you see he's right and right there let me tell you something who actually uh shopped your medicaid plan for you for most people the honest answer is nobody you pick something years ago or somebody picked it for you and it's been quietly been getting more expensive ever since millions of americans are on the wrong medicare plan and you don't even uh know how it happened it's not your fault most agents make more money steering you towards certain plans so that's what they show you chapter doesn't work that way chapters advisors are the only medicare advisors who are going to be the ones that

show about butler and the multiple assassination attempts on president trump that i think is critical please stay tuned for that in the beginning but just first i want to recognize someone who is really important to me well what happened uh folks you know when when people pass who are close to me i want to recognize someone who is really important to me i want to recognize to you i had this happen very recently with uh a family member of mine that was really traumatic for me but i considered this guy a family member of mine too his name is andrew padula he was in a really horrific accident and he passed i've known him for well over 10 years i choose to celebrate people's lives um god takes people for all kinds of reasons we'll never understand this was my campaign for congress all the yellow shirts out there i'm not going to say that i'm not going to there. That was Andrew right there waving. He had a horrific car accident and he's with Jesus now. So Andrew, thank you for everything you did for us. I'm just going to tell you something. If you ever run a campaign for office, you need an Andrew Padula. Campaigns are ugly business, folks. I was talking to Jasmine about this this morning. People will do anything to win. You need a, let's call him a bouncer on your campaign. Those of you who run for office know what I mean. I'm not talking about anything illegal at all. I'm just saying if there was a ninja on the campaign, it was Andrew Padula. He sent me a box cutter with no razor one time and I knew exactly what he was talking about. Some of you worked on my campaign will get that. Rest in peace, brother. I'm going to miss you. Andrew Padula. Sad you get older, man. Right in the chat, you hit your 40s and 50s and, you know, I'm not at my 60s yet, but people, you just start losing people around you. I don't pretend to know the reasons why. Okay. I wanted to address something quick and I want to say, I say this with no malicious intent. I want to address something again. I addressed earlier about Butler, the Butler assassination attempt and candidly, all the assassination attempts around President Trump. It's sad we have to talk about like, well, which one? Because this has come up quite a bit and I want to say clearly and decisively, as clear as scotch tape, I am not in any way mad, disappointed, upset at all about people asking questions at all. Matter of fact, I'm elated. The entire purpose of having a government by consent of the governed, I can't say this clearly enough, is that the government works for us. You should, you're obligated as a dutiful American citizen. I don't care if it's in a podcast, radio, TV, journalist, plumber, HVAC guy, military, you're obligated to ask questions. That's the whole purpose. However, I saw this this morning from a guy I know not that well, but well enough. I, you know, had him on my show quite a bit. I don't think I've ever done his show. Matt Walsh, you know him from the Daily Wire. And I saw this this morning and the only thing I was, I was disappointed in in this tweet is the implication here and the ongoing kind of veiled attacks on my integrity when it comes to these things. So throw up the tweet this morning. FBI dumps bizarre new details about Trump assassination attempt. What else are they hiding? It's again, I'm not upset at anyone. I can't say this enough at all, not even a little bit. However, I have my number at the Daily Wire. If you're implying that I'm hiding something or again, have some role and some cover up, why would I on my, what is it, Monday or Tuesday show, Justin? Why would I have publicly called for an independent commission, independent of the FBI? I get why to Matt and others, I fully understand why people don't trust government institutions. You don't even need, there's no net, no clarification. I don't trust them. They trust, but verify. Independent commission, review all the work. I'm calling for that myself. Please. I think it's a fantastic idea. Congressional hearings on all of it. And at some point, a press conference should happen that I was exaggerating. My sister be 40 hours long, but I'm not really exaggerating. The press conference should go on if it has to all day. Ask every single question you can. However, the information is not new. I don't know why people keep saying this. It was turned over by Cash and I in March. We already showed you the Fox News piece. Why did Grassley's office not release? I don't know. You have to ask them. There, here's the article right there from just the other day. The records were turned over to Chuck Grassley, Senator in March. You have to ask Chuck Grassley why they didn't. I don't, I want to make a couple more points on this again. Again, please, continue to ask questions. Please. I'm begging you. I'm imploring everyone. This commission would be a great idea I think it's an amazing idea so you can get the answers you need you however with with Matt and others you could have just asked me and I would have explained how a lot of what was said in the video we did in the podcast a lot is inaccurate again it was six months ago it's not new and I really reject again these constant attacks on my integrity as if I gave up the greatest job in the world time with my wife and kids to go live in a city I'm not really that crazy about Washington DC I moved out of Maryland and Washington DC the Delmarva area for a reason and I somehow went there to be engaged in a cover-up against my good friend the president United States who called during the show yesterday is it's just really out of bounds you could have just called I get like the clickbait stuff and others I'm the one calling for that you should have as now however I need to explain one more thing and this is important for everyone even the trolls who love to join the chat and say dumb stuff if you actually do your homework you'll figure out that everyone in the administration who knows me has acknowledged in many cases publicly that I was a huge advocate for transparency just look it up look up my show we've shown it doesn't matter they've acknowledged this publicly so you're what you're saying is not true but second this is the bad news and this is where I again why I'm not mad at anyone I'm really not for asking questions it's not my role to be mad I'm with you the questions come up often well why don't we know everything and here's the bad news folks you're never going to know everything in a law enforcement case oh my gosh how can you say that can I explain you are you interested if you're not then seriously tune out maybe you're not going to be interested you said no I want to know everything all the time in a law enforcement case why doesn't the NYPD New York State Troopers FBI and DEA just randomly dump entire criminal files we have this thing called FBI vault for you to read everything I'm going to explain that to you why there's always going to be an information asymmetry and people take advantage of that I don't know the answer this therefore something bad must have happened is the implication sometimes that is the case that is not the case here the reason you don't have every answer and they don't dump an entire criminal file every time is I'll just give you an analogy maybe it'll make sense say there's a bank robbery the FBI still investigates bank robbery they're rare but they do happen and the guy who robbed the bank emailed an HVAC repairman the day prior to fix his air conditioner the HVAC repairman the FBI goes out and investigate and say hey I don't know nothing about it I got an email from this guy John Smith he said I've my AC's broke I don't know anything about the bank robbery I showed up I fixed it he paid that may be in the case file because you usually do an email dump but you're not going to put out the guy's email and the guy's contact because you investigated it he has nothing to do with it and there's nothing that's you don't want the guy getting doxxed the guy had nothing to do with it I can't explain this to you enough that in the law enforcement space you want to take your rage out on me and cash and the administration everyone else it would be grossly irresponsible to dump an open file on the internet if we have no evidence whatsoever you were implicated in a crime I thought this was a republic I to the libertarians out there who I'm with you there's no bigger advocate look at what we did in the FBI and other stuff we didn't have to we did it because we're so concerned with liberty and freedom how is a republic if you even had some brief contact with some person man or woman who did something bad and now your name and address is out there on the internet there's always going to be an information asymmetry always sometimes it's a really bad thing there were information asymmetries at Russiagate that are very real and other stuff and are subject of an enormous investigation going on which is now public but it's not always something nefarious and the hard truth is you can't answer every question I told you these are level 10 problems I knew when I took this job and put my life on hold to go do it that I wasn't going to be able to say everything all the time because some of it was a road to nowhere and we're not going to dox innocent people but claiming like you know somehow we're involved in some cover-up me folks you might as well burn this whole thing down if we're going to elect people who've been trusted allies with you forever President Trump not I didn't get elected and they're going to appoint trusted allies and you think we went in there to engage in some conspiracy to screw you over I'm sorry like this show is never going to be a home for you and I'm really sorry you feel that way all right uh moving on I just I'm just getting a lot of texts a lot of people agree thank you you know who you are from saying that they do just want clicks I saw that in the chat thank you but I do agree that this case and assassination attempts on our president we need we need at this point if we're going to open the kimono this case I understand we're independent commission I'm I'm advocating it review everything please check the work check the work I want you to remember just you know moving on to some other stuff that don't ever forget like the work that's being done right now by the administration forget me and my role or anything else but the work being done by the Trump administration at the border on the economy and elsewhere that ladies and gentlemen there are real people involved in this you know there are real jobs being created with the new capital expenditure boom in the building in the United States again the jobless rate being the lowest in American history I was at a volleyball game for my daughter last night I ran into this uh wonderful man his daughter was playing on the opposing team he comes up to me and he's like man you know people are upset they just don't know about the good news you got to spread the word I said sir I got to tell you I have spread the word you got to help us spread the word too 10 10 and 10 this is just one microphone we got an election coming up jobless rate lowest in American history poverty rates lowest in American history average household income highest in American history I'm not telling you we don't have problems I'm just telling you it's up to you to be Paul Revere too this guy was such a wonderful man we had a good 20 minute conversation I had to go but I stayed extra time with him and I'm not telling you we don't have problems my wife was in a little bit of a rush but still I shouldn't say blame it I was I was in a bit of a rush I had to get home do some show prep so sorry Paul I may throw her under the bus but I told Michael you have to spread the word too I've already put this I did a whole show yesterday on this crime rate lowest in U.S. history murder rate lowest border crossings at nearly zero and I want you to remember this is impacting real people's lives I saw this on the White House account the rapid response 47 account I hadn't seen this before folks one of the first things we did over there is we engaged in a massive crackdown on violent crime by the way at the direction of President Trump who was he didn't care blue city red city green city he didn't care he wants you safe if you don't believe that that show is not for you I'm telling you it was priority number one why do you want to clean up D.C. one he's not running again two Washington D.C. voted like 99.9 repeating decimal against him and he's didn't spend his political capital cleaning up blue cities who will never vote for him like Memphis which was a heavy crime city so we went down there it was our first test case for the violent crime crackdown it was called Operation Viper you can look it up it's all public now we basically cleaned the city out of a large swath of its bad guys here's a resident a real person in real time saying hey man this made a real impact on our life we trimmed some of it down in the interest of time but I want you to remember this president and his leadership has impacted real people in the real world in real time check this out public safety should not be up for debate I don't care if you are a Republican I don't care if you are a Democrat we have children we have regular people they might not even be into politics that we care about each other's safety we have to live amongst each other in these communities and it shouldn't be up for a debate we all have to live amongst each other in these communities we all deserve peace our children deserve peace I went from being pregnant and homeless to my first child being in this home and we were welcomed with violence my children deserve peace and with the Memphis Safe Task Force being here we've finally been able to get that peace so with this partnership and with everything that we have going especially with change.org this is important to show our voice and to just show care this is what it's all about we just we if you're an American patriot if you love this country caring for our public safety should be number one I just want to add to that very eloquent just minute or so there on how real people's lives are being saved thanks to the leadership of this president you hear this a lot in politics I know you do like oh it's not a political issue and then what happens you guys they go on to bash like this is not a partisan issue not getting dead and keeping you alive the number one thing I want to add to that is if you're an American patriot if you love this country The number one rule of the Dan Bongino Show, don't get dead, not a political issue. How many times do I get to say this? President Trump has spent so much political capital cleaning up blue cities where the mayors and the communists in charge hate his guts. What is he doing this for? He's not running again. This guy cares about you. Attack his politics. You're free to do it. I don't. I like his politics. You're free to do that. But telling me this BS line like he doesn't care about that. You don't. No, you don't care. You're just angry at yourself and you're taking it out on an administration that cleaned up your streets to the safest levels we've ever seen in American history. Folks, we listen to me, man, please. Let me take a quick break. But on the other side of this, we don't want any more angel moms. What do you mean, folks? Angel moms who have lost their children, tragically, to illegal immigrant crimes. We don't want any more, correct? We don't want to develop more angel moms. I'm going to show you quick another thing, how President Trump, his leadership, Tom Holman, Christie, Mark Wayne, how people in the DHS, ICE and CBP, ERO, have done so much to protect their children. I don't want any more. We don't want any more. We honor, we honor these heroic patriots, these angel moms who have not just, after this tragedy, given up, they've gone and become advocates. But we, I think they would, we don't acknowledge, we don't want any more. We want to stop it. Real people are being affected by this. Real lives are being saved. Quick break. I'll show you what I mean. Again, numbers matter. Hey, there's weight loss injections. They're everywhere. But you know, a lot of people stop. They're a little worried about the side effects. They're not really interested in injections. Sometimes it's the cost. So I got a question early on from friends of mine. They were like, hey, Dan, you said you use a product to lose some weight. I did. I told him, listen, not a sob story. I'm into whatever. But after I went through the whole cancer thing, I was not eating good for the first time in my life because a lot of stuff made me sick. So I wind up eating, you know, breakfast cereal and stuff. I just wasn't eating a lot of healthy stuff. So if you go look at old videos, you'll see I bulked up and I'm not talking about muscle. I was about 238 pounds at my peak. It is not a good weight for me. My joints were hurting. So I called Miles. It actually happened from Brickhouse Nutrition. I said, Miles, you guys got something in the pipeline. He said, I do. You want to try it out? And I tried out this product, Lean. Fantastic product. I lost more than 38 pounds. I was about 200 now, but I never took any of these weight loss injections. This is the product I use. It worked amazing. People ask me all the time, does it work? Yes, it does. Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things as these weight loss shots, but do it naturally. Lean helped me tackle my hunger and help support steady energy without constant cravings. The product works. And Lean did something these injections don't. It helped my body turn fat into energy. So I burned fat instead of storing it. It was one of the best products I've ever tried. My favorite part, Lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not an injection. There's no prescriptions. There's no needles. I lost weight with Lean. I felt a lot better afterwards. So did my joints. And I believe you can too. This company's been with me a long time.

This president is making an impact on real people's lives. The biggest kitchen table issue of all, which are the only issues that matter in politics, the issues people talk about at their kitchen table and vote on, correct? The biggest kitchen table issue of all is public safety and crime. We were told for years, I gave a speech this week on Monday night. I gave a speech this week on Monday night. I gave a speech this at the Club 47 Club, and I brought up, I love Ronald Reagan, but Ronald Reagan, I got to tell you, folks, I love Reagan, was not really great on the border. He was dealing with Democrats in the House. I'm not, he had, listen, compromises had to be made. That's the art of politics. But Simpson, Mazzoli, and others were not great border policies. We were told forever, nobody's going to be able to shut down the border. It's impossible. Well, he did bring receipts. Okay, here's Tom Homan, the border czar, who, unlike Kamala Harris, I didn't go to the border, but I didn't go to Europe either. Tom Homan's actually the border czar. He's the border czar. He's actually been to the border. You think he's been there once or twice, Justin? Maybe, maybe once or twice, like a day. You think he's been there? Maybe. Tom, have you been to Europe? He's probably been to Europe. He's not even the Europe czar. Here's Tom Homan on Fox News with actual numbers. Receipts matter, right? No one's saying, trust me, bro. Nobody's saying that, ever. That's why with the other issue I told you, let's do an independent commission. No one's asking you to trust anybody. I'm literally calling for the opposite. Here's the numbers. Check this out. Whether it's ending TPS, whether it's looking at the pros that were given during the Biden administration, illegal pros, illegal entry to the United States, whether it's revetting all the refugees, we're looking at every loophole to, number one, protect this nation, protect our national security, and keep a secure border. ISIS is making a record number of arrests, historic number of arrests. June, record arrests. July beat June. August blew both those months out of water, and September's looking pretty damn good, too. Record arrests, record removal, safest border in the history of this country. President doing what he promised the American people. Promises made, promises kept. And with all of this, looking at the fraud, looking at the TPS, looking at the refugees, all of this is going to make this country safer. All this is going to give us stronger national security, and it sends a message to the whole world, there is no open border here anymore. There's no free ride here anymore. America first. Folks, my friends, members of the Bongino Army, and I do consider you my friends. You're too far to say, as I say, you're my extended family. You've been with me forever. Some of you have been here from the original episode. Audience archivist Judy knows me from episode one on Sound Clutch. You may be the only one who can even find it. It actually wasn't even episode one, it was episode two. Episode one got wiped out because we used the song we didn't know we couldn't use. So there is no episode one. You've been with me from the beginning. One of the constant themes of this show is I am just one person. That's it. The microphone we have is powerful. We have radio on afternoons now. We're launching on Monday. Thanks for the Bongino Report, Bongino Report AM. We're launching on Monday on close to 300 stations, morning drive time. We're going to have mornings. We're going to have 10 AM. We're going to have afternoon drive. You know, we do appearances on Fox News. I do my best. However, even at our best week ever, social media, everything, maybe we reach 5 million people. Folks, the country's 330 million people. We're going to have 5 million people. I can't change an election by myself. The gentleman I met last night, wonderful guy. Like, Dan, nobody knows this stuff. People are upset. I need your help. I'm begging you. I'm like genuflecting on a bended knee. I can't bend because it's arthritic. Please do the 10, 10, and 10 thing. I can't win an election by myself for the Republicans. I can't. I need you. We have a big voice. It's not the only voice. Go tell 10 people this stuff. People upset about the border. Do you think Tom Homan's lying to you? Again, if you do, aren't you like obligated to produce some evidence? Tom Homan, if we don't trust Tom, then what's the point? Just burn the whole thing down and we can all live in anarchy. What's the point? The numbers are amazing. The president, Steve Miller, Tom Homan, Mark Wayne, they're out there right now doing the best they can engaged in a deportation exercise to make sure people here are leaving. They're not going to legally. No, they can't come back. It's happening. Media spin though. And this is why I really appreciate this gentleman telling me this yesterday because it made me realize again from a real world person I interacted with. He was like, I'm the average guy. I'm like, hell, I'm the average guy. Well, maybe not anymore. You got a microphone. No, I was the average guy, folks. That's not an insult. It's a compliment. I was a police officer in New York. My wife was a web developer. My father was a plumber. My mother. Worked to register when they still had those before the scanners in a supermarket in Glendale, Queens. There's nothing exceptional about my background. I was not born to do Harvard grads. I get it. But I'm glad working class Americans who power this country tell me this stuff because it made me realize again the power of red news versus blue news. How people even on our side are falling for right before the midterms. Nothing happened and people are upset. That's just crazy. A lot of stuff happened. You could be upset about what happened, but saying nothing happened is just ridiculous. Millions of people have been deported. Crime rates are down. The economy is exploding. The Atlanta Fed's predicting 5% growth. That's an insane number. That's crazy. We haven't seen 5% growth outside of COVID since like the Reagan years. Justin was kind enough to put this together just to show you the powerful effect the mainstream media has. On getting people to believe this stuff, that nothing's happening and whenever there's a Republican in office, everything that is happening is bad. Throw up our red news, blue news. We're going to do this often here. Thank you. Justin pulled this yesterday. Here's the red news first. Here's from June of 2026. In other words, the Donald Trump presidency. Look at the New York Times headline. And I want you to look at the author, Lydia DePillis, because it's the same author in the blue. It's the same person. I'll assume it's a female who knows she's a woman, Lydia. New York Times. Under Trump, inflation accelerates to fastest pace in three years as energy prices bite. Now, keep that up for a second. Keep in mind, the inflation rate under Joe Biden peaked at 9%. The inflation rate she's talking about is roughly three, which is over the Fed target of 2%. And we don't like, but you would think in context, if you were writing an article, Lydia DePillis at the New York Times, you would also cite poverty rates lowest in American history, manufacturing's coming back, jobless rates the lowest, median household income just hit record highs. You with the stock market, the NASDAQ's hitting record highs. You would think you would bring that up in the headline. No, because it's Donald Trump and it's red news. It's time to crap on him and write a headline. Here's the same lady, Lydia DePillis, under Joe Biden. I want you to see how the headlines completely contextually differ. Oh, the sound effects to this too. Very nice. I didn't know that. Very clever. I didn't hear that when we were going to the show rundown. Lydia DePillis, July 2022. U.S. economy added 300%. 372,000 jobs in June, defying slowdown fears. Notice in the blue news, notice it under a different administration, sleepy Joey Botts, that all the U.S. economy powered through June. Powered, Andrew. Powered. Donald Trump producing record job numbers too. But prices are biting, inflation excels. I'm just telling you, please don't fall for the Doomer crap. It was, look it up. Angie, Andy, ask ChatGPT. In July of 2022, give us like what was the rough inflation rate at that point. You understand how this gets into even Republicans' heads? That's why I'm not, again, I'm not mad at all and mad or the guy. I'm actually glad you guys brought this up so we can answer this stuff. But you, no way. AI's telling us it was over. It was over. It was over. It was over. It was over 8%. The inflation rate now is like 3. And by the way, you strip out volatile fuel because it's even less. It's, I'm not telling you. Eight and a half down from nine, by the way. I'm not telling you ignore fuel prices, ignore inflation. I am not telling you that. Stop. Period. At the end of the sentence. Got it? Inflation's a huge problem. But let's not act like Joe Biden didn't kick, Donald Trump in the nuts with this thing. He left them with eight, nine percent, seven, six. What do you expect them to do? Wave a magic wand? I'm sorry, man, but things are happening. And I'm telling you, I feel so good on this Friday. Why do you feel good? I do. Folks, the tide has shifted against DEI, wokeism, men in the women's room, global illegal immigration. The tide is not only shifting in the United States with the Trump election and the rebellion against this woke crap. The tide is shifting everywhere. Some of you may have seen what I'm about to play. If you haven't, you are in for a treat. This is one of the best speeches I've seen in a long time. There's a translator in the background because it's a Greek parliamentarian. Her name is Afrikan. Afrididal Latinapolo. If I'm saying your name wrong, it's not intentional. She's speaking to the woke European Union and the commissioners over there and the bureaucrats. And she just goes for it. This thing went nuclear on social media yesterday. But this is why I'm telling you, like, it's Friday. When you talk about the United States and the rebellion against liberal commies around the globe, talk about it with a smile because it's happening, brothers and sisters. Listen to this about a minute of this speech where, hat tip, hat tip, I don't have one on, but Afrididal Latinapolo. This was amazing. Check this out. Mrs. von der Leyen, there isn't more of a racist than you in Europe. You've proved it. We're full of illegal immigrants. We have so many taxes and red tape. Our farmers, our fishermen are on their knees. You're closing European factories. And thousands of jobs are being lost. You destroyed the nuclear family. You are ramming the woke agenda down our throat, the Islamization of Europe. You are using money in our pockets to pay the millions of immigrants that have destroyed our neighborhoods. They're murdering. They're raping. And at the end, you give them the right to vote. But you gave us paper straws, tethered caps, and gay pride. Not only are you. Mrs. Merkel's best pupil, you've done better than her. You are involved in scandals, Pfizer, gay to SMSs that have disappeared. And you have said that you won't be under scrutiny. The socialists are backing you. And Mr. Weber is backing you. They've got your back. You've destroyed things. Mrs. von der Leyen. We're about 30% of the way there. But 30% is better than 0% of the way there where we were under the abyss of the Obama-Biden years. People are rebelling all over the globe against this crap. They don't want open borders. They don't want men in the women's room. They don't want pride months and celebration months. You know what they want? This lady wants. She's Greek. They want a Greek celebration. Like, just celebrate your country and move on. What a time to be alive. The golden era of politics. Record low poverty. Record low crime. Border closed. Rebellions around the globe against crazy. Random acts of democracy breaking out. And the scientific revolution happening right now between AI, quantum computing, material sciences. Folks, I understand. I'm going to discuss in a second the perils of not doing things right. We had to do nuclear fission right, or the world could have blown up, okay? There are a lot of dangerous things. Flight. You don't do flight right. You clash the plane. No good. However, what a time to be alive. I don't want to be macabre on a Friday. But, man, I went through a real health scare in my life. A lot of you went through it with me. We all know we're going to die. But when you don't know if it's going to be two weeks or 30 years from now. For those in the chat who know what I'm talking about. Someone comes back and tells you, I got bad news. You got a cancerous tumor. But I don't know what kind. Well, what does that mean, doc? Well, if you have kind of it, A, the A kind, you'll be dead in a year. If it's B, you got six years. However, it could be C or D, and we could possibly wipe it out. You're like, God. I don't like those options. You don't even hear about C and D. You just hear about A. You're like, I knew I had an expiration date, but I don't want to know what it is. And I certainly don't want to be two weeks from now. Folks, when you're getting these cancer treatments and you see these again, these six, seven, eight-year-olds wheeled in with childhood leukemia, it changes your whole life. It changes your whole life. Again, when I had cancer, I was 45. I thank Jesus. I was like, Jesus, thank you for my 45 years. If I don't make it, I wasn't happy. All I kept thinking about was my daughter's wedding and how I wouldn't see it. I couldn't help. That was just devastating to me. But I understood, like, God has reasons I don't understand. But I got to tell you, I really don't understand the kids. I'm not telling you Jesus doesn't have his. I don't dare question. He's omnipotent. I'm not. But I couldn't understand that. Imagine being alive right now where people who are paralyzed and can't walk. Imagine the pain of that. You're a proud man or woman, and you cannot use the limbs God gave you. Can you imagine the pain of that every single day? You probably have dreams at night about being able to just take a step and run one more time. I mean, I've got arthritis, I complain, because I can't run. My battle is nothing compared to these people. I want to show you just this short video. Elon's Neuralink, what they're working on right now. You may say, I don't want to put anything. in my brain. Fine, I'm not asking you to do it. I'm just telling you, what about if you're paralyzed or you can't speak? And there's a technology out there that may enable you to speak for the first time or walk again. You want to take that chance? I certainly would. Watch this. What? Wait, you're thinking the words and they're popping up. I, I love you. Oh my gosh. That is amazing. Who's cutting onions in here? Is it lunchtime? I mean, folks, it's hard not to get a little bit choked up, but I don't care about man cards. All right. The poor guy can't speak. He's got an opportunity now to be able to communicate, tell his wife he loves her for the first time. It doesn't matter. You get a Friday. None of this matters. Let's just give it all up and throw it all away. I'm not doing that, man. And I'm never doing a show like that ever. I'm not. I'm not going to sit here all day and tell you your life is miserable. God gave you 70 to a hundred years on this planet, if nothing bad. If nothing bad happens and you should just wake up every morning and say, screw it. It sucks. I'm not doing that. Manifest good things, man. God gives you challenges for a reason. But remember, we always keep it in perspective on the show too, because like any other powerful technology, whether it's Neuralink or AI, things could go bad. There's no doubt, right? You know, there are going to be people like, well, I want to put a chip because I want to be smarter than everyone else. And then they go on. They become like freaking Lex Luthor or something. That's what humanity is about. God doesn't give you easy answers. He gives us all level 10 problems. Sometimes there's only a troubling answer and a more troubling answer. That's what the whole field of ethics is about. But keeping it in perspective, you are in the golden era of humanity right now. I do want to give you the other side of the story. Fox Digital did a short clip on, again, the artificial intelligence and the doomerism on one side too. We're all going to die. Everything's going to blow up tomorrow. We're all dead. I believe there's a responsible path we should take. Maybe we should slow down a little bit. I'll let other people argue the details of how that should happen and we can discuss that. However, there is a lot of doomerism out there. Fox covered this yesterday. I want you to listen to this perspective. So we got a well-rounded approach to this so you don't feel like I'm feeding you any slop like other people are. Check this out. Are capitalizing on the fears of Americans that angst over AI. I think they want to get rid of it. They want to get rid of it. You could draw all sorts of scary scenarios with Y2K as well. You know, the financial system was just going to collapse because people had not programmed or not written their programs for the year 2000. And I had been writing programs in the 1980s for the government. So well aware of the program. But of course, you know, the tech industry knew about the problem. And to the extent that it was a real problem, took action to fix it. And the same can happen with AI. There's no evidence for this. You know, last week, I heard several interviews with the, you know, it's called a whistleblower. Everyone knows who he is. There was no evidence. There was just hysteria. Folks, this is this gentleman here makes an unbelievable point. If you are an AI doomer, in other words, you've thrown reason out and you think we're all going to die and I'm going to live my life miserable. And again, it's you have the right to big R God given right to your opinion. Do your thing. But do you understand God gave us intellectual powers and God gave us agency? Every single problem in human history that's come up between mass starvation, government systems, nuclear fission, human beings have figured out ways to mitigate the downsides of any problem we're just going to let this happen in the world is going to blow up acts like human beings have no agency at all. In other words, the Y2K problem. I brought it up the other day. Justin, that wasn't even alive when this went down. Everybody was told the whole financial system is going to blow up. And what happened, folks, honestly, relatively essentially nothing. But why? Because human beings have agency. They saw a problem. We tackled it and we fixed it. That's it. Assuming humans have no agency and we're going to let a bunch of robots kill us all while not taking into account God giving us the power to mitigate these problems, see them in advance and work on them is just black hole thinking. Jesse Waters did a segment on this on Fox, which is great with Jason Calacanis, who I, again, a more realistic approach here. How, hey, there's a fix to this stuff. I said it to the other day. Let's get human beings in some of these loops. So AI doesn't get to take off endlessly without us saying, nope, not here. We're cutting it off here. Do you realize the jumps in judgment you need to be a total doomer like the whole world is going to blow up tomorrow? I'm not telling you not to be concerned. I am too. I'm just telling you, don't disregard the power of human agency. Check this out. These computer programs going to create a bioweapon. How are they going to launch a nuclear missile at Seattle? How? Yes, this is where you need to get some science fiction authors in a room to make like three or four or five jumps. The jump you would have to make to get to the nuclear missiles is those are air gapped. You would have to create an incredible thriller where somehow the AI programs a thumb drive. That thumb drive makes its way into the missile silo and uploads it. It's just not possible. And to take the airplanes out of the sky, those are also what we call in the industry air gapped. We also have human in the loop system. So people are getting a hand on science fiction to get excited about it. The pernicious thing here is, and you alluded to this with Bernie Sanders getting into this and other folks, people, when they see a crisis like this, want to jump on it and they have agendas. And one of the agendas here is to do what's called regulatory capture, create a bunch of rules. So maybe these one or two companies can win the market. And then the smaller companies coming up or open source where anybody can own the technology, maybe they get regulated out of existence. I'm not telling you what to think. I'm just saying God put us here for a reason. We have agency. Humanity has fixed problems. We've caused problems. We fixed problems. We've caused, we've caused problems. We fixed. I am not going to be a doomer. And I don't think you should be either. I got, by the way, please, I got a clip coming up next. If you ever, ever thought, why did I name that? I usually tell you why I name a show, a show it's a boom because you're living in an economic crisis. You're living in an economic crisis. You're living in an economic boom right now. What doesn't feel like it. Maybe you haven't heard the news. I'm not telling you in every community, but folks, the numbers are insane. Larry Kudlow just let it rip yesterday on Fox. Even I hadn't heard some of this stuff. There's still argument over the proper angle. Could someone get a protractor? Jasmine. I know we're going to get a thousand protractors in the mailboxes. I know it. I know it. Cause you're the best in the world. Hey, do you know, fast growing trees, America's largest and most trusted online nursery. I use them.

Fast growing trees. Little did they know they would be involved in a protracted. See what you did there? Bad humor controversy over the angle of the point. Justin gets it. Justin gets it. All right, back to the show. Did you see this clip by Larry Kudlow the other day? We love Larry Kudlow. Larry's a great guy. I know Larry personally, really good man. Larry's forgotten more about economics than most people ever know. I'm not telling you again in advance, disregard inflation, disregard gas price. I'm not telling you that we get it. I'm simply telling you that that data point in perspective of everything else, ladies and gentlemen, you want to be back to the Joe Biden years where growth was horrendous. Inflation was out of control and gas prices were up too. What do you want to be here? These are just the receipts. Larry Kudlow just went for it. Check this out. Per capita income levels that were just reported from last year because the data just came in from last year. We're absolutely mind-blowingly positive. The highest we've ever seen. Highest we've ever seen. 87,460. That's the highest we've ever seen. Up almost 3%. Poverty rate is the lowest, as you pointed out. By the way, childhood poverty, the lowest since the data were kept. I thought Democrats cared about the children. Yes, they used to. Since they started taking this. And by the by, if anyone cares, the Atlanta Fed is saying the economy is growing at over 5 percent in real terms. I need your help. I mean, it's not one of those faux calls for clarity. I really do need your help, folks. I can't win this midterm on my own. I'm not running. I can't. I am not going back to the Joe Biden, Barack Obama days. I'm not. And I know you aren't either. Republicans are not the solution to all your problems. I've said this over and over, but Democrats are the cause. And I'm not going back to that. When your friends understand, we say, hey, gas prices are high. We get it. We're working on it. We're doing the best we can. However, I want you to also keep in mind this. You are the Paul and Paulette reviewers. I can't do this alone. You have to get this out there on your social media. This is no time. Forty days plus just a couple more than 40 days to an election to be black pilling and dooming because there's a real penalty for it. Your freedom and liberty. You want to go back to impeachments and weaponize government. I want to throw one more thing at you to show you how amazing it is economically. At this time, I'm going to be alive right now. Folks, Jamie Dimon hasn't always obviously been a friend to the Republican Party. I think that's fairly obvious that I'm not endorsing his views or companies or anything like that. But when I hear something that makes sense, I don't care who says it. I'm going to put it out on the show. I said this over and over. If John Fetterman or someone else on the Democrat side wants to bring some sensibility and reason to a debate, they're welcome on the show. I'm not going to vote for him, but they're welcome on the show. Jamie Dimon was the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. This is something that doesn't come up often, but for those of you who understand basic economics, this is critical because the entire world invests in the United States because our military and our economic system is the most powerful juggernaut by far. There's not even a close second. What do we have, like nine, 10 aircraft carriers, depending on who's in service at any given time? China barely can field one. We are the world's most powerful military powerhouse. Our economy feeds basically the entire world. And I don't only mean food. Nearly everything important comes out of the United States. They want dollars because despite the fact that the international community, I mean, I like Donald Trump. Then why are you still investing in us? Because, you know, King Dollar is the king. And when the dollar is the world's reserve currency, that means we basically, get a free loan for every single transaction around the globe when they do it in dollars. And not the Chinese rendered me. Listen to this because this is really important. This guy's no huge Trump supporter either. What an age to be alive. Check this out. I find myself having a lot of conversations about this trend towards de-dollarization. How do you see it? Well, it's not going to happen because, you know, because the reserve currency is not, I, this is an IQ test. You ready? If, and you can, you can ask anyone in the world, if you can only put all of your money in one country, which one would it be? Well, there's only one that's protected by the Atlantic and the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law, the ability to own. When we give you a United States dollar, you can do whatever you want with it. You can start a business, you can buy a home, you can send it to Switzerland. You know, you can do all these various things. That's not true in a lot of countries. So you're not going to take a reserve currency where the government decides what you can do with it, which is what China, you know, China has capital controls. That's basically what that is. And they need them for a whole bunch of different reasons. So, so as long as we maintain that strength, and I think it does relate to free trade. So China will become more of reserve currency. Other countries might, but we will still be the predominant one. As long as we maintain the predominant economic position in the world. And that is predicated also the predominant military position. Folks, what was that Aaron Neville song? I don't know much, but I know I love you. I don't know much, but I do know foreign travel. I've been to probably twice as many cities because I've been to foreign countries where I've gone to multiple cities multiple times. It's probably close to 100 on the city scale. How many in the chat have traveled a lot? Voucher me on this one. Is there a single country on earth where you're at like a street vendor at a fair? Like I used to go to this, what is it? Mile of a fair. I've been Russia a couple of times when I was with the secret service. I did two trips there. They don't want rubles. What do they want? Greenbacks, bucks, dollars, Uncle Ben's, hundos, Ulysses Grant, Lincoln, Washington. They want that. Tell me I'm wrong in the chat. I don't know a single country on earth. They won't take the dollar instead of their own currency. Some of those places, it's not even legal and they'll still take it because we're the king. We rule. This rock we call earth. Wear it. Yes, see? You're 100% correct. Yes, yes, yes. You know it. Those who've traveled, they want dollars. King dollar. Your country. You fought for, your fathers fought for, your grandfathers fought for. They gave you the greatest country on earth at the greatest time to be alive. You got people putting brain chips in. They can tell their wives they love them. You've got artificial intelligence figuring out math problems the entire history of sentient human beings couldn't figure out. What a time to be alive, man. Speaking of artificial intelligence, if you listen to the radio show, you may have gotten a preview of this, but if you don't, you're in for a treat. Thank you to my production team. We added some visuals. There's a new movie coming out. Have you heard about this? Nightmare on Lip Street movie. It was under where Jim founded, producer Jim on the dark web. I don't know. I don't know where he gets this stuff. Who knows what the hell he's doing on that computer over there in the Texas studio. We have like a Texas substation for the whole Bongino team right here. I don't know what Jim's doing, but he found on a dark web this weird trailer for this movie, Nightmare on Lip Street, about this crazy new AI technology called, have you guys heard of this? Josh? Chat? DJT? I never heard of it. I didn't even know this was a thing. So here's the movie trailer. I'm going to go see this movie. I don't know about you. I'd pay like 50 bucks to see this one. Check this out. Joe Biden put one person in charge of an emerging technology. Javier Baccaria. Baccaria? No, no. He found someone with an even lower IQ. Breaking barriers involves breaking things. Kamala Harris in charge of the scariest tech yet. AI is kind of a fancy thing. First of all, it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence. She had unleashed Chat DJT. What a stupid question. But we've talked a lot, you and I, and you ask a lot of stupid questions. You do this a lot. You know, you're in the presence of the greatest AI in the history of the world. Chat DJT. Artificial intelligence. The most intelligence, but you are a genuine lack of intelligence. A very stupid person. Chat DJT. Chat DJT. Nightmare on Lib Street Quiet Piggy Rated MASA Make America Smart Again And in case you're saying Hey man Was that producer Jim and Sean Farris? No No that was definitely Donald Trump And a movie trailer Now we're Winky Winky Mother Is In the chat Mother Is And it is Friday It's Friday We gotta laugh a little bit I always tell you You gotta smile a little bit Jim play that again On the radio show Because they need to hear that On a Friday You hear me? I need textual Confirmation We need some textual Healing on that Nightmare on Lib Street Coming soon This freaking show Is crazy Can we play I gotta go totally I gotta get to the UFO thing So don't go anywhere Because I just want to give you Some brief perspective From my time But given that we're on a roll With it Jim you're good? Okay good Jim just texted me Can you play Grandma On the Cybertruck 2? This is not AI right? As far as we know Like this is real Folks Now this is real This is that That was obviously AI Jim and Sean Farris Did a great job Thank you guys And my team here Put the visuals This however is real We are in the most amazing time To be alive Including cars You know I hate the word literally That literally drive themselves So somebody decided To put their Lovely grandmother Behind the steering wheel In a Tesla Cybertruck And I think Tesla Their self-driving feature My humble opinion Based on reviews From people who own them Is the best The grandmother really Wasn't digesting What was going on And they filmed the whole thing This is not AI As far as we know This is your Make America Funny again Moment This is freaking hilarious I want to talk about A time to be alive Check this out Oh shit Wait a minute Wait a minute No no no Don't touch that Don't touch that Don't touch that - Please, do not hit, do not touch it. Let the A.I. drive. - Oh shit, just stop that. - The A.I. stop that. - Stop it, stop it bro, please bro, please bro. - Don't press nine, don't press nine, don't press nine. - Oh man, please bro, okay. - The A.I., you gotta trust, you gotta trust the A.I. Trust the A.I. - Wait a minute, wait a minute. - You gotta trust me? - There's a car right there. - Yeah, but trust it, it knows, it knows what to do. - Bro, bro, take this off this. - It know what to do, trust me, trust the A.I., see? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - It's good, it's good. - No, it's not, no, it's not. - Trust the A.I. - Take it off it, bro. - Trust the A.I. - Trust the A.I. - Leave, leave. - No, no, how do you get out of here? - Oh man. - Don't do that, don't do that, no. - How do you get out? - Don't do that, no, don't do that, no. - Let the A.I. drive. - Grandma, grandma, I can't take it. More about. I saw that. I just had to share that wonderful Make America Funny Again moment with you. It is fantastic. Folks, to grandma out there, you're a star, but also to grandma, what a wonderful time for you to be alive. I don't know how old grandma is. Let's not guess. Women's age, we'll say 60, be a nine, okay? You were alive when color TV was a new thing, and now you got a car driving itself down the street. You've seen it all. What a life. What a life. So I said I would get this. Speaking of technology we don't understand, Fox did a segment with the great Peter Doocy. Pete's a good man. Know him and his father really well. Great reporter. Peter Doocy did a segment on Fox about some new releases, about some UAPs. So you know what people would call just in everyday English, UFOs, Unidentified Flying Objects, UAPs, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. Now, I was honored to have the greatest job of my life was the last year in the FBI. You all know I was there running the place. And when you're there, you pretty much have access to everything. And one of the things I asked about, not that I had other things right when I get in there, but I don't know, about a month or two in, I said, hey, I'd like to, 'cause I'm very concerned about drones. And obviously, if we don't know what's in the air, it's a bad thing. Whether it's space aliens or a freaking drone, it's a problem. So I got the briefing pretty early from people both at the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and at the FBI. We have our own little X-Files unit over there. And without sharing anything classified, because this is now out in the open, I want to show you in two parts what Peter came up with. It's about a minute each. And I'll just describe to you, again, what I saw within the bounds of what's appropriate. And what I know and what I don't know, because I think that's the only fair way to cover it. Check out part one of this little segment they did on UAPs. Check this out. - I was summoned to an office in the West Wing yesterday for a private briefing about these files that you're about to see on your screen for the first time ever. Let's show the first clip. It was taken by a Navy aerial photographer. His name was Delbert Newhouse. It was taken along a Utah highway. If you look closely, it looks like a drone swarm, but there were no known drones in the sky when this video was taken in 1952. I am told they took the first and only copy of this film. They found it in the National Archives. It has been digitized into 4K to be released right here for the first time today. The second clip we have, taken by a law enforcement officer's iPhone along a busy Colorado highway three years ago. The officer's narration, and some nearby buildings have been redacted. I heard the unredacted version, though, and he is describing multiple orbs hovering over a sensitive military installation. And then we have a third clip, taken by a drone over the Middle East last year. It shows six objects flying in formation, destination unknown. The Pentagon looks at this. They say they do not know what they are looking at on the screen. - Okay, now, before I get to part two here, I think it's only fair to tee this up that I don't know what that is either. Dan, you don't have an answer? No, I don't. There's a reason. Justin, why are they called UAPs? Because they're unidentified. I don't know either. If I knew I'd give you the answer, why are you bringing this up? I'll explain after part two, 'cause I don't like leaving you without any answers. But I don't know. And I, again, being candid, I had not seen that first one, I think the second one I saw, but the first one I don't recall seeing before from the '50s, strange, strange. Doesn't mean it's not explainable, just means it's strange. But I'll explain to you what I do know after this part two, check this out. - And then there's this. There's a newly declassified copy of an expense report, a line-by-line expense report going through the $22 million that the DIA spent to investigate repeated years-long claims over something called Skinwalker Ranch. Claims of extra things in the sky, UFOs, UAPs. Harry Reid, before he passed away, this was in 2008, got $22 million to investigate this. Officials now are telling me, senior White House officials are telling me, they cannot find any copy of the records. They've got all the proof that this government contractor was spending $22 million to do this investigation. But when folks high up at the White House who can just pick up the phone and say, here's a copy of those records, make the call, they are being told that if these records were created, they are either lost or something happened to them. Somebody has them, they are not available to White House officials right now, which kind of seems like one of these UFO movies where it gets to the Oval Office and the president has to be told that there are certain things that are too classified even for the president. But we should stress again, officials do not know what the obvious. Objects are in these videos. Okay, wait, you guys in the bubble there need to listen too. I know you're not audience members, but this is important. There's two points I wanna make. One's about Donald Rumsfeld, what? And the second's about Parallax. When I said to you, tying this to the beginning of the show, that when we went in there, me and Cash and Ratcliffe and Mike, the deputy over Michael, over at CIA, when President Trump and I went in there, folks, we can only tell you, 'cause I'm never gonna lie to you, ever, we can only tell you what we have access to, what we've seen. If it's not there, I can't tell you it's there. Does this make sense? That part about Skinwalker Ranch, that's the first time I'm hearing about that, however, unfortunately, you don't know what was, what was destroyed. So for me to tell you, I know what happened to X, when the information about X is not there, I'm not gonna do that for clicks. You pledge transparency. I meant it, go look up what everybody's, I can't give you transparency on what doesn't exist. That's what Ducey's describing there, point one. How does that relate to Donald Rumsfeld? Donald Rumsfeld gave a famous speech one time about the dangers of things that you have no knowns, things you know and can fix. You have known unknowns. You know things about like a problem where you don't necessarily have an answer. And then you have unknown unknowns, you can go look up the speech yourself, it's famous, where you don't know what you don't know because it doesn't exist. How disingenuous and phony would it be for me to enter the Trump administration and go, I mysteriously found that answer. Did you, do you have evidence? No, I don't have evidence, I'm just guessing. I'm not doing that. I can only tell you what I know and what I've seen. I'm not, you're not, you didn't pay me to guess. You just didn't. Does it make sense now? So point number one is some of the stuff just isn't there to render an opinion on. I wish it were, but it's not. The second part, as it relates to the UFO, so that was more of a larger point, but it's relevant there for this too. Folks, a lot of the videos, you're seeing and I'm not talking about those two, you just saw, like I said, I don't remember if I saw one or both of them, or I don't think I saw the first one, but a lot of the videos you see on X, where you see a lot of people rendering commentary on them. I want you, if you're open-minded to this, a lot of them are easily explainable. I'm not telling you all of them. There's a reason they're called UAPs, but some of them that are being portrayed as UAPs, there's a likely explanation. Some, some, everybody hear me? I'm not trying to discredit anyone. I'm not going to allow anyone to mischaracterize my words. There are people there, me included, of very real concerns about a lot of unexplained material, but some of them that you're seeing that are being portrayed as unexplained are not. It's a parallax effect. What you think is traveling at a certain speed is sometimes just floating through the air, maybe like a Mylar balloon, and what's filming it is moving at a high speed. I mentioned this before. That is a limited pool of these videos. There are others. I just don't have an answer, but some of them that look really strange are likely just Mylar balloons or other objects, some. And when you look up the parallax effect and how the camera are not designed for this, you'll see how some of them are explainable. Again, I'm just here to give you reason and you can form your own opinion about the other unidentified ones. And there are lots of them because some of them are pretty freaking strange. Are they drones? I don't know. I don't know. That's why they're unidentified. I just thought it was important to get that out there. But I'm really glad Peter Doocy said this because now you understand with some of these other cases. That, you know, you get people, if I was in there, I would have done something different. How? One, you didn't volunteer. You didn't go work for the government. You didn't give up your job. You didn't spend time away from your family. To the critics and podcasts, to Stanley, you didn't do that. I'm not attacking you. It's just true. How do you know what we saw and didn't? Well, I don't know. Okay, so whose opinion is more valuable? Yours or mine? You just admitted you'd never seen anything. I'm telling you a lot of this stuff that people want you to comment on, that evidence isn't there. Poorly scoped cases, stuff that we just can't find. We don't know what happened. Was it destroyed? I don't know. It's an unknown unknown. It wasn't everything, but it's a lot of stuff we did find, which you're going to see as time goes on. It's not trust me, bro, anything. The receipts will be there for you to see. All right, it is Friday, so we do our Democrat Zen moment. Then we have our comment of the day. And I've heard rumors we have another winner to announce it. It's a lot.
