered, who's answered three questions. I've seen a few where they answer a couple. I mean, I've seen a few where there's only a couple of questions, but I've never seen where there was only three questions taken during an entire and it was going. Is it Andrew? You missed Andrew in the bubble? He's like, couple, three. I've never seen them answer three questions. I've seen a few where they've answered two. A baker's couple. Good job. And this is like, we need Jay's advocates again. If there was ever a time for Jay's advocates, you got to be a hard core P1. I think only audience archive is Judy remembers that one. Some guy sent us an advocates once because liberals can't do math. It's guy Jay. And everybody thought it was the name of a person. Jay's advocates. No, it's Jay's apostrophe. Advocates. This is how stupid these people are. This is all they have two weeks out from a minute in election. Just petty stupid mean girl type attacks on on Kate Sakurai who did a fine job under really stressful circumstances that Caitlin Collins would have crapped their draws on. You'd be changing her right now. Here's MS NOW, of course, jumping into the fray to man. Hey, there's another one. I can't believe Kate Sakurai has said, Hey, I'm going to get back to you with an answer on Ukraine. That's never happened. A press secretary having to get back to you with an answer. Never seen that before ever. Listen to this commentary. And I think you all know we're going with this one receipts matter. I check this out. I don't know whether she has any information about the US intelligence sharing capacity with the Ukrainians, but she did provide an answer. And that answer was essentially I don't know that I'm going to have to get back to you. That should be a very basic answer from the podium of the West Wing here. And I think it's why it's such a concern to have somebody representing the United States and the executive branch in this capacity. When there are some very basic questions there that she should either have a yes or a no answer to not a I need to get back to you on that answer. Yeah, we've never, we've never seen that guys. Andrew, we've never seen a press secretary ever before saying, I don't really have the answer. I'm going to have to circle back. What is that Gwen Stefani song? I ain't no hollow back girl or I holla H O L L A. I ain't no circle back girl. We've never seen that before. So of course, peppermint patty had a chime in. Jen secretary, the most deceptive press secretary, she's a very skilled liar. And that's not a compliment. Well, that briefing was basically an SNL skit, except it wasn't. We'll have a lot more to say at 9 p.m. Really, Jen? Now, here is an MSNOW personality who again, never, ever said, I'll get back to you on an answer. She had every single answer right at the tip of her fingertips. Hat tip, gravy and for this jam, check this out. I'll circle back. If there's more, I can share with you, but I'll circle back with you if there's more to convey. I'll have to just circle back with you. We can circle back with, I'm happy to circle back with you. I can circle back. I will have to circle back on that one. That's an excellent question. Oh, such an important question. We will circle back with you and we'll circle back with you. It's an interesting question, but we'll, we'll circle back. I'm happy to circle back, but I'll have to circle back with you on. It's a good question, but we'll circle back with you on this today. We will certainly circle back with you more directly. I hate to disappoint you, but I will have to circle back with you on. Folks, I'm just going to ask a question. Please respond in the chat because there are some, I get it where most of you stand, but we always get a couple of trolls in there. It's a serious question. Let me tell you right now and I mean this. I mean it. I am not asking this like rhetorically or to be a jerk. I'm asking it seriously. Do receipts or if you want to speak more plainly evidence of the truth? Does that matter to you or not? It clearly doesn't matter to the left wing media. The MSNOW person knows clear well before he says, Oh, Kate Sakurai, God forbid, how to get back on an answer knows full well. Jen Sockie barely had an answer.
Green Jump here never said anything. It's our first freaking day. Thank you, Justin, at 9.30 in the morning, or our second day, yeah, that's it. They know, they just don't care. This is what makes liberals vote for their own self-destruction. Where am I going with this? Folks, I'm seeing this infection spread on our side too and I cannot tell you enough how dangerous this is. Once you get into a post-truth political ecosystem where post-truth meaning the truth and evidence doesn't matter to you, you'd have nothing but anarchy left. Because nobody who tells you anything is going to be believed. So why would you vote at all? That is the point with a lot of the duma slop out there. Incredibly, I really debated putting this in the show. Again, I'm just being candid with you because there's no time for this. There's just no time. Did we have two plus weeks left into a critical election where your countries at stake and I asked you to go and take it? But incredibly, instead of encouraging people to fight the socialist, the Islamophonatics, there are people who, many of you, thought were your friends, it podcasts the stand-in elsewhere, doing everything they can to demoralize you two weeks before an election. And I can't believe that the receipts don't matter to the followers. I know these people are liars 'cause we have the evidence, but for some reason, some of these folks, it just doesn't matter. They're going to walk off, I hate the Lemmings analogy 'cause that's not actually, Lemmings don't actually do it like that. But there are people who will drink that Kool-Aid despite watching everyone around them die. Here's what I mean. While I do understand liberal media hypocrisy, I do not understand why people continue to listen to this drivel from Tucker about me, despite the fact that I have repeatedly challenged him to just produce the evidence he claims to have and he refuses to do it while I put out the evidence directly contradicting him. And there are still followers of this guy who are like, (laughing) Yeah, man, I believe him. Despite no evidence and evidence to the contrary, I don't care about evidence, okay? I can't help you, join the Liberals. So this happened the other day he went on a podcast and again, his claiming that President Trump is involved in a big conspiracy with me and Cash to oddly enough, fellas, cover up his own assassination. I, I, it's, then that sounds stupid. I did, it's because it is. So he, again, he's claiming for the, I don't know, 20th time, I've got some text showing that President Trump buried and closed the investigation of his own assassination. Really? Because I've asked them to show the text and beg them my, 'cause I actually have the text. They were with me. I'll show you coming up next. And I'd love to see Tucker actually respond, but he won't. This is a hat tip, milk bar TV, a great channel. Showing you how I've repeatedly tried to show you how Doomer's Slop has no other purpose than to demoralize you before an election. Follow the path that Charlie, not the people attacking him. Get out there, bring 10 people. Don't fall for this crap, check this out. - And then something changed. And it changed, I think, during the summer of 2024, I think it changed in July with the butler shooting. I knew Dan Bungino very well. And I, I knew Cash Patel and I called them both and said we got this information from a random person who found it on the internet. My tech guy's checked it, it's real. And it shows that Thomas Crooks had a social media profile and I have part of it. And they immediately attacked me. They attacked me. And I, you know, and I'm not being whineier or self-pitting or anything, but I was confused because I, you know, what did I do wrong? But rather than help me, they attacked me. And that's when I started pulling on that thread and found out that it was Trump who would shut down the investigation to the butler shooting. - Making an allegation, claiming to have evidence in techs, which I'll now show you my techs. 'Cause I have them too, I think you forgot that. And I'm gonna show you how the secret information he claims to have, I'm gonna make public. So now it's not secret. So I have the receipts. He has not yet displayed these, I will. Because I'll show you how what he's telling you in this clip that there's some investigation at the butler that's been shut down. I'm gonna bring the receipts to show you all of this is fake. Tucker fans or anyone else. Do you see anything in this techs declaims to have that says the president shut down the investigation? He's just making this up. If you choose to listen to this NEPO baby imbecile after this, that's on you. And then the obvious question, any rational person would ask is, why would you shut down an investigation into your own attempted murder? And I still can't think of an answer other than, you know exactly who attempted to kill you and you've made some accommodation with them. What's the other answer? I can't find one. - He's just making this up. - Folks, I don't wanna burn any more time on this because he's not worth your time. I'm telling you, categorically, he's making this whole story up, including this complete total ridiculous characterization of that phone call. Here's another text you may not have seen between me and Tucker. When I was questioning his, you know what, 20th or 30th time he made this ridiculous claim about President Trump involved in a conspiracy to bizarrely cover up his own assassination. Do you get the subtext, by the way? The Jews did it. President Trump doesn't want you to know. You get where he's going with this? Here's what I sent him. Here's another one of the text. Because you're a liar of fraud and the charlatan and you derive pleasure from deception. And unlike you, I have evidence of all of this. I'm giving you permission on this text to publish the text you claim to have when you said which I still have. Tucker claims he said that, to leave the sub. Tucker said text which I still have. There, I'm giving him clear as day permission to publish him because I know he's full of crap. Text you claim, Tucker, that state the president told me to shut down the Butler investigation. You can't produce those stacks because you made it up but you know that already. If the truth doesn't matter to you, vote Democrat like he's telling him. He loves Al Sayed. This guy, that's his guy. He loves the Islamophonatics. He hates everything we fought for. And I'm just stunned some people are following for that. All right, moving on. I told you I don't want to burn a lot of time on that but I'm really proud you're here and you see through all this crap. Some ways, then, in more time on podcastes, then. Go out and vote, follow the advice of Charlie, go out and grab 10 people, go take your country back. It's yours. It's yours, go and take it. If you just show up like you did for president Trump in 2024, we will hold the House and the Senate by a wide margin. If you don't, your country is going to collapse quickly. I want to show you what I mean here too. I'm going to do this segment called the great to good knee ugly instead of the good to bad knee ugly. I want to talk about the great first because you do have an election coming up. This is a really terrific ad from a congressman from Texas Beth Van Dyne. She or she is pointing out the fight. Now, the reason I'm playing this ad is a lot of political consultants who don't know they're asked from their elbow. There are some good ones. I'm not making any kind of blanket insults to anyone. There are a lot of really good consultants. I've used them in the past and they were excellent. There are some who just sucked out. And I've seen this kind of thread. And I think it's coming from old school Republican consultants who don't understand the new technology. They're like, stop talking about the socialism threat. I even saw, I think it was a call of row of peace who said this argument's not going to go anywhere. Really? Man, you don't live in South Florida. And what about people who grew up in the Berlin Wall and people who've been from, whether you know what, portions of the old Yugoslavia in communist countries, this is a real threat. Here's Beth Van Dyne in a great, about a minute ad. I encourage all of you to actively talk about this socialist threat and use their own words against them. It's how you paint a contrast using snapshots and soundbites. This is great. Check this out. They're coming. I am a Democratic socialist. A socialist mayor in New York City. Fuck it up and defund in the police has to happen. Radicals. Who want to defund the police and open our borders? I'm Beth Van Dyne. We tell ourselves this won't happen in Texas. The truth is, they're already here. If you are OK with getting taxed more, you are welcome to join this movement that we are building. I'm Beth Van Dyne, and it's time to stop the socialists. I approve this message. Let's fight back. Folks, I'm really sorry, but a really crappy group of consultants-- again, it's not all of them, but years ago told us, after the Romney election, a group of people used to me with who were die-hard concerns and we laughed. They were like, don't ever talk about immigration again. Donald Trump made it the staple of his 45 campaign. What? In an electoral college landslide. They don't know everything. The threat of socialism is real. Why would you not talk about it? The threat to your wallet, the threat to your national security, to your individual liberty, to your freedom of speech as we opened up the show in. That's all on the ballot. Why would you not bring that up? This one, I'm just throwing in there. More of an entertainment portion. But in the entertainment community, you've seen a bunch of leftists who just like people who don't like receipts and follow podcasts to stand into the abyss. You're seeing this just like Zach Brion, that guy, and the Macklemore guy.
These guys don't know anything about geopolitics or anything jumping into the space. This is the good, though. I gave you the great. I'll give you the good. This is, I didn't see this coming at all. Do you remember Motley crew? Was it Tommy Leaves, Vince Neal? And was it Nikki Six? Am I right? Tell me in the chat. I grew up with Motley crew, a friend of mine knows Vince Neal really well. Here's Motley crew at a concert. This is the crazy thing about the concert league. Nobody wants you to go out there and lecture about politics on either side. They just want to hear you sing. Thankfully, just like Metallica we played yesterday, Motley crew gets it too. Check this out. >> It does not matter to Motley crew. If you're a Republican, it does not matter to Motley crew, if you're a Democrat. It does not fucking matter if you're gay or if you're straight, or if you're going right down the center of the fucking lane in life. >> Because we're all in this together, can we? >> What is so hard about this? Andrew gave me the head, this is it hard. If I'm not telling you in sports, you have to shut up. You have a Constitution right to speak out. If you're an entertainment, singing, acting, sports, they tend to lie, well, not so much in sports. But in acting and musicians, they tend to lean left. I'm just telling you, people are not there to buy your political opinions. They are buying your time. That's what they're buying. When I go to a country music concert to see Bailey Zimmerman or whoever it may be, I'm buying his time. In his time, he sings. That's what he does well. I choose to hear him sing live because I like to enter the spirit realm. Okay, I'm not there for his opinion on freaking Palestine, which he's never offered his concerts are great. It's not hard. So I had to grate the good. This is the ugly. I had to change the title of today's show and I promise you, I don't do clickbait titles. If I do, I call myself out because sometimes I'll read it later and I'm like, I hate those titles. I hate them, I can't stand them, you'll hook someone in. But ladies and gentlemen, this may be the worst interview I've ever seen for a candidate. Of course, it's a Democrat. This is Democrat candidate for Fayette County Council in Indiana. Have you seen this? This is Democrat Jamie West had to live the TikTok giant for, I saw this other account. This may be one of the worst interviews I've ever seen, folks. I don't know what the hell is going on here, but I promise you. We did our homework, correct guys? We are 99.99 repeating decimal sure that this is actually real, it's definitely not AI, that this is not a skit. This is an actual Democrat. You want to vote for this or you want to vote for sanity? Check this out. One decision that I would make that might not be popular, maybe unpopular with some voters, but is in the best interest of the county. Firing on Republicans, I wouldn't let them, I mean, I don't even talk to them, I don't like them. I mean, they voted against our stone state representative voted against her own party. I mean, when do you want me to say, I don't like being around them. I mean, y'all did this to us, you all voted for us. You made this happen, this ice coming into our communities, stealing people's jobs. I mean, you know, there are good Republicans out there, they didn't know she's magas, who are just racist and aren't very intelligent at all. They call you names, they, you don't share, if you threaten to blow my name. My head off, but, you know, what are you going to do? Well, that brings us to your opportunity to say just a few last words to, to the voters. We have guns too. All right, well as a reminder, the general election is November 3rd or. What the, what's that, folks, that is real. By the way, if you're listening, mommy, if this, folks, if there was ever a motleyma in the chat, motley's for Jamie West, you've given us material forever, I don't allow flags, you've given us material forever. What was, even the moderators like, is this real? What was your, we have guns too, the moderators like, okay, okay. And what is with the slurring of the words? As we say in New York, we are well aware of that. Well yes, this woman is, this is very frightening with this woman. I'm a big second amendment guy. I'm just telling you, this woman is weird. We say in New York, I'm not saying, I'm just saying, what is with the slurring of the words? Did something happen before this interview? Get checked out. I don't know what the hell just happened there. You see why he changed the title of today's show? It was an example of what we're up against, but seriously, just turning back before I get to my guest, Sarah Carter, who is doing an incredible job as our drugs are incredible. You know her. She has been with you through thick and thin. The spy gate hoax, the Russia hoax, she's been on the border in war zones as a journalist and she's got a warning for parents. I just want to say again, your country is on the ballot. I don't engage in cheap hyperbole. I'm not running. I don't. I'm not a consultant to benefits from your vote or that I'm just a guy who really deeply cares about that flag standing or standing over my right shoulder there. Your country's on the ballot. Please go and take it. The numbers are there. Don't believe in the Democrat media narratives and the doomer's slop narratives that everybody who went into government who you voted to put in power magically wanted to power and turned against you. Yeah, you're right. I definitely needed some money. We were hard on cash, Jasmine. And she's like, yeah, man, you guys were really struck like no, all of this stuff is garbage. It's filth. It's an insult to the integrity and character of people like Sarah, President Trump, Rubio and others who put their lives on hold to serve the public and are doing a bang up job over two years. Your country is on the ballot. The alternative is frightening and talk about the threat of socialism and the threat to your freedom of liberty. And remember, Tom Sauer, Charlie Kirk was murdered and you're thinking about sitting out the midterms. What the is wrong with you. Thank you, Tom, for the reminder. We really appreciate that. That's why I opened up the show with that segment today. Don't sit this one out. Folks, you know, we do a comment of the day every day because we love our audience. We love our listeners. We pick a comment right before our interview today. We'll take a quick break and get to Sarah Carter. We give away once a week, $1,776 to one lucky listener review. We just have to join the live chat at 10am Eastern time every single day. If you're a comment is picked, you got a chance of the money, official rules, bongino.com/1776. If you want to read those, our comment of the day today is Sam Smow, nothing worse than a big heaping bowl of doom or slop. Brother, I could not agree with you more, could be sister Sam can go either way there, but Sam, this is all an op. I just hope you see it. And based on the huge audience, we keep bringing every single day, I can only surmise based on our own receipts that you are seeing through all this crap. And it's going to become more transparent over time. Folks, the Democrats, Socialists of America, won primaries across the country, next, they're coming to Congress. If they win the midterms, they'll reform the police and undo the border control. Controls and let men into women's sports, you don't want that. You are the last line of defense and GOPvotes.org is your partner in the fight. Go to GOPvotes.org now and make a plan to vote early. If you live in the critical Senate battleground states of Maine, Ohio or Iowa, early voting is already underway this week. Democrats are energized and the stakes have never been higher. We can't afford to have people in Congress who identify as democratic socialists and their cronies running the country. That's why I need you to make a plan to vote early, bank that vote right now. Go to GOPvotes.org to find your polling location, vote early and stop the Socialist takeover of America perfect timing for this GOPvotes.org. Paid for by Senate Leadership Fund PAC, not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee. I am really elated to welcome to the show.
So not only an amazing friend, an amazing person, not only it all choked up, but an amazing journalist in an era where that's become a dirty word, not in her case. You know her from the Russia hoax exposing all this crap, the border, sorry for the long intro, the great Sarah Carter, but she is now your drugs are head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy and doing a spectacular job. Sarah, welcome to the show. Hey, thank you for having me on, Dan. It's great to be with you. It's great to see your face. It's great to hear you. You're such an American patriot. Thanks for the great introduction, but without you, without you and the FBI, without you fighting the good fight here at home every single day, you know, we would not be where we are at today. So thank you for everything you've done and everything you're doing. That is incredible coming from someone I respect so much like yourself. I really appreciate it. And you know, Sarah, you are, the drugs are as commonly known, you know, been movies about this position, you know, traffic and all these other movies. You are the one out there basically reporting to the president on the entire ecosystem of what the illegal drug trade looks like. So you're dealing with FBI, DEA, US marshals, local police, ICBP, you're dealing with everything. You're getting the full picture. You know that the war on drug deaths, I'm not going to tell you had been seated that people gave up, but there was kind of an apathy that's set in, in, in Democrat administrations and even some Republican administrations in the past, like, you know, we're going to go out there and do the ceremonial fight, but nothing's going to happen. You've been in there appointed by President Trump and look what happened, a, an unbelievable and thank Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, an unbelievable 40% drop in drug overdose deaths. That is a real difference, people are actually alive today thanks to this administration's leadership and yours as well. And, and Dan, it's a continuing trajectory down. So we're not just seeing, it wasn't just like a big chunk, and it started at 40%. We saw a continuing trajectory in downward deaths. We're still seeing it. We're monitoring that very closely with the CDC and all of our partners, every three letter agency you can imagine. Why is this different because President Trump is treating it as it should have been treated decades ago, going back to 1971, when Reagan, when Richard Nixon declared the war on drugs, he should have done this, should have happened at the very beginning. We're treating it as America's longest war. We're treating it as a war, not a, a happen stance, not this is just the way things are. This is just addiction. This is just use of drugs, no, because we've seen it evolve from the use of drugs and addiction to as all of the sudden blossoming into targeting of our, of our people, the American people with poison. That means our children are being poisoned. We are seeing, we are seeing a reduction in the poisoning deaths as well as the addiction deaths. But our children were being murdered and our people were being murdered. And we're not allowing the cartels. By the way, nor are enemy states to operate within punity anymore. It's over for them. It's done. You saw that in the FBI. We're seeing it across the board, even with the DOW. And by the way, the way HHS is handling it as well. Sarah, we're talking to Sarah Carter, our drugs are under President Trump. You know, Sarah, one of the things I tried to explain to people that I noticed at the last year of the FBI, but also during my time as a commentator in this, in this space on crime and other things, is this drug war is different. Listen, there's always been overdoses from the tragic case of Len bias. I mean, every, there's been overdoses forever on drugs from cocaine to crack. We get that. It's an overall tragic. This is different. You've got kids now going on to Snapchat or TikTok, ordering what they think is a percussette or a Xanax. And it's not. It is a one pill death sentence. That's a completely different fight. That's why I've tried to emphasize to people, even if you're a libertarian or an anarchist completely, this is a different drug war. And President Trump and I know you and Cash and I understood this as well as the DEA leadership. This is a totally different fight. This is your regular warfare. That's what this is. This is, you know, unrestricted warfare. This is what our enemies have planned on us. It's the Trojan horse, right? You don't have to fight wars on battlefields in this century, right? Not even in the past. You could infiltrate a nation without its even capability or knowledge to fight back until it's too late. And what we said is no more. We know where the precursor chemicals are coming from. We know they're coming from China. We know they're coming from India. We know they're not being globally scheduled. We're insisting on global scheduling. We want our supply chains to be clean. That means from the point of origination to destination, clean supply chains. And if a private industry needs to be accountable, and if they're not going to do it, we're going to make sure that they're being held accountable. The nation states that these precursor chemicals are coming from, whether that's China, whether that's India, whether that's Pakistan, whether it's some other nation state that is allowing this to happen, we are going to call them out and we're going to hold them accountable. I did that in Vienna, in front of the UN, I gave my speech. I was very clear to China at that time, you know, we will no longer tolerate that. That was at the beginning of this year. The President pushed, this is President Trump's policy. This is because of him that we're able to do this. Thank God. And President Trump pushed. And now we're seeing that under President Xi and China, we are seeing that there is global scheduling taking place of these precursor chemicals. Is it enough? No, it's never enough, because we understand that all they have to do is fiddle with an analogue, fiddle with the chemistry, and something new can come out. But we're staying ahead of them, Dan, and how are we doing that? Through the National Drug Control Strategy that I released earlier this year, which I hope outlives and outlasts all of us, because I put chapter one, emerging threats. That means we are monitoring emerging threats consistently through our wastewater testing, through our hospitals, through our first responders, and monitoring the supply chain. And that is what is most important. We want to cut off the cartels at the past. We want to cut off our enemy states at the past. I don't want a Trojan horse in our country. Look at what we saw. My gosh, over 1.5 million people, and that's on the low end of what we know, have been killed over the years with the illicit drugs in our country. And that's including the poisonings that you're talking about. I can't tell you how many parents, Dan, that I speak to every single day. Every single day that tell me my child was on Snapchat or on some social media app, and they ordered what they thought was an out-of-all. They thought it was going to help them with their homework. They were in college. They were in high school. They were in middle school. And they never, ever came back. They passed away in their room. You know, can you imagine being a parent and walking into the sanctity of your own home, the place where your child is supposed to be the safest? And you find them on the floor of their bedroom, dead, murdered by pills, by pills by the way that are pure poison. They are not Adderall, they are not Xanax, they are not Perkuset, they are pure poison. And, you know, really quickly, to understand how much poison is out there, Dan, it's not just fentanyl, you know, one of the things that we were able to do with our emerging threats and testing our, you know, our sanitation systems. So we're not violating any fourth amendment rights for anybody out there. We're not going into your house, you know, and testing your wastewater directly. We're testing the sanitation sites throughout the United States. One of the things we saw in the Northeast was metatomidine. Metatomidine. You know, it's a, it's a rhino trink, right? It's a rhinoceros tranquilizer. We noticed that there were people that had been coming into the, into the emergency rooms, they were OD, there was something different about what was happening with them. The Narcan wasn't working and what we discovered was that it was metatomidine. So we sent out a nationwide alert to let all of our first responders know and the hospitals know, hey, look, metatomidine is in the United States. Being adulterated into these pills. Let's test for it. If somebody is OD, use more Narcan on them, be able, you know, use and emphasize that. Use more Narcan. We saw that. We saw Zyla Zee. We saw orphans. We issued for the first time in the history of O N D C P, three alerts across the United States this year on those drugs to stay ahead of the emerging threats. That's how important this is not only for me, but for the president of the United States. And that's why you're seeing these deaths go down also getting the word out to our kids, letting them know that primary prevention is important. But who wants to be enslaved to drugs, right? Who wants to be enslaved and chained to a lifetime of addiction and unhappiness? So we're teaching the kids to look at life a different way, you know? To live life to the fullest extent that they possibly can to be limitless with their life. You don't need to go to a party and use drugs to have a good time. You know, life is going to open up for you. You're going to be able to live and live out your dreams as long as you're not shackled to these drugs. And now we're seeing the lowest
rates of drug use among youth since 1992. So not only are we shutting down the supply from the cartels, are you are choosing not to use drugs the way that we've seen over the past, you know, especially under Biden over the past 10 years, but we are seeing over the last since 1992, more than 20 years, this is the lowest drug use among our youth. And I think it comes to the point where we care, we're telling our children, look, we care about you, we're telling our nation, we care about you, you come first, the national security of our country comes first, America comes first, people are getting it, they're feeling it and they're reacting to it. We're talking to Sarah Carter, the head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, also known as the drugs are Sarah, you know, this what you as a former actual journalist, not a fake news specialist, you did actual journalism work at the border and elsewhere, you came into the position with a different perspective. I think you can acknowledge that if this were a non-Donald Trump presidency, a Democrat or even some moderate Republican they love like a Mitt Romney type now, whatever, this would be a global story, 40% drop in overdose deaths, a massive drop in crime, murder, a drug dealing, burglary, home invasions, a massive drop. The only reason, what we call the mainstream media refuses to cover this, the only explainable reason is because it was under Donald Trump's leadership. Now I'm going to help the media out and because you were part of this massive law enforcement push in the first couple of years of this incredible Trump presidency so far, here are some things we did that I just like you to address, the FTO designation, the foreign terror organization designation of drug cartels gave this federal and they are terror organizations. They're murdering our kids by the day, by the thousands at one point, they are terror organizations. That was huge. Second, the use of tidal aid, emergency removal operations in the mass deportation of criminals in this country, many of whom were dealing drugs. Third, the FBI, Marshall's DOJ push for a broken window style type of policing, where we were like, hey, we're just going to go out and help the NYPD out on unsolved murders or attempted murder cases. Well, maybe the federal government does, no, the federal government does have a role in that and we made sure the FBI nudged its way into that and now you see with these couple of items that these are actual things under the leadership of this president. These would be huge stories elsewhere, but they're not because it's president Trump. It's really sad. It is really sad and it is massive change in how we're doing things, right? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Well, we said no more. We're not going to do that anymore and the cartels expected that. I mean, I think they laughed at us for a long time, right? I mean, think about the amount of energy and manpower we have spent on this war and getting nowhere and getting nowhere because we weren't following the rule of law. What is the rule of law? We shut down the border. We untied the hands of our law enforcement and I traveled the country. I'm here in Texas. I made a stop off at home. I'm heading to Dallas, Fort Worth to meet with angel families. Actually today, I'll be heading out there. I'm driving, right? I'm heading out there. I want to meet with the families. I'm on the road at the grassroots level. I talked to law enforcement. I talked to U.S. attorneys. I'm with the AG all the time. I'm with the FBI, our Homeland Security Task Forces, which is a whole new way of looking at this, which is saying, hey, we are going to work together as a joint terrorism task force, but not the way we had normally. We are including all of our local and state and we are going after the worst of the worst. That means we are going to extract the worst of the worst out of our nation. We are not only going to deport the bad guys, but we're going to find the people in the country that are distributing the drugs that are working closely with these cartels overseas and we are going to make them pay. The not only are we doing that overseas on an international level, Dan, I can tell you this. I was just in Colombia. I went there for the inauguration of President de la Estrea, who is, thank God, the new president of Colombia is working for radical yoga. This is incredible. I was in Argentina on the ground. I delivered a speech before the International Drug Enforcement Conference held by Administrator Terry Cole there and I was able to get the message across to the entirety of the international law enforcement community. That is everybody from, I could say from the Persian Gulf, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia all the way to every nation in South America and every nation in the Western Hemisphere and tell them, look, the United States, this is Team US and we are going to clear the Western Hem and eradicate these cartels out of our nation and then out of our hemisphere and then hopefully off the face of the globe. Because we have too much to do as human beings, then to allow these cartels to run over us and railroad our nations, destroy our nations, destroy our children and take us away from the real work that we need to be doing. The Western Hemisphere should be the jewel of the world. We have everything. We've got resources, oil, minerals, culture, history, everything. The only thing that stops us from being this beautiful jewel of the planet is these cartels and criminal enterprises and we are going to destroy them. Now also want to point out that this battle doesn't come without cost and you know this stand because you've been in law enforcement your entire life. You understand the great sacrifices that our law enforcement officials pay when they fight these guys because they are terrorists. They are scum of the earth. They are nothing but the worst of the worst. They don't care about our children. They don't care about you and they certainly don't care about law and order. That's why we're going after them. But Hayden Phillips, a Kentucky state trooper, lost his life last week. Lost his life last week on a highway, on a highway as he was pulling over. He pulled over what he believed to be somebody with expired tags. He probably had a gut feeling that something was off. He had just joined what ONDCP, our office of national drug control policy, our Haida team out there. So our high intensity drug trafficking area team had been with them for only a month. Pulls this guy over, goes up to the car and then is executed point blank on the highway. Here's a guy two days away from his 29th birthday, three people, a beautiful wife, and now they are left alone. So this comes with a price. The bravest of the brave, you know, stand up to these despicable, nefarious organizations that have made their money off the blood of our citizens and off our nation. And thank God, thank God for President Trump, for people like you, Dan, for people like cash, for people like Terry Cole, for everyone working together, Steven Miller, everyone working together, you know, to eradicate our nation of these criminals and to set a new standard. And it's tough. It's going to be a tough fight. You know, people always ask me, "Are you afraid? Are you afraid of, you know, you make a lot of statements on, you know, Spanish television, when you're overseas against these cartels?" And I said, "No, sure, everybody's afraid. Everybody wants to come in contact with these monsters, right?" But that's what allowed these nefarious organizations to fester and grow into the cancer that they have been. Is because we have not set a standard and said, "No more. We are going to work together. We might not always agree. We might not always think that, you know, this idea is the best idea, so we are going to find a way to work together and we're doing it, and we are going to fight them together. That means every single angel family who's lost a kid, every single cop on the beat, everybody up to the president of the United States. We are a family. We are one nation, regardless of our political divide, regardless of, except maybe if you're talking about Ilhan Omar or Mam Donnie. Maybe I can put those guys to the side, but, you know, that type. But everybody else, we're together and we're going to fight them and they're not going to have room to move. They are never going to sleep another night. They are going to be with one eye open for the rest of their damn lives, wondering who's coming after them because we are done with them. It's over. Just like you took care and cash took care of Kensington, you know, and pool rooting out the bad guys. That is what we're going to do everywhere around the globe. We're just going to pull them out, the bad roots, and we are going to throw them away like the garbage they are that, you know, I'm glad you brought up Kensington. We're talking to Sarah Carter, our drugs are. Sarah, when I had first gotten into the FBI, the announcement came in February. I got to work right away and I remember reading a Wall Street Journal op-ed and I forget the gist of it, but there was a mention of this open air drug market. It's somewhere in New York City that was just, it was not only an eye sore, but was a public safe.
a safety disaster for the community, and how it had just fastered. So I get in there, and I used to do these SAC calls, the special agents in charge of all the offices, and I would do it once a month, I would meet with each of them. So every week I would meet with a quarter of the country. And I said, guys, ladies, I don't wanna see the same. We're going into these open air drug markets. You know, get in touch with DEA, everyone else. And we're just gonna clean it up. And I said, bring in the bear cats, bring in our ERT teams. I don't really care. And I had called one of the members of the leadership team in our Philadelphia office, and they said, hey, Dan, there's this Kensington drug market that has been a cancerous, open, rotting sore in the community forever. We've got a case, we're ready to roll. So I'm glad you brought that up because I want people to understand your work, President Trump's work, the great DEA, and the FBI agents who went in there and cleaned that place up, that you've seen what it looks like before and after this Kensington drug market. This is real, like touchable, feelable material difference. Thanks to the leadership team and charge of your government now. - Oh, absolutely. It's a complete difference. And I mean, they're working day in and day out. It's gonna take some time, but we saw a complete difference. I was just there recently in Kensington. I'd been there many times before. And I couldn't even walk through the sidewalk years ago, because there would be so many bodies on the sidewalk. There was so much drugs being sold, people, OD, it's horrible, it's horrific. I would see children getting off the school bus and then trying to walk over the bodies as they would get home. People that were laying on the sidewalks. Sometimes we'd have to shake them just to see if they were alive. And the cops would have to do that. Now I can tell you, it's a lot different. We have a police station in Kensington. It's amazing. To see the pen police, they're right, to have a station writing Kensington, where they can make a difference. And this is a tough job for a cop, because there's still drugs on the street. Why? And you brought it up. You call it the drug market. It's this harm reduction issue that we've been dealing with in our country. It's not harm reduction. I call it let's lead people to death, right? Because that's what these NGOs are doing. I want people to live. I want to get people off the street, give them another chance, get them into treatment. Look, and if they've made the choice or if they're too far gone, we've got to find medical treatment for them. We can't have them on the streets endangering our children or endangering themselves. But you have NGOs operating in some of these states. I saw it in California, I saw it here. They're handing out pipes, they're handing out foil. I've got cops telling me, hey, look, I would arrest people for having this type of paraphernalia on them. And I've got NGOs passing them out on the streets right now so that people that are arrested, which is crazy and insane. And by the way, sometimes the states would actually offer it. That that would be the craziest I'd ever see. But right now we're seeing a difference. And I walked through Kensington and I talked to families. I talked to one mother. This is an incredible story. She's from Puerto Rico. She has lived there almost her entire life. She can't afford to move out. She's a single mom. She told me this horrific story about her child. When he was five, he's now in middle school. I had a chance to meet him too. And she said, when he was five years old, he had gone over to the park right across. They called it needle park. And he had gone over to the park with one of the relatives to go play on the swings and have some time outside of the house and a woman who was completely out of her mind with a needle in her hand ran up and stabbed her five-year-old son with a dirty needle. She said, it was so terrifying that for the next three years of her child's life, she had to take her kid to the doctors every three months, every six months for blood tests to ensure that her child didn't have HIV, didn't contract it, or didn't contract hepatitis. So it was a big deal. It took a lot of her life. She said, now she said, please, more police, more FBI raids, whatever you can do. She said, the community has changed since your operation. And it's changing for the better. This used to be a community where people could shop, could walk with their kids. They would go to school. It's an everyday, used to be middle class America, right? Community, right? Talk to cops who remember when they were kids and their moms would take them out and they'd go shopping in Kensington. America should not look like Kensington. In fact, no place on planet Earth should look like Kensington and the way it was years ago. This is what I talk about when I talk about the Trojan horse, right? It was almost as if we were blindsided or we slept through what was happening in our nation. Not only did we have an opioid crisis, and of course, we all know the story about that, Purdue Pharmaceuticals, all of the stories that have come out, the addiction, a lot of opioids being prescribed by doctors, and then the cartels, of course, taking advantage of that, and saying, wow, we've got a bunch of addicts in the United States. Now, they're not just in urban communities where we were hyper-focused on at the beginning of ONDCP, Andrew William Bennett, which was the focus on crack cocaine and heroin use. At back then, 12,000 to 15,000 overdose deaths a year, if that. Instead, we ended up with hundreds of thousands of Americans losing their lives to the tune of 1.5 million, and then under the Biden administration, that number sword damned to over 112,000 people in one year, and I still think those numbers are low. And now we're seeing the trajectory go back. Why? Because we are actually taking on the cartels as FTOs, and we're actually working together. But no place on earth should look like Kensington. That is the definition of a war zone. No mother should be terrified to take her child to a park, to play no matter how poor, no matter how rich. It doesn't matter. Socioeconomic doesn't matter. I've traveled the world just as you have. I spent a good portion of my career covering the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And even in war zones, I never saw something quite like what I saw in Kensington, like what I've seen in Oregon, in some places in Oregon, in some places in Seattle, in San Francisco, yeah, even some places here in my home state of Texas in San Antonio. We have to change the way we think. And I know we're doing that. I know we're doing that. But it has to be long lasting for the future of this nation and for our children and for our children. I'm getting older. I've got kids. I've got grandkids. I do not want to leave this world unless I've made it a better place for them. I'll feel better about meeting my maker one day. If I know in my heart, I did everything I could to give them a better life. And that's what we have to do. That's what we have to do. And we have to remember, first and foremost, that we are Americans. I look behind me and I see the flags. And I see things that my husband and I have all around me, actually, that my husband and I have done the sacrifices that my family's made, the sacrifices that you've made, the sacrifice that Kentucky state trooper Hayden Phillips made, when he gave his life for this nation, that means something, that means something. And we should never forget that. Sarah, I can't thank you enough for doing this interview for the sacrifice you made, your own safety, your time. These are not easy positions. I applaud anyone and everyone who steps up and puts aside a comfortable life for this. You're doing an incredible job that dropping over those deaths is one of many headline numbers that, again, would be a huge story in any other administration, thanks to the leadership of President Trump and picking fine people like yourself. Sarah Carter, thank you so much for joining us today. We really appreciate it. Thank you so much, Dan. You got it, folks. That's a real American patriot right there. I mean, through her work at journalism, you saw-- I mean, you know her from the Russia hoax. That was not the start of Sarah Carter's career. She's reported from war zones, the boyder. She's an actual journalist, and not in the slurway journalist supply it to themselves in the fake news media. And now our drugs are. And those are some really amazing results. And parents just, I'd give you a piece of advice, take her morning seriously. When your kids say mom, I know dad, mom, you said this to me a thousand times about drugs and pills. I get it, say it a thousand one. And then say it again the next day. Until the point they're so annoyed, they don't even think about taking a pill from someone known source other than a doctor.
