Time Text
Thank you.
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.
So folks, today is a crazy day for me.
This is my 50th anniversary of being born.
50 spins around the sun.
On this rock we call Earth.
And listen, I just want to say to you guys before we get started today, the Bongino Army out there.
That's why I'm rocking the Bongino Army shirt, man.
I really love you guys a lot.
The most touching kind of tweet I think I ever got on time is someone said, no one thanks their audience more than Dan Bongino.
I'm not sure that's true or not.
I haven't kept the thank you counter.
And I'm sure Levin and others love their audiences too.
But I can tell you right now, no one loves their audience more than I love you guys.
No, you may love them as much, but my heart is full.
And I feel like I've lived a thousand lifetimes between government service, NYPD, and running for office, and being an investor and stuff.
But...
Man, I gotta tell you, having all of you here with me every single day, you've enriched my life so much.
And I woke up this morning so genuinely grateful for every one of you.
I was trying to read as many messages as I can on Twitter.
I think, like, happy birthday, Dan.
Justin sent me something this morning.
It was, like, top five on X. So thank you all so much.
But we do have a lot of stuff to deal with today, a lot, including a friend of mine who is a patriot, a man who has served this country with honor and dignity and valor, who is under attack, and birthdays are cute and all, and I love it and I appreciate it, but the country's more important than any of this.
And we're under attack again as well.
So I got a lot to get to.
Beam Cyber Monday sale has been extended exclusively for Bongino listeners.
Head on over to shopbeam.com slash Bongino.
Use code Bongino.
Get a good night's sleep.
Today's show also brought to you by Birch Gold.
Open an IRA in gold with Birch Gold.
You can get free silver shipped directly to your home.
That's right.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
The only time of the year that Birch Gold gives away a free one-ounce Silver Eagle for every $5,000 purchase.
And here's the best part.
You don't have to pay a penny out of pocket.
Simply convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA and physical gold, and Birch Gold will send you a free silver coin directly to your home.
Now, you may be thinking, why do you need to diversify into gold?
My guy's headed to DC. Things are good.
Well, here's the facts.
An administration trying to reverse a $35 trillion national debt in just four years, like a field mouse trying to stop a freight train.
It's tough.
Can't even afford to pay the interest on the debt, let alone the principal.
So take action now.
Text DAN to 989898 before December 18th for a free info kit on gold and to claim your eligibility for free silver on qualifying purchases from Birch Gold.
Do this before December 18th.
And again, text DAN to the number 989898 for peace of mind that lasts longer than four years.
Message and data rates apply.
All right, fellas, let's go!
I gotta wish a happy birthday to someone, too.
My nephew, Joey, who I love to death.
It is his birthday today, too.
We were born on the same day.
And Paula's birthday is the same day as my father.
So it's easy to remember a lot of this stuff.
Folks, they are trying to...
What is that?
Oh, trends.
Look at that.
Happy birthday, Dan.
You guys are awesome, man.
Really, I love you guys so much.
They are trying to Kavanaugh, my friend Pete Hegseth.
Look at that chat.
Come on, you guys are going to get me all choked up.
You know I'm a big wuss.
You know I'm a big wuss.
Besides, the New York Times guy is watching our show today.
New York Times, right?
He reached out, he watches our show every day.
So welcome, Stuart.
It's good to see you.
Apparently he's been analyzing our show.
And I'll show you the email in a little bit, but did you guys read it?
No.
Apparently he's been watching our show and applied some rigorous analysis and is like, this amount of time you shit on the media.
Well, that's a shame.
We need to shit on the media more.
We haven't done enough.
We'll throw up that little chart in a little bit, but guys, we're not shitting on the media enough on this show.
Damn it!
Thank you, Stuart, for keeping us frosty.
You guys are great.
They are trying to Kavanaugh, Pete Hegseth.
Folks, serious time.
We are not letting this happen.
Folks, this is the hill to die on.
They Kavanaugh, Pete Hegseth, and folks, the swamps are ready one.
They're doing it again.
Your boy Dan here does not let you down.
I told you if we capitulated on Gates, they were simply going to move to someone else.
It's not we, us.
It's these Republican rhino phony frauds.
And what happened?
They are doing it again.
There is a concerted effort behind the scenes by a bunch of Republicans.
Remember, we don't need the Democrats.
We have 53 Republicans in the new Senate.
We don't need the Democrats.
Matter of fact, we can have three Republicans who are fake, like Murkowski, who's a garbage person.
Susan Collins in Maine, you get what you get, whatever.
I don't expect anything from her, and you're never going to get it anyway.
And then you can throw in this guy from Utah, this other one who looks like a total loser, and you still, J.D. Vance is the tying vote.
And the Republican Party, the Swampies, that will vote for any shitbird Democrat you put up there.
Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Javier Baccaria, as Joe Biden calls him, the black guy, Secretary of Defense.
Some of you will get that.
That's not me, folks.
Biden doesn't know his name.
What is he calling Stuart?
Stuart's like, oh my gosh!
Stuart, wake the fuck up!
Go look at the video!
The show's dedicated to Stuart today from the New York Times.
Stuart, don't ever email us.
You're going to become part of the show immediately.
How much respect, guys, do we have for the New York Times?
Absolutely zero.
Zero.
I have zero respect.
Avita can send me a post from a 12-year-old writing a blog about the Auburn Tigers.
I trust that cat more than I trust the New York Times.
Whatever the New York Times says, I assume the opposite is true.
They are trying to Kavanaugh Hegseth.
Now, how many freaking times do I have to explain the left wing...
Wait, is someone putting a counter for Stewart?
We have started, Stewart, officially attacking assholes in the media.
Let's get the counter going.
The left-wing media practices Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals.
You know Saul Alinsky?
Saul Alinsky was a left-wing organizer.
What are they doing?
I told you, if you didn't continue Rock'em Sock'em Robots, stick it in the chat.
Rock'em Sock'em Robots, kids.
If you don't do Rock'em Sock'em Robots and keep hitting them, then what's going to happen?
Put up rule number 11. The media are left-wing organizers, folks.
They're not actual journalists.
Stewart doesn't plan on writing an objective piece, doing journalistic skills and applying them.
Stewart's trying to take a dump on right-wingers because he disagrees with us.
So what do you do?
The same thing you're doing with Pete.
Pick the target, Pete Hegg said.
Freeze it.
Personalize it.
Polarize it.
Don't attack abstractions, corporations, or bureaucracies.
Identify a responsible individual.
Pete, ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
How many times do I got to explain this?
Now, Guy, who never says anything about anything ever, Guy's only answers are yes and no.
That's it.
You have to talk in code to Guy.
Reminds me of that movie The Martian, when they figure out a way and they can only talk in like yes or no's because the camera can only point and wonder.
That's Guy.
He never says anything ever.
Guy comes in this morning.
He goes, you know what they need to do?
They need to nominate someone else.
They do!
They need to pick someone else.
Who is going to stir up the media machine and throw that name out there right away.
Rock'em, sock'em, robots.
I'm not saying sabotage anything or anyone.
I'm just saying pick some patriot they hate.
They just hate them because they're a conservative.
And then blow the news cycle out tomorrow.
Because why?
Because Saul Alinsky's rules work for us too.
Rule number seven, kids.
Sorry, the other way.
Everything's backwards.
A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag.
Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.
People will turn to other issues if you give them other issues.
Listen, I know everybody knows what they're doing.
I'm not trying to get up anyone's caboose here, right?
I'm just telling you right now that you gotta shake up the news cycle.
Pete is being character assassinated because that's what the media does.
They are left-wing organizers.
These are not journalists.
They are assholes.
They have never been journalists in their entire lives.
Nobody respects them.
They don't even understand that we, we are the news now!
We, the Bongino Army rules, you guys can genuflect before us now.
We're in charge.
You suck.
Nobody trusts you and everybody watches us because you suck.
I need you now.
Get on the phone.
I don't care where you're from.
Respectfully, because the other, don't do anything else, but respectfully, you know the rules.
Get on the phone and start tweeting at Joni Ernst, Lindsey Graham, and that Utah, what's his name, Curtis?
I hear this is another guy.
Get on the phone.
Folks, this stuff matters.
I'm telling you guys in the Senate, if you really believe that this show, Benny's show, Charlie Kirk's show, Dilly's meme team, and others, if you really believe we're just going to forget, oh no, they'll just forget about it.
They'll just forget about it.
You are in for another Tea Party revolution.
We're getting tired of this shit.
You got your scalp.
You knocked out Gates.
We're not letting this go.
Pete is the guy.
Here's Pete just this morning.
And do not withdraw your name.
Listen to me.
Do not withdraw your name no matter what.
President Trump should come out on the record today and say there's going to be an up or down vote.
I want everyone on the record.
Everyone.
Forget Collins and Murkowski.
You're not going to get anything from them.
Murkowski's the biggest scrub in the Senate, an absolute life loser with not a shred of human dignity.
She is the only politician in the country where, seriously, there's a part of me that says, you know what, I'd almost rather lose that seat to a Democrat if chairmanships weren't involved.
That way we can get rid of the Democrat in six years because we're stuck with this loser for life.
She's never going to go away.
She has no set of ethics at all.
Collins is in Maine.
Don't even worry about Collins.
I'm serious.
You're not going to get any better.
I'm really sorry.
Reminds me like Mark Kirk in Illinois.
You got what you got.
Murkowski is from Alaska.
You're never going to meet a bigger group of Patriots.
This is bullshit.
Here's Pete this morning.
He says he's not.
Do not drop out.
Do not withdraw your name.
We lose this, they're going to have Mike Flindam and Kavanaugh on them, and then the swamp's going to know they're back in charge, and we're going to be fighting every freaking foreign war with a woke military, cutting troops' nuts off on your taxpayer dime, while a guy with a root canal can't go out in the field to fight.
Check this out.
Have you had any conversations with the president-elect about the ruling to do with Governor DeSantis?
I spoke to the President-Elect this morning.
He said, keep going, keep fighting.
I'll find you all the way.
So you're in this all the way?
Why would I back down?
I've always been a fighter.
I'm here for the warfighters.
This person is passionate for me.
No, let's draw on your name from consideration, just to be clear.
I'm meeting all day with senators.
I know your mom was just on Fox.
She says that you are a change.
Please do not withdraw your name.
Please.
If you go down with this, I want everyone on the record.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're in charge now.
You can say all you want.
It's bravado.
You guys are cocky.
You know what you can do?
You can go fuck yourself.
We are in charge.
Throw it up.
We're in charge.
It's this live search app.
Number one live stream in the world.
It's this little army we put together right here.
Pat McAfee, sports guy, what's he getting paid?
20-30 million a year at ESPN? We're working in the back of a converted apartment with a TV screen behind us and we're kicking the shit out of everyone.
We're in charge now.
That's why the New York Times come to us with their lips attached to our ass.
Can you comment on us here?
You want to see the studio?
Look at that.
That's like crap on the floor.
I don't even know because we're not even done moving yet to the new studio.
This is like a desk in the back of the place.
ESPN is with a $27 trillion budget.
I love Padme.
Nice guy.
Sports, whatever.
We win.
We win.
Every day.
We're in charge.
But being in charge comes with responsibility.
Folks, we've got a movement to protect.
And Pete Hegseth is more than just about Pete Hegseth.
Yes, Pete is my friend.
Disclosure.
And he has been for a long time.
I got a lot of friends.
You ever see the movie Unforgiven?
I got a lot of friends.
What does the guy say in response?
I don't.
I don't have a lot of friends.
But Pete's one of them.
I'm a hard guy to get along with, man.
I mean it.
Ask my wife, she'll tell you.
She will.
I'm a hard guy to get along with.
She's been with me a long time.
I got a lot of issues, man, and I have no problem putting them on the air.
I always think back to that crazy Howard Stern movie where he says he's gonna go for it.
I decided to go for it a long time ago, and I knew that was gonna open me up to a lot of criticism.
But I don't have a lot of friends.
I don't trust a lot of people.
I trust Pete.
We got Evita in the studio today, and I know something very sensitive to her.
Obviously, her mom Rachel has worked with Pete for a long time, but Evita's very concerned about our military footprint all over the world.
Seems like a lot of people are making a lot of money off putting our kids' heads on the chopping block.
I'm no isolationist, but I certainly ain't an interventionist either.
And Pete Hegsett's one of those guys who's going to look and go, is this really America first, or is this America last, us being over there?
And there's a war machine worth trillions of dollars that doesn't like that.
They're trying to sabotage Pete because there are people in the United States Senate on the Democrat and Republican side who have had arms industry, weapons industry lobbyists up their ass for 20 years.
And they're telling him this is our hill to die on.
Well, fucked!
This is our hill to die on too.
Because you know who's going to die?
Your kids and your kids after that in a number of bullshit foreign enterprises where we have zero interest whatsoever.
Because castrated fucking eunuchs who have no balls to do with themselves don't have a fucking shred of integrity or anything else want your kids to go over and fight some war somewhere.
They don't have a shred of balls to fight themselves.
And they are afraid that Pete Hegseth is going to ask one simple question.
Why?
There's money to be made in your kid's blood.
Folks, we have a military for a reason.
We're not here to duck every fight.
There are fights we have to fight.
You hit us, you knock down our buildings, then we are going to fuck you up.
But man, we don't need U.S. boots in every single country on earth for kids dying and blood on foreign soil because some lobbyist has a freaking pipeline somewhere they need protected.
That's bullshit!
And that's exactly what's happening right now to Pete Hegseth.
I'm sorry about the language, but my giving a fuck's counter today is zero.
I've been listening to this shit for two weeks now.
There is no backing down.
If we back down on this, I'm telling you, the transition guys, if you back away, you fuck this thing up.
They will never stop.
It is not about Pete.
You see all these bullshit stories at Fox?
Here's someone you guys may know.
You know Rachel from Fox, Avita's mom?
I've known Rachel a long time.
I feel like I grew up with Rachel.
I watched her on The Real World when I was a kid.
I feel like I've known her forever.
Rachel knows Pete a little bit.
Right, Evita?
Like...
Ravita's like, holy shit, I think they work together.
Yeah, they like sit next to each other.
It's kind of weird.
For like a long time.
For like eight hours on the weekend.
By the way, it's actually more than eight hours because the show starts at six on the weekends, Fox and Friends, where Pete and Will and Rachel are on the couch.
And here's the thing, folks.
It's called the Curvy Couch.
Do you know why it's called the Curvy Couch?
Because it's fucking curved.
So someone's like breathing in your face.
So it's so weird.
They're like, Pete Hanks said, I'm drunk.
And they're like, really?
I worked at Fox.
Worked at Fox and with Fox for, like, well over 10 years.
That's crazy.
Like, I've been at hundreds of events with Pete.
It's weird how I've never seen that.
But who gives a shit what I think?
I mean, Rachel's sitting right there for, like, eight hours and another two hours before.
This guy, like, he had a beer that I for him he could smell.
Really?
You would think they'd ask Rachel, right?
I mean, she kind of would, like, know and stuff.
Here's Rachel and Will.
I'll put them on one tree.
Rachel and Will will actually work with them.
NBC News have put out this story attacking Pete.
They never even reached out.
And Rachel, by the way, who you rarely, if ever, curses ever, says your story is, quote, horseshit.
I will second that.
There's Will Kane.
Will sits right next to Pete.
Did some sumo wrestling with him once.
Will says your story's horseshit.
Put my name on it.
On the record.
Well, fuckwads at NBC, we're in charge now, not you.
And you can put my name on the record, too.
I don't work with him as much as Will and Rachel do, but I've known him a long...
I met Pete at CPAC, I think, in, like, 2010. I have known Pete a long time.
Pete is a patriot.
Pete is an amazing father and a good man.
Don't tell me, oh, he's made a lot of mistakes.
No shit!
I made a lot of mistakes.
You want to hear my mistakes?
Sometimes I'll do a whole show on them.
You'll be like, holy shit, you made a lot of mistakes.
And it's not just me, and it's not just Will, and it's not just Rachel.
It's Will Case, my producer, who knew Pete at Fox and Friends.
It's Janice Dean.
Does the weather at Fox.
Brianna Morello has her own show who worked at Fox.
It's amazing that everybody's willing to go on the record to say the story's bullshit, and the only people propagating the war machine attack on Pete Hegseth are people who don't have the balls, the balls, no nuts, to go on the record and put your mother's name on it.
Cowards.
We are not folding on this.
Folks, we are not folding on this.
You understand?
Bongino Army put an American flag in the chat right now and burn this chat to the ground.
American flags for Pete Hegseth.
He's got it tattooed on him because he believes in it.
We all got problems, folks.
I just told you.
I love that movie, Unforgiven.
And when he shoots the guy, he feels bad about it.
I guess he had it coming.
What's the other line?
We all got it coming.
We all got it coming.
Pete's a good man.
Yeah, look at that.
Bernie!
Turn it down!
You see that, Stuart?
Have we not spent enough time shitting on you guys yet?
Start your clock again.
That's an American flag.
It's not the Soviet you'll get at.
Oh, my gosh.
We haven't even talked about Stewart yet.
Stewart and his New York Times people have the Soviet Union hammer and sickle in there.
There's one or two.
That's Stewart.
He's commenting.
He's going to try to jump into McGroin's group.
Stewart McGroin or something.
Someone steal that right away.
Stewart NYT McGroin.
This show is too much fun, man.
I think I like melted rumble.
Is it rumble?
Man, the army's powerful.
200 per second.
Yes!
Yes!
Stuart, we're in charge now.
Kneel before Zod, Stuart.
Kneel before Zod.
Never send us an email.
Don't send us an email.
It ain't gonna end well.
Unless you're a conservative, then we love you.
Conservative media, reach out anytime.
I'm way over.
Hey, we're all feeling good about where the country's headed.
What a great time for MyPatriotSupply.com.
Stuart, pay attention to this ad, too, because it does focus on emergencies that actually happen.
You know, like floods and hurricanes and, like, wars and stuff like that.
There are emergencies.
You know why there are emergencies?
Because you didn't see them coming.
Stuart's like, I'm not prepared for that.
Of course you're not.
That's why my audience goes to MyPatriotSupply, because they are prepared.
Stuart will be knocking on the door.

You've been with us a long time.
Man, is that chat still going?
Holy Moses.
Man, you guys are on fire today.
You are tearing it up.
Chris at Rumble, have we melted?
It's headquarters on fire right now.
Unfortunately, Pete is not the only one under attack because Rumble and those of you that invested your time and assets into Rumble, of course, it's publicly traded.
As many of you know, I own a good chunk of Rumble as a company, as an equity holder.
I'm not a manager there again.
I'm an equity holder because I invest in the parallel economy, have for a long time.
You get the point.
Who cares?
Stuart Thompson and the New York Times and every other left-wing bullshit outlet, they reach out, what would you say, guys, every three weeks to a month, and they write the exact same piece every time.
Let me summarize Stuart's from the New York Times.
I'm going to tell you his piece right now.
They're going to go to Rumble, which has millions upon millions of hours of content.
They're going to find some guy who, like, kicked his dog on Rumble one time and they're going to be like, edible abuse on Rumble!
Call the police!
Shut it down!
They're going to reach out to the UK, France, Joe Biden, ban Rumble.
It doesn't matter that there's probably like some ritualistic satanic thing going on on YouTube or elsewhere.
They don't care because Rumble is committed to free speech and a conservative guy, one of many, invested in it.
They're going to call it right wing.
Doesn't matter.
Glenn Greenwald's on there.
Russell Brand and a bunch of left wingers because we believe in free speech.
Stewart doesn't give a shit.
So here's going to be the headline.
Rumble, bad, evil conservatives.
And it's going to be 9,000 words on all kinds of bullshit, okay?
So Stuart Thompson, who today we have declared a public enemy number one on the Dan Bongino show, he writes to producer Jim yesterday, which is a big mistake because producer Jim and I are pretty tight.
So when producer Jim gets this, of course he comes right to me and goes, how should we fillet this idiot?
He says, hey Jim, I'm writing from the New York Times.
That's all I need to hear.
I don't even need the rest of it.
All you have to say, Stuart, is I'm writing from the New York Times, to which we immediately do what?
We go, ah!
That's hilarious.
That's really funny.
We're working on a story about Rumble that mentions the Dan Bongino show.
And uh-oh, Evita's part of this too.
The early edition with Evita.
I'm sure they're going to call her a Nazi, racist, fascist.
We're like a tag team now.
Remember like, you know what they're going to call us?
Remember like the WWE back at Nikita Khrushchev and the Iron Sheik?
That's going to be me and Evita right now.
I guarantee you.
I'm contacting to let you know.
You don't have to let us know, Stuart.
We don't give a fuck.
You're the New York Times.
And to seek comment, we'll give you a comment.
Here it is.
The overall story is about the universe of content that exists on Rumble.
Here we go.
How the news and opinion on Rumble contrasts with coverage from other news sources.
What do you mean?
Like, you dipshits at the New York Times reported there was a PP tape they were investigating and a collusion hoax and you fell for it and we exposed you?
Is that what you mean by other content?
He notes, to complete the story, I deleted my other news sources and relied on Rumble for a week.
Wow!
What a back to journalism.
Man, you were really good at this.
I'll include how Dan's work is mentioned in the story.
I don't give a shit if you include how I'm in the story or not.
So you can be made aware.
This is like the intimidation thing.
Which is hilarious.
Because you'll kneel before Zod, fuckwad.
We're in charge now.
Not you.
You can be made.
I'm making you aware that now we're in charge.
How does that sound?
Useful context.
I'd love to speak with Dan.
You're speaking with me now.
Go fuck yourself.
There you go.
So we can include his thoughts and perspectives about Rumble in the story, which I think would benefit readers.
You have readers?
Last time I checked, you don't have readers.
We got viewers, you don't have readers.
So producer Jim, always entrepreneurial, wrote this beautiful little story.
Oh, wait, wait, there's more.
Yeah.
He says, here's what we're going to mention in the story, that we're Rumble's most watched show, whenever I worked for Fox News, that the podcast is popular.
He's not going to mention any of this stuff.
This is all like him trying to grease us up.
I know these losers, right?
So here's Jim's responses, okay?
Go to the response part.
Hi, Stuart.
Just taking a wild guess.
But I'm guessing this will be the thousandth or so hit piece on Rumble because you don't like our stand for free speech in the First Amendment, which is ironic because you work for your newspaper and you use those very things to your advantage to peddle conspiracies disguised as ooze.
Yes!
Yes!
Dude, if that's not a...
Ready?
Karate man in the...
Wait, this is a left leg karate man.
I never go left leg because of my bad knee.
Sidekick left leg.
This is like Ralph Macchio, Karate Kid.
Wah!
Wah!
There was never a karate man this was in.
He writes, if the New York Times is willing to knowingly push a false collusion hoax for years, amongst many other hoaxes, we don't really expect a fair account of what Rumble actually does.
And he's very nice here.
We prefer not to participate in whatever fake news story you're going to write.
Thanks for reaching out.
Have a wonderful rest of the day.
We don't give a shit about the New York Times, bro.
You're not in charge anymore.
Deal before is hot.
Cutesy time is over.
Even Tapper told you.
Cutesy time is over, kids.
You're not in charge anymore.
I'm sorry.
I know it hurts.

We're in charge now.
Chew on that shit.
I'm serious, by the way.
Don't ever email us.

I have zero respect for you guys at all.
Zero.
You're a left-wing guy that's an actual journalist.

Like a Glenn Greenwald, but it does actual journalism.
You reach out any time.
Respect.
You scumbags?
Nah.
You get nothing from me.
Except kneel before Zod.
We're in charge now.
Quick break!
Because I know Stuart's interested in our advertisers too.
May I recommend you try out Fielder Greens?
Why?
Because I just had some blood work done a little while ago.
Did you see my text from Dr. Neil B? He is one of these life hack doctors I love who's always looking into life hacks and ways to make your life better.
I just did a bunch of blood work.
Dr. Neal shoots me a text.
The blood work was amazing.
A1C, apolipoprotein, cholesterol, all this stuff.
And I read you the text.
He's like, brother, I don't know what the hell you're doing, but keep doing it.
I think it may have something to do with field of greens.
I'm not making that up.
I'm not making it up.
What's field of greens?
It's a life-changing super fruit and vegetable drink that promises you're a doctor.
Like Dr. Neal will notice your improved health from good nutrition or your money back.
The Black Friday sale also includes lean, the physician-formulated weight loss phenomenon that helps turn and burn excess fat and energy.

Or does this go through the...
Because this company, Stuart's really going to hate.
Don't you think, guys?
Stuart, you're going to hate this company.
This is the greatest ad I'm ever going to read for Blackout Coffee.
Anyone who works at the New York Times hates Blackout Coffee, which means what?
You should buy it.
Why?
Because they are awake, but they ain't woke.
Start your day off with the official.
Coffee of the Dan Bongino Show.
Dan, you sound like you had a couple cups today.
No, I'm just really upset that the New York Times keeps going after a friend of mine.
And nobody's reading them anymore.
They don't like it.
So drink a cup of blackout coffee to get you through the workday.
It's bold, but it's never bitter.
They use premium grade beans.
It's absolutely delicious.
Give it a try.
Folks, support the parallel economy.
But not because they just say so.
The coffee's damn good.
Try the cinnamon French toast, the blueberry crumble.
Stuff is amazing.
The folks at Blackout Coffee ship within 48 hours of roasting.
So do me a favor.
Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash Bongino.
See what I'm talking about.
I love this company.
The owner is a patriot.
They love you.
The New York Times hates Blackout Coffee.
That's why you need to drink it.
That's blackoutcoffee.com slash Bongino.
Or use coupon code Bongino for 20% off your order.
Anger the New York Times and Stewart.
Make the switch to Blackout Coffee today.
Blackoutcoffee.com slash Bongino.
Thanks for your patience.
We got great sponsors.
We appreciate it.
So, there's more, of course, going on, folks.
It is getting bad enough.
The New York Times and others are upset that we're the news now, and they aren't.
But everything they tell you, CNN and otherwise, and the New York Times, you can assume is a lie.
It's why roughly 70% of Americans use the New York Times when they run out of toilet paper.
CNN as well.
CNN's a little harder because there's not a print edition of a video channel.
But if CNN were a newspaper and you ran out of toilet paper and had an incident, you would use CNN. So CNN is reporting, according to Breaking 911, that Kash Patel, Trump's pick to lead the FBI, and another good man...
By the way, if the swamp gets rid of Pete, Cash is next.
And then Tulsi, and then RFK. And your cabinet, keep that up a second.
Your cabinet, we were joking this morning.
Your cabinet will be Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Rex Tillerson, and Mike Pompeo.
That'll be your cabinet.
The line in the sand has been drawn.
They're saying that Cash Patel, CNN's reporting, has been targeted in an Iranian hack.
And the actors have accessed at least some of his communications.
Yeah, you stole my thunder.
So folks in the chat, I'm just saying this for Stewart, because Stewart at the New York Times is probably going to report this uncritically too.
Who actually believes that this is an Iranian hack?
Anyone in the chat?
Yes, I believe CNN that it was definitely an Iranian hack.
Who actually believes that?
Okay, I'm going to guess, Bacino, get on the case.
The answer is freaking nobody.
Nobody.
Folks, somebody accessed Kash Patel's email.
And I would be deeply surprised if there wasn't some role of some malicious political actor involved in this too.
As they say in the Queens, I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
I mean, why would you believe anything the media says?
Remember when we saw videos of Biden tripping and falling all over the place, disappearing off camera?
Stumbling through speeches, trying to take the class photo.
It was the G7 event and wandering off to talk to a parachuter.
Remember that?
And they told us what?
Do you remember the story?
These are cheap fakes.
These aren't real.
They're cheap fakes.
They're actual videos.
Well, it happened again yesterday.
Here's our president with oatmeal for brains over in Angola walking around.
And thankfully, the Angola president catches him.
Because Joe Biden, of course, at this point, is really having a tough time.
And listen, again, I wish no ill will on this guy, personally.
I want to be clear.
I don't want to see this guy.
There we go.
Again.
Folks, how much can we please?
Folks, there's 40 days left.
To the Biden team, I know I'm not your friend.
You don't like me.
I don't like you.
Just like I don't like Stewart in the New York Times, okay?
I don't wish ill on anybody.
Can you please just plant this guy in the White House or Delaware?
It's over.
The real president right now, I'm sorry, is not with the political power.
May not have any executive power, but the political power is with Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is dictating border policy, drug policy at the border, tariff policy, economic policy.
All of these tech leaders and business leaders are going to Mar-a-Lago.
They're not going to the White House.
It is clear as day you can ignore it all you want that, yes, there's one president at a time.
He is the president.
I wish he wasn't, but he is.
We're stuck with him for 40 days.
He has no political power at all.
His political bank accounts have been drained.
He's humiliating the United States around the world.
Just put the guy in the White House or Delaware.
Go out on the beach.
Have a good time.
You've done enough damage to the country.
Just stop.
It's almost over.
Let it go.
Here it is.
Yeah, there's Donald Trump.
Really, with the old Canada Social Post, he's got more done with that communist up north in the last, like, 25 minutes, probably on the phone with him, than Biden has in three and a half years.
Just, you know, Motley Crue, girl, don't go away mad, just go away.
Biden, just go away.
We don't, at this point, we're done.
You pardon, you have the constitutional power to pardon him.
It was a disgrace.
It's a black guy on the country.
Just please stop.
It's embarrassing at this point.
Here's some good news.
Well, in addition to it being my 50th spin, I can't believe it.
I'm, like, really shocked by this.
Folks in the chat, when you were 50, did you feel officially old?
Like, 40?
Remember, like, ah, 40's the new 30. Like, 50's the new nothing.
Like, 50's still 50. You know what I'm saying?
50's not like the new 40. 50 is like the new 60, I think.
I don't know.
When you're 50, you're 50. But there's actual good news in addition to me being 50 years old.
Oh, look at it.
Don't get dead.
Don't get dead.
So thankfully, thank you, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I love you.
I've not gotten dead yet.
50 years.
But folks, there are other people around the country who are starting to follow the Dan Bongino principle of is it bad enough yet?
It's something we discussed on the show often.
You know, again, we use a lot of humor on the show, but I'm serious about it because I've lived through two of these.
I've lived through two significant political punctuated equilibrium moments where the dinosaurs get wiped out.
One of them, I was obviously very young.
I'm not going to pretend I was knee deep in politics.
I was, you know, 10 years old, but the Reagan revolution.
Where the entire country seemed to seismically shift to the right in just a period of a few years.
But I lived to it again in New York City with the Rudy Giuliani era.
And I'm going to tell you something.
Things have to get really, really bad For hardcore Democrat voters to wake up to the evils of left-wing communism, and that's what it is in the United States.
So I would ask the question a lot.
We even have shirts that say, is it bad enough yet?
And that doesn't go away.
We're getting there.
We're getting there.
I want to show you this clip out of Chicago.
Folks, the worst mayor in the country at this point, I think it's hard to argue, is Brendan Johnson in Chicago.
I mean, how bad of a mayor do you have to be This guy...
He makes...
That's a good point.
Evita knows Chicago well from college.
Michael's from...
Well, I was born in Chicago, but...
Lori Lightfoot.
Remember Lori Lightfoot?
He actually makes Lori Lightfoot look like Giuliani from New York.
I mean, this guy is unbelievable.
Imagine being in Chicago where you got this city council full of commies and you push a tax hike and you don't get a single commie vote for it.
Do you know how bad you have to suck?
This guy is destroying...
He wants to pull down the police cameras.
So it's like, ah, rapes, robberies, at least you're not on tape and get away with it.
Some residents showed up to talk to Brandon Johnson at one of these little public meetings.
It did not end well.
Folks, if we can shift the politics of inner cities, like I went through with Giuliani in New York, and even start pulling 25% of the black vote there and the Hispanic vote, or maybe more...
The Democrat Party's finished.
Their socialism will have been fully exposed.
Watch this.
You told Trump you ain't gonna blink?
Well, we ain't neither.
You ain't above the law.
And what are you gonna run to when Trump pulls that Trump card out on you?
There's a 10-year prison sentence when you want to stand up here for those illegals.
You all sit up there and say it.
You will not allow Trump to come in here and get these illegals.
Yeah, you can smile.
We're in a billion dollar deficit.
And you spent half of our money, half of that, on illegals.
You campaigned.
You campaigned and doubled down that you would not raise property taxes.
I ain't gonna do that.
You campaigned and went around doing that.
And here we are right now.
You wanted to raise our taxes $300 million.
They shut it down.
Now we back here for $150 million.
Is it bad enough yet?
It is for those residents.
Folks, don't tell me, oh, we're never going to win the inner city vote.
Illinois is a lost cause.
New York is a lost cause.
California is a lost cause.
You know, I may have thought that five years ago.
But it's gotten so bad right now that causes you thought were lost may be found again.
Well, show us some evidence.
Okay, that's what I'm here for.
Because unlike Stewart, you got the timer on Stewart, from the New York Times, I actually do investigative reporting and back things up with receipts.
Unlike Stewart, the pee-pee tape.
Have you ever seen the tape?
No.
A dude told another dude who told another dude.
That's the New York Times idea.
So, here's what evidence looks like.
Here's evidence that political winds are changing.
There is no bigger political animal anywhere than Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City.
None.
By the way, I met him at the UFC. Doesn't change my political commentary at all.
It was very nice.
However, Eric Adams is a terrible mayor.
He has been.
He still is.
Eric Adams is a liberal mayor of New York City.
This guy...
Is licking his finger and sensing the political winds.
He's the mayor of liberal New York City.
And yet yesterday, he's talking about deporting illegal criminals from the city.
No.
Yes.
No.
What are we celebrating?
No.
He should have done it a long time ago.
I'm just telling you the Dan Bongino theory of is it bad enough yet?
I think we're almost there.
You know what's interesting?
I was talking to the team the other day.
I want you to all go back and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country.
They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away.
That was their position.
So this is not a new position.
Because in the era of cancel culture, no one's afraid to be honest about the truth.
Well, cancel me.
Because I'm going to protect the people of this city.
And if you come into this country, in this city, and think you're going to harm innocent New Yorkers and innocent migrants and asylum seekers, this is not the mayor you want to be in the city under.
Again, unlike Stewie, we actually produce receipts.
That's an actual receipt.
We're like the grocery store.
Folks, the winds are changing.
Now, New York State is still busy.
I just saw something like that.
Counting votes still amazing.
California's like, we just decided a congressional race.
The election feels like it was seven years ago.
California's just decided.
You don't find it weird like Stewie from the New York Times.
Gee, why do people think elections in this country are bullshit?
They're not free and fair.
Gee, I don't know.
Just about every liberal state in the country spends weeks counting votes.
And oh, look, they never seem to go in the Republicans' direction.
So strange how that happens.
That's a big coincidence.
Yeah, we got it.
Folks, there's an awakening going on.
Again, it's happening late, but I'll take it.
I'll take it.
These are called receipts.
Here's another one.
This guy, Charlemagne, very popular show.
Has a really large black audience, which matters because this is a community we need to do better outreach to.
We're not done, folks.
We got about 15% of the vote.
I want 40. Well, that's not possible.
Really?
They told us the same thing about the Hispanic vote.
We're almost at 50%.
So I don't accept not possible.
Very popular audience.
Here he is talking about the pardon of Hunter Biden, one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history, that Joe and Hunter Biden, running an international crime operation, are going to get away from it because Joe Biden essentially pardoned himself by pardoning his kid.
Check this out.
He was singled out because he broke the law.
That's number one.
He was singled out because he had an illegal gun and tax evasion charges, not because he was the president's son.
And I honestly don't care.
I just want Democrats to stop acting like they are on this moral high ground politically when they have shown us they're not, you know, whether it's skipping the primary process when Biden stepped down and things like Biden pardoning his son.
Stop acting like y'all the pure party and Republicans aren't.
And it also shows me elected officials can do whatever they want as long as they have the political will and courage to do it.
Absolutely.
We need more of this.
More Kylo Ren style.
We need more.
Folks, this stuff matters.
We're not going to get people overnight.
There's not always a road to Damascus moment, okay?
Sometimes people take a long time to come over.
This is why I've been telling you as MAGA supporters and supporters of the movement.
Some people take a while.
Some people take a long time.
It's up to us to open the tent.
It doesn't mean you've got to trust everyone with sensitive information.
They could turn around and screw you in a minute.
If they weren't there from the beginning, I have very little faith in them.
But if they're going to vote for us, don't say no.
Why?
Because I can't say this enough to you.
And the Wall Street Journal wrote a really good piece about this the other day.
Donald Trump's greatest gift to the Republican Party.
It's not going to be the Abraham Accords, the tax cuts, the judicial appointments, the regulatory reform.
Those are great things.
Point stipulated.
I'm telling you, his lasting gift to the party that nobody...
Nobody in the modern era has been able to crack.
It's his ability to speak to working class voters, black voters, Hispanic voters, Asian voters, Puerto Rican voters, because you say Hispanic voters, they share nothing in common besides a language.
Puerto Rican voters, voters from Spain who may have come over here, they don't even live close to each other.
They speak the same language, saying, oh, you and Australians are the same.
What are you talking about?
Wall Street Journal is a good piece, man.
It's worth your time.
Donald Trump's Rainbow Coalition.
His biggest vote gains from 2020 came in states with the most immigrants.
And he seems to have broken the Democrat monopoly on the black vote.
Folks, this is, if you listen to my podcast, Stuart, go back and do some investigative reporting.
Go earn your freaking money, okay?
Do what we tell you.
We're in charge now.
Get on it.
Whippity, come on.
Liggity split.
Get on it.
Go back and listen to my podcast from the first few days.
I mean, the first few days I did in 2015. I have been talking about the Republican Party's inability.
I mean, I'm not the only one.
It's not like I discovered the problem.
However, having run in Maryland, which has a significant black population and a really large, wealthy, prosperous black middle and upper middle class, I knocked on a lot of doors.
I have been talking about this problem for years.
Trump has solved the problem or made attempts to solve the problem and made inroads.
It is going to be his greatest gift.
Do you see this tweet by Mario Nafal, by the way?
Now you see how bad Kamala's campaign screwed up with all these groups.
She failed to flip a single county in the 2024 election.
That's the first time this has happened since the halcyon days of 1932. You're talking about almost 100 years.
She didn't flip a single county.
Do you know how bad you have to suck?
How bad do you have to suck to be an identity politics candidate?
You've made that the bedrock of your campaign.
And you didn't flip a single county.
You'd think the New York Times would be looking into that, how bad they suck.
Look at this map.
How do you not flip a single county?
That's almost impossible.
Folks, we have broken the media's monopoly on the information exchange happening in this country.
We did this.
All of you out there.
And on this 50th birthday of mine, I'm going to tell you, man, I can't thank you enough.
There are a lot of people who talk in front of a microphone, a lot of them.
You made this show powerful.
And through our investments in Rumble and elsewhere, we've given people an ability to speak.
And because you have the ability to speak, people like the New York Times and the Washington Post, their business model of lying for profit is under attack.
And you know what broke them most of all?
COVID. Forcing people to stick a needle into their arm, put a freaking dumbass face diaper on their face.
Look, it's going to protect you against COVID. Really?
That's amazing.
Every single freaking person who put a mask on got COVID. It's the most...
Imagine that with condoms.
Hey, put a condom on it.
Every girl you have sex with gets pregnant.
You'd be like, that's the worst condom ever.
This is the freaking mask thing.
And morons fell for it.
COVID broke the media monopoly because no one believed him anymore.
Imagine being steward at the New York Times, right?
The paper's like, uh, investigator data indicates that masks are an extremely effective tool, Dr. Fauci, and every freaking person in your household wearing a mask gets sick.
You're like, wait, these people are kind of full of shit.
Why do I bring this up?
The COVID fiasco broke the media.
You want to find out how we're in charge?
This is how.
Here's our good friend Eric Daughtry.
There's a new COVID committee report that released its final report after a two-year investigation.
Did you hear about the findings?
That our NIH, your taxpayer-funded National Institutes of Health, Funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
How does that make you feel, kids?
You're busting your ass for a living while the government steals your money.
And who are they giving it to?
The Wuhan lab to infect the world with a deadly virus.
It's intense.
They note the Constitution can't be suspended in times of crisis.
We needed a report on that?
I was always under the impression that the Constitution wasn't a suggestion.
What do I know?
I mean, I'm not an attorney or anything.
COVID emerging from a lab leak is, quote, not a conspiracy theory.
Thanks.
We said that five years ago.
Peter Daszak should never again receive taxpayer funds.
Public health officials have lost the trust of the people.
Trump's Operation Warp Speed was a success.
The COVID response was rampant with fraud, waste, and abuse.
The prescription cannot be worse than a disease.
Lockdowns had horrific consequences.
Folks, you remember this from Fauci on the Vax?
You were lied to.
You were lied to over and over and over by the New York Times.
And by the way, one of the things the New York Times guy, this clown steward, he's like, oh man, you guys never criticized Trump.
I'm a MAGA supporter, dumbass!
It's an opinion show.
And by the way, do you even listen to the show, you stupid...
We disagree with Trump on a lot of things.
Do you even listen to...
How do we feel about tariffs, guys?
Didn't you hear me mention it yesterday?
Don't like them.
We just talked about it yesterday.
I said if they escalate them to de-escalate them, I could be talked into it.
We don't agree on abortion.
We actually had a disagreement on the show about it.
I don't like warp speed.
I don't like the end result of it.
I like the fact that he pushed these entities to get something done.
However, the something that resulted, I don't agree with.
What are you talking about?
We're not little lemming jerkwads like you.
That's how you guys fell for this shit.
Here's your expert, Dr. Fauci.
Is this a Mays Moore clip?
Hat tip to great Mays Moore.
Thank you for the happy birthday, Mays.
We appreciate it.
Here's Fauci taking 27 different opinions on the vaccine in just a matter of a couple years.
Check this out.
You might have virus in your nasal pharynx, and even though you really feel well, you could inadvertently pass it on to someone else.
It is very unlikely that a vaccinated person, even if there's a breakthrough infection, would transmit it to someone else.
If you're vaccinated, you really don't need to worry about getting it in a way that's serious or transmitting it.
You nailed it, Chris.
That's correct.
Okay.
That's absolutely correct.
You're absolutely right.
You said it correctly.
The risk is extremely low of getting infected, of getting sick, or of transmitting it to anybody else.
You should care.
Because if you get infected, And you're not vaccinated, there is a chance, maybe a likelihood, that you will be part of the dynamics of the continuation of the chain of transmission.
Namely, you will inadvertently or innocently transmit it to someone else who will then transmit it to someone else.
And I don't think anyone would intentionally want to be part of the transmission chain.
You want to be a dead end to the virus.
So when the virus gets to you, you stop it.
You don't allow it to use you as the stepping stone to the next person.
Vaccinated people are clearly capable of transmitting the infection to an uninfected person.
A steward from the New York Times, which one of those takes do you actually believe?
I thought he was an expert.
He's an expert, right?
He's like a doctor and all.
You know, I'm not a doctor.
And guys, I figured it out pretty quick.
You know what happened?
A lot of people got the vaccine, wound up getting COVID. I was like, wait, that dude just told me he got the vaccine.
Now he's sick.
But you're not a doctor.
I'm not a freaking imbecile.
Put on the mask.
Put on everybody who wore that.
God's sake.
Oh, here's the New York Times.
Dana G. Smith.
Now you see why no one watches the New York Times content or reads their content anymore?
It's time to wear a mask again, health experts say.
Listen to this shit.
There is strong evidence that masks help to reduce the transmission of several respiratory viruses.
You guys are good.
You guys are good at the New York Times.
Thanks for reaching out, Stu.
Hope you enjoyed the show today.
Don't email us ever again.
Don't waste your time.
The oxygen you sucked out of the universe while typing that thing is a total waste because we're going to humiliate you because we're in charge now.
I know you don't like it.
But I don't give a shit.
There's my audience.
We're the boss.
We're the news.
Not you.
That's gotta hurt, right?
A hundred years of lying to America.
Billions of dollars of wasted money down the drain.
Lying to people.
And me and Evita sitting here in the back of a converted apartment.
I won't be able to say that anymore, by the way.
We move in the new studio, which is nice.
But we built this here.
Started with me and Paula.
An intern, Justin, he's like 17. We've got Vita's husband, Michael, who's really smart.
He's like a math guy.
And a guy who just doesn't speak, ever.
And we win every time.
Isn't that weird?
Pisses you off, I know.
Folks, thanks again for tuning in.
Do me a favor.
Give a double-barreled middle finger to the New York Times collectively and download the Rumble app because they hate Rumble because we actually believe in free speech.
So you'd be doing us a big favor.
The app is free.
Or if you want to watch every day at 11 a.m.
where we give the middle finger to the New York Times every day, Rumble.com slash Bongino.
Just click that follow button.
And if you really want to piss him off, go over to Apple and Spotify.
I'm sure he'll be writing a piece requesting that they boycott us tomorrow.
And make sure you follow the show over there, too.
I appreciate it.
See you here on the radio show in a few minutes.
Man, that was a show today.
What a show that was, man.
Thank you.
How many people we got?
I didn't even look.
How many people we got?
That was our peak.
Anybody know?
155. That's a badass audience, man, for a Wednesday.
Thank you for all the birthday stuff.
I really appreciate it.
You guys are the best.
I'll see you back here tomorrow.
You just heard the Dan Bongino Show.
