They're Going For "Big Balls" (Ep. 2628)

We are not sunk yet. We will never surrender. We will never give up. Never, never, never. It's not who we are. It's not what we do. We never give up. All America, all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for The Dan Bongino Show. I hope you listened to the advice of the greatest who ever have done it, the greatest who ever will do it, the 30-year patriarch of this amazing movement, the great, God rest his soul, Rush Limbaugh. I'm not giving up, folks. I'm not giving up. I'm never giving up, ever. I don't care if we lose every freaking seat on Tuesday. Well, I care, but I don't care. It's not going to change my reaction the next day. It's not going to change it at all. This place, this is our house. No matter what happens, gutters break, the roof leaks. You don't just say, hey, I'm forfeiting the house, and I'm walking away. That's not the way this works. It's your house. It's your house, man. There's way too much negativity out there starting to infect our side of the aisle. I can't believe it. I'm just actually stunned, based on this two-year record of excellence that we have right in front of us to vote on, that there's even a consensus. I can't believe it. I'm just honestly stunned, based on this two-year record of excellence that we have right in front of us to vote on, I can't believe it. I'm just honestly stunned, based on this two-year record of excellence that we have right in front of us to vote on, that there's even a consensus. The Democrats don't care about that. That's not even a thing. That's not even item 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. It's not even item 100. It's impeach, lock up big balls and others. They're openly talking about this right now. These are not fringe figures either. you've been warned, we still got time. Early voting going on, elections on Tuesday. Make sure you join us election night, 8 p.m. Rumble.com slash Bongino. Download the Rumble app. I got a big show for you today. Let's get right to it, folks. It's Medicare's annual enrollment period right now. So one time of the year, you can make changes to your Medicare coverage. I know with all the sales calls and mailers, it's easy to get overwhelmed and to throw your hands up in confusion, but stay with me on this. 70% of people on Medicare never compare their options. They just let it ride. I get it. Medicare is confusing. My wife's mom had some questions and nobody talked to her about it. Every call turned into a sales pitch, right? But letting it ride is a big mistake. Your plan next year can look very different from this year and you could be left without the coverage you need when you need it most. I sent my mother-in-law over to Chapter. They were amazing. Chapter's advisors. One of the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. They're independent. They're honest. They're not paid to push one plan over another plan. Chapter answered every question in plain English, easy to understand. It was definitely worth our time. All this help is free, by the way, about 20 minutes or less. So call Chapter at 667-CHAPTER. Call Chapter today at 667-CHAPTER. Hear about your options. Don't be the 70% thanks, Chapter. We appreciate it. A lot to talk about today. Folks, it is now, it's not crunch time. It's beyond crunch time. You're at the one-yard line. There's three, four seconds left to go in the game. You ever see that Al Pacino speech from that movie, Any Given Sunday? Life's a game of inches. I'm not a huge fan of Al Pacino, whatever. Hollywood actors, do your thing, whatever. I don't really care. However, the scene's pretty freaking amazing. You should check it out sometime. Life is a game of inches. Wind blows a little bit different this way. You turn the wrong way this way on the football field, and you wind up losing the game. You kick the ball on a field goal attempt, One millimeter in the wrong spot, the thing is an inch wide left. Life's a game of inches, and you've got to fight for everyone. That fight's never going to stop. That fight's not going to go away. Even if we were to win more seats in the House and Senate on Tuesday, you know what? Wake up Wednesday morning, celebrate, and then get right back to work. The inverse. We get annihilated on Tuesday. What are you going to do? Wake up the next day and go, I'm moving to Canada? We're not doing that. Folks, if you decide to stay home, if you decide to stay home and say this election is not for me, remember this, the old adage, you may not do politics, but politics does you and it does you good and hard, however you want to take that. It doesn't matter if you do politics. Politics does you. Folks, I saw this yesterday and I sent it over to the guys on text. I'm like, do you believe this? They are now, I want you to understand, like, the hallmark of a totalitarian, tyrannical, fascist state is political repression, where they target people and invent the crime. The target of a republic is you target a crime and go find the people. I walk into the local police station. Oh, my gosh, my house was burglarized last night. The sheriff's department comes over. They fingerprint the house. They check out the video. Oh, look, we've got the guy. Here's a license plate. That's how it works. A totalitarian state, they target people and they go and find the crime later. That is what the Democrats are openly advertising right now if you were to put them back in power this coming Tuesday. Here's Kara Swisher. Kara Swisher is not a fringe figure. She has a hugely popular podcast, does probably millions of downloads a month. Hillary Clinton was on her show the other day she gets major political figures on is anyone going to renounce this here she is you think i was making this up about the big balls thing i mean i know the title is kind of funny but it's not a joke she's like we just need to start targeting people like what like randomly because they work for president trump they raise the right hand and promise to protect and defend the constitution of the united states so we just target them because we what we can here she is saying hey we're just gonna go pick people maybe let's go get uh big balls yeah this actually happened check this out but katherine as you point out are there are there actually any teeth is there potential for there to be teeth uh it seems unlikely in the next two years one of the things let me just click on that they could just pick a few people to me that's the way you go you pick like a hex at the musk and i don't know big balls someone like that like pick someone like that and then you know show what they did right and and rather than go for trump go for everybody make it so broad that'll exhaust people who just do want to move on i i don't i is andrew's like are they talking about folks do you understand what she just said this is not some now the ideas are fringe and crazy i want to be clear on that but kara swisher is not a fringe component of the progressive socialist communist left she's a major considered mainstream political figure she has specials on cnn she's not some you know on the left considered some crazed lunatic she's just randomly throwing he names it notice she makes no formal accusation or informal accusation of a crime at all it's like maybe we should maybe maybe we should just start randomly targeting oh i'll get big balls for those who don't know who big balls was he was a doge staffer who did nothing wrong he went into government to lean out government did an excellent job and he had some nickname whatever big balls like a joke so kara swisher's like maybe we should just like target him and what like throw him in jail? Folks, I want you to understand what you are voting for if you vote by staying home. But staying home is not voting. No, it's voting. It's voting for, it's allowing the Democrats to win because you took a pass. There is no taking a pass. You may not do politics, but politics does you, man. Politics does you. Folks, they're going to go after Hank Seth too. Are they going to impeach Trump, I would say the odds are close to 90%. They are also going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth, who has been doing yeoman's work, trying to clean up our military, juice recruitment again, getting us back to war fighting away from DEI, getting us more focused on weapon and supply chains acquisitions. And they hate it. They freaking hate it. They can't stand it. They are not looking to impeach pete hegseth our secretary of war because pete hegseth did something wrong they're looking to impeach him because he did something right here's president trump backing up his people commenting on exactly this yesterday saying Check this out. rhetoric about trying to impeach Pete Hegsteth and they win. I think it's terrible. All they do is they talk about impeaching everybody. I mean, honestly, if we wanted to play that game, we could play it just as well. But they're talking about Pete Hegsteth. He's doing a great job. He's a great warrior. I think he's the best at his job in many, many years. And a lot of people agree with that. Folks, we're running out of time to warn people. We're running out of time to do our 10, 10 and 10. Grab 10 people, bring them to the polls, drag them to the polls if you have to. Call 10 people, make 10 social media posts over the weekend. There is still time. Some of these races look great. Some of them look good. Some of them don't look good. It doesn't do me any good to paint you some ridiculous utopian vision where we're going to clean up and win all 400 plus seats in the House and 100 seats in the Senate. Not even all of them. There's only a third of the Senate. But you get the point. We've got to show up. The action, the do matters. The action matters. The filling in. The bubble to touch the screen, to pull the lever, whatever you need to do. Every member of your family, every one of your neighbors. Folks, the president's 80 years old. He's going back just so he's going back to Iowa and Kansas now. He's in Florida this weekend. He's all over the country. He's asking you for one more round for this Trump agenda so we can keep all of this good stuff going. Huge economic numbers yesterday. I'll get to that in a second. The border being closed, crime getting crushed. And folks, if you sit home and choose not to vote, that is a vote. It is a vote for this. I want to spend a moment here on a tweet yesterday that rocketed around the interwebs. It was from Elon Musk, who's got a small following on X. He's got a couple. What do you have, like two? Is it 200 million? I don't even know. Elon Musk is taking great risks to do this. Whether you like Elon Musk or don't, I appreciate what his entrepreneurship has done for the human race. But even if you don't like him, can we at least acknowledge that he's not going to do it? Can we at least acknowledge that Elon Musk is a businessman, is taking tremendous risk now, trying to warn you, trying to warn you about what's going to happen if you sit home and the Democrats win. There's no question they are going to tyrannically target his businesses for doing nothing other than having a set of political beliefs. He put this out yesterday. I'm going to read some of it for you because I need you to digest all of this, all of it. I quote tweeted it this morning. Elon says, My biggest concern is there's a clean sweep by the Dems of the House Senate presidency by 2028. They'll make D.C. and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate. Two, they'll open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement the permanent majority. Three, they will increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. It will result. Listen to this. It would result in America becoming a permanent one party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word. All that's needed to ensure this doesn't happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That's why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one. Folks, please. You know, I. I brought this up on the podcast yesterday. I'm asking you. I know it's hard. It's hard for me to sometimes to divorce your emotions from the results. If you were an old school establishment Republican and you just don't like President Trump, his discursive speaking. Style, you don't like his social media posts. Those are emotional reactions. You know, Peggy Noonan has this piece out in The Wall Street Journal, and I can't say this. I enjoy Peggy Noonan's work. None of this is personal. I read her up as she's definitely an old school type of Republican. She wrote this whole piece yesterday suggesting that the Republican Party under Donald Trump should get routed in this election. I'm acting as if there's no consequences in the real world for such a decision. That's an emotion. I don't think that's not a results. Based or even reasonable thing to write. You want to hand the country over to a bunch of people threatening to prosecute freaking big balls, stack the Senate, pack the Supreme Court, open the borders, let criminals run free on her on her streets, defund, isolate your kids, get get raped, murdered and killed because you had an emotional reaction to Donald Trump. Well, he doesn't act in a dignified. Well, that's your opinion. That's an emotional response. Not based on any results. Folks, I know, too, a lot of you have objections to early voting. I do. I've spoken about this. I don't even want to put a number on it. So many freaking times. I've run for office a couple of times. When you run for office, you see early voting differently. I hate early voting. Let me just get on the record. I always get people who email me back. Things they think I said when I actually said the opposite happens all the time. It's happening now with my segment the other day about getting prepared. This is like everywhere. Go put my name on some Google alert. There's got to be five, 10,000 articles out there in news pieces about people thinking like the end of the world is coming. Get prepared because it's good to be prepared. However, one of the things on early voting, I am not a supporter. Matter of fact, I hate it. There should be one national uniform election day with limited exceptions. Military overseas, people who are in nursing homes, hospice, infirmed, can't get out, and legitimate emergencies. I'll be traveling on a business trip. Here's the plane tickets. I will not be home to vote. Therefore, I may need an exception to that. That's it. Early voting is a mess. When you're a candidate, you'll see this yourself. I'll call early voting an incumbency protection program. If you are a well-financed incumbent, you love early voting because you can go out there. You can pay people to sit at the polls. For three weeks in California for seven months while they're voting, you can pay people in door knockers over and over and over to go out and go out and harvest votes on election day. It's kind of like show up that day or not. And even insurgent, not very well financed, but first time candidates stand a shot. I hate early voting. However, this is the unpopular part, but I'm not here to popularity contest. I think that's clear at this point. I tell people all the time things they don't want to hear. Because they're true. My reputation matters to me. Folks, we're stuck with early voting. And until we change it, we should bank our votes. It is just a matter of tactical efficiency, not emotional responses to it. I hate it, but it's here. Car accidents happen on election day. Traffic happens. Work things. We got to work late and you miss. We need to bank our votes. We're stuck with this system until we can trash it and go back to the far superior national election day. This is what we're stuck with. I get worried with early voting, too, if we don't bank our votes because it leads to a narrative problem, too, with the doomers that dissuades people from voting. Oh, my gosh. Look, Democrats are crushing us in the early voting. Well, Democrats vote early and we don't. So it gives them a narrative and more people go, I'm not voting. They're crushing us in early voting. Here's what I mean. Here's a Mark Halperin clip from his show. This isn't Mark talking, but here's a guy talking about Texas. And he's basically saying this, that the early voting numbers are through the roof. They're through the roof. But we don't know who's voting. It's a secret ballot. That creates a problem because the liberal media is now telling me, oh, my gosh, it's early voting. Democrats, they don't know that. Democrats are showing up in droves. Check this out. I looked deep into Texas numbers today. And their turnout is on fire right now. They get five and a half million people who've already voted. There's only 4.5 million votes that were cast in 22 early, 7.3 million in 24 in the presidential race. They're going to get to close to probably over 10 million. In the presidential race, only 11.4 voted there. They have massive turnout. But when I dug into three random rural GOP counties and two random rural Dem counties, they're both turning out about the same pace. It's not like you. Look at Hayes and Duvall, which are Dems that go, oh, man, they're way ahead of Potter and Walker and Howard, different parts of the state. It seems in Texas specifically, which has been about an hour looking at, there's good turnout on both sides. But there are a lot of people voting in Texas. Folks, the point I'm trying to make to you is you don't know who they voted for. I thought this was clear. There are liberals out there and doomers who don't understand. Yeah, but it's registered Republicans and Democrats showing up. That doesn't mean they're going to vote Republican and Democrat. It's probably likely they are, more than likely. But we don't know. A lot of registered Democrats vote for Donald Trump and the Trump agenda. It gives them a narrative. Here's another reason I can't stand early voting, but we're stuck with it. That's why I'm asking you, despite my hatred of this process, I mean, visceral, like blood boiling hatred of this process. That you bank your vote if you can today. Most of it will be shut down this weekend. Please. Let me just describe to you one more reason, though. I can't stand this. Folks, early voting, people vote and they miss critical information. I'm not talking about Republicans. If you're going to early vote and vote for the Republican straight ticket, I don't care if you voted a month ago or not. If you were an independent voter watching the Dan Bongino show, And you're on the fence, Republican or Democrat, and you already care. to vote for the Democrat because you're voting on your wallet, which Politico, can you throw out a Politico playbook thing? Politico playbook put this out. 37%, a huge number of voters are saying this is their number one issue, the economy. So if you're on the fence and you voted seven months ago in California, being a little ridiculous, but you get the point. You missed all of this. Here, new Gallup polling shows the economy is the number one issue for voters in the midterms. They call it, quote, very important. 37, nearly 40% nearly four in 10 voters call it very important. If you early voted, you were on the fence. This is MSNOW, formerly MSNBC. MSNBC, I mean, isn't it fairly obvious they hate President Trump and would do like nothing more than to put out negative information days before the election? Here's Stephanie Rule at MSNBC saying how these economic numbers that just came out that you would have missed if you early voted at 3.4% are not good, but they're great. Great, like a quote. Yes, she actually says these are great numbers. You missed all this. If you're voting on your wallet, then this is what you would be voting for. Check this out. The economy is at front and center of this election, but the new GDP numbers just crossed. It's great. 3.4%. That is a great number. Really strong. Look at how you see Al Sharpton's face. Al Sharpton's on the set. If you missed it on, you listen on audio. Al Sharpton doesn't know what to do. Al Sharpton's looking there like, damn it. 3.4 GDP growth. That's spectacular. It's got to happen a week before the election. Folks, here's the kicker. I'm going to take a quick break here, but the numbers would have been even better. Look at Al. Check out Al. Al don't know what to do. Al lost a lot of LBs, but look at Al. Looks like he's withering away there. He don't know what to do. Numbers are great. Al's like, really? I don't understand economics. Remember that John Stossel segment with Al Sharpton? I think rich people should pay more. They should play closer to 10%. They already play 40%, Stossel tells them. And he just moves on because he doesn't know anything. The numbers would have been even better if it wasn't for this one quirky thing about how we calculate growth in our economy. This is not going to be a wonky segment, but I need you to listen to this next piece of video audio. I need you to listen to this next piece of video and audio. For with Kevin Hassett, one of the Trump administration's lead economists. I need you to listen to this because even the part that's subtracted from GDP is actually a positive. It may lead to even more growth next quarter. If you don't vote against, if you vote against this Trump agenda, all this is going to stop. Even the bad news was good news. Quick break. Folks, collagen. A huge believer in collagen. Please go look up the tremendous beneficial effects of collagen. It is one of my staples. I have three or four go-to supplements. I will not miss every single day. I get my collagen from Native Path. It's fantastic. The collagen peptides here. I'm actually taking this one home because I ran out, but I just told the guys that. You guys know my health history. I don't mess with supplements unless it's helping my body. I'm very careful about what I put in it. Too old to be screwing around. So every day, Paul and I have been taking collagen for years. We love it. Look at her skin. It looks amazing. I mean, it's amazing for joints, for my joints. I feel so much better since I've been taking it. I've got a really bad problem with knees, creaky knees, getting old. Collagen is a protein that helps hold your body together. It's critical. After 30, our bodies lose 1% to 2% of collagen every year. That's a problem. But here's how taking collagen is helping me. I got the bad elbows, shoulders, and knees. I told you about that. Collagen is unbelievable for helping me with joint stiffness and mobility. Native Path, as in my opinion, they're some of the best collagen peptides out there. I use it every single day. It helps support muscle. It helps support muscles, especially if I exercise it every day. It's great for helping with bone density. And Paula will tell you how great collagen is for her skin and hair. I got you over 45% off, free shipping, and a 365-day money-back guarantee. That's how confident they are in their product.

I want you to listen to this video, because if you voted early and you were on the fence, you missed all of this. A huge plurality of American voters are voting on the economy, which is exploding right now. Not every single person is being lifted up everywhere. We're still recovering from the Biden inflation mess, the regulatory mess, the overspending mess, but there's no question if you believe in numbers, we're on the right track. Here's Hassett explaining how even this quirk in the GDP calculation, exports minus imports, means that there are foreign governments and foreign businesses re-industrializing and investing back in the United States. How's that a negative? It's not. That's the point. It's just a quirk in the number. Check this out. So even if you're voting on your wallet and you're still on the fence, or if you made the mistake of early voting for the Democrats because you made the mistake of early voting for the Democrats because you made the mistake of early voting for the Democrats because you made the mistake of early voting for the Democrats because you missed this and you're voting on your wallet, the GDP number would have been even bigger. The problem is for the calculation, not for the country, is a lot of foreign companies, what they'll do is they'll build factories in the United States. A lot of those companies have supply chains. A lot of domestic companies have factories overseas. Anything we import into the economy is subtracted from exports. It's subtracted, but it's just because of the way they calculate it. It's gross domestic product, domestic product. That's why. When you look at gross national product, gross national income, the numbers are even better. The numbers are even better. The inflation number also came in around 3%. Is it great? No. What was it under Biden? It was 5% average. What did it peak at? 9%, three times as high. Folks, if you're voting on your wallet, you only have one choice. Also, if you're a swing voter and you haven't voted yet and you're in the state of Michigan, this is a guy, El Sayed, Michigan, control the balance of the Senate. This guy is a national security problem for the United States if he gets in the Senate. He is a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer. The stuff that's coming out now every day about El Sayed, if you early voted, you missed this. How are you voting for this guy? Look at this New York Post article. If you're still on the fence, the choice is Mike Rogers in Michigan, clear as day. Abdul El Sayed's dad sits on a board of Islamic charity accused of funneling cash to Saddam Hussein. How is this even a real story? Folks, how is this even a real story? If you're still on the fence in Alaska and you're thinking about voting for Mary Peltola, who I hear is a genuinely awful person who treats her staff like absolute trash, the Democrat candidate, she just got busted, her team, in a massive political scandal to get you guys in Alaska and ladies to pull the wool over your ass. I said yesterday, I love playing basketball. It's the only sport we can really afford, right? If you got dunked on, people would be like, man, you just got worked. You're getting worked in Alaska. If you voted early for Peltola, does it now bother you that she tried to kick you right in the nuts and screw you over by putting what looks like to be a decoy on the ballot so you would vote for the wrong Republican so she would win? How does that not bother you? Here's a guy by the name of Dan Turner and a lot of people already voted in Alaska who are totally unaware of this massive scandal surfacing right now. Another reason I hate early voting. Check this out. President Trump was absolutely right to call for the Peltola campaign to be investigated for this cheating scandal. This is a level of low that has to stop in American politics. And the fact that the candidate herself seems to have been heavily involved in orchestrating it. Now she's blaming the New York Times, saying that they're just looking for clicks and likes and views. It's just shameful. It really questions early voting because thousands of Alaskans would have changed their vote if they knew this was happening, but they can't because we've been early voting for flippin ever. The stupidest things that we do is destroy our elections and question our election integrity by all of this nonsense. I just want to wrap this up in a bow for you. Make it really simple. I get it. You understand. I hope I hate early voting. Point is, we're stuck with it. I live in the real I just told you, don't get emotional about this. things work up around results. You want to get results, early vote, bank your vote. If you can still go today, go today. I'm sorry. We're stuck with it. You can hate it just like I hate it. I hope we can do everything in our power to change it. If we maintain the presidency, the house and Senate, I live in the real world though. And right now we're stuck with it. System is trash, but it's the best system we have right now. That's it. That's all we've got. Folks, I'm not going back to the Biden economy. I'm not going back to the Biden open borders. I'm not going back to the Barack Obama's Ferguson effect. I'm not going back to, you know, defund the police. I'm not going back to defund that. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I love this country. That's the only reason I went back and served. If you think I did it for the money, you're freaking delirious. I love this place. It matters to me. And I know it matters to you too. So many people, sacrifice so much for us to live in the most prosperous, strong country on, on, on this rock we call earth. Why would we give this up? I'm not going back. And there's so many amazing things happen. I have Brendan Dilley coming up in a minute from the Dilley show, but I'm just, I've never seen an election like this folks. Sorry. I, I, I'm not, it's not like one of these, like, oh, note in the chart, get emotional. That's I've never seen so many good things happen. And so many people pretending to be part of our party object to them, man. Listen to me for a second. I'm not BS in you things we had wanted for a generation of conservative politics folks. I love Ronald Reagan. I wanted a controlled closed border with legal immigration only. Reagan didn't do it. Folks. I love Reagan. I love him still, but Simpson Mazzoli and that bill, it was a disaster. It was basically an amnesty program. The tea party movement nearly got broken up because of amnesty type proposals, things we voted for forever, safe streets back to crushing violent crime. The re-industrialization of America, government deregulation is shrinking from the government workforce. That all happened. cracking down on billions and trillions of dollars over time of government fraud and waste we all knew was happening, is happening every single day now. Every day. What are you voting against? I'm going to tell you something. It was fascinating living through this on the other side. I hadn't been in government for a while. It really was. Because you had one side, the doomers who want this country to burn. They're not part of our movement. You had doomers telling you every day, and I'm going to tell you something, they were effective early on. They have people believing that the Trump administration over two years did absolutely nothing. They had people actually believing this. One side's telling you the doomers, it's actually both the same side, but one pretend side, oh, nothing is happening. And then you've got the other side, the liberals and the media, complaining about all the stuff that's happening is partisan stuff. I can't believe Ilhan Omar is the subject of an investigation. That investigation started under Obama, you dipwads. What is Obama, hyper-partisan conservative? Which story is true? Nothing happening or stuff happening? The answer is, which is insane, the other side was right, just as their complaints were wrong. There was a lot of stuff happening. It wasn't partisan. It wasn't partisan at all. Here's Josh Hammer on Newsmax commenting on exactly this, the Omar and Swalwell investigations. How are these partisan? They're all innocent until proven guilty. Thank the Lord they're entitled to a due process, constitutional big R rights system. But Josh Hammer's commenting exactly this, like these investigations, there were Democrats involved in these who started a lot of these too. Check this out. -We don't actually know what's in these warrants in general. We don't know what exactly is happening. We don't know exactly what was in the warrant, by the way, that the judge in Washington, D.C. signed off when it comes to the Ilhan Omar raid. That's just not the kind of thing that we have public access to. But I think my colleague and friend, Will, makes a very good point, which is that when you have, in this case, Alvin Bragg, who was on the same side as Todd Blanch, this does not exactly look like a partisan witch hunt. By the way, very similar to Ilhan Omar, where the judge there was actually a Clinton donor who clerked for an Obama judge twice. So very similar thing there and here. -Do those sound like partisan investigation from what, from Democrats? Folks, I don't, one, the nothing is happening stuff you can throw in the garbage, but the complaints from the left about the things that are happening that the doomers told you aren't happening, that they're partisan. Don't get angry at the Trump administration, me and others included, for going in there and cleaning up messes that other administrations left behind. And again, to address the people out there who are staying home because nothing's happening, or I believe some, you know, diaper-wearing loser on X talking about nothing's happening. Here's another one. What is this, like, story number 50 now about voter fraud? This is a huge issue with me. Just came out yesterday. Justice Department charges 18 more in North Carolina with illegally voting in the 2024 election. DOJ's charged 30 people in North Carolina just this year for illegally voting. I thought nothing was happening. Nothing will happen if we elect the Democrats because Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, me and others are going to spend nothing more than time up on Capitol Hill answering for the things that are happening that the doomers told you didn't happen. There's not going to be any time to make anything else happen. Here's Colin McDonald yesterday, one of the Department of Justice attorneys out there leading the fraud effort that has been, we've been begging for for generations. Please go clean up this mess of government moochers and freaking parasites stealing our freaking hard earned tax dollars. It is happening on a massive scale now, billions and billions of dollars being saved. Here's Colin McDonald on yet another scheme they tied up yet. This was just yesterday. This is just this week. Yes, it's happening. Check this out. Today, we are announcing the results, the first results of Operation Ghostbusters. A nationwide effort to stop a major fraud scheme targeting federal student aid, low income Americans, and the American taxpayer. It is schemes like this one that President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud are resolved to defeat. Let me briefly describe how this scheme works. First, criminals steal the identities of real Americans. They specifically target Americans who haven't attended college. They use those stolen identities to create ghost students to apply to colleges across the country. Next, they apply for federal student aid using those same stolen identities. And if successful at duping the Department of Education, Ed then sends the aid money to the college where the ghost student is enrolled. After tuition and fees are met, the aid money is sent to the college where the ghost student is enrolled. After tuition and fees are deducted, the leftover federal funds are deposited directly into bank accounts controlled by fraudsters. And in a flash, the money vanishes, often overseas to places like Kenya. Investigators believe this fraud has been ongoing since at least 2021, potentially reaching several hundred million dollars lost. Folks, this is just this week. I could play this stuff on loop. You're like, wait, we saw Colin McDonald before. No, it's a different video. We have, what, five or ten of those? We have been complaining about government waste, moochers, and parasites on the system. You know, government employees we didn't need and leaning out the federal government for eons and now it's all happening. This is good stuff. You've got it rolling downhill now. We've got momentum. We're trading potential for kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is happening. This is not trust me, bro. It'll roll down the hill eventually. It is rolling. We're halfway down the hill. Let it keep rolling. Why would you stop in general? Let's push it back uphill. You're doing the trust me, bro. Trust me, bro. Nothing's happening. Well, why would we trust you when we see things happening and you're lying to us? Because, folks, it is really important you understand this. There is a group of people out there, the doomers and the black pillars out there. And. I'm not talking about all of them. I want to be clear. I don't speak categorically like that, but a lot of people, many of you have been influenced by if you believe the stupid, ridiculous, nothing happened in the last two years, absolute bull. If you believe that a lot of these people, a lot of these people were being paid to tell you that a lot of them were being paid to tell you that because they're preparing for a post Donald Trump. national political environment where they have a very specific agenda for the Republican Party, and I promise you it's not conservative. And they have to slowly hollow out the Trump administration's massive accomplishments over these last two years because they don't want to run on any of that stuff. They don't want to run on closed borders on crushing street crime. They want to run on stuff that's going to blow your mind. And you'd be like, well, that doesn't sound conservative because it isn't. Do not vote on emotion. Vote on results. Don't fall in love with candidates. Fall in love with ideas. I showed you that political playbook earlier, that piece earlier. Folks, the number one issue in this campaign, which it is in practically every campaign outside of a national security campaign, you know, like 9-11 and elsewhere, is the economy. James Carville, not a huge fan, Democrat strategist, told Bill Clinton one time, it's the economy, stupid. But the economy is growing. It's growing at a rate so large, even MSNBC. We see how to acknowledge it. Folks, that rock is rolling downhill. Don't stop it, man. Don't stop it now. This is the article I was talking about with Peggy Noonan, by the way. And again, I'm not making this personal. I enjoy reading her work and others, even though we agree on actually very little. Peggy Noonan has this piece up in the Wall Street Journal. I got to tell you, I know she doesn't like the president, but I was kind of shocked to read this. This is in the Wall Street Journal opinion section. The headline of the article is the case for a historic wave. I got to tell you, for a minute, I thought like, all right, maybe she's talking about the Republican. No, she's talking about the Democrats. The president should be dealt a rebuke, a rebellion, and a rout. Only then can the Republican Party be rebuilt. Rebuilt into what? Folks, this is what I'm talking about. This discussion happens amongst academics. This is what I'm talking about. This is this discussion happens amongst academics. This Academics, people in the I get paid for my ideas class, not for the results, and who don't live in the real world. Peggy hasn't been in the real world, I'm sorry, for a long time. She hangs around with a lot of people who are like white paper thinkers. They are. And so you can afford to write pieces like this. Where, you know what, I don't like his true social posts. I wish he would speak more like Reagan. He's not Reagan. You know what I would prefer? I wish Reagan would have closed the border. I love Reagan. He did not. Maybe if Reagan would have talked a little bit more like Trump, we would have had more action rather than talk. I live in the world of results. So does the guy cleaning out your clogged drain in your shower so it doesn't overflow into the apartment down below. So does your HVAC guy responding to your house because in the middle of the night in Florida, your freaking air conditioner went down and your kids are sweating. So does that nurse's aide in a hospital when you need someone to wheel you into the emergency room. They live in the real world. They're not paid to read white papers. They don't care about the tone of a true social post. This is what you want? A route? So that Elon's warnings about what the Democrats are openly threatening to do come true? You want to pack Supreme Court? And the destruction of our system of checks and balances? You want the United States Senate packed with four reliable Democrat votes by admitting states that may or may not even want to be part of the United States as a state? You want wealth taxes, the destruction of people's jobs in the economy, defund the police, open borders because what you don't like is speaking style. That's an emotional argument. That's not the real deal. That's the real world, man. They don't understand decisions on the margin because they live in the world of academics, white papers, and people who don't suffer the consequences of this. Of voting for people that are threatening to do this for you. Folks, I told you one of the things I learned in my year I was gone back in government is when you're at that level, every decision is a level. 10 decision. Please digest this and tattoo it on your brain. Think about it, right? I'm how many layers below the president? You've got the president, got the attorney general, you've got the deputy attorney general, you got the FBI director, and then you have me as the deputy below them, okay? At my level, it's way below the president. Things would come to my desk that were only level 10 decisions. Level 10 decisions are this. I kind of made this. I made this decision. There are decisions where there are no good answers. If there was a good answer, the DAD, the AD, the OD, the agent, the 14, the 15, someone else makes it. When it gets to your desk at that level, there is no easy answer. I always use this hypothetical. Did we stop this terror attack today knowing that the criminal case may fall apart because the evidence is not really great? Or do we hope to gather more evidence, make it more prosecutable, but run the risk that the attack happens? What's the answer? The answer is, I mean, it's a hypothetical, but there is no easy answer. And you could be wrong. And if something goes boom, you will be wrong. And it's your ass. The president is dealing with decisions that my level couldn't even be made. They went to cash. And then they went to Todd. Or, and then they went, was it McConner? And then they went to Blanche. And then they go to the president. He's dealing with this every day. He doesn't live in the world. He doesn't live in the world of white papers. He's living in a world every day where he's got to make compromises. He's got to balance the interest geopolitically of a war in Ukraine versus a threat of a nuclear strike in Iran. He's got to balance the interest of people who'd love a flat tax and a fair tax. But no, we don't have the votes for it. So we got no tax on tips. There were a lot of white paper people. I hate that idea. We shouldn't carve up the tax code. I agree. I wish the tax code was cleaner. There's no votes for that. That's not the real world. The HVAC guy and a plumber lives in. If we can return money to people's pockets with no tax on tips, because it's the best thing we can do, then we're going to do it. We don't live in that world. We live in a world where these people in leadership positions like that make level 10 decisions every single day. This is not a level 10 decision. This election. This is a level one decision. Do you want the economy growing at this MSNBC saying great clip MSNBC telling you it's great? Do you want the no tax on tips to continue or do you want more taxes on tips and everything else? Do you want regulations just shoved down your throat like Ipecac syrup or do you want a leaner government? Do you want a shrinking government workforce or more government workers? Do you want the border to open again? They're already talking about embassy. You want men in the women's room smacking a volleyball in your daughter's face, breaking her nose, some some grown man. You want violent crime to explode again. That's the real world. That's why I'm so annoyed at this piece. It's so ridiculous. Not even suggesting there should be a Republican loss, but there should be, quote, a route. We should hand over the Senate to a bunch of lunatics like Al Sayed. Put that headline up again. What is it? This just broke again. In addition to his sympathies for the Muslims. Brother, Abdul Al Sayed's dad sits on a board of an Islamic charity accused of funneling cash to Saddam Hussein. This is a great idea, Peggy. This is insane. And then what the hell is this all over? It's because what you don't like President Trump taken on the media. You don't like the fact that his speeches he doesn't read exactly from a teleprompter. Fine. Don't like it. But you're going to vote to destroy my kids. Future with an open border and street crime and defund the ice and the police because you don't like the presidential play that video Trump with the reporter talking about the. This is what people get upset about. So I'm talking about by voting against President Trump on pure emotion and not result. President Trump yesterday, by the way, the Iowa, Kansas rallies are back on. I think he's just annoyed that people just keep saying stupid stuff. Oh, you're not going to Iowa and Kansas because you're tired. Would you have no evidence at all? Some dopey reporter. Who, by the way, looks like he could use some GLP ones himself. Says to President Trump yesterday, hey, man, you're not going to Kansas and Iowa because you're like sick or not healthy or something like that. This is why people get upset because Trump just tells it like it is like the Queens guy. I don't want to be. He's like, really? Look at you. You slob talking about. Good. Good for him. This doesn't bother me one bit. If it bothers you, grow up. Get over it. Check this out. Nothing to do with you being sick and travel. Oh, you're sick. Ask that question. They're sick. Who are you with? I'm a Reuters. Sir, you are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible. Well, you're going to look at this guy's way out of shape. Look at how badly he comes to me. Sir, you're not going to go to Kansas. I'm not going to Kansas because he's doing very well. I'm going to do a tell around. Tomorrow I'm doing Florida. He said, what's the reason after doing what? Twenty eight. He says, what's the reason for this, sir, that you're not going to Kansas? You know, the reason is I don't feel I have to go to Kansas. I'm going to Florida tomorrow and I'll do. If something else comes up. But he said, you're not going to Kansas, sir. Are you feeling well? You've been. been following me for two weeks i feel perfect you are disgusting put yourself in shape you look like hell why does i don't understand why that bothers you why does that bother you no i'm serious like it i shouldn't say that why does it bother you maybe you'd think whatever it doesn't sound presidential whatever maybe let me rephrase the question why does that bother you enough to call for a month why does that bother you enough that you would let a muslim brotherhood sympathizer a bunch of people calling to like institute a sense a set of economic economy crushing wealth taxes around the country to open up borders that stuff bothers you enough that you're gonna let a bunch of crazed leftist lunatics take over that's insane that is sociopathically insane you do you have kids do you have daughters or granddaughters or grandsons you're gonna hand the country over to these crazy people talarico wants men in the women's room with your daughters because you don't like the fact that he called some slob reporter a slob i don't know i i'm a spreadsheets guy folks i'm a spreadsheets guy i i just vote on results man i didn't get everything i wanted i told you that i have different positions than president trump on a couple issues here and there you've heard them we've actually debated some of them on my radio show you think i'm not gonna vote for this guy if there was a nuclear freaking war i'd put on the bubble suit and go pull that lever because here are your alternatives you know it's friday so i got brendan and dilly coming up talking about messaging and exactly this but folks you're gonna vote for this this is what we voted against just two years ago she's back kamala harris so i thought i'd give you a good uh a good laugh on a friday okay uh kamala harris there's nothing she loves more than to trot out a number of these fake phony artificial kind of accents on her voice and changes in tone she is trying to be like jenny from the block everywhere she did it again the other day here she is back on the stuff you want these people back in charge here's our segment we love voices of dems election time is it time to let them know we're too busy watching what you're doing to listen to what you're saying you know what i'm saying it i'm just gonna leave that there the she does this all the time okay let's see i i don't even get emotional she's just a buffoon that stuff doesn't bother me as bad as some of her ideas now this is time for some tough medicine i hope you're ready folks i gotta be careful how i phrase this because i don't want this to seem like i'm trying to be professorial or speak down to anyone what's happening in ohio right now is just a mess you've got candidates running for office that have run some of the most disgusting ads like blaming the jews for inflation you've got i mean these are real democrat ads you've got an ad i talked about it on laura ingram's show last night charlie hurt was guest hosting you've got in the troy jackson susan collins senate race you've got them deceiving people to run ads for troy jackson when they're susan collins supporters you've got a thousand myriad democrat

least sound intoxicated i don't know what's worse here if she is in fact drunk or if she's not drunk and sounds drunk i don't know what's worse and you're angry about an ad you didn't like so you're

terms and conditions apply welcoming to the show uh my good friend a guy who uh knows the political messaging game uh better than anyone and i say that with no reservations whatsoever uh my friend brendan dilly he also has his own show called the dilly show you can check it out on rumble i encourage you d-i-l-l-e-y brendan welcome to the show so good to have you what's up dan i'm i'm uh honored to be here with you finally man this is a it's a big deal and i know a lot of my uh meme team and a lot of my own audience uh you know they they before they watch my shows they watch your show leading into it and so this is a big deal for not just myself but our entire community so i appreciate you having me well you're one of the few shows i watched too uh listen you've been uh you're a really good analyst of the political ecosystem you've been out ahead of a lot of these um you know trends that weren't necessarily trends you got out ahead of them before and said hey you know watch what's going on here this tidal wave's coming to shore but your specific area of expertise outside of your show is political messaging uh you've kind of your team changed the game on this and i don't think you get enough respect for this the the changing communications environment for politics uh it's if you can either like get on the train or get run over by it it's not abc nbc nightly news you know cable still plays a role obviously but it's diminishing in importance over time everything now brendan is short videos giphys memes comebacks i i wish it were you know aoc on the other side made a career out of this i mean she just did um you know instant responses don't let stuff fester you know your commentary on this because a lot of people uh take you on uh and your business they're understanding that they need that kind of stuff yeah you know what it is dan i think that there is uh it's it's the handing of the torch it's going over to a younger generation and that younger generation doesn't digest information the way that previous generations have and so people aren't going to sit through a 60 minutes episode where you have like three to four topics and they're going to go really in depth and it's really dramatized and it's sort of like sprawled out it's just not how people receive information they want it in uh they want efficient information and the thing is like we've conditioned people to receive information this way in every other facet of life so it shouldn't really surprise anyone that it's translating into politics and news as well people want to see it like get to the point tell me what it is tell me why it matters how does it affect me what's the context and you've got to get to that point fairly quickly you're going to be given about two to three minutes max to make that point and then they're on to the next thing and there's always going to be a group of people that are passionate about politics and world events okay and that that segment of the population is never going to go away and they're going to sit through uh different shows and they're going to sit through long-form interviews and different things like that but the majority of people want to check in stay sort of like okay what's going on i want to be able to form an opinion fairly quickly i want to be able to kind of to sift through this information and then form that opinion and move on uh to the next part of my life and i think that's where the majority of americans reside and if you don't speak that language that way you're not going to be able to get to the next part of my life and i think that's where the majority of americans reside and if you don't speak that language that way they you don't reach those people period and brendan one of the things i think your your dilly team does over there are exceptionally well is it's something i i've been talking about for years you you know i summed it up as kind of wheaties box messaging you know when we were kids before the health craze right before the maha movement everybody thought like breakfast cereal was like healthy for you you know now everybody's eating freaking whole range eggs and blueberries and stuff like that whatever but you sat down with your captain freaking crunch or whatever which i still love or your wheaties box and remember we were kids you would just you were you're in the morning you're tired you read the wheaties box there was like a cartoon on the back or whatever the republican party was terrible about this before folks like yourself came in and changed the comms game they were they would put out a white paper on the laugher curve which listen i love i'm not telling anyone to be ignorant and stupid that's not what i'm saying the laugher curve is a stroke of genius however people live busy lives brendan they're out there they got to go to their kids games they got to work eight ten hour day they don't have time for a two three hour treatise on the high marginal tax rates and the effect on propensity to save and consume tell me why this works for me on the freaking wheaties box right now it you know what it is too dan it's it's one of the things that my team does and i've instructed them since the beginning and something that they also innately have i'm dealing with artists and musicians these are like really high level people um but we put things into context to what matters to them and so part of what had happened is i think there was a disconnect so there was such a massive disconnect between the american public and whether it's the media or whether it's the political figures uh there was such a massive disconnect that the american public was like getting tired of sifting through the news to figure out which news was actually relevant to them so with my team one of the things that we do is we do a lot of research and we do a lot of things that we do is it starts with would you watch this not are you who are you making it for or what are you making it for it's would you sit down and watch this does it grab you in the first 15 seconds why does it matter to you and like we've got regular americans on my team these are just run-of-the-mill normal people from all over america that all have different careers and jobs and lives and so and also different age groups and so when you've got a group that's as eclectic as that and you understand the premise which is you know and to me it's a form of respect don't make content that you wouldn't watch don't make content that you don't find interesting and when you hold yourself to that standard it makes it a lot uh easier to understand how to connect to the american people and you're making content and i'll tell you subconsciously they pick up on it people pick up on the fact that they're like there's nuanced uh uh sort of details that are maybe relatable to their their life their culture a period in their life that's why we implement so much music and so so many different like clips that are like culturally relevant to the uh maybe the era that they grew up in but it's a different approach in my opinion to media and comms it used to be we're going to tell you how it is and you're going to take it and here here it is and we will just essentially condition you to accept this as the way you receive information we've basically inverted that and said okay we know how you like to receive information so we're going to make videos that you would normally enjoy watching for entertainment purposes and then we're going to bury a ton of political messaging content statistics inside of that that video and so now you don't even feel like you just consumed news or or any sort of like uh information that way it makes it just a much more enjoyable experience we're talking to brendan dilly host of the dilly show on rumble also uh what i i believe to be one of the best political comms guys out there totally changed the game brendan i i watch your videos and i i you said something there that kind of hit me a little bit i wrote a movie script a long time ago with a friend of mine i don't think i ever told you brendan and i are friends but i don't think i ever told you this story and i always hate watching a movie that takes 20 minutes to get to the point of the movie or even like a show on whatever uh liberal netflix or you get to the point like hit right away and people like oh my gosh what just happened and you spend the whole rest of the show tuning to find out what just happened so i write this movie script it's a secret service story it's still out there and everybody who commented loved the opening scene there was a soft countdown at three two one on a dark screen and then boom someone hits the door and it was a raid well if you ever go watch the movie police state i did with dinesh d'Souza that's the opening of the movie i told dinesh i said hey listen i need this in there i want this thing to hit right at the open but your communications team does that like you're not watching some ad and you're five seconds in going because nobody cares they're scrolling past it five seconds you've already lost them the second you open you're like whoa that one stung so address that and also how you're you guys are edgy i mean you don't i love that i'm a kid from queens but the days of old stodgy bow tie politics i'm sorry they're over you can play the game or you can get crushed by it it's absolutely true so yeah one is so when you're talking about the hook basically you've got two ways to grab people you can grab them visually or you can grab them uh with audio so there's some times where you're like okay the video is going to take a little while to build if you use the right musical track uh you can grab right out the gate because there's certain songs that people just aren't going to clip like they're not going to scroll away from like and if you know that and you know american culture which my team is are masters of that you know okay this is going to buy me about seven seconds i'm gonna get about seven to eight seconds to get to this clip because this song is something that people just innately love and when you can use the music that way you can also do the reverse which is what you were talking about where you've got to count down and then bam like you're coming through the door and it's going to grab you and you go what's what's happening and now now it's compelling we try to do uh a little bit of both sometimes you use both strategies sometimes you use one or the other uh but people love it i mean we we try to put cinematic flare up around everything that we do the other thing is you know as far as the uh irreverence yeah man like we're gonna push the envelope um you know i grew up in an era where in living color was how i spent my like thursday night time and i spent my thursday nights on you know watching fox as a kid you know you're watching in living color i watched the simpsons in the 80s by myself i remember watching uh a lot of these shows where it was like this was what was forming my opinions on the world i was watching eddie murphy delirious i was watching sam kinnison like um andrew dice clay like that for us and a lot of them my team uh people on my team you know they're they're products of the reagan era there are products of the 80s and 90s where that style of communication and in comedy was extremely prevalent and it was frankly it was awesome and we've just taken that cultural awareness and and applied it into a world that never had previously uh done that which is within the federal government within the political landscape and i think people it just feels you you know you're watching something like you're taking in information that is is stuffy and sort of boring but you're taking it in a way that's like man this is really fun it's it's like adding sugar to like cornflakes it's just like all right i'm still eating cornflakes but the sugar really makes this tasty right i see what you did there back to the breakfast cereal very nice you tie in the show again just like i do the same thing you always got to tie it back tell them what you're going to tell them tell them and then tell them what you told them and listen brendan to your team you know i always say on the show as well like results matter don't get them wrong don't get them wrong don't get them wrong don't get them wrong don't get them wrong i don't care what motivates you to vote i don't anger happiness elations i don't care like go out and vote and change the world for your kids whatever emotion you need to do it do it but ultimately you should be voting on results and your results matter like you had tons of videos go absolutely nuclear the president has put out a number of your videos on true social i'm not just one or two uh i know his team appreciates um your work but one of the things that's been irking me up until on this results kind of narrative here is there hasn't been an administration i can make a really sensible down-to-earth case in two years that is done as much as the trump administration has done and my concern here brendan and this is where i want you to kind of chime in is i i worry about an apathy like so much happened so fast and the expectations were set so high like your kid went out scored 100 on her first 10 tests 11 she gets 99 and you're upset with her like any other time you're like wow 99 is amazing right i worry about that like the border being shut down crime getting crushed gdp numbers exploding unemployment all-time lows i'm worried like people are sitting home because of a little bit of apathy and the counter messaging out there inside our tent or pretend inside our tent with these folex maga people is just it's killing us man i don't i can't get over it yeah you know i think there's two separate issues there so the first one if you're apathetic in 2026 then you're gonna get the country and the representation you deserve like i think we're all done motivating people like if you have sat by the last six years if you lived through covid in 2021 where biden rolls in with mandates on all kinds of people and all kinds of issues and the the isolation of that like bottom line is if you were an adult during that era and you're still sitting out elections honestly you're beyond like help so you're gonna get whatever you're gonna get and you can cry about it and you can find a mirror because that's the reason you got it so that's one issue entirely like i think you know a lot of people when you look at the republican party and this is one of the things that these doomer losers try to do and they try to undermine the the objective of politics politics is a long game bro like you're not gonna get a perfect candidate so you're gonna get a guy that's gonna come in and this is how like i view i there are people inside of our party and who sit in federal you know in in office and they're gonna be like they they do three things i really really love they do six things i absolutely hate i don't not vote for them because those three things depending on what's important to me are critical they might be deal breakers and that's you have to understand we're moving we're moving an entire culture and political ideology a certain direction we're going a certain way that we want it to be which is i think a much more maga centric uh sort of of country but you're not going to get that in a election you're not going to get it in two elections i mean we're 11 years in to this experiment with president trump and you can see the difference from where we started and where the public was willing to consider and what they were willing to consider to the point now that there's so much of the stuff that's normalized that's in a beneficial way that i think that uh you know people have to just understand like it's going to take a little time you're chipping away it's like anything else in life man there is no such thing as overnight success they always say that to you but that's because they weren't around for the 10 years of their life and they're not suffering you did prior to that it's the same thing i think in this political movement and as far as these doomers go man they're on life support because dan i had to tell you if we win the midterms if we even if we eke it out if we split it or whatever house and senate a lot of these guys are cooked i mean you can't make that many bad predictions for almost 24 straight months and still maintain some sort of like relevance and you're watching as their audiences whittle away and the really funny thing is you know there's like 20 of these guys and gals they all share the same audience man it's the most incestuous thing i've ever seen and so now you're like okay we're holding on for dear life with this certain fixed number of people we're not adding new fans we're not adding new followers we're simply losing people because every couple of weeks we're being revealed to not know what we're talking about like because there's only two options right with most of these guys and i don't want to name names but like most of these guys you're either an idiot and that's why you keep getting things wrong or you're being a jerk and you're being a jerk and you're being paid to lie about what's happening but either way that's enough to break trust with your audience and you can only go back to that well so many times before people check out and i think these midterms are a big deal man they're a big deal for pollsters they're a big deal for a lot of podcasters who have been lying and or wrong i think it's a big deal for the left because they could be absolutely like this is a make or break moment people think it's all it the the pressure's on the republican party you're wrong the left tried an experiment in two years before where they're like hey like kamala is going to be more centrist than she was trying to talk about how she was going to have guns in her house and she was trying to at least somewhat appeal to moderates dude they just said in 24 months hey blue dog democrats uh we're going to need you to vote for the democrat democrat socialists of america that's a hell of a leap dude in 24 months to try to get somebody to go full-blown like socialist and so the pressure i don't feel the pressure on the republican party this time i think that's this is 100 percent of the time on the left and if they if they blow this they're cooked man like i don't think there's a way they win the senate the house is really the only thing that i'm curious about if they blow both of these i think they're going to have one hell of a problem the next two years because you're going to get two years of president trump in the fast lane and i don't think they understand and it's his last two years like and you can already see it in his messaging leading up to this yeah he's talking more trash than he normally talks and you can just tell he's kind of like you know it's it's on yeah oh yeah it's and when you know you and i called this when during the primary there were people saying uh you know oh you know you can't vote for trump he's going to be term limited you and i were like that's the point what do you think he's going to slow down like he doesn't care anymore about the politics he cares about america not that he even cared about the politics before i wanted you brought up something i was going to ask a different question but you brought up something really important you and i are real politic guys man we're realists i'm i'm not voting for you you're not voting for me you're not voting for me you're not voting for saints i had a clip of uh a preacher josh howerton on the other day and it was a great clip he's like voting's not a sacrament guys and you just said it there is no perfect candidate but i i referenced earlier in the show an article in the wall street journal by peggy noonan and listen peggy noonan does not like president trump okay i i enjoy her writing it's not personal i don't get emotional about things but i thought it was a really really awful genuinely awful article the gist of it was like we should lose the republican party lose bad it should be like a her words a route and a rebellion and she says that as a you know self-proclaimed republican as if there were no consequences brendan like there's not going to be a packing of the supreme court a dumping of the filibuster puerto rico and dc admitted states open borders violent criminals killing and raping and murdering and assaulting our kids like this is the real world peggy like divorce yourself from the emotions and accept what you and i have you and i are not listen i'm not a huge fan of of moderate senators you know who they are it's too few days before that you know who they are they're running right now i'm not however it i'm a hundred percent if i'm in those states voting for them they're the best you're gonna do in that state you're gonna relinquish control the senate and chairmanships because this person didn't vote for some billion that's insane like that's crazy this is the real world man you know get out of your freaking if you're one of these people voting on emotions and vote on reality no you're absolutely correct and this is one of the things i tell people too like how do you end up with senators you start asking people you break it down how did they get there well they raised money they voted they took a check oh okay so what you're saying is your state continues to allow somebody to win re-election because nobody in your state has the courage or financial wherewithal to go primary that person what you accept and so if you want to step up and you want to start running for congress or senate and build a career to replace somebody then by all means do it if you're not guess what you're a part of the republican party this is who your candidate is go and show up and because sometimes you know what's funny dan sometimes it's not about what the candidate's gonna do for you and i and again i know what you're alluding to there's some of these candidates we look and we go and not my favorite but sometimes it's not what they're gonna do for you it's what they are not gonna allow to happen sometimes it's that vote sometimes they don't have a platform but i know they're not gonna vote for this right and that's good enough right they're not going to vote for open borders to defund the police to defund i just said that the other day on the show like i don't care what emotion you use even if you're voting on a negative emotion like i just i'm not voting for a candidate joey bag of donuts on the on the democrat side because they're so genuinely awful but i don't even really care the republican sucks too but they're not as sucky as the democrat like that is what they won't do to you like that's really well said yeah so well some of your people are like remember hodor from uh from game of thrones is like hold the door there's a hodor bro some of these people they're not gonna do they're not gonna go out and win you anything with anything spectacular on their policy or their agenda but sometimes they're just gonna hold that damn door and and it's gonna buy you time to get better younger candidates and you can kind of see that happening in the republican party we've got a really exciting bench that are growing into their leadership roles and you've got a really exciting bench that are growing into their leadership roles and you've got a really some senators that over time are going to be going away obviously just because of age alone will eventually have them leave office and they're not exciting and they're not passing any legislation where you go my god i can't believe so and so did this but they are holding they're holding the door man they're holding the communists and the socialists back from taking over completely in this country and it's buying us the time we need to basically train that bench and get them prepared for a higher level of office and leadership and and that's sort of how you have to view it i mean i don't think there's any other way to view it everything and that's the thing too is republicans will accuse you know we talk about the left being hyper emotional and oh they're they're all about their feelings and then it's like well if if that's the thing you have a problem with the left about then you've got to be extremely rational in long-term viewing about your own vote your own party and i think that a lot of people lose sight of that they get caught up in the moment and start saying crazy stuff and it's you know we
