This is insane. As of 2024, it's been reported that the interest we pay in the national debt has surpassed every budget item except Social Security. That's why concerned savers are turning to gold, something not tied to the inflated us dollar. And birch gold can help you diversify, too. For over 20 years, birch gold group has helped thousands protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401K into an IRA and physical gold. Just text Dan to 989898.

Dan Bongino
Dan Bongino, welcome to the Bongino brief. I'm Dan Bongino, folks, the fallout continues and the cope is obvious. On the left. The left. Listen to me, please. You got me, folks.

Speaker A
I'm.

Dan Bongino
I promise you, man, I'm not good.

Speaker A
At a lot, but I'm good at this. Well, I'm good at something, but not a lot.

I promise you, we're good at this.

Dan Bongino
Nobody analyzes these idiots better than me. I sat there on advances with these left wing staffers in two democratic white houses. You hear them talk. I ran for office in a deep blue state. I lived in a deep blue state. I have been surrounded by left wing commie socialists forever. By election thieves, by losers, commies, socialists, collectivists, lazy bums. I get them. I can read them. They trust me. The smart ones on the left absolutely know they effed up big time. They know it.

What matters in politics? Polling, money, activists, volunteers. Donald Trump has never had a better weekend. I'm going to show you some of the poll stuff coming up later. But how do we know? How do we know a tactic or a narrative is benefiting us and not benefiting them? Chat. How do we know?

Okay, we measure the reaction of the left. If the left thought this was such a tremendous success, they would be out there advertising how wonderful and fantastic and awesome is. And some are, to be clear, but the other ones are realizing this is backfiring quick. So what they're trying to do is contain our reaction because a volcano went off last week on 530 24, a volcano went off. So they are desperate to contain the reaction. The social media posts, the commentary, people like me, people like Evita, people like Rachel, people like Pete Hegsett, people like some of the Fox crew, some of the newsmax crew, Mark Levin. They gotta put a lid on it. So what's the way they put a lid on conservative reaction in the past? You guessed it, claim the reaction is racist. The problem is they've done that so many times everybody on the right is like, you guys are full of shit. We know this is some simple defense mechanism you guys are using to get away from the obvious that you're freaking commie scumbags. Okay, here we go. Cut. Number one, Jamal Bowman, the fire alarm guy with the dumbest human being up in Congress outside of AOC, and Dan Goldman, which should make him the third dumbest. So my math may be a little off, but you get the point. Here he is. This is how you know this thing is blown up in their faces. They're going right to the racist card. If you dare criticize Twinkies. Alvin Bragg.

Speaker A
Check this out.

Jamal Bowman
We as Democrats have to get Alvin Bragg's back, and we need to speak out about that. We need to surround our brothers, especially the congressional black Caucus and black democratic leaders from across this country. We need to surround him because since the very beginning, they were mis characterizing him, calling him out his name, and being racist as hell to Alvin Bragg. And I know I deal with it directly, and this is. And the last thing I want to say is this is why elections matter. I don't want to hear this crap about your vote. Doesn't matter. I'm a stay home. And all this nonsense about November, in November, if you stay home and you do not exercise the power of your vote, you are giving your power to white supremacists.

Dan Bongino
Just this rule applies every single time. Gauge your response on their reaction whenever they go to the race card. And listen, if anything was legitimate racism, obviously, we call it out because we're actually the party of, you know, constitutional liberties for all. Not the bullshit lefties who can't stand black voters.

Speaker A
They can't.

Dan Bongino
They've always treated black voters like a spreadsheet.

Speaker A
Always.

Dan Bongino
However, when they start pulling the fake race card out, which is 99.99% of the time, you know what you're doing is right, folks. They are terrified right now. This is important. Tactically, we don't let this go here. Can I be candid with you for a minute?

Speaker A
Well, of course. That's my job, right?

Listen to me.

Dan Bongino
We're in trouble. Big trouble. Okay? The left is counting on the. The steam to get out of the pot, that we're going to turn the temperature down and the water's going to stop boiling. They pulled this in Mar a Lago. They pulled it with the mug shot. And they feel like each time they push the window a little bit more open to let all the thieves in, right? They feel like they push it open. They feel like you know what you're going to. Your anger is going to dissipate. It is not. Don't let it stay on top of this story and remind every single person what they're voting for in November. I want you to watch how this is even backed up. Excuse me. Just destroyed their credibility, even in the black community. If you haven't heard of this show, you guys know what the breakfast club is very, very popular morning radio show. Podcast. Guy Charlamagne's over there. He's got a crew with him in the morning. Unbelievably popular show. Hugely popular in the black and hispanic community. Guy's got an amazing audience. I want you to listen to this caller who calls the show. This is blowing up in their face. And it proves my point. People who feel f'ed over by the system, it's not a black thing, it's not a white thing, it's not a race thing. It's people who feel f ed over by the system. It's a lot of people, from people fighting for grazing rights out west to the inner city kid who feels like he's being harassed by the system. It's not a race thing. They found a message in Donald Trump being prosecuted for bullshit.

Don't listen to me, listen to them. Check this out.

Caller
What up, Charlie, man? What up, Jeff?

Speaker A
What up? What's your thoughts, brother?

Caller
Well, I'm gonna tell you, man. I feel like Trump got dead dirty and I don't trust the system at all. You know what I mean? Especially being through the system. I'm the same when I called yesterday about that dog situation.

So it's like after you've been railroaded by this system, and you see that when you walk in the courtroom, they want you to be guilty, you're going to be guilty. I don't got no trust in that process, you know what I mean? I rock with Trump. I feel like that he way better than Biden, folks.

Dan Bongino
Data points matter, man. This isn't a science class, but data points matter, okay? You may say, oh, I get this all the time from morons on the left who have no idea what they're talking about. They just keep putting this mask in front of their face with no eye holes. They go, oh, that's just an anecdote. It's just an anecdote. That's just a single subject, just a single person. It doesn't matter. It's all going to wash out in the end, folks. How many singles? The whole idea of a sample size is a bunch of single subjects starting to add up over time. How many more of these are you going to deny? Let me ask you a question. If you, oh, it's just one black voter. Remember when Mitt Romney and McCain were running, folks?

Justin, you're not that old.

Speaker A
You remember that Evita.

Dan Bongino
You remember right back in the day, like when they were running, if there was a single black voter in a blue area, you could get on tape publicly professing his support for the pathetic Mitt Romney. It would have been a huge deal. It happened, but it was rare. It was rare. These stories are everywhere. You show up in the south Bronx and thousands of people show up for Trump. I love that the left is like, no, no, no, no, don't talk again. You know, if you're a black voter out there, Biden said it straight. You don't vote for me, you ain't black.

Think about that. Think about that. You need to go to, you need to go to Biden for your street cred or something for your, your entire racial identity is contingent on what Joe Bide fake civil Rights act.

Do we, we have that later in the show, right? That's coming up. I'm sorry, this guy like, more in a minute.

Speaker A
But first, a small regret is slouching in the dentist's chair thinking I should have brushed and flossed better. A big health regret is listening to your doctor and thinking I should have paid attention to nutrition when I was younger. Better health today and when it matters most is why I take and been taking for a long time field of greens field of greens, unlike any other fruit or vegetable green product on the market now, it isnt watered down extracts. Field of greens is an organic superfood, its whole fruits and vegetables and it tastes delicious. Each fruit and vegetable were selected by their doctors to help support vital body functions. And only field of greens is backed by a better health promise. At your next checkup, I bet your doctor will notice your improved health from good nutrition like me, owe your money back. It's quite a deal.

Dan Bongino
Don't look back and say I should.

Speaker A
Have paid attention to nutrition when I was younger. Field of greens is a key to better health today when it matters most. Let's get you started with 15% off and free shipping.

Folks, here's another one. And since I put this up, this just the news story. Since I put this up. The only reason I'm even putting up now is because it's already outdated. This data matter to you. Trump campaign raises over 50 million after New York criminal trial verdict. Let's get that out of the show because it's not even relevant. It's now closer to $300 million. Why does that matter? Listen, from a cat who's run for office, okay?

People who donate vote.

People donate. How much? It doesn't matter, bro.

People who donate vote.

I hate stupid stories, but when I first started running, I had almost no donors running for Senate.

Speaker A
Nobody knows who I am.

Dan Bongino
We did this money bomb thing. I think we had 150 people donate $20 or less. I sat in my Chevy Tahoe in my driveway, and I called every single person because it was quiet in there. I called every person that donated myself because you got to put down your contact info. True story. They had just heard of me. Know what any. I wasn't on tv, radio, anything like that. They were like, man, I heard that speech. I don't know where it was. Right, scoop or whatever they said. I really like what you're about. I am definitely voting for you. These are people who donated $255, $10. They are voting. They are voting. You think the left doesn't know this? The guy raised $300 million. Where do you think he came from, Casper the freaking friendly ghost?

It came from people.

Don't get ahead of ourselves. We still got to show up. 1010 and ten. You bring ten people with you, you email ten people, you make ten social media posts before November. There's no negotiating that. I'm sorry I can't be cute about it. You want to win?

Trump raised more than 200 million in three days.

Folks, the contrasts are everywhere. Takeaway number one from the show, and don't you forget it. People who donate vote.

That's why these donor lists matter. And, you know, can I say something? And it may be a little unpopular here, but I saw a lot of people complaining this weekend.

Speaker A
Oh, they're.

Dan Bongino
They're texting me and stuff. I get it, folks. The texts are. I'm totally with you. Point stipulated. I'm not arguing that we got to save the country. You can just ignore that. Really being on these lists so that they can contact you and potentially raise more money is important. It's not my money. I don't get anything from it. It's not mine.

It's important we save the country, and money matters. Anybody telling you otherwise is full of shit. Folks, the contrast this weekend were insane.

Speaker A
What?

No. What was the byline? Put it up again.

The former president.

Oh my gosh.

Dan Bongino
The former president's son Justin just pointed as a byline on revealed that 70 million from small donations.

You have any idea how many people that is?

If. If that was $1 a person. It isn't. That's a shit ton of votes, man, and not a dollar a person. But you get the point.

Even if it's $10 a person and it's 7 million people, or by Brian Williams Math, 740 trillion. It's a lot of votes, man. You just heard the Dan Bongino show.
