What Is Really Happening Here? (Ep. 2603)

All America, all the time, sit down, buckle up and get ready for the Dan Bon Gino show. So tell me in the chat because it's your show as much as it's my show, maybe named after me, but it's really for you. I mean, I'll also be talking in a closet to myself. And when we got 11,000 beginning of the show, a whole lot of people here. You want the good news or the bad news first? You let me know, you think about that, Guy, Justin, give me a rough idea of where we go. I'll write it to beginning of the show because I want to describe to you as we title today's show, what is really happening here? And what is that about? Because what do we hate on Necessary Teases? We'll tell you in 20 minutes. Stay tuned. We're not doing that. It's about what's going to happen in just about 40 days. Because folks, I'm going to show you some good news and some bad news. But there's a way to win elections regardless of what I'm going to tell you and what is it. It's to show up in vote. Right? I mean, well, of course, there are some doomers out there who, for some reason, why don't you believe otherwise that the control is lost? Well, I don't want to get into the bin. They're mind you to control as long as I get to that in a second. Second, some people have asked me, I had some tweets out yesterday, I'm not trying to be cryptic, why don't you name certain names on people? Because we're 40 days from an election, folks. And I want to paint for a picture for you about what's going on without creating a bunch of waste of time, podcasts, the stand fights that candidly. Sometimes I have to address them and don't have a choice, especially when they evolved danger to me and my family. It's a waste of time right now. That's why you have to earn the right for me to mention your name. And some of these people are not worth the drama before an election. But I do have to warn you about what's going on. So that came up yesterday too. We got a country to save though. So right in the beginning of the show, I got a clip from the greatest of all time. I saw it on Vince Cole and Asus tweet yesterday, Twitter feed if you want to cheat a little bit from Rush Limbaugh. That should remind you of this. Ladies and gentlemen, we got a country to save. There's no time for BS right now. But just isn't let the podcast to stand people do what they want. Let's focus on getting out and voting. I got a lot of show for you today on Friday, please stay tuned and coach Bruce Burle, one of the favorites coming up at the end. We're going to talk about NIL college sports, the SEC, love in America, all kinds of great stuff. So don't miss that. Hey, these weight loss injections. They're everywhere. You read about them all the time. But here's the catch. You know, this is about 15% of users quit because of the costs and other 15% stop because of side effects. A while back, I had to drop some pounds. You know, I've told you the story. I just come through a health care crisis. I was not eating great. I was way 238 pounds. I strongly encourage you to go look at the old rumble videos from back then. You're going to see my face was a little rounder, right, Ki? Maybe a lot rounder. You'll pull. Can you pull one? Yes. It proved my point. I was eating really bad. I went through cancer and, you know, I just was like, I'm going to tell you, I just was like, whatever people do in front of me, I didn't eat. I gained weight. I called Miles from Brickhouse. Two stories. I said, Hey, man, you guys got like some weight loss. They said, Hey, we're working on this product called lean. I took it. I'm not messing with you. I dropped well over 38 pounds. I was 195 this morning. I still use it. LEAN, the product is great. Paula uses it too. We love the product. I encourage you to check it out. It's from Brickhouse Nutrition. Lean was doctor formulated to do similar things. Wow. Look at that picture. You see that? A lot bigger back the good job, guys. Lean helped me tackle my hunger, help support steady energy without constant cravings and lean did something injections don't. It helped turn my body fat into energy. So I burn fat instead of storing it. My favorite part, lean is a nutritional supplement. It's not injection. It works. People call me all the time to ask, of course. Oh, I tell you otherwise. No prescriptions. No needles. I lost weight with lean. I believe you can too. My joints feel better too. I guess I'm down to about 194 now.

So who won in the poll? You think bad news are good news first. It was kind of 50-50, you think? All right. So I'm going to give you the bad news first. So we have some good news. Here is the bad news. A Daily Mail article came out and it's the Daily Mail, so that's, be honest, the headlines are always going to be a little hysterical. I'm not mad at them. Whatever. Do your thing. Media does their thing or whatever. I don't do those hysterical headlines. We try not to. When I do, I call myself sometimes we just miss something. The Daily Mail story is this. Mark Calpern, who's a pretty good political analyst, he's been around the block. He's saying, listen, I'm getting panic calls from Republican activists saying that the midterm elections are going to be essentially a bloodbath. This could be like a blue tsunami. I don't. I mean, the election hasn't happened yet. If people don't show up, that certainly could happen. I don't believe that. I choose to manifest good things. I believe I have a country to save. I'm not a doomer. If we lose, we're going to get Dustin off the next day and get ready for the next fight in the presidential. However, this, we shouldn't ignore this. So the headline is this, the Daily Mail, Mark Calpern, you can see the date of the thing was yesterday. I said, I can't eat that. I don't even pay attention to the date. It was yesterday. He says, quote, my Trump source is say the president's worst nightmare imaginable has finally arrived. Panic texts and emails from GOP insiders blowing up my phone, they're all saying the same thing. Well, what are they saying? The gist of the article is what I just told you. But there's a lot of Republicans out there who feel like even safe seats could be up for grabs. I'm just telling you what the article says. And I want to make a point on this. And it's, this is why it's the bad news. They're suggesting to Mark Calpern a very talented political analyst again in this piece. And he's not a hysterical guy either. He's not like Brian Stelter's, the potato head screaming from the rafters, whatever. He's relatively down the middle guy. They're suggesting that seats in Iowa, Senate seats in Kansas, I mean, blood red states may be up for grabs. That ladies and gentlemen would be an electoral apocalypse. If they're suggesting also that where we live, Guy Justin and the rest of my crew, where we live in Florida, that there could be seats up for grabs, listen, personally, I doubt that. I have not. If you guys heard anything like that, Justin, you're pretty wired. I haven't heard anything like that either. But I'm not going to ignore it and just pretend like, oh, you know, whistle and pass the graveyard. I'm not going to do that. I lived in Glendale, Queens. You can look it up. Glendale, Queens is known for two things. I grew up around bars and graveyards, look it up yourself. Glendale, Queens in New York. So we, if we whistled, we were whistle and pass the graveyard all day because there were cemeteries everywhere. I worked in one Mount Carmel Cemetery. If anyone ever hacks my employment records, that's what that was. I worked with the gravediggers when I was a kid. Yes, that's what I did. I'm not whistling past any graveyards, okay? If this is accurate and I have no reason to believe Halper who's not a hysterical guy is lying, that means one thing. That means we have to do more work because the election hasn't happened yet. And as I told you, we are not, we, we have agency. In other words, there's something we can do to fix this. It's, we can actually go play the game. Things like people telling you and the miracle on ice, 1980 US hockey team that beat the Russians despite the thousand one odds or whatever, it was a lot. Imagine saying before the game, guys, it's over, there's a thousand one odds, the math says you're going to lose. Okay, they didn't lose. They won. But why? Because they wouldn't play the game. And they played harder than the Russians. That's why they won. If we play harder than the Democrats, folks, we can win. We have the votes to do it. How do I know that? Because we just want a presidential election two years ago, that everybody told us we were going to lose to folks. We got a country to save, but I'm, this part, stings, but it's true. I put this post up yesterday. and I got a lot of feedback on this, a lot of good feedback. Some from folks like, "Dan, maybe you should tell people who you're talking about." No, you haven't earned that right. And folks, I don't want anyone distracted in, I'm just gonna be straight with you, podcast wars that are irrelevant to saving the country. The only reason I'm talking about this and that is relevant, it also, why bring it up, is because I'm gonna deliver some more bad news. Folks, these doomers and gloomers have had an impact. I was talking to a good friend of mine, he knows who he is, I went over to visit his new studio, be a guest on the show yesterday and his whole team. And folks, the counter messaging is real. Put up that post on X, I put up yesterday. Have you noticed this, especially in the last few weeks? This is my X account from yesterday, you can see the date. Be sure to notice the goons and frauds who are now upping their MAGA counter messaging, Agit prop BS just weeks before a critical election. And all caps, this is all intentional. They want the communists to win. They share the same worldview. Fact, it is a fact. Why aren't you making, because it's not important, what's important you understand is that there are Pholex MAGA people out there, who now you're seeing, just, you guys notice this too, just like random conspiracy theories popping up out of nowhere. Donald Trump as a, as a ward on his back, it's cancerous, he's gonna die tomorrow. You're like, why, where did that even come from? This stuff is all meant to diminish Republican turnout, because Pholex MAGA, I've been warning you about this since I've been back on the air, not only wants you to lose, but needs you to lose, because they want to say after the election, we told you, you should have listened us, they are doing everything they can. This election, some of this is paid for, by the way, by foreign governments, not all of it, but some of it. It's intentional. It's intentional. I'm begging you, as a friend, as a, and I mean it. Please do not get distracted with 40 days left. We've got a country to save, folks. We can still go play the 1980 hockey game against the Russians and win, despite being, can you look that up? What are you guys on chat, P.D.? What were the odds for the Russia 1980 US hockey game? I'm just curious to everybody told them they were gonna lose. The 1980 US hockey team played the Russians in an exhibition months earlier, and got destroyed. They were the greatest team in the history of hockey. They were told, you're just a bunch of college kids, you're never gonna win, and they won the game, because they had a country to save in the stagflation era, and they won out there and played the damn game, and won. You recognize the odds. You read the Daily Mail pieces, you don't ignore it. I'm not ignoring people and I was saying, hey, we could be in trouble and I, I'm not ignoring it. It does us no good to say, oh, no big deal. No, it is a big deal. Yes, for me, what were the odds? Wow, plus 600 to 1,000, but USA Soviet Union roughly minus 350 to minus 500, a $100 bet. Before example, $100 bet would have netted $600, plus the original 100 state. Wow, about a 14% chance. That's crazy. I give you the answer, I thought it was even worse than that, but I'm glad you say, and they played the game in one. I guarantee you, it's funny, you probably give the Republicans about a 15% shit, right? What are the, ask them, ask what are the Republican odds of holding the house? I'll bet it's roughly in the same territory, but you show up and you play the game. It is our job. We've got a country to save. Do you want Biden flation back? Do you want open borders back? Do you want defund the police back? Do you want George Floyd riots back? Do you want our military heroes being crapped on again? I don't want that win the game. We can still go out and play and do whatever we can. And if we lose, we lose honorably. We lose with nothing left in the gas tank. We gave it everything we had, and so did the 10 people we dragged with us to the polls. Folks, I have no ulterior motive. There's no foreign government paying me. We have sponsors like everyone else. They don't get involved in our politics at all. It just keeps the show free for you. This is just me, your friend Dan, who's been with you for 10 years, talking to you, the P1 listeners who's been there with us. Go play the game. Leave everything on the ice. And if we lose, we hang our heads high, and we get up the next day, and we fight again. Oh, I don't want to hear that, I'm not giving up. I've been through so many elections with you. Over the 15 years I've been doing commentary and 10 plus years in this show. I'm not giving up. I was told to give up after Obama won the second time. Dad, I was right. Look, what are the odds? GOP holds the house. Seven to 10%. Senate, 35, 40%. GOP holds both. Eight percent. About the same odds of the US hugging you. Go out and play the freaking game. We got nowhere else to go. Hey, man, you got nowhere else to go. No, I'm serious. You live in the greatest country on earth. You've got kids. I've got kids. You've got parents. You've got friends. You've got businesses. Where else are we going to go? We're going to lose to the Islamophonatics and the socialists because we're teaching Republicans a lesson. You're not teaching anybody a lesson but yourself. Folks, when the greatest broadcaster of conservative ideas of all time, Rush Limbaugh passed, it left a hole in this movement. I discussed this on the radio show yesterday. For those who miss it, there's different content on the radio. I just want to make sure I put that out there. But I discussed on the radio yesterday how, I'm sorry, I don't mean to turn in a man card, but think about what Rush brought. I'm a conservative because of Rush. So where are many of you? When Rush Limbaugh died, it wasn't just that he used a sports analogy that Rush Limbaugh was like Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time. Who knows how many MVP's he won? It was that Rush Limbaugh was Wayne Gretzky for 30 years. Wayne Gretzky wasn't Wayne Gretzky for 30 years. He had like a 15 year run. Rush Limbaugh for decades was Wayne Gretzky. And not only was he Wayne Gretzky for 30 years, he invented hockey. There's no conservative talk radio. Any with, there's no Beck, Hannity, Levin, Bon Gino, Vince, Clay, Travis, Dana. No one without Rush. Zero without Rush Limbaugh. So even if you're a doomer on my show that likes to troll the chat, whatever, man, I told you, you don't start threatening people, whatever. But even if you're a doomer in my chat and you're like, Dan, I'm still warming up to you. Cool, fine, let me establish Bonafidis with you. I'm cool with that. But I guarantee you, we all trusted Limbaugh because he'd been with us as the Godfather for 30 years. If you're ready to give up either now or even if election day isn't great. And you don't want to listen to me. It's a, hey, we got a country to save. There is no giving up. There's dusting off and fighting again. Then listen to the, I mean, the greatest of all time. This was Rush's message for 30 years, despite Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, know what, we are never, ever giving up because there's nowhere else to go. Check this out. 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. MLW 1960 in the chat. I miss Rush, CKSP. I listen to Rush every day. I love Rush. I see the chat just blowing up. American flags in the chat and honor are the greatest of all time. Folks, I'm going to tell you something. When I, I'm not even going to say took over because anything I say is going to sound terrible. When Rush passed way too early and I was asked to cover his spot on some, we were on like 250 stations, clay and bucket. The antenna has other ones. I'm going to tell you something that I've told you of and I was almost like embarrassed to be in the spot. The only reason I took it was because someone had to fill it and I just felt like the best I can do is honor his legacy by advancing conservatism. I was embarrassed to be there. How do you, it's like being the center fielder for the Yankees after Mickey Mantle. Like how the hell do you do that? Like being what's Gretzky's center? I'm not a hockey guy. Like after the Edmonton Oilers lost me. Went to the L.A. King's like who the hell is that? You're never going to be Gretzky. I don't care who you are. Never give up. You've got a country to save. Never, ever give up. I told you I got a lot of show today. I'm going to show you the consequences of this. And by the way, I'm going to show you also why the doomers and gloomers who have folks, they're really, they are doing their best right now. to lose this election. So they can say, I told you, so that's their only point to existence. I'm going to show you things that are happening and what you're up against, including a sick piece of video. And I don't mean sick like the kids say it in a good way. I mean sick like throw up. I can't believe sick piece of video out of California. If this doesn't motivate you to get out and vote, I don't know what will. Stay tuned. I'm going to take a quick break because anytime I talk about Russia, it's always emotional. Folks, you probably have a go-to place for everything, a mechanic, a restaurant you trust, you order from all the time. You know, we all have our roll the decks of places to use an old term there.

I'm actually excited about doing this, but I don't want anyone going into this with the thought that this game is over. We are going to play this game into the end and we'll leave it everything on the ice. I was kind of reminiscing a little bit yesterday. There's a big huge summit at the White House going on with Xi Jinping from China and President Trump. You know, there are people who are upset about the pageantry of folks. I'm not, you know, I'm not like these rumors of fraud or a hypocrite on these matters. This is how President Trump works. He is a transactional guy. Justin, how many times I use the word transactional with President Trump? I do, maybe 10,000. I've tried to explain this to people. He, yes, he has places he'd like to get to ideologically low taxes, high growth, liberty, and freedom in China. He understands that's not going to happen tomorrow. We have to deal with China because we don't want an AI cyber war and invasion of Taiwan. So he puts on a show because that's how he does his deals. Love it or hate it. That's how he rolls. However, you P1s, no, I've the P1 listeners, no, I've talked about this often. When you're a young secret service agent and you get to the president's detail, which is never right away. I don't care what they show you in the movies. It takes like eight to 10 years sometimes to get to the president's detail. If you get there at all, it's only a small fraction of secret service agents who get to protect the president. Another thing you don't see in the movies. They never put you on the shift, the working shift around the boss right away. You still got to get accustomed to the culture of the White House. So one of the things they do when you're a young agent is they stick you with the press because it's probably where you can do the least harm while you get used to the culture of the White House. So one of the things as a young press agent I noticed is when you go to communist countries, the culture of communism, which is like, hey, when we're the press for the Communist leader, we're just going to do whatever we want because that's how we do it in China. It comes over here too. And you've got to deal with this. You see this with every single communist country in the press guy. They'll try to steamroll you. Well, we do this in China. You know, we do this in Russia. Well, you're not doing it here. That's not the way this rolls. Okay. I want you to show that this. Here's the Chinese Communist Party press rolling around the press pool. They're of course trying to like, they tell them like, no, stay here. They're trying to get whatever angle they want. And the agents they're like, hey, man, that's not the way we roll here. Okay. Like you, whatever way you do it in the Chinese Communist Party, that's not the way we do it now. There was some other incidents too. One in the Brady press room. I've seen this over and over. When you deal with democracies, strong democracies, they're press people get it. Like, oh, there's security things. Okay. This is how we roll. I'm telling you like, they don't get that over there. You see, here's another one. Oh, hey, look, here we are. I'm going to, no, you're not going to do that. Really sorry. You're going to stay there and you're not going anywhere. So sorry. Just said Friday, I want to reminisce a little bit. I told you the good news, the good news part is we still have the ability to go and play the hockey game and win. It's not over. It's not over. Yogi bear right? It's not over till it's over. Hey, something I told you early on to that the dooms were lying to you about and I've told you they've had an impact. I know I've heard it. I get out in the real world, folks. I live in the real world. I'm dealing with something right now that's been sucking my soul out in the real world. I see people all the time. I told you about I was at my daughter's volleyball game. Nice man comes up to very nice guy, not in any way like agitating or confrontational, but he's like, hey, Dan, you know, Republican voters are frustrated. Nothing happened. I don't get this a lot, but I get it off and enough that I know the dooms have had an impact. And I'm like, I said to Michael, what do you mean? I said, you understand the jobless rates, the lowest it's been in American history, the poverty rate is the lowest it's been in modern American history, the crime rate. I retweeted a post by Rod Martin this morning. The streets are safer than they've ever been that the murder rate is the lowest that the median household income, a measure of household wealth is the highest it's been in 30, 40 years. I get it. There were downsides. The cost of diesel is high. The cost of gas is high. Inflation has been tamed bit, but not where we needed to be. I understand that. But we've got to take this all in context. There's always going to be good news and bad news. I'm telling you being transactional myself. If you would have put the Trump good news in a spreadsheet versus the bad news, a business term, net present value. In other words, is the value positive and a good thing today, measuring all those things? The net present value is unquestionably positive compared to the Biden years. Here's another thing you may have missed. I have direct experience with this. You're constantly told by the dooms who invent a new conspiracy theory every day. They've now totally jumped the shark. You see it. They've told you with the justice department, oh, nothing is happening. There's no reforms. Everybody got let off. Okay. Well, wait and see, folks. Wait and see. And I'm not asking. I am not asking you to trust me. I don't need you to trust me because I know what's happening. I don't need anyone's trust. There will be a spreadsheet of results when this is all said and done. And a lot of these dooms are going to be hanging their head in shame. I'm a big fan of harmy dill and love harmy. She's been a guest on my show before. Harmy is overrunning the civil rights division at the justice department. For all the folks out there who on the doomer side, I told nothing's happening. There's no reforms happening. Well, you think harmy's lying. She did a news appearance yesterday and she said, listen, the reason the justice department, the DOJ, I'm not going to say got off to a slow start at all because we were lock out done, but could have worked faster if we had the personnel is because a lot of people on the DOJ roster who were holdovers from the Biden administration, they weren't with the new constitutional program of the Trump government. So they left. But folks, I'm asking you a question. I'm being I'm not trying to be a juror. That's what we want, right? If people can't uphold the constitution and work in the Department of Justice and want to weaponize their jobs to be like the secret police, we don't want them, right? Yes or no? Like, of course we do. Here's Harmy talking about exactly that. I've explained this a thousand times. The doomers will tell you this never happened. Check this out. One of the largest divisions here at Maine Justice here in DC. When I started, it had about 400 attorneys in it. And when we came in and told the lawyers here that we were going to be implementing the president's executive orders and prioritizing getting rid of DEI and cleaning up voter rolls and, you know, doing some of these important things that the American people voted for, eventually about 300 of those attorneys quit. And so they self-deported. And we then I'll have the task of while we had DOJ restrictions and budgetary constraints, building back the Civil Rights Division. And I'm really happy to say that I have recruited over 100 great legal professionals here to the DOJ. We have revitalized our efforts. How's that possible, Justin? We're told nothing's happening. Folks, you can't have it both ways. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the doomers. The doomers will tell you the completely opposite story a week after they told you a different story. They'll say, well, nothing happened. There were no reforms. You mean, oh, you think Carmine's lying that we came in with an agenda. We are not weaponizing government anymore. We are cleaning this up because we're If people are policy, it worries me folks because if a Democrat selected in the next presidency, well, the DOJ and the FBI are under the executive branch, clearly, I'm sorry, but there were liberals listening who probably are hearing this for the first time, making a point, a whole new cadre of bad people, and you're going to have the same problems. I'm not one of these guys telling you, oh, don't worry, everything's fixed forever, that's not me. That's not me. Hey, flag this segment right here, I'm not kidding. Well, damn, why don't we just disband the place? I've heard that because they're just going to weaponize another US marshals, or it doesn't matter where they go, the ATF. You've got to vote, you've got to get on the ice and play the game, or bad people will take those 300 people back and we'll be right back where we were. I am not telling you this problem's fixed. Flag it. I mean, this segment is the most important. Flag it. You say that one slow, it's like master, debater, flag it in the chat. This is your country. If we elect bad people, bad things are going to happen. I don't care if you call it the DOJ, the JOD, the IBF, the FBI, the AED or DEA. You put morons and tyrants in charge, you're going to get tyranny. I say that because again, the doomers and gloomers will tell you, well, okay, it may have happened in the FBI, but it didn't happen in the DOJ, but it didn't happen in the FBI. They wrote about it. Please put up the article. You think we're making us up? The left wing media came after me and cash for this exact same thing calling it a purge. Isn't that a movie to purge? Like there's one night a year, like everybody gets to do whatever they want, the purge. That's a movie, right? Look at that Bloomberg, Ben Penn, cash Patel. Pushes out more FBI leaders and agents in renewed purge. The purge has happened. What, what's the, I thought the doomers told you not to this happen. Folks, 10% of our workforce in the FBI, there were 38,000 plus employees. 10% left were terminated or resigned when we got in there. We didn't know. I've never heard that before. Because the doomers have told you otherwise that nothing's happening. Don't vote. Well, you think Bloomberg's like a big phantomine and cash, like they're just rightness to appeal to like, you know, right wing folks. It was not a purge. It was fixing a car that was a jalopy and was broken. Call it a damn purge. What are you talking about? I'm just trying to tell you folks voting matters. We can fix this place and I'm trying to tell you most importantly, please, I told you please, please, please flag this segment. I can only vote once. I'm not a Democrat. People are policy. If we forfeit this election because the doomers want the socialist to win its intentional, we're going to get the same bad people running whatever three or four letter organizations in the government, the CIA, the Secret Service, whatever, and you're going to be right back to where you were. I can't fix it alone. I'm not and never pretended to be anyone small and Messiah. I am not. I was a piece of a huge machine and I'm proud of what we did. But if you want this stuff, do you want this cement to dry and you want this stuff reasonably repaired in a long term, we got to vote. This is what I'm talking about when I mentioned this video earlier. If this is in motivation for you to get out and vote, I can't help you. You want open borders again? It's going to happen if we lose the midterm and lose the presidency. And to me, it is going to happen. I very few things in life are 100 percent probabilities. This is 100 percent. Mines me that scene in zero dark 30, which was a little politicized, but you get the point. What are the chances been? Lots there. Jessica Chastain, character says 100 percent and she goes, I get it, you're not comfortable with certainty. Okay. 99. I don't care if you're comfortable with certainty. I'm telling you 100 percent certainty, 100 percent certainty. The borders will open again, 20 million people be back in the country. Every single thing we did will get thrown out. Dispanned DHS. It doesn't matter what you call it. They'll open the borders if it's SHD or DHS. You want this guy back in the country and want you to listen to this news report. And illegal in this country, in a court proceeding, a very serious court proceeding, talking about killing cops, laughing about it, killing our finest, our police officers. Look, they're ass on the line every freaking day of their lives. They come home at night and the greatest sound in the world to their spouse, significant other, boyfriend, girlfriend, you know what it is? It's the sound of Velcro at night. You police officers in the chat know exactly what I'm talking about. They put their ass on the line every day. You've got this douche canoe in court in this freaking segment here, laughing about killing cops. I'm going to kill him again. He's in the country illegally. You want more of this? You're right. Don't show up in vote. Teach the Republicans a lesson by allowing the socialist to win. I ain't doing it. I got a country to save and so do you. Watch this and get really pissed off like I did. Even though the man you see smiling and smirking has officially entered a not guilty plea, Luis Bracomontis has sounded like anything but an innocent man. That was part of his expletive field rant on Tuesday inside a Sacramento County courtroom. The Mexican illegal immigrate with an extensive criminal history went on to say he should have killed more cops back in October of 2014 when he gunned down Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County Sheriff's Detective Michael Davis, Jr. I'm gonna break out soon and I will kill more. So that sound the Velcro at night didn't happen for the spouses of those two heroes. You want to tell me again about your open boydress thing? Well, not all illegals go on to commit more crime. Nobody ever said that, but some of them do and kill police officers and they shouldn't have been here at all. What kind of stupid ass comment is that? Well, only a couple of shot and killed our cops, really, folks. You see why Rush said that we're never giving up the odds are 10%. We could win the house. Good. I'll take those odds right now because if you show up, there are 100%. We have enough people to win this election if you show up and drag 10 people. The math works for us. You just have to execute or this guy and more of him are gonna be allowed into the country. That chat is fired up now. Folks, I wore a shield on my chest, okay? I was a police officer in the 75 precinct in East New York, Brooklyn. They had shirts made up. You give us 10 minutes. We'll give you a homicide, probably not politically correct now. It was after this news station, 1010 wins, which is still on the air. And their tagline was you give us 10 minutes, we give you the world. We had something like 100 plus homicides or something a few years before I got there, 200 plus in one precinct. That's the entire homicide count for the entire city of Baltimore. You want more of our police officers dead? As we let this guy in the country who thinks it's funny, he thinks this is a joke. You're gonna have Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas, any holiday from this point on with this clown taking people. Look at this. I don't want to say something so bad right now. You get empty seats at the table. His police officers had kids, forever. Oh, that was dad's seat. You still want to like teach Republicans a lesson by not showing up. I'm sorry folks, but even like not the worst because some of them, I'm talking about not the full X people, but even the worst actual Republican is probably terrible. Maybe votes would trump 20% of time is 20% better than the zeros you're going to elect who want to defund the police and get these men and women killed. I ain't doing that man. No, I'm not on board. And I'm telling you now, and flag this in the chat too, if it's a freaking blue tidal wave and we lose every single seat. The next day I'm getting up and I'm going to be really pissed off and I'm focused on the next day. But I'm not doing okay. Okay, fine. I am. I got a country to say if I'm not giving up. I'm not. Where else are you going to go? What are we going to fight for, Canada? Voting matters. Showing up matters. You want more of this, fraud, waste, government debt. You got government treasury instruments now. People are losing faith in the dollar because of all this fraud, abuse of government funds, prolific waste at the state level Democrats love this stuff. even freaking mandami who's a communist up in new york is like hey why the hell are the republicans monopolizing the fraud waste and abuse message that should be ours too i don't know mom don't be maybe because you're a communist and love to waste money there was a great segment on the five we're jesse waters yesterday talked about the massive almost unprecedented amount of health care fraud to the tune of billions of dollars happening with obama care you would think the democrats would be like hey man this money should go to people who can use obama i don't even like obama can be you get the point no the democrats love fraud just like they love open borders and they love illegals in the country it's just a fact if they didn't love it they wouldn't fight for it so much here's jesse waters great segment telling you something about the fraud you may not have known this is worth a minute of your time check this out how they found the fraud Greg how yeah there you go that's how it and that's why the democrats are so scared because it could expose everything patterns obama and biden designed the program like this so you get a kickback they called a commission but i like to call it a kickback every time you sign somebody up for obama care so they had a fraud ring it would just go around and sign up like fifty thousand people for obama care and then just count the money and the people didn't exist or they didn't live here or they were eligible and these guys were just making it rain and they made it easy for the fraud to happen they had a million people Greg enroll in obama care with no social security numbers and then no one flagged it after covid obama care enrollment doubled all of a sudden doubled and then all of a sudden all these scammers got paid that's what's going on and you know who said finding fraud in corruption was a right wing thing beside you mandani he said it can't be where one party owns rooting out fraud in corruption and the next part is like and it's partisan you can't have a high trust society when one party is like doesn't care thank you brother Jesse they found it through the use of just basic AI tools hey find people who have no social security wow why do they have no social security maybe they're here illegally maybe they don't meet the income requirements obama care folks I'm a capitalist I hate obama care period okay full stop right there however if we're stuck with this dreadful crap hole of a freaking healthcare system then at least keep people off it who don't belong this should not even be a Republican issue they love the fraud why do they love the fraud for the same reason they love open borders anything that can destroy the system from the inside so they can rebuild it in their socialist islamo fanatic model it's all considered good they don't care how many people die how many cops get hurt how many towns overrun by illegals how many people get kicked off their health care they don't care about any of this if they did they would stop it and they don't stop it why don't they stop it producer Jim because they don't want to folks you have a choice the hockey game has not been played yet we can still go on the ice leave everything out there and overcome 100 to one odds we can win this game we can win this game don't let the doomer's win they want this they want this country destroyed too folks here's who you're running against too freaking hair gel in California Newsom who runs the most mismanaged state in the history of the United States modern day California a state overflowing with riches oil amazing weather you ever been to San Diego it's like perfect weather year round it's like someone painted the weather like a vista you've got the tech quarter you've got some of the best schools in the world and the place has been run into the ground this guy is gonna run for president and if we lose in the midterms they're gonna have a huge base of people please follow me here because this is important this the mechanics of how this is going to work a really important it is easier to raise money for your party when you run the house and send it because you have the chairman spots of committees and can dictate what comes up in front of your committee so if you're in the transportation committee or whatever it may be and you're some big transportation company I don't know Joe's airlines your lobbyists are going to start paying the democrats and donating the democrats if we win this guy is gonna if we lose excuse me in the midterms any democrat including hair gel is gonna get an influx of money for their presidential run like you've never seen it's all connected it's a it's a nasty gross system but it's a system we're stuck with and it works that way for both sides here's freaking hair gel who showed up in New York for some stupid reason no one even knows why runs through most poorly managed state in the history of the United States claiming somehow like he has some great energy policy vision for the entire country wait Justin can we do this in reverse I know you can you put the chat GPT thing up first just so we set up this conversation I just asked chat GPT a really simple question on my phone it's not a scheme a scam you can check it out yourself how do California energy prices compare with the rest of the United States California's energy prices especially electricity and gasoline are among the highest in the United States you can ask yourself if you don't believe me you think I made this up so California is a model for inefficiency on energy look at these prices per kilowatt hour versus the U.S. average almost double 88% higher California has the second highest energy cost behind Hawaii that's like an island and stuff so they've got to like ship a lot of this stuff in California it's got oil right there here's Newsom up at the U.N. like hey man I got this great model and we're gonna bring it to the entire United States you're voting on gas prices I understand I listen I get it these all is high gas prices I get you I hear you I'm not in any way ignoring you or gaffing off your concerns I'm just telling you if you want them higher like the second highest in the entire country almost double the national average then vote for this guy check this out and I'm one of the sponsors ironically here Chevron and the oil interests to gut California's leadership so that they can continue to spew a pollution blanket and we're gonna fight hard the absence of his leadership to assert our leadership which goes back to Ronald Reagan in 1967 who's looking down literally not figuratively at Donald Trump every single day because there is a painting of Reagan right in the Oval Office and it's appropriately placed above the Resolute desk looking down at this invasive species called Donald Trump I'm so sick of this guy man I'm so sick of this guy in his BS listen there there's no one in politics who says you know less by saying more than Buttigieg there's no one I think Dumber at that level of politics than Kamala Harris and AOC and I mean it like a generally low IQ there is not a more deceptive magician and I don't mean that as a compliment there are good magicians out there this guy pulls a rabbit out of a hat every single time California derangement syndrome I just asked AI a simple question you're talking about your vision for energy prices and your division for the entire country it's the second worst in the country don't you have an AI app check Grock check Gemini check Muse you suck you weren't I take the you're the second worst level of suck out of 50 states or Obama's 52 or ever many he thought they were you are the second worst and the first worst is an island where they have to ship stuff in you have oil in your state and you suck so bad an island is the only state with higher prices you're not teaching anyone a lesson even if you are a single issue voter and I understand gas is high diesel or high I get it there is no lesson taught other than elect Democrats and I promise you they'll be higher I promise you like I just gave you the receipts folks contrasted with I could told you the president's record I acknowledge the problems I just told you however crime rates jobless rates poverty rates median household income we're building things again I showed you yesterday just yesterday alone something like 2.5 billion dollars in investment by manufacturers back in the United States here's another one on true social yesterday president Trump announced this is huge these are American companies and American workers all caps big day for Boeing and American manufacturing Today, Turkey and Bangladesh announced purchases totaling 111 Boeing airplanes with options for 50 more. This is tens of billions of dollars in sales, huge U.S. exports. This is jobs. This is high-tech quality jobs and manufacturing, airplanes, tech, software, hardware, services. You know, steel again. This is happening in the United States. People are building here again. It's a national defense issue. It's a good jobs issue. It's an economic issue. Do you want that? Or do you want the second highest gas prices, energy prices in the country? Because Hairgel told you about California derangement syndrome. It sounds more like Trump derangement syndrome to me. We have the data. Nobody, by the way, even the Trump haters with actual Trump derangement syndrome. Did you notice they never dispute the numbers? The median household income numbers, the highest they've ever been, stock market, highest, it's ever been over and over. They never dispute the numbers. They just throw out other numbers. Well, Diesel's like, okay, just point stipulated. We're trying to fix it. You know, I'm a big fan of Senator Mike Lee. He's been a supporter for a long time. And I tell you, he's one of the good guys. You know, he really, he's been with me a long time. He was asked the question, yes, cable news appearance, about, and you know, listen, Senator Lee will tell himself. He, you know, he speaks very, he's a very competent constitutional attorney. But he's not really known as a big, a big flamethrower up on the hill. And this isn't him screaming and yelling, but this is about 30 seconds of Senator Lee. He's asked a very simple question. I believe by Larry Cudlow, like, Hey, man, like, what's the stakes in this upcoming election? I want you to listen. I have a different approach. But he is absolutely correct on this. Check this out. GOP beat the Democratic Socialists of America in this midterm election. We can, we must and we will beat the Democratic Socialists of America. Because the American people want their lives to become more affordable again. We want to reinvigorate the American dream. We want to restore the permissionless society that can operate outside of government. The Democratic Socialists of America want to inject more government into everything we do. That makes us all poor. That makes us all less free. These are things that are contrary to the American DNA. We will not tolerate those things. American voters will not elect those things this November. Folks, I'm asking you as your friend and I, and I mean it, man, I didn't. I didn't come here with any agenda other than you. Please play this hockey game. Leave every single ounce of ATP, creatine, phosphate, energy, glucose, fat, anaerobic. I don't care aerobic energy. Leave it on the ice, man. If we lose and it's fair, we'll find out a way to win the next one. I'm telling you, man, the worst, worst electoral day of my life was not when I lost. It wasn't. I ran a couple times myself. The worst day of my life was when Obama won reelection. It was anyone who was with me then knows. I couldn't believe it. I could not believe after four years of that absolute debacle, this guy won again. And if there was ever a time because I'm not holier than now, I'm just a dude like you guys, man. I have no special powers here, okay? If there was ever a time I was almost ready to give up, that was it. What I didn't, it took me a little bit brushed off and we got back into fight. And we got too solid at least now six years in, six years of President Trump. You got the big, beautiful bill. You got safer streets. You got manufacturing coming back. You've got a border closed. You've got our military being reinvigorated. You've got the technology corridor exploding. You've got media and household income at records, folks. I'm not going back, man. And I'm certainly not giving up this freaking hockey game before it's even played. I don't care if it's a 2% shit. There you go. You know these guys, that's why I threw George Lucas in yesterday. These guys are all obsessed with Star Wars. So read this thing. You think I'd asked on the job application, are you a Star Wars fanatic? It just happened by chance. Never tell media. New Han Solo, even though Harrison Ford's a big libby. That kind of killing me with that. Just pretend Han Solo was real and he's not Harrison Ford. Pretend this name is Ford Harrison or something. And Indiana Jones is Jones, Indiana, Indiana. That's the dog's name. Some of you get that. I actually am a big. I mean, it's maybe heresy. I don't want to lose any P1 Star Wars fans. I'm actually a bigger fan of Raiders of the Lost Dark than I am of Star Wars. I love Raiders of the Lost Dark. I've been obsessed with that movie as a kid. I will never forget walking out with my dad. And it was one of those little, like, at the end of a parking spot, they have those concrete things. And I jumped over like I was Indiana Jones. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was like, Dad, can you get me a bull whip? My father was like, Dad, that's not a good idea. How old? When did Indiana Jones, when did Raiders come out? Anyone know in the chat? I forget. I was young. I remember being super young. And I jumped over this thing. I was like, Dad, get me a bull whip. And maybe a 38 too. It's definitely not a good idea. Not a little young, 81, 81. So I was six or seven dependent on the month because my birthday is at the end of the year. Dad, get me a bull whip. Daniel, not a good idea. Remember that, Dad? My father thankfully is still around. So he watches the show. Do you remember that? Do you remember me jumping over the thing? I wonder sometimes, because I'm a parent. My kids have different memories than their parents do. Folks, listen, I'm going to transition to some really good news here. And the good news is related to this election, but on a different front. This isn't about objective facts. Hey, Dad, you always are a numbers guy. I get it, but not the world isn't all numbers, folks. It's not. Culture is culture. And you can sense when there's a change coming. I'm setting this up poorly. Hey, let me throw myself under the bus. Let me just say it straight. Donald Trump has changed the culture of America and corporate America too. And there is no businesses listening to me right now. I don't care if you're a fortune 500 or a fortune no hundred. There is no future in anti-Americanism. Donald Trump has got this culture back on the right track where people are going to be proud of America again. And I'm telling you, there's no future in this. I promise this will make sense in a second. Put up that fortune article. Here's where I'm going with this. Corporate America decided under the Obama and Biden years they were going to start doing DEI, wokeness, they're going to start making everything about communism, social ism. They're going to attack any company or any person who believes in America. Well, it's not working out. Yahoo finance. Did you miss this article from a few weeks ago Nike? Nike, you mean like shoes and a parallel? Yes, that Nike. That's one of the biggest companies in the world, right? Apparently not anymore. Nike exits the S&P 100 after 18 years and a $200 billion market cap wipeout. Justin's got a lot of money. Justin's like, nah, I made that this weekend on my paper out and it's a lot of money. That's a lot. 200 bail out of my, that's a lot of money to lose. Folks in the chat tell me, why did Nike lose that money? You know, because you know how many marketing people they paid billions of dollars to get them with the Colin Kaepernickson or, hey man, defund the police, whatever it is crap. And they were told by marketing people who get paid millions of dollars. They were told, this is the greatest thing ever. This is where the country is, crap all over the country, it'll be great. It didn't work out. Now, they've got new leadership in charge. There are people who work there who love America. They just work, I don't wish ill on American businesses. I don't. I hope they turn it around. But I'm not, you know, going to vocally support companies that just crap on America. There's no future in this. I bring that up because I was down in Auburn again this weekend. I was at the game. I got Coach Bruce Burrell coming up in a minute. We talk about college sports and this, Donald Trump is actively involved in this college sports argument. But don't miss the interview because I know a lot of you are thinking, why did Donald Trump get involved in college sports? Because it's not about college sports. Yes, no, it isn't. The current controversy around college sports is that some of these colleges are anchor economic facilities in small towns in America. You can't just let them go under. We got to figure this out. So I got him coming up in a minute. But I was in Auburn this weekend for the University of Florida Auburn Tigers football game. And Coach John Gruden works at bar stool with Donald. It wasn't really a nice guy. I met him. I'm very gracious. Just a really good decent guy. And he put this video up about, and I was here for this on the side. This is America. The fly over by the helos, looks like a Chinook. I don't know what else. It was 53s or 60s up there. I was there for that. And man, let me tell you folks, I'm just going to be straight with the Auburn Tigers football games. Not that great this year. I hope we can turn it around. Only two and one. But look at that stadium. There's about 80,000 people there. That gets me going to coach. You know why college football and the SEC down in the-- America loving South is succeeding. Tell me in the chat answer the question for me. It's succeeding because our patriots down in the American South freaking love this country. And they don't want to go to a game or support a company that's crapping on America constantly, with your stupid BLM messages and all this other crap. They just want to go and feel like part of something that's bigger than themselves, American flags in the chat. And something bigger than themselves is not America sucks that something smaller than you. Why are SEC college sports exploding? Why did the old Miss LSU game? Yeah, I get the Kiffin thing all this other stuff. I understand. Why did it get 10 million, 10 million viewers? 10 million, you know how many viewers that is? I was on TV, I had a TV show. Do you have any idea how big, we were like the number one show in a weekend. I think the biggest audience we ever had is like 2.2 million. They had 10 million viewers for all Miss LSU because people love America and the South and these football programs recognize it. There ain't no future folks in crappin' on America. Corporate America fire these marketing idiots tomorrow. They're feeding you a bunch of crap. You went, did you guys do our liner for the, we did? Okay, so throwin' myself under the bus here because again, I have no superpowers here. And we'll talk to Coach Pearl about this coming up in a minute. Should I throw my, I should, right? I am constantly, I love Mother Nature, I love dogs, I love nature, I just do. So can we get some preemptive muttlies in the chat laughing at me? I get burned by these AI videos all the time. The Mother Nature ones, aren't you? Because I just, I'm a sucker for a good Mother Nature video. So we're gonna start a segment on this show. I won't burn it out too much. But the guys constantly laugh at me and they're like, dude, you got burned again at dog videos fake. So I sent them on this morning and I'm like, this is really cool, like, dude. This is definitely okay. I'm like, no, it's not. So we're gonna start a new segment. Justin put this together. Justin, play this thing. (upbeat music) That's good. I didn't know what he's gonna do. That's not even me, dude. That's just folks. That is not, you see what they did there, right? So I asked him to put, like, a fake game show theme, AI, or not, for those listening on radio and listening on Spotify and Apple. And they generated an AI Dan Bongino that looks nothing like me at all. That, no, no. So I sent them this cool video of Mother Nature. Apparently it's fake Mother Nature. But I like it anyway. Look at it, it's grisly bare. It's like, yeah, look, there's some charging. It's bison, little, little, uh. But oh, no, my mom's coming to the rescue. A little baby, oh, yeah. Freakin' J.J. Watt coming out of nowhere. From the top ropes. Giving them the people's elbow. They said it's fake. I don't really care. AI or not. I'm saying no. These guys say it's real. Fake AI damage. That is definitely fake. But the suit is real. That's an actual tie. Paula, I mean, where'd you get that from my FBI picture? You did, right? 'Cause I know I wore that tie. AI, we're not. Now, because the show. (laughing) That's a great game show for you. I love that. Now folks, because I love you on the chat. And as they say often, this show is for you. Brothers and sisters, anything for me. Do you want to continue this segment? If you don't say no, tell me, Dan, it sucks. And we'll stop. If you like it, we won't wear it out. But we'll do AI or not. 'Cause I only do a Mother Nature. I rarely get burned on real stuff. 'Cause I know, you know. If I see a segment of Barack Obama talking about how much he loves capitalism and free markets, believe me, I'm doing a triple AI check on that one. So look, there's a lot of no. See, I'm telling you, man, it looked real to me. If not, it was some damn good, freaking AI. Also, it's Friday before we get to our comment of the day. Producer Jim always puts together this Democrat Zen moment. It's the Zen moment of the day for you on Friday to end the weekend in peace and calm. I don't see it beforehand, so language alert. Is there language in it? The answer is, I don't know. But every time I ask these guys, they go, "No, there's no Lionel lady winds up coming on drop in some lady with green hair, 20 F bombs." So let's see what we got on this Friday for your Democrat Zen moment of the day. - Or Democrat Zen moment of the day. A peaceful moment to center your mind. - Capitalism is brain damage. - It's an unnatural system that has fought with the biology of our minds and our-- - This isn't real, this is AI, this is AI or not. This is our humanity lives like empathy, self control. - No way. - No, this is not real. - For capitalism, the priority of the humans was-- - It's at Chomey Navy, what is that on? - Tiktok? - Safety of the children, but when agriculture was developed-- - This has been Democrats and what in '80s is that? That can't be real. That should have been, forget the bison Grizzly Bear, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, match up with them. That should have been in our AI or not. That's why the '80s is not real. There we go. Thank you. We're mixing now two segments. This is how creative this show gets. On the fly, the live show, we just do this, we're now mixing two segments. That ain't real. Sorry. Be ready, ain't ain't no word, it's a word. I grew up in here, we call it a word. You know, we pick our comment of the day. Every week we pick one lucky winner wins $1,776. Why? Because we just love you guys. We like to get away money, it's no agenda there at all. People ask me about the rules. Very easy, go to bongino.com/1776. You can read the rules right there. Our comment of the day is, before we get to Coach Pearl, comment, he's right. There's a lot of needles moving in California. You got needles? You see what they did there? The needles and that is not AI. That is where there are way too many needles moving in California. You see those skid row things? Comment, congratulations. Good job.

(upbeat music) Welcome to the show, a good friend to liberty and freedom around the world, a good friend of mine, the former basketball coach of the great Auburn Tigers who we love, my friend Bruce Pearl. Bruce, welcome to the show. Bongino, it's great to be with you this morning. - Well, it was great to be with you on the planes at the campus this weekend at Auburn. And I want to get to some of that and admit it, you do whole, I don't want to call it a controversy because I think there's good people on both sides. But the whole college sports ecosystem, I think you and I, Bruce, can both agree, is in a little bit of flux right now. These amazing athletes who you've coached successfully in one of the most successful college basketball turnarounds ever at Auburn for years. These are amazing kids. You are a character first school. You've coached them, your son Stevens doing an amazing job right now. And I think everybody agrees that they deserve to have their value somewhat compensated. However, this whole system now is a little bit chaotic with the NIL where they can license their name, image and likeness. And I know Nick Saban and others are involved in what should, so what are your thoughts on how this system should proceed forward? So America can enjoy college sports. Colleges are doing okay and the athletes are doing okay too. Well, dad, it's a great subject to be talking about. I know it's a lot of interest to your viewers and listeners. First of all, let's talk about the good. The product on the field and on the courts right now may never have been better. Right? Interest is still incredibly strong. What did you do? intercollegiate athletics do over the last 40 years to our country. It made it better. College scholarships brought rural Americans to school. They never thought they were going to go to college, but they had athletic ability. It made the kids start to get healthier and train and eat better and exercise and be fit for the opportunities made to compete on their sport. It brought women to college campus. All of a sudden, you got Title IX. All of a sudden, there's equal opportunity and when I'm old enough to remember that when we started with women's college sports, they weren't eating with a football team once. They weren't eating with a basketball team once. They had no support. They do now. What an amazing thing that's been. Intercity kids that would have never thought about going to universities started going to universities. It just it brought diversity. It cut down on racism and all kinds of different things. And we loved it. It's America's past time. There's no place in the world that has on these beautiful college campuses around the country. You don't have to live in a pro city to be able to enjoy sports and enjoy sports. The competition, like we hate each other at Alabama and Auburn, but no, we really don't. There's a healthy rivalry. So all these things are worth saving. Now, what's the problem? The problem is the NCAA was ignorant and arrogant and laid to the party compensating the student athletes. They were late. We were taking advantage of them. We should have been giving them annuities. We should have given a realistic scholarship. And the question is how much of these athletes were exactly what they're getting paid right now. The market says that college football quarterbacks were $4 million for Indiana University to win an ad. Okay? So we this is the country we live in. This is capitalism. This is the great society. This is where people can obviously be great. The problem is we have no rules. We have no equal playing field anymore right now. And that's a real problem. So Ted Cruz's Protect College Sports Act, which has gone through the Senate and passed the House will take it up after after the midterms. It stops the bleeding. It puts a little bit of guardrails around the spending that which is out of control. Dan, two years ago, 2025, when I was in the final four, my roster was $4 million. Dan, this year in the 2027 final four, there will be a college basketball roster that will approach $30 million. It's unsustainable. It's going to, it's going to, if we keep this up and if we don't stop this bleeding and create some rules around transfers and free agency, so and so forth, you're going to see more women's sports cut. You must see more Olympic sports cut. The time to act now. This is what Coach Sabin has been talking about. I think Ted Cruz is on it. The SEC, the big 10 supported and Congress needs to pass it when they get back after the midterms. And coach, you're talking to Coach Bruce Pearl. Coach, President Trump has been really vocal about this. Listen, it's a really serious issue. I think, you know, people who, and I'm not suggesting anyone in my audience at all, is doing this, but there are some people, you know, whatever it's college sport like, is this really a big deal? You just indicated why some of these colleges are anchor facilities for entire towns, i.e. Auburn. I mean, there's no question. What up? By the way, what an amazing, amazing place. I mean, it's one of these places where some colleges are in towns that are struggling a little bit. Auburn, the town is amazing and the school's amazing, but no one would seriously question it's the economic anchor of an Alabama doesn't have pro sports teams. That is their pro. The iron ball is their super ball. Like, it's not just it's an economic issue. It's an actual fairness issue. Not the way the socialists use it. And the fact that President Trump considers it so important and brought in thought leaders like Nick Sabin and others who have direct experience, I think, speaks to the importance of this issue right now. I agree. The President Trump has got courage. He's not a politician. He looks at problems and he tries to solve them. He comes up to solutions. It's like, it's funny. I listen to the Democrat socialists talk about it's all about affordability. It's all about the cost of gas and and across the grocery. They don't tell you how to fix it. Could you imagine, Dan, just just imagine this. Okay, listen to the Democrats were in charge. And we'd be involved with some conflicts in the Middle East and the energy crisis. Could you imagine what the cost of diesel fuel would be right now if the Democrats were in charge? They'd say, well, there wouldn't have been a war with Iran. No, you know what, you're right. There would have been a nuclear holocaust. There would have been a nuclear Iran. President Trump knew that this wasn't exactly a very popular thing for the midterms to get involved in this thing with Iran. But you know what? He cares more about our country. He cares more about the future of your children and my children. And having the world be a little bit safer, we're going to get through this affordability crunch. And we go to the ballot box in November. We better remember that because if the Democrats were in charge, or they get in charge, we're in a world of hurt because they're crazy. I couldn't agree with you. I did the whole beginning of the show about this today. You know, and one of the segments I led into this segment with you is how really the market for anti-Americanism in corporate America ever since the re-election of President Trump is not there. Bruce said that companies are finding out the hard way that voting against America on your corporate board is a really bad idea. The reason I bring it up with you is the SEC, which is of course the conference that Auburn Tigers are in. You know, you had Alabama. You got Ole Miss. You've got these just amazing schools. You know, when you go down to a college football game and the planes down there in Auburn, and you've got 80,000 people at a football game watching, you know, the Eagle Land, the Eagle flight go on. Coach John Gruden, who is at Whit Barstool, was down there. We both ran into him this weekend. And he put out a video I showed at the end of the show today. And he just for a guy who's got the breadth of sports experience is the great coach, Gruden, to go there and be in awe of frankly a college team. I mean, what would essentially be in baseball, AAA baseball, but 80,000 people showing up. It just goes to show you the southeastern conference when you love America and you show your fans, you love America. Even if the Auburn Tigers struggled like they didn't we people will still show up because they want to feel part of something bigger than themselves. Yeah, I agree. And obviously it's more than the tailgating and the band and the cheerleaders and the pageantry and all that stuff, which is so much fun. It's a way for us to unite and kind of love our country. I mean, who else plays God bless America before a football game? We do that at Auburn. And singing in the national anthem, you know, when kids come to the Auburn basketball camp, all right? And they're little kids. What do college players do before every game? We stand and we celebrate our country. We put our right hand over our heart, our left hand behind our back and we sing the national anthem. What else do we sing the national anthem about about the college sporting event? And all those campers kind of might can't because they want to be future Auburn basketball players. Well, if you want to be a future Auburn basketball player, need to learn how to address the flag. You need need to learn how to pay tribute to our country. So the first thing we do in the mornings before we start camp, we line up and we sing God bless America and we play the national anthem and those kids grow up with that. And you know what? Some day they'll understand how to lead their family by example. Your presence is your gift when you do these type of things. And so, you know, you get the fly over. You know, you get the you get the eagle. It's spectacular. We're talking to coach Bruce Perolley, Auburn Tigers. Coach, I before leaving, I just got to get your take on a football basketball for the Tigers. We've got a ton of War Eagle followers in our chat room every day. They love you. But I wanted to get your thoughts on this. You and one of the things you and I have bonded on way before we met it before my family members even went to Auburn. We've known each other is listen, I put out a post yesterday and I said, listen, support civilization in this war with the bad guys. Like you're always beyond the right side of wrong if you do. I saw a Prime Minister Netanyahu speech yesterday at the UN. And listen, everyone knows where I stand on this issue proudly, strongly. And I will never waver on this. However, he addressed something I think is critical. This really dangerous myth out there that there is a genocide going on to the Palestinian people. Coach, the facts matter. The Arab population in Israel has grown. It has not been wiped out. There are Arab serving in a primarily Jewish country's government system. You don't see that another Arab or Persian countries around the world. You see the effort. Yes, it was a war. War is ugly. Period. Everyone gets that. But people who engage in war trying to commit genocide don't give out polio vaccines. Don't call and text people. Hey, get out of the danger zone. Don't try to facilitate transportation for people into Egypt and elsewhere outside of the danger zone. Like that's the exact opposite of a genocide. If you're going to downgrade the definition of genocide, every war in human history would be genocidal. It's not right. It's just inaccurate. Disagree all you want about the Netanyahu government. That's your right as an American, but at least be honest about it. Well, you're entitled your opinion, but not your own facts. And so the fact of the matter is, and you can go get on chat, GBT, get a quad. And that's the question that in 1948, how many Arabs lived in that region? Total. And the answer is about 160 to 170,000 Arabs lived in the entire area of Israel, Judea, Samaria. Okay. Today, Dan, there are two million Israeli Arab citizens, citizens with full equal rights from 160,000 to two million. But I'm not done. In addition, there are two million Arabs, Al-Palestinians in Gaza. I'm not done. There are 2 million Arabs of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria alone, that's 6 million. You don't go over 160,000 to 6 million and say there's been a genocide. I want to just one more fact that I think is really interesting. I thought about this the other day. So the fundamental issue is that the reason why people want a free Palestine is they think that what happened was the gates of Auschwitz opened up and the Jews that were left standing all moved to Israel and they kicked millions of Arabs out of the land. Let's just say hundreds of thousands out of the land, they stole their land. That's why they want the right to return to come back. Question. Tel Aviv, the largest city in Israel, in 1948, how many Arabs lived in the largest city in Israel? Any answer is zero. In 1948 there was zero Arabs living in Tel Aviv. How few there really were about a third of them stayed and became citizens, about a third of them fought with the Arab armies in 1948 and lost and about a third of them left with the idea of coming back to Israel someday after all the Jews were killed and moved in. Look, these wars do have consequences. But you're talking about in 1948 the displacement of hundreds of Palestinians, not thousands, not millions, the Jews did not still the land. That's just the argument on the ground. Forget about the biblical arguments, forget about the historical algorithms, those are simply the facts. There has not been a genocide. You don't, Gaza has been obliterated. It has been obliterated. It's been destroyed. Israel got 200,000 bombs or rockets onto Gaza in this war and yet only 60 to 65,000 deaths. Every, either Israel are terrible shots which they're not or they intentionally went house to house. There are a thousand dead, IDS soldiers. There are 2,000 orphans in Israel right now because of dead mothers and dead fathers because Israel went house to house, carefully trying not to kill civilians then they could have dropped the two bombs and wiped the whole thing off the map. That's genocide, Israel did not and people just need to understand the difference. And just in closing, you know, Bruce, went even according to the Palestinians obviously questionable numbers which are typically propaganda, even according to their own numbers. The overwhelming majority of deaths and no one wants death and destruction have been fighting age males. It's still own numbers, Bruce, which, let's be real, most of their numbers are complete garbage and propaganda. They're even telling you this story. Every death is horrible. We get it. War is an ugly thing. But again, as you just said, the facts matter, if we're going to use reason to solve global geopolitical problems, we can't do it on fairy tales. We need numbers and data and that data that they're feeding people about genocide is crap. It's just not true. It's not. You and I once won't what's best for America, first and foremost, first and foremost, as an American Jew, if being a great ally of Israel was not in our country's best interest, I wouldn't want us to be an ally of Israel. I care about this country first and foremost. Now, some of some people will hear that, oh, that's a bunch of crap, all you do is care about Israel. That's not true. When Dan, you know this, you know more than anybody knows, okay? About the intelligence around the world that Israel is able to provide the United States of America, you understand how our military is so much more ready and prepared for anything that Russia or China or anybody else in the world to deliver why? Because the equipment that the United States has manufactured, Israel is out there applying all that. They've made the F-35, the most incredible flying machine ever, ever invented because they've done it in practice, okay? There is not an ally in this world. If they left us and went over to China or Russia or Iran, and they wanted to join that side, that would cost us more than the state of Israel, we benefit by this partnership. Does it bring along some baggage? It sure does because the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic nation wants to destroy Israel, because Israel's victory is their defeat. It's the same thing we're doing fighting the Democratic Socialist right now. Our capitalistic society and the success we've had in the great wealth of this country was due to the fact that this is how we let business operate, okay? The socialism over there in Europe, it doesn't work. The socialism and the dictatorships that are in the Arab nations, they don't work. And right down the street is this little tiny country Israel with more startups, with more unicorns, AI, cyber security, a salinization plants, irrigation, and there are best friends and there are most loyal partners, somebody that we can count on. Who else can we count on to go to war with us other than the state of Israel? It's in the best interest of our country that we keep a close and friendly relationship with the state of Israel. Coach, I got a run, but that is just eloquently stated, and I say to my listeners, friends of mine, people I meet all the time, and I'm just being straight, this is not about Israel. This is about a war by savages against civilization, merit, democracy, and freedom. It's the same reason China can't have Taiwan next door. People see like, wow, you have freedom and liberty over there, like I want to, it's no different. Remember the line. First we get the Saturday people, then we get the Sunday people. This, I'm sorry to, and I think you know, it's not about, you can make it about Israel all you want, not you, but people have to who are obsessed with this country, the size of New Jersey. I'm telling you, having read the intel for years, it is not, it is a war on civilization. Take the wrong side at your own peril, I just a closing thought. My closing thought is my Sunday people, they're standing with their Saturday people. Yes, they are. And me too. I, as a Saturday person, I'm standing with my Sunday brothers and sisters, God bless America, and I'm Israel high. Bruce, you're the best. I can say that I'm hoping the best for the Auburn Tigers. We covered a lot. NIL college sports, love it, America. Of course, you're welcome back anytime. I'd say past my regards to Steven, but I told them myself this week, and I think the basketball team's going to be a man. I think they're going to be a big shocker this year. I do. I remember this conversation, flag it in the chat. Coach, thanks a lot. Really appreciate it. You too. Thank you, brother. I was coach Bruce Pearl, folks, a really important conversation. Listen, that NIL thing's a big deal. He's not kidding. College sports is a huge economic anchor. They produce our next generation of thinkers. It's not just an issue about a couple of kids playing basketball or women playing volleyball. It's a huge deal. That's why President Trump, thankfully, injected himself into the debate because he is a fixer. Folks, thanks so much for another great week. We really appreciate it.
