Time Text
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
Why are you putting your thumb in the air?
He's got his thumb in the air.
Oh, there's a show today?
Oh, this is live?
Thank you.
Is Joe there?
Yeah, he's seeing which way the wind blows.
Yeah.
We were supposed to be unemployed.
What are you doing here?
Did I stop paying you?
All right, fine.
I'm going.
See you.
The Libs said I was unemployed.
It's so weird.
It's the first day of my unemployment.
You guys better make sure those checks cash.
I think it's all done direct deposit.
Do me a favor, Joe.
Check your bank account if I want to be sure you guys got paid.
Because the liberals said I was fired.
I'm unemployed.
Welcome to my first day of unemployment on this awesome podcast.
Not because of me, but because of you.
I'm glad you like it.
You all blew it up yesterday.
1.55 million views on Rumble Alone for yesterday's show.
That is totally crazy.
Thank you so much.
Of course, I'm joking.
We are obviously not unemployed.
We choose to do a show here.
And you heard that all yesterday, but it's kind of hysterical watching the reaction.
There's some weirdo boiling bunny people on the left, folks.
Some genuine weirdos.
I mean, every side of the political aisle got its freaky-deaky-doos, but the left is like really, really freaky-deaky-do.
Be very careful with them.
I got a big show for you today.
Something big broke about the scam to overturn the 2020 election yesterday.
It's a bigger break than I think even the media, even conservative media is playing on it in some respects, and I'm not sure...
If they've caught on to how big this thing really is.
We're going to get to that.
Also, the New York Times is starting to cover vaccine injuries.
Which is really strange.
Because they played this whole thing down.
And the message it sends to me, that was like a long S there, is not a good one.
A lot of show today.
Today's show brought to you by Birch Gold.
Listen, inflation has consequences.
As the Fed raises interest rates to combat out-of-control government spending, long-term bonds have diminished in value, crippling banks.
Diversification has never been more important.
The recent surge in gold prices shows why gold has historically been a great hedge against the stock market and against inflation.
The only company I trust to help you diversify into gold is Birch Gold Group.
I buy my gold from them.
You can do the same.
Text DAN to 989898 to get a free info kit on gold.
Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401K that's tied to a volatile market into an IRA and physical precious metals, gold and silver.
And the best part?
It's tax-sheltered.
Text DAN to 989898 to claim your free information kit on gold today with an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau and thousands of happy customers.
Birch Gold is who I trust.
I've been a customer many times to protect my future and yours.
Text DAN to 989898 today.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Message and data rates apply.
All right, Joseph, it's Friday, my friend, so let's go.
It's still Friday.
It's still Friday.
And he's still getting paid, Joe.
It's so weird.
How about that?
I was told I was unemployed today.
So bizarre.
I had to show up for work.
Darn it.
Darn I had Friday off.
What happened?
I kid.
I love being with you.
I got questions for Dan coming up at the end of the show, too, but let's get right into it.
So yesterday I read snippets of a piece in Time magazine where the Democrats laid out their plot to overthrow and interfere in the 2020 election.
I can tell you we're interested in the piece.
You know how we had people went to my Bongino dot com slash newsletter.
That's the show notes, the newsletter for the day where we put the links to these stories.
And we got something like 20,000 signups, which is insane.
So much so, my daughter, who works for us and answers a lot of our email, she had to respond back because a couple people got confused.
All you do is go to that page, Bongino.com slash newsletter, click sign up, and they'll come right to your message, right to your email, the every morning, the links.
So my daughter requested I tell you that because she sent that out a couple times yesterday.
A couple people were a little confused how it worked.
So it's real simple.
Just click the sign up button right there.
And we talked about this article, where the Democrats, we talked about it in a different context yesterday.
The context we discussed it yesterday was how the left can't stop flexing their muscles and trying to show you how much they screwed you over, which is really tactically inefficient and dumb.
If you have a secret play that, say, works every 20 or 30 downs for an automatic touchdown, you don't want to give up the secret mechanics of the play unless you have to, and you certainly don't want to telegraph what you're doing, right?
It's secret.
It's secret.
Like, that's the whole thing.
So if you had a secret plot to overthrow the 2020 election, interfere, and it worked exceedingly well, then don't brag about it.
Just shut the room up and just do it again, right?
Not that I'm recommending that.
That's a good idea.
I'm just trying to show you yesterday how, in light of the Dominion case, how the left needs to constantly stick it in your face.
They need to stick it in your face.
Today we're going to talk about it just in terms of tactics.
Because something broke yesterday that's a really kind of shocking development.
I'm surprised this guy came out at this point and is being really candid.
I thought they would wait another 10 years before they admitted what they did.
But first, just a recap of this yesterday's Time article.
The secret history of the shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election.
This is really a shocking reveal.
They talked about their work, this cabal of people, the AFL-CIO, the Chamber of Commerce and leftist groups, how what they were doing to interfere in the 2020 election, quote, touched every aspect of the election, changing voting laws, Zuckerberg's, Lawsuits, armies of poll workers.
They're words, not mine.
Voting by mail.
We talked about that all yesterday.
Pressuring social media companies.
They go on.
Click through the other one.
They go on.
They touch.
There was not a single component of the election they didn't touch.
Oh, that's all right.
That's good enough.
That's fine.
He said, don't you only want this one?
It's good enough.
The next one lays out everything.
They touched everything.
Social media companies, they used disinformation, blah, blah, blah, you know, to silence people.
Now we find out.
Pops last night.
Wait, there's more.
Like it's some kind of an infomercial.
Was that guy Fred or Frank or Fritz or something?
Wait, there's more!
John Solomon's excellent website, him and Nick Gibbous, Ex-top spy now admits that Hunter Biden laptop letter was designed to influence the 2020 election.
Tony Blinken's involved.
Folks, let me tell you something right now, and you know this as well as I do.
If you guys disagree, tell me this right now.
Tony Blinken right now would have a SWAT team, i.e.
Roger Stone-style FBI at his house if Tony Blinken was a Republican.
You're telling me, just so I'm reading this correctly, keep that up there for a second if you would, that the current Secretary of State Was behind a massive disinformation campaign to interfere in an election to cause a geopolitical incident by blaming the Russians for a laptop unquestionably owned by one Hunter Biden?
And he's the Secretary of State right now?
Read this.
A former CIA acting director has admitted to Congress that he organized a letter that falsely portrayed Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation in an effort to influence the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden.
And he did so at the direction of current Secretary of State, Juan Anthony Blinken, according to a letter released by Jim Jordan.
Folks, this is a just monstrous scoop.
Again, imagine Tony Blinken for a second was a Republican that would be an FBI team at his door right now for treason or something like that.
This guy, you know it, is the Secretary of State.
It is no longer a question that they interfered in the 2020 election.
And for everybody out there on the swampy Republican side, I'm interested in winning elections too.
But believe me when I tell you there's a group of people out there, we need to stop talking about 2020. We'll stop talking about 2020 when we get the answers about what happened in 2020, you understand?
Or else they're going to pull the exact same crap in 2024. Believe me, I'm ready to move on and win an election too.
But not at the expense of letting the bad guys get away with bad guy stuff.
Sorry.
Or else they're just going to keep doing bad guy stuff again.
That's how bad guy stuff works.
Now, in case you think this is a small thing, this current Secretary of State orchestrated a major disinformation campaign causing an international incident with the Russians, blaming them for Hunter Biden's laptop, knowing it was real.
Remember, the FBI had the laptop.
And they did this the whole time, and nobody in the media called them out.
Not only did they not call them out, folks, they played along.
Remember when Biden actually cited this BS information in the debate?
Here's a little reminder for you.
By the way, hat tip Greg Price for a couple of these clips.
They're fantastic.
Here, check this out.
There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this he's accusing me of is a Russian plant.
They have said that this is has all the care for five former heads of the CIA. Both parties say what he's saying is a bunch of garbage.
Well, what he was saying wasn't a bunch of garbage.
What he was saying was absolutely 100% accurate.
What you're saying was garbage.
Now, there was an opportunity for the media to do the right thing and do a little bit of an investigation here, and a very simple one.
You would have found out that Hunter Biden dropped off the laptop, signed for the laptop, and had Hunter Biden's emails, Hunter Biden's text messages, pictures of Hunter Biden, and Hunter Biden's business partner said the emails were real.
You would have found all that out.
And they could have done that.
How?
Because the FBI had the damn laptop.
Now again, hat tip, Greg Price.
Here's the Pravda media.
This is how pathetic and disgusting and grotesque our media is.
Just an embarrassment to humankind.
People you can always count on to do one thing lie to you.
They have a 100% success rate of failing at the truth.
They succeed at failing at the truth every single time.
Trust nothing these idiots tell you ever.
I had a corrector reporter this morning at the Washington Post reporting on me leaving Fox yesterday.
She could have done two seconds of research.
You know what she reported, Guy?
That Dan Bongino threatened to leave his podcast last year and didn't follow through.
I did?
Joe, do you remember that?
I was going to say, I don't remember you saying that.
Yeah, I don't either because I didn't.
Oh, you mean radio show and the one we already discussed at length.
You just could have done an internet search.
They had to correct it embarrassingly this morning.
It's how stupid these people are.
Here's the Pravda Media with the big assist causing an international incident.
And now we know, according to Mike Morrell and others, that obviously they knew this thing was BS and Anthony Blinken was behind the entire scheme to get this portrayed as some kind of Russian plot that could have caused World War III if someone would have ran with this thing.
Check this out.
Secret emails.
A really fishy story.
The Post claimed that the emails were found on a laptop computer that was brought to a repair shop in Delaware in the spring of 2019. The FBI is now investigating whether those alleged Hunter Biden emails are actually connected to a larger foreign intelligence operation.
They may be related to a foreign intelligence operation.
Foreign intelligence.
Foreign intelligence operation.
For all we know, these emails are made up.
The information found on the laptop may be part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
Part of a Russian disinformation effort.
Described by many intelligence experts as having hallmarks.
All the hallmarks, rather.
All the hallmarks of a Russian.
Russian disinformation.
Russian disinformation.
Disinformation campaign.
You know, do you guys get this?
There's an angle here I think some people have missed.
And it should really dispositively put an exclamation point at the end of the sentence here with the media.
Who you already know are just malicious clowns.
If you were a real journalist, right?
A real journalist.
You were a non-partisan objective observer of what's going on and reporting facts.
Am I crazy, guys?
Wouldn't you be furious that you put on the air a false premise that this was a Russian disinformation plot, the laptop, and that you got played by Tony Blinken?
Would you not be, like, lighting up your computer right now to emails to the press office at the Secretary of State's office?
Your credibility is shot in the ass!
Thank you.
Come on, dude!
The verdict is in.
Armikost is correct.
Yes!
Yes!
You'd be like, you guys serious?
You swore to us up and down?
This thing was Russian disinformation despite it obviously being Hunter's laptop and we trusted you?
And you left this out there to dry?
This video's out there forever of me claiming false, outright lies on my own show?
Why aren't they lighting up his office?
Because they knew it was BS the whole time.
They're not surprised, nor do they care.
It's a badge of honor that they carried water for the Biden team and helped him get elected by lying to you.
That is the most ridiculous and hilarious thing of this whole thing about the lawsuit with Dominion.
That is, people said that they're like, faux news!
Fox News is fake!
These same people now know they were fed a heaping pile of dog waste about the laptop and they still fail to correct it.
They still don't correct it because they want to be a part of the disinformation campaign.
This isn't an accident.
They love this.
They love it.
They love all...
Joe, they're not mad.
They're elated.
Look, look.
I do this on the radio show.
Remember Tom Hanks, Castaway?
He sets the fire.
Look at what I have created.
They got the Biden rotting bag of oatmeal presidency and the media lied to do it and they're like, look at what we have created.
They think it's awesome.
They think it's awesome.
Mary Ann says they did it in stereo disinformation.
I love the live chat.
You guys tripped me out.
It's like taking phone calls during a radio show.
It's the best part of a live show.
So now we have to ask ourselves, because I got the vaccine to get to.
There's a reason the New York Times is starting to report about vaccine injuries, folks.
And it's fairly obvious when you look at the headline and what's going on.
You guys, again, were way ahead of the story on this.
Because you're smart conservatives while the media has been lying to you.
Again, the media aren't dumb.
Well, some of them are.
Journalism majors, some of them are really stupid.
But they're malicious.
They're malicious and dumb.
There's a big difference.
So why are the insiders and everybody leaking out information now, okay?
Why did Mike Morrell, these intelligence insiders...
Gosh, I'm a little too excited about today's show.
I gotta take a breath.
Calm down and get this out the right way.
Too emotional about this topic.
Ladies and gentlemen, nothing you see emanating from the left-wing media that does damage to a Democrat Is done out of journalism.
It's done because there's some hidden agenda.
You understand that?
The left will do nothing to damage the liberal cause unless there's a greater liberal cause to defend.
Am I making sense?
If I'm not, you guys got to stop me, okay?
You got to learn to analyze these people.
So there's a very distinct pattern of things that happened in the last few days.
A leak came out, which I'll play for you in a second, short video.
That FBI agents are frustrated with the progress of the Hunter Biden investigation.
Wow, that just popped in the last few weeks?
Interesting.
Hold that thought.
All of a sudden, an IRS whistleblower, supervisory special agent, comes out and says, Hey, I've got information that they're not prosecuting Hunter Biden like they would prosecute anyone else because of political favoritism.
Hmm, that's interesting.
That's a twofer.
And then number three.
This intelligence guy, Morrell, and these others are coming out now and saying, hey, we got suckered into this whole thing, this letter, 51 intelligence officials letter.
We got suckered into it by the current Secretary of State, Tony Blinken.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you think all of that's an accident and the media just randomly all of a sudden, what's the date?
The 21st?
All of a sudden found journalism?
I'm really sorry, but I got a bridge over in Palm City, Florida.
I will sell you on the stupid cheap right now.
This is being done for a reason.
Intelligence officials now leaking.
Then you got this.
Play this video.
It's a short one.
Here's, again, another leak.
Just all of a sudden, all at the same time.
Intelligence officials, FBI. Here's the FBI. Someone leaked out, hey, we're getting really frustrated with the progress of the investigation.
Oh, really?
It's been an investigation for like four years.
Check this out.
Two senior law enforcement officials describing to NBC News growing frustration inside the FBI because federal investigators finished the bulk of their work about a year ago and suspect political interference is delaying the process.
There it is, Joe.
There it is.
There's a political interference narrative that you, me, and Guy knew about four years ago.
They just acknowledge the investigation's a year old, but all of a sudden, everybody's coming out at the same time.
What a major coinkydink that is.
So weird.
FBI, intel officials.
Here's another one.
You had an IRS whistleblower.
This has gotten so bad for the Biden family that Hunter Biden's lawyer is now actually threatening the whistleblower with crimes.
I wouldn't be surprised if the DOJ tries to lock this guy up.
Here, listen to coverage on this.
Check this out.
The attorney for Hunter Biden says the agent is committing a crime by discussing an ongoing tax investigation in an attempt to harm the president's son.
But the whistleblower's attorney just told me such claims are baseless.
There's someone in the live chat, you see, Nicky, called Holden McGroin.
Holden's not McGroin.
Holden McGroin says...
Holden McGroin says, there's a rotting bag of oatmeal.
Yes, you're correct.
Now you have to ask yourself, Holden McGroin.
You have to ask yourself a very simple question.
Why?
Holden McGroin.
That's good.
I like that.
That's very good.
Holden, you're welcome here.
Holden, we got Sean Farris in there too?
The guy's the king, man.
The king of Donald Trump impressions.
We love him.
Sean, always welcome on my show every day.
Love him.
King.
King.
And welcome Holden McGroin too.
You have to ask yourself why?
Why is all this happening?
I had to take a quick break.
It's a simple answer.
I'm going to move on to the New York Times story.
Thank you for your patience.
Always appreciate it.
I'll answer the question for you.
It's not hard to figure out.
You just got to look at what's in front of you and learn to read the tea leaves.
It's a Rosetta Stone.
Brickhouse Nutrition, my favorite company, my first sponsor.
Miles over there is a fantastic guy.
Folks, I'm just going to, you know, they obviously send over some stuff for you to read, but I've been with this company a long time.
I don't really need it.
I had a big role in this product, and I'll tell you why.
A couple years back, well, more than a couple years, I was running for office, and Joe and I were still doing the podcast.
Remember that, Joe?
I couldn't take any sponsors.
It was just weird.
We were doing it at weird times.
It was just really difficult, but I didn't want to give up the podcast.
Bottom line, my schedule is horrible.
So I called Miles.
I said, I'm eating garbage food.
I was eating out of 7-Elevens because you're knocking on doors.
I said, Miles, there's really not a good fruit and vegetable powder out there that uses healthy, wholesome fruits and vegetables.
There weren't.
There was a lot of extract.
You can go, look.
A lot of junky stuff.
You don't really know how it was processed.
I said, can you do me a favor?
Can you consider making a product, fruits and vegetables, that's good, that tastes good, but uses really healthy, wholesome vegetables in the best blend out there?
And that's what he did.
And it's backed by a Better Health Promise.
It's called Field of Greens.
It's right here.
I live by this stuff.
I take it twice a day.
It's a science-backed formula of specific fruits and vegetables you're not going to find in any other product.
We all know the benefits of proper nutrition.
I take it twice a day.
But give it a try.
Your best proof will be at your next checkup.
Clean up your diet.
Try to get on a field of greens.
When I bet your doctor says, whatever you're doing, it's working.

It is a fantastic supplement.
My highest recommendation.
You have my word on that.
But you just had it this more so than I. I had it in green tea.
I had the wild berry.
I threw a little extra cranberry in there, too.
It was good.
So, why are they doing this?
Why are all of these seemingly unconnected events happening at the same time where, quote, insiders and the media are now outing stories about Hunter Biden being in a world of trouble and Joe Biden?
Well, the reason is obvious.
And you guys are good at this.
You can read the tea leaves as good as I can.
You're smart.
The Hill, April 20th, which I believe was yesterday, when all this stuff popped out.
Biden reportedly prepping for 2024 announcement next week.
Joe, what a coincidence.
That's so crazy.
That's so weird.
Weird, right?
So strange.
So what happened here?
Now, what happened is fairly obvious.
Biden said he was going to announce, and then this happened.
You've seen this Fox News article.
RFK Jr., Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said he was going to run against Biden in the primary.
Now, with a popular president, I mean, imagine somebody primarying Trump in 2020. In 2020, it would have been laughable.
It would have got the standard, like, 3-4% of the vote, and most of that's from people who switch over from the Democrat Party to do, like, an Operation Chaos thing, right?
That's what would have happened.
It would have been a joke.
No one would have taken him seriously.
It probably wouldn't have even been a debate because he wouldn't have raised any money.
So it's kind of strange that the Democrats keep telling us how wonderful Joe Biden is.
RFK jumps in, Biden preps an announcement, and RFK Jr. is at 14-15%.
He hasn't even done anything.
All he did was jump in.
They note Fox that RFK Jr. grabbed a chunk of Biden's voters upon launching his campaign.
He didn't even do anything yet.
You're starting to see the writing on the wall now.
It's obvious.
The Democrats, i.e.
the media, it's the same thing.
I just said the same thing twice.
They're really genuinely concerned, ladies and gentlemen, that Biden will get destroyed by whoever he runs against, either Trump or DeSantis.
And I want you to remember one thing.
What is one of the golden rules of the show?
What is every single thing in the swamp viewed through the lens of?
How does this hurt Trump?
The people in the swamp are insane.
They hate Trump.
It has blinded them to tactics and everything else.
They don't think Biden can win again over Trump.
So they need to get Biden out.
They don't know who it's going to be.
At this point, I think they'd rather take RFK Jr. They have no idea.
But they want Biden out.
This intel leak yesterday, the FBI leak, the IRS leak, this is not an accident.
You're a fool if you believe that's an accident.
They are trying to push this guy out.
The media is reporting on it because they quietly know that they've got about a one or two month window after this guy's announcement next week to get him to change his mind.
And here's what I'm hearing.
One more note on this.
Sorry guys, this may be too much election coverage.
If it is, let me know in the live chat.
Don't get dead.
That's another one.
What I'm hearing is Biden wants to run.
Nobody else wants him to run because Biden thinks he's the only guy who can beat Trump, but he thinks Trump is going to get the nod.
That's what Biden thinks.
He probably thinks it fairly enough.
He probably thinks he won last time.
Oh, I'll beat him again, right?
What I'm hearing is he's going to get in there and then maybe do six months or a year and then just basically resign and let Kamala, whoever's VP, take over.
How reliable is it?
I don't know.
I mean, it's information that comes from Democrats, so the dipsy-doo-flipperoo, who knows?
All right, that was not an accident, that story.
But remember, these two stories are connected, even though we're about different things.
You have to remember, there is always a hidden agenda.
The media is reporting on Biden for a reason.
We just exposed it.
I believe they're trying to get him out of the race.
But there's always a hidden agenda when the New York Times and others start reporting on things that go counter to a narrative they've been shoving down your throat for the last two years, which is, take the vaccine.
It's so awesome.
It's almost risk-free.
It's a net positive.
Everybody gets it.
Kids gets like Oprah with the...
You get a car.
You get a car.
You know, young children should take it.
Everybody should take it.
Really?
Young children really at risk of COVID? It's very rare.
Take the vaccine anyway.
Science is so far off the reservation, you can't even see it anymore in the flat plain.
It's that far gone, okay?
It is over the horizon.
So what's going on with this piece?
I saw this yesterday and I was like, what?
New York Times, British man died of rare blood syndrome linked to AstraZeneca's vaccine.
Now, they note in the article, because we should read it all and act like I'm hiding anything from you, that one expert said the blood clotting syndrome was estimated to occur in 1 in 50,000 people under 40 and 1 in 100,000 over 40 who receive AstraZeneca's vaccine.
It's an article by Michael Levinson.
I included this in the newsletter today.
I included it because even though it's the New York Times and I hate giving them clicks, you should read it.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
It tries to play it down, the thread of this.
So let me get to the, not to bury the lead here.
You said there's a hidden agenda, an agenda for the leaks, an agenda for them reporting on the vaccine.
There is.
I believe the media is starting to panic a little bit.
They're starting to realize that over the chronological effects of time, that they're going to start to see more of this.
And I believe the science community, if you know what I mean, folks, with air quotes, the political, it's called the political science community, it tends to be scientists, the Fauci's of the world.
They understand that the Fauci's of the world have been misleading them about the dangers from the vaccine, the media.
So what they're doing is, Joe, this is the drip, drip, drip.
They're going to start dripping out stories.
First, it's going to be like, watch, watch.
Joe, you haven't done a flag in a while.
No.
Yeah, 11-28, April 20. Flag it, please.
Flag it!
Flag it, guys!
Now, this one, I'm sure, we will be able to unflag in the next few months, okay?
Watch the stories.
The Washington Post and the New York Times clearly know now they undersold the dangers of this vaccine to people.
Now the problem with the vaccine, unlike the Russia collusion thing where they can just pretend it didn't happen.
Why can they pretend it didn't happen?
Because honestly, you don't know Vladimir Putin.
So the lefties will be like, well, I don't know.
Someone said it.
It was the PP tape was real.
I haven't really seen it, but it's probably out there.
You get what I'm saying?
It's hard to disprove.
Does that make sense?
What's the problem with telling people the vaccine is safe?
For everyone and making it out like it's universally to be accepted when it may have some complications.
What's the problem?
The problem is when people get sick, they know.
How do they know, Joe?
Because it's them.
That's why.
So I think what they're afraid of going forward is people are going to start coming.
And I'm not saying it's going to be some mass thing.
I do believe, hopefully, hopefully, That this may be limited in scope, depending on what shots you got, when you got them, was the batch good, was it not?
But over time, as more people get sick, the Washington Post's very credibility is going to be on the line as people say, you know what?
I was told by you guys this thing was cool.
It's not like collusion where they can still pretend it's real even when it isn't.
It's you.
The passage of time is going to make this worse and worse as more people become witnesses.
There's always an agenda.
So flag it.
You're going to see these stories first.
I should have tied that up.
I'm going to get to the next story.
Flag it!
You already flagged it.
You double flagged it.
Here's what's going to happen.
You're going to see stories about, oh, here's a vaccine side effect, like you're seeing in this one.
But very rare.
And then you're going to see stories coming out like, ah, vaccine side effects.
Ah, rare, but becoming common.
Then you're going to see stories like, oh my gosh, did we screw up with this vaccine?
Watch it.
Watch with absolute certainty.
They are going to have to flip the script.
Absolute certainty.
I'm sure of it.
Because you can't hide that.
Okay, let me get to my next sponsor.
But coming up next.
Did you see this ad?
There's this watch company.
Engard or Engard?
I'm telling you, we are starting to flip the script.
On the culture wars.
Companies, not a lot, but you don't need a lot.
Remember the show, Joe, we did about dancing?
It's not the first guy who gets up and dances.
It's the first guy to join them.
There are companies now, after the Bud Light debacle, piling into this anti-woke thing.
And I'm telling you, we are on the verge of a cultural revolution in corporate America.
You got to see this ad.
One of the best ads I've ever seen.
It's from this watch company.
And it is the absolute opposite.
Of a woke ad that was viewed millions of times.
There is a whole market of Americans out there ready to give the middle finger to woke America.
Speaking of which...
I always love to smell this stuff.
It smells good, doesn't it?
Blackout coffee!
Punch this stuff.
You can drink it, punch it.
This is badass coffee.
This coffee isn't for wusses.
You want wuss coffee?
Go to a different coffee company.
You want badass coffee that bleeds red, white, and blue?
You want an owner of this company?
All he cares about is America?
Blackout.
I'm not kidding.
I know this guy.
The good dude, man.
Blackout coffee.
It's what I drink.
It's why I'm all amped up today.
It's a coffee company 100% committed to conservative values.
They give exactly zero Fs about liberal bull stuff.
That's not in the script, Guy?
You sure?
Joe, Guy says, you can read that.
Is that in the script, Joe?
Joe says, no, no, that's not in the script either.
It's my script!
See, folks, I even like to improv ads.
From sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support or shipping, Blackout Coffee is an amazing work ethic and they're dedicated to promoting conservative principles.
They accept no compromise or taste or quality.
Please, do me a favor.
Go to their website, blackoutcoffee.com slash Bongino, and use coupon code Bongino, B-O-N-G-I-N-O, for 20% off your first order.
Ditch those other clowns.
Blackout Coffee remains true to our values, and the coffee's great, folks.
I don't drink.
I have a Colombian wife.
I'm not going to drink bad coffee.
Forget it.
The coffee's amazing.
That's blackoutcoffee.com slash Bongino, or you can use coupon code Bongino for 20% off your first order.
Support these guys.
You're going to love their coffee, too.
He's funny.
Joe and Guy have to put all this stuff together, the elements.
So Guy spends all this time cutting the ads for the screen and making sure the word count is right.
And then I never read them as is.
I just basically do what I want.
What the hell am I doing here, man?
They said he's going to join the liberals and say, show's over.
You're fired.
You're unemployed now.
He's getting tired of doing all his work for nothing.
I'm still laughing about Holden McGroin.
Holden McGroin.
Is he there?
Holden, you still there, buddy?
Holden, post something in the chat here.
We gotta see Holden McGroin if he's back here.
I don't see him.
I got Dan the drummer.
Holden McGroin, you there?
Guy put that out.
Guy's looking for Holden McGroin.
This is hilarious.

You can check it out every day.
It's a lot of fun.
I'm having a blast with you guys, so thank you.
Okay, so...
The culture wars are starting to shift.
I'm seeing it.
There's a tectonic movement underneath your feet right now.
The Bud Light thing, a lot of people think the Bud Light incident with the transgender influencer was the road to Damascus moment.
I got to tell you, folks, I slightly disagree.
I don't think they were the first person to dance.
I think they were the second.
I think the first person to dance was DeSantis.
I think DeSantis taken on Disney and the massive fallout from Disney, where I'm telling you down here in Florida, it's not a conservative I know in Florida, that people who love Disney, who would ever go back or buy their products, I really do think that was the first dancing moment.
There were a couple people who almost got up and danced or danced but didn't dance long enough.
We should have had that video today, man.
That's such a good video.
Darn it.
It's only good for the podcast.
Can't play it on radio.
It's a video of a guy getting up and dancing at a festival and then hundreds of people join him.
Yeah, cool.
If you can get it, we'll throw it up.
Maybe in a clip or something.
But, folks, this is the deal.
I really believe that the Santa's Disney fight was the watershed moment.
The Bud Light spillover Was the second person to get up and dance.
And I think now companies are just like, we're in.
We're in.
The House yesterday passed a fairness in women's sports bill, which will prevent men from competing unfairly in women's sports.
Something that would have been openly laughed at just a few years ago.
It's the insanity of it.
It's the insanity of a physically dominant male spiking a volleyball in someone's face who's a female and busting their face wide open or fighting in a UFC match and nearly killing someone.
The very idea is insanity.
So the last people...
Who are the last people always, guys, to get it when the culture war starts to shift?
The answer is politicians on Capitol Hill because they're all followers and not leaders.
They're like little lemmings.
Not all of them, but most of them.
So when they're passing this bill, that says to me that you, you led the way.
Oh, you have it?
Oh yeah, here, play that dance.
This is pretty cool.
The leader is the flint.
The first follower is the spark that really makes the fire.
Now here's the second follower.
This is a turning point.
It's proof the first has done well.
Now it's not a lone nut and it's not two nuts.
Three is a crowd and a crowd is news.
A movement must be public.
Make sure outsiders see more than just the leader.
Everyone needs to see the followers because new followers emulate followers, not the leader.
Now here come two more people, then three more immediately.
Now we've got momentum.
This is the tipping point and now we have a movement.
As more people jump in, it's no longer risky.
Folks, that's it.
It's the second person who jumps in.
You see, that video is used all across the world in, like, TED Talks and training videos and the intelligence community uses it.
It's not just...
It's not the first person.
It's the second person to join that starts a movement.
And that's what's going on.
And the last people to join to get up in that dance are always going to be the followers who don't want to lead.
That's Congress.
So the fact that they passed this bill says to me that this is a big, huge moment.
Here, I want you to watch this video without any further delay.
It's a watch company.
This is an actual spot they put out.
And the thing just went...
I never heard of this company before yesterday.
It went nuclear.
This is an amazing ad.
It's about a minute and ten seconds.
Check this out.
I had this dream that seemed so impossible.
I was gonna be the fastest runner in the world.
I got this little nugget of an idea from my dad.
He used to watch me run and say, ain't no woman alive that can beat you.
And I believed him.
He made me feel invincible.
It wasn't easy.
I trained hard, harder than anyone else I know.
But I was made for this.
I was an unstoppable force.
a life dedicated to perfection.
But even perfection wouldn't be enough.
*music* Gee loves this show.
So do I. By the way, Phil Hudson, 1776, says, Trump McGroin 2024. There it is.
There it is.
We've nailed it down.
We've nailed it.
Thank you, Phil.
That's a great suggestion.
Folks, that's it, man.
That's a balls-to-the-wall ad, pun intended.
There you go right there.
That's a spot.
Things are changing.
They're not going to change fast.
Don't get impatient.
I don't mean to sound that in a professorial kind of a-hole way.
I mean it with the greatest of respect for you, the audience.
You're the ones leading this movement.
Remember what my friend Ginny Thomas says all the time.
Her line, it's the greatest line ever.
She says, you're the leaders we've been waiting for.
Don't wait for someone else.
Step up and do something.
Volunteer.
Run for office.
Donate some money to a campaign.
Start a cause.
A conservative cause.
Join a conservative group.
You're the leaders we've been waiting for.
Don't wait for others.
This movement is out there.
People are piling in and it's due to you.
But please don't be impatient.
It's not going to shift overnight.
There's still going to be setbacks.
We're going to make it to the next train station and the train's going to stall.
Maybe it goes back a little bit.
Then it makes two stops at the next two stations.
That Freedom Train is eventually going to get moving again.
And it's happening right now.
Smile a little bit on a Friday.
This is not some kind of, again, faux optimism.
Oh, let's put lipstick on this pig.
No.
Stuff is happening.
On the firearms front, constitutional carry rules.
Things are happening.
The pro-life agenda.
We have a six-week ban now.
We finally have the Republicans fighting back against Biden, against this government shutdown Biden wants.
Things are happening.
There's going to be minor setbacks, but things are happening.
Now, I'm going to tell you something here.
More things are going to happen, too.
I'm going to get to this in a second.
Because there is...
I hate to launch another golden rule, because then they're not really golden, you know, Joe?
You can't have golden rules and everything's gold, or else nothing's gold.
But maybe this is a silver rule, if we have that.
Maybe we'll start a new category.
That'll work, yeah.
Yeah, thank you.
I learned a lot running for office, and I learned a lot in losing.
I mean, I did.
Ran for office, lost...
But I think you learn a lot more in life from your failures than you do from your successes.
I mean, I wrote a book about it.
Because I learned a lot from mine.
And one of the things I learned about politics, Joe, you've interviewed a lot of politicians, man.
There are three things you do not toy with in politics.
Because let me tell you something.
People will throw you down a ditch, a political ditch, so fast that they don't care if you've got a D or an R in front of your name.
Don't mess with their kids.
Don't mess with their houses.
Don't mess with their gas tanks.
You start screwing around with those three things.
You are going to see a 49-state landslide.
And the Democrats are doing it all.
The CRT with the kids.
The anti-fossil fuel agenda is going to keep gas prices high.
And I told you yesterday about this home mortgage thing where you're going to be paying off your neighbor's loan because he has a crappy credit rating now.
Oh, there's another one coming.
Oh, there is?
Oh, yeah.
We got another spot here, right?
Yeah, let me get to my last spot first.
He's all nervous now because I don't read his spots anymore.
He's like, what's the point?
Just do it your way, bro.
Just do it your way.
Prepare today.
The world's a really messed up place right now.
Go to MyPatriotSupply.com.

MyPatriotSupply.com.
That's MyPatriotSupply.com.
Okay.
Just following up.
Yesterday I told you they want you to pay off now.
There's a new rule that they're going to subsidize people with bad credit ratings, mortgages, and there's going to be a fee on your mortgage if you've got a good credit rating to pay for them.
Oh, really?
This started to make it mainstream yesterday after we covered it on our show, which I thought was interesting.
A friend of mine sent me that article, by the way, and all of a sudden I see it all over the news.
I'm not saying I started it.
I'm saying what?
Everybody knows what I know in the media business.
I've been on TV, radio, and podcasts.
And I can tell you what, good producers are smart.
And they know the golden rule or the silver rule in this case, which is what, Joe?
Don't mess with people's kids.
Don't mess with their homes.
And do not mess with their gas tanks.
Those stories always rate because people get really pissed off.
So that story went nuclear.
You're going to pay your neighbor's mortgage now.
Well, not only are you going to pay his mortgage, you're also going to pay taxes to make sure they screw up your neighborhood too.
You see this piece in the Wall Street Journal?
The AFFH rule is back.
Joe remembers this one.
Affirmatively furthering fair housing.
What is this rule?
Oh, you remember this one?
We talked about this in my old Palm City studio.
Here it is.
It's back.
The Biden administration resurrecting an Obama-era rule that says if they don't like the racial breakdown of your neighborhood, you're going to stick some high-rises and low-income housing in there.
Got to balance it out, you know?
Oh, you do.
That's interesting because, Joe, call me crazy, but last time I checked, it was still illegal to discriminate on housing based on race, right?
Yeah, I thought so.
Nothing changed.
Good thing, right?
We don't want people, you don't want a guy coming in who's black or Hispanic and discriminated against.
That'd be pretty evil, right?
Not just awful, it's pretty evil, right?
No, he's not a fan either.
He says that's probably a bad idea, and that's definitely illegal.
So if it's already illegal, then what's the point of this?
The answer is there's nothing to do with the racial breakdown of a neighborhood.
It has everything to do with social engineering and the fact that the left doesn't like it, that people can succeed and have motivation to buy a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood with better schools because they hate merit.
So they want to make sure every neighborhood is equally awful.
That's exactly what this is.
And that's coming next, too.
You live in a nice $500,000 neighborhood.
After, like me, you grew up in an apartment on Myrtle Avenue with rats and roaches your whole life.
Good luck.
They want to bring all low-income housing into that neighborhood, too, to make sure, again, they screw up everything everywhere.
Read the article yourself.
It's called Socially Engineering the Suburb.
It's from yesterday.
It's right there at the Wall Street Journal.
Or just put in a search engine, AFFH, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.
You can look at it yourself.
The whole point of communism.
Everybody have an equally garbage situation.
Folks, this is all going to turn on them.
I'm telling you, Democrats are treading in dangerous territory.
Don't mess with people's kids, their homes, or their gas tanks.
And this culture war stuff is starting to turn.
I want you to watch even this army, this military official, high-ranking military official.
He's up at a Capitol Hill hearing with Matt Gaetz, Republican congressman.
He's a firestorm to this guy.
And Gates is like, listen, you guys want co-ed showers in the military?
Is that going to be some big recruiting pitch?
Hey, come on in.
You get to shower with dudes.
And watch the...
This is classic.
Watch the response.
Check this out.
I'm concerned that this weird stuff that you guys are doing is not going to make it more likely that those people are going to sign up.
General McConville, you and I spoke yesterday about the fact that the Army has to recruit extensively Men from the American South, that that makes up a wide variety of who's coming into the United States Army.
You think you're going to recruit more of them with this kind of stuff?
Probably not.
And that's the point.
I was writing a note here.
He says unemployment's really firing me up, Joe.
It's terrible.
Unemployment.
I'm so upset.
I'm so unemployed.
I'm fired up today.
No job.
What am I going to do with myself?
Really awful.
All right.
Alright, he says let's go.
I'm just going to do questions for Dan.
There's some good questions this week.
Which is weird because I forgot to mention the questions yesterday.
I mentioned it on the radio show.
So I thought we'd get a terrible group of questions, but they're really awesome.
But I'm really starting to incorporate...
Don't worry, not too much.
But a couple of these lifestyle stories into the show because I like them.
And when I do, it's typically about things like health and working out.
It's a great article.
It's in the newsletter today.
Again, Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Sorry to keep mentioning it, but we get a lot of questions.
What's the website again?
T Nation's a great website.
It's for pretty hardcore lifters, but they have stuff for everyone there.
There's an article here.
It's called The New Science of Long-Term Gains.
You don't have to read the whole thing.
The author, Andrew Hemming, makes a really amazing point in this thing.
He talks about maintenance cycles.
In other words, there's this thing with people who lift, like me, and we get obsessed sometimes.
You've got to crush it every day.
He's a CrossFitter, too.
You get this, too.
You've got to crush it every day, or you're going to shrink and wither away, and you're going to look terrible like Popeye before his spinach.
Right?
It eats at you.
It's a mental thing.
It's not a real thing.
Read this article.
They found out that, say you're going through a stressful time in your life.
You just had a newborn.
You're at a new job.
You're running for office.
You can't find any time to work out.
You would be stunned how little you have to do once you build that base.
Once you put in the work, a couple years of working out, you'll be stunned how little you have to do to just look the same.
They found that younger lifters could maintain muscle strength and size with one workout a week.
Doing only one hard set per exercise.
And they could maintain it for up to 32 weeks.
Drop the volume.
Drop the frequency.
Everything.
Show up once a week.
One workout.
Bench.
Chin up.
Squat.
Deadlift.
Curl.
Tricep.
That's it.
You're good.
And they could maintain it for up to 32 weeks.
Now obviously you don't want to eat like a slob the whole time too, but...
Don't get like me and get crazy in your old age where you gotta destroy your body every single day.
You don't.
Sometimes just ride it out for a couple weeks.
Take a breather.
But it goes to show you, once you put in the work and build that base, you don't need a lot to maintain it.
Great piece in my newsletter.
Check it out.
You can read the whole thing.
The evidence is absolutely solid.
Time for questions for Dan.
At DH83... Hey Dan, are you working on any other projects now that you have more time since you won't be doing Unfiltered anymore?
I am!
We will be making a ton of announcements.
We will be making them here first on Rumble at rumble.com slash Bongino and I highly recommend subscribing on my Locals if you would.
The Locals app, Locals Common Spelling.
I'm at the Bongino there.
We have special material we put out there, but there will be some stuff coming there soon, too.
So don't miss out.
Hey, Dan, you think Fox News should have settled with Dominion, Jas Verde 17?
I don't, but honestly, sir or ma'am, I'm not sure by the name.
It's not for me to say because I wasn't privy to what Dominion had or what Fox News had.
So I personally know.
I don't think so.
I think it sets a precedent.
But I'm saying that that is pure speculation.
I have no idea what each party had on that.
But it's a fair question.
Since 76, girl.
Hey, Dan, are you still going to stay on the radio even though you're now off of Fox?
My radio contract is up a year from now.
I've already publicly told you I'm not...
I mean, Cumulus, that's not going to work out.
But am I going to stay on radio?
I like radio.
I'm considering it.
We'll see what happens with that.
I would definitely keep you updated.
That's a long way away.
So...
Hey, Dan, who's your favorite founding father, MKJ80? George Washington.
I know it's kind of a standard cherry tree answer, but, you know, the fact that Washington relinquished power, when he didn't have to, there were no term limits.
And the king of England said, if this is true, he's surely the greatest man who ever lived.
It's just amazing how he set that precedent early and set the country on the right path.
Just an incredible, incredible human being.
You're a Madison guy?
Well, his writing was pretty genius.
I gotta agree with you.
I can't dispute that.
He definitely wasn't substandard.
No doubt about that.
Hey Dan, when practicing range shooting with a pistol, single tap or double at Maverick 406?
I practice everything.
Single taps, double taps, strong side, weak side, kneeling, standing, barricade, braced.
I practice it all.
One hand, close quarters.
I don't like to get into one fixed action pattern.
You know, bang, bang.
I don't like to, because there may be a different scenario.
There may be a difference.
You may see body armor.
We want to go for the head right away.
So, you know, I practice everything.
But good question.
Hey, Dan, Lothar Hill, with all that seems to be going on, if you could only have one investigation, who and what would you choose and why?
Listen, man, the Hunter Biden case is the source of everything.
If you read my book, Follow the Money, I don't have time to go in it now.
What Hunter Biden was up to in Ukraine is the genesis of the collusion and impeachment hoax.
They were trying to cover up people making money in Ukraine, including Hunter Biden.
And Trump knew about it.
The Hunter Biden case is bigger than Hunter Biden.
I have my book.
Follow the money.
Buy it.
Get it from the library.
I mean, we make peanuts off it.
It doesn't really matter to me.
Borrow it from a friend.
But there's a chapter called Insane in Ukraine.
You'll see that the Ukraine piggy bank is the single biggest political scandal in modern American history.
And Hunter's tied to the whole thing.
At FJB now or soon.
Hey, Dan, are we going to make it to 2024?
Yeah, we are.
I'm long in the United States.
We're going to be fine.
Going to be some rough times ahead.
I'm not telling you we're not going to trip over some stuff, but we'll be okay.
Yes, we will definitely make it to 2024 and beyond.
Is that the last one?
Man, I motored through those fast, a little quicker than I expected.
Folks, thank you so much for tuning in.
I appreciate it.
I usually end this by telling you to tune into my show this week, but there isn't one on Fox.
So I just could discuss that yesterday if you want to listen to all of that.
I don't want to go into that again.
We're not going to be talking about that much going forward.
But I assure you, one last time, whatever conspiracy theories you're hearing are nonsense.
I had some really wonderful conversations yesterday with Fox people.
Don't buy any of the BS. It was no firings, acrimony.
It was just simply, I have a lot going on.
I have kids, a wife.
I can't have 25 jobs right now.
Maybe back in the future.
We'll see.
And thank you.
