Nope. No Escape. (Ep. 2571)

All America, all the time, sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino Show. So I was going to start the show a little differently today and talk about the nope, no escape, no backsees. Remember, remember we were kids for those who were my age in their ancient fifties like me when you, I start, I mean, 50 feels like 50 as I've said often, 40, maybe not 40, but 50 definitely feels like 50. But we were kids we'd trade baseball cards. Remember when that was the thing, I'll give you a Cal Ripkin for a Don Mattings. No, no backsees. There's no trade back. Remember that? No trade backs? No backsees. There's no back. You remember that? There's no backsees. There's no back. That's not a thing. The fact that a bunch of Democrats, AOC, Scarborough, Joe Scarborough, Democrat, they're all like now, all of a sudden, trying to trade back the abolishized, abolished prisons, defund the police, abolished the Senate, abolished the Supreme Court, abolished the presidency, social, there's no backsees. There's no backsees. You own this now. Your guys went out and campaigned with the October 7 rape stone matter guy. There's no backsees. You went out and campaigned with the guy talking about how he didn't give a damn about black voters and talking about lynchings, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop. Surprised emoji face, dude. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We got receipts. No, no, no, no backsees. But what I gotta get to first, and Guy agrees, which is me and Guy almost never agree. And I'm always right. I just want to say, every, right, I am. Come on. It's just a matter. Have you ever been right on right? But he's right about this. This story about the security threat to President Trump and Turkey and the Air Force one transferred to, there's nobody better to give you some perspective on this than this guy. No, not the Caitlin Collins, I get, but I get the Joe. You'll see what I mean coming up in a minute. I got some takeaways from this one. Big show today. By the way, quick thank you.

Let's go. I see him in the commander's seat right there. So first, I wanted to play this clip. And there's a couple of things. A couple of pointers here. I want to point out fully play. Caitlin Collins and Anderson Cooper talking about the president of security threats as he was coming back from Turkey just for a month ago or something like that, at a loose track at time. He had to switch planes, became a huge story. The media, of course, thinks they were entitled to know everything, including the security features of the plane. You're not. It's not for public consumption. I'm sorry. Not everything should be out there. I don't care if it's a Democrat president or a Republican president. We don't want to get the president killed because you got, you want clicks. I wanted you to listen though. Caitlin Collins says that someone was deceived in this. It'll make sense in a second. Play the cut. You'll see what I mean. Check this out. Now, the post is reporting that the threat was so severe. There was a second switch onto a third plane. The president was not on this plane at all, instead, according to the post, even as members of the press were boarding from the rear door. The president who we just showed you climbing the front steps was leaving the plane, leaving on one of these, quoting now from the post, he was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane. An Air Force C32A via an airport catering truck, as the president had said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats. Is there any precedent for this kind of deception? I mean, it's remarkable. Because even when the president goes to war zones before, which Trump himself has done, the reporters who are traveling with him are sworn to secrecy, but they know where they're going. But what this speaks to is one, you know, the seriousness of the threat that they got when it came to this Iranian threat against the president's life, and two, the levels that they were willing to go to, to put the president in a catering truck, then to deceive the reporters who were on board, and even some White House staff, according to the post, who thought the president was on board that plane. Now, correct, in the beginning of the show, I miss, sometimes I'm not a professor ex, okay, I have like telepathic powers. Sometimes I'll put a clip out there, and there'll be a little nugget of it that even I miss. But when we do the pre-show rundown, I was like, Justin, did you just catch it at the end? This is, there's a couple takeaways, okay? It's the chat, by the way, right? There's a lot of, you see what's going on in the chat. Okay, back to the serious time. Kaelin Collins says at the end that because the president's life was clearly in jeopardy and turkey that they had to make this grave decision, and believe me, I've never seen anything like that particular thing. So this must have been a really serious what we call TTL threat to life, that the efforts they went to deceive the press, it's not about you, Kaelin, I'm not trying to make this personal really, but this is the mentality of the modern journalist reporter, CNN media hack, that they really believe that they put the president in a catering truck to deceive the press. It was meant to deceive the people who want to kill them. Andy, is there something, no one was trying to do, no one was even thinking about you. It's not about you, I cannot emphasize this enough, having been in this media environment forever. There's a lot of good people out there, I have a lot of colleagues, I love in respect to a really great and a very humble, a ton of, however, cable news is populated with people with egos, the size of like Texas, but without any of the Texas values to back it up, it's not about you, nobody, I promise in that security meeting, I've been in many of them. Dan, what do you know about being in a war zone with the president? She, I don't know, dipshit, I took Obama to Afghanistan and Bagram Air Base when it was a freaking war zone. You can probably foyer that, we either got making it up, I was in a war zone with the president, nobody's thinking, well, how do we deceive the, nobody gives a shit about the press. We're trying to keep the president alive. Stop it. Stop it. Get some help. Get some help. Nobody cares, media people, Caitlin and others, and the press pool people, nobody wants anything bad happened to you. Obviously, let me be clear, we're not trying to get anybody hurt. You don't have to be there though. I've heard media people, I kid you not, folks, I'm not messing with you. They are always in the motorcade, back then they used to film out out of the top of the truck, so I'm a new agent on the president's detail, I don't know when I got there, 2005, whatever, that's about the time. I get there in 2005, I'm on the president bushes detail, and I remember, it was my first motorcade and you see these guys and they're like hanging out at a truck filming these press guys, a motorcade, like an in-town movement, like he's going to church or something. It wasn't any big deal, we weren't going to like a NATO summit, and I remember saying one of the guys like, what's that all about? They go, yeah, these media people call it like death watch, in case something happens in a motorcade, they want it on a tape. They know there's a threat every time they're with the president, you understand they don't have to be there. No one is forcing Caitlin Collins or anyone else to be on Air Force One. if you don't like the fact. that President Trump is the most threatened human being. Probably I kid you not in the history of planet earth at this point. There is no greater threat. Then get the off the plane. Nobody's trying to deceive you. You never ever came up in the conversation. I guarantee you, not a single soul was like, "Gee man, how do we deceive the bread?" You never came, it's not about you. My gosh, with these people. That's point number two I already made. Media people, again, they're not all bad people. Even some of them at lefty never. So I don't agree with, but some of them were respectful when I was there and I reciprocated. I was never mean to anyone. But you don't have to be there. Nobody is forcing you to be there in handcuffs. You choose to be there understanding the risks. If you don't like the risks, then don't go and complain about it. I saw this whole big X-thread this morning, Justin, people like, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe there was a threat and like the media people, it didn't go home." Why is it not right? It's like being a secret service agent on the detail and going, "You know what, boss? I'm not really comfortable with these job hazards. It's kind of dangerous being around Trump. A lot of people want to kill him. Can I go home?" They would be like, "What, are you smoking the pipe?" No, not the tobacco, but the crack pipe. Are you smoking the crack? It's part of the job, dude. It's like working in construction on a high-rise building. Oh man, I don't like heights I can fall. Oh, shit. Another point. I love all these political commentators, the full-x magazine. Remember Tucker? Oh my gosh. Telling them, was it Ted Cruz, he was telling them something like, "Man, if the Iranians are trying to kill President Trump, like nuclear, war and all this stuff." And then they're all like now trying to downplay the Iranian threat. Oh, there's no serious threat. They're no serious threat. They put the President on a freaking food truck to sneak him out of there because the threat was so real. I'm telling, and by the way, don't tell them you have no experience. Shut the fuck up and sit down, pardon my language. You know nothing about presidential security. You've never done it. You've never been in a security briefing. Sit your ass down and shut the fuck up. You don't know anything about anything. You're a goofy bow tie wearing loser. You don't know shit. So you can shut your mouth. You can't have it both ways. If the secret service is evacuating the President through a food truck to a backup plane, do you have any idea how serious that TTL threat to life had to be? To put them on a food truck, to get them on a backup plane, to a backup plane? I thought we were supposed to nuky-run. I'm not telling you, that's ridiculous. Nuky-run, you said that, did you not? And now, oh, no, no, the Iranian, no big threat, no big threat. How many times have I told you that the Iranian threat, they're not telling you everything because they can't. The things that appear in these intelligence briefings, not every piece of it filters out to the public. The threats to life, the threats against our industrial control systems and cyber attacks, the threats to rapidly reconstruct this nuclear program were very real. Were very real. They wanted both ways. Now they'll just ignore this. No, they put them on a food truck 'cause he wanted a hoagie or something. We're from New York, we call them subs, but whatever word you wanna use. Heroes and New York's hero, I should say, and subs. I've actually, I've been in Florida too long to pump subs in my brain right now. My New York is leaving by the day, except for the cousin, I know. I know, you are a generation of moon. So there are my three takeaways. The Iranian threats to life, to American citizens are very real. The so severe, I'm telling you, I've never seen anything like that. There's one accurate thing she says. She doesn't really know, but she's guessing Caitlin Collins. When Anderson Cooper says, is there any precedent for this? She's like, well, I never heard one. I have to tell you, I haven't either. We've done a lot of things. I remember a couple tricks we pulled when I was an on-the-first ladies detail, but when I was on Obama's detail, some things they did with Michelle Obama, so she could move around. It was a lot of deception involved. I'd there were some times we would do shell games and motor cades and things. I've never seen anything this dramatic, ever. But the Caitlin Collins line, the lengths they went to deceive the press. Just, again, it's not about you. Nobody cares about you guys, okay? We don't want you to get hurt, but you choose to be there. You don't like being there. Don't show up. That's not an option for the staff, the WAMO, the White House Military Office. That's not an option for Waka, the White House Communication Agency. You probably don't even know what this stuff is if you're, you know, a commentator out there. You have no idea. You just kind of chime off, like everyone should respect your opinion as if it has any value. You have the right to have one. It doesn't mean it means shit. I hope that helps. Does that help, you think? Geese, that why I should have started off there, man? That's why Geese wanted me to start with this story. Apollonia 88 in a chat. I grew up in Connecticut. We call them grinders. Whoa, be careful with that one. I never heard that either. I could go in a lot of different directions. Be very, I'm just, be careful. As you say it. Yeah, we did, heroes is right. All right, getting back to what I want to start to show with them. There's no backsees, folks. There's no backsees. We are not letting the left turn away from the fact that they have been out there campaigning on the craziest stuff I have ever seen in my, you know, 30 years following politics. No way. They are, and this is not the Tea Party on the left. The Tea Party was campaigning for relatively mainstream conservative thought ideas. Let's lower taxes. Let's look at a fair tax. Let's look at a flat tax. Let's let patients control their healthcare and fight this Obamacare train wreck. Let's fight for school choice. Let's protect human life. Let's protect the Second Amendment to the Constitution. None of this stuff was in any way radical. It was only radical if you were a crazy leftist. Stop comparing your nonsense, abolish prisons, ICE or murderers, abolish the military, cut military funding, government controlled healthcare, confiscatory taxes, the theft of property, government control, the economy, stop conflating it with the Tea Party. It's not true you're making it up. You're just, oh, like we have this little internal drama. No, that's not what happened. You tried to force men and women's locker rooms down America's throat, wokeism, DEI, no merit. People should be picked on skin color. We should all hate the Jews and the evangelicals and the Protestant. These are not mainstream ideas in a sane populist. They're not, okay? Stop comparing it to, and we're not letting you walk it back. You don't just get to say, hey, we campaigned with a guy who said that October 7th, the rapes don't bother him and go, hey, my bad. Is that what the kids even still say that? I don't know. I'm not like if the kid may go anymore. Did he, my bad. So sad. No back, we already traded. The trade's done. You already traded your integrity and morals for power. You are not trading back. Here's what I mean. That's why the title of today's show is nope. Nope, nope, no escape. There's no escaping this. We are going to force you to look in the mirror and tell the truth. Hat tip the great maze more. Here's AOC who now wants, she's going to run for president, folks. She's going to run for president. I don't want to say flag it in the chat because I can't get in her head and she may change her mind and she does more public appearances and gets humiliated because she really is dumb like she doesn't know anything. You ever see her in a public appearance asked any serious question? She doesn't know anything. People are going to flag the chat anyway. Of course. I'm just saying, there's, I could say, a 55% chance. She runs for president. Watch her evolution as she realizes over these clips that identity politics and DEI and wokeism, how she now is trying to walk away from it, suggesting woke one probably wasn't a good idea. She was woke one. Hat tip maze more for this. Check this out. A place of privilege to be woke and up to this. You know, if you have, if you never knew this was an issue before and now you're realizing it now, you know, there's a huge privilege in that. We're having a hearing right now and it's about what the, that the federal government is to woke. This is what this whole term woke means or diversity and inclusion so that the people who work in our federal workforce are actually in proportion to the people that live in this country. - Woke one was crazy. (laughing) - Woke one was crazy. - No, no, there are no trade backs. There's a Pearl Jam song. They're all lefties out. But I love Pearl Jam growing up. There's huge lefties, Eddie Federer and them. But I was, I love Pearl Jam. There's that song, you know, at some point you trade magic for fact and there's no trade backs. She's trading the magic of DEI and by magic, I don't mean that in a qualitatively good way. I mean, like like it's presto, change your look. I pulled a rabbit out of a hat. The rabbit didn't come out in a freaking thin air. You had it hiding in the hat. Only like kids believe that. So she's trying to trade magic for a fact. But no, look up that line. I believe I forget what song it is. Someone would help me out in the chat. Trade magic for a fact, there's no trade backs. We are not letting you do this trade back now. You force this stuff into the American circulatory system, the arteries and veins. And we're not allowing you to just walk away and pretend it didn't happen. No, I have nothing to walk away from from the Tea Party. I'm proud of what we did. I ran for office in that Tea Party move. Tell me, don't tell me. I actually put my name on a ballot. I'm proud of that. Low taxes, the second amendment, the right to life. Nobody's even attempting to run away from that. Why are you running away from yours? 'Cause you traded magic for a fact. You're watching a movie on the screen. Now you know everybody realizes BS because the acting's so bad. And you all want to pretend you're not the executive producer. No, no, no. And I'm sorry, but Joe Scarborough doesn't get a pass either. This guy's been a Democrat for a Republican, whatever. He spouts off Democrat crap, all kinds of talking points. Now he's starting to realize along with the MSNOW crew, they're starting to realize that these ideas poll really be-- Shocker, fellas, I'm really stunned. Abolishing prisons, property confiscation, abolishing the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, sticking kids in crappy government schools with no school choice, taking away people's health care plans. They like, I'm really stunned. This polls at like negative 47%. I'm stunned. Here's my shock phase. Dan, that looks like your normal phase. That's 'cause it is. Here's Scarborough now like, hey man, we got a problem. And everybody was like, celebrate. Well, finally they're waking up. Finally, Scarborough's not a stupid guy, okay? You don't think he knew months ago that this was a problem? He should have been talking about this years ago when AOC first burst on the scene with Bernie Sanders like screaming like this. Watch this. Oh, you have to just turn a blind eye to people saying that women getting raped on October 7th didn't matter. This is about the Democrats. Once again, fumbling the football on the two-yard line when they have a chance to make great gains but being so woke to call out the obvious. I swear to God, it's really, it's crazy that we're even having this conversation. And if somebody says a woman being raped doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it's okay to call that person out and demand that candidates distance themselves from those people. If you want to rule, if you want to rule over a party and win elections, if somebody says going to a rally the day after Hamas slaughters more Jews than any time since the Holocaust, it's okay for Chuck Schumer. It's okay for he came Jeffries to call that despicable and demand that people distance themselves from that. That's okay. Okay, you know what, you know what, it's not okay? Just investing me on a point which he did. He's like, Dan, this is my favorite video. I'm like, yeah, we were chatting while I was playing 'cause I've seen it. I'm like, me too, man, I can't believe Scarborough, like just, I'm sure he said some of these things before to be fair, but never with this kind of passion as if he didn't see this kind of, he was a dumb guy and I understand him, like, he's like, no, not that's not what I like about. I'm like, what do you like about it? He goes, look at the guest. The guest doesn't know what to do. Justin's video with the day. The guest is sitting there and I don't know what this guy's like. If he agrees with a lot of this stuff or disagrees, but he's just sitting there like, am I supposed to say something? Like, he's got this, I've been on cable news. When a host is going off, look at him, the guest, look at the face, look at the face. Check this guy's face, stone face. There, he blanks, he blanks, so he's real. He looks like a mannequin. He doesn't know what to do. He's probably like, oh my gosh, I don't want to upset my socialist friends by agreeing with Scarborough here in this rant. I don't even think, isn't he married to Mika? They're like a thing, right? Wait, even Mika's sitting there like, oh, he's with the hell's going on here. I'm sorry, but I'm not giving anyone like a round of applause for failing to warn about the Bernie Sanders threat of socialism that has been infecting the Democrat party for probably 20 years now. Go back to show, go back to the original shows like episodes one through 20. We were talking about the exact same things. Folks, there are no backsies, I'm sorry. There are no trade backs, and we are going to glue this piker guy and everyone else to the Democrat party because that's what they wanted. I didn't tell them to go out and campaign with a guy who's like a rape apologist. I didn't tell him, what happened to me too, movement? What, where'd that go? Like I said, I thought the raping is like a really big problem, like that's a big deal, right? Not to you, I guess, I'm going to show you what I mean. I got a video this popped up yesterday of piker with regard to black voters. And I'm going to show you how, folks, I'm telling you, I don't speak collectively about groups of people, but other people do. If you are a black voter out there, you are being targeted by the left. Targeted for our votes? Well, yes, of course. But no, you're being targeted by an op. They don't care about you. How do I know? Come on, I don't have to use the word literally Justin. They literally say it. Then I'm going to show you another one, a prominent Democrat, basically saying the same thing. That, hey, man, we're like a bunch of Islamophonatic nutbags. And we got to make sure like we appeal to these people to pull them over downstairs to get them in our movement. I told you. Receipts incoming. Receipts incoming.

Patriot dad is a Patriot dad. You heard of this guy on X, he's fantastic. You better pee. for ever too. I love you all. I do. I say it all the time. I said it on Twitter this morning when the pod track rankings came out. You have no idea. At my entire everything good in my life comes from God first and you second. It does. Well, family second obviously, but you get my point. I consider you part of my bigger family. I love you guys. You're the best. Okay. Back to the show. There's no escaping. I'm not letting them escape this. You chose to campaign with this guy. So I'm talking to you black voters out there. Why? Why would you talk to a black voters out there? Because I've been warning you for a long time that the Democrats don't care about you. I'm really sorry. Again, I'm not telling you like the Republicans are some elixir and panacea for all of your problems. We've screwed up stuff too. There's no doubt about it. I get that. I'm just telling you the cause of most of your problems in the black community. The cause of most of your problems. That by the way, or in the white community too, but you'll see why this is important now. Whether it's schooling problems, poor schools, whether it's if you or maybe you don't, but if you live in a high crime area, a poor economy, these are the Democrats doing this. There is no largely majority black community anywhere that's led exclusively by Republican. No, they're all led by Democrats who are screwing you over. They're using you for power. They will send your kid to the crappiest schools in the country on a whim just because they can. Here's Hassan Piker. Why do I keep playing sky? Because they trodden this guy out in a campaign trail. They love him. The same party that claims to be a big advocate for black civil liberty, civil rights, black empowerment. Really? I want you to listen to this guy. Again, ladies and gentlemen, in his own words, how he really feels about you, the black voter out there. Check this out. Fuck what black people care about. Oh, black people care about this black people care about that. Like, shut the fuck up. That's not how politics works. Oh, well, Hassan, how dare you? Like it or not. Black people care about this issue. It's like, it's such a fucking stupid stance. Any other black folk want to engage in radical activist language in this fucking chat? Suck my ****. Yes, dude. It's because I'm racist. That's why it's because I'm racist, dude. Go back to a better time when lynchings were happening. This is what I like as a black man. Are you always doing too much with black people? Leave them alone. I want to go back to lynching like I get it, but relax. Man, shut the **** up. Okay. God damn you got me. Okay, you got me because I'm off racist person. That's just his words, guys. Ladies, that's just his words. I want you to understand nobody, just like nobody forces the media on the Air Force one or in the motorcade knowing there's a danger. Nobody forced prominent Democrat candidates for Congress in the United States Senate, an offer dog catcher to go and campaign with this guy. Nobody. They did it because why producer Jim, we haven't done this for a while because they wanted to because they love him. Again, black voters out there. I am not telling you like the Republicans are going to solve every one of your problems tomorrow that we haven't had issues with knuckleheads too. We just want to a whole primary process, kicking knuckleheads out of our movement who were professing some of the same bullshit about different racial and religious groups. We try, we are trying desperately to clean this mess up. Not only are they not trying to clean this mess up on the left. They're bringing the mess in the sandbox. They're taking a dump in their own sandbox. Yeah, yeah. Hassan, come on in. Black for, we don't give a shit about black for lynchings. What? Jay was wasting your show with it. No, no, man, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. Slater stone, why give time to this? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I love you in the chat. I appreciate your opinion. I'm sorry, you're wrong. You know, damn well, if there was a Republican party candidate who had said those exact same words, or someone who was campaigning with any Republican party candidate, doesn't even matter from city council to president. You know, damn well, this would be an intergalactic cosmic scandal. No, they want us so badly, so badly to not talk about this. No, I'm sorry. I'd have to lose every listener before I did no way. I am, there are no trade backs. You can attack me. Oh, I am absolutely gluing this to them because they chose this, not me. Now I've been telling you black voters, Jewish voters, voters in Asian voters, the left hates you. They cannot stand you. They hate your guts. They are deceiving you. I want you to watch this clip that was just unearthed by mom, dummy. Was this end wokeness? I'm on a hat tip, right? I think you found this another good account on X to follow. You know, we like to hat tip here. Here's mom, dummy a while ago, a pre-Mayor. Here's him talking about how they use validators to go into the white progressive community to incorporate them into like their Islamophonatic unholy alliance and how they make it comfortable for white progressives and others to like detach themselves solely from ideology and run on identity alone. They're playing you for fools. How do I know that? Because they're proud of it. They openly talk about it. Don't listen to me. Listen to them. Listen to this clip by mom, dummy. If there was ever a clip that nails the unholy alliance between progressive communists and Islamophonatics, this is it. And there's validators and bridges between the two, mom, dummy being one of them in the middle. Check this out. Interesting thing about our communities here is I think that minority communities, because we have never had representation, we are tied much more to identity. White communities they've had representation forever. And so for them, their tie is a little less identity and a little more ideology. And so what I mean by that is we have a lot of voters here who think of themselves first as progressive voters. And so we reach out to them speaking about our platform, our progressive platform. And you're very right that you need someone in the middle to be a validator, someone to tell them to trust us, believe in us. Thank you to the person in the chat. I'm sorry, it goes so fast. I missed it. We said, listen, man, Dan shows about the truth. If you're not for it, like the show's not for you, that's okay, man. That's, that's okay. It's okay. Look, there's an on-piker. I didn't even put this in show with Bernie Sanders and AOC. You don't get to run away from this. This is the truth, folks. You have to understand. I get why people in the chat might say that, like, damn, we already know this guy, Piker's crazy. Folks, how many times I have to tell you this that debating the modern left is always about the third party. What do you mean? It's that the hard left people are done. They're in a cult. They're never, they're like the people who believe all these crappy conspiracy theories in full-lex manga. They're, you're not going to convince them. So why talk about it? You're like, well, I already get it. And if they're not going to listen, why? Because I promise you, they're a, we, this audience right now, it's 39 minutes in. There's almost 48,000 people here on this show. This is a stadium full of people. There are people in here for the first time who've never heard this stuff. They're like, my gosh, like, I'm a black or Asian or Jewish voter. And you're telling me like the Democrats are campaigning with guys who apologize for rape and openly say, like, they don't really give a shit about black voters and talk about them in the most racist way possible. Yes. Yeah. That's the first time they've seen it. And I saw you, I was reading a chat again with the voices of the Dems. This guy, Mamdani's voices, his voice changes. His accent, the way he speaks to people, depending on the crowd. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's talking to a bunch of progressive libs who were suckers and loved to hear this. Oh my gosh. Look, he's speaking with a foreign accent or dialect. He must be some kind of genius or something. God forbid, he was like a evil white man or something like that. So they fake it. It's all fake. Matter of fact, we got to follow up from yesterday. And did you put this together? Is this, you know our segment voices of Dems. And I'm running for president of VSG. There are a few reasons that we're looking at this year. One has to do with representation. How can we represent all voices in a conversation? I wanted to do this by partnering with organizations from the Boone Democrats to the Boone Republicans. This is the worst one yet. We've got good news that Sunday always comes. What raise in the chat? See, I do change my voice for Mottles in the chat. That's the best one yet. Mottles in his shirt, tear it up in his shirt. That's the same guy. Why do they do that? Why do they do that? Because they're hustlers. They're gay. Gamers, they're scammers. That's it. That's a lot of muttlies tear it up. Melt that chat down with the muttlies. Melt it down. Burn that chat to the ground. That's who these people are to black voters out there. You notice that this guy Pearson and Mamdami, they openly admit they're trying to recruit you into this identity politics thing and divorce you from any sound ideology you maybe subscribe to that they're just playing you. I did be do want to get played the Republican party message for the good ones not the bad ones is the same for everybody right to defend yourself the right to life. Free fair economy relatively low taxes control spent it's the same message we don't speak differently to black audiences about a black message and a white message why do you allow this to happen man. And not only that they lie to you about replacement theory stuff to oh my gosh those evil Republicans and replacement theory. Here's some Mike I don't know if this was hidden camera or what they're at some little little speech these two lunatics are giving one of them's a New York state assembly woman the elements of congressional candidate and they're openly talking about how they use illegal immigrants for political power political power against too. Against you if you are a member of the black community and minority district run by Democrats I want you to understand that they are using illegal immigrants to dilute your vote ladies and gentlemen it is a simple math problem listen to me if let's just use easy small round numbers. If ten people voted in election for Congress and then you double that pool to twenty people you had ten illegal immigrants onto the ballot to vote then your vote is worth half. It's not hard easy to figure out correct listen to them openly talk about this stuff they are giving you the double barrel middle finger bro I'm sorry just listen to the rumors check this out. This country that my friends moved to Florida and that that was a very different political context in which to to to be call you from the society that way. And so I understand that you know sometimes because of our own safety because of the political context because of your power you know you may not be as out and proud or active in particular roles that maybe maybe public in your politics. But I do want to say that there are so many ways in which you can be involved behind the scenes and small part of the work that I did and the reason I went to Queens was because I saw the political power that I documented workers and documented people in Queens were building. And you know I see some company was here that I work with at night. Shout out. Who are part of this movement right and so I know deeply and personally in first hand that you don't have to have papers to have power right. You don't have to have papers to have power actually that's not the way this works you actually do have to be a citizen to vote in federal elections you actually do. But they don't care because they were attacking you these are people running in blue districts I mean yes the attack is on the American system of government granted point stipulated. But the specific parochial attack is on you in your neighborhoods who is you black voters Hispanic voters white progressive voters you are getting smoked by a bunch of people from foreign countries that are here illegally that they are using for power they openly talk about it. What part of you getting your political balls kicked in and being mocked and humiliated by people you think are your advocates and champions what part of that doesn't bother you. You're a sucker you're a sucker. Maybe that's not the easiest message for you to hear but sometimes the syrup of epicac is the only way you're going to throw this poison up. I don't know what else to tell you man they're telling you to your face they don't give a shit about you. I'm not folks we're not letting this go to the guy in the chat who said that before correct this show is about the truth and is about getting the message out to voters out there we're still up in the air and confused and think the Democrats are the party of coexistence bumper stickers and tolerance they're not the party of any of that. They're the party of destroying the constitutional republic through the death and destruction of socialism and that's it put an exclamation point on it. And I'm not falling for this oh it's just like the tea party stuff I said that to you before I want to watch this clip this is Scott Jennings he's on one of the weekend shows and he's debating Donna Brazil who's a you know a pretty prominent Democrat activist and Donna Brazil tries to make this analogy here too that oh this is just like the tea party Jennings like no I don't recall the tea party voting to basically abolish the skeleton and muscles of the entire constitutional republic. I don't recall that no one else does either because it never happened check this out. I saw in the Republican side whether it was through the tea party in 2010 the activists who helped to bring about the mega movement and with all due respect to my friend Donna there's nothing like. You can't draw any equivalence between the tea party movement and the socialist for one the tea party folks weren't trying to bring about the downfall of western civilization and the United States of America abolish the police abolish ice abolish borders abolish the Senate abolish the Constitution but there was nothing like this in the Republican party. So it's it's an extreme political ideology that is gaining traction the Democrat leadership has lost control they know it and people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Hong and Wisconsin at Dua El-Sahed in Michigan. You talk about the big tent the Democrat Jewish attorney general of Michigan cannot even go to her parties nominating convention because she says I won't be safe there because of the supporters. Of Abdul El-Sahed you can't draw any equivalence between what happened in the Republican party with the resurgence of patriot conservatives versus these anti-American radicals. Thank you Scott for saying that you are a hundred percent correct. I don't, as a matter of fact I would love it for Democrat activists Donna or anyone else to pin on my back a label this guy was a tea party conservative and still is and I run from nothing zero. I am proud of every single thing I campaigned on and everything that movement represented to this day period. Why are you guys trying to divorce yourself if it's the same thing no one no tea party conservative I know is divorcing themselves from that movement why are you guys why is a you see all woke one. Why because you know you lied to people you know everything you said was BS because you simply wanted power and ladies and gentlemen a lot of these people on the left they're starting to realize that the people who have empowered themselves in this Democrat socialist movement are idiots. No I mean like actual morons they are idiots this lady that was that you may have seen this on cable news yesterday I'm going to use a different clip because you know if you see on cable news all day you don't need to see it here okay. This lady what's her name Megan Romer some she is the DSA co chair Democrat Socialist of America this is a very prominent person in their movement I want to show you how their only goal is deception and power there that's it they don't have any policy. And sure they do a boss they don't care about any of that folks they're saying whatever needs to be said to get power and if they have to abolish the Senate they will if they can use the Senate to take power they'll you they'll love the Senate tomorrow they don't know anything they're only goal is power I need you to understand that I know this they will flip on a dime just like you see do the tequila and lie to you about anything if it polls better tomorrow that they shouldn't abolish the Senate but expand the Senate to 7000 members they'll say that tomorrow too they don't stand for anything only power listen to this numb nuts as David Remnick from the New Yorker who's no conservative at all by the way starts asking a simple question about like Russian Ukraine and this absolute in the sale says like Russia is a hyper capitalistic out Russia with a lot of people hyper capitalist she actually said that it's like I don't recall any diplomacy with Ukraine really I don't need I never saw that I didn't it was none this actually happened this is how stupid these people are check this out. I believe in pouring US money military weapons into anything we don't think it makes it better anywhere but obviously Russia is this oligarchic dictatorship which is hyper capitalist and Putin is this crazy right wing oligarch of course he is going to to make horrific human life ending decisions. Well this is this precisely why those countries wanted to be in NATO yes but why aren't we doing. any amount of actual diplomacy. Why aren't we doing any amount of actual sending actual human beings to talk to human beings and figure out what? I don't understand what kind of there's been all kinds of diplomacy, however, failed since the beginning of the invasion. We shouldn't send weapons to the Ukrainians. No. So just allow Russia to overrun Ukraine entirely. We should be sending huge teams of diplomats. We should be figuring out how to negotiate, how to get Russia off Ukraine's back. We should, yeah, absolutely. So Russia would get off of Ukraine's back by ascending diplomats. I don't think that there is adequate negotiation. I don't think that there has been anywhere near adequate diplomacy. I love that you ended with Remnik's face. Remnik's confused. Like, is this woman an idiot? There have been no efforts at diplomacy in the Russia-Ukraine war? Did you miss Donald Trump and Putin, their whole summit? Did you miss Zelinsky at the White House multiple times? Did you miss the multiple delegations of U.S. representatives going over to Ukraine? Everyone from, oh, my gosh, they actually have a video. Justin, God forbid you show receipts. This clearly is AI. President Trump and Putin with Air Force wanted a bank that didn't happen. Megan Romer said, "Oh, look at it. There's a Zelinsky at the White House in a famous meeting. It was only worldwide news. These people are imbecils. They, this lady's an idiot. You want to put this lady in charge with Hassan Piker and others. And you want us to walk away from it like, they're running with these people. Folks, they don't know anything. They are idiots." Yeah. Obviously. I love when they say, obviously, you know who else does that to? Obviously. They say that as if you're dumb with them. Obviously, there hasn't been enough diplomacy. Did you miss all this? Did you ever read this thing called the newspaper? You can actually read it on your phone, you know? Try anything that Daily News, the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, anything. Just go put before you answer the question. Was there any diplomacy in Ukraine and chat GPT? No, none. No one did anything. They just sat on the sliders. Are you insane? Folks, everything they tell you is stupid, uninformed, ridiculous, and is meant only as a bridge. I use that word intentionally to sucker you to get them to give you power so they can f you over hard. Take your money. Take your kids. Take your property. Remember the activists on that high tops video, the LGBTQ thing. We got to catch the kids early. Take them at their word, they're not kidding. I saw this video floating around yesterday, this lady trying to defend Mamdami and is a government supermarkets in New York City, government supermarkets. What is this the Soviet Union? Government supermarkets. She doesn't even know anything about the plan. She's like, yeah, Mamdami is going to be able to sell groceries for cheaper than people who actually sell groceries for a living, but not because there's any taxpayer money involved. He's just like a super genius who figured it out. Really, all the guy did who debunks this stuff is goes and pulls the documents and shows this lady's just an idiot. Check this out. I don't understand how Mamdani can afford to sell groceries at 30% less. If most grocery stores operate at a 1 to 2% profit, you set it yourself. You don't understand. First, it's not hard to understand how Mamdani is going to sell groceries at a 30% discount. They're just going to use the city's money to subsidize the groceries. There's nothing that says the costs of these groceries are going to be fueled by your tax dollars. If you're saying that, you're just making it up. Well, let's just look at the official published documentation for program operators. It says that New York City economic development corporation and collaboration with the city will deploy various resources to make the partnership successful and financially sustainable for grocery store operators. In a New York City economic development corporation, we'll provide operating financial support to the operators in the form of an affordability payment. Subject to the operators compliance with the terms of any executed agreements. Blah blah blah. They're also going to provide financial support to the operators to mitigate operating deficits attributable to discounted core basket sales and enable cost effective program deliver. That's what I mean when I say she didn't really look into the issue at all. It's the official documented plan of the city that they're going to pay the grocery store operators to achieve the 30% discount. How else would that work? Hat tip I think so on X. Oh, yeah, how to do was look it up, man. That's it. I know sometimes it's painful for people to have this awakening moment like clockwork, orange style, man, eyes wide open, like, man, I've been lied to. These Democrats are bullshitting me about everything. They're bullshitting me so much that when you look up the Democrats to Mamdami administration's own documents, it says the opposite of what this lady saying, I know it's tough for you to look in the mirror and say, gosh, I'm an idiot. I know that's hard. There's going to be a reckoning there. I understand. I know that's got to be tough for you, but it's got to happen. Because you are, in fact, an idiot. Folks, even the Washington Post is now starting to admit that this whole government stealing people's money, taxing people to death and spending endless sums over and over. Even the Washington Post is starting to admit this is going to result in an apocalypse. When this is appearing in the Washington Post, look at the date, August 10, 2026, it's not from 10 years ago. When America's budget will break, disastrously, telling you something, I've been telling you the entire time, the national debt and the amount of money we're spending that the Democrats want to add to now to spend more is already unsustainable. By 2030, we reach a breaking point where we can no longer pay the bills if something drastic doesn't change. Can you imagine what it's like for the Washington Post to have to admit this? We got a choice coming up. We have a choice in this election. You know what's happening? I'm finding now the dooms and the grifters, again, with the demoralization ops on our side. They just can't stop. They don't want you to vote. They want to let the other side take over. You got a freaking death cult in the Massachusetts governor's office, this governor Healey, just signed a bill to allow abortion like up to birth. That's got a name. It's called homicide. That actually happened. And we're getting lost about, with the nothing is happening, doomers and bullshitters on our side. Are you kidding me? Folks, we got to focus, man, this this fight we're involved right now is we need is real. The republics at stake, man, this isn't like hyperbolic language. Just listen to the people trying to destroy, put up that tweet. This is real. Look at this. Proudly, look, they all start clapping. Massachusetts governor, Mara Healey, signs the bill for abortions up to birth as Democrats celebrate, have tip life news, HQ on X, they're all clapping. This is great. We get to murder children. This is the death cult. And we're getting lost with the doomers and the gloomers and the nothing is happening, crowd. I'm going to get to more some of that tomorrow. I had a bunch of other stuff I want to get to, but I'm just running out of time. I just want to point out to this daily yeast, complete loser who is just like obsessed. Listen, if this lady shows up at, you know, at my house or something, I'm going to have this Annabella Risquiglioni, again, is really obsessed with it. She went after Mike yesterday, Alfonso, you know, Mike used to work for the show, saying Mike, he's not qualified to run for Congress, this lady. I'd like to see her qualifications to run for Congress. Of course, that's the throw with X. He's really obsessed with this show and her bosses at the Daily Yeast, the tabloid, seemed to really enjoy. So we'd like to see her qualifications. I'd like to see her qualifications to be commenting on if she is this authority figure. The way she went after Mike, you know, I got to tell you, it was just one of the more disgusting and shows you how this is nothing more than tabloid trash, but she's just obsessed with the show. Listen, Annabella, we're not going to date you. I'm sorry. We're already taken. We're not. You can keep trying, but we're just not going to do it. We're just not going to do it. Disgusting. All right. Let me get to my spot, comment of the day, and then we got a great interview coming up for you with Patriot Dad, really going to love it. This is good stuff right here. Check this out.

(upbeat music) You know, I love introducing you to people. I really enjoy their content. This guy has been taken off on social media, I've seen his account. It's really great. I mean, you might talk about a level headed guy with a great information, Patriot dad, check 'em out on X. He's at Patriot dad, EV77. We'll call you PD. So PD, welcome to the show. So good to have you. - Thanks Dan, I really appreciate the opportunity. I was telling you in the green room. Huge fan, P1 listener, I've been around for a long time and the opportunity to join you on the show is really, it's an honor. So thank you. - Nah, listen, thank you, man. I mean, listen, people gave me a shot and I just feel an obligation. If it's really not about you, which is not, then it's an obligation for people like us to pass that mantle and pass that torch on to other people as well. If people are getting out a good message, it's gotta be about the message and you can't make yourself the focal point of it. I think that's a huge mistake. It's not a zero sum game. Yeah, content wise, people have a podcast shelf and there's only a few they're gonna listen to, but that doesn't prevent you from following the account on X and watching five minutes of this and five minutes of that. So I really enjoy your stuff. I find you to be so level headed in this environment. And when I say this environment, this is kind of my first question, you know? I saw this a lot. I had left for a year, obviously went into the FBI and had to be very circumspect in what I would put out here. And it's not about you anymore. I was working for the administration. You know, I did very few media appearances. I think it was four or five that was in the year I'd been gone. But I watched and I really couldn't believe some of this stuff that was happening. It was like we won the Magaside one and the movement instantly fractured. And you had this group of people out there just pumping out every garbage conspiracy theory known to man. I found you to be one of the level headed guys saying, "Well, is there any evidence for that?" And the technique they use, which I think you saw there, I've even seen you explain this a lot, is they overwhelm you with information, but they underwhelm you with actual evidence. It reminds me of the usual suspect. You know, we can put you in Queens at the night of the robbery. Yeah, I live in Queens. You figure that out by yourself. You've got a team of monkeys working around the clock. We got to learn to see through that. Yeah, I mean, it's obvious. It's everywhere. It's totally pervasive. And it became evident almost from day one when Donald Trump stepped into office back in January of 2025 that there was a strategy at play. The strategy is very simple. It's to dazzle you with a bunch of information and then to totally underwhelm you with evidence. And you saw it with the Epstein hoax. You saw it with the Candace Owen stuff that's going on. You see it with the foreign intelligence operations that's happening. It's not about accuracy for most of these people. It's about clicks and engagement. And there's nothing more engaging in social media today than just throwing a bunch of information out and then letting people run with it. I mean, can you imagine sitting around at the end of the day? I couldn't, Dan, I don't think you could either. There's no way I could go to sleep at every night, lay my head down and feel good about knowingly lying to people all over social media. And yet that's what works, unfortunately. So it's going to require those of us who actually care about honesty, integrity, the truth, making sure people are accurately informed when they go into the voter booth to cast ballots. It's going to require that we do the long hard work of digging into what these people are saying and exposing it for what it is. It's an intelligence operation. It is an effort to dismantle, distract, and totally divide the megabase. And I'm not going to let it happen. And there's a lot of us out here that refuse to allow a few grifters, because that's what they are. Let's be totally honest. They are grifters. They are following the engagement, what I call the click bucks, all over social media and anywhere that they can. Now some of them obviously have a much more nefarious agenda. We saw this with like the Thomas Massies and the Epstein hoax stuff. Thomas Massie didn't give a crap about Jeffrey Epstein. He couldn't have cared less until it became very politically expedient for him and the agenda that he was pushing. And interestingly enough, I found this. One of the things that I love to do, my team and I on the Patriot Source podcast, we love to dig into specific topics and just drive them home as much as possible. And would you be surprised to find out that Thomas Massie didn't start caring about the Epstein files until almost the exact same time that the Trump administration announced that we were going to bomb Iran. We were going to take out their nuclear facilities. And then you start to find relationships with people like Tritaparci and the Quincy Institute and Rokana and then you know where that money is coming from and you can see it developing right in front of your eyes. The question is do people have the attention span to actually dive into the information and that's what we're going to try to help them to do. So that's what we do day in and day out, day in and day out because it's important. Our country is under attack by a group of authoritarian's who want to take control after Donald Trump leaves office and the only way they can do that is if they destroy him now. - You know Patriot Dad, that's why you didn't see a concerted effort like this in Trump 45, his first term. They knew he was going to run again and there was a fear of taking him on because they knew if they were to encounter him in a primary that they would probably get smothered. They would get politically crushed. So you didn't see it as, of course they were, you know, they were Trump here. I'm talking about within our own tent, the left so he's hated him with grit and we get all that. We're not talking about them for now. We're talking about what I call Pholex Maga. You know, the fake Rolex Maga, the people who pretended to be part of our tent more. They largely stayed quiet because they realized the political power of this new Maga movement, the incorporation of large groups of minorities for the first time that Donald Trump had built a coalition they had talked about but they never successfully done themselves. So they stayed quiet. Now that they know he's term-limited and can't run again, now you see this just explosion of the dooms and the grifters. But I mean, I'll listen, I'm a rose color glasses guy. I'm an optimist, call me crazy, but I've been in the business a long time. I don't want to be dramatic about it. Like Sean's been around like 30 years longer, Mark Levin and others. These are guys who gave me my shot. But I've been around a little over 10 years now. You know, I've been through the Huckabee Santorum fights, the Min Romney primaries, the DeSantis Trump fights. I mean, I've been through all these before and I find what happens is voters are pretty smart people. They get it after a while. Sometimes they do fall in the trap. You and I are seeing it now. They'll fall for some of this stuff because it's, you know, it appeals to emotion. I mean, some people get sucked into a vortex. But eventually people get tired of being lied to. You see it on the left end, the right. It's what happened with Rachel Maddow after her 4,000 T's about out. We got Trump this time. Eventually people just kind of gave up on her. You know, I think that's going to happen here in this movement too because all the people you just cited have claimed all of these things. I'm going to read all these animals and they never actually did it. So sooner or later it's either like get it done or get off the ball. You know what I'm saying, brother, like get it done. - Yeah, I mean, that's exactly right. I think most reasonable people after being gas lit to the extent that we're being gas lit, they just make a conscious decision. Like I'm not going to follow this anymore. If you can't deliver the receipts two, three, four, five times in a row, it's time to move on. There's one challenge to that. And that's why I do think that the people who are spending the majority of their time on social media trying to debunk this stuff. One thing that Candace Owens does really, really well. She's incredibly effective at it is she makes her audience feel like they are part of what she's doing. And the psychology, Dan, you know this. I mean, you studied psychology. You understand how this works. Instead of just going out and just throwing slop on the table, she's bringing people in to her movement into what I call a cult. I mean, there's no doubt about it. it acts and behaves exactly. like a cult would behave. And she's enabled this group of people to become these mommy sleuths. And now everything that she says, they now become advocates for because they feel like they're connected to it. But the problem is most people aren't. So when they see things like I just saw just yesterday, she just posted a photograph of someone that appears to be Tyler Robinson walking through a garage that was shown at the evidentiary hearing. And it is obvious to anybody paying attention that the photograph that was shown was clearly manipulated. And yet you still have people on social media who will die on the hill. That because she posted it, it's got to be real. Those are people who are invested in what she's doing. But that's not going to last for long. You're going to have maybe a handful of these people who are who are making money handover fists doing this. You're going to have some of the 9 a.m. mommy wino club people who wake up and they that's all they do all day. But people understand that we have really important things to deal with in this country. We have an economy that is getting ready to explode because of what Donald Trump is doing in the economy. We have this existential threat happening in America where communist and socialist really what I what I've started to consider the politics of confiscation has decided that now is the time to make their move to try to take over the Democrat party. Hand out just take it out. I mean that they think that this is the perfect opportunity for it. So it's going to take reasonable minded people willing to say we're going to not going to be distracted by this. We can engage in it. We can communicate on it. We can debunk things when they come up. But we've got an election to win folks. There's a midterm coming up in just a couple of months. And we have very real issues we're going to have to deal with. And most of us are just going to put Candace Owens in a rearview mirror at this point because honestly she's just wasting time. Give our buddy Patriot dad a follow on ex ad Patriot dad EV 777. It's worth your time. You just kind of nailed home a point. I'm very concerned about the doomer grifter strategy again in full x mag is very clear. It's constantly tell people nothing's happening. Ignore the close border, the crime numbers, the just explosion in the manufacturing index, the the the on shoring again of high quality. You got electricians making 250 K a year working at some of these cloud computing data centers we're putting together. Listen, I'm not a huge fan of tariffs. But there's a lot of money's been generated from tariffs that could potentially be used to offset income taxes and more damaging forms of taxes. So there are a lot of things going on saying nothing is happening. Now now it's fair to say I don't like what's happening. That's I don't agree, but it's totally fair. That's it. You're right to an opinion like I do. But the same nothing is happening. It's just nonsense. It's just indicative of your own ignorance or your ability to lie to people. I think the the biggest problem I have with this whole thing is what you just said though, the fight we're having now with the Democrats is not the fight we have with the Bill Clinton Democrats, not a fan of Bill Clinton. But the guy gave a speech saying the era of big government is over. You say that now you'd be tarred and feathered in the Democrat party. We're fighting people now talking about abolishing prisons, defunding the police, talking about how rapes don't bother them on October 7th, how we deserve 9/11, they're campaigning with this guy. I mean, this these are not milk toast policy positions. These are these are positions that if these kind of people and their associates are to get in office, you're talking about the actual destruction of the republic as we know it and we're getting distracted by doom and grifting and just straight up lying. Nothing is happening. It's just crap. Yeah, I mean, it's it is very clearly the destruction of the Western civilization. That's their stated objective. That's the goal. And you can see it in just about every policy position that they present it. You can see it when they talk about things like abolishing the Senate. There's there is zero constitutional method by which you can abolish the Senate. As a matter of fact, the Senate is the only institution that according to the Constitution cannot be abolished. You can change it, but Article 5 of the Constitution very clearly lays out that the state is guaranteed its suffrage in Congress, which means that you cannot abolish the Senate. The only way that you could possibly do that is for full-scale revolution. It's the elimination of the Constitution. That's it. There's no other mechanism. And the fact that they are boldly communicating that that's what they want to do should tell you everything about who these people are. And the fact that they think the time is now for them to make your move should also tell you the condition of the adversary, the Democrat party. They feel like they have the perfect opportunity to take over the entire Democrat party so that they can own a political party and then drive their message. Folks, this is an existential threat. Candice Owens, what's happening in social media is incredibly important. But when you go out and look to try to find out what exactly these people are planning to do to this country, I came across an article that was written not too long ago. And it was effectively, I think it was Project 2028. I think it was, I can't remember the name of the top of my head, but it was an article written by two DSA members and they talk about what they plan to do when DSA gets into office in 2028. And it is full-on revolution. It is full confiscation of the means of production. It is freezing assets so people can't leave. It is eliminating, eliminating every tenant of our republic that you can possibly think of. This is the fight. This is what we need to be focused on. And that's what we are focused on here at the Patriot Swarth Podcast. And I try to tailor a lot of my content on as helping people understand that despite the rhetoric that we're seeing from the politics and confiscation, people aren't buying it. I mean, have you looked at what makes up the Democrat Socialists of America? Less than 5% of their membership are people who actually build things, people who are actually helping to grow this economy. Blue collar workers, skilled tradesmen are the ones who are watching their incomes increase $45,000 over the last year. They're the ones who are, in fact, becoming entrepreneurs and are taking those skilled trades and they're turning them into businesses. They are largely the means of production in the country. It is those skilled people who are building the data centers, who are building the cloud computing, who are literally building the manufacturing base that Donald Trump is revitalizing through the American system of political economy. These are the people that are going to be the targets of the politics of confiscation. And I think they're smart enough to realize that when communist and Socialists talk about confiscating the means of production, they're talking about confiscating your means of production, not some obscure billionaire who's got most of his money and commodities and assets somewhere. They're talking about the plumber, the engineer. They're talking about the electrician, the people who put risk, put skin in the game, went out open to business and are now thriving an economy that is basically, we're effectively using the same process that was used to build the country after the revolution, the same process that was used to rebuild it after the Civil War. It's the process that McKinley used, that Lincoln used to rebuild, revitalize the middle class. And I think when people see what the politics of confiscation promises, they realize that it will never be successful because the American system of political economy that Donald Trump is amplifying is the only thing that actually works to rebuild the middle class. And that's the reason why when people ask me, has Donald Trump ever done anything wrong that you disagree with him? Like yeah, sure, totally. I mean, there's a lot of things about Donald Trump that I don't necessarily align with 100%. I mean, I am a born-again, spirit-filled Christian. And sometimes he says things that let's be honest, kind of make me feel a little weird. But I agree in his agenda. And I agree in the results that I've seen and I understand where he's going. And if the Republican Party can find it somehow within themselves to recognize that the only way that this Republic survives is if we focus on rebuilding this country from the ground up, not destroying it through the politics of confiscation and socialism and communism. Yeah, and listen, they're not hiding it. I mean, if you want to know with the Democrat socialist agenda is just ask them. I mean, they'll tell you, it's not like anything you just said, the Patriot dad made up abolish the Senate abolish. I say, just go put that in Twitter in the search bar and you'll see it. And you also said something else. I think it's really important. You know, if you think, oh, well, you know, I'm middle class and I'm safe from this. Abdul Al-Sayed, the socialist candidate Michigan who just want a major party Senate nomination, just openly said like, no, no, we're basically going to tax the middle class too to take away your health care to give it to the government to control your like he just admitted it. It's it, you know, it's, but this is one of the point I wanted to make on this Tuesday. One of the reasons I'm so bothered and the thing I, if I had a triage, my concerns, triage, my concerns right now, it is the incorporation into Follex Maga of leftist victimhood. This idea that some collective group of people, not an individual, but a collective group of people must have done this thing to you that led to this position you're in. The Jews have done it. The evangelicals have become a target lately. Protestants, I am neither of those things. I'm Catholic and I say to people all the time, Patriot Dad, I say listen. This to me is not about the Jews. It's not. It's about collective guilt. Like this never goes anywhere, but death, destruction, torture. We've had holocaust, mass exterminations in communist countries. I mean, what else do you, what historical example do you need me to point out? And the fact that I've seen the same technique leveraged by people pretending to be on our side, where every single problem. Like now it's like the Hunter Biden laptop. It's like the Jews that you're like, holy Moses. Like at what point do we realize like, this is a leftist technique to get a bunch of people into a corner of like a WWE ring and just like beat the crap out of each other except it's real. You know, like you cannot fall for this. This to me is a public threat number one within our own 10th. - Completely agree. And you're absolutely right. It is a technique. It's a technique that's been borrowed from the radical left because- - Correct. - You can see it work. I mean, you can see it deployed. So you can see when people in social media are using the exact same tactics of the left. And we should not be surprised by this. I mean, folks, do you understand that when the Democrat Socialist of America broke off from the international social organization and then connected themselves directly into the Cuban radicalization networks, they started developing this strategy of- Dan, you're familiar with the guy named Antonio Gramsey who's kind of sitting in fascist prisons. He developed this framework that helped revolutionaries understand why they were not able to take over the West. Infectively, what he said is, you're not gonna be able to destroy a Christian nation until you destroy the culture. And the only way to destroy the culture is to break the cultural hegemony, the thing that makes the country who they are. So you have to go after the collective mindsets, the values that the country collectively believe in, Christian values, moral values, capitalist values. You have to go after those things collectively. You have to go after the relationship between the United States and Israel. Are there things that are going on in Israel that you probably disagree with? Yeah, maybe. Sure. But they are one of our best allies. They are one of our best partners in the Middle East. That is a relationship that they have to break. And unfortunately, the people that make up what I have referred to as Faga, fake-ass gay-ass Americans, these people who are black pillars, they understand exactly how to use the same tactics. You have to break the hegemony, and Dan, one thing I'll say. So right after the Charlie Kirk assassination, my team and I were starting to dive into what happened in that event. And one of the things that we came across was a blog post written by an Antifa organization. And in that blog post, they talked about how, in order to break the hegemony of the conservative right who were basically becoming united because of that event, they were going to use Israel as the wedge to do it. And you should not be surprised to find when people who are obviously operating on behalf of foreign intelligence operations are using the same tactics that people like Antifa were talking about right after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It's a strategy, it's a tactic. And unfortunately, it's working for some people. But I do think a lot of people are starting to wake up, Dan. I think that they have had enough of being lied to. They've had enough of the propaganda and they realized that we're at a critical junction in our country's history. It's either going to be authoritarianism or it's going to be rebuilding the middle class in the American economy. You can't do both at the same time. And I think people know that. - Yeah, I got to run, but I definitely share your optimism is again, someone who's just as a function of time, I've been in this space for well over a decade, we've been a top performing show. Thanks to this amazing audience. I'd love them to death. But we've never let them down with sticking to a true North direction. And I think when you do that, it's cyclical at times. You're going to see this creep up. I've seen it at least two or three times. The various collective guilt movements, they surface on the right. You get some bots in there. There's a lot of real people doing, it's not all bots. But you get a lot of bots, a lot of foreign money that comes in. I know you see it on Twitter. You put up a post, you're like, oh my God, I can't believe all these people. It's not real, man, it's not real. Whenever they do like a wipe out of the body counts, you notice it goes down, like it's almost not existing after that. So I'm just telling you, someone who's been here a long time, and I know you don't need a lecture for me, you're already there. But just stay focused on being on the right moral arc of history, and your show is always going to do well. All this stuff always goes away. I could tell you a thousand names of people, some of them you'll be like, who the hell is that? I'll be like, exactly. The person was a big thing four or five years ago, and now they're complete zeros. You can find them on X at Patriot Dad, EV77, I keep point, 'cause I don't want to mess it up. At Patriot Dad, EV77, I wrote it down. Thank you so much for spending some time with us. We'd love to have you back if you're open for it, and I'll be watching your stuff. That was really great commentary. Thanks so much. - Appreciate it. Thank you for the opportunity, Dan. - You got it. Like I said, folks, it's not about us. It's not. I love the show. I love that you're here, but it's about passing that torch to other creators too, and making sure you're getting information from people who are just telling you straight. They're just telling you straight. I mean, that matters. That's sticking with that North direction. Thanks so much for tuning in and really appreciate it.
