Shocking New Details About The Assassination Plot

Dan Bongino
Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.

Okay, what has two thumbs and doesn't waste your time? I don't waste your time here. Everything I told you yesterday is now out in the public. So as usual, you're usually about six months ahead of the news cycle. Now you're about 24 hours because it's moving so fast and fast.

I told you yesterday. And breaking news, they spotted this shooter 26 minutes out. It's not breaking. They just refused to listen to me yesterday. Michael shaking his head yes. When inside sources told me they found the shooter 26 minutes before and still let President Trump walk on stage.

Why was he on the stage?

Another banger of a show today for all the wrong reasons. Again, one of these shows I wish I wasn't doing, but I have to. Tons of questions. Oh, and by the way, the Secret service director said, don't worry, we didn't put someone on the roof because it could have created a dangerous situation. Like what? Someone getting shot in the head out of the, hey, with coin. Get woke out of your wallet with a credit card that aligns your dollars with conservative values. Find them at coin coign.com comma, go to coin.com. disclosures for terms.

Folks, big show for you today. A lot of sound and audio. And of course, again, you're ahead of the news cycle. JD Vance, this is my pick. So, not saying I made the decision for him as President Trump, but hey, with all the cancel culture going on, it's a threat to free speech.

All right, fellas, let's get this party started. Unfortunately, it's not a party, folks. It just keeps getting worse.

Only in government can an apocalyptic failure like this that nearly resulted in the death of a future president and would have changed world history in a potential, like, Archduke Ferdinand type moment, hopefully absent the world war, but could have altered history. Only in government does nobody take the blame.

Nobody's responsible, nobody resigns, and nobody's fired.

I mean, imagine running a Fortune 500 company that produces the most popular widget in the world. I don't know, the freaking pet rock or something.

And you run out of rocks, it kind of defeats the purpose of you having a freaking business.

Nobody's taking any responsibility for this. It's superficial responsibility. Oh, yeah, they are. The buck stops for me. I'll play this cut for you in a minute. The secret service director. The buck stop. So resign.

You failed. You freaking failed. You blew it.

He put that eleven news article up first.

Folks, I told you this yesterday. Again, you can continue to watch these mainstream outlets and be 24 hours behind. I don't mean to sound like a dick. You guys are here with me every day.

I'm just saying.

100%, 100,000 already. We're only five minutes in. Thank you all for being here. You want to get ahead of the news?

I've got the sources specifically on this thing. We've had this stuff for days. Alleged Trump shooter spotted by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before the shots are fired, sources say. Folks, I just did my good friend Mike Gallagher's show downstairs on Radio Row. It's right out the window here to my right. We're in a special rumble studio here. Thank you to Chris and the thank you Rumble team. You did an amazing job. You all are awesome. We love rumble.

However, the question here is, as I've said before, and I said on Gallagher's show, if you spotted the shooter 26 minutes, and if, say, 20 minutes, why was President Trump on the stage?

You've got a suspicious person who could be a lethal threat. Why are you putting a man out in the open, within sniper range with an unsecured high ground with no visual obstacle? Can anyone provide for me an explanation, please?

Gee, queue up the news report. Here's a local news report again. Breaking news after we told you this yesterday. If the media would listen to us, the story would have already been out already. But they don't. They listen to their own bullshit. Listen to this and give me some kind of sane explanation as to how this was allowed to happen and why President Trump was allowed on the stage. Check this out.

Local News Reporter
We are learning, and this is pretty big. According to some of the latest reporting coming out on this, several law enforcement officials are telling the AP that a local officer actually encountered the shooting suspect on the top of that building that he's accused of shooting from, climbed up onto the roof. This was after being flagged down by people, bystanders, who saw that suspect climb up there. And that officer apparently went up onto the roof and the suspect pointed his rifle at the officer, and that officer reportedly retreated, giving the suspect the opportunity to shoot his rifle at former President Trump. So that is one of the big things.

Dan Bongino
Why was he on the stage?

Why was he on the stage?

Everybody knew this was going on.

Nobody thought to evacuate the president.

Former president, soon to be president. You get the point. I don't need to keep correcting that.

Why is he on the stage?

Let me let you in on a little secret service lingo again. Nothing I'm telling you is classified.

You all in the military, anyone in military or SWAT or policing on this has heard this before. EP, executive protection. What is the golden rule of a threat, of a persistent threat to life and limit? You get the protectee off the x. What's the x? It's the spot they're standing where they're exposed. Get them off the x. Cover him and evacuate. Why was he on the stage? Get him off the x. Get him off the x. Everyone out there needs to be posting this repeatedly over and over again. Why was he on the x? Why?

Anyone in the chat have an explanation outside of incompetence? Listen, there are a bunch of people telling me, Dan, you're missing the evidence. I only say what I know. I will never bullshit you, ever.

I'm telling you right now, Occam's razor, the incompetence here is freaking stunning.

Secret Service director came out and the daily mail's covering it now and now said that they didn't have a element posted on that roof because it may have been dangerous.

Okay, let me ask you another question. Secret Service, you're the freaking director. I assume you've done this before.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a line of sight problem, folks in the chat, Jim, if this doesn't make sense, as the audience on Budsman, please. Jim. Producer Jim sitting on my left. If in the chat, if you don't get this, please tell me if there is a line of sight issue you can't solve. Say you have a tower or a pole where it's going to be impossible to stage someone but someone could crawl up that pole with a gun and shoot the president. Okay. Or the protective. Anyone know what you would do?

You would block the line of sight. Let me give you an example of something I did because I did this shit for a living for twelve years.

Ever hear that Aaron Neville song? I don't know much. Is that him? But I know. I don't know much but I know this. I went to Hofstra university once, her site for Hillary Clinton. She was the first lady. We didn't have enough assets to block line of sight. She was giving a speech and there were some windows pointed to a dormitory tower. So you know what I did. Because we block line of sight. If we can't stop a shooter from getting at an elevated position, we can at least stop them from seeing what they're shooting.

You know that fake snow. You ever see fake snow, Jim? You spay them. I said, can you guys go out and get some fake snow? And I had them spray the fake snow all over the windows so the shoe shooter couldn't at least see what they were trying to shoot at. Cause it was the best we could do. Was anything done to block the line of sight? Did anybody say, hey, that's an elevated position, 130 yards away? They could take out President Trump? Okay, we can't get someone up there. Can we at least block the line of sight? Why is no one asking these questions? I'm volunteering myself up on Capitol Hill.

It cost me $5, probably less pre Joe Biden inflation to have Hofstra go out and get some fake snow on the freaking windows.

Here's failed director who should have resigned and still, I mean, zero human dignity at all. Here she is saying, hey, the buck stops with me, but I'm not stepping down. So the buck doesn't stop with you. You're clearly passing the bucks. Check this out.

Local News Reporter
Who is most responsible for this happening?

Secret Service Director
What I would say is that the Secret Service is responsible for the protection of the former president.

Local News Reporter
So the buck stops with you, the.

Secret Service Director
Buck stops with me. I am the director of the secret service. It was unacceptable and it's something that shouldn't happen again.

Local News Reporter
The president and Homeland Security secretary said today they had 100% confidence in you. But there are some members of Congress calling on you to resign.

Secret Service Director
I appreciate the secretary's comments, and we're going to continue to be transparent and communicate with people.

Local News Reporter
You plan to stay on? Absolutely.

Secret Service Director
I do plan to stay on.

Dan Bongino
Is this for real, Jim? Am I crazy?

The Buck?

Yeah, I mean, that's kind of a big question. Well, in relation to this specific, let's go micro macro, that was probably a bad. Everyone in the studio at the same time was like, eh, probably not the best question with regards to this. The buck doesn't stop with you if you don't actually do anything.

Yeah, I totally failed. Nearly got President Trump killed. But, yeah, I'm just gonna continue to do the same failed job I did before. Oh, okay, folks, is there any other entity on planet Earth? Sports, entertainment, Fortune 500 companies, mid sized companies, small companies? Is there any other entity on earth where this type of apocalyptic failure would not only be tolerated, but you still, you still have people out there in the media going, I've got to praise the job they did. Praise what, man?

You're giving these people cover for a failed mission that will fail again. And mark my words, there will be some attempt at some point and you'll all be looking at me going, I should have listened to episode whatever. Today's number is where Dan said, hey, you know what? You want to change failure, change the people instituting the failure. And they're not doing it. Nobody has resigned over this. No one.

I have an important message now, too.

This is directed at the people who know.

The people who know about the fights to get more assets for President Trump, the people who know about his elevated threat level, the people who know that the security footprint wasn't adequate to keep this man alive and safe.

I'm asking you as a friend, as a former colleague.

Life is calling, Mandy.

It's time to pick up the phone.

Big people do big things. Small people do small things.

The courageous are going to speak out.

I don't want to hear lectures about, oh, my pension and my.

I resigned and walked away from my job. And there was no guarantee anything was ever going to come out of it because I believed in something bigger. So you could spare me the lectures.

You'll probably get whistleblower protection.

Go get yourself a lawyer and speak out now. You're running out of time.

Life's calling, man.

Pick up the phone.

I asked a bunch of open questions yesterday. There are still no answers to. Shockingly, no one has spoken out yet. It's now been a couple of days. It is time to speak up. You are running out of time.

They're going to be massive changes coming up if this government changes hands, as I hope it does, from this tyrant in charge now to President Trump, and somebody's going to have to answer. So you damn well better speak up now.

There's still no answer to two biggest questions.

Where was the aerial surveillance plan?

So I asked, I'm going to add a third question. There are three questions. Let me get him out of the way up front. Number one, we asked in the beginning, I want every member of Congress, I'm asking you, please, please, as an ally here, every member of Congress, Democrats, too, because Joe Biden could be next if they don't do the right thing and clean this shit up.

Why was President Trump on the x? Why was he on stage at all?

Question two. Where was the aerial surveillance plan? Why is no one asking this question? Media people, you interviewed Kim Cheadle yesterday. Why was there not a drone, a helicopter, infrared, thermal? Is anyone listening to this? It's not like I have any subject matter expertise on this. Right? Or you want to continue to rely on your experience from j school, journalism school?

Why weren't there sufficient secret Service post standards at the site? Why were you relying on other DHS agents rather than specifically trained secret service agents at the site to protect the guy with the biggest threat profile you have? Can anyone explain it?

If those three questions, if members of Congress, send them to your members of Congress. I need you, Bongino army right now. If those three questions aren't answered, you will never get resolution to this at all. And this will happen again.

Of course again. It's government. Nobody's taking responsibility for anything. And not only are they not taking responsibility, they are lying.

Here is this human abomination. Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary. Why does he matter? I know you know this. Forgive me for sounding a little redundant here, if I may have said it multiple times, but the DHS oversees the secret service. We used to be in the treasury department. We were moved to the Department of Homeland Security. Alejandro Mayorkas, it would be the big boss. The guy's obviously failed at the border and everywhere else, but he's also in charge of the secret service.

Here is Alejandro, Alejandro Mayorkas lying to your face that there have been repeated requests for enhanced security around President Trump and Mar a Lago, and that he's pretending they were not rebuffed. I'm telling you for a fact, media people don't get on the wrong side of this. This man is lying. And to those people who know, it is time for you to speak up. You are running out of time to do the right thing.

Life's calling.

Pick the phone up.

Big people do big things.

This man's a small person doing a small thing, and he is absolutely lying. Here, check this out. You also received a letter from the.

Alejandro Mayorkas
Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee that suggests your department may have, quote, rebuffed multiple requests from President Trump's security detail to increase protective resources.

Dan Bongino
How do you respond to that?

Alejandro Mayorkas
That is an unequivocally false assertion.

We keep very close watch on a very dynamic threat environment.

The president, the former president, are commonly consistently under threat. We take every single threat seriously. We make security adjustments as are warranted. We had enhanced security for the former president beginning at least in June. We have not received any requests for additional security measures that were rebuffed. That assertion is unequivocally false.

Dan Bongino
Dear media people, watching my show today, I know there's a lot of you. I am begging you. You're not friends. We will never be allies. Most of you hate America. I get it. I am telling you this is a lie. And if people would just speak up, life is calling.

You would know from the horse's mouth that is not true.

And I'm not sure what's worse, Jim. What's worse?

That requests for enhanced security measures around President Trump were not granted and he was subsequently almost killed, or that they were granted and this is the best you could do with the technology, and he's almost killed. Which one's worse?

He's gonna go. I'm gonna go with number. He may be right. So I'm like this. I'm like, either he's a liar or Alejandro Mayorkas is right, Jim. You're right. I think number two is worse and that this is the best you could do and the best technology you have, and he still almost got killed by a 20 year old rookie sniper 130 yards away, and nobody noticed him or noticed him and did nothing about it.

Guy who never says anything is.

It's not great. That's a. That's a lot. That's a lot for guy. That's a lot.

That.

That's like the Gettysburg address for guy.

You know? This is the best you could do.

You're, you're, you're on the record with that. I just played the cut, folks. The show's not going anywhere. That's now gonna live it in for me. They're the best we could do.

He's lying. It's not the best they could do.

The former is actually what happened, not the latter. He is lying. There have been repeated requests for this enhanced security.

Let me take a quick break and I'll get back to the show. I got a lot more ahead, including, this is important.

How the hell do we fix this? Because we got to keep this guy alive, folks.

It's not a third world republic. We don't get our executives killed.

Hey. Student loan forgiveness, handouts, and free everything. Seems everyone's getting a free pass. Yeah, except you. You've been an honest, taxpaying citizen for, you know, forever. But when Covid and tough times happen, you fell behind with some unfiled tax returns. Instead of forgiveness, the IR's is hiring thousands of new enforcement agents to come after you. But listen, it's risky to call the IR's yourself.

You need tax network USA. Their aggressive strategies are designed to help solve your IR's problems quickly and in your favor. They have preferred direct lines to the IR's. They know which agents to work with and which ones to avoid. Tax Network USA specializes in helping to reduce or help eliminate your tax debt. They've helped resolve over 1 billion in tax debts for their clients. Some of these tax solutions expire. You don't want to wait on this. Tax Network USA is owned by fellow patriots. They're giving you a free consultation. Call 1802 four five, 6000. That's 1802, four, five, 6000. Or visit tnusa.com dan. Tnusa.com dan. Thanks, Tax Network USA. We really appreciate you sponsoring the show. Back to the show. So, folks, because I never want to be accused by the patriots in this audience who are interested in keeping this government functioning. And we're not gonna work like a third world republic and let our people get killed. And we sure as shit aren't gonna let Donald Trump get killed out there. How the hell do we fix this? Because if we don't, it will happen again. Because passing the buck isn't doing an interview going. I'm in charge. Oh, yeah? You're gonna resign? No, I'm not gonna resign. Oh, and by the way, this is the best we could do. Alejandro Mayorkas, step number one, you wanna change the Secret Service.

Hey, Jim, does the president United States height and weight change based on the sex composition of his detail, male or female?

It does not. It does not. Jim says President Trump's a rather large man. He's a big guy. I'm six'one, 200 pounds, maybe 197, I don't know. President Trump is a lot bigger than me. When President Trump grabs you for the handshake and pulls you in, he feels like a college wrestler sometimes. He's a big guy. He's heavier than me. I don't know what his weight is. I haven't asked him recently, but I can tell you he's heavier than I am. He's also bigger. So if. Can I just ask a common sense question here? If the president of the United States, or any protective, for that matter, if their height and weight do not change, then why are the physical fitness standards different for men and for women? Anyone in the chat have an idea?

Oh, because we believe in DeI bullshit. If we're a bunch of lefties that are running our government right now, why do fitness standards change?

Folks, I don't care what your sex, religion, creed, whatever it is.

If you can't lift and evacuate the president of the United States and use force to protect him, you may be required to kill someone to protect the president of the United States. I hope that never happens, but that may happen one day. If you cannot perform these firearm and physical fitness functions, then get the hell off the job.

Get off the job.

Has anyone ever wondered why the GI Jane story only exists in movies?

These physical disparities are real.

Can they be overcome? I don't know, but you're going to have to show us in a physical fitness test.

I would change this immediately. There is one standard, because there's one protectee.

If a female agent, or a male agent, for that matter, doesn't matter to me, cannot lift the president and evacuate them, they cannot do the basic job functions.

Imagine hiring someone to develop a website who has zero website experience.

What are you relying on?

Goodwill?

Here's Karine. Jean Pierre asked a very basic question. Oh, you know, there's a bunch of people out there. Of course, the media question is always slanted, complaining about female agents. No one's complaining about female agents. They're complaining about agents who can't do the job, who happen to be female. That's a totally different story.

I have already told you, I work the secret service. There is a valuable role for female protection agents. Oh, what are you, virtue signaling? What are you, a moron?

No.

Practically speaking, we have female protectees. They go into bathrooms. They go into places where other females obviously, are going to fit in different.

There is a role there, but you have to be able to perform the job. Here's phony, fake, pathetic. Karine. Jean Pierre, you know, bullshitting. This reporter would say, oh, you know, this is all about, like, Dei crap. Check this out.

Yeah. Karine. Jumpier.

Karine Jean-Pierre
Have the tragic events of this weekend shifted the president's sense of urgency or position on gun control legislation. And then secondly, there's been a lot of right wing chatter about the female agents starting the former president, specifically whether women are up to the job.

People are noting that they're smaller, that they weren't able to cover the president. But, I mean, this is a talking point that is circulating. So what's your response? That's ridiculous.

Dan Bongino
To your second question. Obviously, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Folks, you understand she's gonna get her boss killed with this stuff.

President Biden is a secret Service protectee. Obviously they don't care.

They are not interested at all in even keeping their own people alive. They're interested in Dei over everything. Step one, how do we fix this? One physical fitness standard, period.

Not one for females and one for males. Let me let you in on a little secret you may not know. You ready? There are bonuses awarded to field office supervisors, special agents in charge in the field who go out and recruit based on quotas, not merit.

Listen to what I just said. They are given bonuses. They are cash incentivized to go and hire on quotas, not on merit, for one of the most important jobs in the federal government, keeping our people alive.

The next director, this woman should be fired immediately. If President Trump wins immediately. The next director needs to come in there, scrap this old pt garbage standard, and scrap all this dei garbage.

Here's another step to fix the secret Service.

Media people, feel free to report on this. It's not like I have some subject matter expertise or anything.

Security assets should never be allocated according to title. That he is a former president doesn't matter.

There is nothing in 18 USC 3056 that gives the Secret Service the power to do what they do. There is nothing in there that says former agents should get less protection. Go read it. Nothing.

Your threat, the threat assessment dictates the amount of bodies you're going to apply to the problem.

Look at President Trump last night when he rolled out on the floor. Did you see that phalanx of Secret Service agents out there? What? The threat assessment changed overnight.

I got news for you. It didn't. It's been high the whole time. Now you find people.

What changed? What changed is you got embarrassed.

President Trump should have a full presidential package. I've only been calling for this, like, forever.

I'm going to take a quick break and I'm going to get to this RFK thing, too, because now RFK all of a sudden has a detail. What RFK's threat assessment changed overnight. Folks, what I'm getting at is the reduced security package for President Trump. And the lack of security for RFK was a political decision, not a security. One fact.

I'll get to that in a second.

Quick break. We'll be right back to the show. Hey, time is our precious commodity. Most precious commodity. I've heard from so many of my listeners who've asked about advice about how you can spend time wise. I even wrote about it in my book. You want to improve yourself and the people around you.

Thank you. Appreciate it. My pillow. Okay, folks, did the threat level against RFK running for president obviously change overnight? We called for presidential protection for RFK. How long ago, Jim? Six months ago. RFK is a more than viable candidate. Is he going to win? Is he going to be President Trump? I highly doubt it. However, he's polling in double digits and is a more than viable presidential candidate. He's actually got a better chance of winning right now, probably than Joe Biden.

Why does he not have Secret Service protection? I don't support RFK, but I'm not an asshole. And I don't make my security decisions based on politics. And it's not like Jim wasn't his dad. Something happened to his dad, right?

Oh, he was assassinated. I didn't even know that. That's. I just learned that today on the show here. All of a sudden, folks, randomly, it's like the threat matrix changed overnight. Here's Myercus again. Oh, yeah. Now we're going to give protection to RFK. Six months ahead of the news cycle. Check this out.

Alejandro Mayorkas
In light of this weekend's events, the president has directed me to work with the secret service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy, junior.

Dan Bongino
Jim just checked. Just so you know, we say it but verify it. Receipts matter, right? It was almost a year ago that we called for RFK to get secret service protection. Now all of a sudden, keep in mind, I am not getting an inside briefing on the threat matrix and assessment against RFK. I just know from doing this that his threat level is probably mid to high.

That's why we call for it. Now all of a sudden, the guy who is getting the briefings comes around to our position.

Folks, this is all a joke. It's all sick, disgusting politics.

Here's another major fix the secret Service needs to institute tomorrow.

PT tests scrap DEI security assets allocated based on threat, not on titles. They have to merge the special operations division. I don't know if you know this, but the emergency response team on the White House grounds, our SWAT team, they can only be uniformed division officers. Why? Why is that? Our counter assault team.

That element you saw on stage with the black bdus when President Trump got shot.

Those guys can only be agents. Why? There's more than enough qualified uniformed division officers. What? That's an artificial distinction. Why did you know k nine units can only be uniformed division officers? Why?

No one in the secret Service will give you one single sound reason. We had an agent in my class who was a marine sniper. Why the hell can't he be a counter sniper guy?

The answer is because it's the freaking government and they can't do a cranial rectal reverse inversion. That's why countersniper guys are only uniform division. Insane.

What's that?

Why can't a cranial rectotomy happen? Why?

Also the Secret Service, they have no. Why are they still doing investigations? All of this bullshit I hear, even from friends. Oh, it makes you a better protection agent. They are. I did them both. They are two completely different skill sets. The only thing the Secret Service should be investigating are threat levels. That is it. There is no reason for them to be doing this.

So, Byron Biden, that was. That was the worst freudian slip. I was trying to say tyrant and Biden and it came out by rent. I think we should put that on his shirt. The Byron spoke out last night. He gave another pathetic, disgusting interview, and he was asked first, for the first time in forever, President Trump almost has to get killed before the media asks a freaking question. Hey, what about all this violent rhetoric you've been using? Like putting a bullseye on the president, watch him stumble through the whole thing? Because they're the source of the violent rhetoric, not us. Check this out.

Local News Reporter
You called your opponent an existential threat on a call a week ago. You said, it's time to put Trump in the bullseye. There's some dispute about the context, but I think you appreciate I was talking about focus on.

Dan Bongino
Look, the truth of the matter was, what I guess I was talking about at the time was there's very little focus on Trump's agenda.

Local News Reporter
Yeah, the term is bullseye.

Dan Bongino
It was a mistake to use the word. I didn't say crosshairs. I mean bullseye, focus on him. Focus on what he's doing.

Now. This, I just want you to understand, this will all be let go by the end of the week, and the media again will be calling Trump a Hitler, Nazi, fascist. There'll be articles written. What if the shooter didn't miss? Guaranteed. Guaranteed. However, the media now trying to preserve some sliver of dignity they don't have, has decided, let's ask him one tough question to move on. Remember when Sarah Palin, they had that map with the crosshairs over districts? Remember that? That actually turned into a lawsuit. That went on forever. Biden says, let's put a bullseye on Trump. He subsequently gets shot and he gets a free. Oh, yeah, yeah.

I didn't mean it. I meant, like, focus on. Okay. See if you're given the same deference by the media, if you were to say the same thing. Good luck.

Want to see the craziest media response I've seen yet? Here is the absolutely hapless joy read, the gold medal winner in the dopey media talking head olympics. I'm sorry, but I think she'd be. She should be gold medal winner emeritus or something. She should never, ever be taken from that spot, ever. Hall of Fame. We're establishing today for the first time the hall of Fame in the dopey media talking head olympics. And our first nominee. How many we got here from the staff, folks in the chat. Yes. Joy Reid should be our first. Our first plaque on the hall of Fame for media morons. Yes. Why? Yes and no, guy. Yes. Yes or no, guy. Michael?

Jim.

I take Teresa, but I'm mad at her. She doesn't get a vote. Paula. Yes. Evita. It's unanimous, folks in the chat. Yes. Yes. Botchino. If it's anything over 50%, she is our first one.

I am sure we can. Mike's chiming in remotely. He is a yes. I'm sorry, Mike. This is. All right, get the cut ready. Here is Joy Reid saying, this is really terrible because it's going to allow President Trump to be the victim. Allow.

You have to what?

Check this out.

Joy Reid
That the greatest purveyor and promoter of political violence, really, you know, since anyone can remember, since George Wallace, I think, you know, that we just haven't experienced that kind of open, you know, sort of sighting or sort of incitement of violence or sort of luxuriating in the idea of violence. It's just not something we're used to anymore in american politics. And then we had to get used to that being a thing. And people are concerned and expressing concern that we won't be the guardians of memory and that we won't allow Donald Trump as he is, you know, bathed in the glory and grandeur of his party, to rewrite himself as both a hero and a victim.

Dan Bongino
Oh, my gosh.

Is this woman a lunatic?

He was just shot in the face. It hit his ear. He came within a millimeter of having his head blown off on live tv. And this absolute dipshit who I'm sure everyone has disavowed any knowledge of knowing this loser at all, who's not a crazy liberal, right? It's like, well, it's going to allow him to paint himself as a victim. By the way, that was unanimous. Jim says the hall of fame, I think it's 75%. Joy Reid. Congratulations, everyone. A round of applause. Rumble. Round of applause for Joy Reed. Please ask everyone. Thank you to the rumble staff. Joy Reid, our first joy. If you want to prepare an acceptance speech for the hall of fame. Gabe, will we run it on the show? Jim, can we do that? We will run it on the show, Joy. We're putting out the. If everyone wants to tweet to Joy, please prepare an acceptance speech as the dopest media talking head we've ever heard in our lives.

What's that? Oh, you guys want to see the rumble room? Yeah. We'll give you a little sneak peek behind the scenes. Flip on over there. Everyone wave hello. Rumble team, say hello to the audience. We got 200,000 people watching you right now. This is a great crew. We love you guys. Was Gerald in here before? Gerald was here before, right from Crowder. So we saw him running around. He said he comes back, we'll say hello to him. So thank you, Rumble. We appreciate everything you guys are doing. It's awesome. Glad you guys got there. Everybody's clapping. All right. I don't want to forget this because it was more big news yesterday. Obviously, I'm going to stay focused all week on this really important story, which is President Trump nearly died and we got to keep this guy alive. I'm not going to let that go. I hope you understand that. However, it's not the only thing going on.

The news cycle in this country rolls fast. And it was a huge announcement yesterday.

You guys in the chat, who are my p one s? I'm going to ask you a serious question right now. It's a little kind of interactive show element here.

Can you guys read my winky winky nod nods? You know what I mean? Have you guys learned to read my language when I can say something without saying something because it's okay. You get the point. I don't need to say anymore. JD Vance was selected yesterday as Donald Trump's running mate. I am extremely happy with that selection. I thought he was the best pick. Other people had different ideas. That's okay. That's what makes the conservative movement great. We believe in actual free speech, the God given right to speak out and have an opinion. Some people had a different one. I strongly supported the selection of JD Vance. I'm glad you guys read my wiki nods. You're always ahead of the news cycle. Here.

Here was Donald Trump's post on truth. You probably read it. Not going to read the whole thing, but he did it at about what? It's come out about noon or something, maybe after, I don't know, sometime. But I came out yesterday. And remember, ladies and gentlemen, with the VP pick, I strongly support JD and always have. I want that on the record, period.

However, for those of you who didn't and thought another pick was better, this is our ticket now and we have an existential threat to the United States and we're going to run with this ticket. But I just want you to remember one thing. The golden rule with a vice presidential pick in selection, and the platinum rule is do no harm.

Nobody, I'm sorry, but nobody votes for the vice president. No one. They're voting for Donald Trump. The pick. You can't do any harm with the pick. Okay. I believe JD Vance is. I don't believe it's true. He's young, he's energetic, and nobody is able to speak to the middle class better than JD. His book, hillbilly elegy will change your life if you read it. It's about the hollowing out of middle America. Even liberals liked the damn book because they were like, wow, the middle class is getting screwed over. Nobody talks the language of the middle class better than JD Vance. And ladies and gentlemen, we need that. He is going to live in Pennsylvania for the next few months because he understands that entire area and what happened to it. Another positive. He's a fantastic debater.

He is a master debater. You need to pause. If you say that fast, you'll see why. He is definitely a master debater.

He understands cereal box messaging better than any other. The VP candidates, people only understand sound bites and snapshots. That's why the picture of President Trump is going to go down as one of the most iconic pictures in political history. Snapshots and soundbites. Nobody gets the soundbite better than JD. He's great on tv and he understands it. He's one of the few guys in politics who changed my mind on a subject.

He did a podcast about the hollowing out of America and China and the WTO and trade with China. He's one of the few guys ever changed my position. Here's a quick 1 minute clip. Some of JD, he's not a big yeller and a screamer. And that's okay. Obviously I am. We got a bit of different styles there, but that's okay. Here's about a minute. Hot tip. The daily caller of some of JD's most viral moments from the past. Check this out.

Secret Service Director
The thing the media and Congressman Ryan, they talk about this all the time. The thing they never mentioned is that poor girl was raped by an illegal alien, somebody that should have never been in this state in the first place. When the media and people like Tim Ryan accused me of engaging the great replacement theory, I'll tell you, you were peddling it. I'll tell you exactly what happens, Tim. What happens is that my own children, my biracial children, get attacked by scumbags online and in person because you are so desperate for political power that you'll accuse me, the father of three beautiful biracial babies, of engaging in racism. We are sick of it. You can believe in a border without being a racist. You can believe in the country without being a racist. And this just shows how desperate this guy is for political power. I think it takes a special amount of gall to be from Joe Biden's political party and to complain about the fentanyl crisis that is ravaging not just Ohio but the entire country because it is Joe Biden's border policies that have invited this fentanyl into our country at record levels.

Dan Bongino
Again, folks, I am a loud, vocal supporter of JD in the spot and have been for a long time. I owe you an opinion. That's mine.

You are absolutely entitled and I respect alternate opinions, but I don't respect people who don't want to win. This is our ticket now. And this is the battle we're going into. This is, this is the army we're going to battle. With my humble opinion, it's the best one we could have gotten. And now we have it. I want you to listen to one more person. There's a rumor we're going to see this guy tonight, right? Jim Tucker? Oh, we are going to see g say we are special. Anita, do me a, do a post. Do me a favor and pin it. Tonight, 07:00 p.m. eastern 06:00 p.m. local time, our first primetime RNC special. The guest for the show is going to be the great Tucker Carlson. Don't miss it right here on the Rumble channel. Rumble.com bangino. Rumble.com bangino. Download the Rumble app. You're going to love the show tonight. I'm already preparing a whole bunch of stuff. Why did I bring that up here? Because if you're having doubts about JD Vance, listen to what Tucker says. This is a really, really profound thing. All of the right people, and by right, I mean wrong. All of the right people seem to hate JD Vance.

All the right people. Check this out.

Alejandro Mayorkas
JD Vance is the VP pick. And I think every person who pays close attention has got to be thrilled by that.

And if you don't know much about JD Vance, I'm not even going to make a case for JD Vance. I'm going to tell you what I just saw, which is that every bad person I've ever met in a lifetime in Washington was aligned against JD Vance.

And I do think the negative case is often more powerful.

Dan Bongino
Folks. Lindsey Graham, who, by the way, I can't stand, he's done more damage to the republican brand. He's in a blood red state in South Carolina and acts like he's in a swing state. Lindsey Graham was trashing JD Vance.

Trashing him just the day before.

All the right people hate JD Vance.

Is there any more convincing you could possibly need?

All right, there's other news going on in the news cycle. This is, I mean, talk about drinking from a fire hose. Like drinking from five fire hoses. At the same time, Judge Eileen Cannon throws out Donald Trump's records case down in Florida because Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed. Ladies and gentlemen, another story you were a year ahead of if you're watching the show. Jack Smith, they have no power whatsoever to pluck someone not Senate confirmed out of the private sector, anoint this guy as a special counsel in the most powerful, potentially destructive case in american history against a former president. Sorry, I was waving to some folks out there. The volunteers, they just made up the authority to do this. It was only a matter of time before these people got exposed. Judge Eileen Khan is like, how did you appoint this guy? I want you to listen to the great Mike Davis. Why am I bringing up Mike Davis? Anyone in studio know? Because Mike Davis will be a guest on our next primetime special tomorrow night. 07:00 p.m. eastern. 06:00 p.m. local with the great Jack Paso. Big too. I got bangers lined up for you. Freaking bangers. Here's Mike Davis explaining how if Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed, this may affect the DC insurrection case, too. Check this out.

Mike Davis
So the United States Constitution is very clear that if you want to create new officers or if you want to spend taxpayer money, it has to be through our elected representatives in Congress. And we had the office of the independent Counsel. And Congress intentionally let that lapse after the Ken Starr investigation of President Clinton. And so what did the Justice Department do? They tried to sidestep that they tried to create by fiat the office of the special counsel through regulation, not through Congress. And then this office of special counsel is not accountable to the attorney general on a day to day basis. There's no day to day management, and it essentially gets an unlimited budget. So Judge Eileen Cannon followed the constitution. It's very clear that the office of special counsel is unconstitutional. And she just ruled that way today, folks.

Dan Bongino
All you had to do was. Jim, what's that thing called again? The governing thing with the sea. Um, that constitutes. I always forget that. All you want to do is read it.

Dan, you didn't go to law school. Yeah, I didn't go to medical school either. But if my heart's, uh, you. Oh, you have one. Look at this. Thank you, D. Look, here we go, folks. The constitution, it. Wait, is there an. Hold on. No, there's no appendix. There's no appendix. The constitution right there.

Here's how this works, liberals. There are words in it. You just read it and you crack it open.

Article 6.25. You can appoint a special counsel from the private sector to try a former president. Oh, no, that's not there. That's not there.

It's not in the Constitution.

Shit, man.

It's like Merrick Garland didn't know that. Of course he knew it. He just wanted the craziest person possible to prosecute Donald Trump. And that happened to be Jack Smith, who's already gotten smoked in the Supreme Court a couple of times.

So right after the pick. Right after the pick, by the way, of JD Vance, this happened on the floor. Did you see this? I got to give you some RNC stuff because we're here live at the RNC.

This was bananas. On the floor. Don Junior is down there on the floor, and this MSNBC asshole, he sticks a mic in Don Junior's face. Did you guys see this? And of course, you know, obviously President Trump was just shot a few days ago. You think there'd be like a latency period where they wouldn't be dickheads? Just give us a couple. No.

Sticks a mic and Don's face, like, you know, giving him the whole fascist tyrant bullshit stuff. And I want you to see how Don Junior ends this thing. This is classic as well. I love Don Junior. Check this out.

Alejandro Mayorkas
What is that change going to look like, Don? What? Practically your father as president, I think you would even say was a divisive figure. What's going to look like in the second term?

Donald Trump Jr.
I don't think he was a divisive figure at all. I think the media created divisiveness around him. They lied about Russia, Russia collusion. They said he was a traitor. They went after him in every which way as possible. If the media actually starts being an honest broker, talking about the things that he did, the prosperity he brought, the peace deals that he signed around the world, rather than the disaster that we're living right now, I think you do everyone in the country a big favor.

Alejandro Mayorkas
Immigration is important to him. I covered the family separation crisis closely. Will we continue to see policies like separating 5000 children deliberately from their parents?

Donald Trump Jr.
You mean the Obama administration?

Alejandro Mayorkas
You know they didn't do that, sir.

Dan Bongino
Sure.

Alejandro Mayorkas
Will there be a second family separation policy?

Donald Trump Jr.
It's MSDNC, so I expect nothing less from you clowns. Even, even today, even 48 hours later, you couldn't wait. You couldn't wait with your lies and with your nonsense. So just get out of here, folks.

Dan Bongino
This is why I love the entire Trump family. They all have the same go get em, no bullshit approach to this stuff. These people are absolute pieces of shit. They deserve nothing. They deserve never to be treated with any respect because they're liars and they're frauds. Go look up the Lopez agreement with on. Said is right. That child separation thing he's complaining about was an Obama era thing. He's just making that up. Or he's a moron because that's what media people do. I want to play one last thing for you is important, folks. I want you to keep in perspective the potential assassination of a president, the border chaos, Ukraine, the Middle east, what's going on in Russia, China's saber rattling. What's going on in the Philippines with China and the South China Sea right now, the inflation crisis. I want you to understand that all of this happened under Biden. The media could try to hide that all they want. But the irony of this hot tip, Tom, Elliott and Grabian, is they had said a long time ago that all of this chaos was going to happen under Donald Trump. They had given out all these warnings, yet it's weird. It all materialized under the oatmeal God in the White House. Here's a little reminder of all the stuff that did happen that they said was going to happen under Donald Trump. Check this out.

Alejandro Mayorkas
What would a second Donald Trump term look like?

Dan Bongino
Well, he cannot be the next president because if he is, you can't imagine.

Alejandro Mayorkas
The things that he's going to do. Mexico, Canada.

Dan Bongino
We can't go to Canada because eventually.

Alejandro Mayorkas
Canada will become an ex to America.

Local News Reporter
And shoot visitors to the White House. Yeah, that means he can shoot the first lady.

Dan Bongino
We're going to see why the likes of which we didn't even see on.

Joy Reid
January 6 make it illegal to run against him, to throw his opponents in jail, to shut down the media.

Alejandro Mayorkas
He will make himself into the furor, and he will make everybody raise their.

Dan Bongino
Hand and salute him.

Everything they said was going to happen under Trump.

Sadly, he's gone down under the oatmeal. God. Folks, I will see you tonight.

07:00 p.m. there's some strange guy coming over here now. I've. Do you guys know this guy doing security.

Security? What? Holy.

Russell Brand

Dan Bongino

Russell Brand
Joe Rogan of streaming. This is it. This is unprecedented.

Dan Bongino
You know why? Because of them. These are really good people, Russell, who care about this guy. They care about their country, and they care about honest voices. And you're a no bullshit guy. I posted that picture of me and you yesterday outside the restaurant, and I had, like, neighbors I haven't heard from in years, like, oh, I love that guy. Cause they don't want bullshit. That's why. And that's why you have an audience and I have an audience. Cause you can listen to these media assholes lie to you all day, come to a show like us and get the truth, the unvarnished truth. And that's what people want. There's a craving for it, man. We're like. We're like truth vampires seeking blood. But we want the truth instead, you know? Yeah.

Russell Brand
I've really realized that in our space, integrity and authenticity are what people require. That we're being flooded and kind of gassed and gas lit with toxic disingenuity and dishonesty constantly. And I think that the way that you're cutting through that, mate, is incredible. No wonder there are calls for you to be given a position in government.

Dan Bongino
